This is a proper little gem, Food is always fresh and tasty and the coffee is great. Service with a smile and so friendly, the nicest Cafe I’ve been to in Harrogate.
Great value cafe serving excellent food at great prices that also supports people with learning disabilities. This was my second visit and won't be my last. Their toasted sandwiches (using Baltzersens sourdough) are tasty and well priced at £6.50.
Needed somewhere to stop for a coffee and spotted this place just after we arrived in Harrogate for a little shopping trip. Coffee was great, but the real star was the caramel short bread. Fabulous fudge-y caramel, crumbly shortbread and some chocolate on top. Sort of wish I hadn't opted to share it... Next time I'll have one all to myself! 😁
Small cafe with simple menu but good place for coffee or hot chocolate. We had very tasty brownie, carrot cake and choc muffin. Our waitress was lovely.
