Couldn’t rate full 5 for food as we arrived after food had finished for the day. However, the sweet treats on offer looked amazing and were good for what we had. Lovely little place for a cosy drink and take the weight off your feet for a short time. Simply put, the Chai Latte is one of the best I’ve ever had!!
Lovely find. Nicely decorated inside. Cakes looked delicious. Great choice of food and the coffee was amazing. My cappuccino was rich and flavoursome with a silky milk froth. The chocolate powder stencil was a lovely touch. Thoroughly recommend
What a lovely find in Ripon. Delicious cheese scone and a decaffeinated flat white. Excellent. I know where to come to next time I’m in Ripon.
A charming little gem in the centre of Ripon! The food was absolutely beautiful, and the café had such a lovely, welcoming atmosphere. I ordered the ploughman's sandwich and a green smoothie—both were so tasty and fresh. My boyfriend had a toastie and a slice of banana loaf, and he loved it too! We’ll definitely be back. Thank you so much!
Love this place! Highly recommend going the staff is lovely and it’s one of my favorite cafes in ripon/harrogate area. They have some great food and dessert options as well as some amazing coffee it’s also just a really cute space, I’m surprised more people don’t know about it
