Cafe cocoa in Ryedale

Really pleased to find our favourite café in Pickering still open, still serving great coffee and goodies. As always a friendly, warm welcome from Graham. So many things have changed this year, it's good to know there's a smile even if it is behind a mask!

Fabulous food, service and staff! Food is home made served very efficiently. Would highly recommend the place

We visited Cafe Cocoa when having a ride out to Pickering and surrounding area. It was a charming cafe, lovely choice of food and lovely staff. Would definitely call here again when in the area.

Having a Thursday wander around Pickering, (Staying in nearby forest cabin) we happened to find this quaint little cafe, we looked outside at what things in the window were on offer, and husband said shall we go here or that one back near the car park. Well I'm so glad we went here. Offered seating downstairs or up, we decided on up, we were given menus, offered to help ourselves to water while we decided, and given a little bell to ring when we were ready to order, just fantastic, really impressed that the menu offered, local bacon or local sausage or 2 local free range eggs, in sandwiches but the special addition was "All of the above" which is usually only done in cafés by special request, so we ordered 2 of the, all of the above, hubby and son and 1 double egg for other son, and I opted for the mushroom soup. Cream optional... Yes please... 3 tea's and Hot Chocolate for me, well why not. Sandwiches were amazing, huge, packed full and just lovely, soup is lovely home made, really tasty fresh crusty bread and butter, and hot choc, cream and marshmallows too. Can't go wrong. The bill was just over £15 which is a complete bargain. Looking forward to our next cabin break and now we definitely know where to be for lunch.Thanks so much, we will be back.

Great place. Popped in for a drink and sandwich for Sunday lunch. Food was great, staff friendly and helpful and the food was great. Quaint shop with mellow music and vintage decor. Lots of delicious cakes, muffins and foods.

This is a little gem. A bit small but tables upstairs are more spacious. The food and tea are lovely.

A lovely little cafe with very friendly staff and amazing food. I tried the Beef in beer with mash potato and it was delicious. Husband had lasagne and he said it was very tasty. The cakes all looked amazing. Well priced and good value.

We were ready to eat having spent three hours on a steam train.This little cafe had some splendid offers on their specials board.I had lasagne and the wife had a beef stew.The two meals with drinks totalled 17 pounds,what a bargain.

We called in at Pickering on our way up to the Dales and were pleased to find this cafe. There isn't much seating downstairs as space is tight, but we were warmly welcomed and two tables put together for our party of three. There is a room upstairs with additional seating. Even though the cafe was busy, we were quickly served. The only slight problem was the lack of vegetarian choice in quiches but that was worked round by me and my veggie companion sharing a cauliflower cheese quiche and baked potato and beans, which made a good compromise. Both were served with a good serving of salad with a choice of dressings. Had I just wanted a vegetarian snack, the savoury scones and other savoury snack items did look good. A take out menu is also available which is a good idea. Had I been on the way home I would have been tempted to take some scones with me!

I called in at Pickering with family and friends on our way to Rosedale. Our regular lunch stop was closed, so we went off exploring. So pleased to have found this friendly little place. We were welcomed as soon as we arrived and two tables were placed together for us so we could sit together comfortably. Finding a vegetarian lunch was a bit of a struggle (there was only one cauliflower gratin quiche left) but I settled for sharing one with the other vegetarian in our party, together with a baked potato and beans. The quiche was lovely and light and the potato good quality. Both were served with a generous portion of salad, with a choice of dressings. The downstairs space is limited, but there is a room upstairs, too.

We were on holiday in Whitby and on the one rainy day decided to spot a steam train and followed the train line down and have a grin round Pickering. We checked out several of the cafes and finished up at Cocoa. Husband is Coeliac so needed gluten free and was absolutely spoilt for choice. He really enjoyed his chorizo flan and I had a veggie roll which was delicious. I was going to follow it with treacle tart but was too full. It looked good so I took a slice home and I was glad I did. Friendly service, good food and pleasant view from the dining room upstairs. Highly recommended.

We nearly didn't walk the extra few yards when we came to the end of the High Street but so glad we did.Delicious savoury scone with homemade soup, perfect for lunch. Husband had homemade quiche with salad and equally impressed. Lovely upstairs dining room but has a few tables downstairs if you can't manage the steps. Lovely place, lovely food and friendly service.

The host was very friendly and helpful. The meals were excellent and service was quick and first rate. Prices were very good too. A highly recommended place to eat in Pickering.

We called in for a drink whilst visiting Pickering and were very impressed. The coffee and tea were great, the interior quaint and quirky and the service excellent. Everything was very well priced and the food looked lovely, in fact we regretted having just eaten our own sandwiches nearby in the park! Next times we’ll eat here!

Where to start we were met by the most polite gentleman and was asked our pleasure We ordered a pot of tea and two bacon sandwiches They arrived with speed and were absolutely delicious the only point we would like to make is We think the value is unbelievable (so cheap) I told the gentleman he should increase so don,t blame me if he does he deserves it

My wife and I went to "Pickering" in June This year ( 2019 ) and sat in the small park just across from "Cafe Cocoa". My wife went in to order some food and drink fully expecting to have to wait and then bring it over the road to the park. But "No", the owner told her to go back to where we were sitting in the park and he would bring it over, which he did. Great service and much appreciated by us, lovely people.

Called in here today for a quick lunch . The food was lovely, great service, reasonably priced. Couldn't fault it. would recommend.

We were greeted cheerfully at the door and offered a table downstairs or upstairs. We settled for upstairs and found a cosy, characterful room with a variety of furniture and fittings and good views down the street. Service was speedy and friendly by cheerful Yorkshire youngsters and they were very happy to adapt the menu for a particularly fussy eater amongst us. Helpings were generous and the food was well prepared and presented. The homemade coleslaw was particularly delicious. An excellent choice for lunch.

Fabulous bacon, egg and sausage (2 of each) on a super huge brown bun. Too full to try one of the beautiful cakes. An absolute bargain at the price.

What a lovely place we found to have lunch! Just looking in the window you could see the delicious selection of cakes and other baked goods. The menu is smaller but really well made and it tasted as good as it looked. The staff were absolutely which always makes a difference as well. We would definitely recommend a visit here.

Arrived in Pickering at lunchtime on the North York Moors Railway, never been there before, and just started looking around for somewhere to eat. Found this little cafe, and were wowed by the tasty food, friendly service and very reasonable prices. The homemade quiche and salad was a very good choice, and set us up for the rigours of an afternoon's sightseeing and return railway journey.

Visited here 5 years ago and loved it then. Great to see it has the same owners and same delicious cakes and sausage rolls. My cherry and almond tart was the best cake I've eaten in my life!! Kids shared a toasted teacake too and it was huge. Such a lovely feel inside. Wish we lived closer!

What a nice little cafe, dog friendly too.Very helpful owner,tea & scones were very good.The red Leicester , pepper & spinach scone was very tasty, fruit scone was just out of the oven , will call again when we are in the area.

This cafe is small but beautifully formed! The owner is very friendly and clearly has a lot of regulars amongst his clientele, always a good sign. The home made element of the food served is what makes it special. We had two quiche salads and my husbands Yorkshire meat pie was bursting with meat and delicious. Good coffee and tea. We didn't sample them but the cheese scones looked amazing and they sold a lot while we were there, to eat in and take away. Ideal for a coffee break or light lunch

Stopped for tea and cake over the Easter week-end. Service, welcome and quality of food and drink were fabulous. Can't wait to return for more 'quality control' :)

We Arrived on a chilly bright day in April and came across this quaint little Café while walking around the small town, it looks totally insignificant from the outside, but the Teas, Coffees, Cakes and Sanwhiches offer a memorable experience.

I occasionally buy my lunch from here if I haven’t been organised enough to make it at home.

Went for breakfast when friends visited with us and we had a lovely breakfast. Full english for me. Good coffee and friendly staff.

Lovely little quaint coffee house / cafe. Excellent food, good value for money and above all a really good cup of coffee. Everything cooked to order, so not the speediest but definitely worth the wait.

We called in for a sandwich and tea while we were in Pickering one Sunday when most places only seemed to be doing Carvery style Sunday lunches. The sandwiches were lovely and nothing was too much trouble.

Small husband and wife team kindly fitted us 3 ladies in. Nothing was too much trouble including the bell if we needed anything. A hand bell. Home made food was excellent and we would like to say thankyou.

We stumbled across this little cafe on a search for a bite to eat and were very impressed by a great selection of lunches, snacks and cakes. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the cafe has a really nice relaxed atmosphere. There were lots of good gluten free including several cakes and good veggie options too. Would really recommend!

Have eaten in and had takeaway from here. Really impressed with the quality of food served. There is a good choice of options, with something for everyone. I like the board outside that tells you when the baked goods are ‘fresh out of the oven’.

We were hungry, it had been a long time since our early breakfast. Called into this cafe expecting to have some Lunch, but unfortunately the menu was limited to snacks or what some people would call Light Lunch. Very limited menu, quite expensive and some items poor value for money.

very fine cafe on the high street of Pickering great for Lunch snacks and takeaway. all foods we tried over the week staying in the area were excellent.all seem homemade on premises. highly recommended.

Dit is een leuk kleinschalig cafeetje met goede koffie en lekkere scoontjes. Je kan hier beneden zitten, wat overigens wel heel erg klein is. Maar ook boven is hier zitgelegenheid. De bediening was vriendelijk.

Called in for a snack and a cup of tea. Ended up having a full English and what a good decision it was. Quality bacon and sausage with plenty of toast and a proper nice cup of tea. The portion size was spot on. My partner had a sausage sandwich which hit the spot for her. Why do you always find these places at the end of a holiday? One thing to note which is by no means a criticism, they only take cash.

Visited today (21st June) with a friend,both had fruit scones and butter with drinks. served pretty quickly.We sat downstairs,as we got there they were cleaning an empty table.Downstairs by the way is dog friendly,and actually quite cramped.

My husband and I popped in this cafe for a sandwich but then decided to have a breakfast. The breakfast was freshly cooked and served with toast and butter. The sausages were lovely and we asked where they were from. The local butcher only doors away. We took home a kilo of thick pork sausages also. We will definitely use the cafe again..Very soon I would imagine. To get more sausages !!!..Great service in both establishments..See you soon

Stopped of in pickering on route to helmsley after a short walk around (short due to the horrible weather) myself and my partner found this little gem of a cafe to escape the weather and get a coffee and snack. Both of us really enjoyed the coffee and my sandwich was excellent, a nice touch to offer me a small pot of homemade coleslaw at no extra charge. My partner had the mushroom soup and really enjoyed it. Even though we were only in for a light bite my partner was just too tempted by the chocolate mousse gateau from the very well stocked cake cabinet. I think her words were heaven! We will definatly stop by again when we are next in the area.

After visiting the town of Pickering and the market decided to pop in for a drink before heading back to the car, small cafe with seating upstairs, had two coffee`s and a snack, being afternoon the selection of snack was small so decided on a spiced haggis roll while my wife had an egg custard. Very tasty and reasonably priced, it was empty when we went in but sitting in the window by the door attracted some more customers to call in. Overall a good choice.

Just popped in whilst waiting for train back to Whitby. I’m glad we did, dog friendly, and human friendly.. we had 2 coffees and a scone with jam and cream which were lovely.. gentleman serving was very nice too.. would go back if I was ever in Pickering again and would highly recommend.

Once again we visited the cafe and again it was 100% satisfaction. The soup was fantastic and the sandwich was great. Great selection of home made and local foods. Thanks again and look forward to seeing you soon Love Redcar xxx lol

Cafe Cocoa is a great place to pop in for breakfast, lunch or a slice of their amazing cakes. We pop in as often as we can. The cakes are extremely good! The staff make it a very welcoming place. The monthly Friday night suppers are also great, with a great selection of good quality food.

Always pop in for a cup of tea and a snack when visiting the local auction house. Even a very good welcome for our new puppy.

Great Food, Great home made & delicious desserts, and, a great host. JUST AMAZING. The Gentleman ( Proprietor) was just Superb!

We called in here for a snack on our way to our holiday accommodation. I had the homemade soup (carrot and ginger) which was delicious and my partner had a bacon roll which he thoroughly enjoyed. The cakes looked delicious but we had a meal booked later so did not have any. A really nice little cafe and well worth a visit. We will return.

The cafe has a good varied menu of snack and lunchtime meals, besides 'Daily Specials' and great home-made pies, quiches, scones and cakes. We were spoiled for choice and it was easy to find a vegetarian option. There are a few tables downstairs and a lovely vintage tearoom upstairs with a delightful view over the municipal gardens. In pleasant weather customers often order their delicious 'take-out' sandwiches and sit waiting in the gardens across the road - as we did in the summer. The kind proprietor hand-delivered them to us with a 'bon appetit'!

We visited (as we always do) during the Pickering war weekend. It was busy, as was to be expected, but...

My partner and I called in to Cafe Cocoa for a quick bite to eat or that was the intention....

Home made quiche, home made cake and a lovely cup of tea. Very helpful and friendly, lovely food, couldn't wish...

we went back to Café Cocoa early morning tea coffee and lovely toast everything as good as the last time...

A lovely quaint cafe. The man behind the counter was very friendly and helpful. We just was in time for...

Came for breakfast based on the online reviews. Took a seat at a table upstairs where an efficient man came & promptly took our order. 2 small breakfasts & 2 bacon buns. There's only a small number of tables so it's very cosy but in a nice way. Food arrived quickly & was nice & hot. 8ry old said it was best bacon buttie she could remember having. High praise indeed from a young foodie in the making! Egg was cooked well, very good quality bacon, decent sausage, thick toasted fresh bread & delicious tomatoes. All in all very good but I must say when it says 'small breakfast' on the menu they ain't joking!

Went on a train journey to Pickering and as you do had a wander round, came across Cafe Cocoa. Excellent food I had a sandwich plus a black pudding and pork sausage roll. Excellent. The others all enjoyed their meals. Added bonus the only rain of the day was whilst we were eating our lunch. Excellent service, good food will be our port of call next time we are in Pickering. Thank you

Visited today very friendly and quaint..... fantastic Cappucino ........... open early for breakfast full english. Home made cakes ☺

We were wondering around Pickering looking for somewhere to eat a late lunch and stumbled across Cafe cocoa and we thought we would give it a try. The selection of food was not huge but wide enough to satisfy everyone. I enjoyed the daily special of Steak and Kidney pie, while the rest of the family enjoyed an Omlette, Bacon rolls and sausage rolls, all of which where very tasty. The small dining room was clean, tidy and laid out nicely. Plenty of natural light and we sat in a nice window seat. I would recommend checking this nice little eatery if you are in Pickering or even just passing through.

Had a lovely evening here at the monthly supper club. Food was delicious and fantastic value. Friendly welcome and well looked after. Book early as it's very popular!

Visited this lovely little cafe twice during our recent trip to North Yorkshire with my husband and a Yorkshire Terrier. Received a very warm welcome from the owner, and had a lovely chat. Ate pastries and cake with soft drinks and prosecco. Everything was well made and tasted fab. (A nice touch that they served alcohol). Would love to visit in the evening. It's on the list for our next visit.

A warm welcome awaits you at cafe cocoa. Owners/staff are lovely. Small cafe with a homely feel. Food freshly cooked / prepared to order. Quality fresh ingredients. Tinely service. All reasonably priced with discounts for take away service.

Surprised by missleading prices review. I have been to this little gem of a cafe several times. Takeaway prices are clearly stated on the wall and there is a menu for eating in. My mum is not very mobile but I found the proprietor went the extra mile to ensure we had a good visit. The food is excellent and I would definitely recommend and will be back!

As I got off the bus, I needed somewhere for lunch, this was the first place I came across. I am so glad I found it. I has the pork and apple sausage roll with salad. A real very large sausage roll, wonderful pastry, great filling. With a glass of wine , just what I needed.

Went into cafe expectations were good as it looked a comfy an quiet spot. Prices didn't look bad from menu on the wall, but looks were decieving. That was takeaway pricing, it wasn't til after we ordered an paid!!!!!!!! That we discovered it was way more expensive than we planned. I had a good luck round an I couldn't see eat in prices anywhere. By all means go there as food was nice enough but if your planning on eating in check the prices first

We have eaten breakfast a few times and can recommend lovely local produced food, coffee good. We have tried one or two of the cakes lovely fresh and large no weight watchers portions. It is dog friendly downstairs at the two tables .

Needed a pit stop with our little tribe and found this gem. We each had cake and it was beautiful. Love the loose leaf tea too, fantastic brew.

Moved to Pickering recently visited cafe cocoa on a number of occasions for breakfast or tea and cheesy scones. Lovely selection of loose leaf teas Family run cafe always welcoming perfect service definitely a must for anyone visiting Pickering ☕️

we were in Pickering working went into Cafe CoCoa I had tea my wife had coffee and we had 2 lovely slices of cake very nice everything very nice lady served us

We have been meaning to visit this place for a while now. Thankfully we finally got around to it, and what a delight. The staff are wonderful, so friendly and welcoming. There are not a lot of tables so you may not always be able to get in, depending on the time of day. We visited at around 1.30pm on a Friday which was ok on this occasion. I had the cottage pie and mushy peas. My pie was homemade im sure, being full of meat and topped with potato and leek mash. It was tasty and very well presented. The portions are not large, but neither are the prices to be fair. You get an adequate portion suitable for most I'm sure. The venue is also lovely being quaint and cosy. Highley recommended we will certainly be returning to sample breakfasts and the evening meals.

We discovered this cafe on a weekend visit to Pickering and enjoyed it so much that we went back a second time. A good range of food is available for lunch and some delicious cakes too. The service was very friendly and efficient both times. This cafe is definitely worth a visit!

Extremely friendly and helpful. Good home made food - not messed about with. Make great coffee. Would definitely recommend it

Come here every year on our holiday after discovering this little gem of a place. A friendly welcome, a lovely selection of cakes and pastries alongside a lunch and breakfast menu. The food is really goodAnd my husband declares one of the best coffee's in Yorkshire.

Two of us had the special sausage rolls (pork and haggis option) - very good - and I had tasty mackerel pate with fresh toast, also good. All with fresh salad, including pomegranate.

Cafe Cocoa is a friendly place to spend an hour. Lunch with friends is perfect here. The owner is really friendly and happy to help. The menu is wide and caters for vegetarians too. Lots of ambience upstairs in a country style and dog friendly downstairs. You will not be disappointed by the wide range of drinks and delectable food on offer.

My partner and I regularly visit cafe cocoa for breakfast. And it is always perfect. They cater for my vegan partner with none of the awkwardness some establishments have and the sausage and bacon for myself is top quality.They are open at regular times so,unlike some places,you don't have to guess whether they will be open or not! Keep up the good work!!Adam and Faye

Very good choice on the menu and good selection of cakes. The staff were helpful and friendly. Cozy and comfortable on a cold grey day.

We visited this cafe earlier this month during a trip to North Yorkshire. It was a bitterly cold day but the café was warm and the owner was welcoming and friendly. My wife had a tuna sandwich and I had a sausage sandwich. The sausage was sourced from a local butcher. The quality of the food was first class and our coffees were excellent. We visit cafes two or three times a week and this is the best café we have visited for quite a while. We will certainly call again when we next visit Pickering.

We were not attracted by the exterior but the menus were impressive and it was cold and wetThe owner \manager ? gave us a friendly welcome and ran us through the locally sourced and mostly homemade soups ,sandwiches ,main meals ,savouries, cakes and desserts on offer and left us to decide while he made sure that a family with a baby and a large wheel chair and an elderly lady who was clearly a regular lunch customer were fitted into the small downstairs area.I chose a large pot of excellent tea and a local butchers sausage sandwich whole my wife had a cafetière of quality coffee and "the best toasted tea cake in years" .The gentlemen and his staff were tireless in ensuring that customers upstairs and down were satisfied-a level of genuine service t hat I have rarely seen matched in 5 star establishments Refreshed ,we bought cakes to take with us a carried on exploring this attractive and interesting town

The owner was very friendly and chatty, we had sausage rolls and chutneys, the sausage rolls were the best I've tasted, highly recommended.

Visited here while on the war weekend. Had coffees and sausage sandwich and toasted tea cake. I managed 4 cups of tea out of my teapot with the hot water provided.. All very tasty. Lovely vintage feel to the place everyone very friendly. Owner suggested if we wanted to come back for lunch it was best to book so we did and went back mid afternoon for lunch. This was just as tasty with my spiced root vegetable and goats cheese roll served hot with baked beans and my partner having the beef stew which came with cheesy jacket potato skins. I had also reserved a Yorkshire curd cheesecake when we in earlier so pleased I did as they had sold out when we came back for lunch. It was absolutely delicious. We will certainly be back next time we visit Pickering.

Visited here again this week with my partner and was greeted like an old friend. We had a lovely cheese scone, veggie roll and opera cake. My tea was excellent and my partner is still talking about her hot chocolate. Will be going back very soon. John and Jill

Having had a wander around pickering and past several eateries, we spotted this one across the green, what a great find and worth the effort of continuing part the others. Very attentive staff, lovely vintage feel to the interior, and the food, freshly made and delicious.

Having been camping for several days and woken up early, I was very hungry by the time we got to Pickering. Not fancying a greasy fry up, Cafe Cocoa offered a delicious and healthy omelette which really hit the spot! Not only was the food fresh and tasty, the coffee was very good and the service impeccable. We spent a good hour or so reading the paper and enjoying the atmosphere; a must visit if you fancy a very enjoyable pit stop!

Situated just past the church, came across Cafe Cocoa whilst on train trip from Whitby. Then stopped off for breakfast on way home. Really nice food and service both times. Would highly recommend- miss out the cafes in the main street and head here

Yes - they really do deliver your order across the road to the green! On a sunny day what a great way to have a light lunch - sitting on one of a number of park benches eating very generous sandwiches and watching the world and its dogs go by. Great stopping off place for lunch or for a break exploring the town.

We visited here and wrote a review in 2014 so being in need of a full breakfast early morning we called in again. Another warm friendly welcome and an excellent breakfast for both of us, next time we are going to call in later and try those fabulous looking home made cakes. Lets see if you remember us next time Graham.

We just popped in for a quick lunch we sat upstairs on the window table this was first time for me my daughter is a regular the food is very very good homemade scones cakes salads pies lots to choose from even my 3yr old grandson had cheese on toast. Countless varieties of sausage rolls Prices were surprisingly a lot less than others in the town. Lovely coffee I like a good coffee! My grandson aproves of the fantastic Victoria sponge cake!A nice atmosphere comfortable surroundings we were even given a bell to ring to get the atention of the waiter haha very relaxing lovely food all round lovely little place hundred percent recommend it to anyone!

We popped in here as we had a dog but there were no tables downstairs but the gentleman said he would keep us a table once someone left.While inside there was a very homely atmosphere - obviously popular with the locals and also we were made to feel very welcome....and the dog.The menu and food were very good - good homemade things on offer.We'd definitely go back when in Pickering!Thank you!

Almost overlooked this place as it's not that big and it's just round the corner at the top of the main street but so glad we didn't. Downstairs is dog friendly and it has a good vegetarian selection. It's a nice day so we decided to go with the take out menu and sit in the park opposite. Owner said they had a few orders to process but would bring ours over the road to us when it was ready which I thought was very nice! When sandwiches arrived the ingredients were fresh, good quality and there was plenty of filling.Wonderful food and service, would go here again!

Popped in on our way to Whitby, a delightful little cafe in an old house. Polite and quick service backed up by delicious food. We had the home cooked quiche and jacket potato and they were incredibly tasty. A real little gem if you find yourself in Pickering.. Would definitely go there again x

Having ordered my courgette and pea soup in the cafe in went and sat on the green opposite. My soup was delivered in a disposable cup to my seat on the green, and it was delivered with a smile. Great soup! Great service!

I have been to this café about a year ago for Coffee and cakes, was impressed and this is a return visit. Hidden away in a side street, quaint and small, had the Ploughman's lunch platter(main course) which had everything, variety of cheese, chutney, pickled onions, pork pie, a veritable feast. I then had chocolate cake and a very good coffee. A very pleasant experience all round and when I next visit Pickering I will be calling again. We even got to sign the "book wall" .

The food was freshly prepared , good selection of meals, the ham salad sandwiches were the tastiest ones we'd had all week, lovely cup of tea in a china cup which was very welcome,the staff was very friendly and greeted our dog inside the dog friendly area inside the cafe. It is very difficult to find a cafe where you can take a did inside s

Stumbled across Cafe Cocoa on a Sunday lunchtime. It is only a small place but has a good selection of lunches on the menu and also daily specials. They also offer a variety of coffee, I had the iced coffee and was given a choice of one or two shots of espresso (nice, as not everyone enjoys strong coffee). I had a vegetable roll with salad- spicy root vegetables and goats cheese; my friend had a special quiche with salad. The savoury roll and quiche were delicious. We asked for a glass of water with our lunch and were served it with ice. The staff were very attentive, courteous and friendly and I shall definitely return on my next visit to Pickering in August. The cakes looked delicious though we didn't sample any. I would recommend anyone to visit, whether for a meal, snack, drink or to buy there homemade cakes and pastries.

We were on our way to Dalby Forest and stopped off in Pickering for a quick lunch. What a lovely surprise to find this gem. Home cooked food, varied menu and great service. One of the best coffees I've had too. Will definitely add it to my list for future reference.....

Found this place on our recent visit to Pickering. Walked past it previously without realising it was even there but the sign proclaiming the "Home made food"We had the Steak & Ale pie with peas and mash which was first class and reasonably priced. The service was both friendly and courteous and I guess nothing would have been too much trouble.It's not the biggest of places so at busy times I guess you could be disappointed to find no space but we would certainly recommend paying this little cafe a visit when you're in town.

This was one of those mid-afternoon stops - too late for lunch but everyone peckish. We had spent 15 minutes looking for place with seating for 5 of us and this was the last place within sight. Alas this is a small place and so no space downstairs - upstairs might have been an option except there was no place to "park" the pushchair in any case.So, family were despatched to reserve a bench on the green opposite the cafe and I ordered. Disappointedly 2 of the soft drinks ordered were not available and so I took responsibility and ordered alternatives (neither of which turned out to be welcomed!). A very good locally made sausage roll but it would not be fair to comment further except to say coffee I ordered was very good, and the service friendly.

My husband and I were looking for a place to have a light lunch. We're on holiday so we weren't familiar with Pickering. We found this on our way into the market place and thought it looked just right. There is seating downstairs and upstairs, not lots but this adds to the character of the place. We were quickly served and there was lots to choose from. Soup, quiche, sandwiches, panini's, jacket potatoes etc. They also do a breakfast menu and a specials menu. I had bacon, Brie and cranberry toastie and my husband had a jacket potato with cheese. They both did the job and were perfect for what we wanted. Mine came with a lovely side salad, crisps and a choice of dressing (hubby didn't have any- doesn't like salad!). Didn't have any room for cake but they looked good too! I had a pot of tea to drink which is served with proper china teacups and my husband had a luxury hot choc which was to die for! Owners were very polite and chatty. Great find!

We visited this cafe along with our two Springer spaniels. We both had a lovely coffee, I had a freshly baked fruit scone which was delicious and my husband really enjoyed his bacon roll, not greasy and in a proper bun. Our two dogs didn't miss out they were each given a dog biscuit. Service is friendly and efficient. Love the lights made out of bone china teacups!

We've just had the loveliest lunch at this treasure of a cafe. From the bone china tea cups, relaxed, comfortable atmosphere to the salad garnish. Every aspect of this place is thoughtfully implemented with the utmost care. The service is friendly and the food delicious. I do also firmly believe that I have just eaten the best Yorkshire curd tart ever. Please don't change a thing!

Had some excellent coffee and home-made cakes here while waiting for the rain to stop. The Yorkshire curd tarts and the Bakewell tarts were to die for.
