Cafe on the green in Derbyshire Dales

Stopped of for a quick bite for breakfast before a walk. Both me and my husband had a bacon sandwich which was generously filled on lovely fluffy white bread. Very dog friendly and lovely coffee also. It was a tad pricey but is in a good and convenient location.

We popped here for a quick sandwich and a coffee after a day out. Although we felt the prices were expensive, we could live with paying £5.50 for a bacon sandwich as we believed it would be of good quality. The bread was stale and the bacon was like paper but this was not the worst part. Our partners both ordered a cheese and onion sandwich respectively, the cheese tasted funky and I would argue it had gone off and the onion was mouldy. There was actual parts of mould in our sandwich which for my partner who is 37 weeks pregnant, this was not one of her cravings. Overpriced and underwhelmed to say the least. Will not be returning here unfortunately

As a family we had been to the cafe before so only used because of convenience, car park close by which is charged for. Firstly Tables were dirty, tea was good! Very limited menu. Sandwich although tasted fresh had very little ham on , just a few crisps on the side . Overall three sandwiches, three drinks £33 sadly not really worth the cost . Lacking in personality from the staff, It could have been so much better. I would return for a drink only next time.

Excellent experience today warm welcome and friendly efficient service. The drinks were lovely and hot and the sausage sandwich far superior to the norm. Will be back.

Lovely little place for a coffee to warm up after a walk in the peaks. Thank you for being so welcoming 😊

Lovely cooked breakfast and they even offered to swap out egg for another sausage. Warm, delicious and out of the cold!

Rang up to see if there was any tables available was told he’d have a look “yes couple available” on arriving we were the only people lol 😂 coffee lovely young lad serving very nice lady very abrupt toasted teak cake £4.50 hard and under toasted sausage sandwich and egg inedible was hard cold and obviously yesterdays sausage, when complained lady was not apologetic, chef arrived apologised and admitted was previously cooked good as had a flood and no oven.this place did used to be busy and bustling and a proper walkers cafe not any more it’s a shame.

We were served by a friendly lady who took our orders, the coffee and food came quickly. One of the coffee cups had lipstick on it, it happens and lipstick doesn’t always come off 🤷🏼‍♀️ We let the lady know and she apologised and made a new one in a clean cup. When our breakfast arrived one of them had beans which we specifically said we didn’t want as I absolutely hate them. I was embarrassed and felt bad as we’d already swapped the coffee and explained this to the lady. She said they would re make the order, she went through to the kitchen where we could hear the chef shouting and swearing about having to remake the breakfast. We were left feeling very uncomfortable and I considered telling them just to cancel the breakfast and leave. We stayed and the breakfast came without the beans, the food was okay nothing to shout home about. It was just a very uncomfortable experience, which is a shame as going out for breakfast was supposed to be a treat after a rough few weeks.

Me and my wife like to try different restaurants and cafeterias when out walking and today we stumbled upon this little gem. First of all the service from the European girl who served us our hot drinks was fantastic, she was A1 friendly. The food came within 15 minutes and was very well presented and exactly as we ordered as we did not want all the items listed. The vegetarian breakfast was beautifully presented and was probably the best we have had in the Peak District for a while. Highly recommended. 5 stars. Would recommend it to our walker friends and will be calling again in the future.

Absolutely awful . Grubby unclean ordered a bacon sandwich and toasted tea ale 2 coffees 40 mins still not arrived, went to the counter was 1st told bacon not defrosted then order arrived immediately after, but it was incorrect young girl said order had gone missing, no apology, service unwelcoming, lazy attitude staff couldn’t care less should not have paid for rubbish that was serviced 4.25 for hardly toasted tea cake just awful would Never go back

Very friendly staff, although only one person serving so it took a while to get served as teas/ coffees were made before serving next customer. The “full” English was very nice but for £9:95 you get 1egg,1bacon, black pudding, beans etc but half a sausage sliced lengthwise seems a bit stingy to say the least.

We went for breakfast. The tables needed wiping. The cups were stained . We felt it was expensive and service was slow. That said the staff were friendly and the toast nice.

Found this cafe online as was on route to our destination, lovely coffee the food was nice I would say a little pricey for what it was but if you are passing it’s a nice place to stop off

Top Bakewell tarts, just like my mum used to bake. Friendly staff and a lovely cuppa to boot. Close to Chatsworth and close to many walking paths.

A great little cafe where we had a coffee and cakes. Excellent cakes, different that you find everywhere else and very good. Very good service as well.

Arrived around 2.30 on Sunday afternoon,only another table of diners. Noticed menu was much smaller than our last visit and cake, bun selection was much depleted. I ordered a BLT , my partner the last quiche . After a wait the food arrived. The quiche was burned ,top and bottom, the male cook apologized. My small BLT was ok but both our small salads had seen better days. At the end of our meal the pleasant front of house lady came with a full refund !!!!!! I asked if the cafe was under new management, she said No and said that Saturday had been busy . We have visited this cafe numerous times over the years, it's very inconsistent and having initially spent 22 pounds it was very disappointing. From recent reports were not the only customers to be let down. Definitely don't call at the end of the day.

Visited many times before and always enjoyed the experience, called in yesterday for tea & cake ordered 2 teas, a frangipane and Bakewell tart Frangipane was ok the Bakewell tart was pastry bottom jam and a hard biscuit like top, We received one small pot of tea between us which equalled one cup each The bill came to £15, cakes were £4.50 each which means we paid £6 for one small pot of tea!!!

Been many times and really enjoyed the food but on a visit today they must have new owners as the breakfast was different small and ingredients cheap for the same price will have to find a different cafe

In a rush to get my bus and needing a cuppa I popped in to Café on the Green. I didn’t look at the menu for prices I just ordered a cup of tea to take away, not to sit in, repeat to take away. I was shocked to be asked for £3. I’d been in Harrogate the week before and had sat in for tea, in a pot with a pot of hot water and china cups for £2.70!!! You are 61% of the price to sit in at Betty’s for a cup of Yorkshire Tea! The word greedflation has been mentioned a lot recently I wonder if it applies here?

Had a lovely hour sat here watching the world go by in a beautiful village, will definitely be dropping in on this tea shop again.

Great spot for a brunch I would recommend the chips the steak cut is very nice would recommend for a family lunch

I've driven past this cafe loads of times and thought it looked welcoming and in a nice spot, so I called in whilst put walking. I had a cappuccino (small mug) and a piece of rocky road, which cost £7.50! The staff were so unwelcoming,...

We popped in here for a bite to eat yesterday.Two toasted ciabatta sandwiches (just ok) and two mediocre coffees for £23.50. Very expensive and disappointing experience.Unwelcoming staff .Would not recommend.

Food was ok but not a comfortable place to eat. Feels cold and damp inside which is understandable as there wasn’t a scrap of heating on in the place. Take a warm coat and be prepared to eat in it!

Delicious food, very friendly and efficient service. Would definitely recommend after a good walk up Curbar Edge

The cafe is in a lovely situation with an attractive interior and exterior. However, we dined here on a chilly November morning and it was difficult to enjoy our expensive breakfasts, as after closing the propped-open door twice to keep out the cold, they kept...

After reading a bloggers review of this dog friendly cafe we decided to give it a try and visited on a Friday lunchtime. We found a table easily enough but it needed clearing of dirty cups, plates etc and needed a wipe down. After waiting...

Just had a delicious lunch here. The food was fresh, well cooked and presented. The focaccia was delicious and very filing. My companions had a cooked breakfast which they both enjoyed. Great that we could take our dog with us. The service was lovely and...

We have just returned from a week in Baslow and this cafe was literally next door to our accommodation. Popped in several times for coffee, cake, lunch. The Focaccia specials they do are delicious and large, similarly with the cakes and tray bakes, fruit cake...

We called into this cafe on Sunday where we ordered the Indian toasted sandwich. It looked very nice when it arrived but it was too hard to eat. The cheese inside was a very strong cheddar which overpowered the rest of the ingredients inside. Cucumber...

Excellent breakfast. Good service and value for money. Always cheerful. Usually go here when in the village.

I visited the cafe today in the middle of a 20 mile walk to be created by the most friendly and accommodating staff (Dawn and Cath) to have a well needed cuppa of Yorkshire tea and a Home made Bakewell tart made by the manager...

A very frosty reception, the older lady on the till did not give off 'people-person' vibes. I saw a man try to say thank you and goodbye to her, but she completely ignored him. On TripAdvisor, they list themselves as having vegan options, however in...

Yummy cakes, quick service and friendly staff, what more could you want after a long walk around Chatsworth.

Having not visited here for many years, we decided to call in on the off chance. We are so glad we did! A very warm welcome from the staff, and the offering of alternative items for any not liked within the Super 7 English Breakfast....

Unwelcoming reception from staff. Tables left uncleared and unclean (Covid? Germs? ) also overpriced for what was on offer and served. Can they explain and justify increased costs for decaffeinated drinks and milk alternatives that are a medical requirement? Punitive and unfair and makes me...

Laura makes the tastiest bacon sandwiches ever. Perfect for after a walk around chatsworth on a Saturday morning. Coffees always piping hot. Delicious.

Visited today would not return food Cold. No atmosphere did not feel welcome. Muddy dogs everywhere. Avoid.

Stopped in yesterday for a breakfast ahead of a day at Chatsworth. We both had the full English and it was cooked really well and specific to our requests. Thank you

We visited this little cafe when down at Chatsworth House and the food was excellent and extremely good value. The staff (or owners) were so friendly and welcoming and helpful and it was a pleasure to visit and we will definitely be back when in...

Lovely small friendly cafe, really nice breakfast, good quality produce if a little small for the price. Nice coffee, will be back, and dog friendly 🐶☕

Called in for a take away drink as part of our 1st real day out since covid. Well ran and great service. Full covid measures in place with an effective ordering and collection service. Happy to call in again for something to eat once things...

Excellent breakfast and coffee. I had a bacon sandwich bread was so fresh and lovely and thick. Husband had full breakfast and tea. Staff very attentive.

Wonderful visit. Stunning scones. Beautiful bakewell slice. A warm welcome by delightful staff. Good luck during this difficult year. Thank you.

A great cafe for cyclists, fantastic Coffee and a perfect menu to fuel your ride. I had the Italian toasted Chorizo mozzarella and pesto sandwich, it is absolutely delicious, home made cake to follow. Perfect location to stop during a ride in the Peak District...

We stopped off to get takeaway bacon sandwiches. Lovely bacon and delicious white bread. Quick and efficient service. Highly recommend.

Lovely coffee but cakes need a rethink.Large portions but all look similar.Big bit of iced Bakewell slice.Very dry and knife needed for the pastry.A small piece of nice cake would be better😃

Staff are always very friendly here. The food is great, nice variety. I had the soup of the day which is always home made and delicious. The flap jacks were a little too sweet and sticky, but food is usually very nice. We regularly visit...

Previous visits to this cafe with friends have proved enjoyable with the Derbyshire oatcakes a particular highlight. Today I checked the website for opening times ( as these seem to have changed a little over the years) and confirmed it was open. Imagine our disappointment after a longish drive into Derbyshire to find the cafe closed with no explanation at all on the door. There may have been an emergency but the lack of communication is no way to run a business. We were not the only potential customers to walk away a little disgruntled. An explanation would be or would have been appreciated.

We took advantage of reasonable January weather and stopped off in Baslow for a mid morning snack. As on previous visits we had a tasty brunch of poached eggs on brown toast and excellent lattes. Highly recommended cafe!

Very handily located just a short distance from the entrance to Chatsworth Park, the Cafe on the Green is a nice spot to grab a coffee and watch the world go by in Baslow.We had two coffees only but the food and cake selection looked great.Prices are broadly in line with chain coffee shops.

Drove up from Nottingham uni with 2 friends for an afternoon at Chatworth House. Came to this cafe on our way home for a cup of tea and a scone. The food was delicious, one of the best (and biggest) scones I’ve had. The lady that served us was extremely friendly and smiley. Lovely atmosphere and decor. Will definitely come back again, especially to try the breakfast menu which looks very delicious!!!

We stopped here early lunch time, and we were so glad we got in when we did - it got super busy during the lunch period. The food was delicious, exactly the warm, filling meal that we were looking for before an afternoon walk around Chatsworth. I'd highly recommend to anyone in the area!

The food is lovely, the cakes are scrumptious and the staff were really friendly. We will definitely visit again if we are in the area.

Good service, hot food, well priced and clean. Friendly helpful staff. Keep up the good work. Visit regularly.

Lovely spot for a pot of tea and a sandwich after a walk through the Chatsworth estate. Dog friendly and child friendly with a wide ranging menu. The fruit scones and Bakewell tarts are particularly good

Popped in on way home from travelling up north. Bijou but cosy. I had a lovely generous slice of ginger parkin & others had treacle/fruit slice. Plates of food coming out of the kitchen, looked nice. 4 cakes & 4 hot drinks for just under £16. Would definitely recommend.

Went here today with a friend and her dog. After doing the walk in Chatsworth grounds were we saw the deer, we called here for a hot drink and cake. We sat outside where a warm throw was provided

We make annual trips to Derbyshire and love to call in at this cafe. The staff are always lovely and the food good and well presented. A real treat to stop by for refreshments.

Called here Sunday morning on the recommendation of a friend. I only had a coffee and teacake but both were excellent. I was alone but customers and staff were very pleasant. Will definately call again soon. I parked in the pay and display car park but I think there may be free parking spots to be found in the vicinity.

Nice,friendly little cafe, which serves very tasty cakes. Good after a long walk. Also have an appartment for rent.

Called in for coffee was greeted with a friendly smile, the choice of food suited everyone, it looked tasty and well presented, prepared fresh on the premises Cakes,scones breakfast etc specials on a blackboard will most definitely go again

Great, freshly made sandwich with salad. Good coffee, good service, pleasant environment. Ideal place for brunch, coffee, lunch or afternoon tea.

I have to say that the food is very good and the staff quite friendly. It's only a small cafe but makes the most of its space without cramping up. Toilets available upstairs, the staircase is not for anyone with poor mobility though ! Now, I like dogs but I do feel that they don't belong in places that serve food and drink. This cafe allows them in and we had two of them while we were there. One decided to constantly yap and we had to endure that for a little while until its owner moved outside with it. Not at the cafe owners request though, they just smiled indulgently ! So for me, it would be better if no dogs were allowed in, especially as it is a small space and you can't get away from them if they start being noisy.

Having been on a walk through Chatsworth Park we were looking forward to a lovely English tea at the Cafe on the Green only to be told on arrival at 15.30 on a Saturday afternoon that they were closing. What sort of business serving teas closes at 15.30 on a weekend in summer especially as their web site says it closes at 16.00!

A welcome 'pit stop' on a long journey from the NW to Suffolk. Very relaxing ambience, pleasant service and decent sandwich and cuppa. Highly recommended.

We had tea and cake here and it was very good, clean and home baked cakes. The staff were very friendly and helpful, in a good location in the village.

Myself, my husband & the dog popped in here one Sunday afternoon and were very satisfied with the drinks, cakes & service.

Nipped in for a coffee and slice of cake with hubby. Friendly staff and amazing coffee. Love that it’s dog friendly as well.

Truly delightful coffee - we went back twice in one morning! Lovely little cafe in a great place just off the main road. Friendly service, too.

The cafe is clean and cute. The staff seemed friendly and polite. We went here for breakfast during our stay in Baslow and was really really disappointed with the eggs.

Called in on route to Litton for a coffee. Lovely smiling waitresses and lovely coffee. Didn’t eat this time but they have a good snack menu. Also a gallery with glass products and cards.

An ideal stop off following a walk to the far end from chatsworth estate before your return walk or to simple drop in for a lovely cup of tea and a piece of cake, they also have a good option of hot or cold ood for saying it is a small cafe, well recomend always a pleasure as the staff are so friendly too.

Just had a lovely light lunch and drinks. Fantastic range of food, excellent service by very friendly staff.

Fourth visit to this lovely friendly cafe. Only 2 items on menu I wouldn’t eat so difficult decision. The oat cakes with bacon cheese & tomato were amazing today.

Geraldine and I with our dog Bella Stopped here for coffee this morning whilst on a walk ftom Chatsworth. Welcome warm, Coffee great, staff very friendly. Really recommend Cafe On The Green.

Lovely,busy little cafe. Breakfast wad really good. Friendly service too. Have been wanting to visit for a while so gald to have finally made it.

Stopped off in Baslow on a cold February Sunday and called in here for coffee and A very large flapjack.

First visit since moving to the area and won’t be the last . Just had hot drinks and a delicious lemon and coconut slice. Other food that I saw looked really good and there was a very good choice on the menu including breakfasts. Definitely recommend

About a 30-minute stroll along the river from Chatsworth, this was a short, flat and easy walk on what might easily have passed for an early Spring day, even though it was mid-February.

Called in here after a walk around the Chatsworth estate...lovely freshly made sandwiches and a lovely cup of tea...nice if basic menu but I’m certain even the fussiest of eaters could find something suitable...nice friendly staff....although I didn’t take my 2 Border Terrier dogs in this time as they were filthy the place is also dog friendly...would definitely recommend and will definitely return.

Jenny & I have been here several times before, on our own and with friends, and the coffee mid-morning this time was just as good as always, and the welcome just as friendly. This time we thenn came back later for a very late lunch after a distinctly chilly winter walk on the moors and tucked into a huge pulled pork sandwich, with colourful side salad, and a big and delicious bowl of tomato and roasted red pepper soup. The cafe doesn't stint on the bread either (fresh soft brown wholemeal - spot on) so we had plenty to eat. There were two downsides though which detracted a bit: all the radiators were cold when we came back at lunchtime, so the cafe wasn't anything like as warm and welcoming as we'd hoped, and then the towels had run out in one of the loos. The latter wasn't a major problem, but the lack of heating was a definite turn-off. Bit of a shame, and we hope the cafe will read this review and do something about that for others in the future.

This cafe looks good from the outside, promising heavenly coffee. There was a good selection of cakes and goodies (all very good sizes) plus a wide variety of sandwiches, jacket potatoes, etc

Called in on the off chance, great little place , the bacon sandwich is excellent, tasty and good soft whole meal bread. Friendly staff and good service.

Popped in for breakfast a fortnight ago. Now have to be gluten free ....but lovely lady on the counter sorted me out with a customised lovely gluten free breakfast. Thank you!!!!!

I took 3 children 2 under the age of 7. I asked for kids sandwiches they got the same as an adult sandwich but without salad. They were doorsteps!!! How you expect a little 4 year to get her teeth around that, it was ridiculous. In addition to this it would better if you didn't put dressing on salad in case anyone doesn't like it or is allergic to it as in my case I couldn't eat the salad. Very expensive for what we had.

nice food but not exceptional for the price that was charged, service seemed a little bit disorganised

Impromptu visit whilst walking into Chatsworth park that involved eating amazing cake (in particular the chocolate slice) and drinking really nice coffee. Hadn't been in for quite some years but i will be making a point of going back soon.

Called in with family for snacks, friendly staff, nice clean building situated on the green and not to busy, lovely tasty flapjacks mmmmmm

Dog friendly cafe. Good for a snack and drink. If you are nearby, walking then call in. Friendly staff.

First time me and my family have eaten here and we will definitely be back, my son is a very fussy eater so they were very kind enough to make his sausage sandwich on bread I had brought not thinking he'd eat the sausage but he loved it, the food is so fresh and tastes amazing and presented so well, fast service and staff so helpful and polite best latte my mum has ever had, I would recommend this to anyone that is coming out this way, you must try it you won't be disappointed

We were staying in Baslow and visited the Cafe on the Green before we checked in at our hotel. It had a very pleasant atmosphere and very friendly staff.

Really nice cafe that has become a regular feature when we are visiting Chatsworth or walking the Edges. Not very big, but really friendly service and good menu. Very nice BLT on proper granary bread - no processed bread used here !

Very good toasted sandwiches, full of filling and well presented.A very nice tea room and very clean

We have passed this cafe many times,it was a really warm day so we decided to visit. We had tea and a sandwich ,very fresh salad,but the filling could have been a better quality,the service was friendly

Called in on our way home from holiday, starving and looking for a good cooked English breakfast. The cafe is in an ideal spot and I would suggest great for tourists etc, however our breakfast was not that great. 1 sausage, 1 fried egg, 2 rashers of bacon, half a tomato, small portion of beans, mushrooms and a slice of black pudding ....sounds a lot but it wasnt.served on a smaller than average plate the egg yolk was 50% hard so had been cooking for a while. The sausages are quite herby, not my cup of tea but the worst thing was it arrived luke warm. I returned it to be re heated but still didn't come back piping hot. We were afforded an apology and a coffee refill, but the coffee was bitter and so declined. Another couple who also came in for breakfast returned some of their plate to be heated up and I noticed as we left that the woman had left her sausage.

We dropped in here twice for afternoon tea during our short stay in Baslow. Lovely tea and homemade cakes. We noted that there was breakfast and lunch menu available also
