Caffe Curva in Richmondshire

Visited here this week and had a fantastic lunch. Highly recommend the fish finger butty. Our dog was made to feel as welcome as we were and a bowl of fresh water and a doggy treat were brought to the table for him. Will definitely visit again. Thank you.

This is my favourite place to eat in Hawes. The salads are amazing. Staff are lovely too & make our Jack Russell very welcome .

Excellent quality food all freshly homemade and well presented at a very fair price. We both had a delightful home made quiche served with a variety of fresh salads.

Fab cafe, cosy and warm, with delicious food and smiling, friendly staff serving it. On a wet Tuesday in November it was just what we needed. We had lovely home made tomato and basil soup - a good helping - which was served with the most delicious toasted cheese scone I have ever tasted! Would highly recommend!

As always this Café is tops from every aspect. Easy access. Charming welcome. Spotlessly clean and that's before you settle down for great Coffee, cakes or more substantial food. It's so good we leave saying thanks and 100% we will be back.

We had coffee and cake here, both were excellent. We had the shortbread and the chocolate brownie. Staff were very good.

Exactly what a cafe should be. Welcoming, friendly service and perhaps the best soup we've ever had. Lousy weather outside, great hospitality and food inside. Very welcoming.

We ordered the wensleydale and ham on ligjtly toasted multichannel roll. WOW. The cheese was crumbly and tasty, the ham, which is baked on the premises just melted in my mouth. Tasty chutney and lovely side salad garnish. All good looked delicious. Will definitely return.

Wow! We’re so pleased we stopped here. We only intended having coffee and cake, but it was just after midday, we’d been up early and done a long walk (to see the red squirrels). We asked for the lunch menu anyway, there was a lot of choice and for me (fussy) ALL the things I like (sarnies and fish finger sarnies). I opted for the soup (mushroom) with toasted cheese scone and my husband went for the Yorkshire Rarebit with skinny fries. I thought they’d be nice as a light snack. The meals were huge, great portion size and therefore great value. And they were extremely yummy, the soup was in a large bowl, hot, homemade and so tasty! And it was one of the best cheese scones I’ve ever had. It’s a very popular cafe, so I think we were lucky to get a table. The service was excellent and the food came in about ten minutes. I’d definitely recommend going…..now, shall we have one of those huge slabs of cake as well…?!

Really enjoyed sandwich , lovely bread and fresh salad, with good coffee served by friendly staff.Inside and outside seating.Busy but didn't have to wait long. Cakes and scones looked delicious, next time.

I visited this cafe with my elderly parents, staff were friendly and were very good with my parents, cakes were very good and the coffee was nice. Staff were more than happy and capable of offering recommendations. The interior is a bit small, but don't let this put you off.

There’s a time and place for egg, chips and tea, pies or toasted sarnies; they’re a great British tradition and Hawes offers a lot of this staple - it’s a class thing and the expectation of the majority of visitors. Sometimes, however, it’s time for something with a little less of the school canteen fodder and Curva has it. There’s a limited menu but it’s thoughtful: quiches, salads, chilli chips with lots of cake and good coffee. Above all, it’s prepped and served by an efficient team of young women with good grace and good manners. We’re glad you’re there.

We have been into this coffee shop before. That time we had a scone and coffee. This time we decided to have lunch. My husband had the Fish Finger sandwich with salad. I had the prawn sandwich again with salad. We also ordered 2 coffees and a did of fries. Both meals were great. Plenty of filling in each. Staff very pleasant,given come to see if everything was ok. Dogs are also allowed. We had our small dog with us. We would always go to this coffee shop again

Civilised, comfortable cafe with nice service from friendly Polish waitresses. Excellent coffee and we enjoyed the cheese scones too.

Very friendly cafe with a good choice of food that is freshly made. Relaxed atmosphere and very dog and people friendly.

Delicious quiche of the day with lovely fresh salads. Great presentation, quality and value. Indoor and outdoor seating.

My walker friends were staying in b&b but I had a little apartment nearby so popped in here for breakfast before a big walk The cooker breakfast was delicious and piping hot It kept me going all day as so stuffed !

Went in for breakfast for price was expecting some top quality ingredients bacon was overcooked,sausage tastless and despite asking twice for well done eggs was served very runny so couldn't eat won't be returning.

We looked at the menu on the door and found it looked quite standard for a tearoom in a beauty spot. We usually go to another one when visiting Hawes but then looked at Trip Advisor and the reviews were amazing. On this basis we...

A brilliant meal. The salad was lovely as were the staff. They offered to box up the left overs. The cheese scone was first class and they seem to do all the baking on site

Great place to stop for a cuppa & a bite to eat. We had 2 lovely scones with jam & cream which were both lovely. Would call again if passing

Our first visit here and certainly not the last,Sharing platter with homemade bread, sausage roll, plenty of various cheeses, ham, chutneys, and dressed salad more than enough to share. Top quality produce 10/10 Dog🐶 friendly as well Thank you 👍

just what a walker needed after a long walk. pleasant staff and good value. Easy to find on main street.

Visited here by chance and what a good find. Really lovely food, generous portions, great service. The pakora salad was especially delicious, thank you!

Absolutely lovely place , staff were so super, huge thanks to them for the best breakfast we've had for years. The quality of everything was extremely high and I have nothing but praise for this cafe. Love the birthday cards too !

A friendly cafe with welcoming staff and excellent food at reasonable prices. I enjoyed a salad plate which was beginning with several types of very tasty salads. Felt very full afterwards!

My brother and I had lunch here three years ago and enjoyed their cheese scones so much that we returned again this year with his wife to have them again. They were just as good. So good that I returned a couple of days later...

Stopped for a cuppa whilst driving through the Dale's had a fantastic cheese scone and a hot chocolate. Service was very efficient and friendly. We only had a snack but others were eating lovely looking salads etc. Cakes that were displayed looked delicious

Really good coffee, cake and lunch. Very pleasant staff and dog friendly in this lovely Dales setting. What could be better?!

Fab cafe food plentiful value for money and baked/made on site... Very friendly people, dog friendly and welcoming. So good we visited 3 times on a 4 day break wish we lived closer. Thank you so much would highly recommend

Ordered scone and coffees. Asked to sit by the sofa on sore stool and chair (there was a member of staff on a laptop using part of the sofa). Everywhere else was full. Was bluntly told ‘no you can’t sit there’. I was for walking...

Stopped here for a quick lunch. Coronation chicken filled roll and a quiche with salad. Both ok, left the broad bean salad, was a bit dry. Table and chair was wobbly, but think because of stone flooring. The cafe felt a bit chilly.

Lovely full English, top quality ingredients, well cooked, very efficient friendly service. Water and treat for the dog. Brilliant.

Great staff and good food. Tables inside and outside. Delightful cakes to choose from. Very dog friendly. Will be going back for full English

Lovely sunny day, perfect for visiting Caffe Curva and sitting outside with the dog. Warm welcome from staff, dog treats for your pooch and fresh water in a bowl, Lovely homemade cake for us and Tea.

We had the soup of the day with cheese scones and it was absolutely outstanding. 10/10. They also do loads of lovely home made cakes but we didn’t want to pig out too much. We will be back!! Thank you.

I have visited this cafe many times over the years and it never disappoints. The staff here are always incredibly kind and friendly, plus the food and coffee are both consistently delicious. I would recommend a bowl of homemade soup with a scone/ sandwich and...

Called in whilst travelling back across the Dales. I had a homemade scone, and my wife had homemade soup with a chunk of homemade bread. Everything was excellent and we'll definitely call again when passing

Dropped in on spec for a hot drink. Warm welcome from staff on entry. Offered one of two available tables. Staff brought water bowl and dog biscuits for our four legged friends. Offered a menu and advised how to order. My hubby had a sausage...

Highly rated cafe in Hawes. Was looking forward to visit and cafe was fairly busy when we approached. Unfortunately at 1.45pm they were not serving food.

Our lunch here restored our faith in Yorkshire cooking. After so much over priced poor quality food, our lunch of freshly cooked pakoras, crispy sweet potato fries and crunchy spiced salad was an absolute delight. Delish!

A good selection of baked goods. I had a cheese scone and a flat white coffee. Friendly staff and tables well spaced out also outside seating, weather permitting.

We called in to Caffe Curva on 30.10.2021 whilst passing through Hawes on our way home after a short break nearby. This is a great cafe with a lovely welcome. Admittedly, we only stopped for drinks on this occasion but the menu did look very...

Called in with missus and kids 12 and 6 for a quick bite. Nice homely feel to it and the food was great especially the salads and the pakoras and plenty for the coeliac missus.to enjoy. My ham and cheese roll was excellent even though...

We were waiting for a while in the entrance area and were totally ignored. The waitress even looked us in the eye and then looked away. Another waitress just blanked us. We thought it was totally rude not to acknowledge our presence and it would...

Stopped for lunch while visiting Hawes. Friendly welcome and fabulous food. I had the quiche which was delicious and came with a selection of different salads which were all lovely. Good value for money.

So pleased we chose to eat here. Comfy, clean café and friendly welcome. Tables outside too. Plenty on the plate: most acceptable cost. Coffee excellent. Delicious homemade cakes and scones. Yummy!

Stopped in here for afternoon tea, had lovely, huge scones with jam and cream, and a nice brew too. Good service all round

Stopped by for lunch. Nice staff however we did not enjoy our sarnies. The cheese lacked flavour however was overtaken by the far too fruity pickle. The mushroom topping was bland and too saucy. Therefore far too overpriced.

Despite having some problems with their electricity supply which limited cooking facilities we had a delicious brunch and great coffees . The sausage roll and bacon/egg roll were really lovely. We had greedily eyed up some delicious-looking fruit scones but were too full to indulge on this occasion!

Had a lovely lunch here, fab and varied salad, very good coffee.The team were working very hard, Please help them by following their request to wear a mask, wait outside until a table is cleared, don't crowd them whilst they are trying to serve others. Don't move furniture or take chairs from other tables, don't stand over other diners whilst you wait, don't ask to share a table!! Great food, worth the wait, be patient and courteous to staff and other diners please.

Delightful discovery of this unassuming cafe today. Simple yet delicious menu. The 'fish finger' butty delighted my son when he saw the mini feast set before him . All our sandwiches more than sated our hunger. Highly recommend for a quick family lunch.

We discovered this place after a long walk with the dogs. Staff were friendly and so helpful. Brought my dogs water and treats which was great but then the food arrived....Oh my word!!! I had ordered quiche and received the most delicious I have ever had, accompanied by a selection of 6 different salads. Looked beautiful on the plate and tasted just as good. Was way above and beyond the usual offering of a bit of green salad, coleslaw and some crisps! Wensleydale, tomato and olive, orzo and roasted veg, beetroot, green salad with pink onions, homemade coleslaw and fennel, carrot and mint. Couldn't resist a huge chunk of chocolate tiffin with caramel base with lovely coffee for afters. Best value for money meal I've had in a long time and service with a smile on a mad busy bank holiday weekend. Hats off Caffe Curva, I will be back!

Tasty, accommodating and affordable. Tasty soups and salads. Great selection of cakes. Humongous fish goujon sandwich for the kids to share.

There’s so much awful coffee served in the uk - in the big chains and clueless small independents - that it was a real surprise and pleasure to drink an espresso and machiato here. Top quality, as good as you’ll find anywhere in Italy.

A lovely little cafe in the heart of hawes .I had the most amazing homemade tomato soup with homemade freshly baked bread ,and my husband had an open prawn sandwich which was equally as good .the staff we saw were really friendly and on complimenting them on the soup ,I was even given instructions on how to make it mysef. Definitely well worth a visit

Visited today for lunch and it was really good! The food was lovely and e portions very generous with really tasty side salads. The staff were really friendly and good prices

Lovely place, been here for coffee and cake before. The food on this visit is more on the expensive side but it is Hawes. Sandwiches lovely presented but the mature cheddar was quite bland and I could only taste chutney, the quiche looked fantastically prepared but had hidden chutney in the base which was not expected and not over impressed sorry! Staff were pleasant and very busy as you have to take a seat then go to the counter order and pay which can be quite congested around the till area, with takeaway customers and people already seated via the one way system, which is not brilliant with the current social distancing.

Decided to have a day out in Hawes today and found Caffe Curva with seating outside. As soon as we went to sit down someone came at us with a menu Not much to choose from we both decided on a "open toasted sandwich". Hubby had Mature Cheddar and I opted for the Tuna & sweetcorn both with melted cheddar. If the sandwiches HAD been toasted then they need a new toaster and if the cheese was mature then I wouldn't like to try a non mature it was tasteless.. No fries left at about 12.30 which is lunchtime and the only soup available was celery??? At almost £18 for 2 sandwiches and 1 pot of tea for 2 iis definitely not worth the money. Won't go back as I don't like being ripped off and I certainly feel we were today.

Just want to say many thanks for a lovely lunch and safe visit. The food was fabulous best cheese scone I’ve had for a very long time. Hubby loved his melted cheese open sandwich, he ate all of the salad which was homemade and dressings were superb. The staff were very friendly and efficient with thorough cleaning between customers. We will definitely be back when we next visit Hawes.

Used this coffee house a few times whilst in Hawes. good quality food and coffee. pleasant atmoshere.

Spotted a table for 2 outside and decided to have a coffee and cake. The service was good and were seated outside, a bit chilly, COVID times. The cakes were really nice but not the coffee, not quite to my taste, perhaps prefer stronger coffee but a bit weak to be honest. Again the cakes are great and the food that was served to other tables looked good.

We've stopped here a couple of times to break up long journeys. Lovely food, always enjoyable. Friendly staff.

Dropped in for coffee and cakes. Clean and welcoming and very enjoyable. Allowed our small dog in. Tables well spaced so felt secure

Food was excellent. Disappointed to be told twice that we couldn’t sit at the table we wanted, 1st - staff were reserving themselves a table to safely have lunch, at 10:45am!! 2nd - was told not to sit at bigger table in the window, just in case a family needed the table. This was from young staff members.

almost feeling harsh gving 3 stars as the cakes and coffee were great but the room was so cold we couldnt take our jackets off. not what u want after walking all day eing cold.i did go close the door thinking someone had left it open but teh lady said they have to keep it open for covid. im sorry but i'd just left the new inn where the fire was roaring and i sat in my t-shirt!im unsure if this is the owners interpatation of the rules or an over zealous PHE recommendation, my advice would be to re-visit it.the distaicing was covid secure and the place is big enough. i hope they do as the food and service was great.

Good to find an independent cafe that serves such top quality food. They have adapted well to the Covid crisis and offer their customers a secure environment to enjoy their delicious food. We had two large bowls of delicious cream of onion soup with a cheese scone and home baked bread. Service was cheerful and polite and they deserve to survive this crisis. Do support them if you are visiting Hawes.

Visited late in the afternoon for tea and scones. Made the mistake of ordering one scone each for my wife and I with butter, jam and cream. They are very healthy in size if not in calories!! Staff were very friendly and helpful and the cafe is covid compliant.Nice touch is that the 'A Board' thanked customers for supporting their 'Small Local Business' With the quality on offer I recommend

A lovely spot on the Main Street. Popular. Nice selection of cakes and light bites such as soup if the day and a roll. Very Covid secure. Nice seating area out front. Friendly and chatty staff. Very nice. Good selection of specialty teas.

The cafe was a welcome respite from the cold and wind and it did not disappoint! The staff were very friendly and had a very clear system in place regarding track and trace. Three of us had soup with a cheese scone and the scones were out of this world - by far the nicest cheese scone I’ve ever had (and I’ve tried a few!). My partner had the quiche and said it was delicious, and the selection of salads that accompanied it were both tasty and very generous. If you’re in Hawes after a long walk (or weary from shopping), then I would highly recommend popping in here.

Really enjoyed a visit here 2 years ago, and on this return visit we found everything to be spot on.The Covid precautions are everything they should be, which is a real positive start.We really feel for staff in these Covid times and are always impressed by businesses that have adapted well to stay trading safely.We sat outside as they were doing a brisk trade inside and with a few takeaway orders also.Service was friendly, brisk and efficient with our hot food arriving 30 seconds before our hot drinks, just as we like it.We had forgotten how good the sausage roll (large slice, with just the right filling/ pastry ratio) was, with a first class salad and fabulous home made (by somebody) piccalilli. Deserving of its top spot on Trip Advisor.

Walked into Hawes for breakfast. Not disappointed. A proper pot of tea served piping hot. Excellent breakfast. Dog friendly. Definitely worth going back to.

Had a lovely coffee and cake stop at this cafe on the main drag ... friendly service and great prices ... even took a piece of chocolate slab home for later

Following a recommendation from a local shop, we went to Caffe Curva for a late lunch today. Had the fish finger butty and the quiche with salads. Really impressed with the speed of service, quality of the food, the way it looked and the portion sizes were really generous. Such good value. Had a scone and butter in the cafe and a slice of coffee cake to takeaway. Both very nice. Best coffee cake I've had in ages. Wish I'd bought more! Plenty of choice on the menu. Considering I don't like sweetcorn, the curried sweetcorn salad with the quiche was delicious. In these Covid times, everything was very clean and welcoming. Thank-you.

Excellent place to grab a substantial sandwich and side salad each, as we did, before setting off on a brisk afternoon walk along a section of the Dales Way south of Hawes. Really popular, friendly, and in a fine old building on the main street which has been turned into a really nice cafe with a couple of comfy old leather sofas as well as the tables and chairs. One downside was that the cafe has taken Covid security really seriously and all the windows and doors were wide open: minimal infection risk but cosy it’s not. A good find nonetheless and good-sized and good value portions.

Stopped here after visiting tan hill in and its a lovely little coffee shop. We were still full from breakfast but fancied a coffee,I had a nice cappuccino and my wife nikki had a soft drink. Both were very nice. Food looked amazing but we were too full.Freindly staff who wore full face masks. Worth a visit if you're in the area

Best soup I've ever had! Amazing value and also came with a scone. Husband had a loaded salad, which looked devine. Vast selection of cakes. Very, very reasonably priced. Quick turnaround and friendly service. Wish I could have gone more than once!

We ate breakfast here. The menu might not look extensive for veggies but they made us something that wasn't on the menu and it was perfect.Not the warmest of places when we went in September and we sat and ate with our coats and hats on. It's a nice place though so I'd still recommend it.COVID-secure.

Lovely fresh cakes and scones. tasty latte..Friendly staff. vigorously conforming to Covid routine. Will definitely visit again.

Gorgeous homemade goodies and a really nice coffee We had homemade cheese scones..huge and fluffy Followed by the ridiculously chocolatey scrumptious tiffin .. trust me there are not enough superlatives to describe this 😊 Stop off you will not be disappointed!!

Planned to stop in Sedbergh for coffee and food but after 20 miles of energy sapping headwind we opted to stop earlier and pulled up in Hawes. I’m very glad we did. The cafe was clean and tidy and there was a calm and friendly atmosphere. Covid policies were clearly being practiced making us feel both safe and welcome.Staff took our order and our food was delivered without much delay, only a sausage barm and a bacon and egg barm but I have to say it was absolutely delicious! Generous portion and cooked to perfection. Big thumbs up to the staff there too who were extremely friendly and professional. Thanks you.

Amazing little lunch, it made our day! The lady in the kitchen obviously takes a lot of pride in her cooking. Simple lunches done very very well. The rest of the staff were lovely too. Lots of plentiful good quality ingredients and the homemade soup was the best! Will absolutely be back here, thank you

We arrived at Caffe Curva just after 11am and after being slightly disappointed we had missed brunch, decided to have an early lunch (we had just walked 12km!)We went for the fish finger sandwich, the mixed salad bowl (these are fresh and change daily) and shared some sweet potato fries. WOW. What can I say! Absolutely delicious, fresh and comforting food with extremely generous portions. A great change up from pub food.The coffee was also good and the cakes looked epic, but unfortunately we couldn’t fit one in! Will 100% be returning on our next trip to Hawes. (My only ask would be if Caffe Curva could put a menu up online so we could’ve seen in advance when brunch ended!)
