Chambers Coffee House in Richmondshire

Best Coffe House in Yorkshire..very friendly..cakes and scones delicious

I had the best bacon roll this morning yummy 😋

A quick pause before a business appointment. Great pot of tea, wonderful friendly service, the menu looked great. Leyburn is very picturesque.

Had a quick trip into the village and came across this cosy coffee shop, we arrived just before closing time and they happily made us some lunch without any fuss, excellent service and the food was top quality!

Nice food and coffee... Nothing more to say

What a find. Friendly staff, lovely food and very reasonably priced. There aren't many tables, so you may have to wait, but it's worth it.

Very friendly and helpful service with good-sized portions, reasonably priced. Only small so may be hard to get a table at busy times. Recommended.

Walked in as a family of four and started to make our way to an empty table and told that table was for three only not four! We ended up walking back out absolutely shocked at their attitude. Table was clearly big enough for four and we have sat in many other similar sized establishments as a four on similar if not smaller tables. We went elsewhere where we were made to feel very welcome and ironically sat at a smaller table.

Called at Leyburn en route to the Forbidden Corner, we ere staying not far away and coincidentally parked right next to this place. We happily stopped in, few tables spare, all two seaters, with one couple having just walked in and sat at a table for 4, which had only two seats set. We asked for a table for three (2 adults and a 5 year old), and the lady behind the counter (owner?), just said they had nothing. The couple on the 4 said they would happily move to a two so we could have the bigger table, and the woman behind the counter just said no we’re not doing that… Now, don’t get me wrong, there might be a reason, health and safety, short of staff to manage covers, whatever, but at least be apologetic and pleasant, maybe offer a reason… the woman was downright rude, the couple who had offered their table up looked embarrassed, clearly didn’t want to stay but were committed… looked like nice food, clean tidy place, but we went to a competitor up the road and the family who ran it were amazing, glad i gave our money to a lovely family run place.

Excellent value for money and friendly staff but a small niggle re. Coffee. They don't serve a flat white as you would get in any other coffee shop and when I queried this they explained the coffee options and I had a lovely latte with 2 shots of espresso. There is a flat white on the menu but the description is not what I serve in the coffee shop where I work - where the menu was curated by a Cumbrian coffee company. I also saw the American described was actually a long black, but again a small niggle that only really matters to coffee snobs. Not an issue but just to be aware of when ordering. The panini was good, with a huge salad, some coleslaw and crisps which for £6.50 is incredible value for money and as such I will be going back to chambers, but in the knowledge that their coffee menu is a bit different. Didn't have a pudding as I was full but the scone looked lovely. In the end I was a bit peeved I didn't have any cash to tip as my total bill was £11 for a large coffee, panini and a can of nice pop - and I overheard another customer asking if they'd undercharged them too. Owner could definitely put prices up if they wanted to, the quality is great.

Fabulous coffee house. Visited on Wednesday 27th of September. Very polite staff and couldn’t do too much. X

Lovely tearoom just off the marketplace. Huge scones and nice selection of cakes. Friendly service and great prices. Good to take the weight off your feet and chill out. There's outdoor seating too when it's warm enough, or if you have muddy boots. Great scones with jam and cream 😀

Well we were recommended here by someone who said the food and scones were good BUT sadly we never got our party of 4 to sit down, we were told we could sit as 2 sets of 2 even though there was a table for 4 not used with menus on As a Yorkshire man proud of our hospitality here I would say the chambers coffee house did not live up to their proud Yorkshire welcome we usually show here in our county When asked why it was just an unfriendly that’s the way it is and we are only small so said Ruth the rather unfriendly owner Shame on you Ruth However the coffee shop at the other side of the square was awesome friendly and even tables of four made to feel welcome I suppose even Nora Batty in Yorkshire was part of our heritage but a strange role model for customer welcome 😀😂

I've had alot of cooked breakfasts in cafes over the years. This has been one of the best I've eaten. Highly recommend.

No photos because ate so fast. But had a full English breakfast. Cooked to perfection lovely and hot. Friendly staff and pleasant environment. Highly recommended 5*

Excellent little cafe - delicious food & tasty drinks - very reasonably priced - highly recommend a visit 👍👍

Never been in previously, but called in for a late lunch during a motorbike ride. Staff were clearly busy, but got me seated and took my order quickly. The coffee was ok, certainly not unpleasant, but not the strong coffee I like. The food, however, was amazing! I ordered the sausage and blue cheese baguette with chutney, and it was a triumph. Three sausages and lots of a very good creamy blue cheese...delicious. And the chutney was also delicious too. So, probably wouldn't go back for the coffee alone, but the food menu is certainly worth a visit. Well done to all at Chambers.

Very nice tea and tea cakes good value for money great friendly staff nothing was to much trouble amazing place amazing staff loved it and would come again if coming to the area thanks

We had a rather large 'bowl' of minestrone soup, which could have been a bit hotter. Served with toasted bread flutes and butter. Coffee I found a little bitter for my taste.

12.30 pm 16th August. Can’t say for certain about the fare on offer as I never got that far. The day was warm, the inside was busy so I asked if I could put up one of the folding tables already outside for us to sit at. (There we’re at least 2 small folding tables and a stack of chairs already outside). There were also another 3 tables already in use with plenty of room for at least three more. My request was denied despite my stating that I would put the table up and get the chairs. Not sure why this was so but I spent my £50 in the Bolton Arms instead so they lost out. Perhaps not the best business model!

We are visiting our friends in England, and they recommended Chambers for coffee and a scone. It was very good. The breakfast was a lot of food! The beans are tomato based, not too sweet, and very good on toast. The sausage and the bacon were delicious! We got a fruit scone which was raisin. It was very good too (and very large). Next time I want to try the cheese scone. 😋 Coffee was really good too! A nice stop before hiking around the dales!

Popped in today after house hunting in the area had a warm welcome service was great food good and coffees lovely we will be back Thank you

Had a coffee here which was lovely excellent service

What a beautiful quaint coffee shop and cafe in the heart of the Leyburn market place. Indoor and outdoor seating with a rustic feel. Fabulous fresh food, cakes, coffee and teas. Friendly staff, very popular place to visit, for a light snack or tasty meal. Very reasonable price, would throughly recommend. Friday is market day do chill have a coffee and cake, catch up with friends and look around the market.

Lovely place for a drink and scone.

We called in for elevenses. We both had flat white coffees and toasted cranberry teacakes. The coffees were fine and the teacakes delicious. Friendly staff.

Ruth & her team served us the most delicious homemade chicken & vegetable soup, freshly made sandwiches, tasty cherry & rhubarb cake & Earl Grey tea. Dogs are very welcome in the outdoor seating area.

If you want a great snack and a cuppa in a beautiful village look no further than chambers coffee house. Smashing service and great service. Soup and sandwich is brilliant value. Constantly full so pick your time. Smashing choice of cakes and savouries. Very clean.

A pleasure to visit, with nice seating, good drinks and snacks, and a great location.

Good food at a good price, BUT......the atmosphere is odd. Locals seem very welcome, non locals dont. Staff were very quick to turn non locals away when they were full, but locals were accommodated. One staff member had her break at one of the tables, 3 sets of customers were turned away!! Madness!

Reviews are mostly great, so perhaps the staff just took a dislike to us. We were up visiting from the South-East and have never been made to feel so uncomfortable. And they say Londoners are rude (they really aren't!)

Good all round recommend anybody to go

1st time in the cafe but its 1st class staff very helpful and friendly.

Such a lovely cafe, it’s a rare thing to get good coffee, food, surroundings & lovely staff in the same place ! Well worth a visit 😊

Popped in at lunchtime and managed to bag a table for all 4 of us. Staff were very attentive and friendly and the coffee is lovely. I went for the Sausage and Stilton Baguette - what a joy! Friends went for Bacon Baguette and Bacon Sandwich (obvs the baguette was bigger) and they were very happy with their choices too. This really is a great little independent cafe which knocks spots off the big chains when it comes to proper food and the next time I am in these parts I will return. Well done.

Lovely little coffee shop with excellent food at reasonable prices and friendly, helpful staff. Highly recommended.

Very tiny cafe, so you can't guarantee a table. But if you do get one, the food is delicious and well priced.

I popped in to this coffee house today and was immediately struck by the welcoming and friendly atmosphere. It's only small but luckily there was a table free. The tomato and basil soup came in what looked like a small casserole dish with lid, as well as a delicious toasted roll. Very generous portions. Will definitely be back.

Very small and very friendly the paninis and coffee were delicious the cakes also looked amazing but were too full !!! thank you ladies

Nice local cafecwith good coffee, and lunches are huge. Gets busy and sometimes have to queue.

The food is excellent, very warm and welcoming staff. An all round lovely little cafe. I’ll definitely be back again.

Although this cafe sells good food and coffee, the service has deteriorated to the point where my cycling group will no longer use it. Today we were a group of four and were told to sit a two seperate tables for two. We were not allowed to bring two chairs up to create a table for four despite the cafe being virtually empty. If a cafe is unable to cope with a group of four then in my view it has lost the plot. We left before ordering.

Excellent quality of food, very friendly staff, great service and value for money. Enjoyed pea and ham soup with a sandwich. It was the best soup I've tasted in over 45 years, took me right back to my childhood. Large portion sizes and plenty of filling in the sandwich. I will definately be returning to sample more of their menu.

1st time here and what a wonderful experience it was. A very warm friendly welcome followed by the most incredible scones. Both the cheese scone with onion marmalade and cheese and the fruit scone with jam and cream were divine. Thankyou. Hope to return very soon

Lovely service all very friendly and we were very impressed with Rubén’s service! We had amazing tea/ coffee and scones were amazing! Worth a visit. Thank you

Very friendly staff. Great coffee.

Since moving to the area we have been seeking good coffee houses. We certainly found one with this place. Staff are lovely and so is the food. Running a reduced menu at the moment because of staff issues. This is a good thing because it means that the staff concentrate in really good service. The only problem is that the cafe is too small and you have to be really lucky to get a table. It is that good!!

Excellent service and food, would recommend.

Great little cafe in the centre of Leyburn, lovely friendly staff.

Just been here this morning whilst visiting Leyburn. Lovely little place - nice coffee and a good selection of nice cakes, very well presented with fresh fruit. Fab!

Went for coffee and cake and found the staff very pleasant and the food very good and reasonably priced.

Called into Chambers again today for our second visit to the cafe. We had the full English breakfast and full it was. Quality was amazing and the service as good as ever. Staff so friendly and helpful. Beware if you order the breakfast, you need...

We were going to be in the area, and Chambers came recommended in a review. We took a chance and came here for lunch and we weren't disappointed. It was a bank holiday and they were very busy, but we found a table, and the waitress took our order. There was a bit of a wait for the food but it was well worth while. The portions were more than big enough and very tasty. Price wise it was more than reasonable. All in all easily lived up to its recommendation.

Stopped off for a drink and cake nice friendly lady's good menu and the meal's being served looked delicious will call again

Really friendly staff good coffee and delicious sausage sandwich lots of other nice things to eat , well worth a visit . Very clean . I will be going again

Whilst passing through Leyburn we popped into this lovely cafe for a cup of tea & one of the famous scones, we were not disappointed. A lovely pot of Yorkshire Tea & large Cream/Jam Scone comes highly recommended in lovely surroundings with extremely helpful &...

Excellent friendly clean service. The food was outstanding especially for the price. I would highly recommend

Stopped by for lunch for 3 - generous portions and very reasonably priced. No room for puddings, sadly!

Busy little cafe with outdoor seating. Good choice of food etc. Staff friendly and welcoming . Toilet available. We went on the hottest day of the year and it was welcome respite from the sun.

Love it we come everytime we come to Leyburn, great staff and lovely food, superb place very clean

We are regular visitors to Leyburn as our caravan is down the road in Constable Burton, but we rarely take the time to sit and enjoy cafe's there. We visited Chambers last Thursday and managed to get a table out front on the square in...

What a wonderful place. We were recommended to visit by a lady we bumped into on a walk. She said about the coffee but she didn’t tell us how good the food is or how it’s such good value for money. We had done a...

Thank you Chambers. We visit Leyburn regularly and try to spread our custom around the numerous cafes in the village square. Yesterday we were going to Kim's (for only the 2nd time) but were unceremoniously told our custom was not wanted. We came to you,...

Very friendly staff.... Cheese scones were nice...

Lovely breakfast, friendly staff

The scones with Wensleydale cheese and home-made pickle are to die for. The soup and a bacon butty package is a bargain at £6; a big bowl of soup and a huge brown roll with 4 lovely rashers of bacon. Yum! The coffee is good...

Super lunch stop. Convenient for the town, excellent soup kept piping hot in cast iron lidded bowls, with lashings of bread and plenty of butter - no skimping here! Friendly, helpful and responsive service.

Nice food, great friendly staff, good value! Recommended

This coffee shop is perfect. The staff are all very friendly and exceptionally helpful. I have difficulty getting in because of my big wheelchair. But they always make room for me. I try not to go at really use times. They really are exceptional

We called in Leyburn having been unable to find a parking space in Richmond. It was a very happy accident. Parking in the square is not charged (voluntary contributions are invited). Chambers Coffee House in the Square was a welcome stop. Home made scones and...

Visited on Tuesday and had lovely jacket potatoes, lots of lovely fillings and very reasonable prices. Great service with wonderful food. Always worth the visit. Best cafe in leyburn.

Great lunch , lots to choose from and very friendly staff ! Worth a visit :) Definitely worth a visit

Friendly staff but sadly a very limited menu - nothing to offer vegetarians, vegans or people with intolerances.

Excellent service and tasty food.

Quality of food exceptional Price extremely competitive Staff, all aspects exceptional

Lovely coffee shop in Leyburn serving delicious homemade sandwiches, giant scones and cake. The staff here are incredibly welcoming and kind too. Would definitely recommend.

Fabulous coffee and delicious coffee cake! We got to Leyburn a little late and had just 15 mins before the cafe shop closed, but even though we walked in late, we were warmly greeted. We had coffee and shared the last piece of coffee cake on the counter. The cake was beautifully presented and tasted just as good. I loved this coffee shop and would highly recommend if you are visiting Leyburn.

Lovely welcoming coffee shop with a really lovely community feel. Best coffee we had in the area, and fantastic cake. Thanks, will be back if we're back in the area!

Greeted with a friendly smile, great value for money. Hat toasted teacakes and coffee, very tasty and even fresh flowers on tables. Would recommend.

Great bacon roll and scone with jam and cream. Friendly staff offering good service.

Excellent bacon baguette very friendly and good service would definitely recommend

We travel for an hour to drink the coffee and food here. The coffee is the best for Miles. Scones are that big we share them and all home made. Whoever writes these bad reviews need to activate their voice and say excuse me to...

We arrived in Leyburn around 14:15 on a lovely warm day looking for somewhere for Lunch. Seeing a table outside this establishment we asked the waitress if they were still serving and she said yes and brought us some menus and said that she would...

Lovely cafe with a great selection of food. We stopped for drinks and cake and were given a friendly welcome and service. Plenty of outdoor seating with a view of the town. Cakes were delicious and the lunches served were large portions.

Staff incredibly rude and unwelcoming. Made to feel really uncomfortable. Cheese scone hard , toasted teacake overdone. Would definately not recommend a visit to anyone.

Very rude cafe owner every time we'v tried to get a table. She's so unaccomadating and we will not be trying there again!

It was a treat to have coffee and cake at this lovely cafe. Delicious apple and walnut cake and such reasonable costs.

The breakfast was awful, bacon had been precooked and kept hot so it was like leather, sausages were the cheapest bread meal type tasted like cardboard. It really wasn’t a nice breakfast at all and we were the only customers bar one yet it took...

I’m a local to this place and finally managed to find an empty table outside this morning👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. I’ve missed North Yorkshire’s best giant scones😋😋😋😋.

Best coffee shop in leyburn. friendly staff, also COVID secure. Great bacon sandwiches, lovely jackets and amazing tray bakes. Can’t wait to return, fresh food, good service and great prices, a hidden gem in the Yorkshire dales.

Lovely food, friendly atmosphere. Will be back.

Great coffee shop. Great fruit cake and Wensleydale cheese beautifully presented. Staff always very friendly and food amazing.
