Crema Coffee Shop in Ryedale

My wife, son and I stopped by for a coffee and a scone. The scones were top drawer. The staff were very polite, service was good.

Spent the afternoon at Duncombe Park and found cafe shut when we were ready for our afternoon coffee. Common problem in UK. What are tourists supposed to do after attractions close and before dinner? No wonder Costa and Starbucks are so popular.

Situated just off the market square, near the book shop, this lovely little coffee ☕️ shop serves a great double espresso, accompanied by water (without asking!). Now, that's how to serve an espresso 🥛☕️ 👌 #ThankYou

This looked like a lovely little cafe so we decided to try it for some lunch. Upon entering we were shown to a table and the waitress soon came to take our order. The tea and hot chocolate arrived quickly and then we sat and waited and waited some more for our food. The couple on the next table who ordered just before us asked where their food was and we heard the woman in the kitchen shouting. A waitress came out and said there had been a mix up but their food was being prepared now. As it was now 40 minutes since our drinks arrived we decided we could not wait any longer for our panini and jacket. We went to the till and told the girl that we only wanted to pay for the drinks as we had been waiting too long for the food. The girl just said “ok”, with no apology whatsoever. I actually had to ask her what the issue was with the food which she then admitted she had not put the ticket in. They might have just been having an off day, but this was really dreadful customer service and we will not be back.

Nice welcome on entering, shown to a corner table for two. Immediately decided to find another table due to extremely loud lady on next table . Ordered two Coffee's, One Fruit Scone and One Carrot Cake. Coffee was fine, Carrot Cake was stale, very low quality and a "Blind Tasting" would not identified as Carrot Cake. Fruit Scone was on the Small side, served with Jam and Cream but no Butter ?. Total bill of over £14 would have been just bearable if the Quality had been a lot higher. Very disappointed.

We came here today with family, and our 3 small dogs, as it is a dog friendly place. Two of our dogs are nervous, and are much happier on laps. Both dogs are harmless. We were told to put the dogs on the floor due to hygiene reasons. But in a matter of fact manor. Secondly I ordered a chocolate milkshake, but it was more like a very sweet caramel milkshake. Not sure what went wrong! I did return it back, for it to sent back out to me with more caramel added and even more sweeter, without a hint of chocolate colour. We also ordered several brie, bacon and cranberry panini’s, and was promised crispy bacon. We were served soggy panini’s and the bacon was not crispy. Overpriced for what we received, and generally staff we not overly friendly. Unsatisfied experience 😔

After checking trip advisor, called in for cake and coffee after a hill walk. Service prompt, polite. 4 good cakes eaten. Scone was good - squirty whipped cream (as ordered) let it down. I'd rather pay for clotted cream - but that's my choice. Nice cosy cafe.

Friendly girls taking orders but unfortunately we weren't impressed. The baked potatoes were frozen ones no different to a mccain one and the Greek salad was awful..the cheese tasted off and the salad was dry and needed dressing on it . Certainly not worth the price , .try the Sandwick shop next door..much better value.

Visited for lunch. As a coeliac who is lactose intolerant I never get cake but today I had a magnificent choc orange gluten free dairy free cake that not only tasted amazing but absolutely made my day. The strawberry & banana smoothie that I had with it was also great. Fantastic place for anyone with an allergy looking for a treat. Staff were also great and humoured me for my child like joy at getting cake for a change - big thank you to them 😊

Lovely cafe. First rate, nice staff, serving, to us, coffee, hot chocolate and wonderful cake. We will be back!!!!

Called in on way back to Liverpool from Stainsacre. Only been once before but was so impressed tried again. Friendly staff as before and the warm scones with jam and butter were possibly the best ever bought Well done all

Whilst driving around and admiring the scenery, we stopped in Helmsley. What a beautiful little town. I loved it...needed some sustenance, so we called in at Crema Coffee House for a quick pit-stop. I just had a cold drink but the other half had a pot of tea and a slice of Victoria Sponge. Both looked lovely and were reasonably priced. It was a very warm day so we sat in the small courtyard garden at the back of the shop. Would recommend...great little place.

Quite busy on market day very popular cafe. lovely breakfast and coffee Dog friendly inside and out very friendly staff

Looked inviting, it was raining so we ventured in and ordered. Falafel salad came without hummus and a tiny side of couscous was ice-cold. Straight from the fridge. They charged an extra pound for one pitta, which should really have been part of a £9 dish. My two companions ordered paninis and the restaurant couldn’t be bothered to cook some potato chips to serve with this. Instead they laid out a few cheap crisps from a bag. For this delight they charged £8. Overpriced for lazy, mediocre food.

Lovely little cafe with courtyard at rear where dogs are welcome. Central to town overlooking stream / beck but felt quiet. Just coffees and cake ( including gluten-free ) but tasty and would return.

Lovely friendly staff and welcoming dogs , we had a lovely meal and milk shakes. We sat outside in the small courtyard. We will return next time in the area.

Lovely Coffee and even lovelier, friendly, welcoming staff Being allowed to bring dogs in is so welcome Will definitely return again on my next visit to Helmsley whilst wife visits bookshop Thanks Guys - Appreciated

Delightful coffee shop. Very tasty cappuccino and the coffee and walnut cake was wonderful. Excellent friendly staff. Highly recommended.

it’s a really nice place , the drinks were amazing and the staff was really kind! The prices we’re decent and I would 100% recommend going :)

Lovely little café with great food and friendly staff. Everything is fresh and tasty and the staff are very friendly. Can get busy at times but that proves how popular it is.

Very cosy place to have a coffee and cake, but also lots of other lunch choices on the menu and very fresh

My friend and I were travelling to Bridlington from West Yorkshire. We decided to break the journey in Helmsley and found the Crema Coffee House which looked nice. We sat down and ordered. My phone was nearly out of charge as we were using it...

First visit here and will be going again. Coffee and scones were gorgeous. Lovely staff too.friendly and helpful.

We had actually sat outside a cafe around the corner originally but were completely ignored by 3 staff who were busy chatting to each other so we got up and left and walked in here. We were welcomed by the waitress and seated and then...

No criticism of the staff, rather of the management and or owner. I do not wish to know, think that I should know, or *need* to know whether members of the staff are vaccinated or not. What is the dishwasher, working alone in the kitchen,...

We called here yesterday morning. Our usual cafe was closed for some reason so we thought this looked ok. I ordered a latte and scone with jam and cream and my other half had a tea and toasted tea cake. I was a bit taken...

We called here for a light lunch wishing to sit outside. Shown straight to a table with menus. Waitress soon back to take order. Drinks arrived quickly followed by toasted teacakes with butter you could spread. Teacakes where delicious one of the best I have...

I love Helmsley and I think this coffee shop is one of the best in the town, so every time we visit we stop off here for a coffee and a bite to eat. Today we went in and were greeted by a young lady...

The cafe makes a good impression visually , everything looks bright and clean . The Covid precautions were excellent and the coffee and scones very good . A good place to stop for snacks , or more , if you are passing through Helmsley .

Great little cafe with choices of soup, toasties, paninis or jacked potatoes, including wide gluten free choices for coeliac person. I called in the morning and they prepared a big table for 2 households, ready for when we arrived.

Stopped here this afternoon and had a lovely coffee, mince pie and cake. The lady was very quick and very helpful.

Called with parents for drinks & snacks, lattes all round, 3 bacon butties & a soup, not too challenging, lattes arrived & were nice but could’ve been a bit hotter, the butties turned up & we asked for sauce, by the time it arrived most...

Excellent gluten free menu. Called in the off chance for afternoon drinks. They have COVID-19 systems that are operated very well. Thanks.

Called in for coffee and scones which were lovely. Negatives: On arriving we got sent upstairs which wasn't a problem, the room was completely empty so we choose the seat next to the window. When the young waitress came to take our order she told...

We visited twice in a week. Once for drinks and cake and once for a light lunch. Downstairs the Covid preparation is really good and that is five stars. The second time we went they sent us upstairs which is not ventilated and doesn't appear to be as Covid secure which is strange. The drinks we got were ok. My son got the wrong drink and the mocha was ok but not the best. The second time we went it said they did gluten free pitta bread but they didn't have it available. They didn't have brie and so none of us had our first choice. The toastie wasn't toasted well but tbf the filling was very generous. My son got his first choice drink the second time and said the milkshake was delicious. Overall it is a nice place but I'm not blown away. I think with a few tweaks it could be better.

I had coronation chicken salad. They offered good gluten-free variations which I was appreciative of. Toffee fudge cake was delightful!!

Very well organised and prepared for social distancing and health and safety precautions post Covid. Very polite service and a delicious panini and toastie. All set up for the government discount of 50%. Very impressed.

The staff were lacking any real manner and sense of welcome. We wont be coming back. The place looked like a lovely cosy cafe to grab something to eat after a long walk, but we couldn't wait to get out of there. Despite being the first couple to be seated downstairs, we were immediately forgotten when a pair of young gentlemen were sat on the table next to us. Their orders were taken first, and we waited another 10 minutes before anyone approached us. When they did, we were left feeling unwanted to say the least. This place has a great deal of potential. They just need the staff to back them up. Very poor indeed... also, the coffee is average.

Not fully open, but offered gluten free cake which was amazing. Not to sweet thankfully. The hot chocolate was very smooth and lovely. Thank you.

We called quite early on Sunday morning as it suddenly started raining and we needed to shelter. Place was empty. Ordered a flat white, which was good, and a hot chocolate. The latter looked Ok but Mrs W said it was tasteless in terms of chocolate flavour and I did try some and had to agree. Total bill just short of £6 which seemed fair.Food menu and cakes looked good but we did not partake.

We were in the area and decided to pop in for a lite bite at lunch time, very welcoming and friendly staff. Good menu to choose from and very reasonable prices, also toilet facilities very clean with baby changing if needed. More seats available up stairs. little gem.

Called in as the sign outside said they were dog friendly and we were with our dog after a walk in the area. We were told by a waitress a table would be free in about 5 minutes but who a few moments later suggested we might like to wait outside. It was cold outside, probably as cold as the welcome inside, so we decided to find somewhere a little more friendly. Not impressed with the customer service here!!

My husband and myself visited this morning. Friendly fast service. Charlie professional and polite. Reasonable prices Gorgeous cakes. Caters for all dietary needs. Toilet facilities. Warming facilities for baby bottles. Dog friendly. Enjoyed our visit 😀.

Welcomed with our dog by friendly staff.Very cold outside but cafe nice and warm. Coffee good tea cake was ok. My wife had turkey and veg soup which she said was tasteless. Toilets incredibly clean. All in all a nice cafeWould I return?.... yes

Myself and family regularly eat here. The food is very good (especially the cakes) the staff polite and helpful.There is a short wait before receiving your order,this is because the food is freshly prepared though well worth the wait. My wife and myself often visit with my daughter and baby grandson. Hot water for his bottle is not a problem and a table with plenty of space for a pram and baby paraphernalia is provided. There is also baby changing facilities in one of the toilets upstairs. A loyalty card is available

This was a great little cafe which initially looked quite small but there were lots of tables upstairs too. Our coffee and teacake were very good but the cakes on display also looked delicious. Lovely toilets was a nice bonus.

Had a hot chocolate a deluxe one.Great price £3.50.It had cream and marshmallows on it was delicious.The hot chocolate tasted funny but my friend liked it so it must be what I am used to.Nice people and all round a nice place.

What a nice dog friendly cafe, we had a tea & a coffee ,a cheese scone & a fruit scone very fresh & tasty. Staff were very friendly.

It was a rainy Sunday morning in Helmsley. We pulled back the curtains and decided we would do something we hardly ever do on holiday and do absolutely nothing for the day. My husband nipped out to Crema cafe, after telephoning ahead with our take out order, for a full English breakfast. Mine was gluten free and delicious, sadly no gluten free sausage but that’s only a minor issue. We will definitely be ordering again on our next visit.

Been here three times for breakfast and each time has been consistently delicious. Good choice, friendly staff and great food. It seems fairly small when you walk in but there is a huge room upstairs. Will be back soon.

My wife and I called in here for a Coffee and cake, lovely cafe, cakes are sublime and very welcoming reception, would definitely recommend

Visited as a family on a Saturday. Great service and were able to offer a comfortable table for 5. Food was very good. Freshly prepared and cooked but not an unreasonable wait. Good quality. Would recommend and will return.

We had a very nice lunch here, food fresh and tasty, I had quiche and salad, hubby had ploughmans lunch. Dog friendly too, would recommend.

Visited this cafe twice this week whilst on holiday and had two brilliant lunches. LOADS of gf options and I mean loads. Cakes as well! I had the gf and df banoffee cake today and you wouldn’t know it was anything free. Absolutely superb. Highly recommended to anyone!

As my husband is gluten free and I'm dairy free I always check websites etc before visiting a new place to see where we would be able to get something to eat. I found this establishment on the gluten free dining website and we had tea/coffee and cake there. They had a nice choice of cakes for us and the family were also well provided for too. I would definitely recommend Crema.

Popped in with the family this week for a breakfast to set ya up for the day and creama didn’t disappoint. I’ve been hear for years and never realised how big this cafe is. Loads of space and seating throughout. As we had a rare visit from the sun we opted to sit outside. Only downside was the wasps wanted to visit too. After a little rearranging we got setting and managed to enjoy our top quality breakfast. For £7 the full English is certainly that. Good amount of food served and scrambled eggs to die for. I chose the simper option of a bacon butty (bacon sandwich) which was beautiful. No sign of any fat at all, not greasy and really thick. Nice to finally find a cafe with quality food rather than the cheap fatty options. Coffees and cappuccinos really tasty too.

Wir waren hier für ein schnelles Frühstück. Der Kaffee war recht dünn, obwohl er von Haus aus stärker sein sollte. Die heiße Schokolade war groß und gut. Gibt es auch mit zusätzlichen Toppings.

Nice little cafe. Staff friendly and helpful. Had a toastie was really nice. . Had a cold drink. Easy access for disabled . Clean and lovely atmosphere

We visited for lunch and had bacon butties, ploughmans, toastie and sandwiches. The food was ready quite quickly and was delicious. The bacon buttie was the best we had ever tasted. Really thick, not fatty bacon. My son was very impressed.

Had to wait nearly 30 mins for a toastie. Had already drunk the coffee by the time the toastie arrived. When delivered the size and quality was poor, the handful of crips were stale. Would not return.

v nice cafe, quick service. We just had drinks on two occasions, and sampled their tea, milkshakes, fruit smoothies, apple juice, which were all delicious. Have not sampled their food but hope to next time as it looked nice. Would be nice to offer more vegan options, they only had a flapjack, no vegan cakes.

We visited this cafe due to their gluten free options. We had a gluten free toastie, a ploughman’s, a gf chocolate aero cake and a gf cherry bakewell cake. We enjoyed all the food.

Return visit for lunch. The Rarebit was simply delicious and my wife’s Ploughman’s was equally enjoyable. Staff very courteous. We will definitely return on our next trip to Helmsley.

Went here early in the morning, 1 of us had a full English breakfast, and others had warm scones. All of the food and coffee were excellent, service great, and all the staff were nice. A hidden place off the main central square.

Stopped here for coffee this morning. Delightful place the home made cakes looked really good my friend and I had Cheese scones which was excellent. Will definitely return.

My self and my wife visited Crema Coffee House to-day for the second time and we were not disappointed. My wife is a celiac and was very pleased with the selection of food on offer .The staff could not be faulted on service, the decoration of the cafe was spot on.

Over the years we have tried pretty much all the Helmsley coffee shops and with one exception they have been good or excellent (the exception being over priced and under friendly but there always has be an exception).

One of many in Helmsley but one of the better ones. Great service and a pleasant sheltered outside area.

We've visited quite a few times in recent years whenever we've been in the area (most recently in September 2018). Although the prices are a bit steep, the friendly staff and excellent service more than make up for it, however this time it was a very disappointing visit. We walked in to find it empty except for two rather bored staff members. No warm welcome, an uncomfortable atmosphere, poor quality drinks, and dirty cups and cutlery. Maybe this is the reason we found it empty. I think we'll try somewhere different next time.

We came across this cafe after a bad experience in another local establishment and found the place friendly and welcoming. The hot chocolate was delicious as were the cakes and our Labrador was offered water and looked after too. Would recommend

A group pf four stopped here for coffee, tea and scones. The scones were excellent, fresh and tasted homemade. The service was quick. There was a large selections of cakes and gifts on offer too.

A clean, friendly welcoming café . The food and drinks are excellent and served by the most friendly staff one could hope for

Visited here most days for lunch while on holiday because it was so good. The cakes are amazing and homemade. The ladies who run the cafe were so friendly, yes you have to wait for your food because it’s fresh ! Breakfast is good too with warm toast and a cup of tea, perfection.

Called here for a very late lunch. Pleasant surroundings and staff. Three orders; two chicken and chorizo panini, soup of the day and ham on white sandwich. Great flavours in the panini, not necessarily high end ingredients but coupled with fresh salad and a lovely whole grain mustard dressing combined with a vibrant coleslaw I would hail it as a triumph. Soup was good and sandwich had fresh bread and good quality ham. Cappuccino was decent with standard two shots of rich rounded coffee, good froth and a very pleasant dusting of sweet cocoa. Work colleagues had cake to go which they highly recommended. Would I call again - yes!!

Lovely place for a snack or breakfast, wonderful if you are gluten intolerant. The cakes are perfection and the coffee and teas fantastic. The staff are so friendly and helpful.

We visited here in summer, during torrential rain. The cafe was busy due to the weather, but service was friendly and we waited for our food for about half an hour due to it being busy. We were told of the wait, which we didn’t mind. The food was the major let down of the whole experience. We both ordered paninis which were served in ciabatta bread (not the usual for paninis), which would have been lovely but we found them flavourless and the portion sizes very small! Not worth the money. Will not be calling again on our visits to Helmsley.

Stopped for coffee and a snack. Coffee was OK but the teacake was very disappointing and overpriced. Service was good and the ambience was pleasant - especially upstairs.

Lovely coffe, was looking forward to my ploughman’s but unfortunately was a small potion,

Found this gem on a cold sunny day, warmed up with hot chocolate. A lovely cafe with very pleasant staff to serve you. We only required drinks today but will visit again, they have a loyalty card system.

I go here whenever I'm in Helmsley. Staff very welcoming. Chloe, dog, got own helping of bacon. She really enjoyed it. Thanka

We called in for lunch before booking into our hotel, we had a very nice lunch from very helpful staff, all at a resonable price.

Coffee was very good. Cheese scone at £2.75 on the pricey side and not very cheesey. Service was very good and staff very pleasant. Marked down to 3 because of the scone.

Staff very friendly and helpful, lovely homemade cakes and excellent Yorkshire tea. We worth a visit

We were happy to have found this place. Lovely coffee and cakes + most friendly service. Staff is very flexible and service is fast.

Helmsley is awash with places to eat and drink so the Crema Coffee House was a random choice based on the look of the premises. We went to the upstairs part and seated at a window with a view onto the thoroughfare below. Menu had a fair choice and, as the title suggests, we chose Paninis with a coffee. First to arrive was the coffee, which, in view of the delay to the meal, was far too early. Coffee almost drunk, meal arrived. Substantial enough with a salad and my pet hate kettle chips. A few proper chips would have given it full marks. Nothing special to raise it above the rest but then it was ONLY a Panini!

Very welcoming and friendly, and dog-friendly too. Lovely, varied menu and generous portions. We ordered 4 different meals and all 4 were very tasty. Faultless!

I'm in the area at my caravan every other weekend and having tried every cafe in Helmsley, this is my favourite. Delicious coffee, friendly staff, cakes to die for... their coffee & walnut is the best ever. The cafe is also dog friendly which is great. For anyone with specific dietary requirements, they do vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options.

After visiting National Trust properties in Yorkshire, we arrived in Helmsley on a very busy Saturday lunchtime. We found the Crema Coffee House by chance - what a find!

Found this very nice little tea room, of the main square, when on a holiday visit to Helmsley, very nice service , sandwiches and tea/coffee very good, they also do meals. would recommend a visit, if you are in the area

Nice dog friendly cafe. If you drink hot chocolate this is best place in town also serves good lunches and cakes. My only criticism would be that the chairs are a bit hard and uncomfortable.

We came in for lunch last Sunday. We went to look and see if there was any space in their outside eating area, but as there was only two small tables out there it was understandably full. We sat down and after a slight wait we were seen to with the dogs being given fresh water. I had changed my mind from quiche to a sandwich and they were nice enough about so that was good. However, after being asked if my sister wanted a sandwich not a toastie at least 3 times they still got it wrong. They also failed to give me iced water even though I specified really icy water as I know I can be a pain in the bum. Additionally, even though this may sound nit picky they didn’t ask if I liked my quiche warm or cold. As a cold quiche fan I would’ve been dissatisfied had it been warm. Overall it was an average lunch and we might try other places in Helmsley before returning.

Calling all celiacs.....you need to visit this café! Called on our way home from holiday for a special treat and was delighted by the lovely range of gluten-free cakes. This café won't fob you off with just a brownie if you are gluten free! There was cranberry and white chocolate cake, salted caramel.....chocolate and hazelnut.......HEAVEN! The cake was GOOD.....need I say more!!!

Popular place to be sure but the staff are so nice and really seem to enjoy their jobs. The tomato and cheese sandwich plate was delicious. My partner had the Ploughman’s lunch and thoroughly enjoyed it. Good for the price.

Popped in here for a quick lunch on our way through Helmsley, and very much did the job. Plenty of choice.

We popped into Crema Coffee house on a day when many other places were closed or closed early due to the bad weather (March 2018). It was very good overall. The place was very clean (including the toilets) and the service was friendly and welcoming.

We popped in here with our two young children at the end of an afternoon in Helmsley. The tea room is a quaint English tea room offering everything you would expect. It's small and cramped, I w

Quite expensive for what you get. Small portions. Bland food. Coffee not great. Very cold. We only visited as it was the first coffee shop we came across and because it is dog friendly and offers soya milk. Very disappointing overall.

In all the years we’ve been visiting Helmsley we’ve never ever been to this cafe and how pleasantly surprised we were too. We had leek and potato soup, it was very hot but dreadfully tasteless and like hot dish water. It was very peppery and gave it a kick, but lacking substance and flavour and seem watered down, somehow. The cappuccino and latte were the best things we had. The prices are good and the cakes look Devine, but you might need to re-examin your soup! So would we go again? I’m sure we would, but would never have the soup and would go, but wouldn’t make a special effort.

I feel so guilty that I've never eaten lunch here before - and I only live round the corner! My wife and I had lunch here today and it was great - such tasty food and friendly staff. Sometimes staff can "appear" to be friendly but you see right through it as just a marketing thing and it's not genuine - but this was different and genuine friendliness, without being over the top!

We called in for coffee as they offered soya milk . It was a cold wet day and unfortunately our spirits were not lifted . It was depressingly dark and cold inside but the coffee was excellent as was the friendliness of the staff.
