Dillon's Tea House & Cafe in Derbyshire Dales

Drove here from Buxton. Stopped and had Breakfast it was great place, it was having some work done. Still it was lovely all the same.

Lovely little tea shop. Coffee cake was delicious although enough for two 😬 Victoria sandwich unfortunately was stale but it was replaced without question. My big concern was the incorrect use of masks. If wearing under the nose you might as well not bother. It is also important to not keep touching the mask and if you do sanitise your hands before touching anything.

Stopped for tea and a slice on a rideout with my brother. Excellent leaf tea and a cracking range of cakes. The staff were a really good laugh too. Thanks very much.

We called in as there were 2 window spaces available in a corner which looked very appealing. We had been here quite a while ago and were happy with things then, not so much now. Like the other review made yesterday, we had to wait 15 minutes for our order to be taken and another 10 minutes for the drinks and a brownie to arrive. My heated sausage roll took nearly another 10 minutes to arrive. In all fairness, the drinks and food were excellent and good value for money. One more area that needs attention is leaving cakes on the front counter uncovered. A big no no, particularly in these extreme health conscious times

Visited Ashbourne today and as we've been to Dillon's for a coffee previously we thought we'd pop in. Mistake. We waited 15 minutes for the waiter to take our order and nearly 10 more for the drinks to arrive! Lovely coffee shame about the Bakewell Pudding cake. Quite dry with hardly any 'cherry' filling. Apparently the chocolate cake faired better. Disappointed with the whole experience. Probably won't be popping in again. 😟

We paid 2 visits to this tearoom during our short break as the food and service was really good. Out 6 year old was suitably entertained by a selection of toys they gave to us and for eating mushrooms my boy got some chocolate. Also the cakes were amazing! This place is clearly popular and can get very busy so you can’t always get a table but if you can it’s well worth it for the food alone! A very family friendly cafe.

Every time I called in Ashbourne I used this tea room. Excellent young staff. Today I went in at 10 minutes to Four and before I got my foot over the threshold a woman, who was probably the owner, stated “we are closing in 5 minutes - sorry” The tea room was probably2 thirds full and people were sitting eating meals which looked like they had just been served. So my cup of tea was obviously out of the question. One of the patrons looked at me and shook his head and turned his eyes towards the heavens in disgust It was just rude and lazy. Never seen the woman before. I feel very let down as I always recommended the place. Still there are a great many tea rooms in Ashbourne who are grateful for your custom. Don’t bother with this place, I certainly shan’t.

I have visited Dillons on many occasions, but after our visit today I know I will never go back or recommend it to anyone I know. The service was very slow, and when the waitress came to take the order, she was abrupt and not in the slightest bit pleasant or welcoming, one of the dishes was the wrong one and the chicken on it had been microwaved to the most disgusting taste! The waitress then started to argue with us, waving her arms about and behaving in a very aggressive way! Both my daughter and myself were stunned, and just packed our things up and just left. I'm not sure if it has changed hands, but it does not bode well for it given our experience in there today.

Have visited often in the past- when there were really helpful staff. Not so today- the afternoon of 20 January.We called in at 3.15:1 There is a sign saying please wait to be seated- but none of the staff bothered to adhere to that or look at us.2 We sat down - and after 15 minutes with NO APPROACH from any member of staff we walked out. To be honest the staff were so not on the ball I don’t think they even noticed.3 Three members of staff were evident but too busy chatting to people they knew.What has happened? What a disaster area.Went to Costa!

First time I've managed to get in here yesterday. What a treat. Has a standard menu with choice of hot and cold food. Note the specials board by the stairs. Chose the omelette from the specials board. Two fillings for £6.50. Had cheese and mushroom and rates as one of the best I've ever had. The ham and mushroom chosen by the wife got the same response. Salad accompanying it first class. All the food coming out looked very tasty and enticing. Number of tempting cakes at the counter if hot drink and cake is your way to go. Staff very friendly and good. Well worth a visit.

We were in Ashbourne for the day and picked this place after a brief walk around the town. On walking in we noticed that a number of tables had reserved signs on and we had the choice of one table. we sat and witnessed others who came in after us being turned away as they had no seats available yet throughout our stay no one sat in the reserved section. we were there for breakfast and had Eggs Benedict and Scrambled Egg on toast with Coffee and Tea. Eggs benedict was ok but the hollandaise tasted like it was prebought. scrambled egg was fine. Took some time for the staff to take our order and the service was slow. Cant really complain about the food but in all honesty wont be rushing back!

Found this gem whilst looking for somewhere to have breakfast. I had Derbyshire oatcakes with bacon and scrambled egg. My friend had a full English which came with think toast. The food was amazing and the staff were friendly and attentive defiantly will be returning to try the cakes soon.

We have visited Dillons on a few occasions recently both as a couple and as a family, The staff were really friendly and although it was incredibly busy one of the girls immediately came over to clear and clean a table for us. On the first visit it was just myself and my husband and we both had coffee and cake. The cake slices are really generous so we had two plates and shared a slice. While we were rather we noticed a couple having the afternoon tea on the old fashioned stands which had a selection of cakes and sandwiches. We decided that this would be a lovely treat for our children so we decided to return a few days later to treat them. They absolutely loved going in to a traditional Tea Room and having what they called a “posh lunch” and cant wait to go back. The staff were more than happy to provide them with squash and tap water as our children seem able to drink for England. What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Thanks.

Visited between 9.30 and 10 today. 2 members of staff were friendly but busy doing nothing for a lot of the time. Did they serve us quickly? Yes. Were they polite? Yes . The fair haired lady spent time on her phone in full view of customers and the dark haired lady chatted with 2 different lots of customers at length as she obviously knew them- about tattoos and where to have them and then about what colour to have her nails done. I have visited several times before when management have been present and this type of behaviour has not been happening. It just doesn’t give a great impression of what is a fabulous local place to eat. Just wanted to give constructive feed back to a local business. Great food is not the only way to keep customers coming back.

Called in at 2.50pm to get something to eat, after waiting for over 15 mins a waitress came to take our order to then tell us they had finished serving food , we then had to wait a further 15mins for the coffees we ordered and I can honestly say its the worst coffee we have ever had, we left them, I went to pay and was told as we had waited so long we didn't have to pay for them, good job really because they were not worth paying for, most unfriendly staff I have ever come across, we will not be going back

Lovely Town Centre Cafe, Clean, tidy and inviting, Friendly and welcoming staff, Excellent menu to cater for all needs, Feels very warm and festive

Tea as it should be . Loose leaf brew excellent . Generous portions of cake . Enjoyable and very busy

This is the spot if you want real baking - Sarah is a dab hand at wierd and wonderful cake baking (chocolate and beetroot for example) - unlike almost every other cafe in derbyshire that get their cakes from the "your partner in restauration" truck doing the rounds.

We often call here for mainly lunch or brunch we love this place they do lovely coffee and soups are divine all home made and very nice they do a very good desert menu lots to choose from at a very good price,

Beautiful cakes, great selection and massive slices. Lovely tea room and perfect for people watching if you grab a window seat.

Today we rushed to finish work in order to go to Dillon’s for a much needed treat of coffee and cake.

A great little Cafè. Clean & tidy. Prompt service by a pleasant waitress (Pink Hair😊) Scones were fresh and delicious. Well done.

We popped in on bank holiday sunday for a quick breakfast for the kids! They had doorstep toast and butter! Lovely fresh bread! The leaf teas we had very excellent too!

We arrived at a busy time it is fair to say, so the halfway landing area by the kitchen door and loos held the only available seating. Initially this seemed an uninviting area but we soon learned that it was the quiet zone as the lower part of the cafe was so noisy due to reduced soft sound absorbing materials.

The full English was lovely, with thick slices of bread and tasty pork and leek sausages. The pot of tea comes as loose leaf, with an extra pot of hot water too, so good value. Friendly service and a good spot to people-watch.

First visit to Ashbourne even though we are local and we stumbled across Dillon’s after looking in most of the other cafes and we wasn’t disappointed. The food was amazing, wide selection, smoothies to die for and the staff was lovely!

Having regularly visiting this cafe in the past both to dine and drink on the last few occasions I have visited with friends I can’t help but feel the standard has gone downhill. Elements such as butter portions were lovingly presented in side ramekins and have now been replaced with cheap butter portions; the sauces are now dispensed into a ramekin straight from the jar instead of the lovely jam pots they were served in; and on my most recent visit one member of staff dispensed Sainsbury’s basic jam straight from the jar for all the customers to see. With the food at such a high standard using local produce and the coffee and tea being one of the towns best, it is a shame to see a cafe loose certain features which resulted in it being one of the leading in the coffee shop filled town.

Went today... coffee and tea were nice but chocolate on Millionaire brownie was rock hard and brownie was dry. Lemon cake was dry and the milk shake was just milk with vanilla essence in it. No cream or ice cream. It was warm and sickly.

Asked waitress for a breakfast tea who looked at me blankly and then said yes.. walked away. Tea never came. Asked another waitress to be told they don’t have it.... ?! Went to costa after my visit.

I popped in here before a meeting in Ashbourne with a customer, as I had unintentionally arrived 30 minutes early, so decided to grab myself a quick coffee. I had intended on popping in to Costa to grab a take-out coffee, but as I walked passed Dillon's, I decided I would shop a little more locally, and take the time to sit inside a nice little tea room, rather than head back to my car with a coffee in a paper cup.

Have been here a number of times but this was the last vist food awfull the plough man's lunch was simply dreadfull very small chòpod up salad dry roll very fatty small slice of ham the worst bit was the pork pie dry hefty grisly looking thing horrid the other meal was nearly as nasty and with 2 drinks over 20 pounds will never vist again beware

This is a really nice coffee shop on the main road through Ashbourne. It offers a great range of teas and coffees backed up with really good food.

Enjoyed a delightful mid morning tea and cake in this traditional coffee shop. Service was swift and friendly and the choice of cake options is excellent. Will definitely return!

Was doing a group ride from Preston to London. This was our first food stop on our epic 240mile journey. Surroundings were perfect for us. Nice clean environment. Staff were very welcoming even though we were drenched due to the constant rain. We all ordered bacon sandwiches which arrived very quickly even though they were very busy. Food and drinks delicious. They even managed to get me an iPhone charger to charge my Garmin. If I’m ever back in Ashbourne will deffo be popping in here for a bite to eat.

Boyfriend and I visited for a coffee and ended up having the cream tea instead because it looked so good. Really nice loose leaf tea with extra hot water for plenty cups of tea. The scones were huge with a good amount of cream.

Called in at around 4:15 just for a coffee and cake (closes at 5). Were told there’s no food - but then clarified that meant no cooked food. That’s fine, people have homes to go to. However, whole experience felt like we were sort of in the way as the staff were cleaning down the kitchen and putting cakes etc away in fridges etc. Generally a nice place to go, but don’t go within an hour of closing!

Good coffee and delicious cake in an airy location in the centre of town. Worth a visit if you are browsing the shops

The husband and I were meandering through the Peak District, stopping at a lovely village - Ashbourne - to visit the ancient St Oswald’s Church.

Enjoyed a lovely slice of Victoria Sponge today with my other half. Quick attentive service, comfortable seating and good value, will visit again!

Not impressed at all. Food was average and service began friendly enough, until the waitress said the kitchen were unable to make my 5 year old a boiled egg (menu says ‘eggs of your choice’). The staff continued to disappoint me. Slammed down cutlery, took away plates when people were still eating, took away tea pots that still had some in! Very uncomfortable. One plate was warm (well too hot I fact) other was cold. Largely staffed by youngsters who are clearly bored. Shame as the rest of the town is lovely. Would not recommend this place.

Popped into Dillon’s for lunch and a piece of cake as passing by.

We called for lunch on the way past, impromptu visit,

Two black coffees with cheese on toast and brown sauce of course. Sat by watching the world go by. Served very well by Matt. All staff very friendly and helpful. Will go again.

We had the most fabulous homemade egg custard tarts and lovely tea / coffee. Would definitely recommend this place.

My husband and I stopped for a break during our motorcycle ride. Lovely choice of cakes. Service was quick even though it was a busy Saturday morning. Fair price and comfortable seats,lovely atmosphere.

First visit here. We'd passed 2 cafes that were empty or closing - it was 3.45. Dillons was open & busy. Staff friendly & welcoming. Nice atmosphere. A wide selection of cakes. Coffee good. Kids enjoyed the smoothies too. Would definitely go back.

Popped to Ashbourne yesterday as the weather was nice and decided to go to Dillon’s for lunch. Food and coffee was very good and service was prompt.

We came in for lunch and had their all day vegetarian breakfast on a Derbyshire oatcake which is a bit like a pancake. They were excellent, served with delicious thickly sliced bread. The tea was loose and high quality too. Their cakes look great and we are going to have a slice to take away.

Had a lovely lunch here on a cold very wet day. Warm welcome & great service. Extensive menu. Tea came whilst I was waiting for the food which was great to warm me up. Te was S erved with a pot of hot water without me having to ask. Piping hot chips & lovely sandwich. Took a slice of cake home with me as they looked too good to miss! Will definitely return.

Nice scones & nice tea. It was busy so we were invited to take a seat and told that the table would be cleared in due course. Unfortunately the crumbs were cleared onto our laps! Can’t fault anything else.

Called for lunch today and had a Prawn Jacket Potato and a Pot of Tea. The prawns were tough, accompanying side salad was lovely. Tea was of high quality. However, the decor is dirty and poor quality, especially in the little area up the steps. The toilet area is badly in need of TLC. Will try them again in a few months, but owner needs to check on quality of produce, especially prawns for Jacket Spuds.

Having visited Hoptin Hall and being disappointed not being able to get a cream tea we visited here and were not disappointed!

A warm and busy tea shop that was perfect for a post hike refresher. Dillons has an old world charm, with a modern feel. The cakes are very tasty and enormous. We saw others with very nice looking ploughman's. The table service is friendly. We felt very comfortable here and enjoyed our afternoon tea.

Arrived at about 12.30 Fri 15.2.2019

We visited this cafe today and on a previous occasion in the past year. Although there is a large selection of cakes (as mentioned in other reviews), sadly, there were no gluten free options on each of our visits. This was disappointing so we will not be visiting again. On the positive side, there are may other cafes in Ashbourne that have moved with the times and offer gluten free cakes if this is your preference.

Nice cafè ,polite staff,great service,lovely cskes on offer and nice size pots of tea. well placed on the main road,spacious and you dont sit on top of each other. Staff asked if everything was to our liking,nice place ,no hesitation in recommending.

Excellent coffee, friendly and welcoming staff, first class scones. Home made cakes all look really appealing. Scones are all fresh on the day (any of previous day's bake are available to take away and well worth purchasing). Very impressed.

Popular not only by reason of its central Location, or the reliable menu, nor even the comfortable and varied seating, nor the lovely cakes- but popular by virtue of the welcoming and helpful staff. Light and relaxed atmosphere watching the world go by.

Visited one of our regular bolt holes over Christmas. It may be the last time. Both of us ordered our usual meals which was checked twice by the staff member. When the food finally came ........it was wrong! It went back to finally be delivered a second time....but only to be wrong again! Could not be bothered to send back again ......so ate it. Then had a quiet word with the staff about the error for them to get the bill wrong! It was a little busy and with it being close to New Year sort of understand - but might have to find somewhere else.....shame!

Found this place a few years ago and wouldn’t go anywhere else for our breakfast and cakes. Great food and great service. There are a number of cafes in the area but would recommend you trying this one.

This is our second visit to Dillon’s Tea House & Cafe. Our first visit, which was sometime ago, was really good - I remember we had tea and cake which had been nice. Unfortunately this visit was disappointing.

I love breakfast at Dill9ns. They open at 8.30. It gets quite busy as folk find out what a great breakfast deal they have, The porridge if fabulous.

Second time here Lovely staff good choice of food Cherry bakewell cake is gorgeous Keep up the good work

Visited one of regular haunts again today. Was not as busy as usual and thought that the standard of the cafe had slipped a bit. Staff were friendly but the gloss seemed to have gone. Food was only average.

Excellent food, great tea (loose leaf) and a very cool setting! Family friendly and good selection of food and drink to suit all needs, very impressive.

Just popped in early morning for breakfast nibbles and ended up having a lemon meringue and lemon slice between us with a couple of the most delightful spot on temperature coffees you could want, the cakes were awesome fresh made and better than anything you could find in the national coffee chains, service was amazing and with a smile at all times, says a lot about this place that it was packed out at 10am and people were staring to queue, fabulous place that puts the soul back into the high street.

We enjoyed the Afternoon tea for two and staff even brought out a little taster plate for our 6 month old. Brilliant service and good value.

We were holidaying in the Ashbourne area and popped in, lovely light lunch. We loved it so much we returned for cake later in the day and breakfast the next day and a few says later. The oatcake veggie breakfast was amazing! Very accommodating staff with indecisive children and changes to orders and ingredients. Cannot wait to be back in the area to eat here again!

This is a great little independent which seemed very busy. It was lovely that you are offered a table which rarely happens now. The waiter and waitresses were busy taking orders and delivering them to the tables in a very timely manner. The food menu looked good but we were tempted by the large selection of homemade cakes. Indeed, we struggled to choose as they all looked so good. To go with the cakes there is a comprehensive selection of teas and coffees. It was a pleasant change to have loose tea when I asked for green tea as so often it is bagged green tea. This café/tea room isn't luxurious but it is very homely and welcoming. We'll certainly use it again.

We visited late on a Saturday afternoon following an 18 mile cycle ride. Although they do lunches by the time we arrived just cake and drinks were on offer so that was perfect for us. The selection of cakes was vast and tempting. Teenagers had milkshake and smoothie, we had tea and cake. My cream tea was perfect - not massive but perfect size for me - delicious. My husband likes vex his cake too. The only thing stopping it being a 5 star review was the toilets - I am fussy - like them to be immaculate- they were very end of busy day and would benefit from a deep clean of floor and tiles etc. Service was friendly.

My wife and I called in whilst staying in the neighbouring village. So glad we did.

For a lovely cup of coffee in relaxed surroundings. This one worth a visit do nice clean fresh breakfasts

Visited this place at lunchtime, place buzzing. Welcomed by friendly attentive staff who come and take your order once seated. Good selection of cakes, sandwiches, breakfast, and specials including plough mans, salads and cream teas. Free wifi and papers to browse. Lovely place to chillax whilst watching the shoppers from the window. Cooked breakfast was really great with homemade sausages and the scrambled egg was one of the best I've ever had.

Fell upon this gem of a cafe en route to Buxton ..... what a find! Only wanted a coffee but we couldn't resist a fruit scone and a portion of the to die for Tea Loaf cake... Superband all baked on site.... so glad we just came across this fab place

We called into this tea room for a late lunch. We were very surprised at how nice the food was. I had a jacket potato which cheese and it was exceptional. I asked for more butter and got a saucer with four lots of extra butter. There was plenty of cheese. The staff all very nice and helpful. It was a very quaint tea room. We got proper loose leaf tea which was great.

I can't comment on the food as l only came for a mid-morning cuppa, but l really liked this place. It's quite spacious with a mixture of seating. It had a lovely relaxed atmosphere and the staff appeared friendly. I enjoyed my pot of tea whilst reading and watching the world go by. Much nicer here than any of the regular chain coffee shops.

Cakes were excellent, but the rather young staff need help in order to improve their customer service. Drinks and cakes could have been placed nicely rather than slammed down in front of you.

Visited on a Monday when many other cafes were shut. I had the chicken & pesto ciabatta and my daughter had the chorizo and halloumi salad. Both were excellent, as was the coffee. Service was prompt and professional. The cakes looked superb, but as she was on a diet.......well worth eating there. Good value.

Lovely cream tea. Lots of scrummy cakes to choose from. Takeaway too, staff attentive. Was busy so we came back later.

Called here for coffee. The service was good. The cakes looked really nice but. THEY ARE NOT COVERED UP. the place is by the main road ,it was a warm day ,the door wide open ,lorries going past blowing dust in all over the cakes ,really wanted a slice

Coffee was bland,the food portion size was small however the quiche of the day was very nice my husband had an open sandwich that was equally as nice. We asked for a portion of chips , these were so greasy ,undercooked and dirty brown colour how can you get chips so wrong we did not pay for these as we asked them to to take them off the bill . On a positive note the place was nice very clean and staff were friendly .

We dived in here to grab some lunch after spending the morning at the Artisan market on Sunday and boy were we in for a treat. The menu has some really nice variety and is complimented by the fab specials board, the afternoon tea's and enormous cakes on offer at the counter. In fact we changed our minds on what to have several times before ordering...

I live in Ashbourne and have been to Dillon’s a few times. I am becoming a more frequent visitor and I have to say the food drink and service has never missed the mark. Lovely place, friendly greeting. Can get very busy at lunch.

These tea rooms are in what used to be our favourite bookshop in Ashbourne, and now a favourite place to have a drink or snack. We had a warm welcome and were lucky to get a window table at lunchtime, we must have arrived at just the right time as it was very busy and while we were there people were having to be turned away. The tea rooms are on the main street so it was great for people watching while we waited for our food and drinks. The service was pleasant and unhurried and there was a great choice of unusual teas as well as a good choice of different types of food, from cake and snacks, to substantial main lunches. It is quite a small tea room and the back room, up a few steps is a bit dark, but that is the only drawback. The waitresses got our order right, and the food was good. The place was very, very clean, with tables cleared promptly. A good place to visit.

Not the friendliest greeting on entering the cafe. I actually felt we were an inconvenience. Food was ok but the pork pie on the ploughman’s lunch was really poor quality. Bread on the sandwiches a little dry. No soap in the (not very clean) toilet. Not good value overall.

A great place to stop off for a cuppa rea or coffee and cake ,lovely place with lots to choose from ,the cakes are gorgeous and the staff are very nice and friendly and they have some good deals on too.Sit in the window and watch the world go by .

We decided to try Dillon's for breakfast on our last day in Ashbourne, and we were not disappointed. We had a fabulous breakfast of porridge followed by smoked salmon & scrambled eggs on a fresh Derbyshire oatcake.

I went here with my partner for coffee and cake. The ladies service is excellant. They are polite and friendly. Cake and coffee were wonderful too. Overall great coffee place

Took Grandson to the JCB Academy Induction, daughter and I went off in search of somewhere to eat and get a drink, after finding parking we took a walk around the town and came across Dillon's, a small establishment not far from the market, we were politely asked to go to a table and a waitress came over and we ordered Full English Breakfasts, nothing exceptional but well cooked and very tasty, served fairly quickly as it was only about 09-30 am, I did comment to one of the staff that it would have been just that little bit better if Black Pudding had been included and was thanked for the comment and advised that they were considering including it in the future.

Lovely tea shop.All the cakes look very tempting.Had a lovely snack here and couldn`t resist finishing will a delicious cake.Very friendly staff and goo service.Thank you

No matter what time of day you visit \Dillon's there's always a warm welcome, lovely atmosphere and great food. They also do take away drinks and scrummy cakes as well as more filling meals and snacks.

There’s not too much to say about the place. And average cafe in the centre of Ashbourne, with OK food. Nothing too special. The atmosphere isn’t as good as some places I’ve been and it was cold inside, but in fairness it was minus 1 outdoors and they were having new stairs put in. It was clean and the staff friendly, nothing to note about the food.

We stopped of in Ashbourne on our way to Leek, and found this lovely coffee shop, with a great selection of food, especially the cakes, my favourite was the homemade Battenburg, and the coffee was great, very good service, and friendly staff.

Lovely coffee, delicious smoothies and hot chocolate, great service and very reasonably priced. Half the price of Costa and double the quality.

If you’re in Ashbourne or indeed the Peak District you should have breakfast or at the very least cake & coffee at Dillon’s! This cafe has a laid back atmosphere, a fantastic menu & amazing selection of cakes & really great friendly staff. We will be back & would highly recommend.

Waited about 20 minutes for order to be taken. Couple next to us, who came in after us, were served a meal in the mean time. We had ordered a pot of tea for two and two cheese scones, which we asked to be warmed up. Eventually we were served our tea and two cold scones. Asked for them to be heated up. Waitress took them away without a word and returned to plonk them down heated and with butter, again, without a word. The same waitress was having an argument with a dissatisfied customer on his way out. It was a cold day and she was holding the door open to continue the discussion with him. This didn't reflect well on the establishment. I noticed one or two other members of staff who actually smiled at their customers, but on the whole, I'd say this place would benefit from some training in customer service and organisation.

We had travelled from Leicester for a national trust day out but it was closed so we headed to Ashbourne....

What a great location, very happy/helpful staff and spotlessly clean. I visited for cakes and coffee and the unusual choice of cakes was a refreshing change. I would make a point of visiting again if I go to Ashbourne.

I pop into Dillons often. The staff are truly lovely. The cakes are home baked and creative and cappuccino is the best here. It's relaxed in here and has huge windows to people watch

Stopped in Ashbourne briefly for refreshment and found Dillons to be just what we needed . Pleasant atmosphere and staff . Our baked potatoes were fine but I was nearly defeated by the generous portion . Perhaps I should have asked for one of the speciality coffees ; my Americano wasn't that impressive . The cakes looked good too but we had 'no room' for them . Would certainly recommend for a light lunch .
