Dukes in High Peak

Amazing lunch. I had garlic butter prawns and they were fantastic. The cake afterwards was also delicious and the service was excellent. Highly recommend.

Best full English breakfast I have had. The service was very attentive and the coffee was very good. Would definitely recommend.

Looking for somewhere in Glossop for breakfast before a day’s hiking, we got lucky and arrived here just as they were opening up on a Saturday morning. We grabbed a window table, and settled in. 20 minutes later, the cafe was full with locals in the know and visitors. The coffee came out quickly - and was properly hot. Well done. We both went for a full English - fresh ingredients cooked well. The service was friendly, meals came out in good time, there are clean toilets and we left well set up for a day’s hiking. Outdoor tables on the pavement at the front.

Lovely tea and cake thank you! Nice choice of cakes and local to where we are staying too. Relaxed experience. Meandered the high street afterwards and manor Park too. Lovely.

Best breakfasts and service you will get in glossop ! Tried them all and this is by far the best. The quality of food is at the top of the game also

Called in today, Saturday, at around 1.45pm and ordered drinks which were delivered promptly. We were then informed that they had stopped serving cooked food. Would have been nice to be told this before we ordered the drinks. We left and went elsewhere. As said in a previous review their business acumen is sadly lacking.

Delicious breakfast and excellent spicy prawn and ciabatta. Dog friendly and provide outdoor seating. Excuse the half eaten pic!

We made an impromptu visit this morning to Dukes for a coffee and cake. It was a delightful experience. We received a very warm welcome, super hot coffee and a selection of cakes to choose from. I noticed that meals are also available, as well as a panini’s and toasties upon request, just ask it says! The walls are adorned with work from local artists of the local area too. The cafe is immaculately clean. Before leaving we had a conversation with the owner who clearly cares about how their coffee is produced and is obviously very proud of the business and rightly so.

I researched this café, looking for a meal break in my long journey home from Sheffield. I made a special detour to Glossop to go there. I checked the opening hours on their website the night before, which said they were open until 5pm. It was very disappointing therefore to find all the chairs on the tables and someone cleaning up at just before 3.45. The man explained that they had been very quiet. When I asked about the hours on the website the man said that they didn't know the password to make changes!! Luckily I spotted a Food Hall (not just any food hall...) down a path on the opposite side of the road and went there. I try and support the independents but I felt badly let down by this one. I would have been writing a quite different review if the man in the café had had either compassion or a business brain. Both were absent. When I had just travelled an hour to get there and find the café closing, the offer of a hot drink and piece of toast would have been very welcome. As it was I had a very tasty halloumi and falafel wrap in the Food Hall.

Lovely food not as much choice as most places but amazing food and cakes. Would recommend will go back

Very friendly welcome and fortunate to get the last table. The fired breakfast was delicious and loved how the sausage was served - almost like a smash burger. Will definitely come back.

Visited Dukes for the first time wanting a good breakfast The service was great, warm friendly welcome on arrival and a clean dining area. Drinks were served promptly and were very nice however the full english breakfast was a little disappointing The produce ie bacon seemed to be good quality however the egg had been cooked in old oil so had black bits on it, the sausage patty was greasy and the slice of tomato cold I also found it a tad expensive for what you got, compared to other local cafes/restaurants

Top Full English Breakfast!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Selection of excellent quality products, bacon, sausage, black pudding. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit.

Have only visited here for breakfast. Has to be the best independent café, I have visited in Glossop. Staff are really friendly. Food is five star couldn’t ask for more. The only criticism I would have is there is not many tables, but it’s what I think makes unique.

Great cafe , with really friendly staff. Nothing is too much trouble. Mega fresh baked cakes too. We have eaten here many times. They have a varied menu to suit most tastes, whether that be vegan or meat lovers. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Pop in after the gym -for coffee,always really prompt friendly service and spotlessly clean. Comfy seating. Food looks delicious but haven’t tried yet. Coffee amazing. Will keep popping in ❤️

My wife and I met my son and his husband at Dukes for breakfast, I have to say it was delicious. The service was prompt and there was a very friendly atmosphere . Thanks Dukes we will be back .

Completely friendly. Best spot for some post Parkrun caffeine and protein. Small menu, any of which would have been perfect

Visited twice over the last few weeks. Lovely coffee, great cakes and tasty food. Staff very friendly and clean surroundings. Good options for vegetarians and cake lovers.

A local Independent coffee shop that makes a beautiful coffee. There is a range of food that is divine. The staff are friendly, welcoming and prompt service. The best coffee shop in town in my opinion well worth a visi

Close to the new shopping area and in the town centre, this cafe was a really good find. Pleasant surroundings friendly and welcoming service and good food and drinks. It is deservedly popular. It welcomes dogs too but remember that it is closed on Mondays....

So, so glad to see this cafe back open after the recent enforced Covid closure. It really is a little gem and well worth a visit. The coffee is always excellent. Good food and cakes. I only had the coffee and cake on this visit....

We had been to the cafeteria the day before and were tempted to go back a second day running: I’m so glad we tried this place instead. Lovely couple and incredible breakfast. Best rocky road I have ever tasted. Thanks for making my birthday special!

Located on a main road in Glossop this little cafe is a gem.We didn't have the time to sample the cooking but indulged in a very tasty piece of rocky road and a latte.The coffee was nice and hot ,service good highly recommended.

We were passing by with the dog and decided to Pop in for a slice of cake and a coffee, we wanted a liquor coffee (it’s new year) and the staff were more than accommodating even offered to go get baileys if we didn’t want...

Whether it be breakfast, lunch or just a coffee & cake, Dukes always impresses. Today's visit saw 3 of us stop off for coffee and cake. Coffee was delicious and a great selection of cakes, including at least 4 gluten free options, all of which...

I am currently commuting between Sheffield and West Lancashire on a regular basis. Its appx 70 miles each way. Day one, I travelled by the motorway system M1/M62/M6. It took three and a half hours to get to my destination. Return I'd come back via the Snake and it had taken 75 minutes, though I'd done it at night when the roads were empty. So day two I reckoned if it was going to take three hours I might as well go by the scenic route, so I looked to the west via the Snake again. 75 minutes at night on the A57, it may be, but its frequently much longer than that during the day; as those that have sat in the traffic between Glossop and the motorway roundabout will know.It is a beautiful road to drive, however, one of the most visually stunning roads in the land. This time, as i descended into Glossop and in need of a pit stop, I saw Duke's. So I took my break. I am so glad I did. The day before, on the motorway edition, I'd stopped at Hartshead for my pit stop. I don't mind Hartshead services I think its one of the better ones on the motorway network. But, let's face it, that's not really saying much, is it?Dukes has cakes. Lots of them. Home baked. I ordered two; Brownie and Fruit. The fruit was particularly lush. They also have plenty of other tasty treats (try Avocado and eggs on toast). The coffee was so delicious I bought some of the beans that were on display in the cafe so I could have some more when I got home. I am drinking some as I type this review in fact. Yum yum yum. The staff are lovely, they have a great taste in Northern indie bands. It turns out we have a mutual affection for The Verve. (My favourite is A Northern Soul btw). I left fortified, the journey still took three hours. Day one I arrived stressed, frustrated and with blood pressure rising. Day two I arrived relaxed, satisfied and raring to go. Go figure. Price-wise. Compared to Hartshead? Are you kdding me? Twice the quality for two thirds of the cost. 11 out of ten.I will definitely be calling at Duke's again.

We have visited this little gem twice now. On each occasion the staff gave been helpful friendly and most importantly not pushy. On our most recent visit saw us try some of the food and not just the great coffee they serve here.There is a good choice on the menu we opted for the halloumi burger. Plenty of great cheese with a nice big mushroom tomato salad and a great tasting garlic mayonnaise. It came with the option of being served on brioche or ciabatta breads. The service was quick. The food tasty and we were left alone to enjoy the meal. Great choice of cake for afters. If you haven't tried here yet you are missing out. Great food at a great price.

Always a good selection of unusual cakes and great coffee. Nicely done out and a lovely place. Music is always chosen well.

Called in to Dukes on a Saturday afternoon for a light lunch which was lovely. Even better was that they now have a licence so had draft beer, wines & shorts available. We will be back soon. Thank you so much and sorry for not calling sooner.

Returning from Cheshire to Huddersfield, we were hungry. We stopped at Whaley Bridge but both of the cafes we tried to visit closed at three. Passing through Glossop, we first called at 'Glossop Cafeteria' which had good reviews on this site but closed at four. Not so Dukes, it closed at five, giving a good hour plus to eat. And what good fayre it was. Tasty bacon & Mozzarella panini with a vibrant looking salad for me, fine halloumi wrap for my partner. Quality moist cake selection for afters & all accompanied by tasty coffees. Surroundings, well that's a tick. Helpful but not overbearing staff, right again. In Glossop looking for a decent cafe? Try Dukes.

After an afternoon walking round Glossop, we needed refreshments and came across Dukes. From the outside it looked very inviting and we were not disappointed. A lot of art on the walls and the coffee was nice, strong and very tasty. Had to sample something from the cake display as well, and it has got to be the richest Rocky Road I have ever had. Nice surprise with the honeycomb pieces in it.Husband had a brownie and said that was delicious as well - Have to take his word for it as he wouldn't let me taste. Very friendly people there and we even got a hello when walking past early evening. You don't get that from the chain coffee shops.Dukes is now on our list for places to visit when we are next in Glossop.

Regular visitor to dukes. The service is exceptional, never mind the food!! The vegan cakes are to DIE for. Highly recommend 😋😋😋😋

I popped in here for the first time this weekend and treated myself to the Veggie Full English which was excellent. As a cafe owner myself I know the importance of getting the details right, and this place definitely has it. Great tunes too!

My wife and I were lucky enough to have had a wonderful afternoon tea at Dukes.

I love Dukes. Easily my favourite breakfast/lunch place in Glossop. I've lived here for a while now, and have probably tried every cafe at least a few times, abs this place is easily, consistently the best. Cheers Dukes.

We visited for coffee a few weeks ago and returned for lunch. We weren't disappointed as the food, drink and ambiance were all great.

Everything on Dukes menu is really excellent but if you like coffee, this coffee is the best in Glossop

Lovely cafe in Glossop which we found by having a poor breakfast elsewhere (Smithy Fold - avoid at all costs). Great coffee with sausages and eggs. Just a shame they were closed Sunday otherwise we’d have been back! See you next time we’re in Glossop!

Visited this cafe for the first time today to meet up with a friend. Ambiance was lovely, the staff helpful and friendly, and the coffee and cake delicious, so I will be visiting again soon.

Dukes is my favourite Glossop stop for coffee, cakes and food. The coffee is spot on and there is always a great selection of fresh, home-made, tasty cakes. The owners and staff are welcoming and friendly too. Pop in and you won't be disappointed.

I can’t say definitely that this is the best coffee in town because I haven’t drunk in every cafe in Glossop. But I was recommended Dukes a few years back by a friend who knows her coffee, and haven’t found the slightest reason to try anywhere else. Excellent espressos, lovely cakes, friendly informed service. Plus your money stays in the local economy. Please, why visit C****a?!

We had a lovely breakfast and the staff were extremely friendly - moving to the area soon so definitely going to be our local go to for gorgeous grub

Went in here with my husband and two friends completely by chance. Lovely place, the menus are in CD covers, very original. There are lovely pictures on the walls available to buy and also magazines to browse through. We had tuna melts which were beautiful and a Ploughman's sandwich which I didn't try but it looked fantastic. I will be trying one on my next visit!

Happened upon this small cafe for lunch and it’s delightful. Very welcoming owners, strong music theme, very tasty toasted panini with decent amount of salad and coleslaw. Can’t fault it.

The proprietors recently modified the building to accommodate an inside loo elevating the star rating from four to five.

Was passing through Glossop at coffee time so as usual I tried to find an independent coffee shop rather than the chains. Dukes was a gem, great coffee and an excellent hot chocolate with two really good home baked cakes. I'm not local and my visits to the area will be very infrequent but I would thoroughly recommend this place for coffee and cakes and we would have happily returned for lunch if our schedule had allowed.

Best cafe in Glossop!!!! Amazing food with brilliant gluten free options and the most lovely and welcoming staff. The perfect stop before for a cyclist psyching them self up for snakes pass, I can't recommend highly enough.

Visited this morning and had a delicious vegan breakfast... beans, tomato, avocado, mushrooms & toast. The service was brilliant. Thanks so much for offering vegan options. Another person also had porridge which was made vegan with plant based milk and maple syrup. Excellent!

This is the first time that I have been in Dukes despite passing it loads of times. It however won’t be the first and only time as we really enjoyed it.

We did Glossop parkrun and our friends at parkrun recommended Dukes as a good place for a coffee and breakfast. It’s small but perfect and we sat a “breakfast bar” table that was ace.

It’s fairly small, but this just leads to a more intimate customer service. They also support a charity that passes on grub to people who can’t afford to eat out and it’s also a host to a local inclusive walkers group.

Lovely place nice food friendly staff, what more? My only down point is I was hoping the specials menu would be other types of hot food not soup, sandwich or jacket potato. Add something hearty guys! :) would come again!

This is small busy cafe so elbow room is limited. Dogs are welcome. Interesting art is displayed around the eating area.

There are plenty of places to procure coffee in Glossop, but this is my favourite in town. Strong Union Coffee and a selection of grub to suit vegan, veggie, those requiring gluten or dairy free are all catered for here. The lack of an inside loo is the reason it doesn't have five stars, but the excellent customer service and fare make up for it - and to be fair if you're desperate you don't care if it's inside or out I guess.

We met some friends here for coffee/cake/chat and it is a lovely little cafe - good coffee, a very tempting range of cakes, friendly and helpful staff, and just a nice spot to sit for a couple of hours with friends on a wet afternoon.

Limited menu but food was good. Friendly owners. No licence, only outdoor toilet. Excellent art on the walls !

Great 'Union' coffee as well as delicious food. Always a warm welcome from the owners and dogs allowed too. Definitely can recommend the halloumi salad and prune flapjacks!

'Had a bad nights sleep last night... I put it down to a lack of real good coffee... so off I went to Dukes at lunchtime for another fantastic lunch, a coffee fix, a yummy cake and some great atmosphere and artwork... what better way to set myself up for a hard afternoons work, a musical night at The Globe, and a really good night's sleep!! Great stuff!

We popped in to this lovely little café for a light lunch. Good places have short menus which means everything is fresh and delicious. Even so, we were spoilt for choice as all items were so tempting. I had halloumi with salad. The leaves were lightly dressed with a delicious vinaigrette and it came with a hot pitta.

Windy & rainy day brightened up by excellent food and coffee. Wide range of vegetarian food, cakes and some nice artwork on the walls - definitely worth a visit

My family and I came to Dukes for coffee and cakes after reading the good reviews. We were certainly not disappointed. The coffee was fantastic - the menu invited us to say how we wanted it, I asked for flat white and it was superb. And I would say that the cakes were some of the best I have ever had. The games were a nice touch which helped to keep our kids occupied while we enjoyed the wonderful coffee and cake. The one downside is the toilet which is round the back (you have to go outside into the street and back into a yard). Having said that the toilet was clean and supplied with soap etc but a bit basic. I would go back in a heartbeat if in Glossop again.

We've been staying in Glossop for a few weeks now and stumbled across this cutie in the High St East just off the town centre and to our great delight we had the most amazing coffee. We always like to search out good coffee shops on our travels and this little beauty filled our need as the coffee they use (Union Roast) is an excellent coffee. The cafe itself is a delightful place with lots of interesting wall art and lighting (check out the light shades over the counter) very original.The menu is good with lots of choice and the cakes look delicious however it's the coffee that really makes the place a must to visit-enjoy!!!

Good food here but need to open earlier, icaome into town on saturday and would go here for breakfast but miss out as they dont open till 10. Fresh bread nice sat sages and good range of cakes

After just moving to Glossop I took my parents round the town and we stopped off for coffee. This quaint cafe has a brilliant atmosphere, very friendly and fantastic artwork on display. My dad had the Carrot cake which he said was the best he has had in ages.

A really great small independent cafe in Glossop. Service and food always excellent. Really nice spot near the centre of town. I thoroughly recommend it. They serve Union coffee which is the best coffee in town.

The service and atmosphere are great as it the food. I move the CD case menu and all the art on the walls. The burger was also very tasty! The home made cakes are also not to be missed.

Very nice we had two Capuchino Coffee's and the Crunchy Tuna and Cheese and onion toastie, both came with salad and dressing. Very nice and tasty. Would recommend and re visit.

One of the few places one can get a decent decaf. I checked that it was decaf as it tasted too good! Proper barista and proper beans make it a place I'd go back to. The only seat option left was hard on my skinny bum tbh but wouldn't put me off. This is partly why it is a 4 star alongside the loo situation. While it is clean, it is outside and so is cold and basic. Don't let it out you off though just be aware beforehand. That's the beauty of reviews!

Nice place with nice food and the cakes and coffee are tasty, stayed for quite a while as so comfortable

I was hunting for a nice place for breakfast in Glossop, as we were dropping off a DofE team for their practice Gold expedition....and I was intrigued by a recent review (in a hint of Goldilocks-style) telling me that Dukes was "okay".

Sat outside and watched the world go by while eating a homemade coffee cake and drinking the sort of marvelous coffee the like of which I have never had anywhere else. ( This is a good thing by the way).

There was nothing particularly wrong with this place but nothing particularly right either. Not a particularly comfortable place to eat/drink and a slightly bizarre menu. Sad to say I won't be revisiting although some may love it for its 'quirkiness'.

Raining and cole, needed a cuppa to dry out and warm up. Had pot of tea and toast. Presented beautifully . Little milk bottle, home made jam and good bread. Good price. Basic food served and presented well.

A little gem, if a little small inside. Excellent service, good cakes and food and excellent coffee. The owners clearly take a pride in their enterprise. A nice addition, some excellent art by local artists always in display on the walls. Highly recommended.

We stopped off in Glossop on our way home to Hertfordshire. What a lovely cafe! Best coffee I've had in a while. And very friendly staff. Even some games on the window sill right by our table where we sat.

Dukes is always our first choice for morning coffee/tea and the occasional lunch. The coffee is first-rate and the home-made cakes are out of this world. But what also makes Dukes the best in Glossop is the relaxed atmosphere and friendly service in lovely surroundings - painting on the walls by local artists. It's a small cafe so can get crowded but we have always managed to get a table. Don't miss - it's worth the little walk from the main shops.

The visit was worthwhile , nice Hot ! Chocolate , piece of cake and ambiance. Meet customers that I knew , and Staff polite . If this outlet was larger many people will visit. Well Done..Michael

Read about this little place on trip advisor. Gave it a try last Wednesday. It's only small, but it's lovely. Had a smashing lunch followed by yummy cake and truly great coffee. Will definitely visit again. Really enjoyed it. Thank you.

This place is rightly attracting some great comments. Friendly team, relaxed environment and a superb coffee (and sausage sandwich too!) made this an uplifting morning break! Highly recommended.

Had Greggs and Costa to choose but thought try an independent place. Was not disappointed. The menu looked very varied. Excellent, would definitely return if back in Glossop.

We visited Glossop this afternoon and found this excellent independent coffee shop (we normally try to avoid the chains!) on the main street. The coffee was superb: the ethically produced Union brand. Excellent range of cakes and tray bakes (we had a sumptuous, full-bodied Victoria sponge) and the staff friendly, but not pushy. Hopefully, we'll return to sample the lunches, which are highly praised elsewhere on the site.

Cyclists are renowned for loving a good coffee and I knew there was the dreaded Costa in glossop but I always try to search out a great independent coffee shop and having noticed it passing in the car a few times it was the ideal opportunity to try.

Of the two places that serve excellent coffee in Glossop this is the best one to get a slice of cake or a bite to eat. I particularly enjoyed a homemade ginger cake. The music theme of cafe is also good fun if you are into indy, rock, etc.

Stopped off for a coffee. Pleasant staff, cozy surrounds and great coffee. The cakes looked good. Definitely worth a visit.

Amazing coffee and cakes made by people who genuinely care! Highly recommend Dukes to everyone in the area.

I love the food here!being gluten free can be a real pain and menu choices can often be very limited, but HERE!!! there is so much choice, all food is freshly prepared to a high standard, tasty and extremely well priced. this is my favourite place in Glossop for lunch and coffee. Very friendly staff , It's a popular place and quite rightly so. well done.

Not being familiar with this area we stopped off at Dukes having enjoyed a beautiful drive through Snake Pass. This small cafe is snug and welcoming and offers delicious homemade soup, hearty sandwiches and probably the best cup of coffee we've had in ages. There are board games to pass the time and some great local works of art on the wall. If you're in the area it's worth stopping by.

Had a fabulous lunch today - presentation was that good i had to take a photo - and the taste lived up to the Visuals. Well done team Dukes - you never cease to impress. Mushrooms - topped with goats cheese and sundried tomatoes.

We visited here for the first time yesterday and we were not disappointed. We called in for a hot drink and then got tempted to have a cake each . The staff were lovely and welcoming and it was no trouble that we had a pushchair with us. Nice to visit an independent cafe rather than a 'chain ' we would definitely visit again. The prices were good too.

Dukes is always my first choice for a coffee or afternoon tea in Glossop. Not only are the coffees, teas and cakes tip-top but the staff are unfailingly welcoming and pleasant. You only have to raise an eyebrow and they know you want something and come to your table. Otherwise, they leave you in peace. We stayed on for lunch on one occasion and were equally happy with the lunch menu. Reasonable prices and far friendlier than most other cafes in the town.
