Eat at No.5 in High Peak

A very welcoming small cafe with a big range of excellent appetising options. We separately sampled very tasty bacon and sausage cobs with equally good coffees. We saw the range of sandwiches and paninis, soups, and cakes available too. All these are home made in house. The locals clearly know it is the best around as it was busy with take aways too. We are tourists and will certainly come again when we are next in the area

Had a buffet arranged through work at short notice, the food was amazing, one of the best buffets I’ve ever had. Top quality food at a reasonable price. Would highly recommend and the staff are lovely and friendly too.

Had breakfast durimg a stopover in Buxton. Full English breakfast using great quality meats cooked with real attention to detail. Nice coffee too. Would reccommend to anyone with a pulse and an appetite!

Lovely friendly atmosphere with great food. We had full English and the poached eggs and avocado and both were fab. Throughly recommend it if you are in Buxton or passing through.

Fantastic little eatery in Buxton. We got a really friendly welcome when we arrived. Very large choice of sandwiches, rolls, cakes, teas and coffees. They also have three daily specials (change every day) - I opted for one - chicken tikka in toasted naan bread - it was so tasty and really filling. It came with a superb mixed salad. They have a couple of inside tables which we sat at. Overall it’s a cracking place, great food, good value and everyone who works there is super friendly. We 100% recommend, you won’t be disappointed.

Lovely lunch. Made to order. Found this place on TripAdvisor. Well worth a visit. It has earned its #1 spot. Staff were also very knowledgeable about local attractions as we're here on a short break.

How good to find a cafe where the food is all prepared on site and in view. Most of the trade is takeaway but we were able to reserve 2 seats for lunch and enjoyed the lavish Hippy and Coronation Chicken salads. The proprietors could not have been more welcoming. Highly recommend and thank you. Only location prevented 5 stars to us.

In Buxton for a few days on a room only basis. So seeking out good breakfast spots. After reading reviews of Eat@ No5 I walked up this morning. So glad I did. Mark greeted me and took my order for a Full English breakfast with Americano. Both excellent, both hot, so important. Great quality food and the Deli items look delicious too. Nice chatting to you Mark, you deserve to do well.

Very nice food served . Lady seems grumpy that your there but the guy very friendly . Would come back for food !

Had the Texas Panini and Caesar salad.. Absolutely fantastic. 3rd visit this week. (the Kinder brownies are ace)

Best beef salad I have ever had!! So fresh and tasty, thank you! Highly recommend Thank you will definitely be back!!

I had a large mixed salad box and slice of chocolate fudge cake, both were absolutely amazing, so many lovely flavours in the salad and the cake was so light and delicious, will definitely go back and recommend

Great friendly service and tasty fresh food. Shame there is no indoor seating at the moment but that is not their fault. Sanitiser available by the door and plenty of room inside the shop to social distance.

Read the rave reviews so felt time to try eat at No 5 ... sadly not that good , wife's salad was fine and I ordered a BLT with mayo ... not sure where the idea mature cheese should be added and become the overriding flavour and worst of all not only did I not expect cheese to be on a Bacon Lettuce and Tomato sandwich I don't eat strong cheese so sadly was a waste of money... a bit like ordering a cheese sandwich and finding bacon in the middle of it... Can't recommend on my visit as my opinion is only based on my visit.

Breakfast was lovely and there was lots to choose from. My friends and I sat outside and kept popping back in for drinks and some sweet treats as they looked so good. Service was brilliant - really friendly! Would definitely recommend.

Amazing staff and the food is great, although outdoor seating so bring a jacket. Recommend the cakes

What a gem. Situated on a busy crossroads, we sat outside watching the world go by,and had great coffees while waiting for our take away salads. Absolutely delicious food and genuinely kind and friendly service.

Lovely service, and even better food, highly recommend for lunch. They do frozen food for dinners that my family and I can’t wait to have later !!

Wonderful large bacon bap and pot of tea for less than a fiver! Thank you, delicious! Will revisit again.

I travel the country for work purposes and whilst in Buxton I popped into this well presented shop expecting a “butty shop”. This was far from it as for presentation, selection of foods and options of pre-prepared evening meals to go.. it was amazing. As a business owner myself the attention to detail put into this business was great to see. Even having a menu display of a taste of the worlds foods with corresponding ideas for lunch etc.. just great. As you can tell from my EXTREMELY positive feedback the hot hunters chicken on a seeded balm was so tasty! Overall very satisfied, it’s a shame I live 70Miles away or I would be a regular.

Noticed on passing it was not only open, but breakfast time too. So, a coffee and a bacon sandwich was purchased, and devoured on the tables outside. Utter bliss after the lock down.The couple in front of me were buying a wonderful looking take away picnic. That'll be a purchase as soon as the nice weather returns

I come here regularly as I work round the corner so find that it’s easy and quick. Great choice of food on offer, to tailor to everyone’s needs. They do quick to go salads, you choose what you want, to warm pies and even home made ready meals and cakes. The customer service I receive from the couple who own it is really good, very friendly and we always have a bit of a chat. Not too bad price wise either.

Crazy times right now and I’d missed this place...well it’s takeaway only,though there ARE seats outside...they do frozen meals to take home and what can I say? they are lovely..the lasagna is massive ,delicious and really good value..the cakes are a welcome reminder of good times and I for one would like to see this jewel of a place open normally...

When this place is open we don't eat anywhere else. So much so we always phone to book a table for breakfast otherwise we may not get one and be disappointed. The only down side is it's very small but if you book you are guaranteed food heaven. The staff are very friendly and all food is prepared with fresh high quality local ingredients.

Everything about it was perfect, something for everyone. Food was to die for, super friendly. Will Defiantly be returning x

Delicious food, lovely service, very relaxing. Tasty dairy produce and some interesting vegan choices, very tempted to try them even though I'm not vegan 😁

We called in here this morning for our early morning breakfast treat whilst on a visit to the Peak District.Welcomed by a gent..the owner we guessed? Ordered a latte each...heaven...big glass mug, very hot, just right.I had a full English and my wife had salmon, scrambled eggs, toast and avocado.IT WAS DELICIOUS.....The deli counter was rammed with all sorts of savouries, cakes, salads and ....well....everything I like ! ...excellent fresh food.We spent a lot on take away food , but We were very happy...Nice little place to eat ....we will definitely go back .Thank you both.

Came here for lunch on a cold wet day based on reviews. We were not disappointed. Great food and a lovely warm welcome. Enjoyed the soup and the paninis. Excellent.

3 of us ate here February 2020. The staff made us feel very welcome and catered to some slightly off menu requirements. The vegetarian and vegan choices were great and all the food we ordered tasted AMAZING. I would definitely recommend giving it a try (in fact I already have). Next time I'm in the area I will have to go back to try some more of the menu.

Service - Top Notch Ambiance - Top Notch Even bought some things for tea, after we had arrived home.

Beautiful food in a cozy space. Fantastic service. Lots of options that cater for all. Will definitely recommend and return!

This is a great place to eat lunch or breakfast, but I also call in here before travelling to London I call in here for takeaway breakfast and coffee. I have never had any food that isn't the best ever. The atmosphere is that nothing is too much trouble. Always a smile awaiting you.

We were thrilled that Dave and Barbara decided to open on the Monday before Christmas. We booked a table well in advance so we were sure to have a place to sit and enjoy delicious food together. We were certainly not disappointed!

Best Cafe in buxton! Excellent selection of healthy and naughty foods! Great service! Everything from hot foods, salads and desserts ❤️🙏🏽

I have been having my working lunch from No 5 for the last 2 years and have NEVER been disappointed.I only feel sad when they very occasionally close - no where else comes close in Buxton.Thank You for making such scrummy home made food.

What a lovely and friendly place to enjoy delicious food with enthusiastic owners and a wide choice of homemade eat in or take away food on offer. Excellent value for money and gluten free menu suited us. Do visit, you will not be disappointed.

We had our breakfast here on a very wet morning. The staff were very friendly and the cafe very clean. Our breakfasts were really good and the coffee excellent. The food in the chiller as in salads etc looked very good. Definitely worth going to.

We stopped in for a family lunch. Buddha bowl was delicious- I could eat for every meal. Pulled pork bap was excellent as were the sundae and sticky toffee puddings. Very cheerful owners. Quite small inside but we were fortunate to get a table. Lots of locals buying their takeout lunch.

I called into the place just for morning tea when I was going to buy bread next door. I chose a flapjack to have with the tea and the portion was generous, so I thought I might have to take some home in a napkin. In fact it tasted so good that I ate the lot without meaning to. Friendly atmosphere, people popping in who seemed to be regulars, and pleasant music playing. I glanced at the menu and saw they dud dishes like homemade hummus, so I plan to go back to try that. Just down a small de street of the main shopping road next to the artisan bakery. I noticed that they are dog friendly too so may call in with my furry friend.

No.5 is our favourite go-to place for lunch in Buxton. Such a large array of goodies and home made food. My favourite is the cream of chicken soup, which unfortunately is only available in winter! Despite the fact, that there is little parking nearby and not a lot of seating, we have, thankfully, always managed to get in. Thoroughly recommended.

A warm friendly family run business with food to really delight in all it's glorious range. The staff are really helpful and make you feel very welcome. It's a must for anyone visiting Buxton and if you live in Buxton and have never been... Where have you been?! Get down there and get there quick if you want a table as there are only a couple but a take-out allows you the pleasure to take this homely food home.

The staff are super friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere is inviting and cozy. My scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly and the serve was big. I also took away some home made flapjack, which is the best I've ever had.

Parking may be an issue for some, but this is a place you simply MUST make the effort to visit if you're in town. The staff are the friendliest around and the food is just superb and excellent value for money.

Apart from the lack of nearby parking this is a great café and one of the best bacon butties in town.

We love this little cafe. Its only small but the food is always really nice. The staff cant do enough for you and are very friendly. As its only small (3 tables) we suggest you book. Cant say how much we love this little place.

Cute little cafe with delicious food. The staff were extreamly friendly, it's a lovely environment. We will definitely return after our trip to New Zealand. Thank you

Best lunch in ages. Lots of choice & good size portions. We will have to go back to try more. The staff were really friendly & the service excellent.

Barbara and the team greeted us at the door, gave us a table outside and checked on us regularly. The salad portions were great; my partner didn’t even manage to finish her Buddha bowel as it was so generous. Shame we live so far away as we’d be back regularly given the chance.

The staff are friendly. Menu is wonderful! Food is amazing!! I don't know what else to put!!! Amazing place guys

My mum and I came here based on the reviews and were so glad we did. Our breakfast was fantastic and the owners were so friendly :)

Having noticed this cafe on my way out of Buxton and read subsequently the Trip Advisor reviews, I decided to visit for lunch. Despite the food choice covering a wide range, all of it is prepared to order and is deliciously fresh. As with other visitors, my dish was accompanied with a number of salads (rice, pasta, bean, leaves) and home-made dressings. Everything I ate was extremely tasty. The cafe is nicely decorated and provides free WiFi. What topped it off was the friendly approach of the owners - not just with me but with everyone that visited whether they were sitting in or ordering food for takeaway. It is easy to see why people would return here - it was a pleasure to eat here.

First thing you notice is the cleanliness spotless but not chemically clean. Next, a cheery welcome and a smiley face. The coffee was lovely, served in a big cup with a chocolate delicately balanced on the spoon. Such attention to detail makes this eatery a delight, there were even books dotted around for you to enjoy while you visited. The cake I tried was an "Easy ass chocolate and raspberry", the cake was moist and chocolatey but very rich with both icing and buttercream but other than that a lovely pace to meet and eat!

We had a great spot of lunch at No.5. We shared the halloumi wrap and the homity pie. Both came with a lovely fresh salad selection and homemade dressing. The homity pie was seriously good!

Every now and again you come across a cafe which has everything that tick your boxes. Eat at No 5 has the lot, great food, fabulous coffee and friendly and engaging staff. I am in recovery mode after a recent foot operation and we were made very welcome and no problem with propping my foot up on a chair. The sandwhiches we had were the best and great value for money, with a varied salad and nice crisps. Would I recommend eating here, definetely, no problem, get your skates on and enjoy great food plus a really nice atmosphere!

Well this place was a welcome retreat! Wonderful breakfast from a lovely couple. They offer a great selection of home made treats. We had breakfast before setting off to explore Buxton. Recommend this local gem!

Live locally so eaten here a few times , never disappoints! All food I’ve tried has been really tasty and good value. Salads are excellent, not just the usual lettuce ,tomato and cucumber! Homemade dressings on the side too. Quite small inside though seating outside too if weather permits. Take outs available. Last time there tried the fruit teas that were beautifully presented and tasted good too !

Loved this place. Headed there as we were in Buxton for the day and saw the great reviews. This little place was perfect for us. There were loads of great veggie options and the food was just gorgeous with large portions that justified the prices. The service was great too, both staff were really friendly. It might be a struggle to get a seat at lunch time though as there are only three indoor tables. Lots of locals seemed to be calling in for food to take away which is always a good sign.

Mmy wife, middle daughter and I had lunch at No 5 on a scorching hot day, and I can honestly say that it was the best cafe meal I have ever eaten:- frittata followed by bread and butter pudding I would definitely go back

Stumbled across this gem of a cafe and what a find. Delicious food and super attentive staff. Thank you all.

Excellent breakfast here on our recent stay in Buxton. Absolutely delicious. Lots of choice. Vegetarian/vegan options too. Also bought some take away food for our picnic at Chatsworth . 10/10.

My partner and I thought this was going to be a same old cafe that serve same old sandwich as so on. Boy were we wrong! We had the chilli beef sandwich with salad and our mouths were like it had fireworks in them, it was one of the best meals I have EVER tasted in my life honestly. This place is too good for BUXTON!!!! I cant remember the ladys name who own its but she should be on master chef or something, the flavours she invented and used in her food and sauce and salad and everything is incredible. Thank you so much for such a lovely experience. Her sticky toffee pudding was incredibly good and a very large portion. Incredible. Her husband was a nice polite man also.

Another really enjoyable sneaky lunch. Beetroot wraps were inspirational, and so tasty with falafel and a whole range of delicious salads. Exceeding expectations again, number 5, thank you 😊

We were staying for a week in a rented barn conversion to visit our new born granddaughter. We decided to eat out and not use the facilities of the accommodation. We ate at five different places for breakfast ( full English )- all unreasonably local to Buxton and varying from greasy spoon upwards as a mini competition to find the best place. Eat at No 5 came out top for service, ambiance and quality of food. It is only very small but well worth a visit.

Excellent service combined with very good freshly made food, even the Tea came in a good size China pot with proper cups.

Just stumbled upon this little gem and so glad we did. ! Working in Buxton for the week and staying in the premiere inn. Would highly recommend this charming little place . The owners are lovely and everything is home made ( even the salad dressings). The breakfasts were great with top quality ingredients freshly cooked. Great menu choices and fantastic home made cakes! Try the mysteriously named"Eric" an invention of the owner and to die for!!

Just stumbled across this cafe and so glad we did. Really gorgeous food and friendly atmosphere. Considering moving here just for this cafe!

my grandson and I both enjoyed or meal and the food was thoughtful and fresh. we shared vegan and non vegan food all served, at the right price.

Popped in for breakfast. I had the bacon and sausage bab and my sister had poached eggs on toast. Both of the items were excellent and you could tell the produce used was fresh and we found out sourced locally. It might sound simple a sausage and bacon bab, but this was next level. The interior was very tastefully done and the owner was great and made us feel very welcome. If I lived locally I would be a very frequent visitor. Do you do deliveries to Peterborough?

Large variety of interesting vegan options! We had the avocado which came with an amazing mixture of salads, beans, and dips. Nice to try something different - very different to anything we've had before and it all worked so well together. Super friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend.

If I could give their full English six stars I would,very tasty, cooked perfectly and served on a hot plate.

I have discovered this place a few weeks ago and keep coming back for more since. Great selection of meals with amazing vegan and vegetarian options that you can also alter to your own preference. The portion sizes are also perfect and full of variety. Friendly and attentive service too. Highly recommend for anyone!

We were staying over in Buxton and wanted a breakfast...Eat at No 5 is a charming little place, we were made very welcome and the lady that served us was very friendly. We both had the English breakfast and it was cooked to perfection...we couldn’t fault a thing. I didn’t want the black pudding or tomato and was given an extra rasher of bacon which was a nice touch. The food in the deli style counter looked delicious...I had a slice of carrot cake to take home which was very tasty.

Great little cafe, not many tables though! fresh coffee and all food fresh and homemade, the full English will keep you going all day,

great food and drink love the staff and how friendly they were ... prices are great atmosphere is perfect next time i take my book with me and sit and relax .... keep doing what your doing xx

An unassuming place that was empty when we first arrived. Really friendly staff that were very attentive. Tea, coffee, full English and oat cakes with bacon later the place was full ! Highly recommended!

Slap up full on full Englsih breakfast at this lovely little traditionall cafe. (We were on a wander in Derbyshire) Good ingredients and very flavoursome. Obviously a popluar spot from the array of locals and by passers that popped in. Great spot.

I love to have lunch here with my friends it’s a great little place. Foods fabulous all home made and healthy too. Cakes are to die for too. Lots of choice. Great service.

Visited this lovely cafe on a rainy afternoon in Buxton, and had the most deliciously creamy and tasty mushroom soup I've ever experienced. It is such a friendly and welcoming place and obviously very popular with locals too. We'll be sure to return when we are in Buxton again.

Very friendly people in a family run business. All homemade food at very reasonable prices. I had a Sausage and bacon white roll, my wife had an omelette. Both very recommended. Absolutely delicious. Definitely worth a visit when in Buxton.

This was easily our best Buxton breakfast!. Thick slices of tasty toast, perfectly cooked scrambled and poached eggs, black pudding cooked just right - not overdone!. Very nice host - pity it’s closed on Saturday or we’d definitely been in again

Mine was 3 Derbyshire oatcakes with 3 rashers, 2 eggs and maple syrup. Look hoe the bacon is grilled so the small amount of fat is crispy. Look how the eggs are very fresh and perfectly fried.

We regularly come in here for lunch on a Friday. The food is great and all homemade. The staff are super friendly and really helpful.

I popped in here for a snack. I got a very warm and friendly welcome. I just had a coronation chicken bun with salad. It was excellent. Thank you very much

Buxton is quite spread out with a lot of the more obvious attractions on one side of the hill, and the market square on-top of the hill - but Eat at No. 5 is hidden away a little, on the less "touristy"side of the hill, and well worth seeking out.

We were staying at the Premier Inn in Buxton and decided to not have breakfast there but to investigate some local cafes. What a good decision that was as we discovered Eat at No5. In my opinion the full English Breakfast that they prepared was the best that I have had in a long time. The secret is that they use high quality ingredients and everything is cooked fresh. Needless to say this means that there can be a longer wait than one might usually expect but that is a small price to pay.

Called in on spec as was passing through. Best full English breakfast I have had for years. Quality ingredients, perfectly cooked and served with a smile. I would give it 6 out of 5 if I could. Good vegetarian selection for 'she who must be obeyed' too! Simply superb.

A breath of fresh air to Buxton this cafe serves delicious breakfasts and excellent coffee. As a first time visitor to Buxton this was a gem of a find and not to be missed!

Had a gorgeous breakfast this morning at this lovely friendly café- great smiley service and delicious food 😊

Called in for lunch, after reading TA reviews and always look for a local business to support when visiting on holiday. After a walk, up the hill, to Higher Buxton we found this lovely cafe. Luckily we got a table for lunch, as it was quiet. We ordered a Buddha bowl and grilled halloumi, it was delicious. All freshly prepared and very healthy served with a lovely homemade dressing. Whilst we where there it got very busy with lots of people ordering food to go.

We had breakfast here on the last morning of our stay in Buxton and wish we had tried this place sooner. There are only a few tables and we were lucky enough to get a seat. The breakfast was cooked fresh to order and was delicious, and the deli counter looked very tempting. Would highly recommend and will aim to eat here again on our next trip to Buxton.

We have been using No. 5 for quite a while now on our weekly visit to Buxton, but have never been early enough for breakfast. This week, however, we made a point of getting there in time for breakfast. It was just as I thought it would be, excellent; super quality ingredients - just perfect, especially with their great coffee. Will be getting there early in future!

Great cafe, cracking breakfast at a good price. Fast service and friendly. Quite small and parking was tricky but worth the walk.

Tiny place amazing food....never left here disappointed...homemade gorgeous grub....and such a friendly couple who run it...

Visited Eat at No 5 with my Mum for lunch this week. Thoroughly enjoyed our pot of tea and paninis - delicious! Service was great and staff were very friendly. Great little cafe with really tasy homemade food.

My husband and I went for breakfast this morning after reading reviews on trip advisor. So very pleased we did. Very clean, lovely friendly lady served us and the food was excellent. Food was fresh and very well presented and very tasty. We sat in for our breakfast and hubby bought cake to bring home. Outside seating too. No greasy spoon here. If you enjoy a clean cafe, good food and friendly, helpful service, tthen this is the place to go.

Great little cafe. Service was excellent, very friendly family run business. Nothing was too much trouble and the food is home cooked, fresh and delicious. Highly recommend a visit.

Amazing breakfast local good quality produce, extremely friendly host a good range of deli cake products as well !

I always try if I've got time in my lunch break to come here as it's the best place! I had The Buddha Bowl recently, which was delicious! The tastiest salad bowl I've ever had! Excellent stop for food and drink! Very helpful staff!

Travelling through Buxton & time for lunch. With help from Tripadviser we found this wonderful cafe. We had delicious vegetarian meals - one a frittata & one a homity pie both with salads. A really lovely & welcoming place, not only excellent home-cooked food but very friendly & helpful owners. Fabulous - lucky Buxton!

Number 5 is incredible. Such a lovely couple. A very nice atmosphere every time I go in. Everything is home made. You’d be stupid to leave with out a cake! The full English is amazing. Not greasy at all, you even get lurpack! All salads, pies and quiches are gorgeous. If you want breakfast or lunch it’s very reasonably priced, very cosy and you can eat outside!
