F' Coffee in Derbyshire Dales

Liked it a lot. Ginger flapjack? A splendid idea! Tasted delicious. Great pot of tea, nice feel to the place, friendly service. Let us charitably assume the name of the cafe is an abbreviation of "For coffee" and not a subliminal insult to tourists..... ! Great place.

Delicious brownies for us and the coffees were top notch too. The children’s chocolate milkshakes were generous servings but a little too sweet. Slightly slow service but well priced.

Cosy little location which offered brilliant food to all of my friends and were able to accommodate to their dietary needs. Typical brunch options offered with nice assortment of cakes

What a fab café. The food was amazing and so were the coffees. The place itself is so modern and edgy - right up our street, and the staff were really friendly too. We loved it so much we came here two days in a row for breakfast! We also bought a couple of brownies to takeaway and these were delicious too. The café was one of the highlights of our trip away. If we're ever nearby in the future, we'll definitely be back!!

One of the few places open in Ashbourne early in the week. The town seems to hibernate until Wednesday. I was recommended this coffee shop to try and enjoyed a super vegan sandwich. 3 out of 5 scored because dairy alternative milks are charged additionally, tables were sticky and when we arrived every empty table had not been cleared. Staff were bringing food orders upstairs and heading back down empty handed, whilst dirty cups and plates remained. Prices are a little steep too but quite possibly just a sign of the times.

Visited sevral times now, food and drink are amazing! Vast choice to pick from depending on when you are visiting😃

I’ve been before and never had problems. However this time I went it and it all started okay aside from the server Harriet being sharp with me. Then when my sister turned up Harriet told her, after her waiting over 10 minutes for a take out coffee (cafe was dead at the time) to control her child and what he had doing was very annoying. (3 year old little boy was waiting and got bored so was opening the letter box) my sister told her that what she said was rude and the server replied with she didn’t care. Then my sister went on to say her customer skills weren’t very good she then replied again with the fact she didn’t care. This went on for a while with the server replying to everything with ‘I don’t care’ My sister left feeling very annoyed the way she’d been spoken too. We will not be returning, especially with how we were treated and spoken to by what looked like the manager.

Harriett is the RUDEST staff member I've ever ever spoken too . Ordered a takeaway coffee which whilst waiting 2 other people got served before me so I was waiting a while , my little boy was getting restless opened the door a few times and went outside , Harriet said can he not touch the door as it's private property and muttered soemthing else under her breath to me , I said excuse me and she she keep your child under control ( so so rude ) I told her it was rude the way she spoke to me she said I DONT CARE, I then said other customers can hear the way your speaking to me she then said I DONT CARE yet again . I'm surprised you have a business the way to speak to people . Don't work in a cafe if your so miserable with your life you have to speak to people in such an awful way . Your coffee is awful also can I add **

Been here a few times now. We would recommend great service and food is always top quality. We would highly recommend a breakfast here

Tables available inside at 2pm. Outdoor tables had all chairs folded in. Ordering was delayed as priority appeared to be given to take out orders, which totalled a quarter cost of our eat in total. Slow table clearing. Noisy in galley kitchen, made conversation difficult, as did clearing the tables. Tables did seem to be cleared and wiped down, but ours had a red gelatinous substance going right across it from food served earlier. Tea, coffee and cakes all arrived and were good. Crockery clean and in good condition. Toilet clean and spacious but opens directly onto cafe area with a single door, now permitted. This cafe could be so much more lively with a little more care with basics. The furniture gives a great theme, despite the chairs being very noisy while being moved across the floor. Despite this review, I would visit again, as the food is good, the cafe is in a convenient part of town and could be pleasant to sit outdoors in better weather. Second floor seating available. Loyalty card in operation. Very good range of shakes and hot beverages are available.

This cafe is situated close to the main car park in Ashbourne. We occupied the one vacant table at the small downstairs seating area, and later noted that there was further seating upstairs., We were advised that meals were not served on the day of our visit (Wednesdays) , which was OK as we were only looking for a coffee and snack. The cakes on offer did include a dairy free option which satisfied a dietary requirement. Orders are placed and served at the counter. The coffee and cakes represented very good value and the counter service was friendly and pleasant.

Walked past and went in as it looked so inviting. The hot chocolate, lattes and chai were fantastic. The cakes went down a treat with my partner and our little boy. The staff were really friendly and helpful while making our choices. We’ll definitely be back again. An absolute hidden gem!

Popular and busy cafe, find a table (more seating upstairs) and then order at the counter with a great choice of drinks/cakes, very good coffee served here.

We popped in for coffee on a very hot day and managed to grab a table outside. As we just wanted coffee, I never thought to look for a menu and none was offered by the busy staff. I was however tempted by the selection of brownies. I ordered coffee and a brownie, my husband just a coffee. When they came, there were 2 plates and two pieces of cutlery so that we could share the brownie - a really thoughtful touch. Both coffee and brownie were excellent. We enjoyed the visit so much we went back a few days later and discovered the lunch menu. So much choice! I had a roasted vegetable, cheese and chilli jam toastie, husband had avocado on toast with tomato, rocket, balsamic and chilli flakes. Both were outstanding. We had considered the fish finger sandwich but when we saw it delivered to another table, we were pleased we hadn't - it was huge, with a separate portion of mushy peas. Again the coffee was excellent and the smoothies looked good too. We will definitely be back on our next visit in Septembet,

We had brunch here on a Saturday and arrived at 12 noon when their breakfast menu becomes the lunch menu but they kindly allowed us to order from the breakfast menu. The scrambled egg on the sausage sandwich was the BEST ever - absolutely delicious. The salmon bagel was also delicious, as was the latte. Great friendly atmosphere in there with lovely seating in the sunshine outside. Highly recommend.

After waiting around 10mins for our coffee, we asked how long and was told rudely “it’s not instant coffee,it’s made to order.” Although made to order… it was vile and I’d rather drink Nescafé instant than than watered down rubbish. Best to walk to Bramhalls...

What a lovely, bright & fresh place to stop for coffee & cake on a wet Sunday morning, it was more than inviting!! Friendly service, great coffee & awesome cakes!!!!!

Not just perfect pit stop for coffee but other drinks too. The list of speciality milk shakes and hot chocolate is very tempting. Cakes also very tempting and tasty. Recommend the Spring Special Cappuccino with rose petals! Clean and tidy and friendly staff.

Coffee wasn't great, and customer service lacked a bit. Health and safety should also be looked at as the floor was wet. Good choice of food, cake and drinks though.

Ordered food as normal, I can assume the lady serving me was manager, when food come it was wrong. I politely said this wasn’t what I ordered…her reply was “what’s your problem” I honestly couldn’t believe how rude staff were as she stormed off and...

Cannot fault this cafe, Modern and aesthetically pleasing from the moment you walk in :) Menu had enough selection without being so much you worried about the quality. Staff were a pleasure, politely swapped rocket for roasted pepper on my avocado toast dish. Something that...

Friendly staff and efficient service. Really good food and good choice of drinks. Went with friends and we will be back.

I’ve been to this nice little coffee shop/restaurant a few times and previously had no problem. On a recent visit however I ordered pancakes which were thick and stodgy. Ok that can happen but when I pointed out to the waitress that they were not...

We visited for takeaway drinks, impressive as always and staff were very attentive! Will be back soon for outdoor seating!

Nice takeaway drink, need to go back when I can sit in to experience what I can imagine to be a lovely atmosphere.

Wow first time trying this place and have to say they serve the best coffee I've ever had. Lovely place and staff. Definitely going back again.

My current fave cafe, and has been for a while, so I really hope they can reopen soon! Good food, esp the cakes, and the best coffee.

Best brownie I’ve ever had with an amazing variety of drinks and the atmosphere was spot on. Plus the staff were very welcoming!

My friend and I were visiting Ashbourne for the day and enjoyed a leisurely lunch and glass of water. The tuna mayo and cheese toasty with salad garnish was delicious. Good service. Nice place to eat.

Friendly cafe and a great breakfast sandwich and cakes but sadly terrible coffee. I drink espresso so a bad coffee has no where to hide. This was too long and tasteless. They have a proper machine but someone needs to have a lesson in how...

Delicious Nutella hot chocolate and lovely coffee! The dreamiest hot chocolate - wish I could have visited again to try the other amazing flavours!

Popped in for breakfast to find out they don’t do breakfast, despite it saying so online. Decided to have drinks/cake instead, they had quite a few a things unavailable and forgot to bring the cake over so I had to go and ask for it....

Really good food. Quality ingredients - treated and presented well. It’s only a small place - they offer a great variety of cakes & we tried one each. Both were delicious- really well made with high quality ingredients. The coffee was high quality and well...

We had a lovely breakfast here yesterday Sat outside in sun! Great coffee’s Super kids breakfast! Going again today!

absolutely staggered it was blatantly obvious COVID restrictions DID NOT APPLY NO details taken ..... Staff failed to wear masks... SOCIAL DISTANCING ????.... just go to the local hardware shop for a tape measure TRUE, it was a BUSY lunch time.......... there was no excuse...

I've been here now several time, for breakfast and lunch. The food is spot on, fresh and good size portions. Served in good time by friendly staff who are more than happy to help. Becoming a regular to stop off and enjoy coffee and breakfast.

Probably one the most delicious mochas I’ve ever had! Great chilled out decor. Dog friendly and Covid aware

Called today and ordered coffee and a light lunch. My soya latte was very nice. Also ordered avocado on toast without butter or the protein additions offered as I am vegan an d they were not. Disappointing meal. Charged the full price of £7.95, lI...

First time visitor and would certainly call in again. Tasty sandwiches and spot on Cappuccino. Loved the dark choc chunky sprinkles.

Good service but food not as nice as it looked. Nice coffee shop in Ashbourne centre, it has an excellent selection of coffees and teas as well as milkshakes. I’ve had a great smooth coffee here but also a very bitter coffee here. I’ve also...

Four of us and a sausage dog ! popped in for lunch and we could not fault the food or service - the food was reasonably priced and the panini’s were very tasty. I would definitely recommend this cafe.

Today, we had a quick stop in Ashbourne and decided to try this new cafe. (New to us.) Staff were friendly and helpful. They didn't have drinks we wanted but apparently menu is changing so hopefully this will be sorted soon. I had a salad...

We always stop for coffee in Ashbourne, on our way to Lichfield to meet with family and this time had decided to try another coffee place, rather than our usual one. We ordered our coffee from a member of staff, who seemed quite distracted, maybe...

A great find.... The best Freakshakes ever!!!! The staff are soooooo polite and friendly. Don't walk past F Coffee - walk in!

Nice decor and I was impressed with my hot chocolate and black coffee. Clearly this place specialises in those instagram shakes designed to induce a diabetic coma, as they were clearly the drink of choice for most of the customers. The service was speedy too,...

My wife and I stopped for a quick coffee, but couldn't resist the cake. Good quality coffee and two large slices of Sticky Toffee cake and White Chocolate and Raspberry ! Excellent cake nice surroundings and good value.

We had an enjoyable visit late-morning, ordering a Hot Chocolate, Cappuccino and Americano. The staff were all very polite and kind, clearing and cleaning tables for us. The decor is really cool, and the covers on the chairs were really nice and comfy! Highly recommend a visit.

Stopped for lunch and had a range of panini's between us, dog friendly and friendly staff, lots of exciting drink options but they were too much for us when eating as well. The cakes also looked great

We popped in here at the weekend. The setting looked a little querky, some may say austere but the welcome from the staff behind the counter was very warm. The coffees we had were good and I'm a fussy coffee drinker. We also ate here and had two different meals. They were generous portions presented nicely and tasted very good. We'd go again if in Ashbourne.

Sunday staff need a swift kick up their backsides. On entrance to this establishment met by waitress who couldn't be bothered to make eye contact, was monosyllabic with her answers when asked about seating. Tables dirty and sticky. We had upstairs seat were a door was constantly banging when member of staff asked about it replied "oh it always does that" Would not enter that place again.

Breakfast is the best way to start the day, so one smashed avocado & a full English later is a fine way to kick of a busy day. The coffee was good to. Friendly staff, quick service in a lovely atmosphere.

Dropped in while shopping in Ashbourne and what a gem this is. First things first, you can go in with your dog, that gets my vote any day.

Have been a couple of times now for a coffee here. Very friendly service, selection of every non-dairy milk you could think of and very cool décor.

Decor may be a shock to the system it is very apocalyptic/street arty/funky/quirky but once you take it all in its well worth the effort. Small menu to choose from, breakfast was well cooked with very good ingredients, tasty and filling and loved the way it was served with excellent service from the staff.

Looking for quick lunch an took punt on F’coffee. Great service and food was fantastic. Sharing nachos was just right and the cakes were a must to follow! Would recommend if you in this town 👍

Popped in just for a coffee and a cake but serve meals as well. Coffees very nice and my friend very much liked her brownie. Reasonable prices for the middle of Ashbourne. Decoration quirky but very nice.

Looking at the mixed reviews another of these coffee shops got, it was with a little trepidation that we went into this one - shouldn’t have been worried! Great coffee and one of the best hot chocolates that my OH has ever had!

Popped in here for a quick bite, well impressed great coffee and lunch, hot panini's, interesting decor. The milk shake menu looked fantastic will be bringing the grandkids next time we are in Ashbourne. A big plus for us it was dog friendly

Popped in for lunch whilst doing a bit of retail shopping with my husband. This cafe looks so inviting from the outside and we certainly loved the quirky interior! My husband and I both ordered the chicken, bacon bbq panini with skinny fries and garlic mayo. Very tasty food in a relaxed atmosphere. The added benefit of having the choice of Yorkshire tea or various loose teas was perfect for me as I love loose tea. We will be coming back here for lunch.

Was not impressed at all, by this place. It was not particularly busy, but we waited 45 minutes for cake and coffee. We saw 2 couples leave, before their food arrived and 1 couple waited 20 minutes then left without anyone coming to take their order. When our order arrived, the coffee was, at best, luke warm and the cake was dry. Add to that the ridiculous price we paid..no certainly would not go again

Everything for a relaxing coffee. Quirky interior, upstairs a mix of formal seating and informal style well thought out. Relax and enjoy.

Second visit and just as good. Coffee good food is ok. All staff very friendly and helpful. Nice location. I like the decor. Will go again.

The decor is "individual" and not particularly to my taste, but I understand why it is as it is, which I believe is to be modern, different and memorable. That aside, the staff are very welcoming, accommodating and helpful, and they are dog-friendly, hurrah. The fare is very appealing and tasty, and they offer a diverse range of vegan and vegetarian food and drink to cater for those who suffer from allergies as well as those who prefer particular diets in addition to normal/regular options. If the ground floor's tables are fully occupied, there are also a range of seats and tables upstairs.

We went to this cafe on Sunday 9th December. We intentionally went in because they advertised that they made drinks with a variety of milk options, including Coconut and Almond.

Graffiti style logo in the wall white tables covered in black paint with pattens scratched through the paint all a little “edgy” for this older audience that had stumbled across this hidden gem.
