We had lunch here with the dog. VERY dog friendly, they even did a pot of ham for my dog. I had ham egg and chips….BEST I have had ! My wife had chili jacket potato. Both were great. The Cappuchino was big enough to swim in !! In a competitive Ashbourne.!give here a go and you will not be disappointed

Visited for the first time today and can honestly say the food and service was excellent. We had brunch, the large breakfast was well worth the money and the poached eggs were lovely and runny just as they should be. Thank you for a lovely brunch. The cafe was clean, tidy and the toilet was clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back.

Table not wiped. Poached eggs extremely snotty. This was rectified but they shouldn’t come out like that. No butter on muffins and only in the very centre of my bacon cob. Not nearly as nice as it used to be and rather expensive.

I was her with my Wife and my Dog. Its a cafe normally not much to talk about but this place is very nuch talking about. First off this place is super dog friendly a big tick. I ordered the ham egg and chips. Omg wow the ham was real cooked ham not some junk from a packet, totally superb yummy egg and crispy chips just lovely. This was my first trip to derbyshire, it will not be my lastm its a great place and go to Bakwell after and enjoy.

Good site, with a pleasant view of the square & fair decor. Welcome and service was excellent. The full breakfast was well prepared, but not what I'd call generous either at the price or compared to most other full breakfasts. Nothing wrong with the place, but only the service said 'I must come back'.

Breakfast on a Saturday morning did not disappoint. My son had a fantastic bacon sandwich- lovely fresh soft bread, generous slices. I had the eggs florentine, lovely hollandaise sauce eggs were well cooked and spinach. Served on toast rather than English muffin but very tasty. It isn’t the cheapest for breakfast in Ashbourne but is well cooked with good ingredients. Staff were attentive and food was prom. Will return

Friends Cafe provides everything you might expect from a cafe. Good coffee and delicious cakes. Plus a range of hot and cold drinks including alcoholic drinks. But the specials menu takes the cafe experience up a couple of notches. It may not be a huge menu but it delivers bistro quality food. We ate there twice during our week in the area.I’d be surprised if there’s a better cafe in Ashbourne.

I don’t know if I’m more offended by the price or by how the ‘chef’ makes his ‘scrambled egg’ £17 British pounds for a full English with a latte. They charged me extra for scrambled egg as well because they use 3 eggs instead of 2 lol. The eggs probably the worst I’ve ever had right ingredients creme fraiche chive but they’d been cooked on far too high a heat and it’s been served like two fried eggs whisked up with a fork. If you’re charging people extra do better. Sausages cheap rubbish, bacon decent, 2 door stopper slices that bent the fork. SEVENTEEN BRITISH POUNDS 😂😂😂

The irony of someone so unfriendly working at a tearoom called Friends. Never, in my 31 years, have I been met by such a rude person as the waitress at this café. From our very first interaction with her we felt we had inconvenienced her when all we asked was “do we come inside to order”. She looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language when I’d ordered something off the specials, she got our drinks wrong and stared at us until we said “erm… can it be changed please?” Gave me a butter knife to cut a steak with and stood and stared at me. It was the most bizarre interaction I’ve ever had. Our table discussed between ourselves what was going on for her to be this unnecessarily rude. The food itself was good but none of our table will be returning due to this girl’s attitude. The dirty side eye looks we had from her were so confusing. Even on a very bad “someone has died” day, I’ve never been that rude to a stranger and certainly not a customer at my job. Perhaps she’s in the wrong profession or maybe needs to just sort herself out.

I was really hoping for the wholesome, home cooked food that the price tag promised. The bean casserole tasted like a tin of baked beans with a whole load of dried sage stirred in. The salad could have been bought in a bag at Asda. I won't be going back.

Fantastic cafe, the icing on the cake (no pun intended) being the birds feeding next to the window. The staff are friendly and efficient and the the food is of a good standard and reasonably priced. I can't understand the few negative reviews, maybe some folk have unfeasibly high standards/expectations?

I visited these tearooms with my daughters on Friday 24th May. I have been to other tea shops in Bakewell, but Toscas is by far the best. We had afternoon tea for three of us, we sat outside in the court yard. The afternoon tea arrived and there was lots of lovely cake and sandwiches, beautifully presented, and our host friendly and gave us a warm welcome. We really enjoyed our afternoon tea, very civilised, we will defiantly be visiting again. In fact we will have a day out to bakewell just to visit Toscas .

Lovely venue for a mid morning brunch, limited seating but such a pleasant cafe.
