A friendly greeting on arrival and shown to a table. This was our first visit so really didn’t know what to expect. A good varied menu and given plenty of time to decide even though it was quite busy on a Saturday lunchtime

Really great cafe, it has a very interesting interior, which makes you feel like it's somewhere special. The staff are very friendly and attentive and the food was excellent. They have a full range of a cafe style menu, just presented in a way that's slightly nicer than a lot of places.

Great busy little place. Friendly staff, took order quickly and it all came super quickly. Coffee was very good. Family with me equally enjoyed theirs. Had an Oreo tiffin which was delightful! Shame I live 300 miles away otherwise would make it a regular stop for sure!!

Decent food, I probably ordered the wrong meal for my liking, the breakfast muffin is like a macdonalds breakfast meal (I presume that's how it's supposed to be). My wife ordered poach eggs on toast which was fine. The atmosphere is good although the decor isn't great, brick effect wallpaper! Overall nothing to complain about. Excellent service as well.

I'll start by saying I was a bit reluctant to leave a review, but I feel I should. This has been a regular lunch spot when I meet with friends, and I have always enjoyed it. However today, I found a small piece of meat in my vegetarian wrap. I told the waitress and she apologized and took it to the chef. She then came back, and said the chef didn't know what it was and he was sorry.. that's it. I understand there is always a risk of cross contamination, but a "sorry" is not always enough. There was no offer of replacement, and despite the fact I couldn't eat it after that, they tried to charge me full price for it. I questioned it, and was was told it was up to the chef if I pay. In the end I was asked to pay half price for it, despite most of it being untouched. The atmosphere and food here is generally nice, but this was handled badly and really poor customer service. Coming from someone who has worked with food for many years, restaurants should know to take accountability for errors like these, and at least offer a replacement.

Popped in for breakfast this morning and experienced what is probably the best cup of coffee I've had in a cafe this year. It was made even better by the discovery of the breakfast (Mc) Muffin with hash browns. All this with efficient staff and great atmosphere, perfect & highly recommended!

Popped in here at the end of the day( Sunday) after walk on the Trans-Pennine Trail. We arrived at 3:45pm to find they were closing at 4pm and no longer serving unless take-away. This was fine but a shame.Interestingly, they told us a lot of people finish their walks around that time and look for coffee…. Seems a re-think of opening hours on a Sunday would be good, if allowed by law. Coffee was lovely and the flapjack we had was as good as we have ever had. They also operate a bar serving alcohol and the ambience in there was really good. A family business we would support if we lived locally.

My husband and I visited the cafe on Sunday. We both had the hummus and grilled vegetable wraps which we really enjoyed. This isn’t our first visit and we will definitely be visiting again!! The disappointment was the lack of attention by the staff. There were 4 front of house staff on duty and no-one came to check we were satisfied with our food, whether we wanted any extra drinks or dessert, nor did I see them visit any other table for service. Sadly your staff are doing you a dis-service and that’s why I’m going to the trouble of writing the review.

Had a facelift with new decor a bar and a strange glass panelling bit around the toilet. Would be great if they were an evening meal place but the still remain very much a cafe in food offerings and opening hours (shut at 3?) Had a pump label for belgian blue on (am Xmas beer?l) No menus on tables got up to ask, staff stood behind the counter chatting. I was stood waiting to ask someone for help and someone walked straight past after watching me get up from the table. Place was busy, but I wouldn't say it's special. Its stuck between a evening/daytime establishment with young staff. Very typical Cafe food.

Fabulous 👍. Called In after a long bike journey up the Trans Pennine Trail with my wife. We are both Vegans, I had the Vegan sausage sandwich, which is to die for. Beautiful atmosphere, was very busy when we called and buzzing. One thing to say, the background music needs to be more chilled and slightly louder (I would recommend a little modern jazz for such a brilliant place) 😊👍

We visited today (Saturday) for a hearty lunch on a rainy day. The place was full of locals enjoying everything from meals, a catch up brew with friends and young people enjoying a hot drink and cake. Our food was lovely. Staff very friendly. Both our children and hubby left very happy! There are other cafes in the area. I must say the seating, lighting and cleanliness of this place beats most.

Visited for a lunch with a friend. Hardly anyone in there so lacking in any atmosphere. Had a sandwich and cake. Very average food. In no way blown away by it. Paid £8 for a tuna sandwich which was just that, no frills. Not sure where it gets the high reviews from. I won’t be bothering again.

Nipped in here for a bit of lunch on a quiet Wednesday afternoon. The staff weren’t helpful and took very long to serve us, weird when there was just us and another couple in there. It was £8 for a sandwich. The bread was stale. Portions were small, just a side of a few rocket leaves and wasn’t worth the price at all. We also ordered the fruit cake which was okay but again small for the ugh price you pay. Not much ambience to the place, noisy by the main road so not the best atmosphere. Wouldn’t recommend, nicer places to go in Penistone worth more for what you pay.

A lovely cafe. It's probably not the cheapest in town, but I expect it's the best. Eggs florentine for me, and a half sausage / half bacon bun for wifey - not on the menu, but she couldn't decide, and they accommodated. I've never seen a blondie before, but now I'm a fan. (It's like a chocolate brownie except it's blonde, bot brunette.)

We were early to board the Spirit to tassie and decided to go and have a drink and a bite to eatFirstly they didn’t have their own lager on tap so offered something else. We selected another option and then they came back to say that wasn’t available either so third time lucky with the beer.Then we waited over half an hour for a few entree meals to come out. Then was told they didn’t have one anymore and would we like something else.The food was average at best.I know it is a peak period and things run out but make sure you know what is and isn’t availableThey did give us a discount and apologise. The team tried with the service unfortunately the stock management let them down and the food needs some serious flavour injection

I ate every last crumb, but when the bill came I was expecting it to be around 30 or 35 it came and said forty it was that bad I felt like eating that aswell which I did eventually.
