Hargreaves Edwardian Tea Rooms in High Peak

We have been regular visitors to Hargreaves prior to Covid, it's our favourite eatery in Buxton and always look forward to our visit. We visited yesterday and what a disappointment. What was once an " Edwardian " tea room , now looks more like a works canteen. My favourite colour is green, but the plain painted walls in a drab olive colour just doesn't work especially with no prints to break it up. Tableclothes seem to have disappeared and the lighting looks awful. Oh and they have fallen into the trap of PC "Unisex" loos. Having said all that, the food was very good and the staff/service efficient and friendly. Sorry, these, I know, are difficult times and it is all a matter of personal taste, just not to ours. I wish them well but we will now have to seek out pasture new.

Just had a lovely lunch at Hargreaves today excellent food and service and so clean and COVID safe . New layout and decor is great. Will be back again soon .

I appreciate times are different with Covid-19, but I remember this cafe fondly from my childhood. Visited with my elderly mum and we both chose the chicken, bacon and Stilton salad. What I received certainly wasn’t what I was expecting: a plate of undressed salad leaves with cold chicken and bacon straight from the fridge. No salad dressing was offered and we had to to ask for it. Certainly not worth the money. Thankfully the tea was good.

After visiting the beautiful shop I decided to try the cafe upstairs, I hadn’t been in for many years and it has totally been transformed, it was immaculately clean with a great choice of cakes and light bites the staff were super friendly, (especially the gentlemen who came out to check everything was ok) all staff Wore masks and cleaned up after people as soon as they left. I will be returning with my family soon for some more of the delicious Welsh rarebit.

Came here with my mate for a bite to eat and a coffee. We visited the shop before making are way up stairs. Lovely little place to eat. Staff all friendly and pleasant. The cafe is ran is a safe with Track and Trace in order and social distancing in place. The food was spot on and l love the all day breakfast panini I had. Next time I am I will be popping in here again

Popped into the shop and then the tea rooms for some lunch and cake with my family (kids 2 & 5). The staff were attentive and we enjoyed some lovely Welsh rarebit, sandwiches and some delicious cakes with something for everyone on the menu. My son loved his strawberry milkshake! We will definitely be returning soon and I would recommend to anyone visiting Buxton.Adam

We just popped in for a quick lunch but were impressed by the safety measures and the food was nice too - clearly capacity in the cafe has been reduced due to Covid and tables are wipe down etc but it is still a nice setting for lunch.

Unlike the other better-known cafes and tea shops in Buxton, Hargreaves has time for you and can offer a broad menu and excellent range of tea with excellent attentive service. Excellent Rose and Mint teas, good panini and excellent Welsh rarebit. A good range of soft drinks too. Again unlike other establishments, Hargreaves also take Covid-19 precautions seriously and take care to ensure cleanliness everywhere in the establishment. There is also a very good range of soaps and batterie de cuisine on the ground floor, and elegant pottery in the dining room.

I visited the cafe with family to celebrate my Dad’s 80th birthday. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We sat in elegant historical surroundings, with good social distancing in place. My Chicken, Bacon and Avocado Salad was delicious and the ideal meal for a sunny day in Buxton. The menu has a good mix of choice and size to suit various appetites and scrumptious desserts, well tested by our group! While you relax in the dining room, the showcases with antiques and historical items give the diner plenty to look at. Well worth a visit and a browse around the cook and gift shop on your departure.

Came last year had a wonderful meal so thought would visit again, visit not as good this time menu choice slightly limited, food only looked average when served ,had a milkshake that lacked flavour and was a mouthful at best ,a little expensive for what we had which was a coronation chicken salad and a Welsh rarebit with shake and a small coffee for over twenty pounds

Out on our first outing since lockdown we dropped in here for lunch. Really good food in a safe and pleasant environment. Friendly and efficient staff gave hood service.

Lovely traditional English tea. Definitely go back and highly recommended. We have been going here for about 15 years and the service and food us always excellent.

Called in for a spot of lunch. We both had a hot bap and shared a portion of chips. My wife had the pork and stuffing and I had the bacon, brie and cranberry. "Extremely tasty" we both agreed. My wife finished with a wedge of apple pie and custard which she said tasted "like apple pie and custard should do". So full marks for the food and service. The only problem for me, being a bloke of largish proportions, was that the seating was a little cramped. But I'd be prepared to be cramped again 'cos the food was so good.

As you walk upstairs past the modern kitchen and gift shop you really are walking upwards, but backwards in time. The Edwardian tea shop could very well be from that era. Stacked display cases of porcelain collectibles in the dining room. You'll get a nice cup of tea here and great cakes and scones. Sandwiches pretty good too. Gets quite crowded but the staff work very hard and get everything out in very good time. A very authentic experience.

quite busy but thats what to expect in a good place like this we managed to get a seat and the menu had a good choice the homemade cakes looked very tasty prices were what to expect will go again

In a world increasingly populated by chain outlet anonymity (Costa, Nero etc etc) it's always a delight to come across a one-off, locally run and unchanged by time venue.Upstairs above a gift shop this is a tearoom Tardis - crammed with antiquities (and I don't mean the staff!), full of history, tradition and useful notes about its heritage. Even the display cabinets are a delight in themselves.Plenty of cakes and snacks on offer, sandwiches and usual café fare - all served pleasantly in what is a quite other worldly atmosphere. Take a step back in time and a step away from the crowded streets outside. Oh, yes, the coffee's not bad either!

Auf unserer Reise durch den Peak District haben wir einen Zwischenstopp in der alten Kur-Metropole Buxton eingelegt...und wir haben uns, aufgrund der Website, für diesen tearoom entschieden.Laut Homepage sind die Öffnungszeiten bis 17:30 angegeben... deshalb dachten wir, dass eine Tasse Tee mit einem scone durchaus möglich sind.Zuerst einmal war das Personal, welches den Kuchen und den Tee serviert, mit dem Schrubben des Küchenbereichs beschäftigt. Das ist auch okay, aber die Bekleidung war extrem fleckig von den tagsüber schon servierten Speisen.Das Personal wirkte müde, aber freundlich.Allerdings nervte es uns schon sehr, dass ab 16:45 Uhr die Tischdecken der anderen Tische getauscht wurden und der Gewerbe-Staubsauger von der gerade noch Küche schrubbenden Bedienung zwischen den Tischen und Stühlen hergeschubst wurde...mein Mann wollte erst noch fragen, ob wir die Beine anheben sollen, damit sie unter unseren Füßen auch schon saugen könne...Um 16:50 Uhr wurde uns dann gesagt...sorry, wir schließen jetzt...Also haben wir den Tee stehen lassen und sind gegangen... allerdings war der Zugang zum ersten Stock, in dem sich der tearoom befindet, auch schon versperrt...Es war sehr ausladend!!!Hatte ich mich schon zu den Räumlichkeiten geäußert?!? Nein?!?Also ich denke, vor ca 100Jahren hatte der tearoom richtig Charme...man erkennt noch heute die Exklusivität von einst...aber um das aufrecht zu erhalten, braucht es mehr, als Erinnerungsstücke aus den guten alten Zeiten...da hilft es,(bei den Preisen) wenn die Fenstergläser heile und geputzt wären, wenn die Tische zwischendurch kontrolliert würden und nicht kleben, oder Essensreste vom Teppich aufgesammelt würden...auch die billigen Plastik-Blumen in den Vasen verbessern nicht den heruntergekommenen Eindruck...schade, aber dieser tearoom spiegelt das Problem der Stadt wieder:...der Zahn der Zeit nagt an den Häusern und entweder muss man in so einer Stadt investieren und neue Wege gehen, oder damit rechnen, dass sich Gäste,wie wir, kritisch über angepriesene und überteuerte Angebote äußern...ich würde diesen tearoom weder empfehlen, noch ein zweites Mal aufsuchen...

Friendly staff. Clean. Interesting decor that made you feel you’d stepped back in time. Good choice of teas, snacks an£ cakes and reasonably priced.

As part of the day where we met long term friends, we chose this cafe as a lunch venue. We had been into the ceramics shop below before but had not noticed the cafe upstairs until shown to us today.Up the staircase, where carpet needs updating or cleaning, we came to a lovely, bright and attractive counter. Further into the cafe, we found a table for four. So many tables seem to be crammed in that back to back chairs unavoidably push against one another when sat on.A good menu (albeit without hot lunches at the current time - all appropriately explained at each table) is found, with orders taken at the counter. Lots of good food seemed to be on offer, sandwiches, toasties, jacket potatoes, salads and vegan meals. The list of vegan / VG items is impressive.Once ordered, food arrives quickly. The salad with ham and blue cheese I ordered did look delicious and came with a good dressing. Working through the meal, I did find the ham salty and very watery at the bottom of the dish of lettuce. This meal had cost £7.50. Husband's roast pork sandwich was apparently wonderful.Decor is fascinating but overpowering. The same large Morrisesque print wallpaper was on each wall. Large bevelled mirrors on one wall extend the impression. Vintage display cabinets on two sides of the room house famous brands of pottery, china and ceramic. Some of these are fascinating. Could some detail surrounding them be displayed?Stairs seem to be the only access to the tea rooms; toilets on the landing are dated. Cubicles in the ladies' are as small as they could be. We may go again, but with Buxton having so many eateries in such a small area, competition is high.

The title says it all. Located above the Hargreaves cook shop, it does what it says on the tin. Good food, good drink and great service. Well worth a visit.

We have visited this café a few times over a longish period. It has never been less than good but it can sometimes be very busy and too busy for our preferences. Just recently we have called in twice, towards the end of the day when it has been quieter, and thoroughly enjoyed our visits.The café offers a delightful menu, mixing the mundane tried and tested plus a few surprises and posing some difficulties in deciding what to have. On our last visit I chose from the tried and tested (scone and butter) whilst my wife opted for the toasted pumpkin loaf – both were good, the latter being surprisingly light and offering an excellent afternoon nibble.We like the style of the café, the staff are pleasantly normal, the product is good and the prices very competitive, and despite calling in late in the day the service received does not reflect this.

Whilst visiting Buxton came across the Hargreaves Tea room and what a find. Staff were friendly the whole place was very very clean good menu choice and the food was excellent. Could not fault it. Why anyone would use a coffee chain shop when you have tea rooms like this I will never know.

We have visited Hargreaves several times for tea and coffee, which have invariably been very good. The ambience is distinctly old-fashioned - "Edwardian", after all. Not at all sure what to do with the metal objects supplied with the lemon slices: they appear to have no discoverable function.

Downstairs: kitchenwares galore and a lovely little dog. Upstairs: quaint decor, delicious cream teas with a good selection of teas and very friendly staff.

Wonderful Edwardian tearoom, lots of atmosphere, very friendly and helpful staff, the best cakes ever, especially the rock cakes!

Called in for lunch, what’s not to like and enjoy. Gem of surroundings gems wherever you look. Packed with history and nostalgia. Staff very friendly and helpful. Jacket potato with Tuna and one with prawns, ample and enjoyable. Finished off with coffees. A must will go again.

We came across this gorgeous little place by accident - what I find! It was truly like stepping back in time. The decor, the trinkets on display, the furniture & the music all added to the Edwardian feel. There are photographs & information everywhere if the history of Hargreaves, a very interesting story. I highly recommend this tea shop, we had hot baps which were very tasty. The rolls were so light it was like eating air.

This 'Edwardian' tearoom is upstairs and accessed via the shop below, so access for unfit would be difficult. A cold Monday in January meant we did not have to queue! Great coffee and tasty cake well worth the visit. Prices very reasonable too!

We’d been for a long walk & wanted a proper cafe & this place fitted the bill perfectly. It’s a shop downstairs & cafe on the first floor. It was packed in January which shows how good it is. We shared apple pie & ice cream & a honey & bergamot slice; both were divine. The building & the history of the business is fascinating too

Visiting Buxton we thought we’d give this place a try. The leek and mustard soup was lovely, certainly better than the name suggests. A nice place for a quick meal and a coffee.

The best baked beans on toast and rock cakes in the world. Whenever I visit Buxton this is the first place I visit and it really is amazing. Small details like the small bit of salad that comes with the beans on toast and the butter soaked toast make it really delicious.

One of the few real tea rooms left in the north. Excellent afternoon tea, very good quality ingredients, prepared at the time of ordering. Not the cheapest, but good value for money

They have a good selection of cakes here. We've tried the scones on several occasions and highly recommend them.

This tea room is very old fashioned, which is part of its charm. There was a large variety of cakes and the blueberry bakewell slice was good. Coffee very average and the scrambled eggs on toast came with bread rather than toast. I liked the decor and atmosphere. Not much service here. You order at the counter and they just bring cooked food to the table - not coffees.

Afternoon tea for two.prompt service food fresh and tasty. Good selection of cakes etc.Would recommend it

We stopped here for breakfast last Saturday and were really only looking for a bacon or sausage sandwich but neither were on the menu so we opted for the 4 item breakfast which was good accompanied with toast. The coffees however were not great - supposed to be cappuccino but her little foam - just a milky coffee

We were looking for somewhere for lunch and saw the tea rooms. Typical English cafe menu, well cooked and presented. Fascinating items in the showcases from over the firms 150 year old history.

Always go to this establishment when in own. Good service from staff. Breakfast good value and lots of. Afternoon teas are a treat and very special.

Excellent English establishment, there should be more like this in our once pleasant Isle.

Visited Buxton for a day out and decided to have tea sandwich etc. Main shopping street was uncomfortable with cheap charity shops, beggars and loud mouthed teenagers. The cafes I saw were the tipical greasy run down . I then found Hargreaves Edwardian Tea Rooms and it made up for all the other failings. The tea rooms were clean, well laid out and the decor created a lovely ambience. It would have been nice to have table service but going to the counter was not too much of an inconvenience. The tea served in a tea pot and the bacon bat could have not been any better. The scones were so nice that we purchased another two to take home. Now I have discovered the tea rooms I will certainly re visit for lunch.

I have visited these tea rooms twice which are above a shop. There doesn't appear to be a lift to access them. I loved the decor, cloths on tables,ornaments in china cabinets etc. Food was nice too. However, on my last visit this August, it was extremely busy and we ended up sitting at an uncleared table as it was the only vacant table with sufficient seats for us. Despite this, we enjoyed our lunch.

I went to Buxton with family and we were looking for somewhere to eat and I was glad to spot a couple of vegan options on their menu.

We simply wanted lunch and thought this was as good anywhere. You find a table, order your food, pay and they deliver it. We ordered a latte each and a hot pork and stuffing batch. We were very pleased with the quality of the drinks and they were hot. The pork batch came with a large side salad and was very nice, the service was very quick.

A real step back in time to an edwardian tea room. Very friendly staff, great menu a very good selection of food. I had scrambled eggs on toast. Very yummy. My partner had a huge baked potato. Very good value.

Visited Buxton for a few hours with my parents & this is always the first stop for us.

After visiting Hargreaves several times, I would love to give the tea rooms 5*

My partner had a very enjoyable veggie breakfast there. The service is very good and the tearoom itself is like walking back in time. I would highly recommend a visit.

Visited Buxton from Whaley Bridge by train and were looking for somewhere to eat lunch and we came across this Tea Room. Well to say we were amazed would be to underestimate our opinions. It was like stepping back in time. Great menu,food, service and very friendly staff.

Above a very nice cookware shop on a Buxton shopping street, this cafe is worth finding. Excellent coffee and a tasty range of homemade snacks reasonably.priced. Was interested to read that the shop has been in the same family since the 1860s and the room used as a cafe was then a crystal showroom for the china shop below. We will be back.

We had a quick cuppa here and were a bit pushed for time so we couldn't judge the food. It is a classic tea room and it's a shame we couldn't have spent more time there. We would visit again.

Called for lunch today, excellent choices on the menu, big breakfast looked great, super main courses around £7.00 , very popular place in fact all tables taken around 1.00pm

Called mid morning for tea and cakes. What a lovely place. The staff wwere lovely and the raspberry and apple scones were to die for. Great tea blend and plenty on the menu to choose from. Highly recommended as it takes you nostalgically to times gone by.

Sultans scone and an apple and raspberry scone. Just melted in our mouths. Delicious. Would have taken a photo, but all gone! Thoroughly recommended.

This reminds me of being back in England again. A very pleasant tea room with excellent food, the best, freshest scones I have ever eaten and a civilised clientele.

Not many tearooms can boast freshly ground Italian coffee served with Oatley [oat milk] and a selection of vegan tray bakes - but this is one can! We also had red onion houmus and sun dried tomato toasties on brown with salad garnish which was very nice. However this wasn't just a visit to a tearoom, it was like a local history tour too as there are interesting displays of historic photos and artifacts detailing the companies history going back 4 generations. Still a family run business today, the young lady with the dreamy eyes had all the time in the world to discuss her proud heritage with me and made me feel that the customer is the most important asset to her business. Contrary some of the other reviews I found all the staff to be friendly and the service courteous as well as the food being fresh. Also that the layout would not lend itself well to waitress services as I think this would cause too many collisions when the tearoom gets busy. All in all I had an interesting and pleasant experience which has stayed in my mind long after returning home and hence contributing this review!

We went into the tearooms for lunch on a wet day in Buxton. It was very popular and busy and we had to sit at two tables of two to fit ourselves in. However, we had a lovely lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the food served to us. The staff were friendly and helpful and the service was prompt. We all thought it was good value for money.

A nice tea room with good cakes and lovely mirrored room.. can’t help thinking though it needs to be waitress service not queuing at the counter.

I stopped here when visiting Buxton on business. The scones were delicious, very crumbly and baked just right. They came with some lovely jam and cream and the portion size was perfect. Lovely friendly staff and delicious orange hot chocolate! If I visit Buxton again I will definitely return!

Edwardian hospitality was not on show here .

We came here for afternoon tea - what an utter disappointment.

Very nice food, service was fairly quick and very reasonable. Definitely a good spot to get a drink or something to eat whilst shopping. Shop downstairs if the taste in design appeals to you

My husband and I enjoyed tea here in the tea rooms. He had a pot of tea and a rock cake, which he said were lovely. I had orange and ginger tea which was delightful. I wish i had found out who made the blend as i would love to buy some to drink at home. nice attmosphere, helpful staff.

Visited Saturday 17 Feb 2018.Ordered afternoon tea for two.

we had breakfast - pretty good overall, although have had better sausages and poaching our eggs wasn't an option which was slightly disappointing - coffee decent as it should be, overall reasonable value - not the best breakfast in Buxton, but a nice room, nicely laid out, quaint tea room setting

一階が贈答品や土産物等の店になっていてカフェは店内左側の階段を上ったところ。知らないとうっかり通り過ぎてしまいそう。商店街の中にあるので買い物途中で一寸お茶に寄りました。イギリス皇室家族等の古い写真が飾られていてイギリスでお茶してる雰囲気が味わえました。

Upstairs above a kitchen shop, this edwardian style tea room offers uniformed waitresses that deliver to your table, after you have ordered and paid at the counter.

Cafe area is above the China and kitchen shop. Stairs are narrow and steep.

Friendly staff, a variety of hot beverages, delicious light meals, generous portions at reasonable prices. The décor is gorgeous; all old wood, lace and glass cabinets full of antique china. I would definitely recommend a visit! I could happily while away an afternoon in here!

Staff are very friendly, good selection of cakes and drinks. Reasonably priced. Just what we wanted on a trip out between Christmas and New Year. Thank you.

Whilst recently visiting Buxton, we decided to have lunch at Hargreaves Tea Rooms.

Looking for somewhere “nice”to have lunch in Buxton and not one of the usual chains, found this lovely place. Really sweet inside, service friendly and quick. We had tasty hot baps (turkey and cranberry and bacon, Brie and cranberry), came with a nice salad on the side. Recommend for a nice light lunch.

This place is nothing really to shout about. The food is good enough (usually) and the staff are usually friendly and polite, and it is well located. It does have several issues though, the WiFi is poor, also it is too expensive for what it is, most of the other cafes in Buxton are cheaper and the stairs are quite steep, indeed my auntie has mobility problems and she has talked of how difficult she finds it. You could do a lot, lot worse but be prepared to put your hand in your pocket if you come here

A delightful late lunch upstairs in the tea room restaurant!

We were in Buxton looking round and decided to go to Hargreaves for lunch up stairs was a small but very busy cafe. We found a table for 4 and ordered 4 bowls of courgette and parmesan soup. A little apprehensive like both but not sure about together. They came with a lovely brown cob butter the soup was hot and delicious really surprised how much we enjoyed it. Lovely old fashioned place with lots of choice the cakes looked scrummy but we managed not to have one. Would recommend it and will definitely go again when in Buxton.

We have visited before and will definitely be back again, we only had tea, coffee and scones and jam plus clotted cream but all were perfectly done. Rest place to enjoy food or just a good cup of tea.

We visited the Tearooms on a wet & cold Sunday. We were welcomed by an array of homemade cakes, cakes and more cakes. The choice was amazing. My husband and I chose a Victoria sponge and lemon drizzle, the portions were very generous. The setting is a typical tearoom with tablecloths and lots of old tea sets on display.

We only had a short time in Buxton to explore a little and have a morning snack before moving on. We avoided any 'fast food' outlets as we prefer to visit local places, so we have something different to remind us of our visit.

After what seemed an age to find 'something substantial' in Buxton - the pubs mostly had loud football on, we came across this delightful tea room. It was very busy, always a good sign! After finding a table we had the exhausting task of WHAT TO CHOOSE! So much....my friend chose the cheese topped cottage pie, I opted for the apple and prawn salad. Like other reviewers have mentioned, we thought 'hot and warming' to see us thro till dinner, a relative light lunch.

I wanted a decent breakfast in Buxton, to fuel me for some walking in the Peak District National Park.  There’s lots of choices in this lovely old spa town, but I chose the Hargreaves Edwardian Tea Rooms as it presented itself as a delightful spot in a historic room setting, with very reasonable prices.

A traditional tea room setting and atmosphere. This time round we had scampi and chips and as always the food was delicious. Decent choice on the menu. The tea room itself is on the first floor of a homeware shop. They have a lovely choice of cakes so it's always a pleasure to call in!

On arrival we found ourselves a table.One in a corner next to the window. We both had a standard pot of tea each,my wife had quiche and salad and I had feta cheese and olive salad.The food and tea was lovely.The staff were polite.It was like going back in time.

We visited for afternoon tea for two at £25 which was a treat for my mum after looking after me during treatment for Cancer. Where do I start, well the tea room looked quite nice and quirky from the outside, you go through a lovely little shop up some stairs. I was expected to be greeted by someone asking how many are dining but I had to go up to the till and request the afternoon tea. The lady told us to go and find a seat then come back for the drinks. Now this is the only tea room I know of that you have to carry your own teapot/cups/milk/hot water back from the till area myself, bearing in mind I'd just had a major operation for cancer and was having to juggle a teapot, 2 cups then return back for the remaining milk and hot water. The team was really weak and I had to prod the teabag with a spoon, the teapot also had a big chip in it. Now to me a tea room should have China teacups and a pretty teapots but this had plain white crockery, nothing Edwardian at all. We sat near the window which had a crack in it and the tables are too crowded together. I can't believe I had to go up to retrieve my own cutlery, sugar and napkins from a box near the till now I don't know about anyone else but for £25 I expect the cutlery to be on the tables. Next a waitress arrived with a 2 tier consisting of houmous sandwich (yes you heard right it was plain houmous on white basic bread) egg mayonnaise with No cress, lumps of ham on processed bread and soggy tuna, all on cheap processed bread. The scones were dry and unappealing, we had the tiniest profiterole and a slice of dry Victoria sponge. It's a shame as it's a lovely place but the self service and unimaginative tasteless food let it down. I visit a few tea rooms and this definitely can't be classed as one. The people who rate higher must be easily pleased or have more money than sense. Won't be returning back again

Came here after receiving no service at another cafe nearby. Great atmosphere and decoration, friendly service and good coffee and cakes.

Called in here for tea and cake having been ignored in a couple of other places. Beautifully decorated tea rooms on the first floor with huge display cabinets filled with chinaware. Lots to look at and admire! Friendly staff. We had two coffees, a piece of lemon and raspberry cake and a piece of Bakewell tart. Both delicious. Well worth a visit.

Lovely surroundings, welcoming staff and super food, we had the home made cottage pie and it was delicious

Lovely quaint tearoom with vintage china and ornaments displayed around the room. We didn't expect the size portions we received, and had a very pleasant surprise at the value for money. While we ordered salads, which made for a filling lunch, other tables around were enjoying the afternoon tea, which looked very substantial for the price. Would definitely recommend.

My cousin and I stopped here for a light lunch thinking we would have dinner at our hotel in the evening. We both opted for the Ham Hock and Blue Cheese salad - not quite as light as we would have expected - it came in a bowl that was overflowing with enough ham for at least two people plus a side dish of coleslaw and a bread roll with butter - it was delicious and took a long time to make an impresion on. It is a quant little restaurant upstairs from a cookshop - another favourite. There is plenty to see in the family cabinets too. By the time we got to the end of the salad we realised dinner was not going to be required so we sampled the apple and rhubarb crumble with ice cream - yummy. A real hidden treasure.

Breakfast was very good. A little pricy but very good food, lovely coffee, hot chocolate and quality tea.

We fund this wonderful little tea room walking along, at Buxton. Entering a shop full of interesting goodies, the tea room is upstairs. It has a sort of mini museum for you to gaze at as you eat and drink, and a window view if you wish.

We made two visits to these lovely Tea Rooms during our stay. Beautiful quaint atmosphere. Lovely, pleasant and helpful staff. Wonderful choice on the Menu with amazing food with a home cooked taste and quality. A little disappointed that the original "Small "Breakfast seems to have been replaced with a "Budget" Breakfast with less choice. I am sure I had Fried Bread last time. Nevertheless really enjoyed our whole experiences. Wonderful English Tea to drink.

This tea room as such history attached, it looks exactly like a Edwardian tea would have looked, display cabinets show a history of Hargreaves family in the UK. Great selection on the menu whether its lunch or afternoon teas, there was a also a good selection of cakes. The tea room is above a above a shop in the main street so make sure you don't miss it.

I visited the tea rooms with my great aunt on a trip to Buxton.

It had started raining when we left the shopping arcade so we ran to Hargreaves as I wanted to look at the candles in the shop. My husband suggested we should get a drink and cake upstairs. I loved the decor. We both had a very yummy bakewell tart. He had a pot of tea and I was naughty as last day before new diet and had a retro banana split milkshake this was also very yummy and it was reasonably priced too. Will return next year.

Tried today for the first time and it won't be the last! Prompt service,pleasant staff and good food. Although very busy the tables were swiftly cleared and the staff all had a smile on their faces and a welcoming attitude.

Passing through Buxton, we stopped for a 'cuppa' and chanced on these lovely old fashioned tea rooms. Upstairs over a gift shop, the tea rooms are like stepping back into Edwardian times. The rooms are decorated with period furniture and china and the food was delightful. The menu includes a good selection of cakes and scones as well as light lunches and the staff were very friendly and obliging. A real find!

Super for a light lunch or just coffee and cake. Excellent selection of cakes and a good menu too. Staff are friendly and service is excellent.

What a lovely little gem of a tea room! As a fairly good cook (!) I can honestly say the scones were undoubtedly the best we have ever had. Wonderful.

We were looking for an independent tea/coffee shop and we found it

Hargreaves is a lovely Edwardian Tearooms run by the Coles family it is a great place to have breakfast, lunch, or afternoon tea a very informal and very friendly place to visit great food and brilliant service.

The tea room was on the first floor above the shop. We went there on Saturday afternoon after lunch time but we still needed to wait for a table so it must be popular. Good value for money for their afternoon tea set. Staff were friendly and helpful. Better than the normal high street chains.
