High Nellys in Derbyshire Dales

Stayed in the village for a long weekend and popped in a couple of times. The first for takeaway coffee which was delicious, and the cafe looked very inviting and welcomed dogs, so we went back for breakfast on our last day. The bacon and sausage baps were brimming, and my husband had a full english. I opted for a teacake trying to be good and avoiding the very tempting crossaints and cakes. Highly recommend if in the area.

Good food, served by lovely staff in a cosy environment.

Nice cafe in the middle of the village. Paninis, coffee & cakes all good. Friendly staff. Fewer cafes in Tideswell than there used to be - so use it, don't lose it!

Great little coffee and cake shop. Really friendly atmosphere.

The food was good, the sandwich tasty but was a very small gluten free bread cake, was still a bit hungry , I am gluten free. Menu choice seemed a bit limited. Nice staff, helpful.

Really gorgeous place to meet with family and friends. Had lots of different options from the breakfast menu and all were cooked & presented beautifully. Lovely coffee; great atmosphere & service. Thanks for a lovely time 😊

Loved this little cafe. We found it by chance and have been back 3 times in as many weeks now. Paninis we're lovely.

Lovely place good food and helpful staff.

A great place. I ordered the baked camembert and didn't say I was allergic to chilli.When it arrived, it had what looked like chilli pepper on top. When I asked, it had. Despite this being my fault, they immediately replaced it with a plain baked camembert. I was so grateful. And the cappuccino was amazing.

Absolutely wonderful welcoming family run cafe with lovely views of the village and plenty of seating. We stopped off here on our way home from a break in the Peak District, I’m so glad we did! The breakfast menu is plentiful with something for everyone, the food is absolutely beautiful, well presented and great portions. We ordered salmon and avocado toast and a granola bowl, a must try is the home made granola! I didn’t think anyone could make granola SO tasty! everything was perfect. The coffee is great, as foodies we took some cakes away with us and I’m so glad we did! Really tasty selection, the blueberry lemon and carrot cake were SO good! We fully plan to make a special trip to come here again in the future! The owners are really lovely.

If you want a great breakfast this is the place to go, have eaten here many times, great menu and delicious cakes and pastries. Limited day and time opening so check before visiting

First visit to the newly-refurbished cafe, now the only sit-down place in Tidza except for the pubs. Good coffee and toasted teacakes, pleasant ambience apart from some noisy muzak in first few minutes. Cheery staff and quick service. Will go there again.

Called in today lovely atmosphere, very friendly welcoming staff. Ordered the full english breakfast and it didn’t disappoint. Nice fresh bread for toast, sausage and bacon was very tasty and well cooked as was everything else( egg, hash brown, mushroom, tomato and beans). Tempted on the way out by flapjack and millionaire shortbread!!! Will definitely be back when in the area.

We only stopped off for a coffee on Sunday & it was a lovely place & great coffee too ☺️

Food was good, it does get very busy and can be incredibly loud.

Cute Cafe, Good service and great food.

Wonderful food and the staff were great

Just had coffee and scones, coffee was excellent and the scones were delicious. The service and the food is a massive upgrade since this cafe changed ownership and names, we last visited in February 23 and were humming and hawing about whether to visit this place before we started a walk. So glad we did.

This is a little cafe not to be missed, the food was freshly prepared, at a very sensible price, and the cakes were divine. Will definitely call again.

Great halloumi. Not actually on the main menu with other dishes but on the sides, but some of the best halloumi I've had outside of Cyprus.

Amazing place for breakfast. High quality food, nice and friendly staff. Good atmosphere. Interesting books to read while you wait.

The many 5 Star reviews are well deserved. I'm visiting from Australia and thoroughly enjoyed my lunch here. Great atmosphere, professional polite, and good humoured staff with cracking food and treats. Highly recommended!

Great place in the most beautiful village Thanks

What a lovely place, in the centre of Tideswell. There's plenty of seating, with a few tables outside, by the entrance. The staff are very welcoming, and the service was very prompt, we thought we would have had to wait a while because the cafe was full - always a good sign , but we didn't. The menu is very good ,ideal for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The quality and quantity couldn't fault,very good value. We set the day up by having the Tidewell breakfast before going for a day's walk, thoroughly enjoyed it . The cakes looked very inviting, with a good choice - maybe next time.

I visited Tideswell Lounge while out on a bike ride in the Peak District yesterday (02.08.2024). A lovely small village Bistro type place with a warm atmosphere inside and an excellent shaded seating area outside. Or if you're not fussy and want to take in the vibes of the village like me you can just sit on the wall. The selection of meals available was spot on. Personally I was in dire need of a piece of cake. I chose the Coffee & Walnut, it was delicious. The place is pristine, quirky but trendy and modern set in an exceptionally beautiful old stone built town. The staff were very friendly, chatty and helpful. It's a family owned business with all hands on board. I was lucky enough to meet and talk to Andy the owner and his son. This wasn't a planned visit I was looking for somewhere to top up my water bottles and have a minute. I'm very glad I found the lounge. I can highly recommend it to anyone and everyone. Especially cyclists for their coffee and cake top up! There's plenty of room outside to keep an eye on your pride and joy. 5 stars from me and I will definitely be going back. 😊👍

This is one of the best cafes I have ever been to. The food and service were great, and the general atmosphere laid back without being slack.

What a lovely place for a stop off for tea and the obligatory slice of cake. Warm welcome, friendly atmosphere set against the picturesque village backdrop. Will stop for longer next time and indulge in more of the menu.

Friendly and efficient service! Coffee was excellent and the GF white chocolate and pecan brownie was delicious!

Called in on a Sunday afternoon after a wet walk to dry off. We had coffee and cake. Lovely place with good coffee. Although not labelled, they did have vegan cake, which was lovely. Staff were great to. Definitely worth a visit.

Called in for a coffee while on a local walk which went through Tideswell. This was a good choice - v good coffee, nicely made and v pleasant service. Sitting outside in the sunshine with coffees and a toasted teacake was a top break!

Brilliant for place to visit. There were 8 of us and i did contact Millie a couple of days before as you could not book online for the weekend. They sat us upstairs which was perfect for our noise group and we were not disappointed, service impeccable, food delicious , what more could you want, especially opposite the best second hand bookshop i have been to in a long while and both open on a sunday. Perfect thank you so much for your hospitality.

Wonderful place for coffee and cake!

Lovely relaxes atmosphere and grat coffee and light meals.

Really lovely panini fillings and attentive service. We had a bit of an issue with our food but the owner was quick to support. Thank you. Would recommend if you're stopping off in Tideswell.

What a lovely cafe. After staying in castleton on our way to Chrome Hill, we stopped for some much needed breakfast! It's quiant, lovely, delicious and very pleasant! The food, we had scrambled egg and avocado on toast, orange juice and a pot of tea. The food was brilliant, best avocado on toast I've ever eaten and lush tea. Highly recommend and will be returning. Full of character n just lovely.

Fab local food good coffee and friendly staff. Great atmosphere too

Love this place. We always return here when we are in the Peak District. Excellent coffee, cake and breakfast. Lovely staff. A friendly place. Dogfriendly. ❤️ Parking seems a bit difficult but when you drive up High street to Terrace road you will find parking places.

Popped by for a post-walk coffee. Coffee was so good we came back for brunch, and it did not disappoint. Quick service and friendly staff. Lots of vegan options available.

Waited an hour after ordering to be served our breakfast, ridiculous

We had an amazing time at Tideswell Lounge! Millie was exceptional in looking after our group, going above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Her friendly and accommodating nature truly stood out. Andy created a fantastic environment that made our visit even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was perfect, welcoming, and lively. We absolutely love Tideswell Lounge and will definitely be back. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to relax and enjoy!

Great family owned café, excellent location, if you want superb coffee/tea/hot chocolate with fantastic food seek this Cafe out see

Very disappointing..called in today had two cappuccinos (which were good) and a dry tasteless small buttered scone ..which looked shop bought. Could kick myself for not complaining and asking for my money back. Didn't realise it was no longer Nellys.

The coffee since it’s changed ownership is still really good if not better. I’ve been twice. The homemade scones are delicious but I find £3.50 for a scone and butter to take away overpriced. For example The National Trust cafe charge 2.40 for a bigger scone and they’re also made in house. Cakes are fine at £3/£4 but scones are cheaper to make. In my opinion £2.50 is enough for a scone and butter then £3.00 with butter and jam. £3.50 or £3.75 with jam and cream. Thanks

Walked in on a Sunday morning, no clear instructions on what the setup was (whether to wait for a table etc.) Stood around awkwardly until eventually a waitress walked past and I asked her if we could sit at a table (which hadn't been cleared). She was polite and cleared the table, but no further instructions on where you order and no menus on the table etc. After some time we went up to the counter and ordered two rolls - one sausage, one bacon. Wait was long and sausage bap had a hair in it. Other half was unhappy that his bacon roll had no butter in it. The waitress brought some out but it was so hard it was unspreadable. Overall wouldn't rush back.

Great staff, great food and drink, not overly expensive. Can't fault the place.

New owners, good food but limited menu

Popped in when I was out on my bike. Coffee and cake were really nice and the staff were really friendly

Service was incredibly slow. Found a hair in food when it did arrive. Didn’t feel that welcome as tourists.

Couldn't find it, if I spent more time there I would have probably used it⁰

Charming country tea house. Good menu for meals too. Excellent cakes, friendly staff an good atmosphere.

Delicious, quality food and excellent coffee. Wonderful staff. Highly recommended.

Great value for money! Staff and service fantastic. We had the biggest, tastiest slice of carrot cake. Delicious!

Amazing breakfast! Local, fresh and quality produce…clean plates all round!

Nice English breakfast and really good coffee

Fantastic cafe, had a friends baby shower here. The staff were so so friendly and accommodating, and the food was very tasty. Very glad we came here, thank you!

Had a breakfast bap with sausage and egg for an extra pound, and some toast with exactly enough marmalade. Service was friendly, not fast but not slow either. I saw a server polish clean the same spot on a circular black tray for 4 minutes after which I was give a filthy bottle of Heinz ketchup. Tea was good. Full English was very good and fairly priced. Chances are we might come back.

Great cafe in the village of Tideswell Lovely team of staff and great service Excellent food and great atmosphere, well worth a visit

What a lovely visit to this cafe! The place was buzzing with lots of local folks enjoying morning coffee. We had very good flat whites and some delicious cake. Service was swift and friendly. We’ll definitely be back during our holiday in Tideswell.

I visited this cafe many times when it was High Nellies and it was fab. Now it has new owners it's totally different. If you want coffee or tea with 'a little something sweet there is very little choice as the scones or tray bakes seem not to be available at coffee time. The cake available is very over priced and too big to have with one cup of coffee. The staff were always so polite and attentive. It's the same staff now but they have a different attitude altogether. Apart from one they don't have the same work ethic as before and have lost their friendly customer manner. My order failed to appear at a time when the cafe was virtually empty. After a reminder it finally came 40 minutes after the order was placed. It was brought by the new owner who didn't even apologise for the delay and seemed quite annoyed. There might have been a problem I didn't know about which affected her behaviour but I was a customer and she should have been more professional . I felt uncomfortable and am reluctant to repeat the visit for now. My advice is for the whole staff to be more professional .

Used to visit when it was High Nellie’s and was awesome- visited lots of times and always happy with everything . New owners and staff and now it’s a different matter. Visited February 2024 and found a very over-priced menu and smaller menu, none of the very popular Waffles/ pancakes anymore. Ordered brunch just scrambled egg on toast and beans on toast- took 35 minutes to arrive, when asked where food was staff were very rude. Finally got the meals and pitiful portions- 1 slice of bread with a bit of warm scrambled egg on, the other meal was not what was ordered, complained and had to explain what was ordered, staff took I it back brought it again- wrong again when my friend said it didn’t matter didn’t want the meal after all the time it took and being wrong twice, the meal was put forcefully on the table and left there. Asked for a refund as the meal was not touched/ eaten as not what ordered and the staff member refused and was very rude. Will definitely not return, and be warned if something goes wrong customer service is appalling. The staff need a bit of training in customer service and communication.

Popped in here for breakfast, I am gluten free, which I explained to the staff, they were very professional about my illness. We both had a full English breakfast, everything was hot including the plates which I think is very important. They also had gluten free toast for myself. This is a lovely gem of a place for breakfast lunch or just pop in for a tea/coffee and cake, Lovely walks around the area too We will be back.

Tideswell Longe is a great addition to the village, friendly service, great food and dog friendly. Lots of good vegan options, home made cakes looked beautiful. We will be back!

Saturday morning 10am, empty or almost empty. Good food, coffee and service. The potential is great, drinks aside the menu is mainly overpriced and somewhat limited. Would keep returning if the menu gets a bit more creative (as it was when it was Nelly’s). Eg Oatcakes? Pancakes? Waffles? choose from a list of toppings? Also some more basic cafe food at affordable prices would be great. Fancy sandwiches are ok but only if you’re happy to pay £8.50! Would really benefit from some basic £5 toasties/paninis etc for those who don’t need or want their sandwich to be so expensive or come with a salad. Good luck to the team, we really want you to succeed.

Delicious breakfast, great service and lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be back. New owners have added some nice touches and good to see that they are open more days.

We visited today in the drizzling rain. The cafe was warm and cozy, very clean and has lovely decor. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Dog treats were available for our pooches who came with us (very dog friendly). We had very moist and generously sized cakes and scones, and I must say the coffee is exceptionally nice (I am very fussy with coffee). My little boy enjoyed the baby hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream and his huge slab of cake. Lots of tasty goodies on the menu, including my favourite baked Camembert. Will definitely visit again. 10/10.

This place is perfect. Lovely location, excellent food (granola for me, full English for him and great coffee), very attractive decor and pristine loos. A real find.

Lovely coffee, cake and service

Service and food were both very good. Will be back again glad to see the café remains open.

Had a great full English breakfast, the staff were on point and very attentive, would defo go back

Tideswell Lounge is a hidden gem! I recently enjoyed a delicious full English breakfast that left me thoroughly impressed. The food was lovely, with each element being perfectly cooked. The cafe's inviting atmosphere is perfect for a leisurely meal or catching up with friends. The staff's friendliness and attentiveness added to the positive experience. Tideswell Lounge is a must-visit for those seeking fantastic food, a great ambiance, and a welcoming staff. I can't wait to return for another delightful experience!

Great ambience. Enjoyed a full English breakfast with a pot of proper hot tea… faultless. It was very busy and I felt some of the younger staff need to settle in to the rhythm of the buzzing environment in this newly opened café. Otherwise, enjoy…. I’ll certainly be back! 😉

The independent cafés seem mostly to offer the best service and this was no exception. The staff are friendly and free of drawings upon their person. The coffee was very good and the establishment has a air of calm about it, which could cause you to easily outstay your welcome. The decor made it feel very English with the attention to detail in its furnishings and decoration extremely pleasing. There were a number of pretentious customers, who I gathered to be locals and their conversation made me chuckle because they all seem to consider themselves experts. The village is totally free of yellow lines and parking didn't seem to be a problem, I assume that the lack of warden patrols is all down to it being inhabited by the idle rich. Nevertheless there is some interesting architecture here. Unfortunately High Nellie's Cafe has now closed down like so many other businesses that are closing every single day. It reminds me of what Thatcher did to my country, Yorkshire in the eighties.

Excellent breakfast as a family when on holiday in Tideswell. It is currently open Friday to Sunday only for those looking to visit. Everything is clearly homemade and cooked to order. Cafe was very busy but we managed to get a seat and service was quick and friendly!

A fantastic cafe, with homemade food and cakes etc. Visited a couple of times when I was in the area, we had coffee and cakes the first visit. Great tasting coffee and the carrot cake and scone were both delicious. Second time we came we had a couple of breakfast options the Derbyshire oatcake with bacon was brilliant, the best bacon I have ever tasted. This place is popular and after eating here and tasting the coffee my wife and I could understand why. The staff were happy and friendly and I would happily recommend it

A beautiful breakfast- thank you

Visited Last Sunday 22nd. 6 of us + 1 dog. Lovely place, charming staff & one of the best Sausage & Bacon Granary Baps I’ve had in a very long time. As for the coffee well that beats the National Chains easily. Highly recommend stopping here. Thx guys we will see you soon. Richard & friends + Ollie 🐶🥰

Fabulous place you cannot fault it

Grear cafe to take lunch in Tideswell, upstairs and downstairs seating.

Lovely little cafe, fit for locals and travellers alike. Welcoming staff who are on the ball. The food is excellent, the pastrami open sandwich is a sight to behold and how they get the bread so soft is a small miracle 😄

Great cake - coconut and lime plus very good decaf americanos

Great cafe for Sunday brunch. Freshly cooked food, great service, good prices. Welcoming for walkers and cyclists.

Fabulous lunch. Fantastic pot of tea, plenty of milk and extra hot water brought without me having to ask. They also had skimmed milk available. The food was wonderful too. Lovely salads with three cheese tart. Really lovely dessert which we brought home as we were too full to eat it there.

Fantastic little cafe: perfect scrambled eggs, good quality bacon and smoked salmon, fresh bread for toast, huge waffles with lots of cream, fruit and syrup, good coffee. Order at the counter after you've found a table and wish this place was near your house.

Excellent food, friendly service - do not hesitate to try this place but get there early if you want a table.

Nice friendly place with good freshly cooked simple menu.

I would have given a 4 start if it wasn't for the fact that they were only serving the breakfast menu, when it clearly states that after midday they serve lunch. If I wanted a breakfast I would have gone to the excellent Yonderman cafe a mile or so down the road.

Lovely cafe, great staff , excellent location, great view 👌🏍

Great place for breakfast, super food and staff and dog friendly. Well worth a visit

Loved this place. Fantastic food and friendly service.

Breakfast starts on a Sunday at 9.15am. Lots of customers but not too busy. Great selection on menu - I opted for the Special breakfast. Very filling and enjoyable. Will visit again... Definitely!

Very nice,lovely bacon cob on granary, which was just right, not too hard,had a lovely hot cappacino too, definitely return and recommend Fast service too.

Great menu selection. Definitely worth a second visit

Just wonderful ! Best coffee in ages. A prawn and egg sandwich which was heavenly. Sensible prices in the idyllic village. Sit in or tables outside. The cakes are all fresh made and superb. We love it here !

Lovely little cafe with friendly staff. We ordered coffee and breakfast sandwiches. All arrived quickly and of great quality. Perfect before our walk!

Been coming to High Nelly's for more than 5 years Its excellent, food quality is superb and reasonable prices. Pound for pound I don't think there's anything that beats it and I eat in lots of cafes. The owners put in a lot of time and effort to keep their standards high. We live in troubles times for small business and things can't be easy, So well done to all the staff at Nelly's

Great food and coffee in a beautiful setting, very friendly staff with quick service. The breakfast was delicious!

Delicious food. Lovely staff. Well worth a visit.

We visited on a Sunday and enjoyed the High Nelly's set breakfast. It was lovely to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine while watching the world go by too. We were told to find a table, note the letter, and order inside. Food did not take long to arrive and was hot and fresh. The hazelnut latte was yum too!

Beautiful Tideswell 😍, always call for a breakfast 😋.

Hard to fault. Great food, great service and great atmosphere. Just needs to be open more than 3 days per week!
