Host Coffee in North East Derbyshire

We have recently discovered a gem of a place, tucked out of the way in Coal Aston near Dronfield. The Magic Sunflower is a plant based eatery, fronted by Julie and Mark. They are totally focussed on providing the best food with the best service and they have created a heart-warming and welcoming space. It genuinely feels that they care about each and every meal they serve. I have had a plant-based diet for over 30 years and this is the best restaurant I have eaten in. The mains are mainly salad based and there is usually a 'special', currently mac and cheese. The salads are all great, simply zinging with health. The food feels like you are nurturing and respecting your body with beautiful flavours. My partner who is vegetarian loves the tofu scramble which could be described as a plant based all day breakfast. It includes roasted mushrooms and tomatoes, garlicky spinach and small roast potatoes as well as the scrambled tofu. There are a number of bread and toast and flatbread options. The cakes are amazing and we notice that many of their customers linger for coffee and cake or take a cake home after their meal.

Cafe and small motorcycle museum in one. A bit hidden away, but if you're a motorcycling buff, it's worth hunting it out. Admission free, it's part museum and part shop as it seems everything is for sale. The bikes are in concourse condition, thanks to the enthusiastic couple who now own the place. The cafe does an excellent breakfast, along with cakes and other edible treats. There is no car park and on street parking is limited, but the street wasn't busy the day we were there. I'd certainly revisit.
