Looking for a really fab breakfast? Then this is the place. For something a bit different try the Ranch breakfast, outstanding. Lovely friendly staff, great quality food.

Called for a quick bite with friends. Thai "fishcakes"( fish balls, more accurate), came on a wooden board, with paltry bit of "side salad" which rolled off. Admittedly, I should have sent the board back and asked for a plate. Thin fries were disappointing too far too salty. Won't be returning.

Opted for the thai fishcakes, as there was nothing else that appealed. It was served on a small wooden board, which meant that the side salad rolled off very easily. I'm not a fan of wooden boards instead of plates, as I can't see they are as hygienic. The fishcakes themselves were not outstanding, nor were the thin fries which accompanied them. Won't be going back, until the menu is extended.

I’ve been twice in the last 2 weeks. The first visit was told, as I walked through the door that I could have a quick coffee but that were it because they were closing early to cater for a baby shower. Okay, fair enough but why leave the boards out and the open sign up? Went this morning for breakfast with a group of friends. Food were very slow at appearing and again, okay but it’s not busy so why the long wait? My friend ordered an avocado dish costing £7 approximately. It were 1 egg, crushed avocado on a very small piece of bread. There were a huge abundance of garnish, which camouflaged the plate completely. Vastly overpriced! A sudden appearance of another friend completely blew the owners minds and they swiftly told her she couldn’t join our cramped table of 4 because it would upset the table behind us? At this moment it were vacant. Begrudgingly they allowed her to sit & eat on the proviso that she’d move within 20 minutes when the next table filled. At no time did they offer to move us to a bigger table.Very disappointing Koo. We won’t be returning or recommending this establishment to anyone, anymore.

Great place to drop in for quality coffee and breakfast, served hot, good produce, plenty of options without being over complicated, loved the way the full English was served and mums scrambled eggs, salmon and hollandaise apparently tasted really good, I wasn’t allowed to try! next time I’m in town I’ll have to pop in again for the rest of the menu.

My friend and I went to Koo today for brunch on the way to Chatsworth House. We popped in without a reservation, and were lucky to get a table. We both had the breakfast and a cappuccino. I don’t like mushrooms so asked to swap them for hash browns and there was no issue at all. Cappuccinos arrived and were a decent size, shorty after the food came. It was delicious, with good bacon and proper sausages. Before we left, I also used the loo, which was really nice! I know it’s a strange thing to comment on for a food place, but there was nice soap, and flannels to dry your hands on which meant I could actually dry my hands properly. I didn’t have my kids today, but would have been able to take both boys in and sort them out without any stress. I would highly recommend Koo to anyone passing.

Visited here a few times for coffee and a bite to eat when in the area as it has a nice outside which is away from the hustle and bustle of the town centre. Always been welcomed by friendly staff but have never walked away with the wow factor. My recent order was the beer battered fish finger sandwich which stated on the menu came with skin on fries and coleslaw. On arrival I had two small pieces of fish (which did taste nice) but sandwiched between two huge chunks of thick sliced dry white bread. There was no coleslaw just a mixed salad which wasn't to my taste and a huge mound of the fries. I asked for sauce to be told there wasn't any just the tartare which accompanied it. I ended up abandoning the bread and just opted to eat the fish and fries and left the rest. I think what made matters worse was looking at another table who'd ordered the same thing and seeing they'd got 4 good size pieces of fish on their sandwich. I don't think the extra fish would have made up for the ridiculously sized bread it was sandwiched between though. Won't be rushing back as I wouldn't say the prices are that reasonable for a out of town café and the menu is very uninspiring. Too much choice out there to risk another trip

A few of us came here for hot food and were not disappointed. Nice food with substantial portions. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and even though it was busy, we weren't waiting too long. Nice staff and fair prices.

Called in here, late morning, on our way through to Manchester. We found the staff friendly, helpful and efficient. The place was clean and tidy with no dirty plates left to clutter up the tables. We both had the eggs florentine which were very good. The coffee was excellent and very hot although the surroundings were a little cool. All in all, we would definitely call back if ever passing through again.

The food was beautiful, the service was exceptional, only downfall was the length of time we waited for food, saying that, it was very busy

My friend and I visited for a lunchtime catch up. There was a varied selection of food on offer and I enjoyed a very meaty chicken Caesar salad. The choice of non alcoholic drinks was excellent and I can recommend the iced green tea cocktail. The themed evenings looked interesting - will definitely visit again.

Not as regular a customer as I used to be but this is still a top class place. Calling it a coffee shop doesn't do it justice either, food is superb but you can't beat the cortado and some pannetone

We stopped for breakfast after a dog walk, anticipating to sit outside. However we were invited inside the cafe, which was a fantastic surprise - Koo not only allows dogs but really welcomes them. We enjoyed a lovely cooked breakfast, the staff were only too happy to fill our dog bowl with water and our collie pup enjoyed some fuss and attention along with sharing our sausages!

Very nice upmarket little bistro, serving great quality food and cakes. Tried the raspberry and coconut cake which was nice.. not the biggest piece but certainly adequate. Some of the other food being served looked lovely. Will definitely return for a glass of proscecco and a clotted cream scone!

The food was excellent and the surprise element of what the chef had prepared for you made for a fun evening. My vegetarian dishes included a delicious beetroot, feta and warm fig salad for starter and for my main an o'lentil pithivier. I wouldn't normally choose a mock meat but o'lentil (a creation of the chef) was superb. My husband had a salmon starter followed by a boned out and mushroom stuffed poussin. He said the poussin was delicious as was the stock and accompanying veg. He wouldn't normally order such a young bird, however so as others have mentioned, be really specific about what you will and won't eat when you make your booking. With that in mind, enjoy the delights the chef creates for you.
