Love Brownies - Brownie Barn in Craven

Beautiful little place selling gorgeous brownies. Had breakfast next morning as well which was fantastic. Staff were super friendly and kind.

I'd already looked into possible stops along a walk I had planned. The Brownie Barn was a strong contender, because who doesn't like Brownies?! Anyways after climbing up to Simon's seat from Storiths. I had The Brownie Barn in mind and tbh that's all I could think about, after I decided I hated said simon and regretting my life choices. I started the descent to Howgill, after what seemed like a lifetime (I'm dramatic) I finally reached The Brownie Barn, as soon as you walk in, such a warm welcome all the staff are absolutely lovely, helpful and just genuinely nice people. I ordered the fish finger sandwich and a drink, and took myself outside to enjoy the scenery. The fish finger sandwich was massive and so tasty! Then decided to choose a Brownie. I had the wild mint, and hands down this was literally the nicest Brownie I have ever tasted. Absolutely lovely! The Brownie Barn is well worth the trip to, lovely staff and delicious food. What more could you want?

Arranged an order of 55 brownie bites for an event I was doing along with some boxes of brownies. Staff at the brownie barn are so easy to deal with and they taste amazing. Would definitely recommend and will be using them again when I can.

What an amazing find this was. From the moment we arrived we felt like we were regulars that the staff were happy to see again. We were greeted by a lovely lady who explained all the various offerings. Vegetarian's are well catered for in all aspects of the menu and there's also vegan options for your mains as well as vegan brownies and ice cream for pudding/snacks! Our drinks arrived promptly, followed not long after by our lunch. 4 clean plates and some brownies to take home (which are all gluten free), the views outside just add that something special to the place and we can't wait to visit again.

Recent visit to the area and found the brownie barn. The staff were very Attentive, food was great and the setting was lovely. Would highly recommend a visit if you’re in the area.

We stayed at Howgill up the road and we came here twice! Once for dinner and once for breakfast. Absolutely gorgeous food, brilliant service and gorgeous location. I could have ate every last brownie they had in stock! Oh and we had a milkshake brownie! Just to top off the luxury. The guy who runs it is just amazing!

Fabulous cafe off the beaten track but accessible down a narrow, quite bumpy road but definitely worth it! It’s in the path to many walks including Simon’s seat. Stop by for sure! Friendly and superb food (breakfast, lunch etc) and especially the brownies! It’s just great! The view to die for too whilst indulging! It’s worth it!

Beautiful surroundings and fantastic food. What more could you want? We went on a sunny day and sat outside. The food is lovely and plentiful, and the staff are all lovely. Don’t leave without some brownies to take home- they’re out of this world!

Visited as my son and I were staying at howgill lodge. We came every morning for a coffee (me) and a brownie (my son). Lovely friendly team. Delicious coffee. The most delicious brownies I've had (the slated caramel are my fave but they are all good) ... and they are gluten free. The breakfast / lunch menu is fab and really well cooked (and good portion sizes). Did I mention the team are just absolutely fab?

Amazing food and brownie friendly staff gino helped out with ordering the food and providing a 5 star experience. World class brownies and the bacon and egg sandwich was soo big and filling! Thanks we will be back found you guys by chance due to the bad weather thanks again!

We love the Brownie Barn. The staff are so welcoming, and the drinks and brownies are always completely delicious. Beautiful spot, too.

Having visited previously and really enjoyed their afternoon tea, when we found out Brownie Barn now do Sunday roasts, we couldn't wait to give it a try. We were lucky enough to get a parking space (free) at Barden bridge and did the very scenic walk along the Dales way to the Brownie Barn. Thoroughly recommend this easy path along the river. A good way to work up a well needed appetite, although unsuitable for wheelchairs / pushchairs. We arrived just after 12:30 and were warned they were a bit behind due to an unexpectedly busy morning (first back post Xmas I think). But we sat at a table near the fire and had a drink while we waited. The owner was very apologetic about the wait and made sure we were well looked after. The food was absolutely worth waiting for! Massive plate with 3 big pieces of good beef. Several roast potatoes which were beautifully crispy on the outside, yet buttery soft inside. 2 small but perfectly formed Yorkshire puddings, lots of perfectly cooked veg (full of flavour) and a huge side dish of creamy cauliflower cheese. All tied together with a jug of homemade meaty gravy. Overall an amazing meal with lovely food and service. The cost was comparable to other places that do Sunday lunch but there was definitely more food here. We left feeling thoroughly looked after, excited for the walk back to help our full bellies! It's a lovely location, but be aware, it's truly in the middle of the countryside. Parking nearby (to walk there) can be a problem. So if you don't have a plan, make sure you ask for a parking space when booking. They're limited but they will reserve one for you. Will be back again for sure!

On our way back to Barden Bridge from Simons seat we stopped off at the Brownie Barn. What a gem. More seating space since I was last there. More choices of food and drinks. Friendly owners. I ordered crumpets and pot of tea which was just what was needed after the walk. They now also do Sunday lunch which I think is advisable to book first.

We stayed in a lodge further down the lane, and just had to try this place whilst we were there. The Brownie Barn is in a serene location with stunning views of the dales. We were very pleasantly greeted by Lee, who was so welcoming and friendly. The barn itself was beautiful and cosy, and we were grateful to get out the cold and sit by the log burner. There is a good range of food/drink options for both breakfast and lunch, catering for all dietary requirements. My boyfriend is vegan, and they were more than happy to cater for him and tailor something from the menu to suit him. The food was amazing, perfectly cooked and really good size portions - it definitely fueled us and filled us up for the day! It was a must that we got some brownies to take home with us. They have got a variety of flavours to choose from, and the selection also includes plenty of vegan options. The brownies are to die for, and are some of the best brownies we have ever had. Someone couldn't wait until we got home to try them, they were that good🤣 All in all, a wonderful little place to stop. Whether it is just for a drink and a brownie or for a breakfast/lunch, we couldn't recommend the place enough! We just wish we didn't live so far away, otherwise we would definitely be regulars! We hope we can visit again one day. Thank you for having us! 😊

If you want the best bacon & mushroom ciabatta sandwich on planet earth, head for the brownie barn ! Great service and all with a laugh and a smile, Yorkshire style. 👌

Love this wonderful place and all the deliciousness it creates! Walked from Bolton Abbey to Appletreewick for lunch then back via here for pudding! Really tasty brownie and incredible hot chocolate. Staff super friendly and very kind.

Staying at Howgill so went here first and it was the best brownie I’ve ever had, perfect portion and a great price. We will back for some more tomorrow!

Called in yesterday for breakfast as we were staying at the campsite just up the lane. We sat outside in the sunshine enjoying the magnificent views. I had a sausage sandwich and my wife had Eggs Benedict and both were spot on. When I first saw the prices I though they were a little on the expensive side but when the food arrived I realised they were actually cheap for what we got. Not just the size of the portion but the quality make this a must for future trips.

The food here was lovely and the view from my outside table lovely too. The owner was friendly and helpful. I had the Vegan pickler, hummus and pickled red cabbage on sourdough and for such simple food it was delicious. Will visit again when in the area.

Nice location and friendly staff, however the brownies are tiny and £3. They also over charged us at first (🤨) £15 for 4 items at £3 each. Obviously we challenged this but check your change if you go!

We called in the brownie barn after arriving at the campsite next door in terrible weather. We ordered drinks and some snacks for the kids while we waited for the weather to clear to put up our tent. The guy who served us was brilliant and really helpful when we were a little bit stressed with the weather situation, we decided to go home as the heavens opened but was a real shame we couldn’t return for the pizzas in the evening. We will definitely return in the future when the weathers better!

Not just brownies but fabulous breakfasts, lunches and pizzas available some nights! All the produce is obviously locally sourced, great quality and just delicious! We had breakfast on our final day and the dales breakfast is huge and such great value. The brownies are to die for! You just can’t resist and will definitely order some on line too. They are the best I have ever tasted. If you are in the area you have to go and pay this little gem a visit. Staff are just delightful!

My husband and I enjoyed a delicious breakfast here whilst staying at the local campsite. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, perfectly presented and cooked. The staff were all very courteous and looked after us well. A lovely bonus was the owner was there when we visited and he kindly shared some local knowledge about the walks with us. We called in again later for some brownies and these were absolutely delicious too!

Stayed at Howgill Barn just up the road from the Brownie Barn. The owners and staff were friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was excellent and we will most certainly be back.

We had a lovely breakfast, coffee and brownies at the Love Brownies - Brownie Barn!! Highly recommended if you are in this beautiful part of the world!!!

Just had the most amazing Afternoon Tea, so much choice, 3 different sandwich fillings and an array of cakes, brownies and scones. Great hosts, warm friendly greeting from Lee, and his lovely wife( sorry didn't get your name) who made the cakes. Scenery is gorgeous. Only negative if it got really busy for people travelling by car there wasn't alot of parking. This didn't affect us today. Would highly recommend them

Stumbled across this absolute treasure of a cafe today, food is amazing and the brownies are to die for, the staff were friendly and helpful with the menu choice especially the young man who served us, we will definitely be back next Sunday for treats

Just called for a sandwich after a walk to trollers gill. Friendly staff. Menu is not extensive. Only wanted sandwiches. sandwiches were decent. This is also the home of Love Brownies (award winning) So couldn't leave without a sample. They are indeed tasty. Plenty of flavours also.

We visited on Sunday for the afternoon tea which was a great experience. Lovely building in a lovely setting with lovely staff (and views!) The afternoon tea itself was very good. Nice sandwiches, lovely piece of quiche, really nice small shot of tomato soup. Good scones, lovely small piece of passion fruit cheesecake, and of course some brownie! All presented nicely and all seemed a bit more modern than the standard afternoon tea. The price was slightly less than other afternoon teas we've had, and all the food was very good quality. The man who greeted us when we arrived was really pleasant. Asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside, and also helped to tell us where we should park. They don't have many parking spaces (I think the place is mainly for walkers) but we were planning on parking in a nearby town and doing a scenic walk to the barn, but we weren't able to find a space anywhere in the town so we had to drive to the barn last minute. (I think I've seen in previous reviews that if you tell them in advance that you'll be arriving in a car they will reserve a space for you) Thanks for a great afternoon tea with great service. We will definitely be back!

Lovely coffee and delicious brownies today. Great welcome and good service. The location is great too looking across the valley.

Lovely place. Spacious inside and out. Spotlessly clean. Polite staff. Varied menu with Vegan choices. Was lovely to sit outside and enjoy cold smoothies in a beautiful part of Yorkshire.

The food here is very good, lots of choice for savoury dishes which are very well presented. Large choice of drinks, coffee is very. Not forgetting the wonderful brownies.

Sandwiches were great, very full had ham & wensleydale, expensive £5 each but very satisfying, I had lovely homemade coleslaw with mine

Wouldn’t recommend. Spent 20 minutes waiting to be served by a child, £35 later ( 2 brownies, 1 sandwich, 2 milkshakes and a glass of Prosecco) we waited 20 minutes for anything to arrive when they only brought over the brownies, then a further 20...

Beautiful views, great coffee and brownies. Thank you for the oat milk cappocino, it was lovely. Friendly too

Stumbled upon this oasis of a cafe during a really long walk and was grateful to get out of the sun for a while. Super excited that they cater well for vegans! Had the vegan brownies and an ice cream. Was lovely! They also have...

We had a fantastic lunch at the Love Brownies barn today. The only problem was having to choose only one dish. Great variety. Came quickly and the cheeky smoothies were literally the best we have found. Such a stunning place. Such a perfect Spot.

Firstly there were no sandwiches available and we just ordered brownies with ice cream. We expected the brownies to have arrived warm but were served cold with the ice cream..

I initially emailed to book a parking spot and check it was a dog friendly cafe. Really quick reply to say yes and to confirm table booking time. Easy to find as it’s just up a little slip road past Bolton Abbey, it has a...

Friends suggested the walk from Bolton Abbey to Simon's Seat then down to a brownie shop... I felt a little unprepared for such a lovely venue. We sat outside on huge tables overlooking the fields and chose a drink and brownie. The hot chocolate was...

Only has brownies and drinks on the menu! we had hoped for lunch. Theres nothing to suggest its not a proper eaterie on the website, but there is no menu, so maybe we should have guessed! Brownies were very nice, but left hungry.

Just stopped for a coffee and it was a taste sensation! Fantastic service and atmosphere. Definitely a new favourite destination.

What a surprise🥰 Been to Bolton Abbey and decided to go for a takeaway ... Driving through this pretty area we could hardly believe we had never been here... decided to go for the vegan brownies.. Great coffee and ice cream selection to. Shame we...

We stopped here on our way down from Simon’s Seat on a very hot Saturday Afternoon. We had used up most of our water supply on the way and were pretty hot and desperate. The owners were in the middle of shutting down but stayed...

What a place, can't fault it at all. We were on our way down from Simon's Mount and just happened to come across the Brownie Barn. Lovely place. Inside small seating area, I think 3 tables and outside larger seating area, beautiful views. You can...

Excellent scenery, wonderful selection of ice cream and brownies, staff and management extremely friendly and welcoming, we were passing by and even though they were about to close, the friendly team were more than happy to help us!

Delicious brownies and lovely hot drinks, a bit cramped on inside but well socially distancing being managed on a wet day when you can’t sit outside. On nice day be even better as benches outside with fantastic views.

We stayed at Howgill Lodge campsite, just along the lane, for 4 days a couple of weeks back while walking part of the Dales Way and shuttling back and forwards with cars - and stumbled on this. There's a great little cafe, with excellent coffee,...

Lovely place for a coffee stop with delicious freshly baked brownies. Seating inside and out (lovely view across Wharfedale). Recently opened (February 2019)by Brownlee brothers.

We were in the area and drove past the sign for the brownie barn. As we were meeting friends for a walk we didn’t have time to stop, also thinking it may be closed due to COVID. On our walk we were lucky enough to...

A good option to stop while out cycling in Wharfedale. The views are incredible and the outdoor seating is perfect for current COVID restrictions. Friendly service and perfect brownies of course! Don't be put off by the gravel track to get to it on your...
