Pinch of This in Hambleton

Lovely cafe in the middle of a beautiful high street in Bedale. Lots of GF options. Very friendly and polite staff. Food is yummy and freshly baked. Helped to keep my lively daughter entertained and quiet with a children’s book.

We weren't happy with our visit because it was crazy over-priced (this coming from people who live in London) and not very tasty - everything a bit dry. Excessive butter on sandwiches. Coffee was too bitter. We would never return.

Fabulous sandwich and coffee, really fresh bread and produce. Lovely friendly service. My hubby and I had the wensleydale, ham and pickle sandwich. Definately recommended

Popped in here on Saturday afternoon with my daughter for a spot of brunch , it's a small friendly cafe , staff friendly and efficient. We ordered 2 full English breakfast with extra mushrooms, the quality of the food was excellent and quantity good also . We will be back when back in bedale .

We arrived in Bedale after travelling for a while so we were hungry and needing food and coffee. We’d looked at the reviews and had already decided to visit this cafe and we’re so glad we did. From the minute we arrived all the staff were friendly, welcoming and obviously trained well. The service was very quick and the cooked breakfast, coffee and raspberry lemonade were delicious. We didn’t have room for cake but they looked good too. Highly recommended and we’d love to go again if we’re in the area.

A little gem of a place with really friendly and welcoming staff. Beautiful breakfast and the most amazing cherry and almond scone with jam and clotted cream. It certainly cheered up a very wet day in Bedale !

The cafe itself was small but cosy with calm decor and a view of Bedale. The staff were friendly and their recommendations spot on. Quiche has never been so tasty, subtly herby with a lovely texture (and no soggy bottoms!) The prices were verb reasonable, the seating comfortable. All round practically perfect. And yes - if we are in the area again we will definitely stop for lunch the next time.

Called in for a light lunch on a bike ride. Had a very tasty spicy Thai parsnip soup, half a roasted red pepper, houmous and cashews sandwich, pot of tea and slice of rocky road @ £13. Everything that a traditional North Yorkshire market town cafe should be. Thanks!

Fantastic staff and service, good knowledge and options of gluten free, very fresh produce all locally sourced. I would definitely visit again when in the area!

Went here for afternoon tea to celebrate my birthday. The staff sang happy birthday to me, which was a lovely touch. The service was friendly and efficient. The afternoon tea was excellent! Thank you for such a memorable afternoon! Can’t praise the staff and quality of food enough. We will be back!

This is our regular stop for breakfast after doing the weekly food shop. The place is bright and clean and Mark and his staff are cheerful and helpful. My partner usually has the full breakfast while I have the garlic mushrooms and wilted spinach on sourdough toast with a poached egg on top, we always take home a couple of scones to have with a cuppa later in the day. The food is always delicious. We also enjoy the monthly dinner evenings either eat in or take away, again the food is fabulous. In short, everything we have tried we have loved.

Delicious Bacon Sandwich, lovely Teacake and an exceptionally decent coffee! Our Waitress was super friendly and very helpful - even when my step mother, who has dementia, took herself off into the kitchen for a 'look'. Will definitely be back to try other delights!

First, sorry for the silly mistake in my previous review, which should have read 'if your food is served within (not without!) seconds you know it hasn't been freshly cooked'. I've been for more all-day vegan breakfasts since, on the most recent occasion meeting friends on holiday from Ireland, who, being vegetarian, were delighted to find the vegan breakfast but had eggs with theirs. Unfortunately the vegan chocolate brownies had just sold out otherwise I'd have bought one for later. I can't vouch for the rest of the food but it's very popular.

Visiting Bedale and came across this cafe/coffee shop. Lots of local produce on offer and a good choice of sandwiches and more substantial meals. Food was delicious and the staff friendly and attentive. Would recommend a visit.

Firstly, more than anything else - the quality of the food here is exceptional. Combine this with the friendly and attentive service and the really reasonable price then this has to be probably the best place to eat breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea in Bedale.

Popped in for a late lunch and the food was delicious. All home cooked. I had the tuna panini with salad and colslaw it was yummy. My husband had the quiche delicious. Very clean and the staff were very friendly. We will be going back....

A very high score all round and we will get visiting again in the near future for certain.. thank you

This is our regular stop for breakfast after doing the food shopping. The food is cooked to order and everything we have had has been delicious. My partner enjoys the small breakfast, particularly the wilted greens and cherry tomatoes. The poached eggs are also very good. The scones and cakes are homemade, as are the little biscuits that are served with the hot drinks. The staff are lovely and friendly and the chef Mark pops out of the kitchen to speak to the customers. They have just started a supper evening one a month, again the food is fabulous.

We called here for the ubiquitous coffee and cake. The coffee was very good. The rhubarb cake was lovely, but nearing its time. Staff very friendly. Although we were the only ones in it took a while. Dogs allowed as well.

Great coffee, delicious scones, friendly, welcoming & spotlessly clean environment - couldn't wish for better ! Thank you for a most enjoyable Sunday morning 'coffee time' !! We will definitely be back for breakfast next .

We discovered this lovely friendly cafe on a Sunday morning. Homemade cakes, breakfast and great coffee, amongst other things. We chose the cheese scone with chutney and a chocolate brownie both of which were really good. The staff are delightful. Highly recommended!

absolutely amazing little place. Found this over a year ago and haven’t always been back when we can. We love the food and drinks. Mark and Lucienne make the most amazing cakes.

This is our second visit to this lovely friendly welcoming cafe and it didn't disappoint again .I tried the rarebit on granary bread ,posh cheese on toast !.served with salad and slaw, delicious. My partner had homemade spiced parsnip soup with bread. We swapped half way to try each others , soup was tasty too. Bright clean and airy inside bet the locals love it.Very good coffee was tempted by cake will try next time.Will definitely return delightful cafe. We recommend visiting this little gem.Credit to Mark and his staff thankyou.

We have been to this lovely cafe in Bedale many times and are always impressed with the food and friendliness of the staff. Mark and Lucienne produce the most delicious meals and the breakfasts are always awesome. I tried a recent addition to their menu, their special Rarebit and it was absolutely scrumptious! My husband wished he chosen it too although he was more than happy with his big boys' breakfast. We couldn't leave without taking a couple of pieces of home made cake away too. We would most definitely recommend this place for breakfast, lunch or tea.

Well situated in market place. Friendly, efficient service. Good variety of freshly prepared food including homemade coleslaw. Well priced food.

I’ve eaten here 3 times recently. Breakfasts are very good indeed but today I had a tuna melt. Absolutely amazing, without doubt the best tuna melt I’ve had. I shall be back for another one next time I’m in Bedale. Highly recommend.I’ve been back a few times (since the tuna melt) and tried various things, all of which were very good.The breakfasts are as good as they ever were.Cheese, bacon and rosemary scones, unusual and lovely, also apple and cinnamon scones that don’t taste too much of cinnamon.They have apparently changed their coffee supplier, I’m guessing they re examine what they’re selling from time to time, needless to say the new stuff is nicer.Last time I was in Mark asked me if I’d like a tuna melt made with Blue Wensleydale. WOW! It was delicious.Clearly they care about what they’re serving - it really shows. Thanks guys keep up the good work.

We have stopped here a couple times to refuel on a long bike ride. The food is good and the staff are attentive without being intrusive- highly recommend

We visited here after seeing positive reviews on Tripadvisor.Staff were very well trained and food was all fresh and homecooked.We had the chorizo and chickpea mash and the lightly spiced parsnip soup.Both were delicious but not too filling ,so we managed a pudding.I had the bakewell tart and my husband had the signature apple and cinammon scone with an apple compote.Can not fault these,a very tasty pleasant spot for lunch -we will be back.

Fantastic friendly staff. I had a lovely apple and cinnamon scone with apple compote. And a delicious cake to take away

Great food and very friendly service. The cheese and bacon scone was amazing as was the apple one! Very nice cafe indeed.

Popped into Bedale for a stop on a longer journey. A few years since we visited & so many more cafes to choose from. Called into Pinch of This and not disappointed at all. A lovely fresh looking cafe , brightly decorated and inviting. We chose a tea , a coffee , carrot cake & lemon & blueberry cakes . Both divine & absolutely scrumptious. We’ll definitely be back & would highly recommend.

Stopped off in Bedale when exploring North Yorkshire hoping to find something special and we certainly came up trumps with this great little spot. There were so many tantalising items on the menu I found it difficult to choose! With the help of the friendly waitress I eventually went for the soup of the day and the Tuna melt and it was fantastic. Everyone was happy.

Enjoyed a lovely pot of tea and delicious toasted tea cakes this afternoon. Friendly service and a great menu. Unfortunately we had already had lunch! Next time.

I stumbled upon Pinch of This while visiting friends in Masham. We were just looking for a small baked treat while we were waiting to be picked up. We ordered a scone and a milkshake. The atmosphere was fresh, artsy and welcoming. Mark was friendly and encouraged us to have the whole scone experience with jam and clotted cream which was far superior to what we had in mind. Delicious!

Lovely food, very pleasant staff & dog friendly what more could we ask for !! Our first trip to Bedale & we stumbled upon this delightful café, we will be back.

What a lovely find on a very wet day.Such a wonderfully welcoming place, and dog friendly too!The staff and owner were so lovely.We had Tea and Blueberry and Lemon sponge which was absolutely gorgeous.The prices were very reasonable too.Just wish we lived nearer, we would be frequent visitors.

Always a treat to pop im here when we are shopping in Bedale. Lovely brunch and great coffees. Friendly staff nothing too much trouble.

Wonderful to find that there are still places like this! When entering, you just get a feel that it’s special. Crisp, clean, colorful, a charming Yorkshire Cafe. Friendly, helpful service, great menu and order the coffee, it’s the real deal! You will ❤️ it!

What an utterly delightful little spot Mark and Lucienne have created here in Bedale! The coffee was DEVINE and the scones melted in the mouth. If you’re in the town then stop by. It’s a must. enjoy 😊😊🤗

Took my daughter here for lunch last week, as I call in here regularly and love the place. She has a lot of food allergies so is very 'picky' what she eats. Had a lovely sandwich with Gluten free bread - she said it was one of the best she'd had! Bread is all from the artisan community bakery, food is always fresh and a little bit away from the usual. Lovely friendly owners and so clean and fresh - love the new make-over! Best tea-room in Bedale, would highly recommend.

Went in for a tea and scone which were very nice. Ordered 4 scones to take away,and were charged £2.50 each the same as if we ate in. I queried this with the owner,who said this is the way our pricing works. Other cafes in the area charge less for scones ,and also a reduced rate for take away. We won't ever be back.

Called in for breakfast with my husband for the first time, what a clean and pleasant cafe. We ordered both the full breakfast and the less full breakfast and we weren't disappointed. The quality was excellent and cooked beautifully! The filter coffee was also good, personally, I like mine a little stronger but at least it was a good option from espresso! Will definitely be calling in again.

Lovely coffee and raspberry brownie, beautiful decor and clean airy feel. Very friendly staff - I often stop in here whilst the missus shops on the market, one day we will have lunch, the menu looks very interesting!

Just had a FANTASTIC breakfast here this morning. Great food, very friendly staff, dog friendly. Will DEFINITELY be back. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Les from Doncaster.

Stopped off on the way through looking for a coffee. Staff/owner were really friendly, we have got a teething 6 month old and even she was smiling. Great coffee and amazing fresh scones.

We popped in to Pinch for This for the first time today and noticed how immaculately clean it was. The service was simply fantastic and so was the food and drink choice .I can honestly say that we were delighted with how friendly and welcoming they were and how professional. the food though was out of this world, who thinks of sandwich combinations like this?!!! go and check it out and you will see what I mean! As Arnie said - I will be back!

We called in on our way to meet freinds in Linton. I had the small breakfast ( I would have preferred the large but my wife had other ideas ) and it was made fresh only took 5 mins and was just what I needed it was so good. We both had tea that came with the most amazing shortbread , so nice that I bought a packet to take home with me . The place was so clean as were the toilets . This is the sort of place that seems to be disappearing from our towns and villages and deserve our support . Will be returning for the car show on the 9th June so will def be back .....

Just popped in for a cup of tea and a sandwich and all the mixed crockery was lovely, the place is bright and fresh and with a great welcome.

What a wonderful welcome, first time I have been here with family/friends. What a jewel of Bedale, homemade loveliness. Will be definitely back now its on my radar, excellent work xx

Driving home to Melton Mowbray from Glasgow, we stopped here for a snack and a cuppa. Service was quick and efficient with a warm welcome and big smile. Garlic mushrooms on toast for both of us and a pot of Assam tea for two went down a treat and I’m sure we will return if we have the opportunity. The whole establishment is clean and cheery-do visit if you can!

We have been to A Pinch of This quite a few times for either breakfast or lunch and have always had a great experience. We went for breakfast today and met the 2 new members of the team, Sarah and Franz (hope I spelled your names right guys!). As always the food was delicious and really well cooked but what always makes this place extra special is the welcome we receive. Nothing is too much trouble and Sarah took time to chat with us while we were waiting for our breakfasts. It was so interesting hearing about her travels and how they ended up in Bedale. We definitely recommend this lovely cafe we will be back again very soon. Thanks Mark and the team from Paul and Alison

The staff were great and the food excellent. I tried a Cajun chicken sandwich which was a bit different and really tasty. Nice coffee and a reasonable price. Well worth a look.

Lovely little cafe in Bedale. Fresh baked croissants were excellent. Very clean and bright, welcoming from the team. Would recommend.

We have just been to a lovely cafe in Bedale. With great food and a friendly atmosphere. We had between us the vegan breakfast(Jim said was delicious) I have the hoummous and roasted pepper sandwich which was lovely and mum had the ham and cheese sandwich. We will be going again soon. Thanks to all the team.

Superb breakfasts, their vegan options my daughter raved about. Dad's favourite are the morning scones straight from the oven.

Often go for a catch up an meet my friends an family in here and food is great an staff are so welcoming highly recommended 5star and there cakes!!! Need I say more yummy

Nipped in for lunch after a friend recommended the food. We were not disappointed!

My boyfriend and I discovered this magical place a half year ago and drive every weekend for an hour to have a taste of Mark's delicious food and drinks!

Love this place - fabulous makeover since we were last here! Really excellent home cooked food, a wonderfully warm atmosphere, amazing gluten free range - the most delicious lemon drizzle cake and carrot cake... delicious all day breakfasts and excellent GF home made quiche...also dog friendly and child friendly. Nothing too much trouble and everything cooked to order. Did I already say I loved this place?!

Stopped in Bedale for a coffee and ended up having a delicious breakfast in a very friendly cafe. A very enjoyable experience!

My boyfriend and I arrived here today at 3pm to be told they weren’t serving breakfast food and hadn’t been since 12. The table of four next to us were still eating a fry up, so when we questioned this the waitress said she wasn’t sure why they had been given the food. I ordered a scone and my boyfriend ordered the chicken sandwich and a coffee to be told that there wasn’t any of either. After much discussion about what they didn’t have which we wanted from the menu (which seemed to be most of it) I ordered a tropical smoothie and my boyfriend decided on the quiche. Twenty minutes later a smoothie arrived which was the wrong one, when we asked for the tropical smoothie we were told the weren’t serving those any more and the order shouldn’t have been taken. During this time everyone around us were told that most of the food and drinks weren’t available and drinks/food were mixed up. People who came after us were told there was no longer any hot food available. The food arrived another five minutes later and the reason I’m giving two stars and not one is because my boyfriend said the quiche was one of the best he’s ever had. We decided to leave quickly, only to realise we had been charged another £4.50 for a soup (?) and we were still charged for the wrong smoothie. After receiving a refund we left quickly, heading for the Costa over the road which is a rarity for us as we aren’t usually in favour of choosing chain establishments over local business. It’s unlikely we will return, there are far nicer establishments in Bedale with plenty of choice and menu’s where most things are available.

Fabulous food and a very friendly owner. An really nice experience and one that I intend repeating very soon.

A new cafe in Bedale, delicious cakes and sandwiches produced by the owner. It caters for a kinds of alergies and tastes, vegan, gluten free, vegetarian, etc. There is also a wide range of home cooked items, cakes, flans, cakes, for those who just enjoy great food and coffee. Pleasant surroundings and friendly staff.

I’ve eaten here 3 times recently. Breakfasts are very good indeed but today I had a tuna melt. Absolutely amazing, without doubt the best tuna melt I’ve had. I shall be back for another one next time I’m in Bedale. Highly recommend.

Been to this little cafe twice now, first time I ordered a tuna melt, which as far as tuna melts go, it was amazing! Had red peppers and onion through it, which made it better than a simple butty.

Went for pre firework meal.Delicious soup,hearty stew and amazing chocolate brownie to finish .My husband had pate and stew then a very tasty sticky toffee apple pudding ,certainly set us up for standing around watching the fantastic firework display..lovely staff ,Good service and very welcoming owners Mark and Luci .Good luck to you both on your new venture.Ps I've heard Mark will be making Macarons for Christmas and they are to die for so my order is in already !!

Passing through Bedale on market day, decided to have a perambulation round the market stall.

After a long day house hunting in nearby Northallerton and finding nearby cafes winding down on a sunday afternoon @ 3 p.m..

We went into this lovely cafe mostly because they are dog friendly on a miserable Saturday morning. We were met with a warm welcome. The coffee and scones were amazing. Highly recommended. We were on holiday so would love to visit again if we are in the area.

We visited the cafe back in August when we were camping at Akebar Park.

Visited this cafe for lunch. Had the best quiche I have ever had (mushroom) with a side salad and coleslaw followed by a slice of very nice lemon cake. Staff very welcoming and helpful. Prices reasonable.
