Quarmby's Delicatessen & Coffee House in Ryedale

This cafe has been closed for months. There doesnt seem any sight of it reopening. I think the owner was having staff problems and suffering from unsympathetic reviews. We enjoyed our visits and good food. Shame

Sheriff Hutton and surrounding area is great for walking but this gem of a place is worth a visit for itself alone. Go there.

Absolutely love this cafe. Hard working and it shows. Quiches are gorgeous as are the wonderful selection of cakes and delicious coffee. We have stopped here many times on our trip out on our bikes. Difficult times for businesses but please keep going with the food of love which you can tell goes into your food.❤️

Excellent coffee, the best for miles, even the decaf is fab. a little gem in the countryside. Great service and friendly staff.

As other people have suggested the opening times and days are clearly not updated. I made a special trip today as it was supposed to be open only to find it closed. Amazes me that businesses like this survive in a small village.

Have eaten here many many times. I also call in regularly for take aways. Food is excellent, staff are lovely and can’t do enough to help your visit be a pleasant one. They love seeing your dogs which are welcome inside and out! Home made cakes, quiche, scones and sausage rolls to die for but they sell out quick! It gets busy and sometimes staffing can be an issue but where isn’t in hospitality since covid? Worth having a little patience and understanding. It’s good to see they have lots of regular customers and on first name terms with them, that says it all! Highly recommend Quarmbys!

walked a mile from campsite only to find it was closed and staff at local post office informed us that they never know when or if it will be open. On the bright side we had two lovely coffees from post office.

This would be a lovely cafe were it not for its customers - how irritating it must be to have to serve them... Had very nice coffees but after an hour and 20 mins wait to order a birthday breakfast we were informed there were no eggs - really?!!! Left hungry and annoyed. Shall not return which is a shame as we like to support our local businesses. Staff not at all bothered.

Visited the coffee shop with a friend. Coffee was delicious, but service dreadful, completely ignored, then told no eggs for breakfast after being sat for over an hour. Won’t be returning.

Good cafe/deli with good bread, quiche and cakes. Gluten free cakes too. I tried a scone and it was excellent. Opening times are a bit hit and miss as they seem to open late and close early for private functions so if you are travelling any distance it is best to make sure they will be open.

I want to love this place, the food is very good I just find the staff moody and the service inconsistent. It sometimes feels you’re a bit of an inconvenience and after the last visit I’m not going back. Please try to make people feel a bit more welcome, I appreciate you might be busy(ish) but I don’t like to feel that I’m imposing on you!

Wow , well done this cafe ! Lovely ingredients that are simply cooked and totally lovely! Yes it’s eggs toast and bacon but it the best I’ve had in North Yorkshire! Fab cuppa tea , great service … highly recommend… we will b back !

Staff were lovely & made us feel very welcome. They were dog friendly & in fact, showered her with affection the whole time. They catered to my gluten free needs & made the warmest chai latte.

Called in for breakfast and they had a staff shortage issue however this didn’t affect our visit. All the girls were very pleasant and efficient. We had a fruit scone and fruit frangipane with two teas. All of which was very tasty and next time we are in the area we will be back.

This is the place to stop walking, biking or driving through the coffee an quiche are the best, popular with the locals and tourists able to sit in or outside lovey staff., Drop in and eat or takeaway give it a go.

Hadnt been for a couple of years and called in after visiting Castle Howard. It was good last time we called but now even better. Just had coffee and cake but both top quality. Tha cake was served with some creme freche which was a nice touch. Everything on show looked very inviting. Seating inside and out.

On holiday in Yorkshire and searched for somewhere for lunch and came across Quarmby’s ..travelled from Castle Howard and so pleased we did…small cafe but the food was excellent..sandwiches, pies and we settled on soup… it was so tasty…Tomato and chickpea with three slices of delicious bread..Delicatessen with wide selection also available.

Visited for lunch and enjoyed the best homemade quiche I’ve ever tasted!!! Quality coffee to go with it, would recommend this fantastic place if you’re ever passing close to Sheriff Hutton!

Absolutely delicious home made cakes and quality coffee. A stunning little place with a fabulous range of deli items, and which boasts a small outside area as well as tables indoors

Having cycled within a 15 mile radius of York, and visited a number of cafes on the way....these cheese scones are by far the best

We were lured here by the reviews on Tripadvisor and they did not let us down. Tasty Cheeses and Ham, delicious Coffee and Hot Chocolate and Friendly service. Well worth visiting for a treat.

Had breakfast here on the couple of days we stayed in the area. Absolutely fantastic the scrambled eggs delicious. Would stay in the area again just for their breakfast and their coffee is good as well.

Don't write reviews often these days, but this place made me decide to, any place that can make my wife eat an orange based cake is doing something very right. Coffee was excellent, I normally reckon our house has the best coffee, I think maybe...

I live nearby, so visit Quarmbys A LOT!. Their cakes and coffee are fabulous, also excellent range of cheeses, pies, bread, sandwiches and quiches. There’s a short menu of light cafe dishes, and sometimes ready-meals and soups at weekends. Also huge range of deli groceries,...

Nice drive out to quarmbys for a quality coffee Lovely bacon sandwiches sausage roll rhubarb And coconut slice all home made on the premises a glass cabinet full of quality cakes scones ect spotless clean shop lovely staff And found a alternative to Heinz ketchup...

1 coffee 1 tea 2 brownies 20 minutes later they arrived and only 1 brownie. Far to long. Excellent food but service is way to long.

Me and my friend visited for the very time and were absolutely blown away by the food and service. The hot chocolate is one of the best I’ve had in a long time. Will definitely be back

Stopped here for coffee and a cake on our way home from a few days in Yorkshire. They had a good choice of gluten free cakes and the coffee was good. They don’t have many seats (especially due to social distancing) but we managed to...

Never disappointed. Their coffee is second to none as well as all the delicious food they serve. Cakes, cheese and many other specialties. One of our favourite cafes.

My wife and myself eat here usually on a Saturday morning and have alway enjoyed,the food is prepared fresh tastes lovely and ingredients sourced locally ,the staff are all very friendly and helpful, and one of my favourite thing is the coffee which is superb....

I visited Quarmby's Delicatessen & Coffee House this October because I have a cousin who lives in a nearby village and several of us met there for lunch. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The coffee was exceptional, lovely full flavor NOT thin and bitter...

We stopped on our bike ride here for coffee and cake. There were masses of delicious looking cakes to choose from, my cappuccino was yummy, and beautifully prepared, with heart-shaped froth pattern topping. The place was warm, staff very friendly and welcoming. Displayed on shelves...

New to this area came with some friends who had been meaning to try this for a while. So glad we did even though we only had a drink (excellent coffee and hot chocolate) They had local cakes on offer,bread and local cheeses as well...

A warm friendly welcome on a chilly Saturday. There’s is a varied and interesting menu and a wonderful slelction of cheese, meats, cakes and the most delicious ice cream. The coffee was excellent as was all we tasted. It is a small place but no...

We were stuck in traffic, & so came here to avoid it & to have a snack. My flat white was a bit strong, but the home made ginger cookie was very tasty. The staff were very friendly. I was last here as a student...

I’ve visited here a few times . This time had the quiche which was lovely - nice fresh salad . We shared a piece of Molly cake and cheese - really nice Not cheap but lovely fresh ingredients and a nice friendly atmosphere

This is what makes getting off the beaten path worthwhile: a crossroads out in the country, the need for a short break, and there's what looks like a simple, traditional tea shoppe. Wrong: it's a luxe deli with exquisite foodstuffs, and sublime snacks and breakfasts. This is the kind of foodie heaven that has Shoreditch hipsters in fits of ecstasy. Worth the effort if you find yourself in Yorkshire on the way to the moors. All I had was toast with nut butter and banana and it was like eating at a 4* restaurant. Bliss.

This is the third time I have cycled to Quarmbys and sadly today it let it self down. I had a Yorkshire tea with toast and marmalade, The tea was excellent but the toast was equated to 1.5 slices the .5 slice being the end piece cut quite thinly and was dry and crispy which broke up when eaten very unsatisfactory at the price that you are charged just for toast and marmalade. Not their ussual high standard.

Had no idea this deli/cafe existing until we were looking for somewhere to have lunch in the rain and found it on the map with great reviews. Visited with my mum and we both loved it - fantastic interiors, very clean, good service and nice atmosphere. We had a sandwiches and tea and thoroughly enjoyed it. On the pricey side but nice for a treat.

We have eaten twice here during our two week stay in the area. The cafe is well presented with lovely food and drink for sale. The staff were delightful and couldn’t do more for us including catering for my husband’s hot chocolate/mocha combination that he created himself. The food is delicious. The egg dishes went down well with my eldest son, the kids lunch box was delightful for my youngest, my husband loved the quiches and pies and the ham and cheese on toast was so tasty. Cannot fault this cafe in any way. Our dog was even made welcome at the outside area. I’m not sure whether dogs are allowed inside as it was a sunny day when we took him with us.

Stopped for a break whilst out cycling in the Howardian Hills. Lovely cafe, polite and helpful staff. Great cake and coffee, cycle stands as well. Sat outside in a wonderful sun trap, dog friendly, cyclist friendly and T Rex friendly too. Highly recommended.

I’ve visited here a few times and this time was with someone who rarely finds nothing to complain about but everything was lovely Soup was delicious and cake really nice

We were in this after cycling and needed a cafe break, happened to be in Sheriff Hutton and just came across the deli so went in.... oh we were lucky !

On our travels around North Yorkshire ArtStudios we decided to try this cafe for lunch.

We stopped here for lunch on our journey home from the North York Moors. What a lovely place! Friendly staff, really great coffee and the food was excellent. I enjoyed the locally grown asparagus with poached egg and hollandaise sauce and my husband loved his bacon sandwich. We bought some things from the deli too. We were so glad to have found this cafe. I wish it was nearer to home!

We came across this cafe almost by accident but were very glad that we did. There was a genuinely warm welcome and both our lunches were very good, tasty and nicely presented. It's not the plushest establishment but comfortable enough, well worth a visit.

Quick stop after a walk round the ruins. What a surprise. No tables free so the lovely young man put one up for us!

Came here for lunch before a country walk and had high expectations which I am glad to say we’re fulfilled, almost 5*. The deli is stocked with delicious premium products, some of which are hard to find locally (in York). Lots of lovely gins, cheeses, chocolates, jars of bits and bobs, coffees, teas, flours etc. Good gift ideas too, and plenty of free from products, eg gluten free, vegan, alcohol free etc. Really nicely laid out place with a warm atmosphere and friendly staff. Food was very good indeed, desserts and coffee (brownie was one of the best I’d ever tasted and carrot cake also good) 5* and lunch main courses very tasty but could do with a little tweaking to bring it all to 5*. For instance the crumpet with tomato and cheese could have down with a touch longer in the grill and the soup was a little thick. All in all an excellent visit and we look forward to coming again soon.

What a little gem, a lovely place with super friendly and attentive staff. A great coffee blend (I even brought some home). The deli offerings are outstanding and has such a great choice of gluten free products which my family appreciated. One last thing, you haven’t tasted a brownie until you have had their gluten free chocolate brownie!!!

Called in whilst out walking. Very pleasant greeting from the staff who all seemed to be enjoying their work. Excellent looking collection of pastries and cakes. We both had a black pudding sausage roll and Americano, very nice, coffee could have been hotter. £14 seemed like we were back in the Cotswolds. Good, but not that good.

Lovely modern and high quality cafe in the beautiful village of Sheriff Hutton. Also a deli selling high-end organic and otherwise fancy food.

This was a very expensive cafe The scones were below average and my drink was also double what I expected.

Deli very busy on Saturday morning with only one table free. We choose to take our goodies away as were staying only 5 minutes away. Sausage rolls AMAZING-very filling. So much choice. Competitively priced for quality.

It's Britain. It's raining. It's almost sleeting. And it's spring.

Every member of my family had visited Quarmbys apart from my wife, so we took a drive and landed here for lunch. Omg! It's quaint...it's a brilliant collection of deli food labels...it's fabulous for lunch...and I'm so glad it's closed on certain days, because that makes you seek it out! The staff are casual without being glib and they make you feel special. Love it!!

My lovely friends took me here for lunch today. Lovely place deli and cafe. Received a warm welcome staff very friendly and chatty. Coffee was great and I was able to have oat milk. For lunch I had sausage roll with black pudding in it, with a side salad and relish. One of my friends had cheese on toast which looked and smelled AMAZING. I then took away a slice of flap jack,delicious, and rhubarb crumble slice, divine.

Fabulous little place. We stopped as a group on a drive and got food service and delicious lunch at a great price.

I have visited Quarmby’s many times and can recommend it as the most delightful place to enjoy brilliant food and drink. The staff are unfailingly upbeat, interested in their customers as people and dedicated to provide top class service.

Brilliant interior decor with all the right atmosphere, shame about the food. Great Coffee but after waiting over half an hour for microwave scrambled eggs on badly burnt toast with pieces of salmon sadly cold. No apology for wait, didn't ask if we enjoyed it, very expensive for average food. Great let down as staff seemed friendly just couldn't deliver.

The food is beautifully presented and very inviting but very expensive compared to other similar places particularly for take out purchases. Bread is twice the price and not much different to bread from other bakeries in nearby Easingwold.

I never leave reviews but I just have to for this place after today. Had the most amazing apple cake. I’ve been 4 times in the last 6 weeks and every time had great food. The cakes are some of the very best around, coffee is really good, as are the lunches. Staff are super friendly and lovely place to sit with friends, family. Would definitely recommend! Its a must go to.

What a wonderful surprise to find this excellent deli and coffee shop on a day spent travelling round the area on business. Great attention to detail, high quality, homemade fare and even great music!

Produce is so fresh & delicious here, we were really impressed with all dishes. There’s a focus on healthy options but plenty of naughty stuff too like their amazing pies. All beautifully presented with contemporary flair. Suppliers tend to be specialist & upmarket & it’s a great place for sourcing unusual & boutiquey type foodstuffs for home too. The place has just a handful of tables so there’s lots of friendly exchange & staff were super friendly - such a nice atmosphere.

This lovely little deli is clearly very popular with both locals and visitors. Friendly staff and delicious coffee prepared beautifully,awaits with a good selection of homemade cakes truly addictive so had to visit again!

Friendly staff always with a smile on their faces and the brownies are to die for 10/10. Wide variety and selection of local produce and fresh bakery and everyday essentials. The caramel latte and brownie regular ✌🏻

Eggs, beans, toast, two cappuccinos and excellent friendly staff made for a perfect stop during our ride. Plan your route around this cafe!

I am a keen ....well dedicated coffee fan, particularly of the flat white. Recently I have found myself accepting a 'second-division' substitute to satisfy my coffee fix, namely the cappucino. What a find - when I tasted the Quarmby flat white - heaven comes to mind. I am from the south so unfortunately I cannot plan my daily coffee fix to Quarmby's....and also accompany it with their lovely Rocky Road.

We visited Sheriff Hutton for the first time on a whim on a sunny Saturday lunchtime in August. We were originally expecting a local pub, the Highwayman Inn is just opposite. but this tempting looking coffee house and deli at the centre of this attractive village grabbed our attention, It looked smart from the exterior with a handful of outside tables out the front, and inside was a smart deli type establishment.

Perfectly times pit stop to refuel and get out of the rain. Loverly bacon butty and a warm scone to finish. Really couldnt complain and the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming! :)

We have visited Quarmbys a couple of times and both visits have not disappointed. On both occasions we have had cake and the choices have been different each time (although disappointed there wasn't any elderflower and pistachio cake which I had enjoyed on the previous visit ). We have always eaten outside, as there is a lovely seating area to the front (they also provided blankets if it's chilly or a gazebo if it's sunny and water for dogs). On our first visit we decided to call back after our walk to buy some cheeses, hams and breads - which have to say were extremely delicious - too many cheeses to choose from so I asked for recommendations and have to say the truffle cheese was to 'die for'. Highly recommend this quaint little shop for cake, lunch and definitely the cheeses! This would also be a great stop for cyclists to 'refuel'.

This little delicatessen is lovely. I have been many time and the food is always delicious and we'll presented. There's lots of variety and something for everyone. Set in the centre of Sheriff Hutton this has a very country feel with passing cyclists stopping for a snack and holiday travellers popping in on route to their destination. The shop is filled with delicious items for sale a lot of which is used in the food prepared so if there's something you like, just ask it's probably on the shelf. The staff are always calm and kind and very friendly willing to have a nice chat or help you like for a specific item. A lot of the food is homemade and very tempting ( I am yet to resist one of their sweets) if your travelling to the coast definitely a stop off destination

Popped in for lunch. Filling brie and cranberry sandwich with some salad and crispy. Prompt service, friendly and busy. Unfortunately I didn't have time for a cake or the wonderful meringues.

We visited Quarmbys after a walk 6 mile walk round Sheriff Hutton. This is a popular place for cyclists, walkers, passers by & locals. We had sandwiches & coffee which hit the spot after our walk. Great food & friendly service - some might say prices are on the high side but good quality, all freshly made & great selection

Warm and friendly welcome and great venue for a refreshing coffee stop or for tea and home made cake. Plenty of reading material provided to ensure a relaxing break before the next hill. Will definitely call again.

Staying on a local campsite and whilst walking the dog we stumbled across this beautiful little tearoom. Gorgeous homemade items in the cafe and loose leaf tea (which had me sold :-)) I will be calling back before I go home for some of their local produce to take home with me! Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area although if you have a doggie ensure it's not raining to fully enjoy the experience of sitting in or out xx

We called here with our little boy for a quick lunch. The food and drinks were excellent and the people that worked there were so lovely and accommodating. Highly recommend

Myself and fellow ramblers finished our walk here and had the best cup of tea and a lovely freshly made scone and sat in the late afternoon sun. Good service and a cheery welcome. Very nice deli also.

Quarmbys is a top destination stop for us on our frequent cycle trips around our local area of North Yorkshire. Whether for coffee & cake (best scones in the area or try the Molly cake if they've run out) or lunch this family run deli offers great food, fabulous (locally roasted) coffee, friendly personal service and a really nice ambience. The place has a very nice buzz about it and cyclists are made to feel very welcome. For Strava enthusiasts it even has its own Club page and a short sprint segment named after it just outside the shop - what more could you ask for!

We stumbled upon this place by accident and visit most Saturday afternoons. I have had a variety of drinks cakes and snacks from here. I am always satisfied with the food and service. I bring my 2 year old daughter and they are so accommodating offering colouring and toys. Absolutely love it and couldn't recommend enough!

Had a lovely stop off here on a 5-mile walk. A really smart café and deli with brilliant coffee and yummy warm mince pies. I'll be back to buy from their great range of deli items another time.

Excellent menu. Yes was a little pricey but worth it in my opinion. Staff went out of their way to accommodate us.

Delicious food in lovely surroundings. Very friendly and chatty staff. Lots of goodies for sale such as chutneys, jams, pastas etc.

Nicely presented shop with a good range of quality products. Clearly aimed at those with a finer pallete. The prices reflect this.

We had two visits here both times very impressed food was great and coffee is just as good .. We had the cheese board the 2nd time great selection of cheeses very tasty.

I took my daughter for lunch and the staff were excellent, they adjusted the menu to make it gluten and dairy free with no fuss and I ended up buying loads of delicious food to take home including some spice mixes I had seen in a recipe book and had not previously found elsewhere. If I did not live so far away I would always stop here for a cup or tea and some gluten free cake :-)

Stumbled on this little coffee shop while hiking around Sheriff Hutton. The coffee is excellent - must be we had three cups there today - one before our hike and two afterwards. We also had the brie and cranberry sandwich and cheese and tomato on toast for lunch - both really good. If you are looking for great coffee near York, North Yorkshire - this is the place for you.

A very pleasant place to stop for a light bite. Good selection of freshly made sandwiches, well presented. Attentive service, with a smile and not overpowering. Interesting selection of products on display. Best coffee I've tasted for a long time

I visited this place during a brief stop in Sheriff Hutton for work (05/05/16). We sat outside, as it was a sunny day - each chair had a blanket on in case in got a bit chilly. The location is nice and quiet and looking out onto what appears to be the centre of the village.

In Sheriff Hutton to visit the parish church and the castle ruins the start of our walk had to be delayed by a sudden, sharp, wintry shower. After sitting in the car for ten minutes or so we saw a number of people visiting the village cafe.

First timers at Quarmby's and what a treat. Home made Hot Cross buns straight out of the oven with excellent coffee to boot. Very friendly and efficient staff, and a whole wealth of good healthy food. This is definitely on our list for a re-visit soon.

Decided that, today, as we had some quality time together we would head out somewhere different to our normal Costa over the road!! I read the reviews on trip advisor about this place and were NOT disappointed!! It would be very easy to drive past it if you're not familiar with the area as no real signage that I noticed...upon entering were made to feel welcome by staff with big smiles and an 'hello'. The menu is superb...fresh hot cross buns & I mean just out of the oven fresh were ready to serve plus the rest if the menu was full of hearty healthy options! My other half had a hot cross bun with a flat white whilst I opted for a smoked chicken, salad and Mayo sandwich on locally sourced bread. Both were prepared fresh and quick with our coffees. Both were filling, delicious and served with a smile!! There is lots to occupy yourself with in the shop...magazines, toys for the small ones and a great range of quirky gifts and healthy foods! We took 2 hot cross buns which are temptingly sat in the bread bin....The meal plus the buns and some other things came to £19.95 and well worth every penny!!! We will be back...Thankyou also to our lovely waitress...I'm sorry we didn't catch your name but your service was spot on...pleasant, friendly and polite without being overbearing

There is so much that is good about this little jewel. Great bread ( supplied by small local bakery), cheese, cakes, local salami and lots of other goodies to tempt. The staff are always pleasant and obliging. Usually, when I am home, I go there for bread, cheese etc but decided to meet up with friend there for coffee. Very, very good coffee indeed!! Also had a slice of carrot cake. We both declared it delicious!

We passed through Sherif Hutton last year and could see this was a popular deli/coffee shop. So, having a day chilling and relaxing in North Yorkshire decided to visit on the way to Castle Howard. We were made very welcome. The menu was varied and well priced. Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Will no doubt visit again.

This cafe is a gem. There are so many reasons to love it: great coffee, bread and cakes, attractively presented and tasty food, an excellent range of eclectic and daily cupboard items for the discerning cook, charming and interesting gifts, and always friendly and efficient service.

Quarmby's is our new favourite deli/coffee shop in our local area. It's great for a coffee or a lazy lunch. They have everything just right here. Lots of fabulous products and produce in the deli, coffee and scrummy cakes, spotless loos with various hand creams and scents for customer use ( nice touch for us ladies), seating inside and out, weather permitting of course.

We visited here today with a voucher my friend gave me as a gift. Lovely setting, beautiful shop, excellent staff, delicious food, good value for money. Highly recommend.

This is the type of place We would love to have near our home in Kent. A warm welcome, superb service and a well stocked deli with something for everyone. A fantastic stop for cyclists, walkers or those driving through. We had Delicious scrambled eggs on toast for brunch washed down with English breakfast tea made with proper loose tea leaves. Needless to say, we couldn't resist purchasing a few treats like smoked Yorkshire Mayo, their own chutney and a freshly made sausage roll and quiche. We opted for a few slithers from 3 of the many cheeses on display and settled down to a buffet style feast a few days later in the cottage we were staying at in the village. We will miss this place but will definitely return again soon.

Came across this delicatessen by accident whilst exploring the village of sheriff Hutton . Excellent friendly service at the coffee house with delicious home made chocolate ice cream. . Really good selection of cheeses and scrumptious looking cakes .

I have eaten here many times and it is NEVER a disappointment. I'm not sure which is best the fantastic staff or the amazing and very creative food that is on offer. For my wife and I if we want to take somewhere just outside York for lunch or even just for coffee Quarmby's in Sherrif Hutton is the place to go as anyone going there is made to feel very special.

What a wonderful place. Fantastic food, coffee and atmosphere. The coffee is less expensive than high street chains, so I'm not sure where the reviewer below usually buys their coffee. Oreo ice cream particularly good. Ideal bike ride or walk stop-off. Will certainly be visiting again.
