Summit Coffee House and Bakery in Ryedale

A lovely friendly bakery, just one wee table to sit and and have a coffee and observe the comings and goings of the regulars, the holiday makers and day trippers. Bread and cakes wonderful, a lovely lady owns this place and I wish her well!

The products and service are great,Jane is very helpful and supplies a wide range of eco friendly organic products. Together with home made bread cakes and pastries.

Found this fabulous bakery just by chance and was astounded that the lady baker could make me up Any combo of ingredients in my soda bread (I can’t have milk or yeast)... is half eaten the bread before I’d got it home! Wonderful bread & wonderful bakery & even greater baker!

Very nice lady baker, but for coffee a no-go. Tasted fine but nowhere to sit except in the yard. Shop and yard full of clutter and not clean. Health Service?

Good service. Wholesome bakery products & very good take away service. Good selection of vegetarian & health food products.

This bakery sells proper bread and cakes and is far superior to the chain baker which also operates in this town. There is a variety of bread on offer and all is exceptionally good. The rye with ale goes particularly well with cheese. The tea cakes are equally tasty and festive cakes at Easter and Christmas a particular delight Keep up the good work!

I'm a regular, which says it all. I pride myself on my own hand-kneaded bread, but this is its equal! It's this sort of thing which helps make for a high quality of life.

I have visited this bakery several times regularly while staying nearby. I have to say that the bread Jane makes is probably the best I've ever eaten in the UK. It's made with wonderful local organic flower, smells beautiful when you buy it and is often naturally straight out of the bakers oven. Jane also makes delicious savoury items like vegetable quiches and cheese scones. She also has delicious date and peanut flap jacks and Yorkshire parkin amongst other things. You can also buy a wide range of other products such as organic coffee and delicious organic porridge. There are also homemade jams, chutneys and sauces available. Jane shop is a tremendous asset to Kirby and she charges very reasonable prices for very high quality produce. I would recommend her shop to anyone without hesitation. Many thanks Jane - you are providing a brilliant service - long may it continue. All the Best Oliver.

Called in yesterday to be welcomed by "the Baker". A very friendly rosy cheeked lady who makes the most delicious bread and her teacakes are delightful. All very reasonably priced .Will certainly call again .

We stopped in for a light lunch one Wednesday afternoon and found the food and service to be excellent. Nothing was too much to ask and the food was fresh and tasty. Lovely tea room - well worth a visit and very reasonable pricing too.

Good coffee, delicious cakes and very friendly and helpful staff. Wheelchair accessible via the bakery entrance. The bakery also sells a range of locally produced jams and cordials, coffee and of course home-made fresh bread. Cafe closed Sunday and Thursday.

We ordered light lunch. It was freshly prepared and delicious. My husband had very tasty soup of the day and I had the ploughman's lunch, which was so substantial I shared with my husband. It was good value, served with excellent coffee by very friendly staff. The homemade bread from the bakery is exceptional.

This was our first visit to York and we decided to have a drive out to the moors. We initially stopped at Hovingham tea rooms and the staff were so rude we left and toddled on to Kirkymoorside where we came across Summit coffee house. The staff were so welcoming and extremely helpful. The food was really lovely and the tea was superb, cost was very cheap. We left the Summit feeling very happy, all the ladies gave us that lovely Yorkshire welcome we were expecting. Will DEFINITELY go back!

Had lunch here with a friend from work. Great freshly made, quality food,that is served with a smile by friendly staff and The bakery adjoined to the cafe sells fantastic breads and cakes. Highly recommended.

Super cafe, dog friendly. A happy place! Friendly and very helpful staff, nothing is too much trouble. Good coffee, food and homemade soup. Bakery adjoins so all bread and cakes are fresh, often still warm from the oven. Free wifi. Free parking on street.

we stayed a few door up the road, and immediately became regulars.When we joked that we would like a loaf delivered they said it would be possible.For lunch, coffee, or afternoon tea the food and value were amazing.

Stopped for a snack and headed to this family run cafe and bakery. We both enjoyed a lovely bowl of soup with a great tasty brown mini loaf - also a portion of bread and butter pudding with custard - yummy. Very friendly staff who took the time to have a chat. We are on a break to the area from the New Forest and hope to take some of their goodies home.

We asked Jane if she could possibly accommodate some rowdy girls for hot chocolate, sandwiches and buns as part of birthday celebrations, and she was an absolute star. We were given a private room. She came in within our budget. Buns became a birthday cake complete within indoor firework candle. And Jane was happy to allow us to be flexible on time.It really did make life easy for us, the stressed parents.And then, the food was also wonderful! Sandwiches made with delicious bread from the on-site bakery. Gorgeous hot chocolate (without marshmallows for the vegetarians) and the lightest, fluffiest lemon cake. (Did I mention we got a choice of birthday cake flavours too?)Great food, great value, and customer service that really went beyond our expectations. Fantastic!

A great bakery in the middle of a small Yorkshire town! what a surprise find. Bread is divine and can be sampled in the coffee shop next door.Not to be missed, a great find

A small but spacious coffee house / cafe / bakery. We had the afternoon cream tea, which was excellent value with freshly made sandwiches and gluten free scones and cakes. Will make a point of calling in next time we pass.Double yellow lines outside but plenty of free parking over the road and close by.

We were delighted to find Summit Coffee house and enjoy a superb lunch during our recent holiday. We were looking for gluten free, dairy free and dog friendly. Not the easiest combination, but Summit were able to meet our requirements.A very friendly welcome, lovely relaxed atmosphere, great service, delicious food and drink, and incredibly good value. We enjoyed toasted sandwiches and cakes. The gluten free bread is one of the best we have ever tasted and is also available to order through the bakery. Summit coffee house and bakery is a real gem, we had a great visit and hope to return next time we're in the area.

What a great find, one minute from the Kirbymoorside roundabout on the main Helmsley - Pickering road. Lovely homemade baking, we really enjoyed the toasted scones, lime & coconut cake or lemon cake & a lovely tea and coffee. It was an added bonus to be able to take our two small dogs in, as they have a separate area room. Computer and updated WiFi are available. A great stop off from the hustle & bustle of Helmsley & Pickering.

Stopped in one day looking for a cheese sandwich and coffee and now travel to the place as often as I can to buy the bread and cakes etc. You can sit in the coffee shop eating a nice selection of great home made stuff (and I mean home-made, right there in the shop) or you can take a peek into the adjoining bakery shop part and watch them making the bread and cakes, but be warned, once smelled , you will buy :-) There a whole variety of bread, cakes, chutneys, jams etc. all at a price that puts the rest of the village to shame. This is no tourist trap like some of the other places, this is genuine home made food, exceptionally friendly staff and prices spot on. And the cheese sandwich and coffee were just what was required. Sorry if I sound like an advert for the place, but I am just genuinely enthusiastic about anywhere that is good, and like to spread the word about my favorite places.

I ticked meal, but in actual fact, we had a great cup of coffee, and bought some bread baked, on the premises I believe, by Jane which was also great.Both Jane and the other lady who served us with coffee were charming.A real find and we will be calling in again next year when we are back in Yorkshire.Ed Hamilton

Kirkbymoorside "Gateway to the moors"Having spent an interesting but wet tramp on the moors we needed somewhere to upload library books to our kobo readers in preparation for the forecast even wetter weather to come and so stopped off in Kirkbymoorside looking for wi-fi zones.The notice on the window proclaimed "muddy boots and well behaved dogs welcome" a second notice identified it as a free wifi-zone. We qualified on all 3 accounts.We ordered an Hazelnut cappucino and Americano. Together with lime and coconut, gluten free, sponge.Refreshing to find gluten-free at the same price as normal.The Cappucino and sponge were delightful and the Americano, in an extraordinarily large cup, was absolutely to my taste.(strong)Given the area and the quality of our order, warm welcome and service we were pleasantly suprised at the price.This was our first but not our last visit to this establishment

Stopped for a quick coffee. Nice little cafe with tasteful decor and touches. Homemade cakes looked lovely. Good menu. Not as busy as other cafés.
