Tea-Cake in Staffordshire Moorlands

Popped in for a hot chocolate , Colombian coffee served in a cafetière and as Eat Out to Help out a tea cake with butter and jam Staff friendly and COVID aware Service efficient, drinks and food great will visit again

Great Tearooms! Fresh and delicious food. Great giftshop with lovely array of art and craft work. Pleasant staff!

Attended on a quiet midweek day hoping we could get a nice lunch. The food was okay but service was real poor. Had to get staff attention to place a order and then after ordering waited over 35 mins for a sandwich and crisps. It wasn’t busy so was surprised at how slow everything was. The young girl could hardly raise a smile and admitted they were short staffed and apologetic, but not a great experience.

Previous visits have been excellent with a consistently high standard. Today fell short of that: Delay in serving Drinks were not hot Drink spilt into saucer. That’s how it was.

A lovely little tea shop hidden away in a quiet part of Leek. Great choice of gluten free sandwich fillings and toasties served with salad and crisps. Staff friendly and helpful. Some tables on the ground floor and others upstairs. Lovely gift shop also on the ground floor. Well worth the visit if you want a Gluten Free light lunch.

This is a real hidden gem. Seating outside and a couple of tables inside a little shop but upstairs are more tables and it's lovely. The decor and pots are designed by the owner. The staff are helpful and friendly the service is excellent and the food good.

We stopped here because it looked lovely and it didn’t disappoint. The cafetière of coffee was delicious as was the hot chocolate, and the toasted sandwiches were also lovely. Definitely recommend.

This is a clean, beautifully furnished tea room run by mother & daughter. Mother does all the baking & daughter makes all the beautiful china. My husband & I had a cream tea...luscious!! Although the main tearoom is upstairs there is a big table on ground level for the not so agile & you can enjoy seeing all the hand made china on display & for sale.The staff are helpful & friendly & when we are in Leek again this establishment will be 1st on our list.

Visited here yesterday just by chance and what a lovely place. We choose to have the afternoon tea for two - fantastic! We were told it may take around 20 mins to prepare but that was fine as it gave us the opportunity to look around at the artwork and ceramic ware on display. We were served a lovely pot of fresh coffee and the table was set out before the cake stand arrived was our selection of sandwiches, cakes and scones. Everything was so fresh and tasty, a delight. The service was really good too and got to meet the young lady that designs the ceramic ware and other lovely pieces on display. Will be returning as soon as and will highly recommend it - thank you ladies and wish you all the very best!

We were a group of ladies out for the day in Leek and luckily found this charming tea room, we sat downstairs as a couple of us weren’t to good to get upstairs. The women there were helpful and cheerful, myself who can be a problem as gluten free was in the right place as they catered for me..the soup and crumpets were delicious and my friends all enjoyed there food.. I’m going back to Leek very soon with other friends from Australia so I guess I know where we will be heading.

We visited on 26th April and it was wonderful. The staff were very friendly. The food was excellent and the tea room very clean The only downside is not enough tables Will definitely go back!!!!!

Visited for the first time today and only had coffee this time but will be back again as the cakes and sandwiches look very tempting. Great coffee and great service.

Just had a lovely Mother’s Day afternoon tea at Tea-Cake. The tearooms is a true hidden gem! The food is always delicious and the cafe decor is beautiful. It is run by two lovely ladies (mother and daughter) who are always very welcoming and go the extra mile to make sure you have a great visit! Thanks very much ladies ☺️

Oh my word wonderful and delicious!! We booked for 6 adults and 2 babies and there was a beautifully set table reserved for us. They made us feel so at ease, accommodated food allergies without any hesitation and we're just lovely! The food was delicious; homemade and so generous. Would absolutely go back again!

Lovely little cafe and shop. Loved the crockery! The staff were all very friendly, the tea was good and the cake was delicious. Highly recommended!

We recently called for Afternoon Tea, which was excellent. It included sandwiches, cakes and scones and some salad ( at least you can say you have had some of your five a day !). This is not a one off as we go in once a week for tea and cakes after trying most of the others in Leek. All the cakes are home made, the coffee is good, nice surroundings and the staff are very pleasant, what more could you ask for ? Sit upstairs, downstairs or outside under cover. Also a small shop downstairs selling things not available elsewhere.

A very unusual, special place which we love going to. The homemade cakes are great but we can’t resist the gorgeous scones with cream and jam, with a cafetière of coffee. It is all served beautifully on lovely modern china (apparently designed by one of the owners and on sale downstairs) and with friendly but unobtrusive service by the lady who does all the baking. It’s a calm, bright environment upstairs, with tables downstairs which might be warmer in winter. A great place to sit and read the paper or catch up with friends. As well as the designer chinaware there are some very unusual pieces on sale in the shop too which have made great presents. Our favourite cafe in Leek.

Excellent high quality food at reasonible prices. Polite and prompt service. Spotlessly clean. Wheelchair friendly

Arrived to meet my friend for a coffee and catch up nice quiet little place situated in a cobbled under cover alley way lovely polite staff

My sister and I visited for lunch today, The staff were charming and attentive and the toastie and sandwich were delicious. The owners have also done a marvelous job of creating a bright and cozy place to sit and relax and enjoy lunch. I highly recommend it.

I visited Tea- cake after researching trip advisor looking for a lunch venue. The setting is beautiful. From the yard outside to the clean and inviting decor and china inside. I ordered an Italian coffee (the strongest they had), and a cheese and chutney sandwich. The sandwich was about the same as i would make at home and though it was tasty i don't think it warranted a price of £6.50. I really expected rustic bread and a thick filling for that price. The coffee was awful. Very weak which i didn't expect from a cafe that services different strengths of coffee. I don't know if i was unlucky with who served me as other reviews have raved about the coffee.

I visited for the first time yesterday with a friend. We had tea and delicious home made cakes and the service was excellent. They also have some lovely china and other decorations on sale and so it's a lovely place to wander round.

Had lunch here last week the sandwiches were beautiful and Sue makes the best cakes in Leek. The decor is great and it's got a lovely atmosphere. The staff are friendly and can’t do enough to make you welcome.

Just had the nicest cup of coffee in a long time in a cafe accompanied by a delicious piece of coffee and walnut cake. Very welcoming staff. Fantastic ceramics sold here as well.

We visited Tea-cake today for the first time and it won’t be the last! The tea room itself is beautiful, light and airy with plenty of room between the tables giving it a comfy feel. The selection of food was perfect for me with gluten and diary free options available. The sandwiches, scones and cake were beautifully fresh and tasty. The sandwiches were very well filled and come with yummy crisps, homemade coleslaw and salad. There is a wide selection beautiful quality ceramics, art and gift items for sale downstairs. We would be recommend Tea-cake to anyone looking for a good quality, homemade meal in lovely surroundings with friendly and helpful staff.

Not sure how long Tea-Cake has been open but we have walked by several times, and thought it always looked bright, inviting and interesting.

Recently visited this cafe for coffee and cake. My daughter and I had toasted tea cake and cinnamon toast respectively. Very impressed with the food and service. The owners were incredibly hospitable suggesting many good places to visit in the locality and taking time out to chat.

My wife and I dropped in here on a Sunday afternoon. Not very convenient for them as it was at the end of a busy day, but we were made very welcome and enjoyed tea, hot chocolate and delicious home-made cakes. Tea+Cake is not all that easy to find, but if you're looking for a snack in Leek it's well worth the effort to seek out this delightful tearoom, which is tucked away in Getliffe Yard.

Wow called here for a cup of tea and found a great gluten free choice in a lovely cafe with wonderful sandwiches . Lovely GF cheese and caramel onion chutney toastie followed by the most exotic and tasty Lemon and Almond Polenta. Just call in to this lovely tea room with impeccable friendly service

On our first visit to Leek, we looked round various cafes before deciding here, having looked at the menu and liked the look of the place. We were here just for a mid morning break, after looking round this pleasant market town. There were 5 of us and a waitress quickly made up a larger table for us upstairs, again, a pleasant atmosphere. There was a good range of teas and coffees. Our party chose tea (Earl Grey & Breakfast). All our snacks were tasty - cream & jam scones, coffee walnut cake, cinammon toast and a tea cake. Prices VERY reasonable.
