The Causeway Shop in High Peak

Visited here on 'Christmas lights switch on' afternoon/evening, and what a lovely cafe. We both had a panini and a milkshake. The staff were very friendly, the coleslaw was amazing and the milkshake were one of the best either of us have had for a very long time.

Great coffee shop with very warm and friendly service. The BEST hot chocolate and toast ever! Highly recommend.

New owners have redecorated and made a gift shop/ cafe. Needs more items in the gift shop, the shop looks very sparse. The cakes and pastries look home made. We had jacket potatoes which were very tasty. Nice little cafe

Looks lovely from outside with some nice seating areas inside. I did not find the staff to be helpful or friendly, even as I watched them serving other customers. The food was not up to scratch. Had a good selection of arts and crafts for sale though.

Perfect afternoon tea! Really nice food, great location and lovely shop to look around after we'd finished. Would definitely recommend :)

I visited with a lady friend. Been before and always found it welcoming. I we ordered the vegetable soup and sandwiches which were excellent, as were the drinks. Just one complaint and this cafe is not the only one guilty of this practice. Why do they insist on putting unadvertised salad on the plate. Not everyone likes salad. Much better to advertise it as an option for an extra payment. Other than that, it’s a lovely intimate cafe. Will go again.

We stopped in for lunch, we shared a delicious tuna mayo sandwich and really nice side salad and we both had the chunky vegetable soup. It looked and tasted just like the soup we make at home.... gorgeous on a cold Saturday in January. The staff are really friendly and welcoming. Nice shop is also attached to the cafe. We will definitely return in the future.

Wonderful coffee ☕ and cake in a great shop selling plenty of trinkets the mocha was great did I mention that

Well, I can't understand why there are bad reviews, our experience was delightful, friendly staff more than accommodating, I'm gluten free which was not a problem, prices were reasonable, I'm aware everywhere may have off days which may account for some bad reviews but we were more than satisfied and definitely give this place and the staff thumbs up

Went to the Causeway Cafe for a soup lunch whilst walking in the area. Very friendly welcome and we both chose soup and a sandwich. Excellent thick homemade style vegetable soup, cheese sandwich in delicious fresh bread, plus some welcome coleslaw and salad. This was excellent value for money and we would have liked to have followed with tea and cake but needed to continue our walk whilst it was still light. Thank you Causeway cafe.

Had a wander around castleton and found this cafe went in and was served by a friendly chap and we had a couple of jacket potatos, which were excellent served quickly,well presented tasty and good value. Thanks

This is the second time I've visited, and I wasn't disappointed. I chose a bacon, sausage and egg white bread sandwich. Yes, there was a short wait as it was cooked fresh to order, the slices of back bacon were delicious, as were the two sausages and the fried egg had a runny yolk. What more can a girl ask for?! When I was given my pot of tea, hot water and milk, I was told that if I wanted more, all I had to do was ask. They also served soup, sandwiches, jacket potatoes etc The cafe is through the gift shop, you can sit outside, and the staff were really friendly. I thoroughly recommend a visit.

Afternoon tea was very disappointing and poor quality- had much better in other local eateries.Would not rush back !

Happened across this gem of an eaterie before tackling the Mam Tor - Loosehill walk Sandwiches, jacket potatoes, coffee and cake all fresh and lovely - reasonable prices in a beautifully decorated café Staff are great and offered useful expert knowledge on where to go and what to see You will not find a nicer café in Castleton.... Highly recommended Enjoy :-)

Very poor afternoon tea. Not what was expected. It was bought on groupon this is the third time I have had afternoon tea and this was poor to the others and not much cheaper I would not call this afternoon tea. Very disappointed.

Tiene potencial, ya que está en una gran ubicación (con asientos al aire libre), pero la calidad del café, pasteles y el servicio no fue tan bueno como otros lugares que visitamos en Castleton.

Visited Castleton this week for a mini break . Called here for a cream tea , lovely place , excellent service & yummy cream tea .

Recommend the afternoon tea. We went with a groupon voucher excellent value. Lovely little shop. Castleton is a lovely place to visit lots to do

Visited on a sunny day after a very muddy walk. Because to get to the coffee shop you have to walk through the gift shop I felt really guilty.Castleton is very much an outdoor ton so it is shame when cafes and pubs are not walker friendly. We sat outside despite the fact it was February. Cakes were average, and I felt it was a little overpriced.

It was the first time we had visited this cafe and me and my mum were very impressed, so much so that we went twice in one day!! On each visit we sat in the same spot, looking out onto the street and watching the world go by. The layout of the shop was very unusual with lots of things to buy and we admired the setting. The staff were really friendly. We had a latte and a hot chocolate, which were delicious. Dogs are also welcome too which is great!! It was a great place to rest and very relaxing too. We really enjoyed it.

ordered food-----waited---waited-----waited and waited----asked WHEN its on its way-----waited ---waited ---waitedafter nearly a hour we asked for our money back-----had we waited much longer RIGOR would have set init was not busy-----the hardest thing they was bringing out was TOASTED CIABATTAloved calling here in the past---WOTS GONE WRONG

The staff seemed very stressed and unwilling to help. We cleared our own table as all tables had dirty crockery in them. Then when wanted serving was ignored by staff member, even thought at that point we were only people waiting.The cake selection was disappointing with many wrapped in plastic as bought from booker cash & carry. We had one of the tarts which didn't taste home-made -apologies if this is incorrect.The cappuccino was very lacking in froth, too.The decor was nice, but overall, we felt disappointed that we hadn't found somewhere with home-made cakes.

Went in for an ice cream as did a number of people in front of me.. No one there to serve us, someone did eventually grace us with their presence, and I really with there hadn't! No please or thank yous !! We seemed an inconvenience!! And really £2.00 for a single scoop of ice cream!! I dared to as for a take away tea !!! No the kitchen was closed!! Really!!

We visited today to use a cream tea voucher. My parents joined us. We were greated by a friendly, cheerful and helpful couple. The cream tea lunch was lovely, freshly made to order, beautiful scones and little touches like salad and coleslaw. My parents had lovely hot food sandwiches. Our 2 year old little boy was welcomed, spoken to, kept busy with a shelf full of books and colouring. The lovely lady even gave him an ice cream much to his approval. Clean and clean and fresh smelling toilets.We felt very relaxed and comfortable we will definitely be back, and would recommend to friends.

I really enjoyed my visit to the Causeway café in Castleton. I went in with my partner for a coffee, but couldn't resist their selection of gorgeous cakes. My flapjack was delicious and the staff were incredibly friendly

Called in for a late lunch here and had excellent toasted sandwich and baked potato. Very spacious inside with some gifts and cards. Cakes looked pretty good.

We went today for a cream tea and scones with the kids. The scones were excellent and served warm. The menu is simple but has a touch of luxury. The gent who (I think) was an owner (?) was very kind to my family and made us feel so welcome - wet coats and all. He was of a friendly disposition and he was extremely child friendly. My husband and I left thinking, that place will do well because it has such a nice fellow in charge. Customers love a bit of kindness and to feel genuinely valued rather than schmoozed. Gift shop is nice too but perhaps needs a bit more stock and variety. Lovely stuff though. I hope it goes from strength to strength.

We visited using a Groupon voucher for cream tea lunch for two...what excellent value! We had a choice of ham, tuna mayo or cheese and onion sandwiches. Our choice came served on a stand. Bread was thick and fresh and had cucumber/tomato decoration . We also got warm fruit scones with jam and clotted cream plus a chocolate truffle with a pot of tea to share. Staff were welcoming and efficient. A very pleasant experience; thank you

It was our friends birthday so we had booked afternoon tea, which was beautiful! we had a selection of sandwiches, scones jam and clotted cream and lots of different cake it was beautifully presented on a traditional afternoon tea stand with unlimited pots of tea! i will definitely be returning and the staff were really friendly and attentive when we wanted refills for tea.

We called in to this quaint little cafe whilst on a visit to Castleton and we're warmly greeted by a couple of staff who were very pleasant and helpful. Good selection of drinks and food and the scones were exquisite! We also purchased a pair of cushions from the gift shop which were very well priced considering its a tourist area. Would definitely call again when next visiting Castlet on.

Visited here for breakfast after a long walk! We were greeted by a gentleman as we approached the cafe who seemed quite friendly! However the lady behind the counter who took our order was extremely miserable and neglected to say thank you not even once until we left! The food was quite nice but was definitely spoilt by poor customer service!!

Decided to take the family for an afternoon tea.Upon arriving nothing was too much trouble,our 3 year old got orange and a childs cake instead of scones. Lovely people,lovely service and a pleasant afternoon out.

If you're running a cafe in a small village that relies heavily on visitors, try being pleasant when they walk in and are polite to you, rude snappy woman who made it seem like we we were a bother to her, needless to say we didn't stay much longer and walked a little way into the main road and found a much nicer tea room with pleasant staff and a welcoming ambience that was also a lot cheaper for better quality food.

Lovely shop with a delightful selection of things to buy, either sit outside or at the back there is plenty of space to eat. The homemade vegetable soup was perfectly seasoned and the broccoli and Stilton quiche was very tasty.

Great little cafe in Castleton, staff were friendly and service was quick considering everything was made to order.We both had one of their generously sized ciabattas which came with a lovely dressed side salad and some of the best coleslaw either us have ever had.The menu had good variety, perfect for a quick lunch or a coffee/cake stop.

We just had tea and coffee but we couldn't have been made more welcome. Lovely tea shop with some gifts for sale too. Very spacious, lovely decor and good baby changing facilities.

This is definitely one of the best cafés for lunch or an afternoon snack. It's small and you have to go to the rear of the shop and order at the counter. The food is prepared quickly so you don't waste time there when you want to be visiting the village or hiking in the hills.

Sat having a loverly cup off coffee talking to the owner who have just taken over. The previous owners left very little from the gift shop leaving them with just the cafe part so they have been concentrating on that at what seems to very busy period, the staff working well together. I'm assured by the new owner that the gift shop will be up and running soon with good value gifts. I'm very intrigue by this place as its not easy starting a business from scratch and I for one will be returning with great intrigue to see how this place progresses. A loverly family welcome and a nice change from the um drum of other cafes who just seem to want you in and out.

We called in and sat outside after a long walk over Mam Tor. Was served pretty prompty (inside after quickly realising that this was not table service like many of the other cafe's in Castleton). Paid nearly £8 for two drinks and one scone (ouch) and was told to take a seat outside and they would bring it out. The cafe was mostly deserted and only a few tables outside taken so hardly busy for a Sunday afternoon. Ten minutes ticked by and a young lad appeared with another order (which was wrong) to another table (which was sorted out after a few minutes). Our drinks arrived next and was told that the scone would be a minute or two as it was served warm (having already waited best part of fifteen minutes since arriving and placing an order, I wasn't impressed and went off to find some sugar inside - something that the 'waiter' had completely missed). After just about finishing our drinks, scone eventually arrived several minutes later, thrown on the table by who I assume is the manager and a grumpy 'cutlery is inside'. Laughable! Would I return... No way, Rose Cottage around the corner is our usual go-to place and is excellent and doggy-friendly outside.Sign states 'Under new Management'... be suprised if it lasts the summer.

Went with a friend who lives nearby but who had not yet tried this one. We should have guessed it wasn't great when people seated near us left half their cream tea uneaten. I had what purported to be banana milkshake, but it tasted like none I'd ever tried before, deriving neither from banana or milk. I only managed a couple of sips and the proprietress was still explaining when we left that it was supposed to be like that (with a thick layer of sugar powder at the bottom of the plastic glass). It was still repeating on me 2 hours later. Odd that they have ice cream at the front of the cafe but cannot make milkshake. Also the cheapest vinegar based ketchup completely ruined what might otherwise have been a good bacon sandwich.

After a long walk including Mam Tor we found the Causeway Shop on our route through the town and seeing a free table outside we grabbed it and one of us went in and ordered the Derbyshire Cream Tea. After a long wait the tea arrived and we were given the impression that the scones etc were on their way. But they didn't come - and one of us had to go inside to collect the food. To their credit they did give us a new pot of tea free given that the first had stewed whilst waiting. The problem was that this shop was being run by two youngsters who simply couldn't cope. The design of the shop doesn't help with the counter located right at the back round a corner. This could be a fantastic place but it is clearly not getting the management attention that it needs. We should have noticed the weed infested plant boxes outside earlier and not have bothered to go in!

This could/should be a lovely cafe inside a gift shop and from other reviews it appears it sometimes is. Unfortunately on the occasion we visited the service was incredibly slow given what we ordered and mistakes were made with the order. What we got - eventually - we enjoyed but we had had a long wait for it. Prices seemed a little high although had the service been better I would probably have been less inclined to that view.

Coffee with the girls after walking to Mam Tor. We were grateful for a seat in the sunshine, it was very relaxing. The coffee was top notch. I had to ask for the table to be wiped, they were all dirty, but I guess it was a busy BH weekend! I would go back if in area again. Shop looked lovely but half empty.

Following an A-board in Castleton that said "biggest gift shop in town" (or words to that effect), I was very disappointed with my visit today. The 'gifts' experience that used to greet you as you entered has shrunk to tiny proportions? Where what used to be display units etc., there are now tables scattered around randomly for anybody eating from the cafe that is at the far end of the shop. I ordered at the cafe counter a coffee and a toasted tea cake, and was told to take a seat and it would be brought out. A young girl brought me a coffee only, and I must have waited about 20 mins and still no tea cake. By this time my coffee had gone cold, the girl had delivered at last 5 other orders to tables, and so I went to the counter to ask if she had forgotten my tea cake. She had! There was no apology, and I asked if I could have another coffee as my original was cold. I sat back down and she brought them over seperately (again). The coffee was average to say it had cost £2.35, and the tea cake was overdone and had no substance to it. A friendly greeting and a little courtesy wouldn't have gone a miss! I will not be returning which is a shame, as I always had a warm welcome from the lady who was on the counter as you entered the shop, and the guys who used to run the cafe.

Only went in for a coffee but the staff were very friendly and although I didn't eat there the food looked good.

Called in today as we had visited before and the coffee and scones were good. Firstly, had to disturb the waitress who was sat at a table finishing her cream scone and licking her fingers. Ordered two coffees and two cheese scones (hope she washed her hands!!) The order came and, as experienced previously, was quite good. The bill came to £10.60 which we paid. I fancied another coffee so asked my wife for some money, she gave me a £20 note and I returned to the counter to order. Looking at the price list above the counter, the coffees were £2.35 each but no price for cheese scones. I asked the price and was told £2.50 each. We had been charged £10.60 so I questioned this, the waitress immediately banged some numbers into a calculator and told me that it was correct ( 2x £2.50 + 2x £2.35 =£9.70) ? I did not argue as I thought not worth it for 90p and continued to order another coffee. I paid and went to sit down giving my wife the change which I foolishly had not checked.The change was for £10, not £20. I questioned the waitress who, to be fair, was a bit distressed as she had scolded her hand on some hot soup. We went back to the till but she thought that I had given her £10 not £20. My wife was quite sure that it was £20 so I asked the waitress to let me know at the end of the day if the taken money was £10 over, she took my number and promised to call. We have not heard from her so will have to put this down to experience and not visit the cafe again!

Na een fikse wandeling rond het dorp over toppen van de heuvels rondom, tijd voor tea and scones. In dit typische handcraft and tearoom zaakje, lekkere scones gegeten met room en aardbeienjam.

2nd visit to the Causeway shop in 6 months for lunch and again no complaints. First time round sat outside and had a lovely sandwich in September 15. Visited again in February 16 and beautiful scones were had. All very nice,

Stopped here after a drive from Marple, apart from it being in an absolutely gorgeous village this is a rather lovely tearoom and I can certainly recommend the Derbyshire cream tea! The others in the company had the soup and sandwiches which didn't seem to last long! Good food well served in a pleasant environment! On a final note the tea was excellent!

We only stopped for drinks but a good selection and not too pricey (cheaper than Costa anyway)Lots of room inside, and dogs allowed too

A lovely cafe set in a gift shop. Cafe extends a lot further back than you may at first think. Spacious seating arrangement. Food good and reasonably priced. Staff very polite and attentive.

found this place on a cold day .beautifull coffee and scones with cream and jam.nice little cafe down a side street.very pleasent staff will go there on next visit to area

I have been to this cafe on two occasions, with a gap of about one and a half years and on both occasions I was overcharged! This could of course been a coincidence but I did see another review where that person was also overcharged, so I would recommend always checking the amount they charge you. The cakes and drinks we had were very nice, although the coffee could have been hotter. One worrying observation within the cafe/shop is a mains socket on the wall that has come away from the wall, meaning children could get their hands behind the socket and get electrocuted, this needs sorting ASAP!

New table arrangement allows you to sit away from kitchen area in shop, which has better ventilation, so clothes less permeated with cooking odours. There is seating outside for dryer or warmer weather. Ordered two jacket potatoes with tuna mayonnaise. The potato was only vaguely warm, had a dry texture and tasted stale. The tuna mayonnaise had very little (unflavoured) mayonnaise and tasted of nothing in general. I left most of mine but my elderly friend always clears the plate, no matter what! We did complain when the waitress finally came round to us to remove our plates. (There were 3 other customers in the cafe at the time). We received an apology. Sadly, I won't be taking anyone else there as a guest.

The causeway shop was a welcome sight for the weary walker and provided a great coffee, tea and scone service to help restore the body. It is deceptively big inside and offers a variety of nice things to look at.It is also open on a Monday which does not apply to all places in Castleton.

Beautiful little cafe set at the rear of a quaint little shop, staff are great and very pleasent, the place is clean and tidy and food is excellent, I can highly recommend the bacon, egg and sausage sandwich.

We stopped here for a bit of lunch after having done a fairly strenuous walk over the hills! This was a lovely little cafe, which was actually a lot bigger inside than I thought it was going to be. The food was served quickly (even though they apologised for the delay!) and was very tasty and hot (I had jacket potato). We would definitely call in again when we are next in the area.

Visited the cafe for the third time today but was disappointed. I gathered that the lady who served me was new to the job (certainly front of house) and was flustered.I waited for a considerable amount of time for two hot drinks. I ordered soup which was described as something which it evidently wasn't, and when I queried this, was made to feel like I was being unreasonable. I had paid good money for the soup, which wasn't cheap, and it was lumpy and quite unappealing in all honest. There was a debate between the lady serving and the owner/manager, which was embarrassing in front of a queue of diners; I wasn't asked what I wanted but I think in the circumstances I ought to have been offered an alternative. I wasn't but nevertheless I said that I would have a cold drink, which was brought over by a helpful chap. A few minutes later, mid-conversation with my co-diner, and another member of staff interrupted without a word of excuse and starting removing crockery from the table, when we hadn't finished our hot drinks: the epitome of bad manners. I shan't be returning; service and attitude was sub-standard.

What a lovely cream tea. One of the best scones we've had in a long time.was lovely sitting out the front in the sunshine enjoying a cream tea. Staff were friendly and prices reasonable. Well worth a visit

The cream tea was average. Jam and cream were delicious but didn't eat all as scones were small hard and stale. When I complained staff apologised and refunded my money. I was impressed by this approach and service and would return and recommend others to try café.

In fondo al negozio, c'è un bellissimo bar tutto homemade... Caffè macinato sul momento e deliziosi dolci fatti dalla padrona dello shop. A noi è piaciuto!!!

We had a very enjoyable tea and scone this afternoon sitting outside with our dogs. The cafe or shop wasn't busy but the staff seemed overwhelmed. At just before 3.30pm they decided to close the cafe and we saw three couples turned away. If you close early on a busy Sunday afternoon then I am afraid you are never going to make this venture work. Close early when it's quiet and raining. We then overheard the staff on the phone, which was unprofessional, saying they were understaffed and had decided to close.

If you're looking for a pretty café which provides a decent coffee and a sandwich, this place is absolutely fine. The menu isn't extensive, but is nevertheless similar to most cafés of this ilk.We had a few issues on a very busy August Saturday lunchtime, which are probably entirely absent at all other times:We ordered ciabatta bread, but got white. We had to queue for 10 minutes to be served. No dressing was offered with the salad. The (teenage) staff were evidently overrun, having run out of glasses and jacket potatoes. One man was overcharged by accident. Breakfast isn't served during the afternoon, but it remains on the menu with no warning that this is the case.However, as I say, the cafe is likely fine outside of very busy periods. The food was adequate and the seating is situated in a pretty shop.

We called in on our visit to castleton before we went for a walk. The owner was lovely. So helpful and chatty. Beautiful clean coffee shop and such a hidden treasure at the back of the gift shop. Also some great quirky gifts in the gift shop. Well worth a visit

Visited mid afternoon on a Saturday. Welcome was ok but nothing over the top. Cream tea was not bad but scones were small and mine were burnt underneathIt was the small things really. Not given sugars for drinks. No cutlery for the tea. Swinging advertising sign kept hitting me each time the wind picked up. Lots of road noiseNot a bad place but we've had much better elsewhere.

Our 2nd visit, we even sat at the same table 2 of us had cream teas again and were not disappointed, lovely food. We had panini's, which were very generous and included salad and homemade coleslaw. We found the food to be great value and of good quality. The decor is homely, with the shops merchandise around decorating the cafe. Staff are warm and friendly, my Mom and step sister we recognised from our previous visit and had a warm welcome. We look forward to our next visit to the causeway.

Visited over the weekend for afternoon tea. The sandwiches were very cold so you could not taste the fillings. The scones were nice though. Probably wouldnt go again.

A really cosy place to visit with a great selection of goods in the shop too. The afternoon tea was very good and it was fantastic to be able to take our dog with us aswell. The waitress was really friendly and accommodating and we will definitely return and recommend.

My wife called to arrange to use a Groupon voucher in any Saturday in March, she was advised they were fully booked for the whole month on Saturdays. Not happy to accept this and with the voucher expiring March 31st I called to attempt a similar booking, being more forceful and offerering to stop by one Saturday to see if they really don't have free tables I was finally offered a booking.The food was good and so was the service, (I also noted a couple of other free tables) but lying to me about capacity when I tried to book in an obvious attempt not to honour the vouchers and prioritise (more profitable) visitors detracted from what was an otherwise excellent visit.

Organising this visit (myself and my Grandma) with a Groupon voucher was quite stressful, and if it hadn't been for this I would have given this place 5 stars. The manager (Lee) cancelled our appointment once, and attempted to relocate us to The Three Roofs on our second visit due to 'renovation work' that didn't exist. It was only through a little arguing that we got to keep our booking, which was unnecessary. The place itself, and our visit, however, was lovely. The decoration is wonderful, its clean, attractive and quaint. The staff were really friendly to us, and accommodating of my nan's fairly noisy puppy. The food was of really good quality- the sandwiches were nice (cheese and onion, egg, tuna) and the fruit scones were fresh and seriously tasty. We were offered extra tea and coffee. The whole experience was nice and of high quality.We had a really great time, and would definitely come back again. Thank you.

Homely tea rooms with very nice gift shop. Afternoon tea was served with a very pleasant young friendly waitress. We were asked on arrival if we preferred tea or coffee. I took the choice of coffee and my husband had tea. Coffee was served in a small cup. Where the tea was served in a two cup size tea pot. The two teir cake stand was brought, On the bottom plate was a very nice selection of sandwiches . The top plate was four small scones with one pot of cream and one pot of jam both full to capacity. Feel that the coffee should have been a larger size compared with the tea. But overall very nice.

Our party of 4 enjoyed sandwiches and cream tea at the causeway today and were very pleased with all aspects . Lovely food , good service and value in the cafe ( better than richmond tea rooms in manchester !! ) Nice selection of goods in the gift shop . Worth a visitWoods & Kennedys (Chapel)

Our family group of 7 adults and dog visited yesterday after a walk for groupon lunch/tea - which we had pre-booked but only earlier in the day. The tea/coffee with sandwiches and scones was delicious, particularly the warm, fresh scones and generous jam and cream - we had extra scones to clean up! (£1 each) Dogs are welcome, though would need to be well behaved as there is a lot on display in shop and cafe. We had a quick browse in the shop where there was lots of interest but will definitely return to browse and eat again - because of pretty room, cake plates, bird wallpaper, dog friendly and great service. Thanks!

I love this gift shop and always manage to find something to purchase ! Been for the groupon afternoon tea twice here - both times completely different -first time lovely fresh finger sandwiches with a side salad,cakes and cream scones. The second time nice sliced bread sandwiches and more of them,but no side salad,no cakes this time,but still with cream scones. It would be nice to be given a choice as the side salad was a lovely touch and the cream scones without extra cakes was quite enough for me.Also seen on other reviews how you were made to feel you had to pay straight away for extra drinks,when waiting until the meal was finished would have been more acceptable - we felt like this too but made a point of paying at the end. This was a little annoying ! Overall though a lovely meal in a lovely place.

Me and my boyfriend a young couple were recently bought a groupon for this cafe for Christmas 'cream tea for two'. When we got there we were told we couldn't use the groupon as we had to book in advance (which was fair enough, we didn't relaise) however he said the groupon couldn't be used on Sunday's even and groupon had got it wrong on their website (no apology) he also stated that they had no cream tea available. Which we thought was fair even though his attitude stunk. We sat down and had soup which was lovely but was served by another very rude staff member. Whilst sat, a customer ordered three cream teas!!!!! Would definatley never go back due to rude horrible staff. However food was lovely and could be a very nice place if the rota was different. Very disappointed.

We came across this shop and cafe by chance. Walk up the Main Street and just after the school you will see the causeway shop. A great shop at front with an inviting and friendly coffee shop to the rear. We had tuna melts and followed it with warm fresh scones with jam and cream. Everything was reasonably priced, fresh and served by friendly people. Would recommend you visit when in Castleton.

Friendly owners, lovely decor and atmosphere, excellent unique items and very good food and drinks in the Coffee Shop area.

We love this little shop come cafe in Castleton. Have a nosey in the shop first. We had a great afternoon today. We had afternoon tea for one and then I had a tuna melt panini and caramel slice with a pot of tea. Was gorgeous.

Visited the Causeway shop yesterday. Spotted a Bluetooth speaker I really liked but wasn't sure would pair with my iPad. The assistant was so very friendly and helpful and we agreed that I would visit again today with my iPad. She was also really helpful in showing me how Spotify worked. Nothing was too much trouble.Today we went back and saw a different member of staff (possibly Lee?) along with his dog Pippen. Hard to say which was the most delightful! Very easy to chat with and not in the slightest bit pushy in terms of selling us anything. Yes we did buy the Bluetooth speaker and were happy to buy it from The Causeway because of the enjoyable experience. We only had time for a coffee in the cafe but really wished we had timed it better as all the food we saw delivered to nearby tables looked so appetising and home made. We will definately visit again and make sure we have something to eat in the cafe.Thanks to all the staff for making walking into your lovely shop and cafe such a pleasure.

Afternoon tea was lovely and great value. Pippin the dog entertained us and was extremely cute. Definitely recommend visitors to castleton to visit here

brilliant shop ..I could have spend hundreds of pounds in there. And a lovely hidden tea room at the back where they do lovely freshly made to order food. Delightful and a real find..would thoroughly recommend it

I have visited this café/gift shop several times before with my husband. The last time was November 2013 when he was using a wheelchair. There is a slope into the shop area not too slippery either. Every effort was made at the time to accommodate him and a table was made available near the entrance by the proprietor. So I have returned to Castleton and visited again The Causeway again, the proprietor remembered me and was very pleasant and we chatted. The café serves snacks, sandwiches, soup and cakes. A nice atmosphere and surroundings, comfy booth style seating as well as ordinary chairs and tables.The food is lovely with soups freshly made at their sister café The Three Roofs on Cross Street further into town. Dogs allowed. I was offered water for my dog if I wanted it. Plenty of gift ideas in the shop, artworks, jewellery and much more. If you have a very large or bouncy dog or unruly child be aware that the passage through the gift shop to the café may be a bit tight, you would struggle to get through with a wheelchair, but I imagine help would be offered.

afternoon tea for 4 was delightful, we had a good selection of fresh sandwiches, gorgeous scones, fresh out of the oven and still warm! 2 each! Good service, warm and friendly and then a good browse throughout the shop where we were unable to resist a few purchases from the Aladdin's den of super goodies

We had a delicious portion of pumpkin soup with fresh salad and a sandwhich and tea. It was scrumptious and filling. We sat outside as we had our dog with us, but later discovered they would've allowed him indoors which is worth knowing for winter visits. The outdoor seating area is pleasant, but sadly it was a busy road so it may be better to sit further back from the fumes of the cars and lorries that is almost constant

Nice seats in the back of the gift shop. We had soup, sandwiches and salad. Homemade sponge cake with cream for dessert. If we're in Castleton again we'll stop for lunch. Polite and friendly staff.

Great Clothes and gifts for all occasions the cafe is okay. I could have a drink while the wife was shopping and did not get any Moans because she could see me!!.. ;lol

The outside patio and front shop hide a hidden gem of a delightful cafe/restaurant at the rear, all the staff were very friendly, welcoming, polite and happy to serve. The cream tea was the best cream tea in memory (and I've had lots of cream teas in the past few years), the tomato soup was homemade and so obviously fresh and served with crusty bread and butter. We will definitely be going back again! The shop was also a pleasant distraction.

Went for lunch twice in one week while staying in the area, lovely soups & sandwich's & very friendly staff.

After a nice stroll around Castleton the very helpful and thoughtful staff at the Causeway made a visit to the area all the more memorable. Very clean and welcoming shop where the sore feet can have a reprieve.

Wonderful little tea room hidden in the back of a shop. Came here on a day out with my mum and we loved it! Was just perfect for us, the food was brilliant and the service was excellent! Will be coming back here fore sure, and bring other people along too!

We have just returned from a day out to Castleton and while we were there we stopped for afternoon tea at The Causeway Shop. We were using a Living Social Voucher and although we hadn't booked, (we didn't realise we needed to), the staff said they would fit us in if we went back in an hour. The wait was worth it. The sandwiches were delicious and generous in size. The scones were the best scones we had tasted and came with plenty of jam and cream. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. We will definately be returning.

I loved this little gift shop and found some really lovely things and so inexpensive . Love the handbags and clothing . My partner loved the scones and jam !!

I managed to find presents for all of my brothers family in one visit which was amazing as it often takes me ages to find them all something nice.They also do a mean tea cake toastie!

What a lovely place to find on a wet summers day in Castleton. After browsing through this shop we found a lovely cafe at the rear. Coffee and cakes went down a treat. Very friendly service from all...even Moira, a lovely lady doing the washing up came over to say hello. We shared a joke about my mother's bush....Left with a smile and a full tummy. Tip: also benefitted from an ATM inside which is free to use (These are a bit rare in the village). Definitely would go back and try an afternoon snack or cream tea). Charming all round.

The Cafe is at the back of the shop so can be missed; it is a lovely place to have a restorative cake and drink; the menu caters for all likely orders. The staff a very attentive and polite, we only had coffee and ice cream (very yummy) but other customers food looked very nice as well. The shop also has some very nice items for sale; definitely worth a visit for gifts or food.

Enjoyed a flavorsome latte after being served very promptly. The staff were both polite and friendly which added to the experience. The atmosphere was quiet and a refreshing change to the hustle & bustle to Sheffield.

I just popped in for a quick tea with scones and cream on my way to the bus station, and it was really just perfect for that - a little tea, delicious scones and cream and strawberry jam. It wasn't fancy, but it was fast and nice which was exactly what I was looking for right then. The cafe is behind the shop.

Soup of Leek & Potato was very tasty and fresh with an accompanying sandwich. We had turkey; again lovely and fresh. Great shop, very friendly and helpful staff. Immaculate cafe.

We didn't order good but sat in the garden with a drink with our dog, service was great and one of the staff members even brought a bowl of water out for our dog.We looked around the shop and purchased some items, the staff where extremely friendly and very welcoming.

We have visited the Causeway before and their sandwiches and cream tea are always delicious. We have eaten both outside and in always with very friendly service and a smile in beautiful surroundings. Definitely a place to visit.
