The Central Coffee House in Hambleton

A hidden gem. Went here because of reviews. They were spot on. Brilliant cafe with great food, great service and value or money. Have told all my friends to go here. Will be back.

We visited Central Coffee House for breakfast and had a bacon sandwich and coffee. The cafe has a lovely inviting interior and also offers attractive outdoor seating. The bacon sandwich was served on thick sliced white bread and the bacon was thick and sensational. The coffee was also great. We took away a delicious chocolate rice krispie cake. Service was bubbly.

This is a lovely coffee shop. We had a lovely pot of tea and a goats cheese panini with salad and coleslaw which I felt was reasonably priced. It's a cosy establishment with friendly and efficient, welcoming staff. Well worth a visit.

Stopped here for lunch whilst shopping in Northallerton with my sister. Lovely selection of food on the menu. I had the chicken and avocado salad which was really fresh and delicious. Highly recommend a visit.

Called at this place for a coffee and bite to eat. Ordered a cappuccino and Bacon, Brie and Chutney Ciabatta, I think it was. Coffee lovely and smooth, not quite hot enough for my liking. My Ciabatta served with a bit of salad, it was very, very tasty. My only gripe was that the bacon had too much fat on for my liking it could have done with being trimmed. Service was prompt by friendly, nicely presented staff. It had some lovely music playing, the decor was appealing and overall had a pleasant atmosphere. I paid circa £10 which was very good. Definitely a place worth a return visit.

Wonderful little cafe with gorgeous Cheese & Bacon scones! Really lovely staff and decor. I’ll definitely be calling in again!

This is a lovely cafe on Northallerton high street. The venue is cosy and nicely decorated. There is also a small amount of outdoor, on street seating. There is an excellent menu for breakfast and lunch. We were there for breakfast and had an espresso, Americano and bacon sandwich. The coffees were smooth and delicious and the bacon sandwich very well stacked with bacon and on delicious chunky white bread. Service was friendly and the prices very reasonable.

Great coffee (with a lotus biscuit!), lovely staff. Cosy, friendly atmosphere and great cafe music - nothing loud just playing softly in the background. It's also got a nice selection of deli food. Highly recommended.

This cafe has the best coffee in Northallerton. Hands down. For those who love a proper coffee, my advice is to steer well clear of the chain establishments on the high street and go straight to Central Coffee House. The service is warm and personal, you would be supporting a locally owned and run family business and most importantly the coffee is fantastic! Having been spoilt with numerous choices of coffee shops in London, it was great to find this gem which is on a par with my favourite places in the capital but with better service. I also took away a scone and brownie which I understand are baked on site and they were also excellent.

Fantastic little find. Delicious tasty and filling breakfast and very reasonably priced. I chose the small breakfast, which included 4 items of my choice, toast and coffee all for £7 I was warmly greeted, swiftly served a hot, clean good quality meal. Then leisurely drank my coffee afterwards. It was a lovely chilled atmosphere. Will definitely return.

Stop off here a few times for a drink and something to eat. It's always been lovely and friendly in there. Nice chilled vibe and food is always amazing.

This is the best coffee for miles. The food is always freshly made and tastes amazing. Apart from the food, all the staff are efficient and friendly. It's a pleasure to come here and also support a local business.

We live in the area, and work our way regulatly round a number of places in Northallerton for breakfast. Gave the Central Coffee House a try this week after not going there since before Lockdown, and we will certainly be back there many more times. My Breakfast Burrito was wonderful - full of taste, quality products, and well presented. The menu was impressive, in fact it was difficult what not to choose. Their cakes looked really tempting. Service was excellent - efficient and friendly.

That is all..... But apparently I have to write at least 100 characters, so... ....what's your favourite cheese? I like a bit of Danish Blue myself

We called here for lunch today, I had a haloomi salad a large bowl of salad with haloomi and avocado and lots of other salad things a real good helping under £6. My fellow eaters had toasted ciabattas with went down a treat tea for 3 cost about 21 pounds. Good service from the waitress.we ate outside

I called into the Central Coffee House while visiting Northalleton. A lovely independent cafe. Very friendly service. A good menu and lovely food and drink.

Accomadating friendly staff they couldn't do enough for us. great service, good food what more do you need.well done ladies. Shame you don't have more space.

Was visiting Northallerton for the morning, found the coffee house on tripadvisor and it lived up to the reviews. Excellent service and our brunch and coffee was lovely, all fresh local produce. Would recommend and we will definitely be back on our next visit!

Called in for a coffee and bacon sandwich this morning after dropping the car off at the dealership for a service. A cheerful and upbeat welcome from Emma as always then settled in to a window seat at the front of the house. Best coffee in Northallerton was in front of me within a few minutes followed by a freshly prepared bacon sandwich - with real bread and real bacon. Steady flow of regulars visited while I was there to pick up their 'usual' and a regular joined me at the high bar at the front of the house. Definitely worth passing the usual branded outlets on the High Street for a real cafe experience.

First time we’ve both been here, it was amazing, the atmosphere, service and the food was fantastic. I had the chicken and avocado salad absolutely fantastic, fresh, vibrant and tasty, and amazing value for money for £5.75. Will be back again when we are in Northallerton, will be soon as we only live in Snape. Thanks guys.

My favourite cafe in town. Had the most amazing chicken avocado salad here the other day, great coffee (I’m a coffee snob) and always a lovely selection of goodies from the shop. Always friendly staff.

Spot on - you need to get some of those canopy heaters to get more seating outside!? Great job - come see us at Manchega Ripon - share the love in all that’s good in home cooking/fun times/quality market town experiences X

Best coffee shop in the North East. Amazing coffee, sandwiches and cakes. I'm moving to Northallerton from Newcastle and this is the best place in town!

A gem. Found this coffee shop by accident whilst parking my car. Very good coffee and excellent chocolate gateway. Staff very helpful and friendly even with covid restrictions in place. Highly recommended.

If in these strange times, you are missing out on a proper Afternoon Tea you have come to the right place at the Central Coffee House. The Takeaway Afternoon Tea has to be pre booked but don’t let this put you off because when you...

Okay so you cannot sit in with your coffee and yummy scone but you can enjoy those where ever! But the new range of hampers, artisan breads, and local and unusual food stuffs available are amazing! Great effort by Emma and her team to keep...

Lovely breakfast can have in 2 sizes we had half one and it was lovely with toast and coffee. Been once before and will go back when back in northallerton. Good menu and cheerful staff. Another customer praising scones.

Such a friendly cafe and the staff are always helpful and smiley. I usually end up with more than I went in for! The hot food selection is great and they even sell some tasty vegan sausage rolls and pastries, which is rare for Northallerton...

High quality parking out at the front.Market day today Wednesday but plenty of room inside and out.for Seating.

Fantastic cafe. Service with a smile, fabulous range of food including a good selection of Gluten free options. Reasonable prices. What more could you possibly want?

Great location, small but well laid out, immaculately clean, inviting displays of cakes, scones and specials to buy, choice of reading material, great food and the best coffee in town, very friendly staff and exceptional value.

Called in for a late snack, and found a café with great homemade cakes, scones and traybakes on offer at really good prices.

Only been working in Northallerton since October, this lovely place was recommended by a colleague.... Its my new go to place to sit, chill and have a lovely lunch break 😍

Been coming here regularly for 8 years now , always busy , but we always stand and wait for a table Truly fabulous place, food so fresh , brilliant menu , staff very attentive and always happy , so helpful I care for an Autistic...

You receive a very warm welcome from the staff good selection of food and drinks we sat outside under the awning has we had our dog Horace with us we both had a pot of tea and cream scones beautiful and light at reasonable prices

I've eaten in here a few years ago and really enjoyed it. Was in town the other day and a friend suggested a take out drink. She got coffee, I got hot chocolate. I also got a cheese and bacon scone and she got a...

Visited here for lunch and had a panini and hot drink - nice place for a light snack or lunch. Staff were friendly.

The coffee is excellent and one can also choose from a selection of cocktail options.However, what sets Central Coffee House apart is the amazing selection of delicious homemade items. My favorites to date are the savory scones - including jalapeño and cheese and bacon but there is also an amazing selection of homemade sweet items which I look forward to trying.The place also does a mean bacon sandwich and the staff are very welcoming and great fun. All in all, a far more interesting and enjoyable experience than going to a chain coffee shop...

I love this place....its small but quirky and the staff are lovely too. Would recommend a light lunch here if you are visiting Northallerton. Not a lot of space BUT he food more than makes up for this.

This is without doubt the best cafe in Northallerton. Although only small, this cafe packs a punch with lovely cakes, meals and staff. The breakfast deal of a refill tea or coffee and bacon sandwich for only £5 is great for breakfast. The lunches are also delicious with very generous portions and fresh ingredients used. The staff are also very attentive and service tends to be quick and efficient.

What a find, the Central Coffee House on Northallerton High Street, we had been given a voucher as a gift so booked up for afternoon Tea for 2. It was absolutely lovely from start to finish, the young lasses who were serving there were cheerful but very efficient, the sandwiches were spot on BUT the cakes were truly amazing, salted caramel chocolate torte was 1 of the choices and it was incredible. No complaints whatsoever. Try this place for lovely staff and great food / cakes / scones / ploughman’s etc etc.

I was in the area for a job interview and needed to kill time before my train. I found this cafe and decided to have breakfast and a drink.

Popped in for a dink and breakfast. Friendly helpful staff, good selection of food and drinks, very good value for money and the food was very good. Highly recommend.

Great coffee, cakes, bacon sandwiches, avocado toast etc and lovely people. Breakfast, lunch, or just a coffee - can’t be bettered!

This cafe has a very friendly, welcoming team. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service is efficient. The variety of food available is excellent with a good selection of choices including (understated) vegetarian options. Good coffee which the staff are happy to serve at the end of the meal. Definitely go again.

Lovely food. .lovely staff. ..will go again and again. .unable to find fault. .each visit to Northallerton means a bite to eat here. .

Food is excellent with some clever sandwich choices...more than cheese, ham or tuna mayo. Nice salads & excellent scones especially the cheese ones. Cakes are also very nice too. Tea & especially coffee are is good. Only downside is it is small so sometimes there are no seats so have a wonder down the High St for 10 mins or leave till after 1pm or before 12. The staff are very friendly and obliging. A real gem of a cafe.

Very nice food and a good variety, friendly atmosphere but not very friendly staff. I think they had been busy so were a bit stressed. I would go back again.

Really popular cafe - and justifiably so. Great food, drinks and service. Good selection of drinks and food.

This is one of our very favourite places for a lunch-time snack or hot chocolate. The cafe though small has a quirky and uncluttered interior and provides comfortable seating. Service is friendly. The menu is interesting and offers a wide choice of freshly made and very tasty paninis, sandwiches and baguettes. One can also choose soup or lunch-time specials. Cakes/scones are very good....the list is endless! Prices are incredibly reasonable. I can't recommend this place enough.

We just stopped off for a coffee & was tempted by the smell of bacon cooking, so had a bacon sarnie as well ! Coffee was nice, and bacon sarnie crisped up as I asked for it. Good service & the bonus of sitting outside on a nice warm day.

The Central Coffee House is a smallish cafe at the far end of the High Street towards the church. There are only half a dozen tables, but they also have counter seating by the window.

We try to visit Northallerton every month and this place is definitely our favourite for breakfast. Our daughter loves the milkshakes! The service and food is excellent.

Really good popular café serving first class food and drinks. Bacon sandwiches are excellent and good value. Service is very good can be busy but that is a good sign.

Nice Cafe,clean and tidy followed by good service nice variety of food both hot and cold,good choice of pickles , spices, jams etc etc,it is very popular so you might have to wait awhile for a table

Popped in for breakfast all three meals were good my bacon sandwich was perfect the bread was so fresh , will definitely be going back as the salads on the menu boards sounded delicious

Always get my nails done next door and popped in here for breakfast afterwards. So pleased I did as the tea and the food was delicious! The staff were very friendly and it was busy. I have since been back for lunch and will be a regular visitor from now on.

I always go to Hair And beauty secrets about every 5 weeks and always call in at this amazing coffee house, I always ask for a take away salad and a small bottle of Pinot Grigio

It's lovely to sit on the tall seats and look out to the top end of the high street. (I imagine it's nice outside on a warm day) Always got lovely scone or cake of the day. Really nice

We stop off on the way to see my daughter in Darlington usually a Saturday and if they were open on a Sunday we would stop off on the way back too. The staff are very friendly and are always busy because the food and coffee is excellent. Lovely farmhouse sandwiches and delicious cakes, flapjacks etc. Would really recommend.

Consistently great food and service. Often cannot get a seat! Worth the wait though. Staff cheery and very helpful. Takeout service also. Nice selection of sandwiches and toasted open sandwiches not often on offer at other places.

Love this place. Pay a bit more but you get what u pay for. Always so busy, which is a really good sign

Great food and the staff are really friendly. We quite often have take always from here. Always happy with what we get.

Amazing (and I mean AMAZING) coffee. Also had a club sandwich which was absolutely delicious, served with a good handful of some of the tastiest crisps I’ve ever come across, and delicious coleslaw. Can’t wait to go back tomorrow lunchtime, and cannot recommend enough.

Anyone who likes to eat in a large,impersonal and expensive Cafe serving tasteless,

Cash only. A selection of paninnis and sandwiches. Lovely Asparagus and Pea soup. Toilet is meant to be accessible but...

Cannot comment on the food but the coffee here is dreadful. My wife and i had take out flat whites...

Great food and the best coffee in town.

One word, Delicious, as was the hot chocolate and cappuccinos in fact always go large as we didn't and wanted more

On numerous occasions we have had delicious food at this establishment. A lovely atmosphere, warm and friendly,, as well as home made, fresh and tasty snacks, from both the menu and the specials board. Yesterday we had Aberdeen Angus toasted beef sandwich and smoked salmon & crushed avocado on toast - which were exquisite. Coffee is consistently good and the service helpful and polite. We will definitely be back!!

Called in for lunch and was delighted to find a free table as often too full and have to forgo or wait. Lovely salad made with fresh ingredients as you order and request of dressing separate no problem. Staff always give great customer care and food always meets expectations. Certainly recommend a visit.

My favourite daytime eatery in Northallerton. Fresh and lovely ingredients - always delicious. Highly recommended.

Avocado on sourdough toast - delicious and thankfully free of animal products. Nice coffee too. Hope to see more on the menu for vegans in future.

Best coffee in town and the only place that sells vegan tray bakes! Great chilled out place and the Staff are super nice too!

Visited for the first time today. Lovely afternoon tea, very good value for money. Pleasant staff, lovely company, perfect afternoon really. Will be calling again.

Hearty portions and a great menu. A long list of options to choose from on the menu and specials board. Seating outside under a canopy for those wishing to eat here but have a dog with you. Excellent tasty well presented food and friendly helpful staff.

My husband and I ate here Monday 10th July while holidaying in the area. It was really busy but a good sign that the food was good. We got a table and ordered the creamy white onion soup with rosemary and a cheese ham and tomato sandwich. The soup was amazing one of the best soups I have ever had it was served with a delicious warm bacon and cheese scone. My husbands sandwich was also very tasty. We finished with a butterfly bun and a bakewell slice both delicious. The staff were lovely and could not do enough. Many thanks and would highly recommend and return when next in the area.

Needed a bolt hole in the rain and I was welcomed to stay and work from my laptop. Nice staff, great food and coffee. Thanks for the borrowed electric guys

Great little cafe with a good assortment of snacks and a range of coffees and teas etc. It can get busy so get in earlier in the day. The staff are friendly and attentive. If you sit in the window you can relax and watch the 'world' go by.

We called in here for a spot of lunch, the coffee house was busy and we were lucky to get a table straight away. The coffee house was immaculate, the table we were seated at was clean, well stocked with cutlery and condiments. The waitress that served us was polite and friendly, it was a lovely atmosphere to enjoy lunch. The newly renovated decor really suits the coffee house and adds to the charm of the place. The food and drinks were brought out to us promptly. Anybody who is a chocoholic will LOVE their extreme hot chocolates! A tall hot chocolate topped with cream and accompanied by a dish of marshmallows,chocolate buttons and rolos. Which for someone who has a sweet tooth was a real delight. We both opted for the chicken,chorizo and chilli jam paninis. These came with crisps, side salad and a homemade slaw. All these flavours came together perfectly and the portion sizes were just right. We finished our lunch off with two slices of their homemade caramelised biscuit cheesecake, this came with a jug of cream and fresh strawberries. This dessert was excellent, tasty and light. The Central coffee house is without a doubt one of the best if not the best place for lunch in Northallerton. The pricing for the food is extremely reasonable especially regarding the quality of food that you receive. Anybody who is a regular to Northallerton or visiting the town must make a point in calling in.

The food I tried was average at best & the staff appeared to be disorganised & not particularly helpful. Will not be visiting The Central Coffee House again!

Lovely little cafe the food looked delicious, although we just had coffee which was very nice. The serving was rather small for the price compared to similar coffee places. Rather small place so a little cramped. Very busy so obviously very popular however. Pleasant stop.

We like the different flavours of the paninis that are on offer here. There are lots of great sandwiches and scones and cakes. If you want to try something different visit this cafe.i only gave it 4 stars because there is not much space inside but we were informed that it is to be extended at the weekend so more tables will be available. It's worth a visit. Very quaint.

This place is small so you have to time it well to get a table or be prepared to wait. Although it's worth the wait as the food is amazing and super tasty. It only has a small choice menu but it's all fresh and tasty. The staff are welcoming and friendly and I believe they do take outs but we are still to try this. When asked for recommendations of places to eat in Northallerton this is always the one I recommend.

After a prolonged period of not coming here om back. This cafe gets better and better, excellent atmosphere, mouthwatering fabulous tasty food at a good price. I highly recommend the warm goats cheese salad, seriously delicious .. Great Coffee to, all in all, to me, still the best cafe in Northallerton and it beats anything that Darlington has to offer.

Often pop if nearby. Good selection of sandwiches and cakes. Can be cramped as not a lot of space though.

I visit Emma and the gang most weeks. Excellent coffee and fantastic food. Soups are delicious as are the salads, sandwiches and cakes. In fact it all is, like being in heaven. You cannot forget the staff either, excellent and very friendly caring for all their customers. See you soon again... B....

My sister and I were having a girls day out shopping. We visited the Central Coffee House for lunch in the February half term and were delighted with the quality of the food and the service. I chose broccoli and stilton soup, served with a bacon and cheese scone, whereas my sister chose pate with rustic bread, both of which were delicious. The soup was lovely and the large fresh scone came with plenty of butter. My sister was given a huge chunk of pate with rustic/crusty bread and butter, which came with a salad. All the food was presented well and tasted delicious. We were so full after our snack that we needed time before returning to share an enormous slice of coffee and walnut cake and a pot of tea. The staff were friendly and attentive and the premises very welcoming. It was just a lovely experience well worth telling others about.

Friendly small cafe with attentive staff and an interesting varied menu of snacks and light meals. We had coffees and panini ; coffee is pretty strong so ask for only one shot unless you really like it strong; panini was delicious and really well-presented with good accompaniments. The main detraction was that the counters were sticky, chairs covered in crumbs, floor dirty, and on looking up the ceiling and window recess were full of cobwebs! This really makes it difficult to enjoy your food and you feel like you need to wash your hands. I really hope the attention to cleanliness is better in the food preparation areas! It's a shame as the decor, menus, staff are all good quality. Spend an evening with the marigolds on guys!

Enjoyed a great Mocca with Caramel dash, and a brilliant Salted Caramel cake slice. Well cooked and enjoyed in this busy but friendly coffee house. Locals abounded, friends backslapping and chatting but happy to greet a solo visitor. Will enjoy a coffee here again as I visit the area. Easy car parking at roadside reserved area outside.

This is a small cafe so be prepared to have to wait for a seat and to be served if it's busy but it's worth the wait. We called on a busy Saturday afternoon and we're lucky a couple were just leaving so we managed to get a table. Even though the staff were run off there feet they remained calm, friendly and helpful and always smiling. We choose of the special board, duck pate, toast and chutney and bacon on toast with smashed avocado and both dishes were well presented and were amazing full of favour and super tasty. There are only a couple of food places we would recommend to others in Northallerton and this is definitely one. So if you in Northallerton and looking for a place to eat go here you will not be disappointed.

Met my niece for lunch last week. We both had paninis. I had a bacon brie and cranberry one. It was beautifully presented on a wooden platter with small dish of homemade coleslaw, small salad and crisps . Would recommend a visit :)

This is a proper little gem of a place. Myself & my husband called in for a late lunch & had sandwiches & scones with tea. Seriously the best coronation chicken I've ever had & the ham & mustard is top notch. The bread they use is so good too. I also wish I could make scones like that. Service was great too. Really friendly. Absolutely love this place.

Stopped here the other day for a quick cup of tea which didn't disappoint. Sociable cafe, which is obviously popular with locals of all ages. As it's towards the northern end of Northallerton, beyond the main market place, it was easy to park - get a ticket for free half hour parking. Will stop again.

Quality of customer service and food remains as high as ever. A little gem of a place! Range of hot/cold light bites, good coffee, scrummy cakes and bakes - generally great quality care with customers and food.

We called in for a quick coffee but after seeing the menu decided that we would share a sandwich. The ladies working there were very welcoming and friendly. The service was quick. Our Americano coffees were tasty and the small biscuit was delicious. Our sandwich was a panini with chicken, chorizo and sweet chilli sauce. Delicious and filling. It was served garnished with coleslaw, crisps and salad. The presentation was quaint. All this and very inexpensive too.This was our first visit but we will be back and will certainly be having more to eat.

Small but perfectly formed. Called for a sandwich but too late, not sure why it was too late as sandwiches are not that difficult to prepare but stayed as desperate for a cuppa and had a scone instead. Good service and the scone was fine. Pleasant atmosphere.

Popped in for a quick bite and wasn't disappointed. Great selection of hot and cold sandwiches as well as salads. Some of the home made scones looked fab. Decent coffee to boot. Would definitely return.

Called in with colleague for lunch after a meeting. Had not checked in advance of what was served but a ham, cheese and mushroom panini and soup were really good quality nicely presented with some really good coffee as well.
