We came upon this cafe while searching Helmsley for somewhere to eat. Having looked at a lot, hotels, cafes, Italian restaurant etc. we decided this filled the criteria we wanted, a good choice of menu, clean, tidy & popular with really competitive prices. 2 of us had quiche of the day ( broccoli & cheese) served with jacket potato, salad, coleslaw & crisps, it was an ample plateful which we couldn’t finish. Our husbands went for the cheeseburger with bacon, served with chips, salad & coleslaw. Both said their meals were delicious too but my hubby struggled with the amount of food. The portions are extremely good so I would recommend going when you are really hungry. It appeared that it was run by husband & wife team, wife cooking & husband serving, clearing & cleaning tables & making drinks. We were there about an hour, with a busy turnover of customers, some not getting in at all, approximately seating for 22-24 so timing is crucial, we bagged the last 2 pieces of quiche, which was lucky, so be warned.

Súper little place. We had homemade tomato soup served with a large bread roll followed by a huge Chelsea bun for me and a blueberry and lemon scone for him all washed down with a fine cup of Yorkshire tea served with a delicious ginger biscuit on the side. It’s a small eating area upstairs only seating about 8 or 10 people but if you’re lucky enough to get in you’re in for a treat 😁

A lovely little cafe in the quaint town of Helmsley. Plenty to do in the area and lots of cafes to choose from, but this one stood out. The food is delicious, home-made and comes in huge portions! Dog-friendly inside and out - highly recommend!

We did a long walk from the Abbey to get to town and then randomly walked around until we found somewhere that looked nice to eat (there are many places in town but the menu here is what appealed to us) Nicely decorated small cafe. Varied menu (and all the food we saw going past us looked very nice) I got the beef burger with cheese. The beef had a nice taste and was cooked nicely. Came with a ridiculously large amount of cheese (which was very messy to eat, but also very welcome!) in a lovely fresh brioche bun. Came with plenty of well cooked thick chips and lots of fresh salad/coleslaw. My wife got the lemon berry sundae. Also a large portion (never an issue with ice cream!) and had lovely lemon curd ice cream as well as strawberry ice cream. With plenty of raspberry coulis and some wafers. Prices were good (especially for the portion sizes) and the staff were really nice and friendly. They had a good looking selection of cakes and other treats, but by the time we'd eaten our food there was no room left for anything else! Would highly recommend this place.

We visited the cafe again today for yet another cream tea. Those scones are to die for and have to be the best we've ever tasted. The proprietor is very attentive and friendly, who also comes from the same town as me! So from one Stocktonian to another, it was nice to chat with you and we will visit your cafe again soon.

Visited Helmsley for the day with our dog and stopped in here for some lunch. Having been here before we knew the jacket potatoes were excellent as they have a potato oven. My wife ordered the one with beans and I had the cheese one. He gave the option of having the cheese melted which I took and it was perfect. Mine arrived with a nice side salad and coleslaw. My wife said her baked beans one was very nice and it had a very generous portion of beans. We also had a pot of decaf tea between us. Unlike other cafes they had given the bag a bit of a steep to ensure that when the tea arrived it was ready to pour. Overall the food and drink was excellent and great value for money. It was a lovely atmosphere and they were very friendly to us and our large dog. It was like being part of a family. Have been before, will come again.

Visited Helmsley on a cold and wintery Tuesday and found a very warm welcome at the Cocoa Tree. The interior is bright, airy and very nicely decorated and furnished. The cafe serves a good selection of light meals, sandwiches, cakes and deserts. We had home made soup, baked potato with cream cheese and smoked salmon, served with a side salad. Then we had the Discovery fruit cake, made with apricots, ginger and brandy and served with a slice of Wensleydale. All was delicious and the owner was extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommended. Would definitely return.

We were spoilt for choice from the menu and specials boards everything sounded delicious. The staff were all friendly and efficient and the food was superb.

We visited the Cocoa Tree in this lovely small town to get something to eat following a recommendation at our Airbnb nearby. With two dogs in tow the cafe was properly dog friendly. The owners were really welcoming including a sausage treat for the dogs. The dogs enjoyed it so much we ordered sausage and onion baguettes which came with a side salad and slaw. Filling, tasty and good value. We’ll definitely go back again when we’re next in the area.

Coping with social distancing very well with hand sanitiser as you go in and on each table (not there are a lot now!).Very warm welcome, good menu choice at reasonable prices. Friendly owners who make you feel at home.They also allow dogs in which is always a bonus!Try it, you won’t be disappointed

My partner and I popped in on Sunday, our second visit, for a bite to eat while visiting Helmsley for the day. We decided to have the cream tea for 2 and I have got to say the scone was the loveliest I have ever tasted, it just melted in the mouth absolutely beautiful. Also the owner was very chatty and friendly. We will certainly make a return visit.

We were looking for a place to eat lunch on a very hot Saturday and after reading the reviews decided to try The Cocoa Tree. What a find, a lovely air conditioned cafe run by 2 really friendly staff. We were told the outdoor area was closed as they are unable to social distance, the cleaning after each group had left their table was extremely thorough. We both had a quiche salad, very fresh and tasty and a generous sized portion. We didn't have room for cake or ice cream which looked equally delicious. Would highly recommend, please support this business right now as they have very limited tables available.Thank you

Just a little way along Castlegate, this small coffee shop is full of good drinks, good cakes and a good, friendly sense of humour. Excellent place for a cuppa and a cake.We enjoyed tea and a couple of ice creams (oh, if only I could have managed a cake or two) last week with unintrusive but well organised arrangements for Covid. nothing seemed to be too much trouble.Likely to return when next visiting, passing through or just making a detour.

We stayed for bed and breakfast here. The house is in a beautiful peaceful setting overlooking meadows. Hosts very friendly. Comfortable bedroom. The TV reception is scrambled and there is no phone signal - so I would recommend enabling WiFi calling on your phone and bring a book 😃

We chose the Middleton arms after seeing pictures of the gammon steak on Facebook, unfortunately this was sold out on the evening we went along with a few other dishes on the menu. I ordered the potato skins starter which came as a large portion which I enjoyed followed by Whitby scampi, this was average with frozen scampi. My wife had garlic mushrooms for starter which was okay, for main she had steak pie which she said was very nice.

Having been to the Stapleton Arms at Wass on many occasions and even been shown the bedrooms, 4 of us booked B&B and evening meals. I booked online 2 rooms. The 'Superior' room £150 per night and the other £100. However, we were not aware the venue had changed hands but it almost immediately became apparent. The stairs leading to the bedrooms looked very tierd and unhoovered. The landing and our bedroom stank of burnt fat and the rooms were very basic and on opening the wardrobe I found empty drink bottles. The door to the shower had black rising up it and the shower just ran like a tap.. Our meal was fine and our friends ordered a bottle of champagne which cost £70 which we were happy to pay but when the bill for the meal arrived it was altogether £340. They had even charged extra for a blob of icecream on my pudding as they said icecream was an extra. Next morning we met at breakfast only to discover that our friend staying in the 'Superior' room, one of whom is very seriously ill and this was supposed to be a treat during a break from treatment, found the shower was not working and they couldn't find a shaving ;point. Just to add insult to injury one of our party ordered a poached egg and when it arrived the toast was burnt black on the underside and my bacon was floating in fat. Had it not been for the fact that one of our party was very ill and we didn't want to make a fuss we paid up the bill and left. Not once did the manager ask us if everything was o.k. He was totally uninterested. What a nightmare stay. Never again, The next morning I phoned to speak to the owner but she was not at work but would ring me on the Thursday of that week. She never rang. I rang back a week later and was told the owner had been given my complaint and she would ring me but another weerk later I have received no response. I suppose she is £600 better off and we will never grace their doors again.

Well…such a delightful and cosy place to be, seems like everything is happening here. A really beautiful vibe and welcoming from everyone. We came for breakfast and the food was delicious. We love to support an independent.
