The Green Apple Cafe & Bistro in Hambleton

We had a lovely lunch here today. Can highly recommend for delicious good-value plant-based food, and the menu is varied with some innovative options. The staff were friendly and made us all feel very welcome, including the toddler In our party 😊 He enjoyed the ice cream that was included with his meal from the kid's menu.

Amazing food, amazing decor and place, and fabulous service and polite staff. Much more than a vegan based place. Food is delicious for everyone and all tastes. Dog friendly also.

bit pricey but the food is v tasty I'd say its worth the money . the atmosphere is pretty nice if its not busy n the decor is really nice

Superb food and service. Opened especially for us on a Friday evening! Great people - made our week - big thank you!

Hidden gem, unreal food and the staff are extremely friendly

I have to say this is a very friendly welcoming place to eat with a decent sized vegan menu you receive a warm welcome and the service is excellent we all had various items from the menu and out of the five of us we all agreed it was very nice indeed so no complaints with the standards of food service or cleanliness as it is spotless, but and here is the but we all agreed that it is very expensive and pushes the boundaries of cost both myself and my wife are plant based so we know how much it costs to make these meals as we eat them every day granted it is not the same situation and does not carry the obvious overheads but when I look at a small portion of frozen French fries at a cost of &4.95 I then genuinely believe things are out of hand that is just short of &15 for three small portions of fries which is crazy and the drinks are very pricey aswell it is a shame to be mentioning cost as the whole experience was really nice and the food is again very nice but you have to be realistic and say is this a place you can go to on a regular basis well for us definitely not In my humble opinion I believe it is a one off kind of place due to the cost and not an every day experience again it has to be mentioned as this is an honest review

Amazing, soooo tasty. Love the vibe.

Fabulous vegan options, enjoyed cake, coffee and hot chocolate. Recommend a visit.

Our fave local cafe! The kindest staff and best food around🥰 also 11/10 recommend the matcha here, so so good!

Absolutely delicious food great coffee and gorgeous such helpful staff and owners

vegan-only restaurant, but as a meat-eater I think this might just be my favourite place to eat in all of the Tees valley. The gyros is incredible, really friendly staff and a cool aesthetic in both music and decor. Well worth the drive

Lovely lunch and really nice team. So glad I found this place- food was delicious!

Lovely food, as always. Service was excellent- so friendly.

This is a reflection of my most recent visit and not previous visits, which would have scored higher than this. 1) very noisy - smoothie maker and coffeemake in fron of house makes for a very noisy and unrelaxed experience - didnt enjoy. 2) Wait time - busy day but wait was exceptionally long, we had booked. 3) Food out at different times (not too much of an issue but could have been better) therefore food definitely could have been hotter - not a fan of luke warm food, they seemed so busy that it is probable couldnt get everything to table promptly. didnt complain as would have had to wait even longer. 4) Portions and presentation - portions a lot smaller than before with no garnish therefore feel its expensive (added some extras which meant we were full but a v expensive lunch). Presentstion could also be better. (portions, attention to detail and garnish were better as green apple cafe) 5) Staff - owner lovely, and wish them sucess in their new venture but a few tweaks required to take this to good (in mine and other guests opinion on this visit) 6) Cost - expensive for portions (as above) though accept prices are sky high at the moment 7) Menu is good, with some great choices. 8) overall - although the last visit could definitely have been better, hence the score, I will continue to support this cafe because I truly believe in vegan food (saving the planet, animals and my own health is important to me). There are limited vegan offerings so its fab this is venue is available so close by. The owner(s) is/are friendly and this is a new venture for them so i am more than happy to return and hope they take on customer review comments.

Extremely friendly staff, lovely ambience and delicious hot drinks!

Lovely welcome, staff were brilliant. Explained everything if not sure of any item. Would definitely go on a regular basis and would recommend people to try.

We are holidaying near Stokesley and have had a lovely lunch at this welcoming cafe. It was a really cold windy day today but the cafe was warm and comfortable. We are vegetarian and it was such a treat to have a whole menu to choose from. Our food was delicious and the staff very friendly and efficient. Highly recommended.

Really nice atmosphere, very relaxed. Staff were all absolutely lovely and the food was great. We hadn’t even realised it was fully plant based, all delicious. We will definitely be back!!

Lovely lunch .. attentive pleasant staff . Well worth a visit .

Tasty food, you get good portion sizes, along with very friendly caring staff

Some of the best food we've had in a while in Teesside. I had the bao buns which I can recommend. Sticky toffee pudding also good.

Such a wonderful place. Beautiful, wholesome, plant based menu which from the outside, doesn’t look to be vegan. What I love is how so much care and effort has been made into preserving much of the same fab menu from the previous owners and then adding a few twists and surprises. Love the new decor and it looks so pretty at night inside. A really lovely date night with your other half or friends or parent! Amazing staff. Completely forgot to take photos but will next time. If you’re in the area and don’t have time to stay- grab one of the amazing scones or cakes for takeaway. Will be back soon!

Absolutely delicious vegan food, fresh produce, beautifully prepared. Well worth a visit. Excellent!!

Love this place which was the Green Apple. We had breakfast today (my friend had the bagel and I had the smashed avocado; both had an oat flat white - all delicious). The new look is good. Bit disappointed to hear the owners/chefs are meat eaters so I wonder how long it will stay fully plant based?

Oh WOW! New owners Neil & Amy were warm and welcoming and chatty upon our 1st visit in 2024. The closure allowed them to add some amazing decor and new photos and signage. They have clearly worked hard to make it amazingly welcoming in such a short space of time. As a regular to 2 prior owners it certainly was a lovely experience. The winter stew was amazing… As a vegetarian it’s lovely to have this gem on our doorstep and Debs and the staff are amazing.

We were a bit nervous because its recently changed hands and it was one of my go to places for delicious lunches but we were not disappointed! The menu has barely changed and is still plant based, A good selection of local beers on offer. The food is bursting with flavour and full of textures. The portions are robust too so I always end up taking some home with me. Whether your vegan/veggie or not (I'm not!) the food is absolutely delightful. We'll be back soon!

Food was delicious. Service was with a smile and a bit of fun. Atmosphere was chatty. The only reason I gave 4 stars was I would have like the log burner lit, not that it was cold it just would have been nice

Had a wonderful lunch to celebrate my Mum's birthday - fantastic to have so much choice. Lovely food and friendly, helpful staff . Would definitely recommend 😊

Great place to visit - lovely food and lovely staff - can't wait to return

Just called in for a lovely breakfast here after collecting our Christmas Tree from Maynards, Great Broughton. Excellent friendly service and ambience. We didn't realise that this was a fully vegan/plant based eaterie. I had the breakfast bagel filled with (non meat) maple bacon, black pudding, mushrooms and hash brown, absolutely delicious. Husband really enjoyed the very generous portion of smashed avocado and vegan feta cheese on toast. Can very much recommend.

Excellent food, service, atmosphere and portion sizes-couldn’t recommend enough:)

Visited due to the plant based menu. Lots of options and good variety. We chose from the specials menu and really enjoyed the food. Staff were very friendly and service was good. Will definitely visit again.

Amazing food and lovely staff - I had the Seitan tenders, really good!!!

Fabulous! I'm very jealous of anyone who lives near the Green Apple. We had an amazing meal here: cooked breakfasts, quesadillas and a burrito. All vegan, all absolutely delicious. The cooked breakfast in particular was incredible: best tofu scramble I've ever had, amazing homemade sausage patties, delicious mushrooms, everything was amazing. And the people who work here are wonderful: friendly, welcoming, helpful, everything you could want and more. I'd rate it six stars if I could.

What a gem this place is. Parking and easy access. Suggest you book as it was very busy - though it was Friday lunchtime. My mother had the soup and was very pleased with it while I chose off the specials board and had the burrito option. Not too spicy and a decent offering even if they called it a small plate! Definitely go again. Meals plus 2 pots of tea for £20 - fair enough for a lunch out. No loud music just pleasant chatter - even met someone we knew! Staff were excellent too.

Lovely cafe with friendly staff and scones to die for 😋🥰, Will return to try other food that looked and smelt delicious.

Definitely worth visiting. All dishes were perfectly seasoned and really tasty, and the fries were the best fries I had in ages!

Absolutely brilliant meals for vegans Fantastic choices. Imaginative menu.

Amazing vegetarian food and great gluten free options too. Lots of free parking and the staff were lovely.

Friendly staff with quality food but there was no one else in

This is a wonderful cafe/restaurant. The menu is extensive and delicious. The prices are very good value. The staff are helpful and friendly. We loved our experience and totally recommend this great venue.

Amazing place - customer service is second to none and the food is always freshly made and super tasty. Highly recommend! A great place that’s not just for vegans

Fantastic Vegan food, great setting and superb staff, what is there not to like !

Great service, delicious food, lots of options and cute setting ✨

Had a great lunch at the Green Apple today. Service was brilliant, really friendly and helpful. Menu has some great choices on there - so much I was tempted by. The Bangkok burger was fantastic!

First time at green apple and must say it was absolutely quality food and the up most amazing friendly staff, even our dog Stan was welcome . Suck a lovely place will be a regular from now on Thanks again Daz Wendy and Stan .

Delicious, modern, fresh vegan food. Superb quality, friendly staff, dogs welcome 👌🐶

This is the best vegan food I've had in the North East. I came upon this place by chance because I was looking for somewhere after finishing a hike up Roseberry Topping and what a find. Staff are lovely and the food is A+ level of quality. So happy to know I can visit this place in future when I'm back in the area.

We googled best place for lunch around Stokesley and this was the best rated so we called today, Saturday. We received a warm welcome to this clean and tidy establishment and opted to sit outside. It soon became apparent that this would appear to be a vegetarian restaurant, although they did have fish and chips on the specials board. The cold bottle of Peroni went down just grand and the coffee was just right which we ordered strong. The garlic mushrooms and loaded fries were fantastic and filling. The service that we received from all of the staff was amazing. I will be honest and say that had I known this establishment was vegetarian I probably would have passed it by... But so glad that we didn't. To all you fellow carnivores, please do give this spot a try, I am sure that you will be pleasantly surprised. Highly recommended.

Came across this beautiful cafe when staying locally. So glad we did, we aren’t vegan however the food is superb and definitely would be swayed to stay vegan from now on. A great choice of food, flavoursome and the staff were really friendly. If we stay local again we will definitely be back!

The first time I have been to this venue. Absolutely loved it. Spotlessly clean, fantastic me u and lovely staff.

The food was incredible, mostly plant-based and well-portioned. Andrew welcomed us and and was super-attentive and warm. Best breakfast I’ve had in Stokesley.

All the staff here are lovely. Its very clean and the menu is scrumptious.

Some of the best grub I’ve had in years. And that Sticky Toffee Pudding…

Great food and lovely staff. An expansive and enticing menu. I wanted a venue where my vegan friend had a great choice and this place knocked my expectations out of the park. Varied menu supplemented with daily specials. Was full after my delicious main but still had dessert which for this calorie conscious person is a testament to how good the food is.

Delicious food and friendly service, will be back

Gorgeous beautifully presented quality plant based food . Lovely surroundings . Happy friendly customer focused staff/ owners . An absolute delight to eat here . Every time just gets better . You haven’t been or heard of it ! Get yourself there and experience all the delights served with a smile . Dogs welcome outside seating . Great music and ambiance 6 stars all round . Nowhere else compares . Thank you Andrew for looking after us today . Preordered the cauliflower buffalo battered wings 👍🏻 Scrumptious as ever . Be back asap .

OMG! What an amazing Bistro Cafe! Probably the best in the Country let alone Nth Yorkshire! A dazzling array of Vegan delights crafted with love inspiration. We've been over a dozen times now it's like a joyful addiction! Mandi and the team have really nailed the whole dining experience. Great tasty menu with a specials board. Honestly treat yourself to a gastronomic feast and tell me I'm wrong! Big up The Green 🍏 Peace out😎✌️

Gem of a place. Amazing 😋 can't recommend enough

Love everything about this place, the amazing people who own it, the staff, the atmosphere and the unreal food and drinks.My new favourite cafe/restaurant 😍 💚

Pea soup was delicious. Mushrooms on toast divine. Avo on toast fabulous. Service really good and very friendly.

Very friendly staff. Lovely place. Tasty food. Definitely wortha treat now and again 😋

What an absolute find this was! We were off for a little walk nearby and wanted to get some take out lunch, the staff were so so lovely and couldn’t do enough for us. The food was 10/10, especially the loaded fries which we all ended up fighting over, they were that good! Will hopefully be back again next weekend to sample some of the other vegan delights on the menu!

Fabulous place. Great menu, super friendly and well located.

We had just had a short hike up Roseberry Topping and were looking for somewhere to get a cuppa! We found this place not too far away (by car)! I was so impressed by the range of vegan food and drinks on offer. There is also a range of gluten free options. The staff were so lovely and welcoming and we ended up ordering some sweet treats. What a lovely little place. We will definitely be visiting again. Dog friendly and parking available.

Truly hospitable and warm staff... I'm not vegetarian per se but their food is absolutely delicious and top notch.... AND doggy friendly to boot... Thoroughly recommend from me...☺️

Amazing food, quick friendly service, dogs welcome - what's not to like. My chilli dog was awesome!

Brilliant, the food was delicious (we had the works breakfast), staff were friendly, lovely place. Highly Recommended!

We organised a lunch for our work event at North Yorkshire Physiotherapy from our friendly neighbours at The Green Apple and it certainly did not disappoint! All of our meals were full of flavour and we all wanted to try each other's! The flexibility to have the food as take out was excellent and we will all be back regularly to work our way through the menu! Thank you very much Amanda and Andrew!

Delicious food and very friendly staff.

Called in today for the first time in two years (thanks, covid). Still as lovely as I remember. Very welcoming staff, great menu, and when I'd made my choice, great food. Went for the chili dog simply because i can't remember the last time I had a hot dog. It was lovely, and very filling. Still found room for dessert though, a lovely raspberry brownie. Friends' burgers & wraps looked really good too, I really fancy one of the burgers next time. And hopefully next time will be a lot sooner than 2 years!

One of the nicest places to eat that I have been to.Staff are very friendly and informative and the food is amazing! Recommended to us by family and I know why now! Looking forward to a return visit.

Great vegan cafe with lots of choice.

So happy there is a vegan-friendly place to eat. Even more happy that the menu doesn't consist only of fake meats and fried food!!! Service is great - friendly, welcoming and helpful. Food was delicious and portion size was generous. Keep up the good work! :)

Just had the Mexican Quesadillas takeaway for lunch. Absolutely lovely!

A Breath of fresh Air this place is Amazing. The staff are so happy & friendly , a real switch off from my busy life on the Ambulance. 🚑🚑 I had the mushroom stroganoff today and a milkshake # Heaven My wife had the middle eastern wrap ♥️ Coffee is also amazing Highly recommend this amazing VEGAN friendly cafe/ restaraunt Vince & Jen

Booked using the fb page. Very friendly staff. Food very good too, very nice. Well worth the visit. Do not hesitate, just book, visit and enjoy.

Absolutely amazing place with tons of choice, really friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. We go regularly and try something new each time!

Really enjoyed our visit today with our son and daughter-in-law. Excellent menu. Tasty food. Very friendly staff. Just one small thing. It would be nice to have a hook in the loos to hang coat/bag. Will certainly be back. Thank you x

This place is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. The cheesecake is out of this world

Excellent experience, staff very knowledgeable, caring and helpful. The food,flavour and quality perfection

Excellent meal with a wide range of options. We will be back!

This was our first visit here as we are visiting the area and it was absolutely amazing. The staff were so welcoming and helpful and the food was the best vegan meal we have ever had! We will definitely be back.

A lovely little place with an excellent selection of vegan dishes! Will be visiting again soon.

We found this place on Google after a very tiring walk over the hills. It was like discovering a little slice of heaven! The host was really welcoming and lovely to chat with, the place itself was beautiful and relaxing but most of all the menu and food was incredible. It's entirely plant based, which is wonderful in itself, but it's also really extensive with a range that caters to all tastes and dietary requirements including a soya free menu and a gluten free menu. The food ranges from delicious vegan junk food (burgers, loaded fries) to healthier and more wholesome options. There's smaller bites such as sandwiches or bigger main courses, plus a range of delicious drinks including alcoholic options and milk shakes! Finally, I urge you to have the sticky toffee pudding. It was hands down the best sticky toffee pudding I've ever had, non-vegan versions included.

Amazing food, super friendly staff and cosy atmosphere! An absolute gem.

Food was incredibly good, "what the focaccia burger" was top, hot dog is amazing and the veggie tart had the best vegan Feta ever. Vanilla cheesecake is probably the best I ever tried. Nice people, super fast service and dog friendly, would surely come back if I find myself around here again.

Wonderful food and great service. Highly recommend!

Great home made vegan street food. Large portions and a tempting menu even for non vegans.

What a fabulous restaurant! Relaxed atmosphere, excellent customer service and absolutely amazing food. We would highly recommend a visit! We had the tapas: Mexican quesadilla, mushroom stroganoff, loaded fries and buffalo cauliflower wings, we also had a vanilla cheesecake and the salted caramel and chocolate cheesecake, absolutely delicious!

We ate here a few days ago. On entry all social distances were adhered to and staff were so so helpful and friendly. The food was simply the best vegetarian food we have ever had. An amazing menu and the food was so fresh and beautifully presented. You do not have to be a vegetarian to enjoy the food here.

Had a delicious lunch there today and can't wait to go back. Quite possibly the best chips I've had, just crying out for some gravy on a cold day!

Great food and worth the wait, when you've got time on your hands to talk to the people you visit with, the food just takes the experience to the next level!!

Excellent service and food - what more could you want?

Excellent plant based food with great choice. Nice friendly staff.

Love having a vegetarian café near us, but sadly although we enjoyed our lunch we were both left hungry. Wasn't cheap either. Hope portion size improves.

Brilliant food, great customer service. All vegan! And they have lovely cheesecakes, as well as great mains! The only downfall is short opening hours. It is really only suitable for lunch, but not many people have a luxury of going out for lunch :(

Gorgeous food, top service and lovely atmosphere. A must visit in the north east!

Fantastic selection of vegan food! Staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was great. Will be returning!

My friend and I had lunch here for the first time today and everything was lovely We were served by a charming young lady the food was really tasty I also added great chips The place is spotless nice and airy and plenty room from other diners to feel safe . We shall return soon
