The Old Barn Coffee Shop in Harrogate

Good stop off for cycling. We sat outside & easy to keep an eye on the bikes.

I had the bacon Brie and cranberry to toastie special and it was delicious, the staff were friendly and the food arrived quickly

Stopped in the old barn coffee shop in Balk today with my cycling friend and we were made to feel very welcome. Our bikes were left in a safe place within sight. I was encouraged to try the Big breakfast roll which was really good and filling and then we were shown the desserts which my friend had two of. The service was quick and very friendly, thank you to Claudia, Katie and Molly. We will return.

Fantastic cafe to visit with good food, service, and fair prices. Visited the cafe today mid distance on a bike ride, enjoyed a tasty hot chocolate, cheese scone and some rocky road sweetness. The staff are friendly, cafe is clean and cosy, and is set in a nice part of the countryside. Thank you for a great service and feed!

Lovely setting and a great atmosphere in the cafe. We were served today by a lovely young lady called Katie who took our order with a smile and delivered it with a smile. The menu was good with both savoury choices and lovely cakes and scones. Very reasonably priced too. Well worth a visit. We will definitely make a return visit.

We found this little gem of a coffee shop extremely lovely staff and food, so glad that we found it .

Cozy old school café, beatiful landscapes around for hikes and walks. The staff is rude and not looking forward to make anyone happy. The schedules lazy. Closing at 17.00? What about the tea time? The cakes very tasty and really really good coffee.

Lovely little cafe in a peaceful setting

Amazing cakes, good hot pots of tea and friendly efficient staff! The scones are the best ever! Lovely cafe and really nice decor/setting. Pretty outdoor seating area. They also serve really good local ice cream!

Recommended by a friend while visiting Thirsk, lovely hidden gem, lovely peaceful setting great homemade produce and the staff are very friendly xx

After a lovely walk in beautiful woodland above Bagby, a group of friends and I came to this wonderful establishment for a well-deserved refreshment. A warm welcome from staff and a beautiful setup within a static caravan park. Everything was homemade and at reasonable prices. I had a sausage sandwich and a delicious salted caramel ice cream. I highly recommend this. Visiting is a MUST.

Called in while having a drive in North Yorkshire food was very good and reasonably priced and the staff were very friendly

Great Staff. Always made so welcome, A1 Here.

Called in for coffee while having a weekend away. Cappuccinos were lovely and frothy. Very quiet as it was February. The cakes looked amazing. Pleasant friendly staff 🙂

The Old Barn Coffee shop Is a beautiful little cafe in Bagby. Lovely views and tasty food. Especially my tuna Mayo Toastie and a black cherry Brymor ice cream. I always like coming here every month and it’s a very independent cafe. Never disappoints. From Ryan P.S Coming back next for your homemade soup and Brie, Bacon & Cranberry panini Claire. X

We had a lovely Full English breakfast one morning during our stay at York House Holiday Park. The only negative is that for us it opens a little late to allow for a full day exploring the area. Apart from that it was a good experience, with nice food well presented.

Breakfast here was lovely. A good way to start the day with a Full English, toast and coffee. The cakes were good too

Great full English breakfast, toast and coffee. The cake looked good too

Great coffee shop lovely helpful staff nice reasonably priced food

A Great Coffee Shop and Tea Room. Clean, Spacious and Bright. Seat Yourself indoors or out. Run by a very efficient and young team. Do You like Cake ?? You've come to the right place. A great selection. Nothing to fault. Recommended.

Quality Coffee Shop in a pleasant setting. Friendly efficient service from a young team. Do You like Cake ?? Then You are in the right place. Great selection.

Quaint little place, nice and relaxed, coffee and cake... What's not to like!

Great spot. Sorry about previous comment. Confused with another place we visited

Great venue, very friendly welcoming staff, nice seating area, spacious and airy, we sat inside, I visited with a friend she had a scone and I had the most delicious maltesa cake 🤌 we will most certainly return, would highly recommend.

Lovely food that was fresh and well presented

Lovely place to pop and have a coffee. Staff absolutely lovely, yummy cakes too

Great food, friendly staff and covid safe set on a lovely well maintained holiday park

Great welcome, lovely outdoor seating. Cakes very delicious and the service was great. A great find on a very warm summer afternoon

Lovely place for a snack and cuppa. Inside and outside seating. Nice food. Parking.

Good find whilst out in Rydale and around. We had good coffee and toasties as well Brymbo iced cream. Plenty of parking.

Friendly staff, very picturesque location and building / facilities.

Sausage not that good not very tasty

Really dissapointed with our breakfast here. My partner and I both ordered the "Old barn breakfast" @£8.95 each (extra items for 50p Per item) . A cup of tea and a glass of fresh orange juice. When i asked the staff member what came on the breakfast she was unsure and realed off a load of typical full English ingredients. Also she had no idea what additional items could be added. All of which i would have expected to be printed on the menu. The breakfast arrived and no mushrooms as previously suggested. Bit not the end of the world, The sausages were over cooked, the egg was hard not runny, and the hash brown wasnt cooked enough. All in all extremely dissapointed in our experience and wont be rushing back as we both agreed you can get a better breakfast from Weatherspoons.

Lovely cafe after a good climb. Cyclists and walkers are welcome and loyalty cards available for your free cuppa after 9 purchases.

Good service and nice food , good outside space

I went before cafe close, so just ordered coffee and scone. Good place for chilling.

Very nice setting, wife says coffee was good. Food was only OK as it was expensive for an open sandwich. Service was umm, strange. Table Service, but the lady serving was somewhat distracted, didn't know what the specials were and failed to ask relevant questions that you would expect when taking an order. It wasn't busy so I don't know.

Nice little place to visit, dog friendly and human friendly as well. Just called in for a coffee and were pleasantly surprised by how lovely it was. Will definitely call back again.

A very friendly cafe stop on our bike tour. Great coffee and plenty of seating outside and inside. Good range of snacks

Excellent cafe for cyclists. Friendly team. Massive tuna mayo butty. Had to take half home!

Just had a brie bacon and cranberry panini at The Old Barn coffee shop. The panini was well presented very tasty and served with coleslaw and salad. Friendly staff and so pleased to see Covid 19 safety measures are still being observed to protect both staff and customers. Will definitely return when next in the area and recommend others to visit.

Called for a coffee and food whilst looking at the site and any vans/ lodges for sale which did not happen I was very impressed by the service at the coffee shop and indeed the way the tables were cleaned and sanitised. The staff were helpful and efficient and the food was good also, well worth a visit.

Got awesome bacon sausage egg sandwich take away lovely friendly staff

After 2 hours of no food, and fairly clueless staff organisation it really killed off my day out with friends. We repeatedly asked for or cans of coke and they couldn’t even provide us with those. Total disappointment asked to see owner and told he/she was too busy. Staff came to our table 3 times to take order 🤣 . Can’t really comment on food because when it came didn’t really enjoy it.

Went here today and waited 2 hours for a bacon butty, cake and a can of coke. Absolutely awful service

Lovely setting, wonderful staff and the cheese on toast was an absolute pleasure the dogs were welcome which we were glad about as we were taking them on a car ride from Leeds. A very welcoming stop.

Fab food friendly and quick service we happened upon it on a trip away and my daughter lived the American pancakes and syrup.

Having just finished a long bike ride, we stopped off at the Cafe. We ordered 2 coffees and 2 brie and cranberry paninis with salad. The coffee arrived first and was absolutely perfect, far better then Costa and Starbucks and cheaper as well. 5 mins later our hot paninis arrived with a sumptuous salad. Considering how busy the cafe was I was very impressed by the speed of service and the waiter and waitresses were just fabulous. An all round very positive experience and will definitely return. I noted also that the cafe is dog friendly and sells doggy ice cream as well. A definite plus for my dogs

We had a lovely afternoon tea today, plenty of food in fact we had to take the cake home. Highly recommend

We visited The Old Barn for the first time today and was impressed by the the general appearance of o ur surroundings however we cannot say the same for the food nor the welcome we received. We were greeted by a somewhat indifferent mature waitress who left us with the impression we were a nuisance rather than a valued customer. The food when it arrived was underwhelming and over priced, this included an overcooked small portion of quiche with a sprinkling of salad and a minute portion of coleslaw all for around £8.95. My partners bacon and brie (special) panini can only be described as average and the portion of salad and coleslaw was similarly a paltry additions for the cost of the meal. The service was slow and our drinks were finished well before the food arrived We were wondering about following up with cake to fill the void left by the main course however the mature waitress was too busy chatting to friends to take our order so we paid and left. We eat out frequently at similar places and feel this experience was not one of the bests. Needless to say we won’t be returning.

Had a lovely breakfast for 3 adults. Well cooked, very good friendly service. Definitely would recommend.

Really welcoming. Excellent fresh coffee, and a great granary bacon sandwich, with thick, lean, local bacon. Great little find!

Never fails to please Good food, relaxing environment, friendly efficient staff.

Visited today with my little boy for ice cream and coffee and a cream scone, and I wasn't disappointed. The most delicious lemon and blueberry scone freshly baked with clotted cream absolutely divine. Great service , what a gem of a place !!!

Great food, great friendly service

Called at the Old Barn today, nice place and friendly staff. But thought £10.45 for a panini and small salad was very expensive. John thanks for sorting so quickly much appreciated.

Under cooked brekky. We were the only ones there so no excuse really. Nice peaceful location though

Absolutely Fabulous place to visit, lovely Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, Light Bites, Traybakes, Scones, Cake something for everyone, Not open on a Thursday, friendly & Very helpful staff, would definitely go again, Dog Friendly.

We visited for lunch whilst exploring North Yorkshire. Weather was gorgeous so we ate outside. Strict Covid regulations were in operation. My wife and I both chose sandwiches, ham and cheese, they were both excellent quality and very tasty we accompanied them with a lovely mixed salad with coleslaw . We both also had a cake from a good selection, my wife had lemon drizzle cake I had coffee cake we both agreed they were very tasty. Nice surroundings friendly staff lovely food.

Really nice place, great service and great coffee.

Brill service.brill staff.lovly place.

Very good all round. Isabel and Clare look after us very well x

Have just enjoyed a superb Sunday lunch as a take-away. Delicious plentiful and really that home cooked taste. What a treat, no preparation,no washing-up. Definitely worth a visit!

This cafe is definitely worth a visit: you receive a friendly welcome; the menu is small but perfectly formed and it is spotlessly clean. Their C19 adjustments and procedures are very reassuring. If I was being super critical, the food did take a while to arrive but we could tell it had been freshly prepared so we didn't mind. The quality of the breakfast ingredients were above average and the food was well presented with a generous helping of toast. Again, if I was to be picky, I would have liked mushrooms with my breakfast - a bit unusual not to have any on a full English.But, all in all, a cute place that is well worth a look.

Visited several times in past two months. Lovely , helpful staff. Nice inside and out . Small menu but with daily specials, caters for most choices. Excellent , freshly cooked food, at reasonable prices. Dog friendly and well organised covid control. Steve MacLeod

Just fancied a break from the routine one Sunday afternoon so decided to try this place. Not too hard to find at the entrance of a caravan park, this little gem of a place ticks all the boxes. They had just finished the Sunday lunch diners but greeted us with a smile and a just cleaned table with lots of choice on the menu. Cakes and coffee were the choice and both pieces that arrived were delicious. Would definitely visit again now we have found this great cafe.

This little gem is perfection. Friendly helpful staff, thoughtfully prepared food of excellent quality and dog delicious frozen yogurt. Ice cream heaven . Love this place

We had enjoyed coffee and snacks on previous occasions. Today we booked a Sunday lunch. We were served a delicious traditional beef roast . The staff are all lovely and make sure you enjoy your visit. They are happy for you to take your dogs with you. Every care is taken to keep the cafe clean and sanitised in the current COVID situation. There is no licence for alcohol, but customers are welcome to take their own.

Good cafe in peaceful surroundings. Cornish pasty was tasty and nice cup of tea.

Extremely helpful and friendly staff, as for hygiene it was exemplary, tables, chairs everything was cleaned after every customer to a high standard. 1st time I've eaten out during covi19 without feeling nervous. 100% all round,

Claire and all the staff at The Barn always make us feel extremely welcome and valued on our (very) frequent visits from our holiday home on the site. We have enjoyed countless meals when our family visit us and they always ask to eat in the cafe whenever they're with us or on their own. It's a big part of our holiday experience and they have coped incredibly well throughout the covid difficulties. Claire's cakes and scones are to die for and are presumably responsible for the extra inches around our waistlines !!

Over shot the Old Barn but glad we turned back as the food and coffee was very nice and at a reasonable price. Dogs are welcome too.

Excellent customer service food and coffee great too.

Lovely place for a light snack, used twice whilst on holiday. Breakfast rolls super the next day just for coffee & scones delicious!!

Great welcoming staff working well to keep visitors covid secure with great hot food and cakes to choose from

Great spot with very friendly staff and lovely food. Highly recommended

Excellent service friendly staff

Friendly staff, lovely quiet location food great too.

Nice place friendly staff good food

Can’t recommend the Old Barn Coffee Shop enough. We visit regularly with our children and the staff always go out of their way to make us feel welcome. The food is home cooked and delicious. Well worth a visit 👍

I've visited here today with my friend and as we both live far apart and drove an hour each to get there we entered and it appeared to be a friendly place. We both brought our kids 1 and 3. My son who is 3 was curious but well behaved and sat on the couch near our table in which the woman (not sure if she was the owner or not sneared at us) I then went to the counter to enquire about what cakes were on offer after lunch and my son looked around the counter. She replied can you control your child we are in the middle of a pandemic and it isn't over! I was shocked and we immediately left. Baring in mind there was only 3 other people in the cafe at the time and he was doing no harm at all. We are both nurses and worked through the whole pandemic and it was our first time seeing eachother since lockdown. I was absolutely disgused by this woman and will never return. The food was also extremely mediocre but the woman completely ruined our day!!

Avoid if you have children, not child-friendly at all. We left and went elsewhere because we felt so uncomfortable!

Good food, great staff and peaceful rural setting

Lovely little place perfect for a light lunch.

They vary so much do coffees. A good selection here. Whilst I did not have one even though sorely tempted, the cakes and scones looked amazing.

A lovely place for breakfast at lunch nice selection of food and cakes . Reasonable priced .Good food clean and warm .

Nice cafe with gluten free & vegan choices.

Stunning setting, lovingly produced food - excellent coffee - all presented so nicely.Staff on the ball too. I had Brie and cranberry panini with a good sized salad garnish, coleslaw and crisps and my partner had a ham cheese and red onion toastie again nicely presented. We also enjoyed a couple of the cakes which were freshly made. Very busy but no staff were flustered, such a calm, pleasant atmosphere. Well done - see you soon!

Had breakfast here. Wet day, but allowed muddy walkers with wet dog in the recreational part of the building. Good breakfast and coffee, very clean. Quick friendly service. Not too far off the Cleveland Way if staying overnight nearby.

Just popped by for breakfast and was very impressed! My boyfriend had a full English and I had a breakfast roll. Really good quality and very tasty! The hot chocolate was also very yummy. A little gem, highly recommend.

Having arrived late on the Friday, to a little cottage just outside Thirsk, we set out looking for breakfast, and stumbled on The Old Barn Coffee Shop. What a find. The welcome was warm, thanks Katelin (Hope the spelling is near), and the breakfast superb. The quality was excellent and it was lovely and hot. Could not fault anything. Will be a regular visitor when this way, it is one of our favourite areas to holiday. Thanks for looking after us so well.

18 hungry cyclist's and 2 support vehicle drivers called for lunch. As we were a large group we booked a couple of days prior to our visit.The food came out within 5 minutes of us sitting down, tea and coffee came next followed by cake.The quantity and quality was way beyond our expectation.The service was also 1st class, nothing was to much trouble.

Nice local cafe, very friendly staff, clean environment, limited choices but what there is is always freshly made and value for money

Driving down Sutton Bank we thought how nice it'd be to have a nice cuppa & some great cake. Not always easy to find. TA to the rescue & we found ourselves minutes away from The Old Barn Coffee Shop. This turned out to be seriously good. Lots of parking, a nice side access with external seating, an easy welcome inside the coffee shop plus a huge range of gorgeous cakes. Although a quiet holiday park this didn't dominate the ambience. Tidy, scrupulously clean and very businesslike this is a place we would highly recommend & return to again & again. Quite a find.

Lovely place to stop off for a coffee & lunch, good selection of yummy home cooked food & delicious cakes & ice cream. Very friendly & obliging staff & extremely clean & well maintained with loads of parking space.

The Old Barn Coffee Shop is a hidden gem in the Hamlet of Balk, near Thirsk. Everything is homemade from locally sourced produce. The coffee is brewed to perfection and the many choices of cake are scrumptious! What more could you want than friendly, attentative staff and tasty fayre all of which are set in stunning Yorkshire surroundings.

Found this little gem on the Internet one rainy day. Visited 3 times since. Great food very friendly staff nice prices.

We stopped of here today, after visiting the White Horse of Kilburn. Homemade quiche of the day was beautiful and very tasty. Husband had bacon, Brie and cranberry panini both came with a little side salad, coleslaw and crisps. The staff were friendly and so accommodating. We had our springer spaniel with us and they brought a bowl of water out for him. The place itself is immaculate, toilets very clean. I bought 2 lemon and blueberry scones to bring home they were delicious. Well worth a visit

Lovely outside space with bike racks, also lots of space inside if bad weather Great service, excellent food, ideal stop when cycling in the Howardian Hills Couldn’t fault anything really We shall be back without a doubt
