The Old POst Office in East Riding of Yorkshire

Found this lovely little cafe today - great food reasonably priced and lovely friendly staff. We will definitely be back!

Really lovely tearooms with delicious cakes and scones. Lots of space at the rear in a delightful conservatory and patio area. Will definitely return.

Hi I called into The Old Post Office and Tearooms on Friday 11th October 2024 while on a visit to Mappleton Beach and I have to say what a wonderful little shop and the two ladies that served me were such nice and friendly people. The food was very nice as was my cuppa Yorkshire Tea. They sell local products like Honey, Marmalade, Fresh Eggs and ither Items. I bought some raffle Tickets for a chance to win a Beautifully Hand made Tea Pot Cosy and they sell some in the shop aswell. I just want to say to the Ladies that worked in the shop your kindness and lovely conversation is a credit to two wonderful Human Beings... I will be back to pay a visit to your Cafe and Mappleton Beach which I absolutely Loved...

Very friendly cosy cafe, lovely owners/staff. Great food and service at fair price. Highly recommended .

Lovely friendly staff and well cooked food

Love this place ,visit everytime we visit mappleton for the home made cakes ,big pots of tea and lovely meals always take our great Dane Doris ,all dogs welcome,lovely conservatory or sit outside in the garden the ladies who run and make all the cakes are lovely 👍👍👍👍

What a lovley little cafe and shop doggy friendly and a beautiful beach for a good doggy walk nice food lovley owner's from my home city of Sheffield all the best in your new adventure

Excellent food excellent service even our dog had sausages

After popping to the beach we went for a coffee at this place and upon entering you were greeted warmly by the owners/staff. We found a seat and ordered. It was busy so we had a slight wait for our drinks which was to be expected when they did come the latte was super hot and the teapot had a lovely cosy on it. We chatted with the staff and found out their story behind getting the tea rooms and it was very warming. After seeing a customer order a cherry scone we got one as well and I'm glad we did, so lovely and moist. We went back two days later and had some sandwiches and a blackberry and apple crumble with custard, homemade, definitely hit the spot. They made us feel very welcome like a home from home. Our dogs were fussed just as much as we were. I'm going to address the toilet issue here because I feel these reviews slating them are unfair, and uncalled for and why they didn't address it at the cafe instead of writing it on here is beyond me. Yes it's a compost toilet, yes it's a bit smelly BUT it was clean and it was an option. They inherited it when they took it over, decided to keep it open for the public to use and have had the council out to inspect it with NO issues to be found. They are planning to replace it with a normal toilet but all that takes money and as you know taking on a business takes time to be in profit so please give them a break, be thankful you actually had an option to use one. I think this is a cracking little place and I'm looking forward to going back and seeing them all. Keep up the good work ladies you can't please them all xx

Very welcoming Great staff nothing to much trouble Dog friendly Serve Gluten bread and cakes

Great little stop off for us on a days hike, quite a comprehensive menu and very dog friendly.

What a lovely quaint little cafe, well worth visiting 😀

The toilets are disgusting, they are dirty and smelly, it's OK having a compost toilet, but this one needs improving. The latte and cappuccino were like warm milk, with no taste of coffee, the scones were flat and doughy, and the conservatory needs a good clean, there's fly poo everywhere!!

Lovely little cafe family run very friendly had lunch sandwiches and fresh coffe cake will go again followed by a lovely walk on the beach we will be back

After having read good reviews on Trip Advisor, we went for lunch here as a family of 10. The ladies running the tearoom were lovely but totally disorganised. We placed our order and eventually two meals came out followed by a gap and then another two came out and this continued until we had all been served. Some of the meals were okay but others weren't. My son had the hot beef roll which wasn't up to the expected standard at all! However, the worst thing of all was the absolutely disgusting toilet. It was the worst toilet that we have ever come across and, when you consider that this is part of an eating establishment, it is very worrying and makes you wonder about the cleanliness of the kitchen!

Popped in for tea after a trip to the beach - with our dogs - and really enjoyed the fresh scones with family and clotted cream! Beautiful seating in the secluded garden and the food is inexpensive for what you're served. Highly recommended.

Lovely little cafe with friendly owners who are obviously trying very hard, the downside is the cafe doesn't have a car park there is absolutely no parking at all. .the owners need to open the field at the side for car parking as they are loosing custom...rumours are there will be a pay and display car park in the sight of the old garage but who wants to pay to park for coffee and cake!

Food not worth the money paid for, poor service, customer toilets (a hole in a piece of MDF) in a disgusting state. The business owners need to visit other cafes to see how to improve their service and food

What a shame! First visit and most likely the last. We ordered lattes, 10 minutes later a couple came in (obviiusly regukar customers) and ordered the same, they were served their coffee and we waited another 5 minutes. When it came it was nice and hot but it was like a tasteless bedtime drink and certainly was not lattes as ordered, no froth in sight! Disappointed.

Great little tea room. Staff lovely. Food delicious. Beach 2 mins away

Remember this place being a post office mappleton is forever changing with its coastal location new touring site nearby but the cafe is lovely seating inside and outside quite a small space but filled with great people lots of treasures to take home and great food always a pleasure to visit and greated with a smile

Absolutely lovely staff and fantastic food it's a must proper food and finish it off with a lovely walk on the beach ⛱️

Popped in for coffees. Lovely staff and atmosphere. Loos need improving though.

Such a cute and adorable little cafe. Lovely, lovely staff and the food was just what we needed! The scone I had was made the day before and it was delicious. You can really tell it was homemade. Dog friendly and they really are very good with dogs! 1000% recomend

Ordered a sausage sandwich and a bacon sandwich, both in wholemeal bread buns. Half an hour later they brought us a bacon in white bread and a ham sandwich??? Eventually got what we ordered but very poor and ended up there nearly an hour.

What a cracking little cafe. Our walking group of 12 people visited the Old post office cafe after walking down from Hornsea. The owners and staff made us so welcome. In no time at all we were fed with delicious homemade cake and refreshments. A nice cosy atmosphere,proper cake and such good value,dog friendly too. I look forward to visiting again soon.

Best chocolate milkshake I've had in year's Highly recommended 😊

Loverly little tea room food is excellent very friendly staff great location can't wait to visit again ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lovely place with lovely staff! Super cute seaside cafe with tasty baking and sandwiches too. The compost loo is the only slight negative but it is better for the environment!🌱🌊

Stopped here on my bike today. Service was brilliant, cup of tea and a bacon, sausage sandwich perfect. Will definitely visit again.

Great breakfast bap and coffee after a dog walk on the beach

This is a fantastic tea rooms.! We were greeted with a very warm welcome today. We had a couple of sandwiches and a pot of tea. The food was delicious and hit the spot. Very reasonably priced. But I have to say as outstanding as the food and pot of tea was the service and friendly staff/owners are amazing! One of the owners told me they’d only been going a year and they’ve really nailed it. There’s plenty to choose from on the menu and as I mentioned very reasonable prices. Keep up the great work and thank you.

Lovely attentive, dog friendly even mine wasn't. Nice coffee.

What can I say....fantastic little dog friendly cafe. They have a small counter with sweets etc for sale and homemade jam 😋

What a gem of a place . Hazel the owner was so welcoming and friendly as were the others working . I love the quaint tearoom especially the hand knitted tea cozies you can buy. The compost loo was challenging but I applaud the ethos . Food tasty abd plenty of tea in the pot . Plenty of dog walkers in with their pets Would definitely recommend a visit

Called here for lunch with our daughter and grandaughter. Such a friendly welcome and lovely homemade food . Jacket potato with chilli was delicious as was the freshly made pea and ham soup . Lovely family run tearooms

Very friendly staff. Nice scone. Knitted tea cosies for sale. Excellent for dog owners.

Wonderful homemade soups and cakes, also great ice-cream sundaes. Friendly, helpful staff, always a pleasure to eat here. Now under new ownership. Just as friendly, just as good!!

came with my freind and my dog and had a lovely time. the food was gorugse as was the hot choclate. will deffently be back. nice to see dog treats for sale had to get my girl one. one way out saw dog ice cream. will deffently pop back in summer my girl loves icecream.

Lovely little tea room. Friendly owners and staff. Delicious cakes. All homemade Even had a bed for the dogs. Highly recommend a visit here.

Lovely cafe, owners super friendly, we had homemade cherry scones with cream and jam which were delicious, will visit again.

After a bracing sunny November walk on Mappleton Beach, this lovely little cafe was a great find. Fab food and hot drinks, and very doggy friendly too. Highly recommended if you’re in the area!

A lovely brunch after a brisk dog walk on the beach in the November sunshine. Great bacon and sausage sandwich and fab cakes too. The pups also recommend the doggy biscuits!! We will be back!

What a great find - a truly dog friendly hidden gem which is operated by a very friendly family just a couple of minutes walk from a lovely beach. I made good use of the cafe during the two days they were open whilst I was staying in Mappleton before they closed for a couple of days to enjoy a very well deserved few days off since taking over the cafe earlier this year. It was just as well really as I may have left Yorkshire the size of a small block of flats had I visited every day for 7 days!! I enjoyed everything I ate and drank - sausage sandwiches, lattes, cherry scone with cream and jam, and their lemon sponge cake - wow, light and fluffy, and probably the best lemon sponge I've ever eaten. Hettie enjoyed her treats too - thank you. Thank you also for removing flying rings from sale to help prevent injury to inquisitive seals when they get thrown in the sea - you're true animal lovers. I recommended The Old Post Office to several people I met whilst out and about on my travels on the Yorkshire coast - I hope they pay a visit. I will definitely go back again when next in the area. FAB-U-LOUS.

Dont be fooled by its look … its bigger than it looks from the front with a conservatory and patio area out the back. Great service received and breakfast was lovely. Good value menu and great that dogs are allowed

Love this place... brilliant home made food which is great value for money. The owners make you feel so so welcome , creating a lovely atmosphere. My.little dog loves it as much as myself! We would visit every day if I lived closer!

The bacon egg sandwich was glorious, you can tell the rggs are local and freerange. My friend is Vegan and the lady was so accommodating to him and even created off menu desert as an option. Staff overall was super friendly.

The beef sandwich is a true delight… take it outside and take in the wonderful view!

Lovely coastal tea room with a fantastic coffee roast (and most importantly, dog friendly). Had a few coffees during our holiday recently.

So glad we found it. Dog friendly and near the free parking with access the the beach. We will definitely come again. Just a 30 minute drive from Bridlington.

What a wonderful find.After a lovely walk from Hornsea we arrived to a lovely welcome from service with a smile. To actually meeting the new owners.The carrot cake and lemon cake were delicious along with our breakfast baps and sandwiches. We will be back in the winter for sure.Wishing you all the best for a busy summer. Alison, Steve,Jim and Netty and the two dogs Bob and Pippa.

This is a wonderful tea room with a very short walk down to the beach. Breakfast was great and you have a choice of the conservatory or outdoor seating. Prices are great as well along with a great local coffee. Service was also good. Would highly reccomend this hidden gem along the coastal path.

Nice little retreat, in a remote location. The breakfast was a welcome treat whilst camping and the menu was there was a bountiful choice of goodies. And the four legged friends are welcome.

We went to this lovely tea room with our two dogs. We were made extremely welcome by warm and friendly staff who were pleased to see us. The coffee is great and the scones and lemon drizzle cake are divine. I also purchased a jar of blossom honey which is lovely. I'd certainly make a return visit.

The Old Post Office is in a lovely spot near the beach. Staff are friendly,welcoming and to dogs too. They have vegan cakes and ice cream. The garden at the back is very cute.

Brilliant tea room , great service lovely sandwich. Cakes look really good.

It is so rare these days to get delicious home made food, let alone at a good price. This is really the only place to eat in the village and obviously popular with the locals. Visitors and dogs are all made very welcome. There is a great choice of home made cakes and we were offered 4 choices of home made soup, two of which were vegetarian. The only downside was the primitive toilet, which I could not bring myself to use.

My son bought me an afternoon tea gift for this cafe. Myself and my wife booked and visited on my birthday. The venue setting was very cosy and personalised. From the moment we were shown to our table we were treated like special guests. The service flowed seamlessly. The staff were very passionate to provide the best experience possible, and they did not disappoint. The food was first class, and they were very generous with the tea top ups. The whole experience made my birthday a very special day. We have been introduced to a real gem of a cafe, in a great location. Will be going back very soon, and regularly. Many thanks.

We checked the opening times on their website. It even stated it was actually on the day (Tuesday). 4 mile walk for coffee and for breakfast. .4 miles back now. NOT HAPPY. ATTROUSOUS CUSTOMER CONSIDERATION

Again brilliant and great cookies to takeaway

We gave this a try after we had heard so many great comments and it didn’t disappoint Lovely warm friendly welcome from the staff the food was so fresh and delicious and the Gluten Free brownie was so light a really treat We will definitely return looking forward to the Gluten free Christmas cake 👍

Dropped in this morning on spec. I was treated to a lovely breakfast by a very helpful staff. I really couldn't have asked for better!!!!

I had afternoon tea today at this Little Gem. It was amazing. My sister and I like a good afternoon tea and have sampled a few over the years. Some in quite famous hotels and I have to say this one beats them all. No contest ! The selection of sandwiches, savoury, cakes and desert were amazing. All fresh and homemade. There was so much we brought them home for teatime. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and attentive. It was a truly wonderful treat and I can honestly say worth every penny ❤ Thank you ladies for taking good care of us. We will definitely be back x

Having stayed for a weekend down at cowden holiday park with the 2 young children, ourselves and very importantly our labradoodle celebrating her 2nd birthday, this was the first place that made us feel truly welcome as a family :) would definitely recommend and come back again. PS - Poppy loved her doggy sausages!!

The tea shop is very untidy and we were served sandwiches on dirty plates and the cups were stained by constant use Never bothered eating our foid There is also a very aggressive large dog in the premises so be wary with your four legged companions

My wife and daughter visited during my daughters fieldwork trip along the coast. They stopped in for a bacon butty and a coffee and came out with cakes and dog treats! My daughter came home gushing about this perfect place she found in Mappleton, so we will definitely be returning on our next visit. Both said the service was extremely friendly and as though they’d been going for years, nothing was too much trouble. My daughter mentioned it was very busy for a small place, but that the lovely staff were juggling it all immaculately!

Top place for a great cup of tea or coffee and a cake. The staff were friendly and the cakes were home made. Particularly enjoyed my ginger and lime cake

Walked to the Old Post Office yesterday while on holiday up this way. Great lunch topped by some amazing cake! Very good value too. Highly recommend👍

Over priced. On recommendation we were told to visit and walked from hornsea whilst on holiday. Won't be doing it again. Needed a good sweep outside. Get rid of dog paraphernalia up for sale in conservatory, bit of an eyesore. Sandwiches from £4.00 to £4.50. No fancy bread just ordinary loaf with crust cut off, lucky if you get 2 bites a triangle. Egg mayo and beef almost same price which didn't seem to equate. We had cream tea and was overcharged by 1.50 at till.

We always come here when we are visiting East Yorkshire as it's one of the best café's around. You are always given a warm welcome and dogs are welcome too!! We came here today after a 3 mile windy walk along the beach. My husband...

This place is amazing. If you visit try to get a place in the rear tea garden. Very special little place in a World of chaos.

called 3 times during our recent holiday, finally had the crab on the menu (well worth it) all in all very friendly staff good choice on offer and good quality highly recommend will be returning next time

Exceptional service when I visited today with my husband and boxer dog . I really enjoyed the cherry scone with Jam and cream and the staff go above and beyond. Love the quirky tea pots and got to say hello to Gerald the Goose.

We had an excellent afternoon tea delivered yesterday. The selection of sandwiches and savouries were really great and more than enough for two. There was also a tray of an amazing array of mini cakes, so much to choose from and all delicious. Would definitely...

After visiting the beach, we popped in for lunch, lovely staff and great food. The Lemon Madeira cake was scrumptious

I think the phrase "hidden gem" is often overused, having said that the old post office definitely fits the bill. From the lovely and friendly owner who gave our little dog the warmest of welcomes to the exceptional home cooked food and cakes. The rear terrace is a lovely environment to sit and enjoy breakfast, lunch or coffee and cake after a long walk on the beach.

Came here after being to the beach. Dog friendly which is important for us. Fresh food, lovely staff, eco friendly toilet. Brilliant little place.

Our daughter surprised us this afternoon with a delivery of afternoon tea from The old post office and the basket was so well presented and the food was delicious so much so that we don’t want anything else all day totally over the moon both with our daughter,son-in-law and family and the old post office 10/10

A fantastic welcome a lovelly cafe and setting great service great food everything about this place is spot on give it a go you won't be dissapointed

Lovely cafe close to a great beach. A warm welcome and excellent service at this small cafe. We checked it out with a coffee and scone, then after a walk on the beach went back for soup and a bacon sandwich. All excellent.

TEA SHOP ( the old post office) at Mappleton beach is a great place to stop and relax after taking your dog for a walk on the beach .- Great for walkers / cyclists and campers who have walked from the campsite at Great Hatfield ( woodlake) to take their well earned break at this warm and friendly teashop ( dog friendly) with lovely food / cakes/ ice cream and dog treats

Lovely little out of the way tea room with delicious scones and a decent cuppa coffee. Coffee cup could have been bigger or a grande option perhaps but that's just me as I like a big cuppa. Friendly staff and quirky loos.

Bring your dog. Build up an appetite. Please note closed Mondays. Simple and very wholesome . Far more sensible than this website which keeps on telling me I should say more when I have said enough

As cyclists we have visited this cafe since it was tiny, just two tables, and are delighted that it has expanded without spoiling the atmosphere (it's still not too big). It's one of our favourite coffee stops, with friendly service and excellent cakes!

As the rain poured down and half of Yorkshire disappeared underwater my wife and I and our two local friends sought solace in this delightful cafe by the coast. We treated ourselves to home made steak pie and peas, with mint sauce if required for the peas and a hug of gravy. An absolute treat it was too, melt in the mouth pastry, washed down with pots of tea. It would have been rude not to try an ice cream too, so I plumped for a double waffle with chocolate and toffee fudge. Worth also noting is the self composting loo, a laudable effort in these times of climate change awareness. A lovely experience, thank you.

One of our favourite places !An hour on the beach with the dogs,Then back to the tea rooms for tea and cake or lunch.Lovely home made fare and very dog friendly,even doggy mattresses for them to lie on! Friendly obliging staff,and lots of doggy things for sale.We have bought coats,leads,harnesses etc,all at great prices.

Been here two days in a row and am sure we’ll be back again tomorrow! The food is simply beautiful-all freshly made. The service is fantastic and so friendly. So lovely to be able to take the dog (Archie) inside and he was treated just as well as us!! Husband said the crab sandwich was delicious and the cakes were simply beautiful. The home made scones are a must!!

Delicious home-made soup - plenty of choice but I tend to choose the oxtail with wholemeal bread and a pot of tea - my dog gets spoilt too with lots of cuddles and treats. Lovely that dogs are allowed in.

Called in on a quick trip to the coast. Glad to see the place open as it’s been a few years since I’ve last been. Great service, lovely little place, cozy, they made bacon and egg butties for us which weren’t even on the menu and only added 50p to the bill ! My partner had a bottomless pit of tea as it seemed to last forever lol. Wish my cappuccino had too as it was tasty. Value for money and good food makes this a great place to grab lunch if you’re in the area.

This was a wonderful experience for my husband and myself. I don't eat bread so was given a special wrap selection of "sarnies" which were delicious. The ice-cream dessert was wonderful and the selection of cakes were all delicious. We took home the cakes we were unable to finished enjoyed them at home. Thankyou to all the staff for a very enjoyable afternoon.

I have been here before many a time, with family and friends and all have appreciated the warm reception and fine refreshments to be found.
