Thingy-Ma-Jigs Coffee House in Redcar and Cleveland

Brilliant place very friendly staff and sharing board five star ⭐

Fantastic coffee shop! Excellent coffee, and provides fruit and cream with the cakes as part of the service. Tiny café though, but warm atmosphere, lovely owners, and dog friendly so great for the hill walkers and holiday makers! Definitely recommend!

One of the nicest little cafes I’ve ever been to. Gorgeous cake and hot chocolate. Pretty decor. Cosy, peaceful, and welcoming atmosphere. Very well priced. And the gentleman serving was so friendly and polite. I’m kicking myself for not trying this place sooner. You’ve got a new regular!

All gluten free Beautiful tasty food Happy friendly staff Brilliant place

An entirely gluten free menu. I'm not on a gluten free diet bit still enjoyed my panini and scone. Lovely atmosphere. Small place

By far the best option in Guisborough for anyone who is gluten free. Everything for sale is gluten free and many people visit without realising. The GF scones are better than any I've tasted, and there's home made soup as well as many wonderful cakes. These include cheesecake, muffins, Victoria sponge, battenburg and many other delicious recipes - all home made. Soya milk is offered as an option and there are good dairy free options. Excellent GF paninis and soup too. And the bonus - Bruce and Sarah let dogs in! I go out of my way to visit - well worth it. Check out their Facebook page for a daily photo update on cakes. :-) Oh and it's extremely inexpensive.

Great place to eat all homemade produce the cream tea is fantastic why not popping and give it a try

The food is fantastic. The owner is always really noce and friendly

Staff are absolutely lovely and the food is stunning! Loved the atmosphere here and bonus it’s dog friendly! Will definitely be back! :)

Lovely food and owners so friendly and all gluten free

Lovely cafe , really friendly service . First time there, but will be back for sure xx

Excellent service and great cosey atmosphere.

We came to have a walk around Guisborough. Decided we would try the cafe. Omg I'm so glad we did. The homemade soup with a muffin was delicious. Then we saw the sweet treats. Cheesecake and Victoria sponge were presented so nice. And tasted just as good as they looked. We will be back 100% recommend 👌

Delightful place with excellent presentation. Very friendly staff who made you feel welcome. And can't believe the price: 2 hot drinks plus 2 cakes for less than £10. 😱😱😱

My favourite place! 100% gluten free and so many dairy free and vegan options. Coffee is amazing AND well priced. I tell everyone I know about this place, a little hidden gem

Having seen Thingy-ma-jigs recommended on social media we decided to pay a visit, and we were not disappointed. My wife is coeliac so cannot risk gluten contamination. We became a little concerned because the food tasted so good and didn't have the gluten free taste usually present, but the owner confirmed everything was safe. We live 35 miles away, but will be back as often as we can.

Fabulous food, great service, clean premises. Nothing is too much trouble for this lovely little family run cafe. Everything made on the premises is gluten free with dairy free and vegetarian options. Large variety of sweet and savoury options with lots of hot and cold drinks to choose from.

So glad to find this place. Searched "best coffee near me" & diverted here from the North Yorks Moors off the back of all the good reviews. A warm welcome from the couple who own it set the tone. It was lush on every level. All baked goods were homemade; I'm a sucker for a cheese scone, YUM. Coffees were excellent as expected. Will definitely visit again. That epic afternoon tea really caught my eye.....

Great little coffee shop which does lovely coffee (decaf for us) and cakes (the Rocky Road was amazing). A lovely reacted atmosphere in a cosy environment. Perfect for an afternoon cup of coffee!

Very wet and foggy day when we found this wee jewel. Very welcoming toward our 2 wet dogs. The coffee was excellent and the cream scones were fantastic and all for a very good price.

Beautiful small cafe with homemade food, couple serving very pleasant and chatty. We had panini which was tasty, a bit disappointed that it didn’t come with a bit of salad and crisps. However the cakes were fabulous to die for and the hot chocolate was the best I’ve tasted. Would definitely recommend a cuppa and a cake, if you can get a table, not too pricey for the quality.

Fantastic little cafe in a central location. Staff were amazingly attentive without being over fussy and very polite and friendly. Food was brilliant - had a panini which was absolutely delicious. Main star of the visit was the range of cakes - most if not all (can’t remember) were gluten free with many being dairy free too. Thoroughly delicious - would recommend as a pop in or meeting with friends - venue is not massive so not great for large groups but well worth a visit! Coffee was locally roasted and delightful!

Ordered a afternoon take away tea for 2 and the massive variety of cakes, sandwiches, wraps, two type of scones plus quiche and corn beef pie was unreal. The food was fresh, homemade and delicious there was enough for 3 of us. Looking forward to booking in for a Festive afternoon tea in a few months time. Highly recommend

Very nice coffee. Quirky interior. Friendly service. Good value. Nice for dogs.

It's a tiny place but doesn't feel jammed up. Lovely decor and great atmosphere. No blaring music so you can chat comfortably. The service was fast and helpful and the food was great. Can't believe everything was gluten free. Even the little shortbread that came with the lattes The price was exceptional. He needs to start charging more. Three drinks, three desserts, and two panini's, less than £30. Pretty amazing. I even heard him say to another customer that no gluten is ever handled in-store so it's such a comfortable place to eat for people avoiding gluten I had a tikka panini and it was very tasty. Followed by a battenburg cake dessert that he makes himself. Definitely going back! 10/10

As always had an incredibly experience here! Regularly go out of our way to visit. Whole menu is gluten free with vegan options. I had the coronation chicken panini and the battenberg cake and would recommend both 😋

fuelled my time at the local college, the coffees single handed kept me going throughout exam season. such gorgeous window displays and excellent food ♡♡♡

Don't know why it took me so long to review but I love coming here. • The cakes are amazing (my favourite is the battenberg) • dog friendly cafe • short walk from car parks •Gluten free everything •friendly and welcoming staff who go above and beyond

Nice compact dog friendly cafe. Only about 5 tables but enough room.

As my partner is coeliac this place is a sanctuary for us as everything is gluten free. We live in Durham and there is nowhere comparable locally - we have tried! The food is the best gluten free cakes, pie and quiche we have ever had and the prices very reasonable. I just hope it never changes, such a good place, with friendly and attentive staff. It's obviously popular so sometimes there are no tables, it could be twice the size and still full.

Excellent cafe. Friendly welcome. Great loose leaf tea, amazing hot chocolate, lovely cakes and excellent staff. Perfect.

Coffee, cakes, traybakes and scones always lovely 👍

Best tea in Guisborough good well presented cakes too ,nice ambiance to the place

Visited this lovely cafe with my mum for the first time yesterday, after seeing the good reviews. And we were delighted, Bruce made us great coffee and served our choice of cakes, carefully halved and beautifully presented so we could share. The cakes are homemade and delicious. I live in Coventry so sadly can’t be a regular, but will certainly visit again, and highly recommend. My mum will be visiting again soon!

Everything here is made gluten free so zero chance of contamination. Nice home made food and drinks. My wife and daughter love it.

Great coffee, delicious vegan cake and good music 🤘💜 Thank you!

top notch place for when you want a break from your shopping spree. nice atmosphere and great interior. did I mention its dogs friendly! if you have any food allergies don't worry this place has you covered. everything is gluten free and has many vegan options. overall a fantastic cafe. only issue would be that it's small but it adds to the character of the place in my opinion giving it that vintage feel and that you've just discovered a secret in the town of gusbrough

My absolute favourite cafe. Fantastic for coffee, cake or even lunch. So far my favourites are the lemon and orange cake & the Sweet Potato Spiced Soup with savoury scone/muffin (both dairy free and gluten free).

Went in here with our two dogs and didn’t realise that everything served is gluten free. It wasn’t until my wife wet to pick a slice of cake that we found out. We had panini which were excellent and lovely harissa and sweet potato soup to start. We then decided to share a slice of cake and having tried lots GF cakes this was very good. Would certainly recommend this place, excellent service and good food.

Visited on 7th March. Lovely cafe, friendly ambience. We both had great paninis, coffees and then cakes to take away. My millionaire shortbread was the best I've ever had! Not boasting, but I've sampled many! I wish I had your recipe!!

Lovely little cafe, very reasonably priced and dog friendly too.

Small inside, a little cramped tbh but everyone was friendly and we were soon chatting to the people on our table. Drinks and food were wonderful! We had homemade soup and savoury scone and it was delicious. My friend is on a gluten free diet and it was so nice for her to be able to choose anything on the menu without worry. Thanks Bruce and the team.

Great coffee and cakes. Bruce is a fantastic local business owner

Very good coffee, great cakes and other treats they make themselves. Super friendly service. Will definitely be back.

Friendly place for dog owners. Lovely coffee and vegan cakes.

Absolutely fantastic cakes and scones and service.I am gluten free and I have never had food like it. I will recommend this cafe for everyone. Even if not gluten intolerant. My mother in law said she had the best hot chocolate she has ever had. The food was delicious and presented immaculately.

A delightful and unexpected find. A little quirky but we were made so comfortable and the owner was so accommodating. Not a place for a quick in and out, but we'll worth a visit. If you a want chain coffee outlets coffee, you will not go back to their diesel slop.

One of us is a coeliac so when we spotted this all gluten-free cafe we had to visit for morning tea and cake. Its a cosey compact space and obviously popular with locals and visitors. Ironically the non-coeliac among us has a serious strawberry allergy and had to have the beautifully presented slice of cake adjusted due to the strawberry garnish. there is a fabulous range of home-made cakes and great coffee and Yorkshire tea,

Wonderful food especially the Red Velvet cake 🎂

Without a doubt, the best gluten-free cakes I've tried anywhere in the country so far, nice friendly cafe giving that been in a warm country house style feeling instead of cold bland cafes . The owner, who is also the Baker and with his son, serves the food , are both very nice and polite, and make you feel very welcome entering and leaving the cafe. Would love more meal selections but giving the fact that all the cakes are freshly baked every day and the cafe isn't a big building its probably not possible at the moment but I'm hoping one day this might be possible because every thing this baker makes is excellent and I highly recommend anyone passing by to pop in and treat your self.

amazing service, lovely and friendly staff will definitely be coming back !!

Best selection of gluten free cakes I’ve ever come across in over 30 years of being a coeliac, beautifully presented wish we’d been in the area at lunchtime

Three of us called in for cake and coffee (one coeliac) which was delicious plenty of gluten free options rather than the usual single option. So we decided to have paninis which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. A fully gluten place is the way to go. The place is cosy and I was delighted to find paper towels in the toilet. I wish you continued success

The food was lovely and they were very allergen-friendly and great service! :)

My wife and I have been visiting Thingy-Ma-Jigs Coffee House in Guisborough for several months now on a weekly basis. Sadly, we can't visit more than once a week due to commitments - if I had my way, I would have my breakfast there, Tuesday to Saturday! Bruce makes, in particular, a terrific cappuccino and our other personal favourites include ham and cheese panini, corned beef & potato pie and freshly baked muffins. Have to be grateful to Bruce and his family for all their hard work and commitment to all of us Coeliacs (but, to be honest, I believe anyone, Coeliac or not, would enjoy a visit to this welcoming coffee house).

Epic fresh scone and deliciously creamy take away soya coffee! Usually go in to sit for lunch, so this was our first take away breakfast, excellent!

Great coffee, gorgeous homemade soup, yummy range of cakes Inc GF. Good service. Dog friendly

So lovely to go to eat out and not worry about being glutened. Food was excellent 👌 scone was the best ever. Coeliacs great place to go, wish there were more places like the gluten free. Thank you Lorna

Beautiful little spot ! Dog friendly gluten free menu with the most amazing moist cakes!it’s a win win for our family.

If you visit Guisborough I highly recommend you call in at Thingy-Ma-Jigs, a quaint little cafe, especially if you are Coeliac but go even if you aren’t as my husband thoroughly enjoyed his lunch as much as I did! Having chatted with Bruce, who owns the establishment, I discovered he does not have any gluten on the premises whatsoever so there is absolutely no fear of cross contamination. He also told me that he makes all the scrumptious cakes himself. Thank you Bruce for your hard work and dedication!

Small cafe which caters for Gluten free, and also had some gluten and dairy free. Great range of teas. Including flowering teas! And matcha green tea. Normal tea and coffee too. I had a chicken tikka panini. It was nice. The millionaires caramel shortbread was delicious, served with cream and berries too. My friends had other items, a scone, flapjack, slice of cake. They all looked lovely. The cafe is fairly small but nice. Very homely and seemed like a traditional style tea shop in some ways. It was dog friendly too but I would suggest if your dog is a larger dog, it may not be best to take them at peak times. Table service. There was only one member of staff working when we went... Good on them, I couldn't have coped doing everything when it was that busy.

Absolutely love this cafe, the home made food is delicious and the service is attentive and friendly. Gluten free is so hard to do and to do it to high standards, as done here, is such an amazing asset to Guisborough.

The best coffee shop I've ever found. It's totally gluten free and has loads of dairy free/vegan options too. The afternoon teas are to die for. Amazing quality and a brilliant price. I'd never go anywhere else for one. I'm pretty sure, with notice he can cater for other allergies/intolerances too. Its a small family run business and you really get that homely feeling when you go in. Bruce, works really hard to bake all the wonderful treats and works in there 5 days of the week. He's the sort that knows all his regular customers by name and their order. It's so funny to watch people walk in shout "Hi Bruce" before he replies with their name and asks if they want the usual. It can get really busy but you see people leaving when there's no seats and popping back as they won't go anywhere else! On weekends you'll meet his lovely wife Sarah, his children or in laws all helping out and they are equally lovely, welcoming and friendly. Try it! You won't be disappointed.

This is a cafe 100% gluten free dairy free. only have a small collection of food panini soup ect lots cakes seating for about 20 people and fresh coffee. It was busy but still accessible. Cake was gorgeous very moist and not too sweet if lived in the area would come once a week definitely. Great value for money the owner Bruce makes all the cakes on site. He is an amazing chef.

Absolutely lovely! The hot chocolate was lush

I noticed a bad review based on a misjudged evaluation of Bruce. It’s impossible to understand a stranger based on a first encounter. Honesty is rare, especially these days, so rather than attempting to discredit a clearly amazing person and business, that person is advised to think before they speak and judge a gluten free food and coffee shop based on its coffee and gluten free food. Everything tastes amazing every time, and Bruce manages to do it all pretty much on his own, with help of course.

Heard the vegan options were good so thought we would give this place a try. On entering and asking about the options the owner named Bruce was very rude, patronising and unhelpful. We were made to feel very uncomfortable for asking questions. I told him he was rude and walked out. Made a complaint on their FB page to be met with hostility from his wife and abuse from a couple of his regular customers. His wife defended hoping obviously and said he was just direct. I think I know the difference between direct and downright rude . Would not recommend this place to anyone. My original comment on their fb page miraculously disappeared.

Small and cosy, nice atmosphere and dogs are allowed in, my little one enjoyed all the fuss

Really liked this place. Gluten and dairy free options for lunch and cakes. The place has a really nice vibe and a friendly gaffer. Highly recommended.

Randomly ended up here. Great little place with a nice vibe. A real find. Lots of gluten and dairy free cakes and lunch options. Absolutely worth a visit.

If you are coeliac or are eating out with a coeliac this is a perfect completely gluten free oasis, with no gluten on the premises. As a gluten eater myself, I wouldn't have realised it was gf if I hadn't known. The last time we came across somewhere this good, we were in Aachen!

Totally gluten free. Excellent food and service. Lovely little cafe

Very cute. Some decent vegan options. Smaller than I expected and cold due to owner insisting on front door open, but apart from that - very nice!

Continues to be amazing, THE best hot chocolate in the area, fab coffees and gorgeous cakes. Dog friendly is a must and this gets a massive thumbs up from our pooch who loves her fusses. Thankyou x

Guisborough’s leading independent cafe.

Always fresh delicious gluten free food, Bruce is so welcoming!

Truly the very best gluten free coffee house for miles! Delicious homemade cake and coffee! I particularly love the toasted paninis. A unique ambience, where everyone is very welcome, including doggy companions! There's even an open bookshelf for the literary minded. A fantastic place, and a credit to the owner, Bruce. It's our go to place everytime we go to Guisborough. Highly recommend!

Beautiful food lovely drinks, really nice quirky shop, the chap that owns the place is extremely well presented and very easy to talk to, 10 out of 10 from me amazing

Lovely little café. Proper loose leaf tea and great cake selection. And all gluten free, in fact, there is 'no gluten on the premises'. Highly recommended.

Not too many seats, nice selection of food, decent prices. Will bring a glass of tap water for free

Go once a week for coffee and cake it is always delicious

Excellent service, lovely coffee and great cake (coffee & walnut), very reasonable prices. So nice to be able to take our two small dogs in too.

Delicious cheese and onion pannini. Followed by strawberry cake. The cake was amazing. I recommend this small but food perfect cafe

The Paninis are so nice at Thingy-ma-jigs Café and their drinks as well...

Coffee was wonderful, vegan panini was fine but the service was terrible. Abrupt and rude, really disappointing, it’s a shame really.

Best vegan coffee and walnut cake ever. Owner is a great baker, can't recommend it enough.

Fantastic experience , lovely coffee ,best vegan cake and my dogs were welcome

Mothers Day treat from my beautiful daughters. What a wonderful way to be together. Vegan and Gluten free...totally lush afternoon tea. So very impressed. Thank you for making it so special..awesome ❤👌

Best coffee shop in guisbrough by far, lovely friendly and cakes to die for

You won’t find better sweet treats or hot food (all hand made!) anywhere else, and the selection of drinks is non-comparable. Small space but so cosy, a shop with the customer at heart - though when you walk through the door you aren’t just a customer, you’re a friend. Bruce is a true gem, such that his warmth will keep you relaxed and smiling for as long or short as you decide to stay. Many vegan and gluten free options, and furry-friend-friendly too. This is perhaps one of my favourite places in the world.

One word. Superb. The best afternoon tea ever.

Great little gem in our gorgeous town, great food, THE BEST hot chocolate! and dog friendly ++++

lovely little place. beautiful cakes and lattes

Nice cake and coffee and dog friendly. Just wish they had a bit more hot food variety 😊

Fabulous baked cakes..a little gem in an old, tired market town.

Wow, what a gem in Guisborough. We drove to this market town and was very disappointed, very run down and nothing much to see. Whilst walking back to the car we stumbled upon this delightful cafe, bonus was that dogs were allowed. The coffee was delicious and according to my husband, the Battenburg cake was the nicest he'd ever had.. served with fresh fruit and cream. The gentleman that served us said that he baked all the cakes himself..a true gem, wish we lived nearer! ❤️

A lovely place, friendly welcoming staff

Great small cafe. All gluten free, some dairy free too. I'm neither, but food is so tasty. The cakes are great, freshly made etc. Does takeaway cakes/coffee too.

Lovely selection of savoury and sweet foods. The best place I’ve found for gluten free vegetarian food in the local area!

Loved this place great food ,drinks,service,and really good prices!!!!! Recomend a visit!!!! Xx
