Thingy-Ma-Jigs Coffee House in Redcar and Cleveland

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.

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

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!!

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).

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 😋

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!

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

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

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

A beautiful little cafe all of the produce is homemade well worth a visit at reasonable prices

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.

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

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

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

gorgeous little cafe with delicious vegan cake! staff were friendly and welcoming and the cafe was very clean

Always a great place to go for a coffee and a treat. Bruce, Sarah and family are always very welcoming.

Really good coffee and the best hot chocolate ever made

Cakes are gorgeous and so light good friendly service

Great coffee, lovely cakes fab service. Support your local cafes/ coffee shops

Excellent food and service, good value good veggie/vegan options and dog friendly. Fab

really good coffee and a great selection of gluten free and dairy free cakes

Always a warm and welcoming greeting from Bruce. Produce of a high quality and know that anything I buy for my younger son is most definitely Gluten free! X😊

We followed the hand written board placed at the top of the high street and at first were hesitant owing to the external decor, however we entered a world of fabulousness. A local, small business with cakes and coffee to die for. We like to support local rather than the large chains. Smartly presented raspberry muffin with cream and fresh fruit; the best cheese scone with accompanying chutney and smooth flavoursome coffee at exactly the right temperature.

It was so good to go to a cafe and know I could anything at all. I was like a kid in a sweet shop! We had a panini (my gluten eating husband said it was excellent). I'd recommend the cheese and ham. And my toddler had the cheese scone with a fruity chutney. And oh.my.god, what a revelation. The scone was better than any I've ever tried. And it went so well with the chutney! I was disappointed my little boy liked it so much because I was willing to steal a lot of that!

Very nice cafe best coffee I had in a long time and great service and the cafe itself was very cozy and cute

Amazing place, highly recommend!

Wonderful cafe. Cosy, friendly, delicious and accommodates all dietary requirements to perfection. Great with pets too. Bruce and Co. are a real pleasure. Hands down the best cafe in Guisborough.

Fabulous, freshly baked GLUTEN FREE cakes, bakes & savouries. Afternoon teas, highly recommended!

We have been trying to support our local independent businesses and I am so glad we have Thingy-Ma-Jigs is a gem, the coffee is really good and the cake is incredible! If you get a chance try their Battenberg which is all homemade and possibly the best cake I have eaten, just ordered a whole one for my husbands 50th Birthday in May. Please give them a try and don't go to the big franchises.

Such a nice coffee, once covid restrictions have lifted can't wait to go back and sit and have some cake too

W O W Amazing afternoon tea, presented in boxes, sandwiches wrapped and tied, cakes x 6 (i think!) then a pie, quiche and savoury scone...absolutely fantastic. Thankyou cant recommended enough. P.S photos do not do this justice

Fantastic range of gluten free treats! Excellent atmosphere and friendly service. 10/10 would recommend

Amazing quality home made produce at reasonable prices, and a friendly guy (who bakes it all perfectly) to serve you. Will be back!

We came to this lovely little coffee shop whilst visiting the quaint town of Guisborough..A very clean , dog friendly place to get a bite to eat , lovely panini s quiche and salad , many delicious home made gluten free and vegan cakes and lovely coffee ..Can highly recommend this well run friendly cafe ..Will definitely return .

Great service my wife is gluten intolerant so nice to go somewhere which caters for gluten free food

Very good as always. Very hot latte and pannini.

My panini and my partner's coffee and cake were all very good. The only downside was that we were cold! Despite the temperature being about 9 degrees the outside door was wide open and the only heating appeared to be a small fan heater which I don't think was on. We'll come back in summer!

Having found most coffee shops in the area closed we were delighted to discover that this cafe stays open until 5pm. What’s more it welcomes dogs so we would sit in their comfortable interior rather than having a take out. The coffee was served in good sized cups and well prepared. The cakes were tasty and well presented with fresh fruit and cream on the side. A real find, we will be back.

Wow just wow, the most amazing lunch I've ever had. The entirely GF cafe I've been too. I came to the area to visit family from Derby and as someone with a severe intolerance to gluten this is such an amazing little gem to find. Both my parents are not GF but both enjoyed their food so much that they will be coming back without me as they enjoyed the food so much. The takeaway food we took back has gone down really well too. Perfect little place. Love it!!

Amazing gem of a cafe. Everything is home baked and everything is gluten free and very tasty. Nice for once to enjoy somthing fresh, instead of making do with an over priced prepackaged morsel.

Cosy little cafe, family run. Freshly made each day, cakes and scones, cakes were delicious! Friendly staff, quick service. Will definitely return. Great place to catch up over a coffee!

Always have an amazing experience here, the food is absolutely outstanding! It is so nice to go to a place with no concerns of cross contamination. Bruce clearly loves what he does and that shows in the quality of the food and customer service. Even if you don't have any dietary requirements, I would recommend visiting!

The best shortbread in the British isles ,awesome cakes ,lovely family run artisan coffee house made n served with love ,that you can taste

I wish we could sit in your coffee shop, relax and watch the world pass by....but we can't so have to make do with a takeaway hot choc-amazing as always and a coffee, great to see you. Keep up the great service and looking forward to me time in the window. Thank you

I have visited Thingy Ma Jigs many times before lock down began and have always enjoyed my visit. All the food on the menu is gluten free so no worry of cross contamination which is brilliant as I have coeliac disease. The owner is very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. My favourite are the scones with jam and cream and the Victoria sponge cake which is delicious. The coffee is also lovely.Since lock down I’ve been ordering food to pick up for myself and my parents. This has been the highlight of our week having gluten free quiches, corned beef and potato pie and gluten free cake. This past weekend we ordered 2 gluten free afternoon teas as a treat to pick up and we sat and eat these in the garden. All the food was amazing. You got a selection of cakes, wraps, individual corned beef and pot pies, fruit and cheese scones, sandwiches, drink. The food was presented and packaged beautifully. So pleased I live local to this cafe so can visit often although I think I would happily travel a long way to visit.
