Whistlestop Café in Derbyshire Dales

Great tea and cakes and a great range of wildlife and ecology items and gifts. Friendly staff. Nice outdoor seating area. Easily walkable from Matlock Bath.

Great value for money and very large cream tea was able to take a hole scone cream and butter, which I had the following day, supper clean and friendly staff. I would definitely call back in and recommend to friends and family

We popped in on the off chance to get something to eat on the hoof. Very friendly and engaging staff. We just had cake and coffee to eat outside. The decoration and the Wildlife shops were very interesting. Will definitely call in again when we park at the station.

Really lovely place. Very dog friendly. Great coffee, great staff. Very helpful and informative. Will definitely come again.

We popped into this cafe for coffee and cake while waiting for the train. Coffee and cake lovely and all served with a smile. All the cakes looked delicious

Stunning place, delicious cakes and coffee. Just brilliant on the side of the railway. Access easy for all abilities. Toilet and baby changing facilities too

Stopped off for a coffee and cake before my train was due. Lovely selection of home made food and friendly staff.

I had a choc fudge cake today and it was so delicious i had to buy a second one. DELICIOUS. Really eco friendly. No plastic in sight. Well done. Staff very nice and friendly. right next door to the train station. My only thing i wasn't too keen on was the toilets could do with a bit of tlc. the seat was broken and in need of a deep clean. It just needed a tidy up. Lovely place all the same.

Been using this cafe regularly since it opened around March time. Lovely cafe and staff always seem friendly. The problem is they used to do at least one vegan cake but the last several times we have battled the tourist traffic to visit they have not got any vegan options on cakes. This results in me feeling guilty tucking into a nice cake 😀 whilst my partner looks on hungry ☹️. This at last may well result in us taking this cafe of our list. They do promote vegan hot chocolate though. 😀

The food was lovely, the staff were very friendly, however we had to wait a while for our food because it was freshly prepared.

Wanted to visit here and did not have change for the carpark, asked if they could give me some change the manager piped up with they can't do that they would be doing it all day. I asked for changed if I brought some thing small and they refused wouldn't waste your time there's alot of other establishments who care about there customers.

This was our first visit since the full revamp and more extensive opening and the excellent vibe is still there, with the lovely period details kept and turned into a lovely place for children to be. It's not particularly cheap but it is good quality (and an income generator for the dynamic local Wildlife Trust) and lovely to be right on the platform. I didn't check whether dogs are allowed inside - hope so as I'd use it frequently if so.

great place to stop for a quick bite, the food and service is excellent well worth a visit when your in Matlock

Wonderful cafe right at the train station on the way to the Heights of Abraham. So many nice gifts available in the shop as well, quite reasonably priced.

Lovely little Cafe for a refreshment stop :nice to see old station building conversion. Friendly & helpful staff. Nice starting point for local walks & attractions Will be back !

Friendly staff and good coffee in old railway station building. Lots for kids to do and well set out

Had a lovely cup of tea here today , served by Bronty, beautiful surroundings,hope she remembers us as she kindly let one of us play with her bell 🛎🤣🤣👍🏻👍🏻

Exceptional cafe, really friendly staff, I enjoyed my visit there! Would definitely recommend for family visits or a catch up with friends.

We had a cup of tea with my dogs and it was very nice to sit outside and look at the wildlife garden while I had my tea and my son had a chocolate brownie,there wad water outside for dogs to drink

We stopped for lunch, me my husband and our dogs met our daughter. It was delicious food, fresh bread and really enjoyable, generous portions and friendly service

We found it to be a pleasant experience, very helpful staff, particularly Bronty. We both had a drink, nice cakes. It was particularly handy because we had our dog with us, only drawback is the queue for the toilet.

The service was quick and efficient, the staff friendly and helpful, they gave us local tourist advice. The coffee and walnut cake was a delight. I will be back!
