World Peace Cafe in South Derbyshire

My children brought me here for a Mother’s Day brunch. We were really pleased with the food and the staff were ‘joyful’. We spent almost two hours there. At no time were we encouraged to move on. I can only imagine how lovely it will be in the summer

Very friendly staff, lovely feel to the cafe, only had cake and coffee but both were very good. Dog friendly and lovely grounds to give the pooch a run in.

We do love this cafe and it does have a lovely peaceful vibe, hence the name, and the food is lovely although there are no meat dishes if you are a meat eater because of it being a Buddhist centre. The carrot and coriander soup is delicious and my favourite dish there. But the only problem is that because it is not a very big place inside it is simply too small to accommodate dogs as it isn't big enough to have a designated area for dogs and their owners away from customers who do not have dogs and do not want them near when eating. There is an outside area which would be better for dogs as it is bigger. We were there for lunch one day and there were 6 dogs inside which was very uncomfortable especially as I am nervous of dogs. I think consideration should be given to all customers and not just dog owners especially in such a small cafe. However, the staff are lovely and very welcoming and I hope in the future they can come to some solution that is suitable for all customers.

A lovely warm welcome from the staff, we loved the chilled relaxed atmosphere. We had the carrot & corridor soup, a panini and coffee , which were all delicious. The display and range of freshly made cakes was so tempting that we also had lemon drizzle. Thank you, we will be returning

Freshly prepared food and great coffee. Excellent flavour combinations and well worth a visit. The setting is beautiful too and a very relaxed and welcoming vibe.

We love coming to this beautiful centre and cafe to enjoy a coffee and food. We also walk from here along the footpath on The old Great Northern railway towards Mickleover. The staff are lovely, very welcoming and the food/ drinks excellent. The huge conifer trees that line the entrance to the hall are worth seeing. Plenty of parking.

Visited Sat afternoon on 20th Nov for coffee and cake. The place is lovely and welcoming and the dining area even has a cosy wood burner. Walking in the smell of fresh coffee was fantastic and it tasted just as good. There was a wide range of cakes, sampled a couple between us and they were delicious. The lady that served us said that they were planning to widen the menu again soon with paninis, salads etc. so we'll definitely be back to try them. Had a little wander round the grounds after and the surroundings are so peaceful, so all in all a very restorative outing. We'll definitely be back again and again.

Yet another lovely trip... had some amazing cherry marzipan cake and my husband had apple cake. The coffees are always lovely and it's so nice to wander around the beautiful grounds afterwards. Staff are super lovely.

Good venue, to have coffee and panini after a tandem ride from Derby . Soup , panini' or baguette available . And a tempting vegan cake ... Other cakes available , Lovely grounds to stroll around.

waiting time was to long despite lots of people looking busy behind the counter. The kids wanted hot chocolate with Marshmallows, but they didn't have them those. They seem to liked the drink. Their Lemon drizzle cake, they shared was brought on only one plate, was very thin with 2 large forks. I wanted to order a Earl grey Tea with fresh lemon. but they didn't have lemon: so I ask for Thai with Soya milk, but they only had Thai Latte but unfortunately it wasn't hot. All in all not such a good experience , overpriced too!

Great place for a dog walk or to cycle to lovely setting and very friendly people Coffees are excellent and a good variety of food

The sun was shining and this little cafe hit the spot. Drinking a double espresso in a beautiful courtyard - perfect.

It's such a lovely peaceful place to eat. It was my first time visiting the Tara Buddist centre and it was beautiful. I had Jacket potato, goat's cheese, baked beans, and a side salad. It was well presented and so tasty. Serves vegetarian and vegan food. The staff were very pleasant and the atmosphere very peaceful - it was great. I will certainly go again and very reasonably priced. (Open 10am to 4pm closed Mondays).

Tara Kadampa Meditation Centre - this afternoon was my time out: for contemplation, reflection, prayer, and remembrance. Coffee at the World Peace Cafe offered delightful brunch and light lunch options, yummy cakes and fabulous coffees and teas. You can then truly enjoy being immersed in the calm and tranquil energy the meditation centre naturally generates. I feel re-energised and revived after bathing in the beauty and positive energy and aura of this amazing place today🙏🧘🏽‍♂️

This is such a beautiful place and the gardens are so lovely to stroll around. Firstly the entrance has a wow factor with the huge sequoias lining the driveway. We walked around the grounds in the sunshine and then went a bit further through rougher ground in a loop which was very nice. We had a baby and a dog with us and sat outside at the café. My daughter who was with us recommended the vegan cakes but we had some vegan and some vegetarian and all were good. The lunch menu was limited but looked appetising and will try it on another occasion. We found it a quiet and serene place to visit and everyone seemed friendly and relaxed. Would definitely recommend it.

Lovely vegetarian cafe to pop into for a light snack, including toasted tea cake, fresh baguette and delightful slices of homemade cakes. Selection of hot and cold drinks. Pleasant staff/service and reasonable prices.

Good range of vegan options. Great to see a selection of vegan cakes 🧁. It was great to have a choice. There is a disabled toilet, however I noticed the red emergency cord was tied up, tangled and was some way off the floor. This...

I've been a few times now and I love nearly everything about this great coffee shop and cafe, the only tiny thing I don't like is that on occasion when it's closed, I've driven down, parked up, walked into the courtyard and only then found...

One has left a full review under the cafe name, World Peace cafe, it's really something very special and I love my little visits here

Rode down the old train track to grab a tea and cake. All the staff are friendly and greeted us with a smile. The cakes are all vegan and tbf I wouldn’t have been able to tell. I had a sponge and it was amazing...

Wonderful course Lovely food-vefetarial and vegan Great coffee Lovely peaceful grounds No need to be a Buddhist, everyone is welcome

What a wonderful course we have had. Learning to meditate and be happy. Topped up with kind, caring staff and lovely refreshments. Can I come back today? The feeling of calm and tranquility is emotionally, physically and mentally recharging

Have visited here on my own and with my children, and we always come away calm and chilled! We visited a couple of weeks ago and took part in African Drumming at the annual Christmas Fayre. You’re always guaranteed a warm welcome, whether walking in...

What a lovely place to Visit lovely people and very friendly ,we stopped here for a coffee and biscuits and found it fascinating .

Beautiful setting just outside of derby . Had a really nice vegan lunch and camomile tea really good value . They also do gluten free cakes and food . Walked around the centre and found out what kind of meditations they do . Very relaxing...

We were made to feel really welcome as soon as we arrived! Everyone we met was so friendly and really helpful. We sat out in the beautiful peaceful courtyard with our dogs; they got so much fuss and attention...even had water brought over to them,...

Staff and environment very welcoming. Didn’t feel rushed even when the staff were closing the cafe. Homemade cakes were a treat and reasonably priced. Well worth a visit.

Very spiritual place with beautiful gardens to stroll in. Love coming here and enjoying the tranquility of the surroundings.

A special evening of guided meditation and food. Was very popular so not as peaceful as I’d hoped for but still enjoyable. Was a little crammed in the cafe and had to pass meals along as no room for staff to move freely. Couldn’t moan...

This is a Buddhist Centre in a beautiful location with a great cafe. The grounds are lovely for a walk and the Centre itself is very interesting offering all kinds of classes etc. Everyone is friendly and welcoming but not pushy. The World Peace Cafe...

First of all, the food is really good and well-priced. But even if the food was not good, the friendly international staff (from France, Greece, Germany...), and the lovely and calm atmosphere of the place, makes the cafe worth a visit. Plus their hot drinks and cakes are amazing as well - did I mention that one can get vegan milk-options + cakes as well?
