“ This is a lovely cafe! Great service and delicious food and lots of choice. This was our first visit here. It's just what you need after swimming. Thanks to Kerem for his kindness in returning my glasses which I'd left on the table! Just wish we lived nearer Hathersage is such a lovely place. ”
“ We have breakfast here quite often, excellent food,great coffee, very nice staff, clean toilets. No need to say more ”
“ This is a lovely cafe in Hathersage village just a little set back from the main road and only a short walk from the railway station. Convenient for refreshment after an outdoor pool swim and the breakfast menu includes a special dish of Turkish origins. Sizeable scones look good too. ”
“ A rustic cafe with a calm and homely atmosphere despite the lack of customers on a dismal day. This was my first visit here. The coffee was very good and the food appeared to be very good also but I am unable to pass judgement on account of my strict dietary needs. I can imagine that this establishment gets very busy at certain times of the year and there is a substantial amount of outside seating. Well away from the main road it must be quite pleasant for al fresco dining on sunny days. Today though the weather is keeping people confined either to their homes or the workplace. ”
“ Lovely food and big portions,all the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Also dog friendly, great little spot for breakfast/lunch. ”
“ We called for lunch after swimming in the open air pool. The scenery is stunning while sat outside. The food was freshly cooked and nice and hot. The choice of food was great. Lovely strong fresh coffee. The cake section looked amazing but had no room. Will be back to sample the cake section another day. The young gentleman who served was very friendly and nothing too much trouble. ”
“ Fab cafe, cake was absolutely delicious. Hot food look very nice too although I didn't sample it. Good prices and excellent, friendly service. Quite small and was very busy when I was there, I can see why. Outdoor seating available for the nicer weather. ”
“ All was well, absolutely nothing to complain about. Staff were very polite and friendly, service was fast and good was very nice. Would definitely recommend giving this place a try if you're in the area. ”
