A small café tucked away in the streets of Matlock serving coffee and lovely baked treats. We had the carrot cake, a cappuccino and the mini Victoria cake. The baked goods were fresh and so cute! The micro flowers were a lovely touch and crumb was tender and moist. The cafe itself was decorated beautifully and made for lovely pictures!

Took my Mum for an afternoon tea last weekend and it was absolutely lovely! Great value for the amount of food you get and great quality fresh sandwiches and cakes. Would definitely recommend over other places! £30 for the lot which included an upgrade from tea to coffee without question! Other places would charge that per person and be nowhere near as nice! Would definitely recommend and will be back! X

Staying in Matlock for a couple of nights and looking for somewhere for breakfast with a different offering to the traditional cooked breakfast this is a real gem of a find. The best bowl of porridge I have ever had when eating out. Made properly with the freshest of berries to complement. Delicious. Accompanied by a wonderful coffee from a local roasters made for the perfect breakfast. We just wish that we had room to try the wonderful selection of homemade cakes. Hopefully next time.

We always park in the Dale Road car park and walk into Matlock. We had passed this on several occasions and decided to pop in and try it. It’s now our first stop when going to Matlock. The food is very, very good and the staff are lovely. Great place for coffee and breakfast. This time I had porridge with peanut butter and banana. Very reasonable prices for such great food and drinks.

Lovely coffee shop and a bakery. Great selection of freshly made cakes, cookies and other sweets. Large section of tea with different flavors. The coffee was good and the service was lovely. Definitely worth making a stop and recharge.

Love, love, love this cafe. The strawberry, watermelon, mint smoothie was delicious. Avocado toast, just right. The ploughmans lunch was on spot. A must visit if you are in Matlock.
