Arrived late on Good Friday, food was excellent, cooked fresh and served quickly. Prices are fair. Would certainly eat there again.

Not open when we thought it would be.

The coffee and cake were very nice - home made cake, too - but it took a while to arrive as there was only one member of staff on duty and she seemed a bit stressed trying to do 4 cooked breakfasts plus my coffee order, then a table of 7 turned up so she was struggling. I'm sure that with more staff it would work much better. Definitely would go back, on a future visit to Wirksworth.

In a world full of Costa and Starbucks etc etc etc ..it was such a treat to find such a gem....the owner is doing her best and the scones cakes and coffee are so 'homemade" it's ALWAYS a treat to escape to here! I'll keep supporting independent traders, the soul of Wirksworth xx

Please note the previous review where someone state they only offered disposable cups was on the Wirksworth Festival weekend - usual service is in regular cups/plates/cutlery… I have been going to the sour cow since December 2023 - it’s changed hands, is family run and Kelly is building a menu that reflects the tastes of the customers. The cheese toasties are fabulous, coffee is great and there’s always chat if you want it. If you don’t see what you’d like just ask - if they can they will accommodate you. The cafe is friendly, responsive and Kelly and her team always want to do their best! Ooh and if you happen to be there when they’ve baked cookies - try them! ❤️????
Lovely little cafe, I went in the morning and had a freshly baked scone which was delicious!

This place has sticky tables, serves tea in paper cups and you have to fish your teabag from your paper cup with a wooden spoon. Tasteless teas too. Grubby interior and the tables aren’t cleared frequently. If you can’t do a decent job, don’t bother opening.

Absolutely Amazing. i’ve returned back to the small town of wirksworth as it is the summer holidays and came back to spend time with my family. we came to the sour cow as we use to go there last year. the place is under new management (the lady is so welcoming) we ordered some toasties and some hot drinks the drinks were bought to us within under 5 minutes which i’d say was amazing timing due to the little space that they have. for the food i had the special of the day which was a bacon, cheddar and chilli jam toastie and it was DELICIOUS. the salad on the side was also great. overall the food was amazing aswell as the service. the manager/cafe owner was welcoming and so kind. i would definitely recommend visiting this cafe if you do end up in wirksworth. will 100% be returning again!

We visited this lovely little cafe for lunch during a day out in Wirksworth. It is small but very charming. The two ladies who were serving were friendly and polite. We ate toasties which were very tasty and best of all came with a delicious side salad (salad leaves, cherry tom, cucumber, radish, peppers, pomegranate seeds and dressing). This made my day as I love a proper bit of salad!! Reasonably priced too. Plus the cafe owner (presumably) gave us lots of advice on where to visit in the local area. We'd definitely go back if we were in the area. Lovely cafe in a lovely town :)

This place has a new owner who is lovely. Looked after us and gave a very friendly welcome.
