Great little village cafe. Decent coffee, good food.

Nice little cafe on Prestbury's High St. Good assortment of pastries. Still need to try a few more.

Came on a walk for lunch instead of using pubs in the village - wasn’t disappointed! We both had Full English - exotic breakfast may have been a better title, with really tasty eggs, sausage, black pudding a bacon with an amazing home-made tasting bean dish. Pot of tea was perfect.

This little bakery is lovely. It’s hard to pick and choose. The Bakewell tart is the best.

An absolutely lovely little cafe! The food is extremely well made, fresh and delicious, and the prices are very reasonable.The staff were friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was very nice as well. Prepared meals were lovely and so were the cakes- I highly recommend the pistachio cake thing!Coffee also very good.Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian options, for example soup of the day.

Great cappuccino with lovely baked in the premises chorizo sausage roll followed by equally nice custard doughnut . Stool seating to the front and table and chairs to the rear, nice atmosphere.Good value and will be back.

What a pleasant surprise! A spacious cafe serving excellent coffee and toast pastries... in walking distance of home! The breakfast menu looks great; I'll be back to try it out!

Upon arriving with 5 friends we were delighted to find such a lovely spot to grab breakfast on the go. The bacon sandwiches on sourdough were delicious and substantial, and the cakes and pastries looked yummy as well. Unfortunately, the service was appalling. I took a reusable cup in which we explained might need a teabag thrown away first as I'd just finished my tea. The person making coffees (who turned out to be the person in charge) was clearly annoyed at having to use a reusable cup where most decent places these days are more than happy to do so. I had ordered a flat white, as had others in my party, but was served a latte-sized drink in said reusable cup. When I politely asked if it was possible to remake it as I can't handle that much milk I was given such a steely look that, had I been on my own, I would have just asked for my money back and walked out. I worked in a similar bakery for 5yrs and would never have behaved this way to a customer. Spend your money elsewhere and support a small business that is nice to their customers because this place clearly finds their customers loathsome!
Prestbury really needed a cafe. There are three pubs in the village but so far there has been nowhere else to sit down and have a sandwich and a coffee. Fortunately Penny Blacks opened in the old post office (hence the name) and is deservedly popular with locals. It is dog-friendly, child-friendly and just plain friendly. The coffee and the pastries are good, so are the sandwiches and the brunch items.

My almond croissant was hard and tried to charge me twice for it. Plus they don't take cash. Doubt I'll be back though it was nice and cosy on a cold day.

Coffee was good. Breakfast was expensive, asked for one egg and no sourdough, but was charged the same as full offering? Wondering if I'd asked for extra egg or bread would I have been charged more,
Very friendly and comfortable
