I popped in this lovely little cafe for a light savoury bite, but as usual I was enticed by the cake!! The owner was a lovely lady, lots of info to share about the area. She certainly gets her 'steps' in on a daily basis as she cooks downstairs and serves upstairs! Only 3 tables, so quite small, but you didn't feel on top of each other! Lovely view of the cathedral from the window. The toastie was delicious and hot, as was the coffee, I hate getting Luke warm coffee which I have drunk before my food arrives, this coffee lasted until cake time and beyond!! The (I could'nt resist!) Bakewell slice I had was lovely and fresh. The lady even sells jams and chutneys, along with biscuits and sweets. Ice cream too, but it was far too cold!! A lovely little find on my afternoon in Ripon.

Absolutely lovely… popped in for lunch with my hubby, elderly mum & 6 year old. Delicious fresh sandwiches made to order, grated cheese that was clearly freshly grated not pre grated & rubbery from a packet and wonderful fresh cakes. Highly recommend the lemon drizzle ! Super owner behind the counter who could not have been nicer. A real little find ?

I came to Ripon for a day out and explored the town. Came here for lunch and had a really nice sausage and bacon sandwich with a slice of cake. It was a pleasant lunch, and the cafe has a really nice view of Ripon Cathedral. Very recommended!

I arranged for a 18 person buffet. Helen was lovely and very helpful. Price was good too. There was plenty of food and the cakes were amazing. I received a lot of great comments about the food. Well done Helen. We are now planning our next family get together. If you are think about food for a part go and talk to Helen .Vegetarian options: Helen did a good mix vegetarian and meat in the food. .helen also made sure about any allergies as well.

amazing! hopped in this afternoon for a bite to eat whilst waiting for my bus, and had one of the best ham and cheese toasties in my life. they’ve got alternative milks (oat and coconut today) to which i had a hot chocolate- which was also amazing. the absolute friendliest service and willing to help you out in any which way they can :) i can’t thank them enough :)

I asked Helen to make a cake for my Mums 70th birthday. The request was simple, a chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream. The cake was not simple when we collected it, it was moist delicious and had frangelico on the top as well. Many of my relatives are cake makers and they all commented on how good it was.
Lovely owner - opened up specially for us outside of business hours so we could buy some sweets and gifts for teachers, which she then gift-wrapped for us. Fair prices and the gifts were very well-received, thank you so much!

We stumbled across this lovely little cafe and the lady couldn’t have been more helpful. She rustled up a lovely vegan sandwich and fantastic coffee. Real gem of a place. Highly recommend.

Went to this lovely little cafe last Monday. What a delight with the great view of Ripon cathedral. The owner who runs the place including the baking was working alone. She was exceptionally friendly. I am not keen on going into cafes that I am unfamiliar with but we chatted like we had been friends for years The coffee was delicious and the sausage roll was the best ever tasted, huge and inexpensive. I will certainly return when next in Ripon

What a wonderful cafe situated right opposite the beautiful Ripon Cathedral with outdoor seating in the sunshine or in the shade. First class coffee/drinks and snacks served with a lovely smile and attitude from the delightful lady looking after you. An ideal relaxing experience for visitors to a lovely City…not to be missed!
All the best for the future
