    Great little find. Walk through to a bijou sun terrace. Scones to celebrate. Terrace sun trap. Or shade as you like. Try the Cherry & Marzipan Scone😍

    Lovely little cafe by the cathedral with a little conservatory and outdoor area. Clearly a popular spot! Delicious cherry and marzipan scones and friendly service - would definitely return!

    Stopped off for a cup of tea and a scone and a sausage roll. It was such a pleasant experience as the owner was so friendly and open. The scone and sausage roll were fresh and delicious. A lovely experience in the heart of beautiful Ripon.

    The garden is a hidden gem and the owner is a great guy to chat with.

    Absolutely loved our food here!! The toasties served with crisps and salad - a decent serving not 3 leaves like many places was generously served hot and tasty. It was freshly made by staff that are all sooooo nice. It’s like going to a friends to eat. If you’re on a day out or having a visit this is an absolute MUST!! This is from a person who’s very picky! We can’t wait to visit again they’re open everyday except Sunday. Thank you for making our visit so great.

    Fabulous little cafe in the back with outdoor area. Beautiful scones, we had cherry and marzipan mmmm, looks like different ones each day. Very friendly service.

    Really nice, upmarket café just near Ripon Cathedral. Beautifully scrummy homemade scones, although our coffees were slow and only arrived after we'd finished our food. Other than that it would have been 5 stars. Worth a visit.

    Sat in the garden, sheltered and sunny even in October. Nice coffee, delicious lemon and blueberry scone, friendly helpful staff

    Nice cafe with a range of home made scones and baking. Friendly helpful staff.

    Lovely little coffee shop/tea rooms close to the cathedral. Beautiful courtyard garden to rear. Great, friendly service and fantastic home-made cheese scones. Rest of the food on offer looked good - shame we were only there for an afternoon coffee break or would have tried more

    Amazing place. Great food, lovely friendly service. The homemade scones are stunning and the breakfasts are spot on. Now flagged as a favourite and whenever we're in Ripon we'll be back for more 🙂

    The best sandwich I have had in a very long time (chicken and avocado on white). Very friendly, unpretentious and welcoming. Dog friendly.

    Brilliant little cafe. First time visiting today. So accommodating to our children . Lovely surroundings we even sat outside! Had the chicken sandwich and if was soooo tasty! Highly recommend!

    We were very disappointed with ploughman's platter. There was no ham, cheese or bread. There was a severe excess of carbohydrates and a cheese scone with a ploughman's just isn't right. Unlikely to return. Also very expensive for what we had.

👍👍 Had a great afternoon at Stump Cross Caverns, I highly recommend a visit. You start by having a safety brief but also information on the cave which was well presented. You then head down grab yourself a helmet and follow your map. The map is easy to read and the caves are easy to follow. The floor...

👍👍 Lunch with the wife after a nice walk around the Market. Everything looked great, but as a diabetic had to stick with the old faithful of a plowman's...less the pie. Lovely. Pleasant surrounding attentive staff and friendly customers. Always enjoy it when we come in. Today was very busy.
