An absolute gem of a spot to eat and drink. A various menu that is easy to satisfy everyone, and at extremely reasonable prices. The service is lovely, the tea room is big, spacious and warm. The homemade pie and paninis are particularly lovely. Definitely recommend.

We stopped off at Dales Centre just for coffee. When we saw the menu, I decided to try the steak pie, (my son had mince pie), both with mushy peas. Both were absolutely delicious. Highly recommended

Brilliant coffee shop and so helpful. Don't use the time shown on Google as they actually close at 4pm. We got there just after 4 after travelling from Washington so officially closed but the girls were great and served us and we sat outside in the courtyard in the shade which was perfect on the hot sunny day. Thank you so much.
