What a lovely find...the coffee was great, forgot to ask what they used, the carrot cake awesome and the young lady who served us was so polite and friendly. Will certainly be back when next that way.

Absolutely fantastic, Dawn served us and we had a wonderful time. Afternoon Tea portions were big and fresh, so much that we had to take away some. Will definitely return again and again ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I ate here with my wife on a quiet Wednesday morning. The interior was charming, with a vintage feel and we were welcomed with smiles. I had a very tasty fry up and my wife had a freshly made on-site cheese scone which she said was delicious. We very much enjoyed our visit.

Called for a light lunch this week as haven't been in for a while. Staff were polite friendly and organised. The food was lovely and presented beautifully. The cakes and scones were fabulous. Would definitely recommend and will be reliving the lovely experience soon. Thank you and well done......

First time in Retford today and I stumbled upon this busy little tearoom. Fantastic experience from start to finish! I visited with my 8 week old in a pram and they couldn't do enough to help me, from pulling out the chair to clearing space to allow me use of the toilets. The latte was lovely and the panini was delicious! Great menu choice executed perfectly! At least one new server learning the ropes but I was served quickly to say how busy it was! Thank you for a great, hassle-free service!

I was very lucky to have a surprise afternoon tea at home for my birthday, just before christmas. Really lovely - highly recommended. Plenty to eat (in fact there was enough for a mini repeat the next day), adapted to our preferences. The vintage crockery, cutlery and table cloth was a lovely touch and made it feel very special. Delivered and collected safely and on time.

Visited this cafe. It did not come up on my Google list of places to comment on. But determined to search it out so that I could do so, The place for us was a real gem and I don't recognise the comments offering only one star. Linen napkins delivered onto your lap with a flourish. Prompt service with well cooked and well presented food. Clean facilities with real individual towels. Try this place if you will. I don't think you will be disappointed!

Awesome food, prepared with care and attention, but quickly delivered to a hungry group of cyclists. Can’t fault it! We will return!
