Massarella's Cafe Bar & Fine Art

We came today from Derbyshire to visits Salts Mill. Don’t bother with the restaurant at the mill. This cafe is just across the road from the entrance and is well worth the visit. The soup was fantastic and the staff instantly made us feel at home . They even gave us the recipe for the sweet potato and split bean soup. Lovely atmosphere and nice art work on the walls. The prices are great too .. highly recommended.

This cafe appealed to us because it was dog friendly and we love a good homemade cake. We were so pleased to find that the welcoming Ellen (the owner and baker) and her wonderful team are not just dog friendly, but truly love dogs and offered to hold our little puppy while we ate out cake - which was a delicious and very lemony drizzle cake for me, the house speciality. The art is a great addition and showcases local, affordable art. You can get an original piece for as little as £80. Go for the experience, stay for the cake and conversation.

This is a great little place! We came here based on the recommendation of a friend, and we weren't disappointed. The offerings are varied enough that there's something for everyone. I had one of the panini, and it was quite tasty--just the right amount of crispy on the outside without being dried out. We got a piece of carrot cake for dessert, and it was one of the best slices I've had anywhere. Very moist with a delightful mixture of spices. We will return!
