Great quirky cafe. Staff so friendly. Indoor/outdoor eating with car park at rear. Considering this is an ideal cafe for cyclists and walkers and dogs are welcome, the place is immaculate. The scones are delicious and the cakes look lush. Good old Yorkshire Tea, herbal teas and variants of coffee. Soup was also available. Also sell fresh local organic eggs, milk, honey, ice cream and snacks.
We went on a Tuesday lunchtime, plenty of staff to cater for customers orders, good to see this and hence no long queues.
Highly recommend this cafe if you just want soup or cake and coffee/tea. Also a jar of free doggy treats is available so that your pooch isn't left out.
I wonder whether they are limited to what they can sell food wise as there is a pub up the road that does sandwiches and cooked food, and although good, I found to be a bit pricey.
Shall be back soon. Thanks for making our visit a pleasurable one!
Visited here today. Lovely vegan food. Lovely people. Lovely place. Highly recommend.
John runs a great cafe; pit stop for bikers & clearly has a passion for people & biking.
A well needed drink after a hot day in the saddle. He even has an original Jack Taylor hung on the wall.
Fantastic cafe for cyclists and non cyclists. Hidden gem. Run by a cyclist so understands our needs. Bike hire available. Great place for walkers. Dog friendly. Best coffee in the area. The spicy Tomato soup with a cheese scone is to die for and I normally hate tomato soup. Does some unusual beverages and snacks not available elsewhere.
Fantastic cafe, feels in the middle of nowhere, but actually very close to A19
A very green cafe with a cyclist theme.
Amazing coffee and sausage rolls to die for, lovely staff, all furniture is up cycled.
Lots of outside seating, a real gem
Great tea cake, good coffee. But busy so took a little while but worth it

Very popular cycling stop.
Coffee excellent, home cooked cakes and snacks looked lovely too though didn't indulge this time
There's no car parking (bring a bike!!) and it gets busy quickly!
Always a wonderful experience! A lovely cosy cafe with delicious coffee and the toasted scones are a must! The staff are friendly and very welcoming.
Little gem of a spot in Swainby - warm welcome, decent coffee and a few savoury and sweet vegan options with a couple of plant milks. Prices reasonable too. Great place for me to stop at when out on my motorcycle. Will be back. Thank you x
A perfect rest point for any cyclist in the North Yorkshire Moors. Great coffee and traybakes which are very good value. There's a safe space for bikes and pumps etc should you need them. The young staff are very professional and friendly. I suspect I'll be back many many times.

Drove over for breakfast, but not really many hot options for vegetarians, just beans on toast really. Couple of items on the lunch time seem better options. Didn't mind the paper and cardboard cartons etc, but my hot chocolate was a bit too lively to work that well in the cardboard cup. Homemade cakes are good, can recommend the coffee and walnut cake, decent sized slab. (Biker sized, heh heh) Toasted teacake was OK. Pleasant enough, but a queue soon forms as it's popular here, and the service can be a bit slow. Has outdoor seating at the front, oh and it's dog friendly too. Quirky decor inside with reclaimed wood, hessian furnishings and a woodburner, cycles and whey hey a lhaverlee lil bikie, a 1936 Ariel no less. I smirked at the comment on a review that said this place is popular with "cyclists and motor bikers but don't let that put you off because they were well mannered." We bikers aren't all rufty tufty mafiosa sons of anarchy you know, strange how folk pigeonhole bikers, they're the loveliest, most genial folk I know, bikers. Books... covers...judging, but that's the 'human condition', I guess. Also sells some gorgeous cards by textile designer, Jane Kitching, whose exuberant works adorn the walls too. Yes, I would revisit, it has it's own charm for sure and I like a bit of quirk and homemade always gets a vote from me.
Really great place, extremely friendly and helpful staff. Lovely atmosphere.
