Old School Coffee Stop & Village Store

My friends and family recently had a post funeral gathering here. The whole experience was welcoming, professional and friendly. The food was delicious and catered for special diets with ease. We took some decorations which we were able to set up prior to the event and the playlist of our music went over the café WiFi. I can't thank them enough for making a sad day very much more memorable and happy.

Went for afternoon tea. It was probably the best afternoon tea I've ever had. Arrived and they had our afternoon tea ready on out on our table. A little cup of warm soup was already on our plate which was homemade and delicious, then a cake stand with sandwiches - and proper sandwich size too (egg mayo, coronation chicken, cheese & pickle and ham salad) and cakes (cookie pie, lemon drizzle & rocky road) and two enormous fruit scones with jam and cream. There was also a warm sausage roll and half a pork pie served with a little pot of Branston pickle and a bowl of lovely crisps. In addition to this, was a cute bottle of strawberry milkshake and we we also had 2 x large pots of tea (coffee available too). The people running the cafe were lovely and very attentive. It cost £16.50 each which I thought was unbelievable value for money. My 16 year old daughter loved it and she's a harsh critic! Definitely avoid the crowds in York City centre and get yourselves to Rufforth for this little gem!

Lovely friendly village shop and coffee shop which is an asset to the village. Long may it last. Dawn, Michelle and the rest of the team are so friendly and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. The afternoon teas are amazing and they cater for small groups too. It's lovely just to pop in for a latte and a chat and stock up on greetings cards, posh jams and local honey. I would also recommend the homemade soups, the sausage rolls and the cakes 😋 Dogs are welcome too. Don't forget to buy a village tea towel souvenir on your way out 🙂
