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.

Brilliant atmospheric cycling themed cafe with great coffee and cakes. Love the fact they have a bike maintenance stand and track pump available too if you need it.

We were told by some one that it was a good place to eat To drop in to or incorporate it in a walk We really enjoyed it but slightly disappointed that we had paper plates knives and Forks plus paper cups this is the only thing that put us off.

Have visited this cafe four or five times and it always feels warm and cozy. Ideal for a light snack and a coffee. The soup and a savoury scone were delicious. Popular with walkers and cyclists and it's dog friendly which was a plus for us.

A nice cafe if cycling or walking in the area, make sure you check the opening times as it's not always open.

Great cafe for cyclist and walkers. Gets very busy though and can take a long time to be served. Lovely staff doing their best, but a bigger coffee machine would help speed things up.

One of my favourite cafes to visit! The scones are delicious and freshly made, along with the other food too. Staff are warm and welcoming, making it such a lovely place to unwind with family and friends. Interior furnishings are quirky and fun, creating such a homely atmosphere. The view from the cafe is also amazing, and is even better on a lovely day when you can sit outside with a coffee! However, I would love to see some more food options available on a daily basis as sometimes the choice can be limited. Nevertheless, an amazing spot!

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.
