The Bay Tree Cafe and Bistro in Richmondshire

Lemon curd scone! The best!

Such a lovely homely cafe! Brilliant coffee, food was delicious and home made. Value for money was excellent, and to top it all, dog welcoming! Best cafe I've visited in a long while

Really tasty quiche, super friendly staff, happy customers, result

Lovely homemade food at reasonable prices. Yum!

Stopped off on our way up north, asked for sausage and egg with cheese, was sternly told by waitress "that we can only have what's listed on the menu" ... hmmm ok, that's the rules apparently ... not allowed any cheese !!! Not like we asked for caviar ..

Lovely little place with excellent coffee and cakes. Very impressed with the young waitress who had infinite patience and empathy with a customer that needed assistance cutting up her sandwich, managing her teapot and offering her smaller portions when asked about cake.Fantastic service 😄

We called in for a cup of tea and a piece of cake. The cake was homemade. It was very homely and well worth another visit. Good place on the high street.

Not the greatest dining experience we've ever had, stopped off on the way to the lakes and wished we hadn't. Tables were dirty and the whole place felt a bit sad - we'd intended to have lunch but it rather killed our appetites so settled for coffee and a piece of cake as a quick and safe option. This was the second place we'd looked at in Hawes and despite my comments was actually the better of the two. They seemed to be doing good trade anyway and obviously had support of some regular locals so hopefully we were just unlucky but we won't be going back to find out.

Food was ok, pleased with their gluten free bread alternative. However, after an already lengthy wait, our order was given to another table by mistake. A couple then came in & were seated, along with being handed menus, only to be told 15 minutes later when they tried to order, that they were no longer serving food. The family on the table across from us waited so long for one meal they told the staff to leave it. Finally, a couple sat behind us when asked if they could pay were told they weren't taking card payments.

Sorry, just not quite my cup of tea. A little bit cramped with the whiff of (pongy soup) food smells when I first walked in (would have loved a bit more air ventilation to clear this). The soup was (not quite to my taste). On the plus side: lovely victoria sponge, a generous pot of tea for two and a nice window display (of woolie hats) that drew me into the café in the first place.
