“ Very friendly staff serving beautiful toasted tea cakes Most importantly Dog friendly ”
“ Great place for a hot or cold drink and a bite to eat. The service is quick and friendly and you can sit either in the cafe or on a good day, outside under the canopies. The choice of hot drinks is varied but we haven't tried the food yet but it smelt delicious on our last visit. Situated by the Cromford canal it can be an idealic place to sit and watch the ducks and other wildlife. ”
“ Such a nice place with great food (even outside in the rain). Our light lunch included a Bbq ciabatta and a pulled pork flatbread which were really good! The little side salad included a truely great coleslaw that I commended the chef for. So creamy! A really good value lunch. ”
“ We nipped into the cafe after a long walk down the canal and we are very pleased we did. The food was really nice, the best salad, coleslaw and panini I'd had in a long while. To top it all off we managed to sit in the 2 comfy armchairs upstairs with a view down the canal ”
“ Idyllic cafe at the end of the Cromford canal. Nice tea and coffee choices plus the usual sandwiches and breakfast. Sells duck food and prepacked kids picnics. ”
“ Nice area with a good car park, toilets and an eatery. You can then walk along the Cromford Canal. ”
“ Lovely place to stop , nice food and drink , parking on site at a cost or walk or bike there ”
“ We've not been to Cromford for many years and it was nice to see this place open when we took our walk. We were originally planning to get some fish and chips in Cromford or Matlock but thought we'd have a breakfast for a change, although it doesn't look massive it as more than I could eat - some very nice sausages, much better quality than many, the usual accompaniments of hash browns, fried egg etc. all washed down with a nice Latte (plus a dog sausage for our dog). Definitely made a highlight to our walk and we've already said we'll come back and do the same again. A great place to visit, super service and a lovely breakfast. ”
