Unwelcoming staff and no vegan cakes

Came here after seeing signs for vegan options and the happy cow logo in the window but the staff were instantly unwelcoming saying there was no tables (there were two outside) and that we couldn’t use the toilet because we weren’t customers (we wanted to be). We pointed out the empty tables and then asked about vegan cakes because we saw a sign in the window but they informed us they had none. Could only see two options for wraps on the main menu. Went a couple of doors down to the Bakewell Tart shop who had more options and much friendlier staff. Probably have a better experience if you’re after an afternoon tea which is preordered but not for walk ins

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review and we are so sorry that we weren't able to offer you a table. Unfortunately we do offer a limited selection of vegan cakes and this does change on a regular basis. If you felt unwelcome at any point we are truly sorry 😞

Lovely Afternoon Tea

Booked to go here this lunchtime for Afternoon Tea. Wasn't disappointed. Three different types of wraps, a nice selection of cakes, and fresh warm scones with jam and cream. Sooooo much food we had to get a doggy bag (am I allowed to call it that as a vegan?). Only feedback I'd give having seen another couple with sandwiches instead of wraps, maybe offer a selection of both.

Will definitely visit again.

Lovely lunch

Stopped by for lunch, there are 2 vegan lunch options and a vegan afternoon tea which sadly has to be pre ordered (it doesn’t state this on the menu)
Food was lovely and great service.
Dog friendly in the outside seating after.
Toilet is located upstairs

Pros: Lovely food, Great service

Cons: Limited vegan options , Afternoon tea has to be pre ordered

Highly recommended- A Really Lovely Place

We enjoyed our Falafal and houmous wraps, followed by Bakewell Tart. The little side salad was colourful and had a dressing. Waitress service was good. Whilst the menu was very limited, the quality was very good and prices fair. I would highly recommend this place to others and hope to come back for the afternoon tea one day!

Pros: Food tasted great, Dogs allowed in courtyard, Prices reasonable

Cons: Limited vegan menu, No dogs allowed inside

Vegan Bakewell Tart!!

Lovely little coffee shop. Nice staff. Very busy - I’d book next time we visit Bakewell. Had the vegan wraps and a slice of vegan Bakewell Tart with warm custard. After all, when in Rome… I mean Bakewell.

Updated from previous review on 2022-09-10

Pros: Vegan options, Friendly staff, Good atmosphere

Cons: Can get really busy

Wonderful tea and cake stop

Loved this little cafe and they make the best vegan Bakewell tart. They also sell the pre made one which is nice.

Nice staff but not great for vegans

Only 2 wraps on the menu for vegans both didn’t seem great. Nothing else.

I’ve read reviews that the Vegan afternoon tea is good but you have to book that and it was out of my budget anyway. So I turned up for lunch expecting there to be something…

Ended up settling for cake and coffee…. (screaming hot milk with an espresso poured in hurt my poor little barista heart but I couldn’t say anything because the man who made it was so lovely)

Vegan Bakewell tart was amazing… but later found out that the cakes are made by Peak Feast in Youlgreave so I feel like we could’ve just gone there instead.

Staff confused momentarily between vegan and gluten free…. Classic gaff.

Wish they would go vegetarian and make half the menu vegan. Would be a lovely cafe.

Pros: Lovely staff , Nice coffee , Nice cafe location and decor

Cons: Limited vegan options

Proper Bakewell tart

Visited today on recommendation. Purchased takeaway vegan gluten free Bakewell tart. Excellent and just how I remember it from my pre vegan days. Sadly not able sit in as they are not dog friendly and could only offer outside seating in the pouring rain

Pros: Vegan GF Bakewell tart

Cons: Not dog friendly

Thank you for visiting us and for leaving us a review 😊 It's such a shame the weather was so awful and you were unable to enjoy your Bakewell tart at one of our dog friendly tables outside in our beautiful courtyard.

Poor value. Avoid.

Went here on Saturday.
Very weak pot of loose tea for two.
Small, nothing vegan wraps with crisps and lettuce. This place was really poor. Never again.
Cost me 16 pounds.

Updated from previous review on 2021-10-25

Cons: Expensive. , Wraps small. Poor choices, eg cheeze or hummus. , Sat in cold outside due to cafe being busy.

We are really sorry you were so disappointed with your visit. We get so much positive feedback on our vegan range, so it was quite a shock to read your review. It's such a shame you didn’t feel able to speak to us on the day. This would have given us an opportunity to discuss your issues and allow us to try and put things right for you.

Wonderful!

We booked for the vegan afternoon tea and it was absolutely amazing! Everything on there was delicious. I thought the wraps were a great touch and all of the desserts were so good (I’ve really missed Bakewell tarts!). You get so much food on the afternoon tea, we had to take quite a bit home with us. The tea room itself is very cute and the staff were lovely, the person who served us was really keen for our feedback. I would have given them 5 stars if Happy Cow allowed 5 star ratings on places that weren’t solely vegan.

Amazing Afternoon Tea

Such a treat to find a vegan afternoon tea and it didn’t disappoint. The serving was very generous with plenty of left overs to take home. It was delicious with great service. Can’t recommend enough.

Amazing afternoon tea.

Would have given this tea room 5* but happy cow only allows 4 for places that are not fully veg/vegan.
I went here after a few days hiking in the peaks as a group of four (two vegans and two veggie) to have afternoon tea. Both the veggie and vegan options were incredible. Sometimes with this type of thing, places will just remove items that aren't suitable but absolutely everything was substituted and real thought had been put into the options.
The atmosphere and the staff was brilliant. The staff gave us takeaway boxes to put the left over cake in

Pros: big portions, excellent price, great food
