Café popolari a Gildersome

This is just a lovely little place. We always ask to sit in the front room overlooking the busy street. We eat, drink and watch people pass by in a very relaxing atmosphere. The manager and his staff are very attentive and polite.

Once again we had a lovely experience for my Mum’s birthday. The place is stunning and is one of the nicest afternoon tea locations around the area. We have been several times now and the decor and the atmosphere is always lovely and it feels very luxurious as a dining experience. The food is always well presented and the sweet treats are very delicious. My only gripe (and it’s the only reason for the 4 stars on food) is that the choice of sandwiches is a little lack-lustre. There are 2 ham, 2 tuna, then 2 egg and 2 cheese and onion. Neither mum or I liked the egg or cheese and onion, leaving only 4 finger sandwiches between us. It would be nice to have more of a meat selection or just not so many “wet” sandwiches (both the egg and cheese and onion were mixed with mayo or some kind of creamy accompaniment which made the sandwiches very similar and a little sickly). The clotted cream also tasted more like butter than cream too this time. We were able to get as much tea as we wanted and the amount of food for the desserts was excellent - we both took home a box each as we couldn’t eat it all. Can’t wait for next time!

Excellent brunch, would definitely recommend the pancakes & eggs royale!

Our first visit to this lovely bistro/coffee shop. Found it very welcoming and thoughtly enjoyed our visit. The menu is interesting different from the norm and the food was excellent. We will definitely return in future.

My 4th visit to this establishment, we love it . The staff had to put up with one of our guest that was a little drunk but happy. The staff were very professional, the food was on point , I had the mixed grill this time and I wasn't disappointed. We'll back again
