The Best Cafes in Eyam, Derbyshire, United Kingdom (2025)

This is a wonderful, authentic village tea room. All home baked and delicious. We spoke to the owner who explained the history of the cottage and the 1600's barn that she has preserved and now serves as the indoor area of the tea room (there is an outdoor area too should the weather oblige!) The tea room is only open on Sundays and Mondays (currently) so if you are in Eyam - do yourself a favour and enjoy one of the best tea rooms anywhere!

Romantic vintage-style little tea room with indoor and outdoor seating, tucked away on the edge of Eyam. Cakes are homemade, fresh and tasty, tea and coffee good quality and generous portions. The owner is lovely, an interesting person to speak to and goes the extra mile where service is concerned. Can recommend highly. Savoury food and Sunday dinners also on offer.

Must visit in Eyam! Although we’ve arrived 5 minutes before closure (open on Sundays 11am-5pm) the lovely host made us tea and served us her delicious, with love home baked scones. The tea was served with cute cups and cutlery. We sat in the beautiful outside area with flowers blooming. We have been invited to roam around in the private garden and look at all the flowers. Due to network problems, the card machine didn’t work but the friendly lady offered us to transfer the money once we would have reception again - this is pure kindness and trust in people which is rare to find these days. The visit at the tea house was the highlight of the day and we would recommend it to everyone! Dog friendly.

A lovely cosy place to visit with a roaring fire and plenty of outdoor seating which would be perfect in the summer. Ordered the chocolate fudge cake (huge slice!) and warm scone with jam and cream which was needed after a long day’s walking.
