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

Had a lovely catch-up with a friend we all had a lovely meal Lasagne and steak and ale pie all well presented and all was yummy... and rum and raisin ice cream, which was lovely too. The service was great, and the atmosphere was very good with back ground music 🙂🙂🙂 Three very happy customers

Great gem in Padfield. The food was amazing and the service was top notch. Attentive crew who made us feel right at home. Well worth a visit if you are in the area. I would say it's advisable to book for food as it fills up quickly. The views are also great. So if you don't want food. Make sure you pop in for a drink and without the back and take in the views

Very welcoming village local, staff were genuinely friendly, helpful and attentive. The amount of choices on the menu was very impressive (including Gluten Free options) and the food on arrival was as impressive both in quality and quantity. A couple of Real Ales were available both of which did not disappoint. If you are anywhere within striking distance you must visit you will not be disappointed with this excellent hostelry.

The Sunday roast is by far the best one around, home cooked and plenty of it. 😋

After only living in Hadfield for a year and a half, I was so happy to have found this fab coffee shop. I am always made to feel very welcome, with or without my dog. (He loves the puppocinos) Top class coffee, food and service. Thank you 😊 🐾

A group of 9 of us went in for coffee this morning. The staff were lovely, the service and food was excellent. We apologised because we were part way through a walk and our boots left a lot of mud behind. They were so nice and told us not to worry. We've been in before it was extended and completely understand the need to expand as it must be really popular.

Mango smoothie is gorgeous Hot cross bun Cappuccino superb Delicious cakes & savoury items Fantastic staff & service Very ecologically minded business.

We drop into the cafe irregularly. It's often quit busy but never failed to get a seat. Coffee is good as is the food, sandwiches, panini etc. Service has always been good and friendly Garden centre is well stocked and at good prices

The cafe here is definitely worth a visit with it's selection of cafe faves at a great price for what you get; and the quality. There's a selection of breakfast, ice-creams, cakes and hot or cold beverage with the option of dairy alternatives. The location setting is in the hills with a cracking view, it's great for walkers and even better they allow your furry friends and have a doggy menu. There's also a choice of indoor or outdoor seating. The garden centre on the other hand is meh 😕, worth a browse as there are a few good buys, but overall I found what I would've bought pretty well overpriced eg. the hanging baskets and house plants. I would have given a huge 5 stars for the cafe but I have given a 4 due to the garden centre side.

Lovely view of the cafe at the top hill. Meals are affordable. Nicely decorated cafe. Staffs are friendly and ready to give a smile. Highly recommend place whilst exploring the highland moors.

The café inside the garden centre is a local hidden gem. I went for a lunch with a friend mid-week and it exceeded my expectations. As we entered the garden centre and made our way towards the café, I noticed that the outside seating area has been upgraded and is now protected by plexiglass, which is just great for rainy days when you'd still prefer to have a hot drink or some food outside, and take a look at the beautiful hills. Inside, the café had a warm atmosphere, enhanced by a cozy fireplace, plants and paintings. There are around 8-9 tables which feels very good, however two tables in a corner feel a bit tight. The menu is extensive, and you can find pretty much everything you'd expect from a café! Breakfast items, sandwiches, hot toasties, paninis (which all come with coleslaw and a side salad), scones with jam and clotted cream, jacket potatoes, soups, milkshakes and even iced frappe(!), cakes, and even a wide variety of ice cream flavours. To top it all up, there is a beautiful mason jar of water which is complimentary, and you can even purchase Glossop honey to take home with you. The staff are lovely, they answered all my questions with a smile, and the service was roughly 15 minutes for two hot items (toastie and panini) which felt an adequate speed given that there were other customers dining too. From the café there is a direct entrance to a lovely gift shop with lots of items, and there is even a doggy items shop section too. All in all, it was a lovely experience and it makes for a great complement to the garden centre! 😀

Charmingly presented cafe/bistro in a beautiful setting by the brook. The food is all homemade by the excellent chef and local bakers - vegetarian and outstanding in quality. Tea also above average. It has limited opening hours and gets busy, and the wait to be served can be very long, those are the only drawbacks.

Relaxed, tranquil, exciting good food. Not your usual hum-drum expectations on the menu. Beautifully presented, made with love and care... and it shows. I took my gf here on a nice sunny day and we were talking about it all the way home. It's not that local to me but going back soon.

Wonderful food and service. I’m not a vegetarian. The food was so tasty with different quality ingredients and multitude of flavour that I didn’t need any meat on my plate. My son enjoyed his cheese sandwich and of course the delicious home made cakes and gingerbread men went down very well indeed! Very friendly staff. Comfortable seating and atmosphere. Will certainly return again when I visit Manor Park!

The food was excellent, (an amazing range of options for such a small operation) and prepared with real care. Excellent provision for gluten-free (cross-contamination caution). Staff and service was warm and accommodating. A wall display of superb photographs shows the stunning local scenery at its best (and are for sale). We were able to reserve tables. If we lived nearer we'd be regulars.

Stopped in to Castleton on our way back from Mam Tor, and found this lovely little spot for lunch. Great menu, very friendly and polite staff and just the perfect place to grab a quick bite to eat and a much needed refuel! Coffees were hot (none of this lukewarm, pretty foam art nonsense thankfully!) and very good beans, baguettes were huge and stuffed with filling, and the hand cut, home made chips were exceptional! Definitely give this place a try if you're heading through or staying in Castleton

Very nice cafe, friendly staffs and yummy food with reasonable price. They sell home made cakes and pastry.

We actually came with zero expectations, just because we were super tired from the trails and wanted to eat somewhere. We both got the Asian burger and it was fantastic. Absolutely exceeded our expectations and definitely would be eating here if we were in the area again!

Amazing place. Took breakfast here and was fantastic. Great food and drinks. Good stop in peak district

Cheap and tasty food with big portions! The service was amazing, all the staff were really attentive and you can tell they are passionate about what they do :) Loved the atmosphere here, it felt very cozy and homely. Would definitely come back again! Pictured are the vegetarian breakfast, chocolate milkshake and the half pound cheese burger.

One of the best and most delicious English breakfasts at an affordable price in Glossop! Truly appreciated. Great service and warm, friendly people!

This would maybe be my last dying meal on the earth. Exactly what you would expect from a caf like this. Food is greasy but absolutely delicious. Service is very friendly and staff go above and beyond. They will make you whatever you want. Not exactly a fancy aesthetic but it’s still cute and cosy in its own way! Value for money is also really great. I got an omelette with a side of chips and a sausage as well as a water and orange for under 12 pounds.

What a beautiful little place this is. The first time coming here for food and will definitely be returning. Staff and owner are so lovely and very accommodating for disabled visitors. The food was out of this world and worth every penny. Keep up the good work

We had our wedding at Windy Harbour in May 2025 and it was absolutely PERFECT. Lee and his staff were amazing, from the planning, booking and throughout the entire day. The venue looked beautiful, the outside space was perfect for people to hang around, take photos and admire the lovely views. Thank you so much Lee for making our special day the best day ever!

Excellent stay,comfortable rooms,staff attentive. Good food and service will be back soon fabulous views

Good coffee, friendly staff, and actually in the station so handy for leaving it to the last minute to go for the train. I've not rated the food (so that's a "don't know" not a "horrible") as I only ever order tea or coffee, but the free bikkies are welcome

The coffee is actually really good, and they have a reasonable selection of enjoyable food to cover more than one dietary requirement. They have a really big selection of vegan cakes, and gultan free biscuits. The latte art done by the staff is wonderful. And the staff are always absolutely lovely and happy to help if you need it. They also have super food lattes that are absolutely wonderful.

Located in station a lovely spot and Plenty of vegan options , I got the Sandwich and some Baked goods to Takeaway along with a porridge pot that I’ve always wanted to try and never seen in store before as a Handy grab and go while staying in a cottage near by Friendly service and hidden gem in Glossop A must visit coffee shop

Fantastic coffee and selection of foods! Tried the 'Golden latte' which was peculiar to taste at first but otherwise very lovely, hearty and warming. Also had a filled ciabatta which was beautiful warmed up. Good value for what you get. Friendly atomsphere and speedy service. This is room to sit in but it does get full quite fast! No toilet on site but one in the station just up from the shop. Will definitely visit again!

One of Glossop’s best places for a meal, breakfast or even just a brew. The breakfast is always served fresh and hot , definitely recommend.

Amazing Gluten free breakfast. And the rest of the menu. Probably best gluten free place I’ve been. All the staff are great but Lucy was especially helpful! Thank you!

Large dog friendly restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Very popular and busy on Sunday afternoon when we visited. The menu is very large with various cuisines served. We went for the tapas and the flatbread. Both were nice. As expected the tapas portions are small (as is the portion of fries). Several beers on tap. I also had a delicious freshly squeezed orange juice. Self ordering at the table with a QR code. Staff were pleasant.
