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

I recently dined at Soresby Street Cafe in Chesterfield. Good food, good atmosphere, and very friendly staff. I will definitely dine at the cafe again wherever I visit Chesterfield.

I visited with my friend for coffee and catch up and we were made to feel so welcome. We decided to stay for lunch and the food was tasty and nicely presented. They made my friend’s dog so welcome with treats and fuss, a truly dog friendly place. Although they were very busy when we arrived the tables and chairs were spotless and the team made time to say hello and didn’t rush us with our order. We’ll certainly be back and I would definitely recommend this friendly cafe.

First time visiting & will most definitely be returning. Food & drinks were delicious. Wonderful service, the lady that served us was just lovely & so attentive. Nice, cosy, relaxed atmosphere and dog friendly too. Our new favourite place ☺️

Absolutely love coming to the Soresby Street Cafe. The food is tasty and the portions are generous. The atmosphere and decor is great. The staff are very kind and attentive. If you haven’t given it a try yet please do, you won’t be disappointed 😊

Our first visit and given as a recommendation from a friend who lives in the area. First impressions on arrival were positive and we loved the location and building. Interior of the gift shop, welcome and staff was excellent very friendly. We had prebooked and was able to be seated a little earlier without any issues. Browsing the menu , ordering our drinks was easy and they were well prepared and presented. My daughter loved the Hippo Milk Shake, the lattee was really good. The food 👍 The Appletree breakfast plate was really tasty all round and a good portion. The Breakfast Burrito very well presented, all round very tasty. The Breakfast Crumble - A good healthy option. Thank you to the friendly staff and management. We will be back !

We had previously been for a breakfast but went yesterday for dinner, to try out their new after hours evening menu. We arrived a little earlier than our 6pm booking, we were welcomed with big smiles and seated straight away. Menus for drinks and food came soon after. Olive the lovely young lady who served us explained the menu and how many dishes we may want to order. We ordered 3 each, the potions were generous, and came out of the kitchen when they were ready, which Olive had told us previously. WOW the food was outstanding. Fresh ingredients, presentation was absolutely amazing. Exactly how food should be. Overall a fabulous experience. Olive was superb, the ambience was amazing and the food as I said before was outstanding. We will definitely return and highly recommend.

I have visited The Apple Tree many times over the years and I have never had a bad experience, food or service. It’s ALWAYS been exceptional. They really have it down to a fine art. Last night I was lucky enough to get a table at their new After Hours evening. We loved the slower pace of the After Hours evening, the vibe is completely different to visiting in the daytime. It felt more intimate. Now onto the food..! There’s only one word to describe the dishes we consumed and that is DELICIOUS! One of the best meals we’ve had in a very long time. We went for 6 dishes as they’re designed for sharing and it was perfect. All of the dishes are cooked fresh so come out when they’re ready - a constant conveyor belt of food 😍 They all packed a punch in terms of flavour but felt light. Thank you The Apple Tree and well done for creating another event which was fantastic. A huge shoutout to JoJo and front of house staff for impeccable service. Not forgetting the incredible chefs behind the scenes 😍👌🏼

Me and my partner came here for breakfast a few weeks ago and had a lovely experience. The food and service was great, everyone was happy and smiling. We sat in the barn at the back that also had heaters in it. We will be back very soon. I also love your shop too 🙂

This is my favorite spot that I look forward to every time I come to Melbourne to stay for work. I have celiac and the cakes and pastries that are gluten free are divine! Yes these cakes are gluten free!!! 🥰 Rhianna and JK are wonderful young ladies. And today I met Ben. Thanks to all you do to “treat” your community. Wish you were in New Orleans, but I look forward to my next trip. Many blessings, Judy

I hired Tea at 3 for my baby shower, from start to finish the team there were nothing but amazing! Their commitment to making the day special was exceptional, they went above and beyond asking me about my theme and decorating the cake house to match (It was beautiful!) The afternoon tea was absolutely delicious and everyone I communicated with was friendly and helpful. I just wanted to say a massive thank you to them all for making the day so special and I’ll be telling everyone I know about your lovely cake house and all the amazing food!

Gorgeous little coffee shop. The most amazing homemade cakes. Great selection of drinks. The attention to detail make this a real gem. Friendly service and ambience. Dog friendly and lovely puppuccino.

My daughter and I recently visited Tea at Three in Melbourne, and what a small gem of a tearoom it is! The shop offers a delightful array of different cakes and pastries, with so many tempting flavours — a real treat for anyone with a sweet tooth. When we arrived, the “closed” sign had just been put up — but to our surprise, the two young ladies who run this family tea shop were incredibly hospitable and warmly invited us in anyway. Their pleasant manner and welcoming attitude made the experience stand out, and they gave us plenty of time to choose without any rush. The décor is charming and quaint, adding to the cozy, inviting atmosphere. I was so impressed that I’ve decided to book it for my daughter’s bridal shower — I can’t think of a more perfect, intimate setting for such a special occasion. Overall, a lovely little spot that’s well worth a visit if you’re in the area. We’ll definitely be back!

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

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!

Had breakfast with a friend as a catch up. The full English was so tasty and a large portion. The pork sausage was one of the best I've tasted. The only negative point of the breakfast was the scrambled egg - over done and rubbery, but the rest of the breakfast was so good. Flat white was good too. Would definitely be back again (hopefully better eggs next time)

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

Fabulous range fresh food, including gluten-free options. Breakfasts are enough to keep you going until the evening! Super friendly staff.

Loved our visit to the Farm shop and Cafe. Really nice to see local produce on sale, and really yummy products too. We had an iced caramel coffee, iced chai latte and a sticky toffee fudge cake slice. All were delicious! The cake was so moist and fresh! The drinks were really refreshing too. The decor inside is really nice, looks like a converted farm/barn. Really cute cafe :))

Best place in Hartington to get a quick drink, breakfast, lunch, sweet snack or do a little shopping. Previously only getting some products and gifts from farm shop, this time we stopped for breakfast (full English) and coffee. Mocha was really nice and served very quickly. We had t wait for breakfast but it wasn't more than 15 minutes. The breakfast was very tasty and the portion was definitely too big for me. The menu is decent, including the menu for kids, gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options. Great cake display on the counter and very good prices (next time I'll try some of the cake). The staff was friendly and helpful. The place is converted farm, with lots of space. The shop is situated in front, the cafe in the back with plenty of tables. Local artists pictures are on the walls (for sale) which gives more character, the place is clean. What's also worth mentioning is that the farm shop won some awards and they source ingredients from local farms.

Lovely, friendly café. Afternoon tea was fabulous. We had the sweet option ,will be going g back to try the Savoury one.

Popped here for breakfast after parkrun and it was very nice indeed, there 15 of us and they coped perfectly, food was excellent service happy and considering how busy they were it was great to get such good quality

I stopped here for breakfast on a bike trip. It’s a nice spot and the people are friendly. It took quite a while to have my order taken but once I did they were very pleasant. The food was really tasty - I had poached eggs and avocado. There were several cyclists outside when I arrived having coffee so obviously a local haunt.

Needed a catch up with a friend and this was the place we picked for breakfast! It's inside toons but not hard to find just enter and head left, you'll work out the rest. Ample parking outside! Easy wheelchair access also. Staff were helpful but you have to go back to the counter for everything. It got a little busy later and having to wait in the cue for another coffee and tea was a little poopy. Food was pretty good but more than I usually pay, yet I'm out of area so not sure what the prices are like around here. Toilets are nearby and kept clean. All in all I'd pop by again if I was in the area. Enjoy.

Took my dad in his wheelchair for something to eat. Plenty of space available to negotiate other tables and once moved a chair out of the way. I was able to push him right up to the table so this made things much easier for him. As the food is all cooked fresh there was an expected delay between ordering and eating, which was no longer than expected and it's well worth the wait. The food was lovely and very filling

Visited on a Saturday morning (9.45ish) at the end of October. Was surprised to see quite a few people already there, as other places are usually a little quieter at this time! Having eaten, I can fully understand why it is popular - we have found our new favourite local place for a cooked breakfast! 2 of us dined, and we opted for the Scottish breakfast and the Irish breakfast, as we've never the chance to try these ever before. We cut bits up to share, so we both got to try the Scottish bits and the Irish bits, and my goodness they were good! The Lorne sausage (Scottish) was quite dense, like a really good quality burger, the Irish sausage were delicious, the white pudding (Scottish) was creamy and peppery, the black pudding (Irish) was divine - crumbly textured, and a great flavour (supermarket black pudding has been ruined forever now!), the tattie scone (Scottish) and homemade potato cake (Irish) were amazing (and whilst in theory the same thing, had different textures and a slight difference in taste) Everything else on the plate was also high quality - lovely eggs, the thickest bacon I have ever seen, great tomatoes and really nice baked beans. Beans and chopped tomatoes served in ramekins (perfect for those who don't like the juices touching). There were mushrooms on the Irish breakfast, but I would have liked more as I love mushrooms. No mushrooms on the Scottish breakfast, which were missed. The Scottish breakfast came with some thick sliced white toast, and the Irish breakfast came with thick sliced soda bread. While the soda bread had a really nice flavour, it was a little bit dense for my tastes (first time having it, so not used to it!) The meals were £13 each, which included a hot drink. We ordered a tea and a coffee. The coffee (americano) was served in a nice sized mug. The tea was served in a pot, which didn't dribble, and I had a cup and saucer to drink it from. Plenty of milk in the jug that accompanied the drinks. The menu explains that breakfasts are cooked to order, so to allow about 20 minutes between ordering and being served. This gave us enough time to drink our drinks, and people watch. Some orders that came out looked very impressive, including the doorstop breakfast sandwiches, which were enormous! While we there, a customer in a wheel chair arrived - there was a little issue in getting the wheelchair through, but another table tucked their chairs in and the customer was able to get through. Plenty of staff serving, taking orders and cleaning up. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!!

Willow Tree Tea Room is now situated opposite Mercia Marina. It is a wonderful tea room. With ample free car parking.it has ample seating both indoors and outdoors with pleasant views of the marina. The food is excellent and nicely presented. It is reasonably priced and generous portions. Staff are friendly, helpful, and professional.

Although the willow tea room was closed due to relocation, which looks amazing by the way loved mercia Water Park had a lovely, full cooked breakfast at the canal boat cafe, beautiful day too weather hot Thursday 20th March 2025

Great place for a coffee with lovely views over Mercia Marina

First time visiting here, and we weren't disappointed, it is very popular and we wondered if we would get a seat, but luckily there were 4 tables available. Greeted nicely by the staff and got our menu's. Very nice range of food to choose from from light bites to bigger meals. We went for quiche salad and chips and eggs benedict, and a pot of tea. Very fast service and we were pleasantly surprised.see pics. Will definitely be back. The prices are very reasonable too. See pics of menu.

Quirky little cafe and shop with numerous pods within the facility. Ample car parking and a nice little walk at the rear of the car park should you feel the need. Lovely staff with great service. We entered the shop to order food and although we were slightly after the cut off time for breakfast they still made one for me. Perfect.

Went today 23rd March for brunch 6 of us. Been before. Would definitely recommend, food excellent, staff very friendly and cheerful. Was very busy we went at 11 a.m. but had booked, so we're fine.

Lovely little location, excellent breakfast & really dog friendly, which was great for us but accommodates everybody, dog or no dog 👍 Great place to call for a bite to eat or a coffee especially if you are on your way to or from East Midlands Airport, it’s only 25mins away. We took my mum for breakfast a few weeks ago before she flew home to Ireland. I am going back tomorrow with my husband & dogs for breakfast, a dog walk (as they have a 1/2 mile dog walk & exercise paddock) before they drop me off at the airport.

A neighbour told us about this litter gem! Brilliant parking with individual parking slots. Farm shop is located on the right, we went to the left under an open archway to a choice of 2 summer houses or seating in the beautiful gardens. There is a small child's play area and a dog walking trail about ½ mile in distance, for customers. We came for breakfast and sat in one of the summer houses. We chose off the menu and then ordered the food in the farm shop. The breakfast came a short while later, beautifully presented and very tasty. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming. We look forward to coming again very soon

Been meaning to call here for a while, finally made it today and wasn't disappointed. A warm, friendly welcome awaits you on entry ,we booked a table ahead, which is a wise move as it is a busy place. We opted for the Stilton,cream cheese ,walnut and mango chutney sandwich on thick granary bread, what a flavour combination, it was delicious and as far as a sandwich goes it is probably the nicest I've ever had! There is a lovely selection of cakes to choose from, we chose the Ninaimo and a white chocolate and peanut butter blondiè, these again were both delicious, all washed down with a lovely cappuccino . Service was excellent, will definitely visit again when in the area.

Took a friend there for a mid day meal. They take notice of allergies. The meals were nicely presented. Very popular with mothers and young families. We had the Eggs Benedict that was rather pleasant. When in the area it is worth a try.

Large s welcoming cafe in the middle of Breaston. Lots of good menu choices for breakfast/brunch. We had the American style pancakes which were delicious, but enormous and too large to finish! Good service and plenty of seating. Car parking at rear, but might be difficult if the car park is full. We'd like to come back and try a lighter breakfast...

SO glad I visited here today with a good friend of mine. I found it on Google maps...!!! Such delicious food , with a very good quality and taste to it. I had garlic mushrooms on sourdough toast , with a poached egg on top, and lots of lovely fresh rocket. My friend had a lovely brown sourdough with a blend of very tasty cheeses on top of it - we both loved our food...😋😋😋. The desserts and cakes are to die for, my friend had a piece of a "triple layer victoria sponge", and I had a piece of "blueberry & lemon sponge" to take away, with me... Coffees were also 👌👌👌👌👌 excellent. Staff were very helpful and friendly, too... 🥰🥰👍👍. Would definitely recommend this place for breakfast, brunch, & lunch...👍👍👍 Amazing...!! You can also reserve a table in advance, to make sure you get a seat, when it's busy....👌👌Visited again with 2 other friends today (12/9/24 - it's still as busy , and as good food as ever....👍👍👍 Gets SO very busy, it's good that you can reserve tables beforehand.
