The Best Cafes in Derbyshire, United Kingdom (2025)

We have often seen Masons but never ventured in until 3 weeks ago, how we wished we had done this sooner. We have now been for Saturday breakfast for the last 3 weeks. The staff are lovely, the food is great and it is a lovely place to be. They seem to love dogs and go out of the way to make a fuss of ours. Highly recommend to anyone.

What delightful place! Had a decadent hot chocolate made with actual chocolate flakes in hot milk, mini marshmallows and cream. The baked potato was divine, as was my fiancées chicken and brie panini !

Staff are friendly . Food is amazing café was clean and modern. It's a really nice place to watch the world go by . Thank you !! :)

Such a lovely little café. I go here every now and then with my grandma, each time I'm blown away by the quality and quantity of items for the price you pay. everything is well priced and well portions, well worth the visit.

Always friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. Today I took my dog along for the first time and the staff came across with a fresh bowl of water and a treat for him. It was so welcoming; little things like that make such a difference! The food was great too as always.

Great service and excellent food/drinks. I visited Host for the first time today with my partner who had been a few times and always said how good it is. I can honestly say the establishment has a unique vibe about it, all the staff are friendly and make you so welcome. The drinks are the best coffee I’ve had in a long time and the prices are very reasonable. My partner had bacon Brie and cranberry ciabatta while I had jalapeño and four cheese, both outstanding quality. I would highly recommend to anyone going, the caramel cappuccino is well worth the money.

Host is absolutely my go to place for catching up with friends and afternoon dates with my Husband! The food is phenomenal, freshly made, delicious and beautifully presented. The staff are the best I've ever encountered, every single one of them... it feels like their welcoming you into their home and you're an old friend! I would always recommend Host to anyone it's one of my favourite places ! Thankyou !

Very small cafe but a really pleasant atmosphere. Had the pancakes, which were lovely and fresh and had a sweet buttermilk flavour. Coffee was a bit burnt but the fresh orange juice was delicious. Liked the bright and airy decor. Staff were very friendly.

I've never really stopped in hasland before but I came across this lovely cafe friendly and welcoming staff beautiful cheese cake and white hot chocolate very tasty but the thing that I loved was the collection of quirky spoons that came with the food and drink

Very pleasant, helpful staff despite it being an extremely busy lunchtime. Staff were all very helpful, patient and welcoming. As expected, there was no room indoors (need to book this well in advance), so we chanced upon sitting in the barn, but when we arrived, all 6 tables were full. Sat outside, cold wind despite the lovely sunshine and soon became chilled. Eventually we took our coffees into the barn once there was space; it felt fresh next to the large, open gates, but an improvement from outdoors. Good food selection and I ordered the all-day breakfast, my husband their quiche. Breakfast duly arrived but sausage, bacon and gash brown had clearly been kept warm for some time and were rather dry and spoilt. Poached eggs were only just warm, but tasty as were the lovely mushrooms. The baked beans were the only hot item on my plate. Lovely peashoots with two fresh cherry tomatoes of which two were warmish and grilled. Husband's individual quiche was warm and very tasty, served with a good potion of delicious mixed salad, consisting of baby leaves. Pea shoots, fresh raspberries, cranberries and blueberries too! We finished with a tasty piece of home-baked style layer cake each and the most amazing mug of hot chocolate. Presentation throughout was delightful.

Amazing as always! We had the three course breakfast which was super special and delicious. Shout out to Bridie, her second shift and she was smashing it! An absolute natural :-)

I received a voucher for the prosecco breakfast and not sure why it took me so long to use it! I checked the menu ahead of time and saw how generous this particular menu choice was. We booked it at lunch time to account for this and still took the final course 'to-go'. Plenty of delicious food and choices. The atmosphere is just right and we were tucked away nicely at the back. The gentleman who served us throughout the meal was attentive and friendly. Lovely place, great food, and superb staff.

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 !

Had a great first visit. We had a full English breakfast. Food was freshly made and hot. I'm sure we will return.

We had a buffet delivered to our house for 10 people and that included vegetarians too. The food was delivered on time and beautifully presented and everything was absolutely delicious. We received fabulous compliments on the food and it made the occasion even more special.

Lovely breakfast this morning. Just the right amount of everything and tasted great. HP sauce on the table is always a good sign. Latte was beautiful 👌 All in all nice atmosphere, lovely staff and great food 😍

We love visiting and took Mum and Dad today. The food is always delicious. Just wish we had room for a dessert as all homemade and look yummy. Lovely ladies and so much choice. Would definitely recommend a visit.

We ate here tonight, when they say “proper pie” that’s exactly what they mean. The food was delicious, the pie (pastry top and bottom) was jam packed full of meat. The slice of pie was huge. The landlord and his team were on the ball and chatty, funny and honest. Defo worth a visit.

Landlord and landlady were very accommodating. We met up as a family for lunch and to discuss our dad's final business after his passing last year. The landladies father joined us for a while and he chatted non stop about his younger days in Gorton. Lovely bloke.

Highly recommended - had my dad’s 80th here on Xmas Eve. The place has huge amounts of character, fostering a warm and eclectic vibe that I loved. The food was wonderful, the Christmas pie was to die for, and the range of local ciders were much appreciated. Huge thanks to the team for handling such a large group on Xmas Eve.

Anyone who makes pies while reciting poetry by the bard Cooper-Clarke gets a thumbs up from me. Communication was amazing booking the table. Service was ace. Food was superb. We sadly couldn’t stay for the band, but will be back the next time we come to the Peak District. Loved it.

Enjoyed a delicious latte on the porch area in a peaceful park with local people going about their day, taking in the sites. I didn't have food but the cakes looked amazing! Friendly staff plenty of food options.

Myself and my partner regularly come to the cafe in the park lovly atmosphere every time friendly caring staff and delious full English breakfast. Along with there wide range of main meals we have tried. there lasagna being one of my favourites and not forgetting the amazing cakes. Great prices highly recommended

Had tea and cake here recently. As usual, the service was friendly, and the food and drink were excellent. I have visited many times and would highly recommend it. Called in again in August and had this lovely coffee and pecan cake. Added some Valentine cake photos for February 2024. 13th October 2024 had tea and apple pie delicious! November 2024 and the café is decorated for Christmas, seasonal cakes await, and 'spicy parsnip soup'. The staff are as friendly as ever, a warm atmosphere awaits....

Good cooked breakfast, friendly staff, excellent parking, great location.

A great little café on the via giella road just up from cromford, set on a large car/bike park. The food is good and the drinks are very reasonable, staff are friendly the cost is very surprising to say it's only a short distance from Matlock bath. Set by a stream in a picturesque wood it's a great stop with friendly bikers, cyclists and car drivers, that are more than happy to make you feel welcome 👍

The cafe was reopened under new management in December and personally the food is even better the cabin as been revamped and I would definity give it 100% please give this little gem a try let's keep them in business

Great little stop for a brew and butty , friendly staff and usually other bikers to have a chat too

Solid, customisable hearty breakfast with a warm welcome! I've known this corner of my home town for almost 6 decades but decided to go for breakfast at Copper Cogs for the first time today. Decor-wise the place does its best to create a themed experience in what used to be many years before, a furniture store and estate agents. The staff are all friendly welcoming and helpful. Speed of service is relaxed, but if you go in with a mind for taking your time, you won't be disappointed. Regarding the food - absolutely solid - ordered the full English swapping beans out for mushrooms and toast for tomatoes to avoid all the carbs and felt that if I wanted, i could make any additional mods had I desired. The place, for a late Tuesday morning in Long Eaton, was nicely busy and had a warm, friendly energy to it. Have resolved to return again after such a great little meal. Nice one!

Service and design were lovely! I had gingerbread latte which was okay, but bit too strong and sweet, and avocado 🥑 toast, which also was okay, but would love bit more avocado on it. My friend had salmon bagel 🥯 and said it was okay. We were not very impressed with the food but are willing to go again as we want to try other menu items that looked interesting!

Went with my partner on Monday for our monthly date together, notified staff in the booking they my girlfriend is hard of hearing and would prefer a quiet corner and we couldnt be more grateful they put is in a very nice corner where my girlfriend could hear me without discomfort the staff where so friendly and kind. The food was excellent gotta say best burger I’ve had ins while and the starters are so good especially the cocktails! Would recommend and definitely coming back again!

We have come here a few times over the past couple of years and always had an excellent experience. The chilli jam on both the burger and pizza was a new one for me, and I'd recommend it. Every time the staff have been excellent and always pleasant and friendly.

Has a fabulous "Autumn Afternoon Tea" here with my Mum and sister one Sunday afternoon. What a lovely place - nothing was too much trouble. We let them know one of us is a wheelchair user and they booked us an easy table with this in mind. The afternoon tea was superb - everything very well put together and some of the more delicate flavours (for example the mixed berry compote with the scone) kept the taste very interesting all the way through. We'll absolutely 100% be back in the not too distant future.

Loved this place, staff are so kind and welcoming. We booked a table for 2 and a baby with pram which was made available for us and the orders were taken with drinks arriving fast and then breakfast orders taken and the food arrived shortly after a generous portion that had a whole lot of flavour.

Walked Chatsworth Thursday and to Edensor cafe for breakfast. Friendly, staff, food very good and service with a smile. Been many times and will certainly be going again.

Visited late on a Sunday afternoon and the cafe was packed so we sat in their front courtyard. The scone was yummy albeit it burnt on the bottom. Service was understandably slow. Still would return but plan ahead and get a table inside.
