4/ 5

Fantastic kid-friendly cafe in a great location. The only downside is that they use disposable coffee cups even when you're drinking in, which is a bit inexcusable these days.

What a great little find. We found this place after a brisk stroll in the park and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Friendly service, great atmosphere, yummy coffee and the best bit was that we had to wait 10 minutes for the scones to finish baking! Delicious!

A lovely cafe but not a place to relax and read (as the name suggests). The place is full of children at this very moment, so reading is virtually impossible. It would be good to have a quite room to relax in peace.

Little cafe; Small selection of food but very nice. Cakes and goodies for sale too! Nice coffee and caters well for children. Staff are generally friendly and it's accessible via the long ramp access. There are library books to browse, outside seats and a toilet. It can get quite busy - Friends of Rowntrees Park get a discount in the cafe too!
