✨✨Our hearts are so full after Meadows last official shift. A massive thank you to everyone who came down to show her so much love, to our wonderful regulars who know us so well and to all the who have travelled from afar to find us here in Helmsley, It was a truly beautiful evening. ✨✨

While it was Meadow's "last" shift for now, it certainly won’t be the last time she fills our Victorian walls with her voice. And you’ll see her singing with us again very soon.🙏

We’ve had such an unexpectedly busy week that we’ve had to head out to pick up extra stock this morning. Because of that, we will be opening a little later today, from 3.30pm serving beautiful Italian coffee, authentic food and drinks all the way through until late.

Your kindness, your reviews, and the way you support what we are doing here means the world to us. Whether you live just around the corner or have travelled to see us we are forever grateful.🍸✨

And with a bit of hope, fingers and toes crossed, and a stroke of luck our planning permission will come through for the garden soon. A beautiful space full of wildflowers with the beautiful river flowing in the background a truly tranquil place to sit, relax and just be amongst the sounds of nature.

One of those completely random little moments last night that turned into something really lovely ✨🙏

Our good friend Paul Garbutt popped to test out some new sound equipment and ended up playing a few songs for everyone… totally unplanned and just a beautiful atmosphere for half an hour ✨ and a lovely very talented customer even ended up joining in too which made it even more special. Days like that are always the best ones.

Pip and Dave Kemp will also be playing every Sunday 3pm–5pm at The Feathers Hotel in Helmsley, so definitely go and check them out if you get chance. Beautiful music, fabulous venue, lovely people and the perfect Sunday atmosphere

There’s something so beautifully simple about an Affogato.
A true Italian classic traditionally enjoyed as a little afternoon pick me up or after dinner treat in cafés across Italy. 🇮🇹

If you haven’t tried one yet why not come and experience ours ☕️

We make ours using rich, fresh espresso from Caffè Vergnano, poured slowly over creamy gelato for that perfect contrast of hot and cold, bitter and sweet.

Its Traditional it’s simple and it’s absolutely delicious. And if you fancy an adult twist we can also add a shot of your favourite liqueur over the top for the perfect after dinner indulgence. ☕🍨🥃

Available now alongside our full food, coffee, wine & cocktail menus served right through until late.
