Scarthin Books - Derbyshire Dales

Best bookshop, best cafe! Everybody is lovely and you won't want to leave! The loveliest environment where you feel very comfortable and welcome. Delicious food. Soup was amazing as were the cheese scones. Coming back soon!

I have been to Scarthin Books before but this was my first time in the cafe. So delighted by the range of GF cakes I have never had so much choice! The lemon and almond cake I chose was very tasty and so filling I didn't need lunch. My pot of camomile tea was excellent too. My companion had a French press with Colombian coffee called something like Five Clouds, he said it was a bit harsh for his taste but he drank it all. He asked for a double sized portion of hot milk on the side and that seemed to be no trouble. The person who served us was kind, efficient, and smiley. I was sorry we weren't there for lunch because the menu looked really good. And the bookshop is superb!

I had a great lunch here today. Delicious roasted cauliflower, coconut and lentil Dahl soup and a cheese scone. I can also say it was the most delicious latté I've had in a very long time. Amazing food in a lovely, quirky atmosphere. Thank you

Perfect bookshop in every way! Amazing stock, carefully organised, a great cafe and space to sit and chill with a book! Must visit!!

Tried this cafe for the first time. Has a certain charm being quirky. Hubbie had ploughmans which was basically one type of cheese a chunk of bread . Quite expensive simple to make. I had a homity pie which was nicer but we won't be returning. Quite disappointing !
