I've tried dozens of little tea rooms over the years, but this one is one of the absolute best I've…read moreever been to. The decor is fantastic, relaxing, and quaint, but more importantly, the food is superb. Everything we tried, from the milkshakes to the desserts, were absolutely finger-licking good. The quality was simply superb. This place is worth going out of one's way to visit. If you're looking for a fantastic lunch, it's where it's at. One note, the place tends to be busy, so it can be a bit of a wait for the food or for the staff, but the food is worth the wait.

Stumbled across this place completely by accident! Mrs G and I decided to take a nice drive through…read morethe beautiful Peak District on a gorgeous sunny December day. First stop was Matlock - cute little village, powerful river flowing though town, nice views all around. We wanted to have lunch but hadn't really seen anything and so we decided to head to Bakewell (about 20 minutes drive) when I noticed a classy, inviting, purple sign by the road "The Orangery". We quickly turned around and are so glad that we did! We had a really GREAT lunch and have already booked again for Christmas Eve when our daughter and new husband visit. It may sound odd but it used to be part of a very prestigious school for over a century - the most famous "Old Girl" was Richmal Crompton who wrote all the "William" books that I devoured as a kid. Now the whole complex is basically a old peoples home (Man are they lucky!!). So the lunchgoers were, on average, grey haired (but I am going that way too) - but it was fairly quiet in terms of lunchgoers and music (just the right volume - Christmas songs, Wham and many many more of the favorites. The restaurant drips class, the bistro also (full bar). A wide selection of offerings _ I seriously wanted the prawn curry but got lured into a Christmas special. Wonderful staff, great food, excellent service - and beautiful nooks for a quiet or romantic lunch. Try it you'll like it! Two big thumbs up Review #108 2019

We may have made the mistake of going shopping after Christmas. Not Boxing Day, but still a…read moremistake. I blame Mr. Snarky as he didn't do shopping for my birthday gift when he did Christmas shopping. When we first came into the mall, we stopped to talk about where and when to meet up and I noticed Coffika... a new cafe where there used to be a Costa. After doing some shopping, we met up, but Mr. Snarky said that there were queues of traffic and suggested we stop at one of the cafes and wait a bit when traffic might ease up. I suggested we try Coffika, especially as this was right next to the exit we had parked near. They have some lovely sandwiches, unique cold drinks (Root Beer and Cream Soda), and obviously some very nice looking cakes :). I decided to have tea and noticed that they had cakes resembling Lamingtons... which I only knew about because Work BFF (remember her?!) had told me about them. So I decided to try the Sour Cherry and Pistachio one... although they had called it something else... scrummington maybe? Anyway, Mr. Snarky decided on a slice of the Victoria Sandwich. There are some tables and chairs downstairs, or you could retreat to the quiet and calm of upstairs... not many people know it is there. Upstairs there are sofas and coffee tables. I didn't try the Victoria Sandwich, but the lamington was really nice. It was so moist and I liked the Pistachio flavour, I just think it could have done with a few more sour cherries on top. The chocolate on the outside was really nice and probably helped keep the cake moist. I noticed they also had one in a coffee flavour... so I will probably be back. It is a nice change from all of the coffee chains in the mall and I would highly recommend it.

But here it did and the chap who brought my coffee over confirmed it, which was kind. The coffee was good, the ambience laid back and the feeling was of a haven from a bustling street and city. Eventually, I left my regal armchair to get back and on. This café sets a fine standard for competitors to meet.

Small selection of groceries, and a Post Office. They also have a holiday cottage to let if you wish to stay a little longer.
