Popped in with some family members for a quick visit. Lovely drinks all around and some lovely toasted Teacakes. Staff very friendly, service very quick considering it was busy, and a great price. Staff handled an issue with another customer who was rude with a very professional manner and excelled. Will definitely be back.
We visited Bakewell for our 14th Wedding Anniversary, as we hadn't been before, and chose Gallery Café for our lunch. Amazing! Lovely staff, quality food and the coffee is perfect (I had an Americano).
really delicious food and coffee, amazing service and plenty of veggie option on menu too!
We had a lovely vegetarian lunch in this hidden gem of a cafe in September 2025. A lovely oatcake with grilled vegetables and a mixed bean chill followed by a slice of Bakewell tart.
Called in for breakfast first thing with my dog, so had to sit outside. Lovely welcome, good coffee and then a tasty breakfast was brought out but then loads of wasps appeared. I spoke to a member of staff who told me they’d been having problems and there should’ve been traps out. They immediately offered to cook a fresh breakfast as the wasps had crawled over mine. I moved to another table but when the food came out the same thing happened. The staff were so kind and supportive and the manager let me sit just inside with my dog. The food was really good but unfortunately I didn’t enjoy it because of the situation with the wasps. The staff and the food were great and I’d definitely recommend it, but check on the insect situation first!
After a stroll round Bakewell decided on The Gallery for lunch. Was busy afternoon but seated pretty quickly. Staff were pleasant, food was nice , Large Cafetiere was small only 2 small cups of coffee , we use large cafetières they hold 8 cups so not sure how they class theirs as large. Called The Gallery , was expecting a nice array of well positioned artwork on the walls , there we're some pictures dotted around. All in all was pleasant enough .. Thank you ..
Saw other recommendations and went to try their delights. Very pleased. Raspberry ripple latte, oatcake bacon and brie. Staff are lovely too. Would I recommended, YES
My 2nd visit here and definitely won't be my last. Lovely food all freshly prepared - had lunch this time, and breakfast last time - wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lovely little cafe. It's slightly off the high street in the town which makes it even nicer - so peaceful. It's also dog friendly for the outside tables. They offer a loyalty card on drinks too. Be back soon! :) x
Such a lovely, classy cafe centrally located yet tucked away from the mainstream. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and courteous. The coffee is sublime, nice and hot, decaffeinated & skimmed milk are great options for my digestion. I took home a slice of Cappuccino Cake & let me tell you, it was a treat, just delicious. So now I must try more!
Amazing café tucked away and upstairs from the main antique store, literally cannot fault them. Great latte (made with full fat milk!) and superb selection of food. we opted for bakewell tart and cream tea. really outstanding food and drink!
