Hobbs Cafe Reviews

Terrible service, staff very rude, Instant coffee. Will not be going again

Hobb's cafe overlooksa wonderful panorama and has quite a history of providing refreshment at Monsal Head - now primarily to cyclists and walkers on the Monsal Trail ( up to 8.5 miles between Bakewell and Wye Dale) and a number of other routes. It previously served to house those overseeing the building of the railway on that route, then an estate gamekeeper lived there. It now provides home made lunches and teas including oatcake and quiche with great filling flavours. It also hosts a small art and craft gift shop with a wide range of cards, some local maps / souvenirs and a range of good quality gifts. A lovely place to visit, even if you're not on one of the many footpaths and bridleways that can lead there.

I would say this location is not dog friendly, the prices are very high for what you actually get and the guys attitude was very rude.

It would probably be easier if you put a sign up saying no dogs inside. Then you wouldnt have to tell customers every 5 minutes to keep the dog on a short lead or moan when a dog does something unexpected, after all its a dog.

Had a nice chat with the man taking our order. My husband and I shared a baguette and THE BEST QUICHE I've ever eaten! Absolutely delicious.

Absolutely the best scones I have ever tasted. Sat outside on a beautiful sunny day with an amazing view. The staff are really friendly too.

Good when it's back open! In the meantime, Ice creams & tea from the van with a great view to sit and enjoy them from. (And more friendly than the pub next door)

cozy cafe, yummy food, artistic deco with lovely animal dolls.

Perfect place for rest and refuelling after @Monsal Head walk/hiking/biking, great coffee and homemade cakes, locally sourced lunch/dinner meals.

Ideal spot for people with restricted moving as straight from car you can spend hours watching valley bellow.
Been here many times and will back as never get bored.
And just short drive to Bakewell

A cuppa with a view! Quite pricey, expect to pay touristy prices. They don't give empty cups with a cup of tea which is a little strange but apparently many places do that nowadays. Closing times are not always the same. Best to get there before 3pm if you don't want to miss it.
