Kirkley Cafe: Reviews & Ratings
Delicious home baked scone, still warm, with butter and blackcurrant jam. Made that cycle ride into the prevailing wind well worth while.
Lovely Cafe. Inside it's small but comfortable. A favourite with cyclists. Top quality cakes and tray bakes. A good variety of hot and cold drinks. Plenty of outdoor seating. Staff are always polite and welcoming. Highly recommended to all, even those not comfortable wearing lycra
Found this place on a run out in the car. Hidden gem. Cakes were delicious and home made will definitely be back
This review is for the cafe only as I've not had to use the bike shop. Lovely cosy place in cooler weather and plenty of tables outside for warmer days. Good friendly service and reasonable prices. My fave food here has to be the sausage sandwiches, lovely sausage packed with flavour and served in malty brown bread.
Called in for breakfast on the way back from a short break. Very popular with cyclists and we went on a Sunday morning which meant it was quite busy. Service was fast and the staff were very friendly.
Staff are helpful and friendly, the menu is extensive, cheese scone are how I remember from my childhood, large, soft and very tasty. The parsnip and maple syrup cake is absolutely delicious and so moist. I will have to bring my camera next time as the birds are varied and come close. A lovely relaxing place to visit. ...
Great place to call in for a hot/cold drink and snack. Nice area outside to sit. Regular visitor to it. You don't have to be a cyclist to go!
Mostly caters for cyclists but anyone welcome, excellent coffee and scones with lots of other choice on the menu. Lots of outside seating, less so inside.
