Mary Shaws Cafe - Richmondshire

Great little place for a quick stop. Good coffee, lovely cakes

Best T room cafe we went to during our week in the dales, best value too. Gluten free toasted bacon sandwich and fruit scone superb as was the large pasty my wife had.

Visited at 4 pm at the end of a walk through Gunnerside Gill. Very welcome tea and lovely selection of cakes even this close to closing time. Unlimited tea refills (with new tea bags obviously). Friendly proprietor who chatted about the village and his late night baking. WiFi free and clean loo upstairs.

It's an OK place to sit and have short rest but nothing more. The ice cream was below average and the coffee others liked it was just a bit better as the English average. It helps if the sun is out The owner ? is a bit grumpy but generally likable and you shouldn't expect him to ask for your orders at the table just go inside and place the order.

This guy is like a wizard in the kitchen, whipping up a variety of delicious dishes and drinks with top-notch quality. The owner is super friendly and even offers to charge your phone for you.
