What User likes about Ribbons Tea Room:
I love this caffe so much that after a regular table I asked to be booked every week. eating is amazing from the wonderfully freshly baked scenes to the most mouthful water queues they will ever taste. wonderful people who run a wonderful caffe View all feedback. What goldstones2 doesn't like about Ribbons Tea Room:
Lovely decor and staff. We had the afternoon tea which we were quite disappointed with. The sandwiches were like doorstops cut into smaller slices, the cake was quite dry and you only get one (big) piece of cake. This just isn’t what afternoon tea should be like, sandwiches should be dainty and there should be a selection of small cakes. Shan’t return. View all feedback.

Nestled in a charming setting, this cafe captivates with its delightful decor and warm, friendly staff. While some guests lamented the quality of the afternoon tea—citing dry cakes and overly hefty sandwiches—others praised the exceptional experience, highlighting fresh scones and delicious milkshakes. Many return for the impressive range of teas, homemade cakes, and personalized service, including accommodating dietary preferences. Customers appreciate the lovely ambiance, making it a great spot for celebrations or casual visits post-run. Despite some inconsistent feedback, the cafe appears to hold a special place in the hearts of local patrons eager to return.

Took mum here for her birthday tea with my two sisters. The staff made a fuss of her and provided sandwiches and cakes to all our dietary requirements.

Lovely looking place but unfortunately the food was really poor. The sauce with the eggs benedict was awful and bland and watery. Nice service
