Stamp Coffee Shop

Mandy, the co-owner of Stamp, is an exceptional baker who creates incredible Afternoon Teas that are worth traveling for. Stamp is a small post office/café with just 6 tables, so reservations are necessary, especially if you are in the Ashover Parish area. Afternoon tea services had paused during lockdowns but are now starting up again by reservation only. Be sure to bring a Tupperware container to take home any leftovers! The venue can accommodate up to 8 friends and allows you to bring your own alcohol for special occasions. Each table is allotted 90 minutes from the time of booking, so punctuality is important due to high demand. The menu includes a selection of finger sandwiches, mini rolls, wraps, quiche, lemon posit, variety of cakes, fruit and cheese scones with jam, clotted cream, and fresh strawberries. Guests have the choice of a pot of tea or a cup of coffee. The price has remained under £20 since opening, but there may be changes due to inflation. Stamp also serves drinks, breakfast, and lunch for locals and walkers and is dog-friendly. Additionally, you can purchase cakes, newspapers, milk, and sweets to go. Stamp is truly the heart of this lovely community.

I decided to head out for breakfast on a beautiful sunny morning and, after reading great reviews, chose to visit the charming village of Ashover. We didn't have a reservation but were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff and given a choice of tables. We both ordered a pot of tea along with poached eggs on toast with a side of bacon. The dishes were beautifully presented, with perfectly cooked poached eggs, delicious bacon, and granary toast. The atmosphere was lovely and welcoming, and I would highly recommend this place. We will definitely be back, perhaps to try their lunch menu or indulge in one of their enticing scones or cakes that all looked amazing!

We stopped by for breakfast, my husband ordered the full English breakfast and loved it. It was great value for money and he said it was one of the best breakfasts he has ever had! I had the granola pot which was delicious, with plenty of fresh fruit and yogurt. The coffee was excellent and the staff were friendly and attentive. We highly recommend this place and will definitely be back.

Highly recommended for breakfast. We stopped off here for breakfast which was delicious. The owner was so friendly and talked us through a few nice walks around the area. We did one, which was a walk up a hill and back for stunning views and then came back for cake. Bit of Guinness cake on st Patrick’s Day. Then he went and got us a printed walk around Ashover which was a really nice touch. Food matched the service.

We dropped in for lunch as our midway point on a walk; staff were very welcoming and accommodating about the food, which was freshly cooked and delicious. Lovely cakes and coffee too. Will definitely return.
