Hidden Monkey Tea Room - Ryedale

On a rare sunny day my friend and I stopped for coffee and used the outside seating area they provide. There was a slight mix-up and we received regular size instead of large but when mentioned to the friendly staff they gave us a complimentary refill. The coffee was to our liking and the friendly service always makes it a nicer experience....so we returned later in the afternoon for another!

We called in after reading good reviews. We stopped for coffee and a scone early, but went back for lunch. We had a warm welcome, it is very dog friendly, coffee was good. The platter I chose was excellent and very tasty. Well worth a visit.

Underwhelming experience, not particularly welcoming, ordered a full breakfast at £10.95 and it was the cheapest ingredients, tasteless bacon and sausage and low quality for top money. Really disappointing. Will not go back. At £5.95 I would have grumbled. Come on, up your game a bit.

Sometimes you read reviews and think you are not in the same place ! Sat in the front of the cafe as with disabled parents. We received a lovely welcome and being where we were noted the waitress said hello and had a conversation with everyone as they arrived. Orders taken at the table. Fresh baked scones and cake was delicious rude not to have two slices…Generous pot of tea. Toilet facilities clean and tidy.

Called in when visiting the area. No welcome or acknowledgement at all on entry. Found a table upstairs. The menu was limited and uninspiring, as was the decor. We left and went somewhere else. The staff didn't even notice!
