Went today for an afternoon tea birthday party. Unfortunately I couldnt eat the tea because of a health conditon and the owner couldnt have been more accommodating, making me a lovelt chicken salad instead. The afternoon tea looked lush and the portions were generous. Everything was freshly made by her. She even provided doggy bags to take things home and gave out.the extra food she had made for people to take home. Highly recommend!

Lovely little tea room for that catch up with your bestie, breakfast or brunch. Something a bit more special? ask the love hostess about their afternoon tea. Sadly doesn't cater for gluten-free or lactose intolerant and no wheelchair access or parking.

Amazing experience! This is a lovely little Café and one of the best on Royston, Barnsley. Certainly worth a visit. They do take away drinks which suited our needs on the day, albeit next time I will try and stay longer as it feels like a great environment to have a chat in whilst relaxing. The food and drink were lovely and the lady serving was super polite and went above and beyond to make the experience lovely for us. If you come to Barnsley this gem is a the place to get your food and drinks.
