Lovely small cafe for drinks and bites. Didn’t eat (see menu/prices) there but coffee was nice. Ask for it extra hot ! Geared up to use card for payments ….they don’t seem to carry mush change for cash. Clean surroundings, friendly staff.
We visited today, with our dog Mia. Such a lovely warm welcome as if we were regulars, it was our first visit.
Excellent chocolate cake & vanilla cheesecake which were both delicious, A pot of tea & a latte.
We will definitely call again next time for either breakfast or lunch ????
First visit to Helmsley so after a wander round we decided on Barkers for lunch.
2 stars one for location and 1 for coffee.
Service brought food out no return to see if all was ok or if we needed anything else.
Food came out , didn’t look appetising maybe a few salad leaves and dressing would add flavour to very bland food.
Tuna melt came with cheese non existent , tuna was cheap and nasty to n all both the panini and the tuna sandwich were bland and flavourless.
Maybe if you can’t cope with a Bank Holiday crowd don’t open.
Couldn’t recommend on todays offerings!!!
Wife loved her sausage onion and mushroom ciabatta and I really liked the bacon and sausage ciabatta, lovely soft bread and huge! Makes it all really good value. The staff were also really friendly and the young lad really conscious about the placement of cutlery and cups and handle positioning, so real attention to detail. Dogs allowed inside too.
amazing food and value for money, really pleased with the overall custom however when it came to paying they wouldn’t accept Scottish money without any reasonable explanation as to why. when challenged about this at the end of our dine the person didn’t seem to bothered and no apology was given, in this day and age Scottish and English money are just the same and we felt as if we were being discriminated against. (would’ve left a tip but only had Scottish notes????)
Had a delicious lunch (vegan houmous and beetroot sandwich) , amazing hot chocolate and vegan chocolate cake. Lots of choice for veggies and vegans and the owner and staff were very friendly. Also the oat milk cappuccinos are really good
We found the only unfriendly person in Yorkshire here! Two of our group of four were not ordering anything (partly due to complex allergies) so the two were told to leave the EMPTY cafe in case it got busy! The owner stood over us and spoke very rudely without an ounce of warmth. We stood speechless for a moment and walked out. We were almost glad though because the decor was dated and bland and did not reflect the character of this beautiful town. There is an abundance of other cafes and pubs in Helmsley, go literally anywhere else. They all looked beautiful. We ended up at Mannions. THAT was 5 stars. I hope someone with more suitable qualities takes over the business soon.
Staff are so nice here and I would recommend the scrambled eggs on toast. Very nice
