I class myself as a bit of a cafe expert, I'm a keen cyclist and spend lots of time in them... So what's my idea of the perfect cafe???
Small, very friendly, quality food, exceptional value... You'll get all this at the Fantastically named "Tea Cake Max"... I'm originally from the area but now live
Popped in for a coffee after walk at Holywell Dene.. what a lovely welcome Max gave us and the dogs so we sat in and had a lovely slice of home pie and Mrs had a lovely slice of cake... definitely up that way for a walk and coffee.
Excellent food and great service. Sunday takeaway lunch is the best value for money you can get.
Nice little cafe. We sat outside at the table. Coffee, Hot Chocolate and lovely chocolate crispy cake with marshmallows and peanut chocolates. Large slices as well (but containing zero calories according to the lovely owner).
So pleased I had 1 too many and couldn't be bothered to cook a roast dinner. Delicious roast at a great price. Home made Yorkshires and crunchy crackling! Such a friendly woman and fantastic cook. I'll definitely be back. Can't wait to try the cakes.
We loved our first visit here today with our pair of cocker Spaniels. Lovely warm and friendly welcome for humans and treats for the dogs. Great homemade food at very reasonable prices. We particularly enjoyed the homemade gluten free coconut lime and elderflower cake. Will make this our regular hal
This place is clean,cozy and well run. Been a couple of times for breakfast and both times they were freshly cooked and delicious .Not much room inside but you can take away including a Sunday roast just take a plate along. Freshly made scones and pies and cakes. Give it a try well worth it
Maxine is a legend! All home cooking. From cup cakes to corn beef and potato pies... No mass production, no factory, just Maxine and a kitchen... Perfect.
Called in this morning for a bacon sandwich, half way mark on my dog walk round the Dene. Excellent bacon 🥓 sandwiches. First time, but will def be back. Sorry bout my barky dog 🐾
Thank you for taking my order at short notice. Lovely Sunday lunch and rice pudding. First class and plenty of it, served with a friendly smile 👍.
