This was my first time coming here and I can honestly say I'm coming again.
It has lovely decor, the menu is amazing and the milkshakes are divine! It's great that it's dog friendly too. All the staff were lovely.
Nice themed dog friendly cafe. Some interesting items of the menu along with more traditional options. Arrived not long after opening and was served quickly. Good view from outdoor seating area. Homemade cake was good and the biscoff latte was a nice treat. Would reccomned if in the area!!
One of the best spots in Matlock! Iv been meaning to try this lovely little cafe for year now, and after weeks of driving past it I finally got to try it, and WOW they didn't disappoint!
The food/drink, the atmosphere, and staff was amazing! Plenty of stuff on the menu to chose from, and lots and lots of cocktails and beers! Definitely will be returning! Especially for their famous freak shake
Update - went back for the mint choco chip freakshake and it defo lived up to the fame!
Only went in for a "Freak Shake" We both chose Banoffee flavour and it was lovely. Lots of extras, like ring donut, banana sweets, cream, toffee sauce on top. Very filling in a wonderful little café bar setting. Nice little outside area as well. All the food on offer looked amazing and we'll definately be going when in the area. Staff were lovely and Friendly, well worth booking in advance, very busy.
27/06/25 - Popped in when staying quite local. Couldn't resist the pancakes as arrived to late for breakfast. Great tasting fresh food, served by friendly polite staff in a quirky setting. Love this place and we'll worth a visit, be prepared for very filling portions👌
Lovely little place in the centre of Matlock. Food was great. I had the fish finger sandwich. Thick white slice too After a punishing bike ride up the local hills it was a great rest stop. Nice pot of tea as well
Spacing of tables in garden room was a little snug, service was good but a little excessive on the "are you ok for anything else?" Food was lovely and could not fault.
mine and my daughters 1st visit to mad hatter and definitely recommend it,food was amazing,so was the service and setting(Riverside table)
Will definitely be back soon
Fabulous atmosphere with delicious food and friendly staff. Very enjoyable afternoon
Had Afternoon Tea and Cocktails here ('Hen Do')...Absolutely brilliant! The lady that mostly served us was sooo helpful, friendly and had a sense of humour! She was definately 'working her socks off' rushing around to keep all customers happy!
Will be back to try a 'Freakshake' soon!
We visited on Friday for burger night and it was really nice. Food and cocktails great and lovely waitress. Live music and a fire burning to keep us cozy.
