A cosy nook where every dish whispers of Yorkshire trails and homely warmth. Born out of its founders’ love for local walks, the cafe prides itself on “the simple things done well” - freshly prepared breakfast, light lunches, comforting homemade cakes, and an unforgettable afternoon tea, baked in-house with local ingredients and a sprinkle of Feather Trail magic. It’s walk-ins only (except for afternoon tea, which requires a reservation), and every visit feels like a warm Yorkshire welcome.
