White Rose Books And Coffee

I know it’s covid but everyone else In the town is serving on China so why are you serving everything in plastic? Really ruins what is normally a lovely visit. Such a shame!

Welcoming café in an independent bookshop. Nice coffee and a warm welcome. Not the world’s biggest bookshop, but nonetheless well stocked, and certainly adds to the ambiance.

Lovely seating area to the back of the book shop. We had a Yorkshire Cream Tea (fruit scone, jam and a pot of cream), they were delicious, the garden is a little sun trap, we will definitely come again especially as it is dog friendly too.

Generally we pop in to purchase signed books by both of the Yorkshire Vets. There is a good selection of local interest books as well as ordnance survey and map books. We have only eaten in the coffee bar once so far, but what we had was excellent.

I arranged a business meeting in this cafe in Thirsk being roughly half way for both of us. Car parking just across the way free first hour then 80p per hour. Staff friendly and a reasonable GF selection. I visited twice over last month and the last visit had a lemon and ginger sponge cake delightful.

This is a lovely place to visit for a quick coffee and chat, or a more leisurely lunch. The menu is varied, and reasonably priced. Food is prepared freshly, and well presented tasty and plentiful. Payment is taken at the bookshop end of the building, which can be a bit confusing, but OK when you know about it.

We visited this cafe today and being in the catering industry ourselves were highly delighted to see that they follow most of the government guidelines for catering. 2m spacing, track and trace recording, , face covering when serving, and contactless payment. The only thing missing was sanitised tables when people left. Congratulations and well done.

Popped into this little cafe for drinks and cakes ans so glad we did. Surrounded by books and lovely, lovely home made cakes. I chose the cheese scone and was asked if I wanted it toasted and boy, was that the best option ever. Definite food envy from my partner. Everything served well and the coffee was tasty without being bitter. Lovely relaxed vibe to the place even tho it was busy outside. There also seemed to be a good timetable of events that met in the cafe so a good heart to Thirsk. Would definitely come back here again

I only had a coffee, as did my husmand who joined me, but I bought a wide selection of books and calendars for my granddaughter, friends and for me! some I haven`t seen reviewed but others were only released this week, the Richard Osman, Raynor Winn and the Ann Cleeves. The staff were friendly and although the coffee was in a paper cup due to Covid, I could sit for as long as i wanted, excellent, although I kept on spending as a result!The upstairs toilets were spotless.I look forward to bringing my granddaughter here in the future.
