Three Roofs Cafe

Cosy intimate coffee shop in the heart if town, lattes are huge!

Went in for a coffee mid morning only to be turned away by a bad tempered waitress because we didn’t want food, there were lots of empty tables (no wonder). No signs telling you that you have to eat, just easier to go somewhere else (plenty of choice anyway) than have poor service like this, they couldn’t even offer the slightest apology for turning away four customers. We went to the Castle hotel across te road who happy to let us just have a coffee despite selling food and other drinks. Steer clear of the Three Roofs.

Just returned from a snack here, and it was not a happy experience. The two waitresses we encountered were brusque bordering on surly and had a loud, ongoing argument in front of the customers. (One of them was shouting at the other to apologise «like she meant it»; the allegedly insincere party was bellowing back.)
They both constantly slammed the door of the café (making a loud bang) as they went in and out, taking things to the customers at the many outside tables, with no consideration of how noisy and jarring this might be, and no attempt to close the door quietly.
I had ice cream with chocolate sauce, which at almost £4 I felt was overpriced, and it had a strange consistency almost chewy. It also had a few ice crystals in it, which made me feel it wasn’t very fresh. (I didn’t complain as I feared the waitresses’ wrath: they were both charging about the café with faces like thunder.)
When a group of people tried to open the café’s door after 5 PM, one of the waitresses opened the door and said, «We’re closed.» No sorry, no thanks for stopping by, no smile. After we’d finished, our bill was slammed down on our table and we paid up quickly: frankly, we couldn’t wait to leave.

Great for cream teas and light lunches. Great location at the end of the High Street in Castleton.
We just felt that the food and drink here were well above average for this kind of unpretentious establishment.
The service is quick and unobtrusive.
We had a salad type lunch and a couple of cream teas. Wide range of teas and coffees.

lovely café situated centrally in Castleton. We went there for our breakfast on a couple of mornings whilst staying up the road in Hope.
Its very ‘tea room’ in layout but the service is friendly and the food is delicious!
