Cintra's Tearoom - Hope Valley

Visited on a Friday at 2pm and was welcomed with a hello and asked how many people we needed a table for (2 of us) and were seated straight away.

We had a hot drink each (double cappuccino and a pot of tea), toasted fruit loaf, cherry scone with all the trimmings, a slice of coffee and walnut cake and a slice of cherry almond cake. The food was delicious and served promptly.

Good selection of cakes on display which all looked delicious, it was hard to choose which one to have!

Lovely little space and very friendly staff who served with a smile.

Our bill came to a total of £26 which for what we ordered was a reasonable price.

The only place I’ll go to for afternoon tea. Choose your filling of sandwich, slab of cake. Matched with a raspberry scone. Service spot on and loads of walks nearby to walk it off! I travelled from London for this and would always do again! £16 with unlimited tea, great value. Also have loads of other cafe favourites e.g toasties jacket potatoes etc

Dear Cakey Fans!

If you had to ask me: Stewie, given half a chance, in which cake parlour across the UK would you like to roll around naked dripping in cake?

Well, not only would you be surprised by how often I get asked that question*, but I actually do have an answer. And that is a lovely little café nestled away in Hathersage deep in the heart of Derbyshire by the name of Cintra’s.

Now I know you’re chomping at the bit to know what cake I’d like to smear all over myself, and let’s face it, there’s plenty of succulent treats to choose from. Gary, the chef, makes the best cakes around by a country mile and honestly, at about thirty minutes, it’s well worth a trip out from Sheffield to sample what he has to offer.

The cakes, that is (not Gary).

So, on the cake front, Cintra’s does not fail to deliver. There’s a selection of yummy things to tempt you when you walk through the door (which in my case is practically entrapment!).

You’ve got the usual favourites: Coffee and Walnut, Coffee, Lemon, etc., which are all scrummy, but by FAR the popular favourite is the raspberry and almond, which is really light and moist and rich with flavour ( you can really taste the almond). It’s delicious!

I could wax lyrical all day about the raspberry scones, the lovely tea with honey, the sandwiches, and the frankly yummy meat pie, but the cakes really are something else. I’ve got a few more places to try this season, but right now, I give Cintra’s the highest possible marks for their cake.

Cake Score: Five NOMS. Well worth a visit.

Just tell Julie Stewie sent you.

More reviews soon!

*It’s once. OK. Just once.

Old style English cafe with lovely staff who accommodated all our requests for food changes. I’ve had better cooked breakfast in particular the sausages and mushroom which could be of better quality. The green in the back is great

Very cosy little place.

Went in the morning to warm my hands up, tea and cake picked by a lovely lady working there, did snake pass on the motorbike, and came back afterwards for another cup of tea!

Lovely café to go to.

Tiptop hot chocolate warmed so well the snow sped up its melt! Now that's an amazing choc-event. Super service matched the catering quality. A must-stop food-stop.

It's lovely here and the food is great. We've been twice now, for lunch and for breakfast and have thoroughly enjoyed both meals. The staff are really friendly and take time to engage with you past just taking your food orders. Would highly recommend.
