Institution Boutique Cafe

Found this excellent cafe on a stop off for breakfast on our way to Bamburgh. Quality and size of the full English and vegan breakfast were fantastic. The coffee was good too. Service was excellent. Prices were reasonable £9.95 each. Would definitely go back again.

One of my new favourite places to go for cake and coffee, I recommend the Carrot and Walnut cake 🍰 it was lovely. Great atmosphere and the friendliest staff very kind, helpful and lovely to chat with. I will definitely be going back soon 👍🏻

One of the most coziest cafes I've been to in England and so welcoming for the dog! We had an amazing lunch with a breakfast roll and Nachos! Thank you for the good service and friendly staff!

Superb cafe, efficient and friendly service with excellent food. I often stop for breakfast or lunch when passing on the bike. Not cheap but a fair price for the quality. Goats cheese flatbread is excellent. Coffee very good also. Never disappoints.

Fabulous. A real find, with such a varied menu with items such as bao buns. Unusual to see a small cafe offering such a diverse menu with everything cooked to perfection. Staff super friendly and well organised service. Nothing to fault, and super dog friendly

We often visit Bedale and head straight for here, had a lovely chat with the owner yesterday a very friendly and interesting chap. Everything here is top notch and lots of comfy chairs, even more upstairs

Having followed on FB for a while it was lovely to finally visit. We were lucky to get a table as it was mainly reserved on Friday lunchtime. It was lovely! We'll be back!

We had a marvellous birthday treat here! We pre-ordered afternoon tea for two people, and ordered from the regular menu for the other two. The afternoon tea was really special. Unlimited sandwiches (the egg mayonnaise was my favourite), two mini scones with clotted cream and jam each (divine), and an exquisite selection of little cakes to share. Unlimited tea and filter coffee on tap topped everything off. Highly recommended!

What a great place!! First visit today, Flat Whites were perfect and the Maple/Walnut Flapjack deeeelish! We will be regulars in future!

Lovely food, really enjoyed it especially the halloomi fries! Delicious. Lovely atmosphere. Nice place and friendly staff

Perfect breakfast, Excellent friendly staff. I would come again.

Plenty of Breakfast options. Biscoff milkshake and chocolate orange mocka was devine.

Only had a latte, no food. Friend had a blueberry scone. It looked very nice! Place quote full but tables well spread out, staff all friendly and reasonably priced.

Great coffee in Bedale. Well worth the short detour from the hassle of the A1M. Comfy sofas and chairs, lovely friendly staff, choice of delish cakes. And nice clean toilets too.
Bedale itself is well worth exploring if you have the time! A box of gems tucked away in a beautiful corner of Yorkshire.

We visited this cafe for breakfast on our way home from a break away and so glad we did. I am always expecting not to have much choice as I am dairy and wheat intolerant but this wasn't the case today. The waitress asked the chef to come out and help with options for me, which was a lovely experience and so nice to have such a personal service.
The food was so nice, it was in fact the best breakfast I have had eating out! Everyone's meals were lovely even the tea, which there was lots of, and the staff were so nice too. I wish we lived close by as this would definitely have to be my local. Top mark's!

Booked a table for 13:30 today with no hassle, lovely customer service on arrival. Quick delivery of drinks once ordered and the food was superb! We had the burger and soup and was amazed how tasty it was. Would come back 100% :)

The food and service is always fantastic, every time we visit. Very friendly staff and great atmosphere. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Bedale.

Nice restaurant, outdoor seating in summer is lovely. The food has been fab 4/5 times i’ve been, but really disappointing on my first visit- glad I went back as it’s been lovely each time since.

Lovely food. Lovely service. A great experience.Four of us had afternoon tea. They couldn't do enough for us. A fab venue. Thank you.
