  “A must visit! Our first time in Helmsley on a busy bank Holiday, stopped off in here on the way back to the car. We didn't search the place first just thought we'd pop in for a drink but the cake looked amazing so we couldn't help but order. I got the chocolate orange/jaffa cake and my partner got the afternoon tea for one. Absolutely amazing! We will 100% be back. Also the couple who run it are lovely and the man topped my milkshake up for me 🥰”

  “We came here seeing the reviews and also being dog friendly. Julie and Mark are so lovely. We came in with our two dogs and checked if it was dog friendly as it was so clean. The food is freshly made to order. They have lovely fresh ingredients and the cakes and treats looked amazing. Also served Yorkshire tea! I would 100% pay this place a visit. Very chilled and relaxing vibe.”

  “Fabulous little place in Helmsley, to stop off for a coffee and some cake (or a bite to eat, if you so fancy!) It was a bit of a tough one wondering where to choose, as there's a number of great-looking coffee shops in the area. But I decided upon the Cocoa Tree Cafe and I'm glad I did! On their menu, they offer a variety of things from toasted teacakes and ice cream, to sandwiches and quiches etc. I was in the mood for a coffee and a slice of cake, so went with a large cappuccino and a slice of their berry and citrus cake. Seeing as there was a table outside free, I decided to enjoy the warm weather and people-watch for a while. Of course, sitting outside, you're going to be by any traffic which passes by. I had the odd heavy vehicle pass by, but it didn't bother me. If you want something a bit quieter though, sitting inside might be the better option, of which there is more than adequate seating. The cake selection was nice and I'm sure, would satisfy most people. Served by a very nice gentleman, so that was a bonus! Would definitely recommend this coffee shop, if you're in Helmsley and looking for a place to sit and sip a coffee or have a bit to eat.”

  “I walked in the cafe and knew I instantly that the food here is cooked with love and I am going to love it. The Ginger Cake was so moist and yum! And the coffee, brewed to perfection. The cheese scone was light. I loved the decor and the service was impeccable. You have to try this cafe when you are in the town!”

  “I had a fantastic lunch here. Although I initially hoped for a quiche, there was no vegetarian option, so we opted for sandwiches instead, not expecting much but they then offered to toast them, which was a nice surprise. When we ordered coffee, they asked how strong we preferred it—a thoughtful touch. The food arrived beautifully presented, accompanied by a fresh salad and plenty of condiments. The service was exceptional, and the meal was both delicious and reasonably priced. Just take a look at the photos!!”

  “We did a long walk from the Abbey to get to town and then randomly walked around until we found somewhere that looked nice to eat (there are many places in town but the menu here is what appealed to us) Nicely decorated small cafe. Varied menu (and all the food we saw going past us looked very nice) I got the beef burger with cheese. The beef had a nice taste and was cooked nicely. Came with a ridiculously large amount of cheese (which was very messy to eat, but also very welcome!) in a lovely fresh brioche bun. Came with plenty of well cooked thick chips and lots of fresh salad/coleslaw. My wife got the lemon berry sundae. Also a large portion (never an issue with ice cream!) and had lovely lemon curd ice cream as well as strawberry ice cream. With plenty of raspberry coulis and some wafers. Prices were good (especially for the portion sizes) and the staff were really nice and friendly. They had a good looking selection of cakes and other treats, but by the time we'd eaten our food there was no room left for anything else! Would highly recommend this place.”
