  • "Beautiful little cafe, friendly attentive staff, very quick service and one of the best breakfasts I've ever eaten. The chorizo on the avocado on toast is unbelievable. We live an hour and a half away and came as a stop off on our way home from a break away and so glad we chose here! We are already planning when we can come back to explore the town a little more but mostly return for that Chorizo. My husband had the full English and said it was perfect and our little one seemed pretty chuffed with her Jam on toast but more so with Dougie the dog!"

  • "A firm family favourite. We find excuses to visit Helmsley, just so we can enjoy the Feather Trail Cafe’s warm welcome, cosy atmosphere and delicious cakes. Easily the best Full English in the North too. Perfection."
