Delicious coffee!! Thank you - lovely staff too who have to keep up with a fast pace of customers in a small space within the café. Only criticisms (quite hard to find!) is the £0.40 add on for plant based milk. That cannot really be explained in my opinion. Also there are not enough seats outside so be prepared so sit on the main lawn in the square.

Sad I wasn't here around dinnertime as the menu looks delicious! Cakes are all homemade and taste fantastic. They also offer a great selection of drinks including milkshakes and specially flavoured lattes. Staff seem lovely. Don't miss out!

WOW what a great cafe, such a friendly family running it. We were 5 cyclists (very hungry) who had delicious toasties followed by coffee and cake. Service was really quick and I told the lady who owned it with her husband that the dark chocolate tiffin was fantastic. She asked me if I wanted the recipe and disappeared inside, thinking she had forgotten we were just leaving when she ran out the cafe to give me the recipe. Now that is service. DO VISIT, a great cafe in beautiful Reeth.

Overton House Cafe is the stand out best café in the Yorkshire Dales. I've been coming here for a couple of years and each time reminded why I come back. A friendly, family run business that serves local produce. It's menu is well thought out and prepared fresh daily. Sandwiches and soup of the day are always a favourite. I've cycled here a couple of times and they have happily offered to refill water bottles. Dog friendly and homely, a must see stop on your way through Reeth - you won't be disappointed.
