HIGH PEAK BOOKSTORE AND CAFE, Buxton

The coffee is sourced from the superb Buxton Coffee Roasters and is served at the perfect strength and concentration. It should be the benchmark for all other cafes. The food is also excellent and very reasonably priced. The staff are clearly well respected and friendly....More

Unusual and delicious!

We've eaten here several times and we are always spoilt for choice! Today we went for the grilled pepper and pesto toastie and the goat's cheese and sundries tomato panini. Both were delicious and beautifully presented. The selection of hot drinks is something to behold!...More

Proper tea in The Peak.

We had a pot of tea that was served as I remember in my childhood days. See photographs. No tea bags in sight. To use a strainer was a memory from many years ago. Friendly service & clean throughout. The bookshop is a readers paradise....More

Very disappointing

We visited on 27th July 2021. The Covid check in didn’t work because it was so curled up! No sanitiser. The staff totally disorganised meaning people were having to queue so closely together that it meant everyone sat indoors at risk. Outdoor service was an...More

Books and food!

Visited for morning coffee. Cafe welcoming and covid safe. Good menu, cream tea tasty. Huge bookstore area, lots of “knickknacks “ too. Clean toilets on the level. Big car park.
