Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Stopped here for some cake and coffee whilst exploring St Mary’s. Off the beaten track, set in a stunning g location. Really friendly staff with a great selection of cakes - catering for many dietary requirements (including gluten free)! Definitely worth a visit!

Probably the friendliest cafe on the island. No long faces here like some others. Also good sandwiches (although not keen on the mayo on the crab) and the best cake selection you can find. Gorgeous setting too.

A lovely spot, excellent service and the food was really good. The waitress corrected us after asking for 2 teas, "no" she said " that's a pot of tea for two!"

This lovely little cafe, a two minute walk from Carrag Dhu is an absolute gem. The best cakes on St Mary’s. The staff were super helpful and friendly.

Absolutely wonderful place. No trip to St. Mary's is complete without stopping here. The staff are lovely and the food delicious. By far the best place for lunch on the island. And to top it all off, they offer great value for money!

What a fabulous find - a short walk up from Carreg Dhu Garden, which we'd just visited and were in need of tea and cake, and wow did we strike lucky. They serve a very impressive selection of drool-worthy cakes, and I had one of...the best scones ever as part of a cream tea. OH gave his coffee n walnut a big thumbs-up too! Lovely garden setting, a great play area for kids and v friendly staff. Highly recommended.More

We originally tried to stop for food at Old Town, but as it was a Saturday and the cafe was closed and the pub not offering food, we walked up through Carreg Dhu garden and came across the sign for this cafe so thought we've...give it a try. We opted for tea and cake and sat outside on their terrace. All very nice and relaxing.More

I think so, but check the website or give them a call. It’s a lovely family run business and I’m sure they’ll help you.

It is not in Hugh Town. About a mile (estimate) out of town towards the middle of the island.
