The Cocoa Tree - Ryedale

Doing Yorkshire proud. Fantastic cake, lovely tea, great hospitality with a very warm welcome. Dog friendly too!

Popped in today 16th Dec for a break had cheese scone and toasted tea cake lovely little spot will be back again

Visited Helmsley on a cold and wintery Tuesday and found a very warm welcome at the Cocoa Tree. The interior is bright, airy and very nicely decorated and furnished. The cafe serves a good selection of light meals, sandwiches, cakes and deserts. We had home made soup, baked potato with cream cheese and smoked salmon, served with a side salad. Then we had the Discovery fruit cake, made with apricots, ginger and brandy and served with a slice of Wensleydale. All was delicious and the owner was extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommended. Would definitely return.

Went in today 28/11 for lunch while staying at a nearby hotel. I had Tuna cheese jacket potato my husband had a bacon baguette. Both dishes were of a huge size absolutely delicious. The owners are lovely friendly people. They have many returning customers the cafe was full the whole time so many people came after us who couldn’t get seated. Prices every reasonable

We visited with friends for coffee which was excellent so much so that we returned for lunch which was again excellent. The surroundings are light and airy with really comfortable chairs. We were spoilt for choice from the menu and specials boards everything sounded delicious. The staff were all friendly and efficient and the food was superb. The star dish was the “Discovery fruit cake with Wensleydale cheese”. A special thank you for looking after us so well today.
