The staff’s attentiveness and kindness are frequently noted in reviews, with visitors like Terry Smith expressing gratitude for having such a welcoming refuge in their community.

Called for 2 teas whilst on a dog walk. Sat outside at the picnic table and chairs which was pleasant and peaceful. The service was good, the tea nice and the price very reasonable. Would recommend.

Lovely cafe run by volunteers, in the grounds of All Saints Church in Hunmanby. It's only open certain days and times, so worth checking on their website before travelling any distance. For instance on a Wednesday you can get a two course lunch and tea or coffee for £5.50. You need to book as meals are cooked to order. On other days you can have tea or coffee and usually on a Friday there is a community lunch held by Hun-Free a group dedicated to stopping food waste. Contrary to what you might think, this is not a Food Bank, so everyone is welcome to both the meal and to take home food. Joy the 'manager' makes everyone welcome.

Wonderful community cafe in the heart of Hunmanby. Run by volunteers who give a friendly welcome. Homemade soup and cakes are really good and the price is excellent.

Excellent volunteer run church cafe. Lunches as well as cakes and bakes. Thank goodness for this cafe as otherwise Hunmanby would be a cafe desert in March. Well done all.

Fresh cakes with a cuppa in a friendly relaxed atmosphere. Brilliant. They also do meals and snacks but the cakes are the reason to go.

Popped in for a cuppa and found it was "Community fridge day". This is where a team of local volunteers distribute donated foodstuffs to the people of Hunmanby & their visitors. We did get a cup of tea & 2 lovely Danish pastries, we made a donation to the funds for the church. We met a lovely lady called Jane, who is the secretary, and her hubby, who looked very dashing in his pinny! They are doing a wonderful job, sourcing & distributing good food, both helping the needy & saving excess waste! Bravo!... Keep up the good work!
