The Stripey Badger - Bookshop, Coffee Shop & Kitchen — Restaurant in England

This was categorically THE BEST afternoon tea I have ever had. The ambience, decor, and friendliness experienced in The Stripey Badger was wonderful.

The staff were very attentive, well presented, and couldn't do enough for us.

Whilst it is a popular place, and for those that watch All creatures great and small, you may recognise it, It is a perfect spot to watch the lovely village of Grassington go about its business.

The array of cakes, savouries, sandwiches, and the cream tea we had was spectacular. We had to bring some home with us, as the portions were so generous. Even my work colleagues the next day experienced some of the cakes!. and gave them the thumbs up.

All beautifully home made, fresh, and accompanied by 2 pots of tea. Absolutely couldn't fault this place. 5 STARS!!

The owners Jackie and Steve are simply delightful, great banter, very professional, and clearly take pride in their establishment.

We loved the eclectic, crockery, and nice touches. The presentation is wonderful.

We will definitely be back!! Book in advance if you want to experience the afternoon tea..There really is some work that goes into it!

Perfect spot to treat my Mum for Mothers Day, THANK YOU, Stripey Badger..

Oops almost forgot, there is an adjoining bookshop which is wonderful, lots to choose from and very...

What a beautiful little place within walking distance of the Grassington Nature Reserve We were staying in the area and happened across this lovely cosy place as we did the walking loop.

Didn't get a chance to spend time in the bookshop, though enjoyed lunch sitting in the cafe. The staff are friendly, helpful and thoughtful, even offering our little dog water.

My partner found the cheese and local bacon rarebit to be exceptional (saying 'love has gone into this bacon'). As a vegetarian, I opted for a simple an tasty egg cress sandwich.

Following this we both had delicious and wonderfully sized (i.e. large!) cakes. My cranberry flapjack was something else mmm.

There is a local company's condiments available to buy, and what looked to be an interesting and quaint bookshop next door. I passed through to use the toilet and saw books for children and adults.

There were thoughtful and efficient coronavirus procedures in place, which we appreciate.

If we are ever in the area we will be...

On entering the premises, the friendliness of the place greets you. I found all the staff to be cheerful, pleasant, very attentive and helpful. For a light lunch, both my wife and I settled on a bowl of soup and a cheese sandwich. Sounds boring? Well, it would be anywhere else, but here it was something special. The soup was parsnip and it was the best parsnip soup I have ever tasted. The only word to describe the sandwich was “wow”. It was made with Wensleydale cheese, a delicious chutney (no doubt home made), carrot and apple. That was probably the best cheese sandwich I have ever tasted too. We finished with a pot of Yorkshire tea (what else?) and we were so taken with the home made cakes on display, we treated ourselves to one each. Would I recommend this café? I certainly would. Will we return? We...
