Time Cafe at Stump Cross
Inside Time Cafe at Stump Cross
Time Cafe at Stump Cross is a well-pitched spot for a relaxed pit stop whether you’re exploring the fascinating Stump Cross Caverns or just passing through the rugged landscape of Greenhow Hill. As a café, it balances a welcoming, casual atmosphere with practical touches that locals and visitors appreciate, like ample seating both indoors and outside, and convenient cycle racks that hint at its popularity with bikers on the nearby B6265.
What stands out here is the straightforward comfort of the menu and genuinely good coffee. The flat whites and filter coffees come recommended, hitting just the right note for those wanting a quality caffeine fix after exploring or cycling. The breakfast and lunch options lean into hearty, familiar flavours with a menu that includes a Full English Breakfast, beef and ale pie, and a Cumberland hotdog, alongside lighter fare like avocado toast and savoury scones with chutney. Portions are generous and thoughtfully prepared, providing good value for sizable servings that satisfy well.
The vibe is friendly without fuss; staff take care to make everyone feel welcome, including families and visitors with accessibility needs. This relaxed approach extends to timing — the café accommodates both early breakfasts for those starting a day out and lunchtime crowds looking for a warm meal after a morning at the caves. Cakes and brownies offer a sweet finish or a tempting pause with a cup of tea.
Parking can be a bit tight, but free if you can find a spot, and overall the café fits naturally into its slightly remote setting — there’s little else nearby, which makes it a natural gathering point for both locals and visitors. Whether you’ve just finished touring the caverns, out on a bike ride, or simply need a peaceful place to refuel with a view, Time Cafe delivers a reliably pleasant and unpretentious experience that reflects the pace and character of this part of Harrogate.
