Hi!

We’re an award-winning community café in the heart of Edale, serving up great locally roasted coffee and loose-leaf tea, pasties and delicious home-made cakes. 

The cafe is right by Edale train station, perfectly located for walkers heading out for the day or grabbing a well-deserved hot chocolate and piece of cake on the way back from popular nearby routes up Kinder Scout and Mam Tor.

Our placement on the world-famous Manchester to Sheffield train line means the cafe is only 30-40 minutes from either city. 

We’ve got a log fire and blankets in winter, ice creams in summer, and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

Small brick building with an open door, outdoor backpacks and gear on the ground, signs advertising free maps, WiFi, and dog-friendly policies, and a sign for Penny Pot Cafe.

Winter Opening Hours:

Monday to Friday: 9am till 4pm

Saturday & Sunday: 8am till 5pm

(Not open Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Boxing Day and New Year’s Day we open 10:30am)
