Small café.
Big Yorkshire heart.
Freshly prepared food, proper coffee and the warmest of welcomes — all from our independent family-run café on Goodramgate.
A little about us
Made with heart
since 2015.
We’re a small, independent, mother-and-daughter-run café with a tiny kitchen, a close-knit team and a whole lot of pride in what we serve.
We took a leap of faith more than ten years ago and built Wheldrakes around everything we love: quality local produce, food freshly made to order, homemade bakes, our own house-blend coffee and friendly full table service.
“If you put your heart and soul into something, you will succeed.”— Kerry Wheldrake, owner
