"This is my favourite place to eat in Malton, I a friend regularly have takeaway drinks lunches, mainly either, soup, sandwiches, wraps, paninis or salads. All are freshly made delicious very reasonably priced. Malton has a wide variety of cafes coffee shopsto chose from but the stand out feature that draws us back to the Patisserie is not only high quality food but the friendly, efficient staff who always make us feel so welcome. Although less often, we occaisionally sit in in the cafe which provides the same first class service products. There is also a well stocked shop with a wide variety of lovely biscuits, cakes, preserves drinks which can be made into hampers. The delights of this little Malton gem are too numerous to mention."

"We love Mexican food and we were looking forward to visiting. Upon arrival the best description I can give is chaotic. Every table was dirty and the bar was stacked with dirty glasses. The guy in charge said he’d been non stop for three hours and asked us to sit at a dirty table until they cleaned the others. After about 10 minutes and a new arrival was seated before us we were guided to a table. We were close to a large table of drunk younger people who were shouting. By this time we were losing confidence in the restaurant as they did not seem to care about our experience. After a further wait and no apology or service we decided to leave and managed to get a table at a Thai restaurant around the corner where the service and food were very good. Sadly I would not return. I doubt they even noticed we had left. Would not recommend"

"Having left Northumberland that morning skipping breakfast, we were in desperate need of some hot food by the time we arrived. Having a stroll around Malton and Norton, there didn’t appear to me to be that many restaurants or pubs opening offering food, it seemed to be mostly cafes. We dipped into here because we thought we’d get a pub meal, unfortunately it was mainly toasties, scones, sandwiches and soup. The hot offering was pulled pork with Nachos, they were okish. I went for the chicken, bacon and Mayo sandwich. I guess I thought I’d get a chicken breast, some streaky bacon slices and maybe lettuce and mayo. What I got was some heart attack inducing, calorie laden creamy chicken monstrosity. 80% Mayo, 20 %chicken, 0% bacon. I did ask the girl behind the bar that they forgot to add the baconand was told it was all chopped up. I will wager my two children that there was NO bacon in that sandwich whatsoever, the only texture was a stalk of a slice of rocket or other green leaf thing. Now I’m not a chef, but I’m pretty sure that if you ask anyone off the street to make a sandwich with three ingredients, it’s something they could manage. Thinking whoever was in the kitchen that day could do with some catering school experience. This establishment excels in hiring someone who can take the basics and mess it up spectacularly. So speaking of messing things up, it took me three attempts at paying the bill. I was first told when I went to the bar it was £20. I thought it cheap but I just assumed they didn’t charge me for the sandwich as it wasn’t what I wanted. Before leaving I picked our glasses up to leave on the bar, only to be greeted with a “I’ve not charged you for drinks, it’s an extra £8” I guess no niceties here. I handed over two £5 notes, as I waited for my change which took forever, she then turned around and said “it’s not £8, it’s £14” Incompetence rules rife here. No one is infallible but this was ridiculous.; not only was I annoyed at being charged for ingredients which didn’t exist, I seemed to then have to jump through hoops to settle the bill. Without doubt, the worst food I’ve had in a number of years and worst place I’ve been to in Malton it won’t surprise anyone to say I won’t be back, and I’m sure they won’t want me back anyway."

The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was to our liking. Atmosphere: 4/5 The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great place to enjoy dinner with friends or family.
