Scarthin Books - Menu

Cute little cafe hidden in a book shop. Great menu, staff, decor. Tasty food. Good range of soft drinks and Teas.

A so sweet place embedded under the books We had cured lentil and spinach soup and homity pee Really delicious people were beautiful

Right in the middle of a gorgeous bookshop! Great vegan menu and cake, which includes a vegan version of the local Homity pie. Delicious Ploughman’s with mushroom pate too.

Scarthin Café is a local institution and is here forever. Incredible selection of new and used books over several floors and a small hidden café with indoor and outdoor seating. The vegan Hommity Pie is delicious and the cakes are interesting and delicious.

That's probably my favorite café everywhere. The menu is completely vegetarian with vegan options for most things. Found in the unique Scarthin books, you will find delicious homemade food. Cake, brunch, soups and hearty lunch to mention that you eat surrounded by books. It's wonderful. #Veganuary

Follow the signs in the bookshop which will take you up to the cafe on the first floor. There's a garden area where you can sit outside. Friendly service. Large selection of vegan cakes and vegan options on the menu. Lots of drinks to chose from too! Highly recommend the tea loaf, it was moist and delicious, the perfect texture.

May have picked a bad day to visit but when we did there were sadly no sweet options that were suitable for vegans all five cake type offerings had dairy or eggs. Soya milk available but no other non dairy milks, which is a shame. Savoury food looked decent and the book shop itself is great with lots of little rambling rooms (but well organised). Worth a visit and a look around, and has a good vegan cookery book section.

I have visited here a few times and love this little place. The village is beautiful and the building so quirky. I'm sure there is not another place quite like this. The cafe is upstairs and is part of the book shop. If you love books you will spend hours wandering around here! There is a conservatory which I prefer to sit in rather than the main cafe if it isn't already full. There is a good selection of vegan options. Everything I've had so far I've enjoyed. Staff are really friendly too.

We were in the area searching for vegan food and came across this place! They did a takeaway for us to eat later as we couldn't find many places open after five and we worried we wouldn't be able to find anywhere to eat that caters for vegans! Jules the manager knew her stuff and even gave us some vegan butter to take away for our toast in the morning at the hotel. The Thai wraps were super tasty and all the dishes came with a big salad with bulgar wheat and beans and overall just a great experience! Fully recommend and the book shop is the cutest little thing tucked away up a steep village road.
