Trail centre cakes are a bit like their trails, Bland and predictable.

A recent discovery for me is Bank Side Cafe in Langsett, Yorkshire. Made an 'emergency mid-ride stop' (went out on ride under-fuelled) for tea and a cherry scone with plenty of butter and jam, and a big slab of flapjack for the back pocket which was very tasty. Very bike friendly with a range of biking essentials (tubes, lights, tools) behind the counter for sale too. CTC members get a 10% discount as well. No pics unfortunately.

I have just amended a route we're doing around Rothiemurchus this summer to include a stop at Inshriach Nursery cake shop - hope it's worth it!

WOO-HOO!
actually, do you know if there is a direct path to the shop from Loch An Eilein? Looking at Google maps it looks like we'll have to head SW from the loch and then join the B970 futher down towards Dalnavert.

That unfortunately says to me that it's uphill straight after the tea and cake stop. Which means in my book, docked 2 points.

I think it is - great cakes and the have a bird feeding/ viewing station right outside the window so you get to see loads of great tits ( and sparrows and chaffinches and so on)

Sorry but for Aviemore, the Ord Ban at Rothiemurcus does it for me. About the best cakes ever, anywhere let alone convenient for biking

+1 for Brenda's cakes at Dales MBC. Her carrot cake can crush any contender for the crown.

Surrey is ruled by Peaslake Stores for sheer variety of foodstuffs in such a small space. The Rocky Road is awesome, as are the Chocolate Fudge bricks that occasionally appear.

The cakes at the Parkhead cafe on the Waskerley Way are excellent allegedly.

Jeez, this route could take a while if we stop at all of them.
CaptainMainwaring, would you be able to send me the exact location of it? Is this right?

If you've been to the National Trust cafe in Edale you will know the answer is YES. don't know if they're still there but I was there last summer, I nearly stayed all day and got the train back to the car

Eck, there is a wee trail from Loch an Eillan, I dont have the map, but it starts as singletrack and climbs a little till it joins a fire road, follow it until it hits the road perhaps a hundred yards south of the cake shop. There is an easier climb back up again heading towards Aviemore and turning back on yourself at a big green shed. You have to lift your bike over a couple of deer fences, but its an easy spin back up to the loch.

Nowhere in France can be included. THEY CANNOT MAKE TEA THERE!!!!!!

Have to say Peaslake too Lemon Fudge cake is a wonder and they do a quality cuppa, quite apart form the fact that they feed my dog tidbits from the deli..
I went to a salon de the in france and they made a great cuppa, no milk and sweet just like it should be.

The cakes at Coffee Cali in Hebden Bridge are always pretty good. I'm especially fond of their tiffin
Posted 1 year ago # -
Sorry guys, but it is definately the cafe at Achnasellach station
Plus the trails are pretty good too
The one in the farm at Patterdale is one of my favourites aswell. God I love tea shops.

I don't understand. Inshriach has already been mentioned, so why has the thread carried on?

Never had cake in the Mountain Cafe in Aviemore.
However, if we were to start a "best all-day breakfast" thread...
