Sheltering from a bitingly cold wind, we happened upon Caffé Stop, what a great find! Right at the top of Pickering's main street, with outdoor seating too, it has a good central location. The friendly owner turned the radiator on for us as we sat down, noticing our icy appearance. To the say the menu was comprehensive would be an understatement - flavoured lattes, cappuccinos, specialist teas, fruit smoothies and infused hot chocolates to name but a few. The food variety included filled and gourmet sandwiches, panini melts, granary toasties, all day breakfasts, cakes and cookies etc.
I had a Chocolate Orange, an orange infused hot chocolate covered in chocolate shards, with side of chocolate orange segment - delightful! My wife and I shared a panini melt with Mediterranean roasted vegetables; what was a nice touch is that even though we were sharing, we both got an individual plate with full side salad each. That kind of effort deserves a special mention. We will return very soon. read more
