Sour Cow

Wonderful small but friendly cafe with friendly and helpful staff. Food was really good and the drink selection was good too. Dog friendly, vegan and vegetarian options available.

It’s only a small cafe so feels nice and cosy. It’s quite rustic looking. The food is made and prepared in the cafe part so you can smell it cooking. The staff were really nice and the food was freshly cooked. The cakes looked and tasted great. The scones were huge! The toasted sandwiches were made with nice bread and came with a lovely side salad and delicious homemade coleslaw. The toasted sandwich was £8 but good value compared to many places and a very good portion size. It was delicious. My friends had the pecan and cinnamon cake as loved it

Was greeted by a warm team of staff, lovely food and great atmosphere. Would highly recommend to anyone in the Wirksworth or Derbyshire area, great coffee and even greater food. Amazing experience!

What a lovely cafe! We arrived late in the day, around 4:15. Despite it being the end of the day, Emma (who is a *delight*) cooked us up a tasty, filling, and affordable late lunch! My wife and I split a carafe of French pressed coffee (dark and tasty), a toasted cheese and onion sandwich which came with a little side of salad, and the Vegetarian Breakfast. The veg breakfast is two pieces of thick toast done to a light golden brown topped with scrambled eggs and sauteed mushrooms. The eggs were perfect, still moist and not overly firm, but definitely cooked through. The mushrooms had a light sear on them - delicious, and I don't usually like mushrooms. On the side there were some barbecue beans and a roasted tomato. All of this came to £10.50! We left with full bellies and new knowledge about the area. Did you know there were once 72 pubs in Wirksworth?! We want to come back on a Saturday to try the Full English Breakfast (weekends only). Definitely recommend!

We popped in while our dog was at the groomers and were given a lovely warm welcome. The food was delicious (definitely try the scones!) and the prices are very reasonable. This is a great place to stop for a quick coffee or stay longer for a bite to eat.

I needed a late lunch and this place was still open at 2.50pm. We sat in a quiet but very shabby courtyard. I'd a bacon and cheese toastie with a side salad and coleslaw, my wife had an onion Baji toastie with salad and coleslaw. Tasty. We shared a pot of tea. £8 for each sandwich was more expensive than expected, considering the rough ambience. No sign of the Sour Cow name nowadays.

Perfect Cappacinos, lovely quirky spotted cups, gorgeous Cappacino, the best, hot at last, as some other cafes are not and so delicious, best had in town! The Scones were perfect inside not dry, couldn,t have been better, just as good as the drink and good prices. Will use here every time Im in town. Seats outside front, inside and back courtyard for a sunny day. Friendly waitress too :-) very comfortable for a solo customer

What a lovely cozy place. Quaint decor and such friendly cheerful staff. A breath of fresh air & sunshine is the vibe. The food was great. We ordered pancakes with peanuts and vegetarian breakfast, delicious! Coffee, and hot chocolate superb!
