We had been to the World of James Herriot and needed tea n cake! Super friendly lady serving and lots of choice. Was offered hot milk with coffee which is not always a given so that was nice. I had a cheese scone which was amazing. Such a nice and relaxing setting. If we are ever in Thirsk again, will go back

This is a lovely place to while away an hour or so. A delightful cafe with a good range of food and drink and a bookshop - what could be better? The staff were friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was so much nicer than a chain.

Whilst on a trip through Yorkshire, I called in at the whiterose. It was nice and clean with pleasant friendly staff. The food was good and so was the service. If you are ever in Thirsk and need food I recommend this place.

I love this place - friendly staff and good coffee as well as all the wonderful books! I look forward to trying out the little garden at the back when the weather is better

We ate here while on a visit to Thirsk. We ordered a bacon sandwich and toasted tea cake, both were delicious. On previous visits we have enjoyed cake which was equally delicious. Highly recommend.

I didn't intend to buy a book but I did after having a good homemade soup and salad ,
The scones are very good but don't leave it too late or you will miss out
A bit slow with the service but pleasant staff .
Relaxing atmosphere .

It is my cafe of choice when in Thirsk as they have so much on their menu and the staff are so friendly. We have had coffees, snacks, soup, lunches but this time, we treated ourselves to a great big piece of chocolate cake . Tasty at very reasonable prices. Good bookshop too.

Can't beat a book shop and when it comes with a good quality tea shop offering tasty food, tea and coffee what more do you need 😁

I’m sorry, I don’t know but I don’t recall seeing dogs there. There is a cafe nearby that really welcomes dogs on the same side of the road gong away from the market square
