I've been greedy this week, going to several cafes for a cuppa. After a nice walk, there's nothing better than sitting and having a coffee and a bite to eat!
We called in at the Whitworth Terrace Cafe, which started out just selling teas and coffees from a hatch in the wall. The centre is a charitable trust, so all the profit from the cafe is put back into the upkeep of the centre, so it can carry on being used by the local community and not just used as a cafe.
A slice of cake always go down nicely with a black Americano coffee. You burn a few calories off having a walk and then put it back on in the cafe!
A few days later, we went to the Longshaw Estate. I loved the table map. I have no sense of direction so I like maps that state 'you are here'. Sadly, even though it was a map of the local area, we weren't even on it. I did have a lovely cauliflower pasty though. I'm a vegetarian and cafes aren't very adventurous with pasties. Usually, there's just cheese and onion pasties on offer. This was something different. Nice and spicy so my coffee soothed my mouth.
I love walking, so I don't feel too guilty walking miles and then going for a coffee and a treat afterwards!

Hello @ellenripley
That's a remarkable practice of the coffee shop. I think deeds like these do a lot for the community and make people more inclined to support them.
It's great to see that efforts are made to preserve places like these.The cheese and onion pasty is so tempting😋 and the coffee looks awesome too.
A agree that stopping for a coffee after the walk is a nice way to absorb it all.
Thank you for stopping by us today.🤗
Enjoy the rest of your day.💐
I've just realised that coffee drinking is becoming more and more of a hobby. 😊
It's a great hobby😄 keep it up 👍
Wow! Your walking trip is very civilised! Always having a replenishment is absolutely a must after a long walk! That cake looks very good and your pastry looks tasty! Yummy! I must raid my fridge after this!!lol
I have to rest my old bones somehow. 🙂🙃
Yeah! I rest mine too often without a long walk!lol
CAKE!
Well ... there was ... 😁
Hello @ellenripley 😁
We're Looking forward to seeing you soon!😁
Have a great day!🤗
There is something sort of freeing about eating a treat after a walk or other form of exercise. It is almost like the calories don't count. ;-)
Yes and I'm sticking with that idea! 🙂
