We had a long black and flat white both of which were very nice indeed: great coffee, perfect temperature. We also shared a brownie between us, which was also lovely. We were going to take out, but we perched on two of the stools and had a lovely chat with the friendly barista. This is a true specialist coffee shop selling the best quality coffee made with care and love.

This is a small coffee shop just outside of Helmsley town Square. It serves a number of hot and drinks and a limited amount of cakes and snacks, along with a limited amount of clothes for children and adults.
The coffee shop is primarily focused on takeaway coffee so there is very limited or no seating inside at the time of writing.
I paid a visit with a small group of people on the 23rd of September 2025. The barista made us all very welcome, was very friendly and polite. The coffee was good and everybody enjoyed their drinks.

You know a coffee shop is going to be good, when it's off the main square but still has a queue out the door, but even so Forest coffee was better than we expected! So good in fact that we drove an hour out of our way the next day to secure a good caffeine hit!
Well made coffee, from a lovely owner who clearly cares about quality!

Special coffee and really welcoming staff.
Was a highlight of our recent trip to discover this absolute gem.
I would throughly recommend to those who enjoy a good coffee, and suggest trying the decaf too!

Proper coffee- had an amazing espresso with golden crema and a brick of buttery caramelised almond croissant. 10/10 👌 Worth the ride over from Stokesley just for the coffee!

Really excellent coffee, I had an oat milk decaf piccolo, the decaf was Swiss water method decaf which makes all the difference and real care was taken when making the coffee. It was the best take out coffee I’ve had in a while and I definitely have high standards when it comes to coffee 😄

Fantastic takeout cappuccino, and not served too hot either, no waiting around for 15 minutes for it to cool down 😄
