We have a dedicated children’s room with a great selection for children of all ages.
Additionally, we sell traditional and contemporary greeting cards; music - with a selection of blues, jazz, classical, folk and big band CDs; even birdfeeders and food for our feathered friends.
Our café is a great place to relax and enjoy time with friends and family. Throughout the day we serve freshly ground local coffee, and an award winning range of loose-leaf teas, complemented by light meals, cakes and snacks. Our kitchen, open until 4.00pm daily (3.30pm on Sunday), serves delicious light breakfasts, brunch and lunch including paninis, sandwiches, soups, quiche and salad. The emphasis is very much on home-made, including our own pesto, dressings and warming soups.
High Peak Bookstore and Café is open seven days a week. The café closes half-an-hour before the bookstore. We have a large-free car park, and dogs are welcome with well behaved owners. You’ll find us on the A515 Ashbourne Road 2 miles south of Buxton.
