The Dalesman Curiosity Shop

The Dalesman Curiosity Shop The Dalesman Cafe is a quaint little tea shop in Gargrave, famous for its nostalgic sweet collection. It also accommodates cyclists...lots of cyclists.

A Quirky Collection Of Curiosities, from an abundance of Antique & Collectable Advertising, Packaging & Signs to Houshold & Kitchen items & Gardenalia not forgetting Vintage Toys, Games, Books, China, Baskets & some super Traditional Sweets too! We have a team of dedicated and friendly staff who are willing to attend to your every need; even if that means asking for one of every single sweet from

our 100+ jars. We do get some strange requests..but hey, considering we clean our skirting boards religiously and parade round the village dressed as animals, you could say we're a strange kinda cafe!
