Cake is our thing!

With owner, Dawn, also the owner of Enchanted Pantry, it's no wonder our cake counter is filled with beautiful sweet treats! Join us for delicious homemade cupcakes, cookies, traybakes and biscuits.

And don't forget to try our best-selling Bakewell Slice, Brownies and Homemade Scones. They're popular for a reason!

Signature Slices

Can we tempt you with a slice of our Ruffles Signature Layer Cake?

Our favourite thing is to design and create new show-stopping layer cakes each week. The perfect way to stop, relax, and enjoy the moment when life is busy.

Good To Go...

In a hurry? No worry!

If you're grabbing a coffee on the go, or need lunch to take back to your desk, then most of our menu is available to takeaway.

Just ask at the counter and we'll do the rest.

Let's do things differently...

At Ruffles, we like to do things a little differently.

Whether that's our hot chocolate made from chocolate curls melted into warm milk, or serving our homemade fudge or shortbread with your drink, we want to create moments of joy and give you an experience to remember.

Lovely Lunches

Join us in our stunning café for a beautiful light lunch, beyond the ordinary coffee shop menu.

Choose from our delicious Crumpet Stacks, Sourdough Toasties, Smashed Avocado Bagels, and so much more...

  • Charming teashop

    “Absolutely charming teashop. The cake was the best I've ever tasted!! And just gorgeous decoration and coordinating furniture and crockery. A lovely mother and daughter run place. Best place for a cuppa and cake and to watch the world go by at MH. 5 stars.” – Mary

  • Elegant

    “Amazing little cafe, right in the heart of Market Harborough!! This cozy cafe has a fantastic atmosphere, great service, and delicious food. The coffee is top-notch, and they have a mouthwatering selection of cakes. My 5yr old particularly enjoyed the slices of cakes that were ‘bigger than his head’! The staff are always friendly and welcoming, and the interior decor is beautiful. If you're in Market Harborough, I highly recommend checking out Ruffles - you won't be disappointed!” – Ben
