Cafe Impromptu

Café Impromptu is a dog-friendly café in Ashbourne where dogs are welcome inside, making it an easy stop for coffee, cake and lunch without the tied-up-outside nonsense. Set in the heart of this Derbyshire market town, it's ideal for indoor resets after a cobbled-street wander.

Expect good coffee, tempting cakes, light lunches and a warm welcome for both humans and dogs. Water bowls, a floor mat for muddy winter days, free treats, and the occasional breakfast sausage keep tails wagging.

It's the sort of place where a simple café stop turns into a longer pause once everyone is comfortable and the dog has settled under the table like they pay rent.
