the ever popular suggitts in great ayton right opposite the tranquil stream, the one thing you must do is have a legendary ice-​cream which are absolutely gorgeous very small café inside as well, sometimes on a summers day you can wait 20 – 30 minutes to be served that shows how popular suggitts is

Suggitts is probably the most popular place within Great Ayton. It consists of a small sweet shop and a café based around a kind of 50’s/60’s design. The sweet shop is one of the more old fashioned ones with large jars of sweets on display where you ask for the a quarter of them etc. There’s also a more moden selection of sweets just on the counter in front of you. The main attraction however of Suggitts really though has to be the icecream. On a hot day, the queue is literally out the door heaving with cyclists and young families queuing for 99’s and ice cream wafers.
The café part is small and usually very busy. There’s a selection of hot drinks and scones on offer as well as some other small café bits.
I would recommend this to anyone, I have cycled up many a time stopping for a rewarding ice cream on the way home. It’s ideal for cyclists, families, young couples and old couples. And if you head just over the road and over the river, there’s a walk you can do while you happily munch away on your ice cream. Beware parking is free but Great Ayton is a disc zone in parts. Just be prepared to withstand the queues for this hugely popular shop and you’ll get what you waited for.

As you walk into Suggitts you will feel you are stuck in a time Warp This is a lovely little Retro 60’s style coffee bar on one side with a well stocked old fashion sweet shop on the other, filled with bottles of the sweets that you will remember from your childhood days. From cola bottles to pear drops, to special combinations of chocolate all waiting to be weighed out.
The locally made ice cream is so lovely and you can have cones with 99’s and lovely chocolate wafers. Be ready to queue outside during summer months as many people come to the little village of Great Ayton, with its flowing small stream especially to have an Ice cream. They then sit over the road to look at the River Leven and perhaps watch young children feeding the ducks.
Suggitts is frequented by lots of cyclists who stop for refreshments on route.
During busy times the owner of Suggitts who lives over the road opens his field for extra parking spaces.
