Good cafes at:
Monyash (The Old Smithy) - does tea by the pint!
Elton - (just opposite the church) I highly recommend the bacon and mushroom baps.
Flagg - (east end of the village) always highly rated by the local CTC lot.
Bakewell - (Parakeet Diner, The Square, DE45 1BT) another CTC-friendly stop. Park your bikes down the side (gate on the right as you face the cafe).
Pubwise, The George at Alstonefield does good food + ale.

Rides? Personally, I'd not bother with the Snake, too much traffic. There's loads of quiet lanes, all with beautiful views.
Do you like challenging climbs?
Winnats Pass has a well-deserved reputation, from there I'd recommend the descent round the back of Mam Tor into Edale.
Either direction through Monsal Dale will give your legs a work out.
As for routes, have a look here:

Should give you some ideas, even if you don't ride the exact routes.
