What a lovely spot!!! Called one cold Thursday afternoon for coffee and cake whilst visiting Ilkley for the first time. Hadn't seen many cafes ( and I refuse to queue outside and pay inflated prices of a certain other cafe in the area!!) when we spotted this by the car park. The cafe was lovely and warm. It is really quite big with some of the tables being out in an old, covered arcade. There were even blankets out here for the more colder days. There are tables for two or four then longer tables for larger groups. The tables and floor were spotless, the staff were welcoming. Our coffee was good and hot and full of flavour and the coffee cake was a proper Yorkshire size!! There are some vegan options - plus ice cream for dogs! And I saw a lady come for take away. It wasn't until I started looking at the boards in the arcade that I realised it was a Community type cafe and I started to take more notice. It was wonderful to see the adults working together! What a fabulous place! So, if it does take a minute or two longer for your food to arrive , don't moan , just think how lovely it is that people with disabilities are being given the opportunity to be trained up for a job! The beautiful young lady that served us couldn't have been more pleasant!! She had a constant smile on her face!! How gorgeous! She looked so proud to be working - and so she should be! Two words of warning - you do need to pay by card ( not a problem to the vast majority of people ) and, I've been told, they sell out of scones quickly on busy days!! So, if you give them a visit remember - There is still some good things happening in this world !❤️❤️❤️ Ps we added £1, as a donation , to our bill and they were so genuinely pleased. We won't miss the £1 but it means a lot to them.

Lovely little cafe, does very nice coffee and we enjoyed our chilli jam and brie on toast for lunch. Seating inside and lots of cakes + tray bakes on offer too

Class cafe around the Center of Ilkley, food is handmade from my knowledge, and drinks are always nice. Staff are friendly and is a nice atmosphere, however did wittiness a bit of a tiff between two groups of women trying to get me and my friends seats when we were trying to leave aha. But all round always been a great experience.

I've been following toast on social media for a while and it looked delicious! Finally managed to get there today and it didn't disappoint - a taste sensation 😋 yummy, thank you. It was also plastic free but hopefully take our own containers next time.

This is a very cosy, friendly cafe in a great location in Ilkley. All four of the dishes at our table were delicious: bean & feta salad, Moroccan lamb wrap, chicken & brie sandwich, and smoked salmon and avo fresh gf bread. I highly recommend lunch there if you're in the area.

We booked our breakfast in advance for 7 (5£ per person to book). We had a separate room which gave us a little bit more privacy and some extra space. Outstanding service, very tasty food and great atmosphere. You can park your vehicle very close if space is available.

My first time ever visiting Betty's and it really was a special treat! The que was around 40 minutes long! But a lovely staff member Laura kept coming out to record who was waiting and how many seats they required. In addition, as we neared the front of the que, she came out with small cups and a pot of super delicious hot chocolate to sip on (it was quite cold outside). She kindly posed for the picture and gave me permission to post on here. My friend and I had the afternoon tea which was delicious- infact, I actually enjoyed the sandwiches more than the cakes as the sandwiches were so sublime. It was super busy inside, quite crowded and as such, quite noisy. Staff were very attentive and polite. Had a lovely lunch here and would definitely return again.

Very busy, even on a weekday, but they had a well organised system. The staff were excellent, paying close attention to detail and giving a very personalised experience. Selection was great and I enjoyed a light lunch with some delicious tea. Well worth dropping in if passing through.

Not much of a queue today but it was busy inside. The food was great staff are polite & friendly. The salmon was delicious and mum had a small fish & chips which is her favourite. My daughter had chicken which was also delicious served within a reasonable time. Tea & coffee always a good cuppa. Well worth a stop off if you’re in the area.

It just feels like a treat coming here. The service is second to none. We had a half hour queue waiting for lunch but it just built the sense of anticipation and when we got our table we were waited on hand and foot. The lunch options were just right. I had a delicious fishcake rosti. The coffee and tea selections are impressive. It feels relaxed and yet special.

My wife and I just had an excellent Friday night takeaway to celebrate Global Champagne Day. We had mezze, a beanburger and a couple of portions of potato wedges. At first I thought £34 wasn't cheap but by the time I'd finished eating, I thought it was an absolute bargain. The food was delicious and abundant. We both really enjoyed the variety and freshness of the food. I'm stuffed and slightly sozzled but we really enjoyed the meal very much. I have no doubt we'll be back. That was one of the best meals cooked by someone else I've had for a while. Restaurant quality food in your own home for only £34. I'm a very satisfied customer.

Favourite cafe in Ilkley and our go to post Saturday morning cinema. Food is amazing,I can't get enough of their falafel or cauliflower pittas, and the staff are so welcoming, friendly and accommodating. Please stay forever!

Staff are kind, place is extremely clean and food is delicious. Vegetarian or not I think anyone would enjoy this cafe. Paid about £11.25 for a veggie breakfast and a drink so pretty decent nowadays. Came around 11 as from what I understand they stop serving at 12 for breakfast? And managed to find a window seat table, (great for people watching!). All round good experience.

Fabulous little cafe serving vegetarian and vegan options. Me and my partner come here often when we're in Ilkley, the veggie pakoras and pitta are our favourite. The specials change regularly and are also good!

Back for breakfast. Forgotten our order though our fault for not checking earlier this ended up waiting for long time. Once we checked with them, food was served promptly. Poached eggs nicely done. Given the high costs these days, it's understandable that an extra sausage costs £2.2. plates looked quite plain with just what we ordered, poached eggs on crumpets. Think a few grapes or cucumber might liven up the dish a bit. Service is friendly and trey were really apologetic about the forgotten order. Previously: Stopped for quick and light lunch. Got the daily soup (potato with rosemary) which comes with toasted bread (focaccia). Good value and nice seating.

Indoor & outdoor dining. Lovely location in Ilkley. Service was excellent. Food cooked to order, so a little bit of a wait. Reasonable prices. Ilkley is a great town to visit.

This coffee house is located in an alleyway which leads from Brook Street to the main car park in Ilkley town centre. As the weather was good we sat outside. It is table service only so we were annoyed when someone else, who had just arrived got served before us, although we had been waiting for some time. So a star off for the lack of attention from the waiting staff! We both ordered coffees and Focaccia toasties, which came with side salad and potato crisps. Absolutely delicious and easily enough for a lunchtime snack. The prices were reasonable for what you got. So as I said, they need to keep an eye on which customers should be served first, but otherwise very nice.

This is a really lovely cafe in the heart of Ilkley. The staff provided a warm welcome on arrival. On a cold day, it was nice to have a fire burning to warm up. The food is well prepared and tastes great. It's refreshing to see a good children's menu too, with finger sandwiches and fruit bowls available that suited our 3 year old. Highly recommended

A busy but friendly coffee shop set over 2 floors. There’s plenty of food options as well as an extensive choice of teas! We plumped for the lemon and ginger tea which was refreshing. The food came in good time and was freshly made. We saw lots of customers having crepes which we couldn’t manage this time, but will return to try these out!!

Lovely little coffee house. The meal was very well presented (ploughman's) served with very tasty home made chutney. The only thing I would change is I would have turned off the "lift music" that was playing in the background, but I'd certainly rather visit this little coffee house rather than one of the chains in the town.

Christmas Dinner can be a let down however the staff here did really well. The food was tasty and served whilst still nice and hot. Service was quick, as well as friendly. Usually you expect a drop in standards for a christmas meal but they did really well making it a fantastic meal.

Absolutely delightful visit as a family group. Such a warm and welcoming place with beautiful views all around. Child friendly with colouring pages, high chairs and changing facilities.

The Cow and Calf at Ilkley Moor is an absolute gem! Nestled in a gorgeous location, it offers stunning views of the moorland, making it a perfect destination for both locals and visitors alike. The surrounding landscape is truly breathtaking, and the pub is ideally situated to take full advantage of this natural beauty. Parking is convenient with a variety of options available. Whether you prefer to park in the nearby car park or on the verge just outside the pub, you won’t have any trouble finding a spot, even during busy times. The ease of access is definitely a plus for those who might be stopping by after a long hike or simply exploring the area. Although we had already eaten before arriving, it was clear from the menu that the food options are very tempting. The dishes we saw being served looked delicious, and it was a bit of a shame that we couldn’t sample them ourselves. If the food tastes as good as it looks, then it's definitely worth trying on your next visit. We visited the Cow and Calf primarily as a rest stop after a long hike across Ilkley Moor. The pub provided a perfect spot to unwind, enjoy a drink, and take in the views. In our case, a drink and a snack were just what we needed. The atmosphere is welcoming, and it feels like the kind of place where you can truly relax and soak in the surroundings. In summary, whether you’re looking for a delicious meal, a quick snack, or just a place to relax after exploring Ilkley Moor, the Cow and Calf is a perfect choice. I’ll definitely be returning to try the food and enjoy more of what this lovely pub has to offer.

We went there on Saturday lunchtime after a hike in Ilkley Moors. It was busy but we managed to find a table. We only had dessert and a café. They allow dogs in the pub area. The service was prompt and polite. We also had a nice view. I do recommend and would visit this place again.

We really enjoyed today's visit to the garden centre and the cafe. Food and service was excellent. I really recommend that cafe for very tasty, fresh and very well prepared meals. Friendly staff and wave from the chef were just like the cherry on the icing. With pleasure we will go back and explore more from the menu and from the plants as well.

Thank you to Nigel and Michael from Moss & Moor who visited us at Mayfield View Care Home this week to help with our Christmas decorations!

Super homely cafe with a great view. Right on the doorsteps of Cow and Calf rocks, this cafe has everything you need. Pop out tent with a fabulous view of the scenery, whilst retaining warmth and comfort. Beverages are reasonably priced and parking is free. Toilets are clean and decent. Nothing beats hot tea and homemade soup after morning hike in the Yorkshire Moors.

Been a few times the view is epic from here, food is OK but not great a bacon and egg sandwich I had a few weeks ago left something to be desired, bacon was fatty and a bit stringy, with the egg not being runny and a touch over cooked and at the price if I'm being honest it could have been better, not bad just not great, drinks are good tea was fine and coffee is pretty good too, service is good and friendly and as prompt as possible give how many people are waiting obviously, so overall not bad but I've had better.

We visited on a busy Saturday and the owner was so friendly and attentive! We got a coffee and retuned for lunch after our walk and he welcomed us back, we both had a lovely sandwich each and he even gave us a chocolate bar. Such lovely staff, the Italian gent ( we assumed he was the owner ) has a great attitude to life & his business and is a really lovely bloke. Recommend!

A cafe run by an Italian for Yorkshire folk or folk visiting Yorkshire adjacent to a popular car park for the Cow and Calf and Ilkkey Moor...fancy "Betty's" it isn't but if you've just come off the moor in dodgy weather you'll be glad of a sausage roll and cup of hot chocolate then it will hit the spot.
