The Best Cafes in Arthington, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom (2025)

Great Turkish eggs, and a generous avocado on toast with extra eggs. Tucked away behind a wedding venue, across from some beautiful woods for a walk or run, this is a perfect spot for refreshment. The food is really quite excellent, but it's a shame the tea comes only by the cup; no pots.

Unbelievable food. Like you would never imagine the standard of food and presentation to be this high for small bites on a Sunday afternoon. Quick service and friendly staff too. They got everything right. Don’t hesitate just try it for yourself, absolutely the best cafe I’ve been to in a long time. Thank you for such an amazing lunch ❤️

Avocado on sourdough with beetroot hummus and vine tomatoes. Superb quality, very tasty and filling. Large portion for me. Cakes are brilliant, lots of choices. Really enjoy this venue, staff are quick to respond, providing a very pleasant atmosphere for everyone. Oh yes, and the music is rather good too, adds to the ambience! Long may it continue. Very well run establishment.

Gorgeous inside and out! The breakfast can be vegan or vegetarian, so many lovely cupcakes and sweets too! Also dog friendly!

Called in today had a lovely welcome. We had breakfast:- eggs on toast and full English breakfast which where delicious 😋. The staff were very friendly services was excellent. Very reasonablely priced too... Being dog friendly was a great plus for us. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be returning 😊

Called for a drink before an appointment today. Greeted by a cheery host. I had a spam and egg sandwich. Absolutely gorgeous. Will definitely return at somepoint. Reasonable prices as well. Thank you

Stopped for brunch. Had small breakfast. Sausage, bacon, beans, mushrooms, choice of eggs, tomatoes, hash brown and toast.Pot of tea. We'll cooked to order. Fair price.

I love this café and wish I could visit more often! The staff are always so welcoming and friendly, and the food is not only delicious but also beautifully presented. Even when I get takeaway, it’s thoughtfully packaged. Most recently, I tried the Christmas sandwich and some takeaway cakes, and they were both amazing. I’ve also done one of their bottomless brunches, which was such a great experience. I’d definitely do it again! It’s so nice having something like that locally without needing to head into town

Absolutely wonderful little cafe on the high street. Great food, great coffee and always high quality service. I last went in there with my family (and a few prams!) and the owner was so accommodating and made sure she could squeeze us in. She brought over some colouring pens for the little ones and the box of toys are a lovely touch as it kept them entertained so we could enjoy our coffees! Keep up the good work!

Amazing coffee, cakes and hot food! Always so welcoming and happy to accommodate our toddler who absolutely loves it here. Whether we’re grabbing coffee to go or sitting in, we’re always impressed! The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and go above and beyond to make sure everything is just right. The best coffee shop in Yeadon for sure!

Quiet little cafe with lots of menu selection. Surprised at how good quality the food is for the price (and the reason it gets 5*). Would definitely come back again. Service was really friendly.

Made hanging around ages waiting for a bus very bearable, lovely coffee

Delicious coffee, and lovely, friendly service. Was pleasantly surprised to find a range of dairy free milks available too- so it's great if you have an allergy/intolerance or if you just prefer not to drink dairy. Had a beautiful iced coffee this morning. Extremely good value for money- much cheaper than the same at Costa/Starbucks etc. Will definitely be going back!

Lovely service and delicious iced coffee at very reasonable prices!

Best cup of coffee in Otley! Delicious ice creams in summer 🍦 very reasonable prices

A lovely and quaint cafe. Decor distinctly from the 80s, a period I am very fond of. We ordered a small breakfast each and wait was a bit longer than a typical cafe but it was worth it. All cooked from fresh not kept under a heat lamp. It was probably the best bacon I have had for a long time. Not very many tables but very busy. Prices very reasonable.

Great little cafe. The food is well cooked and presented, and the cafe is really well run. I had a small breakfast which was £7, and included tea and a slice of toast. Very satisfying, I ate every mouthful and I was still full hours later.

I stopped in Otley on a trip to Morecambe. I had a walk round the town, partly because I was looking for somewhere to have breakfast. I saw this place and it was ideal. The breakfast pictured is the £6.40 one on the menu. One of the best breakfasts and cafes I've been to (and I go to quite a lot).

Lovely little cafe, with a bit of retro feel to it, food was cooked just how I like it, did not have to wait too long a everything was freshly cooked. we went in 2 days in a row, and the young lady serving us remembered how we liked our food cooked. We will be going there when next back in Otley. I can not fault this place, good food, good service and good atmosphere.

I had an outstanding experience yesterday at Olive and Fig. I came with my 8 month old to meet a friend with her smaller baby for food and drinks. The two ladies who were working front of house were absolutely outstanding. I don't want to sound dramatic, but it was the best customer service I've ever had! First, they updated us on the timings for our coffees as a couple tables had ordered hot drinks at the same time but they still came very quickly and were delicious. We were then given the heads up that food would take about 20 minutes, again because of multiple tables ordering at the same time but it came all together, hot and delicious! The bacon was gorgeous with minimal fat. They clearly use local ingredients! Now... I mentioned the babies. Mine is going through some sort of crisis (not really but she now screams). So, I took her upstairs to save the ears of the other diners after one of the ladies helped me put her into her carrier noticing her leg was askew. I'm not used to my baby being so distressed but this week, we'd moved to bottles over breast so I couldn't comfort her using my natural multi tool and just felt like a brand new mum again. One of the staff members came outside to ask if she could help with holding her or anything. I was so grateful for her offer and took her up on it so I could pay and pack up. My baby then fell asleep in her arms! She continued to tell me to take my time and made me feel so looked after (as well as my baby!). I took the opportunity to go to the toilet and forgot sanitary products and just accepted I'd have to change later on but then (are these people angels?!?) saw they had sanitary products by the sink!! I could have cried in happiness. Also, they use hand cloths to dry hands instead of dryers or paper towels which is not only the most hygienic but the most eco friendly! Anyway, my husband came back from his Grandma's memorial to a quiet scene of me packing with the most kind hearted lady holding our sleeping bub. The other lady was so kind too and asked a few times if I wanted my food packed to take away recognising I wasn't able to eat a lot of it. They were both pure hearted angels. Thank you for saving the day ❤️ Side note, my friend was dairy free and was able to get what she needed with ease. She was offered dairy free butter too and the choice of having it on the toast or on the side, which was a great touch.

Nice restaurant tucked out of the way in Otley. The decor was more of a living wall with painted areas, which gave it a refreshing feel. The staff gave us time to view the menu, although on this occasion we only had drinks. Prices were very competitive. Hopefully, we'll be back to try the food menu.

We had brilliant breakfast and coffee. We had egg stack which was absolutely delicious 🤤 pancakes were really nice too. Highly recommended!

We visited yesterday for lunch and ordered a 'Chocolate overload' filled croissant, Chicken gyros, Salmon and cream cheese bagel, all of which were delicious and beautifully presented. Friendly staff, great service and a lovely atmosphere

Wow, uber quirky place. Flap Jack is off the map, you must try it. If in Otley, do your taste spuds a favour and call into Bloomfield Square cafe

Carrot cake was smashing and the Coffee is amazing. Loved the decor and music and staff were very cheery . Will definitely become a regular!

An oasis of loveliness in this crazy world. I like to bring my mam here for toasted teacakes and refreshing beverages. The atmosphere is fabulous and you can feel that the place is run with true love. xx

Lovely little independent cafe on the bridge. Warm welcome from the new owners and a delicious, very reasonably priced and super fresh bacon roll. Saved our day as had really struggled to find somewhere for breakfast. Very best of luck to you with this new venture.

Excellent freshly cooked hot sandwich, good ingredients well cooked. Will definitely be back

Lovely little cafe. The bacon sandwiches and the red velvet muffins are amazing. The new owner is really nice. Would recommend to anyone in the Otley area.

Lovely people! I just stopped during my ride because I was flagging and they filled up my water bottle and even sorted me out a boiled egg! It's a beautiful spot there by the river, do yourself a favour- go get an ice pop and have a little rest! Dx

Amazing place, staff are so welcoming and friendly and have a little giggle with you. Food here is just lovely well worth every penny.

Staff made us feel welcome as soon as we arrived and gave the dog a treat , the food was delicious, big breakfast for the Win!

Lovely spot run by some lovely people, coffee was outstanding and food was delicious. We stopped here on a whim and will definitely be back.

Oh my goodness I cannot recommend this place enough. I promised my boy afternoon tea and I stupidly didn’t book anywhere so I was ringing around places like a headless chicken. When they answered they said they can’t do afternoon tea as they have run out of scones but if we went they would put something together for us and they did! It was special and amazing, the bread was soft and my little 2 year old who is a fussy eater LOVED the food. The little sandwiches were so yummy and the ham was really good quality. Honestly the atmosphere in this place is lovely, a home from home feel. SUPER friendly staff. You can tell they really love what they do and appreciate their customers. I will be booking an afternoon tea again shortly!

Lovely little cafe & tearoom with very reasonably priced, tasty food. Clean and tidy (incl loo) with quirky decor and friendly staff who still managed to smile in very hot summer heat. We'd definitely return.

It was full inside, always a good sign. So we sat outside, it was a bit chilly. The coffee was lovely and the cake was delicious, we will be back.
