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

I visited Dandelion Cafe on my first trip to Saltaire and honestly fell in love. A vegan cafe, beautifully decorated with artwork and plants, next to a yoga studio, which is dog friendly… tick, tick, tick, tick! One of the lovely ladies at the cafe even brought some water over for my dog, Wilf. My brunch was delicious (the cakes are to die for) and very reasonably priced. I loved the vibe at Dandelion and will definitely return when I’m next in Saltaire. Thank you again!

An excellent cafe hidden down a side street on the border of Shipley and Saltaire with a yoga studio underneath. The food is all vegan. We ordered a mezze platter and as all the food was prepared on site and fresh it wasn't the cheapest, but totally worth it. We enjoyed every type of food in the platter and some items were outstanding. Will absolutely be going again. Only criticisms would be to rethink the drink choices a bit and possibly the seating as I can imagine some people may prefer cosy tables for two rather than larger tables. Accessible with a lift. Wish I'd had a piece of the cake!

The service was outstanding! Catered for my mum who is vegan but also has black pepper allergy which meant they created her a bespoke meal. Food was very nice and whilst I’m not personally vegan I thoroughly enjoyed! Full of flavour, colourful and beautifully presented! Thank you for being so patient!

Amazing vegan food which is a short walk from all the touristy stuff to see. Dog friendly and yoga too. Especially recommend the Koran loaded fries!

Fantastic food and friendly service. Always make sure I'm really hungry when I go! Their smash burger is the best ever and the creme brulee donuts are amazing. Love this place.

Burgers ready within 10 minutes. Crispy fries where you can actually taste the truffle. Loved the complexity of the burger fillings- this is a burger with all the works. Almost Famous used to be my favourite burger place, but Digin's Hut beats it. Benches outside while you wait for your takeaway. £12 for the 'Rate my Takeaway beef and £10 for the pulled pork burger (which is probably my favourite), Doughnut was thick and heavy.

Yum! We've visited digins hut 3 times now and every time we've had amazing quality food that leaves us feeling stuffed. Generous toppings on all burgers. Melt in the mouth. We ordered an iced latte and the staff nipped to the shop for ice. Nothing is too much trouble. The creme Brulee donut is a must have! Recommended to friends and family and will defo be back.

A real unctuous treat which was truly sublime! Highly recommend trying the smash burger! Very affordable price which included chips too. Sat outside of the bench provided

Went in with the family for lunch. Super friendly staff, really made us feel welcome. The food was great and really cheap. We’ll definitely be going back.

A wonderful place. The food and staff are amazing - highly recommended!

Lovely family always friendly, attentive and food is always on point. Would recommend to anyone. best caffe around 👍

Definitely the best breakfast around. The food was delicious and hot. Very nice atmosphere. You have to try tge MILKSHAKE! 😋

Best full english breakfast I've had in years. Sausages and bacon from Binns butchers in Saltaire. Unfortunately only open at weekends 9 - 2pm. Plenty of parking. You will not be disappointed. A fantastic find

Hmmmm, coffee good, cakes not so great, service slow, staff very apologetic, outside view great, inside smelled too much of cooking for me. Overall would I go again, yea if passing for a takeaway coffee.

Had the big breakfast wow local sausage and bacon from q guild butchers binns of saltaire even the beans and tomatoes were good quality and the staff were really friendly and had a good bit of banter with them especially when they found out my son works at binns.I know a good breakfast and it's a 10/10 from me ps there is another bacon and 2 more spam hiding as I didn't have the black pudding and the 2 hot toast are out of sight

Best breakfast I've had in the local area, way better than anything available in Saltaire! All top quality local produce and made fresh - highly recommend

Excellent community cafe with delicious, good value food. Highly recommend.

The staff were very welcoming & a pot of tea was only £1! Obviously, lots going on, as a community hub -really warm & welcoming feel to the place.

Excellent food...Nice relaxing atmosphere.Friendly, pleasant service It's just a lovely place to visit....!!

Very Friendly staff .Good place for meeting people and plenty of activities,also serves meals,coffees and cakes .

Lovely brunch again here - it’s my new favourite place locally - had the spicy sausage special very fresh and tasty. Service improving - just need to keep eyes on customers arriving to welcome and for them needing anything!

Went here for my wife's birthday dinner food was great fast to come out and tasted great the atmosphere of the place was perfect not to overly busy as someplace are the only problem is finding it have to park up in the apartment bit we're it is located a odd place but it works after 5pm it's booking only which helps keeps the feel of the place. I would highly recommend I will be going back there again in the future. Price are very reasonable specially for a 3 course meal for 2 plus drinks about £ 69

I waited all week for Thursday to arrive (closed evenings Monday-Wednesday) so I could experience the food after a recommendation. The waiter welcomed me, I was worried there wasn't space as it was busy but thankfully there was. The menu is fairly short which is good, makes selection easier. Opted for starter of fishcakes and noodles main. Had Thai the elsewhere the day before and no sooner had I placed my order the starter was there!! I questioned the freshness there. Copper & Moss took an acceptable amount of time for the starter and the wait wasn't dissapointing, fresh and flavoursome. I was regularly asked if all was OK, there certainly wasn't a shortage of staff. When I came to the main I was informed they had run out of rice noodles, to be honest they could have probably said nothing as I hadn't paid much attention to what noodles they were, but I appreciated the honesty. I was offered some rice in addition, which I thought a strange combination, but again accepted the gesture, glad I did. The main was outstanding, the flavours were so fresh, having had a cold my taste wasn't at its best but this didn't make me miss the Thai basil flavours and combinations of seasoning making a delicious meal. The extra rice was used to mop up the remaining juices, lovely rice it was too, much appreciated. All very fresh and glad I had the opportunity to experience this meal and great service. Oh and I can't forget the Bloody Mary, after a b####y tough week it was much needed. Thank you.

Great find! Good quality coffee, had a chai latte too which was spot on for my taste. Cakes were excellent and included a gluten free option. Really pleased with everything overall and look forward to coming back, but knocked a star off for food as it wasn't perfect (the panini was a bit over grilled so very crunchy making it hard to eat), the filling was delicious though and plentiful. Lots of outdoor seating and dogs well catered for with water bowls and treats.

Friendly staff, great place to have tea and cake after a walk,

This place is a great stopover for any walkers passing through Hirst Woods or walking along the Leeds & Liverpool Canal. They have convenient opening hours and service + food is great. They welcome any four legged friends too!

A really wonderful place to stroll around looking at nice things for 3-4 hours. A fantastic use of an historic and beautiful industrial business with a very uplifting and important heritage, especially for this part of the world. The video showing the story of what it was and how it became what it is now and why it is a UNESCO site was very moving. So much art and photography to see, choc a block with Hockney works...all for free! The Ian Beesley exhibition was a highlight for me. The antique shop too. The Peace Museum is cool too. Also, probably the biggest building I have ever been in and with lots of original features...The sheer scale is incredible. Be prepared to walk lots.

A fabulous place to visit; the building is home to art, food, craft, history and more. Any Hockney fans will have a wonderful time and there are many other artists to appreciate. Plentiful parking, good range of food options. Plentiful free parking and access via public transport is easy. Highly recommended and I will be back!

We had a fabulous afternoon visiting Salts Mill! We heard that David Hockney had a flowers in print exhibition and couldn’t wait to take a look. We had visited the Media museum earlier in the day, so saw some of his artistic talents through his 4 seasons videos filmed through 9 cameras. The mill had 3 floors of interesting arts, plenty of areas to eat and drink and a wonderful book store! There’s plenty of David Hockney related things to peruse/buy! We also watched a video of the history of Salts Mill which was fascinating!

We parked on Caroline Street for £1.50 per hour (able to extend on RingGo app). Queue for food was quite long but we got in early at 11:30 which seemed to beat the queue. Pizzas were amazing! There is another cafe on level 3 if you want to skip the long queue. Exhibits were nice and the activities in the Peace Museum upstairs were great. Only suggestion to management is have some signage for prams/wheelchairs. Accessibility at the two entrances/exits we saw were none existent.

Lovely little place with good quality home made food and a non pretentious atmosphere. Everything is always really tasty. Snowman in today’s coffee was a cute touch!

We were visiting Shipley and found The Bothy whilst walking through after a long train journey. It felt very welcoming and we had the best veggie breakfast we’ve ever had. The stew was also delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Visiting family in Shipley and back to The Bothy. As good as ever warming nourishing stew for me and soup for my wife. Great value for this quality of food. Good on veggie and gluten free, we’ll be back next time we visit the grandkids

This was a great experience. We came here for breakfast on a Sunday. Firstly, it was reasonably priced. The breakfast options also looked great, and the breakfast waffles were absolutely delicious. The cappuccino was also decent. The food arrived quickly too. The chair fabric could probably do with an update as they were a bit worn, but the general atmosphere was good and I’d recommend this place to anyone.

My fiancé and I love this place! A little gem in Saltaire and we are very lucky to have it on our doorstep! The food is lovely and beautifully presented. There is a great selection of drinks available too. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free diets are catered for here. We love it as a coffee shop during the day, but we also HIGHLY recommend visiting on a Friday or Saturday night when it is open until 9pm as a lovely cafe bar - serving various alcoholic drinks ( including the most delicious cocktails!) The Bottomless Quaff ( a bit like a bottomless brunch but in the evening!) can be pre-booked and is an 100% amazing selection of tapas bites and great value for money bottomless drinks……..The decor in here is fabulous and it always feels like we are in some lovely bar abroad- eating our tapas and drinking our cocktails! The owners and indeed the whole team are super friendly and genuinely interested in chatting about your day/evening. Children are made to feel welcome in here and the look on their faces when the milk shakes or waffles come out is priceless. There is a high chair available for little ‘uns and all you have to do is leave your pram/buggy folded up inside the door which is 100% sensible and no big issue. So in a nutshell ……if you are passing through Saltaire you simply must visit The Quaffery!

I'd been meaning to try this cafe for a while as it looks pretty cool from the outside. The food was lovely and the turmeric chai was outstanding ❤️ Busy little place & I can see why.

Great customer service as soon as you enter. Staff are warm and welcoming. Inside is decorated lovely and has a good atmosphere. My partner ordered a panini, unfortunately this was very greasy and he didn't enjoy it. I had a Belgian Oreo waffle which was delicious. We definitely would try again as it could've just been a one off 😊
