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

This place is so much nicer than the pretentious cafe over the road that asked us on spec if we had reservations! Delusions of grandeur methinks. In contrast the Craft House is very grounded. Great coffee, and they do lots of artsy activities. Excellent egg dishes. End report.

Lovely food from an excellent menu. Attentive and friendly staff. Just wish they had a better herb teas selection, no camomile, which is a good option for those wishing to avoid both caffeine and tannins. Very busy today so very noisy but a very good place to meet and eat.

Fantastic quality food, with a talented chief & friendly staff. Lots of loyal regulars too as evidence of this. Regular turnover of art created by a local artist that's for sale on the walls. Promoter of Art practice through creative workshops. Busy most of the time which is further proof of how good this place is. Most important for me is that it is dog friendly and caring staff who get to know you by name. Accessible entrance and toilet which is always clean. A lovely place for coffee, breakfast or lunch.

This cafe is really good. The staff are very friendly and the food is lovely. The bacon sandwich came in lovely soft bread and well done bacon just how I like it. The kids menu is good and not expensive. Great coffee too. Highly recommended

The Loft is an all.time favourite. The staff are friendly, the food is good. They are busy for a reason 👍🏻 All round best place in bingley and surrounding areas

Amazing, customisable breakfast (I swapped out toast and beans for egg and bacon and was asked if I'd like more than one piece of extra bacon...) Great quality of food, staff super-friendly, solid coffee...and despite the fact that I don't eat cake, the selection of clearly handmade cakes were incredibly tempting... An absolute delight! Thank you!

It's a really nice place to come for a bite to eat. Staff are friendly and polite. Not too expensive at all

Very tasty full English breakfast. The staff are all lovely. The cafe is clean and there's a nice WC. Plenty of seating upstairs too.

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!

We’ve visited twice In the last two weeks which speaks for itself really. A beautiful, welcoming cafe with a fantastic vegan menu, that also caters for gf diets. There’s a really nice range of small plates, bigger meals and sharing plates. The coffee is excellent. Dogs are welcome, and our last visit was with a 5 month old baby who was also made to feel very welcome.

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.

Wow, what a place to have close by!! The chicken burger is HUGE, beef burger is juicy and flavoursome, Perfect fries!! Very well priced for tue quality of food and the staff are lovely. We don't need another takeaway now... this is the one!

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

Great for Breakfast butties, bacon/sausage/BEST etc. Meat is supplied by local butchers and all produce is high quality. Also excellent place to eat in a quick lunch butty IE Turkey/Ham Salad sandwich... You can take out or eat in both inside and outside. The prices are very reasonable and comparable to most local sandwich shops. Cake options are available too and I think they have an afternoon tea thing but I haven't tried that personally. It's a family run place so expect service with a smile and a warm welcome :)

Little gem of a tea room! Excellent selection of good priced food. Food excellent quality & portions good too. (3 adults visiting with a dog) Tried their bacon sandwich which was freshly made with plenty of bacon in a soft bap. Coffees made fresh, so we ended up staying long enough for a second round of coffees with cakes (gingerbread man, millionaires shortbread, cornflake tart…..all good value and would easily beat the competition for quality). We’ll certainly be back as there were other good valued meals advertised that we’d like to have tried too. Easily accessible location, and happy to accept dogs (they get as much attention as the humans!)

Stopped off here for a quick lunch and was very pleased, really good prices, nice simple food done well. I had a hot bacon, mushroom and tomato sandwich which was great, and a lovely Manchester Tart - egg custard, jam and coconut, and a can of R Whites lemonade, all for £7. Perfect. Seating in a relaxing, quiet area by the nursery, really friendly staff and service was super. What a little find :)

Lovely Friendly place. Tasty bacon butties,sausage butties,Mmmm. Glad it's just up the road from us. Great atmosphere, if you want a sandwich or Coffee and 🎂 cake... and then a look around the garden Centre. Very helpful advice on plants if needed.. Look forward to seeing you again Georgie....

Tambourine is a brilliant little local coffee shop; a small walk away from the tourist hotspots. It's brilliant because the coffee is excellent. It helps that they serve North Star coffee; but the coffee is well made, swift and hot. The service and whole atmosphere is very friendly. It's a small, clean and welcoming place. The staff made me feel right at home straight away. The only aspect that might put people off is the overlapping conversation. Lots of friendly people in a small place meant I could hear every word of at least four conversations. Don't let that put you off. This is not the place if you're planning a private chat but it's perfect if you want good coffee and to feel like a Saltaire local.

This place is clearly about good coffee. Really high quality, well made and delicious. I also sampled some tahini blondie which was very good. My friend had coffee cake which she said was a little dry but also loved the filter coffee. Lots of people dropping in whilst there, clearly a popular spot and was open at 9am on a Sunday... perfect! On other days appears to be other breakfast items available so will have to revisit to try.

How coffee is supposed to be!! What a breath of fresh air after the few terrible experiences we've had lately. I had a decaf latte, my partner an decaf oat flat white. My latte was perfect (and I don't use that word often!) - not too hot so it still had that gorgeous sweetness to the milk, excellent texture ie not too frothy or too thin, the strength was spot on (nice and strong) and it tasted amazing despite being decaf which can be very hit-and-miss. Super impressed. My partner's coffee was just as good in all those ways. The cheesecake brownie was also insanely good - such a massive piece for the price, so tasty, gooey, chocolatey, with huge slabs of delicious chocolate throughout, best I've ever ever had. My partner's (huge!) peanut butter and jam flapjack was also good, slightly dry but still very very tasty. Vibes inside we're super chill, scandi, zen, hipster, light, clean etc etc - all the stuff we're into. We sat outside on the street as it was such a hot day, lovely place to watch the world go by. Could not recommend more! 10/10.

Recently moved to the area and was desperate to find a new coffee spot in which Tambourine fulfilled perfectly. Very good quality coffee which is consistent. Owner is also a super nice dude alongside everyone who works there especially the blonde lady who’s apparently worked there for a while. Only thing I would suggest is to make it a little warmer on the inside as it’s always so cold (ask the windows which are always dripping in condensation) or perhaps I’m just a wuss..

Popped in on Sunday morning after a camping trip with my lad. Prompt service and the owners were lovely. 2 sandwiches were amazing as was the coffee, and for the price it's amazing value. Will most definitely be visiting again.

The nicest couple and the best cafe around! Bacon sandwich always on point and the fact that Masih remembers everything about you is just amazing! It’s refreshing to see a family run business and I will support them when I can!

Very good quality burger, I had the chicken and beef one. Chips nicely cooked, tasty and not greasy. Obviously they take pride in how they prepare and cook food. The gentleman who served us is very polite and friendly.

Absolutely top bloke. Super friendly and always has a lovely chat with you.

Great coffee and really friendly barista. Great addition to Bingley station!

Coffee is really good and the service is so friendly I often want to buy a coffee even though I don't really need one!

Went to this fabulous tea room on sunday. I have never had soup so tasty. Soreta & all her staff are so accommodating & cant do enough for u. My mum and i took home a lemon meringue tart. Mmmm mmm mmm. Thank u for an extremely pleasant experience. 🩷🩷

What an amazing go to! The best cappucinos, always smooth coffee and consistent. We had afternoon tea and the food was high quality, plentiful and fresh. Mine was gluten free and a large range, big portion and I was stuffed. Highly recommended. My favourite tearoom and relaxed atmosphere. ☺️

All the ladies are friendly, the cleanliness is always kept on top of. Always very accommodating if you wish to order something bespoke or have any dietary requirements where possible. Many regular customers and familiar faces so they are obviously doing something right! Home made cakes, good strong coffee and a nice atmosphere without booming loud music and too much technology ruining conversations. Really lovely addition to independent shops in Bingley which we must support :)

This lovely tea room is a regular highlight of our week. Currently, i’m on maternity leave so it’s my sanctuary when my baby girl is asleep.. it’s a meeting place for me and my friends, especially other mums as it’s pram and child friendly. The menu is fabulous, particular shout out to the breakfasts and the cakes! The staff are all lovely and it’s a great asset to the local community. You see lots of regular faces who come back time and time again as well as people stopping by who are in the area on canal walks.

We celebrated our daughter's birthday here yesterday, and it was amazing! She and her friends had such a great time. The food was delicious, and the staff was super friendly and helpful, making everything run smoothly. It was the perfect spot for a fun and memorable party. Highly recommend it!

Have been a few times but have to say the two staff who served us today were absolutely lovely! I think maybe there are different staff at weekends as I don't often.come midweek but the ladies today were excellent and even put my salad in a goody bag. Great service and lovely food. Thanks

Me and my husband went for breakfast at 12:15. We ordered fried eggs and thick brown toast. With latte and cappuccino along with slice of carrot cake. Everything we ordered was 10/10 Service was excellent 👌 highly recommended
