The Best Cafes in Bingley, 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!

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!

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.

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!

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 :)

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!)

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....

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 :)

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!

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.

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

Lovely food, great atmosphere and warm service. Would highly recommend, especially for parents with young children.

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

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.

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

Quite an extensive menu and the staff very helpful. Food very nice. Tables cleaned down and the place was clean too. Well worth a visit

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!

Met up with a friend here for a very long chat on a Sunday morning. Loved the tea timer! Coffee was great too, and a very good toasted tea cake, although the breakfasts also looked very tempting! Very friendly service, chilled atmosphere. Highly recommend if you’re in Saltaire

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 😊

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!

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.

Scoffs is a great place. The food is spot on, if your grabbing something cooked, then it's always done perfectly. The confectionary is delicious, with a nice little range of items to pick from. There's a huge menu to choose from and all at great prices. They do prefer cash, but that's never a problem as there's a cash machine next door. There's convenient parking too. Highly recommend stopping in!

Got a spam and egg, 2 big squares of spam, filled out the teacake, and a runny fried egg. Didn’t get robbed as well, good price for a great sandwich! 10% off for tradies aswell, 👍

First time calling will deffo be back food and service brilliant

Great tasting BBQ chicken burger and very nice and crispy chips!

I love this hidden gem. Chilled vibe and the BEST cakes EVER!!!

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!

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.

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 :)

Visited a couple of times and I enjoy it each time. Food is lovely, cakes look amazing (though I've never had the pleasure to try them.. maybe next time!) Coffee is great too. The ladies are very friendly and polite. My grandparents are regular visitors and they're looked after each time too. A lovely place to meet for a coffee and would definitely recommend it !😁

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. ☺️
