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

Wow what a warm welcome! The coffee was the best I've had in a very long time. Very smooth and rich. Can't wait to try the food. The menu looks so interesting and tasty. It might take a few visits to decide which will be my favourite. Wishing Rochelle and her family every success.

I had the Nautical Harmony Blend. Hands down, best tuna mayonnaise I've ever had. Lovely staff - nothing is too much trouble. Come and meet Harper the dog, she is gorgeous! 😍❤️ xx

A great use of the former bank which gives it a nice vibe. The food offering is a bit different to other cafes and the quality is good with plenty of choices for teas and coffees. They will have to improve their speed of service but I’m sure that will come in good time. Will definitely return.

If you find yourself in Holmfirth, make sure to visit this fantastic new cafe — you won’t be disappointed! They’ve absolutely nailed everything, from the stylish decor to the welcoming atmosphere. The drinks selection is excellent, with something for everyone, and the service is top-notch. Whether you're looking for a relaxed afternoon with friend or a quick brew with work colleges, this place has got it all. A true gem in the heart of Holmfirth!

We had our breakfast here on Sunday and we enjoyed it a lot. The atmosphere was great, the staff and service excellent, and the food was gorgeous. I couldn't recommend more!Keep up the good work!

Lovely, fun staff and delicious food. Always enjoy a visit to this delightful coffee shop.

We went for the first time today but it wont be the last. Food and service were excellent and to top it all my husband left his reading glasses. Without hesitation they said they would post them to us without charge for postage! That sums up the quality of service from this very busy little cafe. Top marks and thank you for everything. X

Feta cheese and hot honey French toast was new to us and we both loved it! Average coffee, not amazing not bad. Friendly staff, quick service.

The coffee flavour was inconsistent between large latte (perfect, strong and aromatic) and regular latte (milky). The regular one was drinkable just not fab. Quite a few cakes on display. Nice atmosphere and a large assortment of crafty/artistic items to get inspiration from or buy. Entrance is from the main street, free customer parking is at the rear and cafe is dog friendly inside. Nice service. Will come again.

Lovely food. Somewhere that bakes cakes and scones that are home-made, so not overly sweet. Unlike the ultra-processed, uniformly pretty but deadly ones you get in most coffee shops. Selection of savoury, hot food that is healthy enough to be guilt-free but not that healthy you don't actually want to eat it. A real balancing act. Great customer service too. Sells locally made gifts so helps keep money in the community. Parking behind the mill.

Amazing place to stop for a drink and a sit down, staff are really friendly and the atmosphere is great, and quite unique too

LOVE IT my new all-time fav Fancy a good coffee surrounded by art and plants? WHICH YOU CAN BUY? yes, yes you do. The girls working the day I went were so lovely and I stayed probably an hour, browsing their HUGE selection of items from different crafts for sale and the back has items too to see. Definitely worth the visit! You won’t regret it.

Excellent atmosphere and lovely people.

This is a lovely little café with friendly, down-to-earth staff. They do a nice range of snacks, and it's encouraging to find a hospital which still has an independent café, instead of an outlet belonging to a certain exorbitant global chain which is best left unnamed.

Lovely latte, looking out over the view

Just love it here, Mel and her husband work so hard

I don't usually do online reviews, but this place is exceptional 👌🏻 coffee roasted and made with real passion and knowledge. It's fantastic, and the owners take the time to really understand what type of coffee you enjoy, even when you don't know how to articulate it! Much kudos for xmas presents is really down to these guys🫡 And if you're staying in for a coffee, there's no better place in Holmfirth to chew the fat, dry out, unwind and soak up the chilled atmosphere from collective like minded folk you'll be sat next too. I cant rate this place highly enough. Very, very good! 👍🏻

BEST coffee in Yorkshire! You heard it here first. I get all my beans here for DIY coffee midweek. (Once you go Yellow Bear, you never go back). Perfect spot also if you head into the shop for a nicely brewed coffee by Fran who selects and hand roasts all the coffee served here.

We've been today(the ones from Azerbaijan) and got iced coffees which were absolutely lovely! The guy is very friendly, welcoming, keeps everything tidy and makes high quality coffee. Glad that we decided to pop into this coffee shop, will definitely come back each time we visit Holmfirth!

BEST coffee in Yorkshire. Lovely spot, cosy space, can't wait til the upstairs is open!!! Shout out to the barista Fran 🙌🙌🙌 they roast their own beans and have a great selection. 👍

What an absolute hidden gem of a coffee shop. Lovely darkwoods coffee being served, very friendly staff. A lovely peaceful coffee shop, somewhere I’d definitely come again. Thank you!

We absolutely love this place!!! Great coffee, friendly staff, beautiful dried flowers, and in our opinion the best food in the area. (The kimcheese toastie is out of this world delicious.)

Please go here. The place is so good. The food is super tasty and they make it look amazing. Went here many times and it never disappoints. The coffee tastes lovely and the cups are compostable!! And they had good gluten free options! The only issue is that the place is kinda tiny even if it looks beautiful. This only really became an issue with their bathroom which is super cramped. The only other issue that i could kinda argue is that the place felt very LGBT. The staff all presented very strongly as such, they should be producing skittles with all that rainbow, If they were a tv theyd be LGTV+, if the amount of zest in that room was captured it’d be a whole citrus orchard. If that’s an issue to you it’s your loss but know its there. +theyre dog friendly

Absolutely love this place. Me and my boyfriend have been there a few times now, very reasonably priced, excellent coffee they have darkwoods and the service is wonderful. we have brought his family a few times aswell and they all enjoy it. The food selection is just perfect for lunch and my partner keeps coming back for the salmon sandwich.

Warmed up in here mid bike-ride We couldn't have had a better lunch break! The staff were so lovely: they couldn't have done enough for us, checking we had enough blankets and warm drinks. The upstairs was cozy like a homely living room, very quaintly decorated, and the toasties we had filled the spot! Thanks a lot Rubbles, highly recommended

Quirky cafe with upstairs seating as well as downstairs. They have homemade jewellery and other items for sale as well. I liked the pictures of book titles in the toilet. They also had sanitary items and nappies which is a nice touch. Small but tasty menu. We had the Greek salad and quiche. They finish serving food at 2pm. Friendly staff. They also do a breakfast menu until 11.30am.

Four of us and two dogs had lunch all spot on and recommend the hash, biscuits and water for the dogs and gluten free options Nice little find will return definitely thank you

Gorgeous place. Cosy, affordable and delicious food and drink. Portion sizes are fabulous! You get a lot of tea. Decaf option was available too which was amazing ! I recommend their brownies and scones - they provide butter , cream and jam in separate pots for you to use! Amazing customer service- super friendly , affable and sweet :) thank you both 🖤

Lovely place, full of last of the summer wine pictures and ornaments. The staff are very nice. The breakfast I had was great, I went for the big batty special.

The Wrinkled Stocking Tea Room is nothing short of a hidden gem. From the moment we stepped in, it was clear this charming tea room prides itself on providing both exceptional food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The food was an absolute treat—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Whether you’re enjoying a light lunch or indulging in a decadent afternoon tea, the flavors never disappoint. What truly elevated our experience, however, was the exceptional service we received from Katie. She went above and beyond in making our visit memorable. Not only was she attentive and friendly, but she also took the time to share recommendations for local sights, including tips on filming locations from Last of the Summer Wine. Her passion for the area was infectious, and it added such a personal touch to our experience. As if that wasn't enough, my father was celebrating his birthday, and Katie surprised him with a cake and a candle—such a thoughtful and heartwarming gesture that truly made the day feel special. The Wrinkled Stocking Tea Room is more than just a café; it’s a place where good food and outstanding service come together to create a memorable experience. Whether you're a local or visiting the area, this delightful tea room is a must-visit. We will definitely be back!

Good prices considering it's association with Last of the Summer Wine. Great Coffee and a nice big Teacake that our Sandwiches came in. Friendly Staff. Highly recommended. Access is at street level from the main road if the stone steps at the riverside are too much for you.

I visited today and had the lemon drizzle cake and coffee which was delicious. I was served straight away and the lady was really nice and polite. She got me a table straight away and brought my cake and coffee over to me. I love the pictures of last of the summer wine are on the walls of the tearoom, it really does add character to the name of the tea room itself. I would definitely recommend this place and I would like to come again, if I'm in Holmfirth again in the near future.

Visited for the first time yesterday and will definitely be going back. It's kind of a quirky place set in what looks like an old mill. The wallpaper and theme is fab, the staff are lovely and the food is gorgeous, all homemade, including their own baked beans. Definitely recommend.

Best afternoon tea in a very long time! Definitely want to come back some day.

Had lunch with a friend and it was my first visit. EXCELLENT! First class. Lovely staff, super food. Loved it.

Not very busy. Mine was nice but my husband's wasn't hot enough. After waiting an hour for it he didn't want to risk sending it back and said it tasted lovely, just cold. Cake was lovely.

I absolutely love this little cafe. Great food and great friendly fast service would definitely recommended.

Brilliant place to eat, cooked breakfast was great, staff were friendly, overall I highly recommend 👍

Lovely breakfast, lovely and clean, thank you. (All I can add is....Tea? 🍵) 😊😅😂

We had the small Breakfast!! It was lovely, poached eggs were perfect, included 2 slices of toast and a lovely coffee. Really good price!!! Excellent service, really friendly 😃
