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

A truly lovely little spot in otley! The pancakes are very delicious and service was prompt and polite. The coffee was excellent as well! Would definitely recommend the apple crumble pancake; so tasty!

Very tasty paninis, I had the tuna melt & my mum had the cheese & pickle, we both really enjoyed them. We also treated ourselves to the sweet pancakes, I had the lotus biscoff pancake & my mum went for the classic golden syrup, and they were so yummy & freshly made. It was great value for money because the portion sizing were generous! The service was super quick & the guy serving us was so friendly & lovely throughout. Highly recommend giving this little place a visit!

Mr Blinoks is Ideally situated beside the bus station and within the orchard gate. On a visit to Otley one morning I checked it out for the full english breakfast pancake. The apparent size of the pancake was slightly deceptive as although it seemed small it was deliciously filling. Julia delivered a very efficient and friendly service. All in all Blinoks is a pleasant café to visit, especially if you're waiting a long time for the bus.

What a great find just behind the bus station. Great food....not just pancakes, lovely service and a friendly atmosphere. All this and a very affordable menu.. Thanks.

Perfect bar, perfect atmosphere. Great selection of beer, Marcus and the staff know their stuff inside out and always have great suggestions. Such a welcome addition to Otley and now probably my local, even if I walk passed 8 pubs/bars before I get to it!

Good range of beers covering a variety of styles. A concise and well considered offering of wine and cocktails. Small but well laid out seating. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Excellent venue for the beer and drinks aficionado or just meeting.

Top place. They have a great range of beer - cask, keg, bottled beers (inc Belgian beers). They avoid the usual mass market beers you get elsewhere - and instead have a fantastic selection from smaller producers. Nice atmosphere on a Saturday night. Strongly recommend for anyone who likes good beer.

Lovely service and delicious iced coffee at very reasonable prices!

Excellent and fantastic value

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

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!

This place is such a gem!! We have tried their usual menu during the day which is great, but once a month they do an evening supper club and it is OUT OF THIS WORLD!! We went this month and I have no idea how, but the corn was the most incredible thing I have ever tasted in my life. I literally haven't stopped thinking about it and it was only corn. All of the courses were to die for, and it was all vegan!!!! Such an amazing place. Only downside is it's pretty inconvenient to get there by public transport :(, definitely recommend car or taxi

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.

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

Lovely new cafe in Otley, took my little girl, and had a really nice play area, clean baby changing facilities, children’s menu, and a really welcome new addition to Otley. It’s really relaxing as children can get play whilst you eat, and get a coffee. Also low lighting and designed to be autism friendly. Thank you !

Such a lovely welcoming soft play. They do incredible parties too. We highly recommend.

Excellent soft play area, with good food and friendly staff. Their after school club on the first and last Friday's are an excellent idea

Great staff, my Granddaughter lo es the roll play area most soft play places don't have neat touch the kids love it. Meals for both adults and kids are good. Highly recommend. A nice place for an afternoon etc

Exceptional soft play area for all abilities. Changing facilities prepared for all stages of potty training and spare disposables for women and children (thank you!). Amazing play area for children of all abilities and great staff. Will be returning and recommending to others.

Lovely freshly made goods, lots of rotation of things to choose from. Often a queue but worth the wait, gives time to work out what to buy! Almond croissants are great (look out for variations like the cherry version)

Finally got an almond croissant and WOW it was definitely the best I've ever had. I've been to this bakery every time I come to Leeds to visit my daughter at uni but they are always sold out so today I got up early and managed to get one, it was so worth the wait. I've been trying to find one as good as Gails bakery in London ever since I had one a few years ago and nothing came close until today this is even better!! I will definitely be back when I'm in Leeds again.

we (myself and my partner) visited underground bakery for the first time today as we had been wanting to visit for a while. It did not disappoint! The staff were so lovely, happy to speak and chat to us. We bought an almond croissant, cruffin, sourdough loaf and two coffees. It was very inexpensive, well priced and the portions were huge. They were absolutely delicious; so good that we went back for seconds. I would definitely rate this as our favourite bakery in leeds. We can't wait to go back and try more. New year, new pastries :)

Brilliant little bakery with top staff. Great selection of fresh goodies, I had the best gooey chocolate brownie & a hot chocolate to go & a sourdough bloomer for later- delicious!!!

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

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.

Food was amazing! Service was great and had a lovely conversation with the staff. what a lovely hidden gem, cosy and warm perfect for a cold autumn day great place to stop off for a delicious breakfast before a jam packed day !!! Best place in otley !

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.

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 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).

Very nice old school cafe. A time capsule, would highly recommend a visit if you’re in or passing through Otley.

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.

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.

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!

This is a beautiful little cafe in the middle of town. Really super food and cafe baked right there on the premises. Very friendly people and a great ambience.
