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

Ordered three pizzas to takeaway this evening and WOW what a treat! Absolutely delicious and amazing service!

Called in for a quick meeting and a coffee, the coffee was really good, they serve grumpy mule here. Flat white was spot on. Lovely and cosy setting, the pastry and food selection looked amazing but I didn't try anything. Nice and clean. Friendly service.

Really nice vibe here, stopped in for coffee during a walk along Huddersfield canal. Beautifully textured milk, nice strong roast. Plus some really very tempting and delicious looking pastries and snacks. The babka scone looked to die for, but I had to resist and will try next time!! Staff were incredibly lovely and told me exactly how everyone pronounces ‘Slaithwaite’

Ordered 2x pizza here, pizzas were delicious not floppy. Caters for vegans with fab vegan cheese on one of the pizzas. Had the pesto pizza and hot honey dip. Fantastic 10/10 recommend

Such a lovely cafe in the middle of Slawit! Friendly service and cute decor, food is so tasty and great value. Lots of treats to buy if you have a sweet tooth! Dog friendly and a feel good ambience 😍

Absolutely gorgeous cafe (that's dog friendly !) so beautifully decorated, and everything (plates, napkins, even the decor in the loo!) was in keeping with the pink theme. Today was our first visit, and most certainly won't be our last. My Mum and I shared a festive afternoon tea for her birthday treat and all I can say is wow! Everything was absolutely devine 😋 . We had 3 layers of gorgeous food. The bottom layer was : Smoked salmon & cream cheese s/wiches. Turkey, stuffing & cranberry sauce s/wiches Wensleydale cheese & cranberry s/wiches. & Roast ham & Yorkshire chutney on a brioche bun. Sausage roll, pork pie, pigs in blankets & mini stilton & caramelised onion quiche plus salad. The second layer was : Christmas tree brownie Mini Clementine posset Gingerbread snowflake biscuit Mince pies Mini candy cane, chocolate coins, 2 festive Santa & snowman chocolates & mini crackers. The third layer was: 2 fruit scones with clotted cream & jam & strawberries. Served with as much tea (or coffee) as you could drink & 2 Xmas crackers. Plus we were given some water & a bowl of dog biscuits for our pooch too. Cannot complain whatsoever, and hopefully it won't be too long before we visit again. Thank you so much ladies! Xx

Fabulous afternoon tea as always Festive take out one this time which was lovely Can't thank you enough for making us an extra one at last minute as my baby brain affected my counting! Highly recommend to anyone for eat in or take out

Came for afternoon tea and it certainly did not disappoint. I arrived early and was greeted with a smile. The table was ready and coffee was served. From start to finish it was 5* service. All the food was fresh and delicious. Would highly recommend.

Had a lovely brunch here with my wife and our friend. Fantastic welcome from the attentive and friendly staff. Menu is broad but not overwhelming, with options for all tastes. Coffee is high quality and made for those who appreciate a very good cup. Food was made by people who care about flavour and pesentation, and you can see and taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients. The service was quick and easy, and felt tended to, but not pressured. Atmosphere is lovely, with super chill music and pleasant decoration. Overall; clean, tasty, sensible prices and lovely people. Will 100% go back.

Brilliant spot to eat. I have been here a couple times recently after going for a walk. First of all the staff are lovely and welcoming. The variety of food is great and i ended up choosing off the specials. I had a Korean pork belly and beef burger which was 10/10, can’t recommend highly enough. I’ve also been before and had the breakfast skillet which is also a great fry up. All the food is well priced and good portions. Thanks

Very much enjoy a lunchtime visit to Nom. It ticks all the boxes. Excellent menu & food, outstanding friendly service, relaxed atmosphere & usually. . . .rather cool music selection playing. Definitely recommend a visit if in the area.

Been 4/5 times and always had a lovely meal- the specials change regularly and always have a good selection. It’s quite a small place so would recommend booking as it’s very popular and does fill up. Very accommodating and friendly staff. The kimchi tofu rice is fantastic and the Italian eggs were great. They also do a lovely pumpkin spiced latte that can be made either standard or iced (good for me as I love iced drinks!) must visit when in slawit

Dark Woods don't currently have a permanent coffee shop. Occasionally they set up a pop up café at their roasting premises. It's very popular, the staff are very friendly and efficient, the cakes are tasty and the coffee is delicious. Can't wait for the next pop up.

After visiting this place over the years, there is much that it has to be said about this place. Darkwoods possibly the leading coffee roaster of all england. The knowledge and passion for coffee would be overwhelming and too precise. Flavours, denominations, and the general ambience of the place are unmeasurable. If you are planning to open a coffee shop or you are looking to uplevel your coffee career, you must give this place a call. Otherwise, you are missing out. Pictures made by me and the coffee le late art is made by me aswell it does not represent at all the quality or precision that this masters can bring to the table.

Dark woods is a very cool café. The cake and coffee were excellent. The location is really great too. Lovely walk on the canal.

Friendly and relaxed yet efficient service. Fresh, simple and tasty food served quickly and reasonably priced. A good selection of drinks and lovely canal side seating. Strongly recommend!

I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere & great food. The staff is friendly and attentive when needed. I highly recommend The Little Bridge for lunch or dinner.

Enjoyable pretty atmosphere, felt almost abroad out on the little river terrace, mid-range cost but very enjoyable and the food and wine was lovely!

Superb friendly attentive staff, lovely location and amazing food. What more could you ask for? I had the roast ham sandwich and chips. My wife ordered the chicken and pesto panini. Great fresh flavours. Well recommended! New menu in photos guys!

My partner and I made a much longed for return to the Rose & Crown last week. The pub is located on a hill overlooking the rolling hills of Slaithwaite. Following a 1 mile walk from the centre of the village, naturally up hill so I wouldn’t recommend the walk for those who tire easily! You arrive at the authentic and cosy Rose & Crown. They have a beautiful outside seating area and have outside cover. Inside is your classic English pub vibes, they have a main bar area and a few rooms that off shoot the main entrance which allows for a more private or less hustle and bustle atmosphere. We were greeted by the owner with a welcoming smile and personalised chat about our walk and how we ended up in his pub today! Extremely welcoming and makes you feel at ease after a leg heavy walk. There are a variety of drinks to quench your thirst, I even managed to spot a Thatchers Zero apple cider which is often unheard of in pubs! The music was spot on in the background (for me anyway!) and one room had sports playing for those who wanted to join. The pub will often have an outside projector under cover to watch main sporting events. My partner and I had a few drinks, played a few games and had a pizza from the food truck that alternates upon each week. I understand this pub hit hard times after Lockdown and has only recently opened on reduced hours. I want to shout this charismatic pub from the hilltops and remind everyone that it’s back open! It’s a gem of a pub an excuse to get your walking boots on, dust the cobwebs off and trek for a well earned drink! Parking is also plentiful for those whose walking attire is hung up for the day. I’d only like to see more alcohol free options (that replicate savory non alcohol drinks like apple ciders and IPAs over ‘mixed fruit’ options) and … tricky enough being low alcohol, the pub used to be amazing with dietary variations, but since the venders came on site it can be quite restrictive dietary wise due to the nature of being ‘pop up’. However, plenty of snacks and posh crisps behind the bar! The Rose & Crown is certainly worth the visit, if visiting from out of town or nipping up to one of your locals. The food and drink is spot on and cosy at ease atmosphere is all anyone asks for in this busy world! 🍻 Oh! And a bonus, the pub is dog friendly, infact with the decor seems to encourage dogs! 🐕

A good view of slaithwaite and marsden. plenty of outdoor seats, we arrived 1:40pm and did wait a bit long for our meals. the steak pie was delicacy and plenty of beef steak. the fish pie was in generous portion, it would be perfect if had more smoke fish in it. the fish and chips were tasty and plenty of garden peas. sticky toffee pudding with custard was tasty.

Absolutely love this place. A fabulous walk up from Marsden or Slaithwaite followed by fantastic views, a great welcome and great food and beer. Loads of parking and a brilliant place to take kids and dogs as there is loads of grassy outdoor space for them to safely run around.

Good selection of beers and wines available. The food is fantastic and never disappoints with a wide menu on offer. Very friendly and helpful staff. The views are amazing and you can enjoy this from the large outside seating area. Plenty of parking spaces. Also caters for private events.

An absolutely amazing little place ❤️ they have a massive cafe there looking over the hills 😀 it's beautiful 😍 all the food in the shop is homemade and they also have beautiful fresh and frozen produce🍒🍎🫑🍄‍🟫🥩🥚🐑🐮 Amazing and you should definitely visit if ur in the area 💯 🌳🌿🌾🍁🌺⚘️🪻🌿🌾🌳

I held my baby shower here on the 4th August and even from the planning stage, the staff and chefs were amazing. We had a special afternoon tea crafted which tasted amazing and everyone loved the food. The venue is stunning and the staff were very helpful with setting up, and catering to our table throughout the day. Cannot recommend enough, thank you for such a special day.

Love this little gem.. I drive 38 miles to shop here for my mini short bread biscuits.. there’s not one brand of short bread that beats this place, the staff are so friendly and helpful and the cafe is excellent.. well worth a trip out to visit

Delicious and great value breakfast. We both ordered the regular breakfast with the extra friend bread. Only cost a fiver, AND it came with toast, and discounted coffee. It was served in pretty decent time by very pleasant staff too. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Amazing place. we come here whenever we go into slaithwaite village because we know when we go, we are going to get a brilliant meal. It's honestly great and I would give more stars if I could. I urge anyone who comes here to try this cafe. you won't regret it. Eating in and Taking out are both just as fast but the quality doesn't lack either. It's just an all round brilliant place to go and eat.

A great breakfast and lovely friendly staff.

Went in Sunday morning for a breakfast- I had the vegetarian which was really filling, hot, fresh, cooked well and great value for money My boyfriend really enjoyed his big breakfast and for 8 pounds it was a steal- first time here and I will be back! :)

Amazing food in a reasonable price. I've tried already the bolster moor breakfast and the smoked salmon. Both are amazing! The order in the photo costs £29. Nice view and atmosphere. The only downside is that it can get quite busy sometimes.

Love stopping by here, normally for breakfast, when up in the area. Service is great, price reasonable & food fantastic. The picture is my breakfast of a bacon roll & tea for one (3 cups of tea!!). Plus we then pop into the farm shop for excellent produce, much of it local.

Amazing little place! Staff always super friendly and the food is always bang on. Would highly recommend them little sausages!

While out on a walk we came across this cafe by the canal, and what a lovely place! It was great from the minute we arrived, greeted by the staff with a smile, great coffee, ordered a fried egg and mushrooms in a brown teacake with brown sauce and it did not disappoint at all, devoured it completely and savoured every bite, highly recommended 👏🏽🫶🏽

Called in on the off chance, was lucky they had space for us. Quite a busy little spot. Nice selection of ales, food was amazing. Well presented and really tasty. Staff really nice and friendly also.

Me and my two children and my friend and her two children visited today for some lunch and the staff were absolutely amazing and so accommodating! We took up a lot of space with our double prams but they made sure we were as comfortable as possible and seated us straight away. The food was amazing as always and a great vegan variety to choose from too. We will definitely be returning. Thanks to all working today!
