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

Fabulous spot. I visited here with a couple friends after doing a local hike and we were all equally impressed with Ribbles of Holmfirth. From the moment we walked through the door we were greeted with a warm welcome from the lady behind the counter (sorry I never got your name!). Great drinks, even better food, beautiful surroundings. It made a wonderful change having some older music on in the background, such a nice place to be. I had a hash stack and everything was cooked to perfection. Full of flavour and all at a great price. I was very surprised when going upstairs to the bathroom that there's another floor to sit within too. The bathroom was also clean and tidy, finished off with individual hand towels which is a very welcome addition. Overall we loved it here and will return in the future without hesitation.

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.

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 🖤

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

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!

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. 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. 👍

Very pleasant house blend flatwhite served with flair. Gattania Colombian was complex and flavoursome... notes of Maltese, nougat and hazelnut. Excellent find in Holmfirth.

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!

We've been here twice now for lunch ( both times we had the hot pork roll , chips and gravy ), and both times, the food (huge portions and extremely delicious) , the staff , and the service here have been amazing. We'll definitely be back when in the area again.

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.

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.

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

Hidden away beside a small river in the middle of Holmfirth sits a jewel known only to the locals and a few passers by. Holme Coffee House is a little sanctuary from the chill after your walk with your canine friend. The friendly service, the soft lighting and the good music are the first things that welcome you, but the great coffee and amazing food will make you come back. Freshly cooked sausage and egg on a soft warm ciabatta with a small pot of brown sauce, I was even given a separate sausage for Trixie, nicely chopped up for her convenience. If you ever find yourself in Holmfirth, give them a visit and show them some love

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.

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

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!

Really lovely food. Great veggie and vegan selection too. Great service. Only downstairs is it's quite loud inside so not always easy to hear.

My husband and I have been coming to Wired Coffee and Cake since before we moved to the village, and it’s always a delight. We’re greeted with a warm welcome every time, the coffee is consistently spot on and made with care, the food is fantastic, and the cakes are absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

Beautiful little cafe, staff is very welcoming and serves delicious coffees, cakes and limited but tasty vegetarian food dishes

What a find, picturesque, and overall great location for a lovely cafe, friendly staff too

A hidden gem in huddersfield! Very little shops around the world can compare to the care and relaxing atmosphere that this place offers. After visiting this shop for over 3 years I decided to take a Job as staff in this little place! To be able to reach and connect more with my community and promote myself as a private spanish teacher (completly succeded) I must say that the kindness,care, and loving heart of this place can not be measured in words. Congratulations, you are and always be the best coffee place in the world. I am so lucky to had found this.

Great service! Lovely staff who accommodated our 6 people party without booking. Lovely food and amazing scones! We will certainly come back

We have been here dozens of times. The owners and staff are absolutely fantastic and a credit to the business. The food is incredible, I've never had anything there that was not top quality but the new York deli takes some beating! Thanks a lot and see you soon

A lovely quaint little coffee shop in the centre of Holmfirth. It was relatively busy but we found a quiet table at the back. It is waitress service. We both ordered paninis and sparkling water. There was plenty of choice on the menu and specials displayed on the wall. The food was presented well and tasted beautiful although portion size was on the small side. The side salad was tiny. Prices were reasonable. The lady who served us was friendly and helpful. There is an accessible, clean and well presented restroom. I would visit again.

Had to revert to a breakfast visit this time to fit in with the structure of my long distance cycle ride on the day. A darn good job as I might have missed out on the delicious cumberland sausage baguette the wonderful people of Beatties cooked up this morning, which I was more than ready for after 3 hours of non stop pedalling from Sheffield. A difficult decision for some when it sits only 5 metres apart from Sid & Ivy's but the menu here has far more to pick from and staff that welcome you like they've known you all their life.

Great cafe! Great breakfast! Many thanks to the lovely lady who baked the Halloween buns kids loved them

Fantastic place, amazing staff. Super friendly and warm welcome with top quality food. The chips wow 👌

Called here for a coffee with my mother whilst visiting. I have been before but the service is always good. Lovely friendly staff and beautiful surroundings. We are returning today for lunch!

Delicious flat white and very friendly staff. I think it’s the best coffee you can find in Holmfirth. I have also tried the cakes which are very good. They have indoor and outdoor seating.

£20 for lge latte and dirty chai latte, carrot cake and cinnamon bun!! There was nothing on the menu or the board about charging 60p for a large ( frankly this was more a small cup), plus nothing also stated that there is a charge for oat milk!!

Called here for breakfast and the place was very busy, with seating inside and out. Nice atmosphere and lovely staff. I had cheese on toasted sourdough, which was fine. I would have preferred regular bread a sourdough gets quite hard when it's toasted but otherwise it was good.

Love to come here mid-week for a freshly made pizza and fries and a couple of drinks. Lovely food, service and atmosphere. This is becoming our favourite spot.

Nice atmosphere and well priced wines. Very busy so didn't eat there but it was clearly popular.

We called in on a really wet rainy day. We're so pleased we did. We ate lunch here and the pulled pork wrap and chicken with sweet chili panini. Both were saved on a chopping board with fresh mixed leaves salad, pomegranate. Everything burst with flavour. We also drank two flat white coffees which were nice and strong in a large cup. All the staff were very friendly and everywhere very clean. We definitely will call in for another lunch. The portions and cost was extremely reasonable too. We sat upstairs and watched the world pass by.

This is our second cocktail in as many days, Lani makes amazing cocktails and the bar has a great vibe. The pizza’s looked great although I haven’t tried one. 10/10. Well done guys.
