Top Cafes in Wakefield, West yorkshire
Throwback Coffee House
45 Northgate, Wakefield WF1 3BH, UK | Cafe P: Not available
Rating: 4.8 (239) Price Level:
Wakefield’s go-to café for a plant-based breakfast or brunch. The food is all made from scratch with care, and the results are impressive (especially the baked goods!). However, be aware that the space is limited, so it can get crowded, especially on weekends. The airflow could also be better, so you may leave smelling like cooking. Overall, it’s a good spot for a coffee and a plant-based bite to eat.

Called in for a oat milk latter and was pleasantly surprised beautiful decor friendly staff and the coffee was delicious Wish I could have had some of the sweet treats because they looked amazing If your vegan this place is one of the best to go for a coffee in Wakefield
Rating: 4 / 5
Visited in May 2023. Not sure I would call this place ‘family-friendly’, but would be a good meeting place for friends although it is a small cafe. Staff not very attentive initially, had to ask for menus. Unfortunately had also ran out of Biscoff for pancakes/drinks which was a shame. Having said that, the drinks/food we had were actually really well-made, tasty and were served quickly. Good display of vegan bakes to take out also. Would come again with vegan friends for coffee/brunch.
Rating: 5 / 5
Great place! Delicious food (I had the Chai French Toast). Loved knowing food was safe for my allergy due to it being a plant based cafe. Will be going again!

Went for brunch with a friend. We ordered the all day burrito and the breakfast burrito with coffees and juice. Coffee tasted amazing and the burritos were lovely. Would have benefitted from a tomato based sauce. Staff were really attentive and service was quick. Would highly recommend. The coffee house benefits from outdoor seating and is dog friendly.

The Cabin
Calder Garage, 73 Doncaster Road, Wakefield WF1 5DX, UK | Cafe P: 01924 200780
Rating: 4.8 (80) Price Level:
Great place to eat. Great staff. Food is the best in Wakefield without a doubt. Keep up the good work guys
Rating: 5 / 5
A very good English breakfast at a great price! The Cabin does different-sized breakfasts, what you get for each size is marked on the menu, which I like. They trim the fat from the thick and extremely tasty bacon, beautiful sausage and not a single grease mark on the plate! What more could you ask for?

Bakes By VANILLA BEAN
28 Wood St, Wakefield WF1 2ED, UK | Coffee Shop P: 01924 973473
Rating: 4.9 (104) Price Level:
Really nice bakes and sweet treats with a stunning view of the civic quarter
Rating: 5 / 5
This was the first time I have been in was to have a meeting there. I was really impressed with the selection of coffee, the display of home bake sweet and savoury delights was so inviting I could resist. The owner is very passionate about his coffee and we had a great chat about coffee and the history of his suppliers and around how hard his wife works baking all the items for the shop. Don't just walk past go in, you won't be disappointed!
Rating: 5 / 5
We've been customers at Vanilla Bean for years now and can honestly say hand on heart we've never been disappointed. Every bake is masterfully created with high quality ingredients and this is reflected in the high quality of the bakes. The baker, Lianna and her husband who own the business are always incredibly friendly, as are their service staff, Hannah especially who we have had most interaction with, is always pleasant and makes customers feel welcome. On our latest visit we were incredibly impressed with the innovative cups now being used which are lidless! They function fantastically and this really serves as a perfect example of why it's important to support small, independent businesses - they care. When a small company like Vanilla Bean starts to use innovation to reduce their plastic waste it really highlights how large corporate coffee chains may say they care about the environment but do little in the way of backing up their words with actions. Would highly recommend any visit to Vanilla Bean, you certainly won't regret it!

Nice small coffee and cake place. My son brings cake from here when visiting. First time and not bad. Quick to serve, tasty drink and cake, enough options. Only issue was icing was too thick on the school cake.
Rating: 5 / 5
Shhh! Don’t tell anyone, but this is the best coffee place in Wakefield! I’m regular there from the very beginning and never disappointed. Owners are lovely and all their staff as well! Always welcoming and kind. I get flat whites, turmeric latte, occasionally bakes, they’re delicious. Stylish interior, nice outdoor area. Parking nearby! Thanks Vanilla Bakes!

David Evo Cafe
Kirkgate Railway Station, Monk St, Wakefield WF10 4EL, UK | Coffee Shop P: Not available
Rating: 5 (28) Price Level:
Good to see the café on the station as reopened. The station it's self is very basic no facilities that's worth a mention. Sure the cafe will do really well, good selection of drinks and snacks. At least I can get a coffee when delayed, or before bordering.
Rating: 5 / 5
Nice modern cafe with comfortable seating and powerpoints. Coffee and hot chocolate both nice. Staff friendly and helpful. Good to have a staff presence on the station and the station overall feels a lot more of a welcoming, modern and vibrant place than it used to.
Rating: 5 / 5
I had the pleasure of having a coffee here a few days ago - due to a cancelled train. I can tell you: I am happy it got cancelled! This place is a little gem! The staff are so polite, attentive and so professional. My coffee was delicious (best flat white ever!). Excellent service/atmosphere and an immaculate place, brilliant.
Rating: 5 / 5
Really good coffee and good selection of snacks. Friendly staff who will help out (I spilt my coffee and they were very patient!) and the pastries are all served warm and delicious. It's probably no pricier than most chains and the food and drink is miles better!
Rating: 5 / 5
Had an hour wait before our train. Enjoyed a couple of drinks in here whilst waiting. Very friendly staff. Food served to others was prepared freshly and looked good. Much better service and value than a chain

Cafe Vie The Bistro
Thompson's Yard, New St, Ossett WF5 8BH, UK | Restaurant P: 01924 271100
Rating: 4.8 (205) Price Level:
The food is very good, you have to wait a bit if you want to eat something fresh and good, so don't expect to be served directly. One thing I don't like is that they don't prepare any of the cakes they have displayed at the entrance.
Rating: 5 / 5
What a fantastic place this is. Really well run and the chef is great. Their themed food evenings are excellent. The food is second to none and not over priced. Their wine choice is impressive and the service is on point. Thanks guys we'll be back.

Love love love it. Fabulous breakfast, probably one of the best full English I have had. There's a lot of very nice food to suit all tastes on the breakfast menu. Service from the lovely polite and friendly staff can't be faulted either. A real hidden gem. If I lived any closer I'd be there every day!

Lovely breakfast, full English was one of the best I’ve had in a while! Well worth a visit ! Roman served us and was a lovely!

The best cafe, 10/10 service and food. Such a lovely open, airy space with plenty of seating. Variety of amazing dishes to try from the menu and the coffee is always lovely. Definitely worth popping in if you’re in the area. This morning I tried the breakfast burger and it was delicious. Look forward to coming back 😊

On Track Coffee
Mulberry Wy, Wakefield WF1 2QN, UK | Coffee Shop P: 01924 371737
Rating: 4.9 (45) Price Level:
Easily the best coffee shop in Wakefield and surrounding areas. The staff here are so friendly and will always be up for a chat. The shop is beautifully put together, complete with a window seat to people watch while you enjoy what can only be described as the perfect flat white (or latte in this case). All their milk based drinks are spot on as they go above and beyond when preparing their drinks, you'll notice this in the milk temperature and velvety consistency. I always find an excuse to nip in here. If at any point they opened a large shop with plenty of seating I'm sure it'd thrive in the same way!
Rating: 5 / 5
I had some time to kill before getting a taxi and almost bought a Costa in the station but saw a sign for this coffee shop just outside and am so glad I did. I don’t often post reviews but this coffee is one of the best I’ve ever had and the banana bread was also delicious. Friendly staff too
Rating: 5 / 5
Fantastic coffee. Exactly what we needed after a long journey. Service was quick and easy. Friendly staff. Fully recommended!

Delicious decaf coffee and milk alternatives. Some of the best coffee I’ve ever had! Lovely convenient coffee shop.

Small independent coffee shop with some inside seating. Reasonably priced and they keep a selection of coffee beans for a presumably local roaster. Latte - with my own cup - was £3.50

I absolutely love coming to Andrea’s cafe in Walton. The cakes she makes are delicious and prepared fresh every day. The staff are really friendly and there is a home from home atmosphere. This is now my go to place to meet friends for coffee.
Rating: 5 / 5
Went in with some old friends for breakfast, Andrea and Karen made us feel really welcome and sorted us a bigger table straight away. The place is set up brilliantly for it, with a great toy corner to keep little ones entertained. Food was spot on and great value, good selection of drinks and homemade buns were an added bonus. Will definitely be in again, either with kids or just for a quiet coffee and a chat.

A proper hidden gem. Lovely food, perfect portion sizes with friendly staff. What more could you ask for
Rating: 5 / 5
My friend and I preordered afternoon tea as a birthday treat for an elderly lady. On arrival our table was ready for us, and our food was served promptly and pleasantly. There was a good balance of savoury and sweet, and everything was very tasty. The staff were attentive, and we were made to feel welcome and comfortable. Would certainly enjoy this again.

Astonishing coffee here. They really put their passion into what they serve! Great service to the two gentleman behind the counter on Saturday despite it being busy. Lovely swan on the latte. Will return thank you!
Rating: 5 / 5
Excellent hand pour available here. Would be nice if batch brew was also available - the hand pour made up for it, though it was fairly expensive. I’m fairly confident this is the best place in Wakefield for specialty coffee fans. The baked stuff was excellent too. I had some kind of croissant hybrid.
Rating: 5 / 5
Came for a quick drink. First time I'd visited. Smart modern feel to the place.Coffee shop during the day, bar on a Friday and Saturday evening. Prices reasonable.Great service from Nathan and Ryan, friendly, helpful and welcoming. Hats off to Nathan who mixed the best margarita in Wakefield. U The best used to be at another place across the road but Nathan really made it spot on, not just once but a few times, presentation needed a little work but the taste was perfect. Tried many margaritas around Wakefield and around the world but this was sublime. Well worth a visit.

Needed somewhere to hold up while my car was in for all day repairs and this place didn't disappoint. Enjoyed breakfast, hot drinks and even a cake while hooked up to the WiFi to work remotely. Thanks for taking care of me ☺️

Absolutely fantastic - our favourite place by miles in Wakefield. Not only is the service great, the coffee amazing and the food delicious, but every element of this place has been thought through. Coffee cups and water jugs are beautiful for example. Every element has been designed and presented so well. Wish I lived closer - this would be my daily regular! Try a toastie - you will not be disappointed!!

A massive shout out for Rich and his team for the DELICIOUS homemade steak pie and peas that he brought to my 70th celebration. Everyone who came heaped praise on the quality of the food, it was superb. The service was excellent and efficient too, I really can’t fault anything received from this wonderful little set up.

I fancied something different for breakfast so came for a Persian experience. I had the omelette which was fantastic, very generous portion of warm bread. I saw someone eating the deluxe breakfast and it looked spectacular but maybe it’s for two people so next time I’ll bring a friend. Really nice service and atmosphere and comfy seats and lovely soothing music.

I had been training and was craving a breakfast shake-up, I ventured into Persian territory. The omelette won me over big time, flaunting warm bread like it was starting a carb revolution. Sara was a pleasure to talk with she was very welcoming, I will certainly be back to taste more of the menu.
