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

Amazing venue for a baby shower! The staff were lovely and couldn't do enough for us all. Beautiful surroundings and decor inside!

Lovely food, & plenty of it. Had a toasted cheese & onion sandwich. It was nicely presented with a side of salad, coleslaw & a few crisps. Oh & a milkshake. We were looked after by Kate who saw to our needs & made us feel very welcomed. Will definitely be back again.

Absolutely wonderful cafe, great little find. I wanted to book somewhere as we were travelling three hours North for my partner to have his van repaired and we needed somewhere close for a quick pit stop. This lovely cafe came up as within walking distance and decided to book via Instagram. Very quick reponse and very friendly ladies. Breakfast was amazing! If we were ever that way again, would definetely pop in. Highly recommend. Delicious! Sarah & Lee.

3rd time here today and it was lovely. My wife had a small breakfast and I had a large breakfast, both were very tasty and well presented. Staff are lovely and the cakes are that nice we took some home for afters.....not for the first!! Very clean and nicely decorated Another wonderful visit..... next on the agenda will probably be an afternoon tea. 👍👍👍

York Gate is a delightful one-acre Grade II National Heritage Garden created by the Spencer family. It delights with a succession of linked gardens (or "rooms"as they are known) which take their design inspiration from the Arts and Crafts movement and were developed thanks to the horticultural skills of its owner Sybil Spencer and developed between 1951 and 1994. Each individual "room" has its own beauty and interest, with a wealth of plants, shrubs and trees, some immediately recognisable, others much more exotic! There are several water features and unusual structures and stonework, a meadow with beehives plus varied and intricate pathways linking the different "rooms". I was fortunate to visit as part of a National Trust garden volunteer's group and had the benefit of a guided tour given by the affable and knowledgeable Head Gardener, who explained how the garden has evolved and continues to do so. There is also a cafe, shop and plant nursery on the site. It is most definitely worth a visit and cannot fail to impress and inspire!

Visited the garden on 3rd September. Although it only has limited parking we had no problems finding a space. We were greeted at the entrance by a friendly and informative guide who gave us a brief overview of the gardens and amenities. As it was close to lunchtime the first stop was the cafe. This has a large seating both inside and in the garden. The food was good, we both had Paninies which were very good and at a good price. The facilities are spotlessly clean. You can visit the cafe without having to pay entry to the garden. The garden although is only 1 acre the design crams in so many small gardens and walkways it seems so much larger. The planting and hard landscaping is wonderful and is well worth the visit. Price is £7 which is very reasonable and even better is part of the gardeners world 2 for 1 ticket offer. The annual price is also a very cheap option at only .£30. There is also a shop and also plant sales again at reasonable prices. I would highly recommend a visit

A truly magical gem that surprises and delights. One of the most peaceful and restorative spaces I've had the pleasure to spend time in. This place couldn't fail to bring joy to all who visit. The sheer pleasure of being immersed in such a tranquil space can be seen on the faces of every single volunteer. It's a little escape from the hustle and bustle of life beyond the gate.

An absolute hidden gem! One of the most beautiful garden to visit in Yorkshire!! Plenty of interest everywhere you looked. There’s lots of different areas to wander and seating in places to marvel at the fantastic handiwork. The cafe had seating both inside and out with a good selection of food and drink. Plenty of parking spaces alongside a gift shop and plant nursery. Highly recommend visiting if you love gardens!!!

We ordered delivery for the first time today and honestly it was absolutely banging. The doubled up breakfast sandwich was huge-usually when we get breakfast sandwiches the bacon is always a letdown, undercooked and greasy but this was literally cooked to perfection! Crispy bacon in our breakfast sandwiches! Love it! All our food was absolutely gorgeous. We have ordered from other local places for sarnies and paid double the price, Alexanders absolutely smashed them out of the park. Well impressed, will be back!

Highly recommended 😋👌🏻 Alexander catered for my grandma's 90th Birthday party last week at Adel social club and every single guest from the 8 year olds to the 95 year olds all commented on how delicious the food was! Alex even prepared a generously portioned separate meal for my father with special dietary requirements (vegan with additional food sensitivities) and my dad was really impressed! He arrived on time to lay out the food before the party and then came back after to clear away what was left before the end of our use of the venue, with such friendly and helpful service every step of the way! Thanks so much! As well as the deli, if you need event catering - Alexander is your guy! 👍🏻

This place is an absolute gem. Tried it just before Xmas and now will be a regular customer. Tried loaded fries with buffalo sauce, excellent. Then my partner and I tried poutine which was plentiful and lathered in gravy alongside a tuna melt bagel. We were stunned how big it was, absolutely stuffed with filling. Today, tried Philly Cheese bagel (pictured) and it was massive and contained a ton of pastrami. It fell apart because it had so much filling but a messy meal has it's own charm. We're buzzing that we live close to it... gunna try everything on the menu!

Got a tuna salad, crisps, carrot cake all very nice 😋 chips good. Nice inside and staff very friendly, will try eating in next time

Awesome place, friendly & welcoming staff, best coffee I’ve ever had,

Nice atmosphere, mix of tables, window desks and sofas. Staff are super friendly & I’ve always been happy with the drinks. Would recommend

As well as a cosy cafe experience, Red Bean offers meeting rooms, very convenient for business meetings. Staff very friendly & helpful. Excellent service. Food is standard cafe fare.

What a lovely spot! Amy was incredibly friendly and their coffee is excellent. The place itself is perfect for anyone wanting a casual drink with friends in a welcoming seating area, or if you want to book out their meeting rooms for a more private space. 5 stars ⭐️

The food is so good as is the service in a setting that reminds you of all the home comforts

We had a surprise afternoon tea for my mums 70th birthday, the room was lovely, amazing food, great service, Fiona & staff were so lovely & accommodating we couldn't ask for more! A big thank you xxx

Just love this place, it's so friendly and the food is great and not at extortionate prices. Also they have some fun evenings throughout the year to attend.

Enjoyed afternoon tea here today, cannot praise the food, staff and surroundings enough. Absolutely beautiful and fresh quality food. Staff were pleasant and so helpful. Would 110% recommend to anyone. Well done everyone, Absolutely perfect 🥰

Nice tart and coffee. People there are very friendly too.

Small but tasteful venue. Friendly, attentive staff. On this occasion I opted for a Mocha which was beautifully presented with a light, sweet biscuit. I was tempted by the variety of sweet treats on offer but I resisted, maybe next time.

Absolutely brilliant food great prices and brilliant staff 😀

Always a pleasure. I absolutely love this place. It's friendly, everyone makes us feel at home. Food is delicious.

Lovely staff that are very friendly and accommodating. Great coffee and food at reasonable prices. Trendy decor and comfortable seating.

Lovely coffee shop, came for a coffee whilst I fed my little baby girl. The ladies were so kind, they brought my tea cake, sat down and buttered it for me then did my jam as I was feeding 🥺

My mum and I visited this gorgeous little cafe in Normanton. If you’re local to the area, it’s a great little spot for some brunch/lunch and the staff are all really friendly too. The menu isn’t huge but offers a good range of different options that are all very reasonably priced. The cafe is quite small inside but we didn’t struggle to find a seat. We visited for breakfast. I ordered the banana on toast which came with peanut butter, maple syrup and blueberries. It was definitely the best banana on toast I’d ever had! Being local to the area, I’m surprised I’ve never been here before, I will certainly be returning!

Always a treat to visit Toast! Wonderful menu, warm, friendly service and great atmosphere. Lovely cakes, sandwiches and coffee.

Great place to visit, so welcoming and friendly it is like you have been a friend for years even if it is your first visit. They have something going on every day, from lunches where you an get a warm meal to games afternoons where you can meet new friends and have a laugh. They also have nurses dropping in to help with any bandage dressing you may require and advise on any health problems. To many events to list so recommend looking on their website, which is something they also help with. Highly recommended.

It’s been a while since my last visit !! I was invited to a meeting taking place in the “sunshine “ room and I knew from my last visit that this must be further work in progress! I parked outside and the first thing I noted was that the old entrance had been filled in . I was directed around the side of the building and up a gently sloping wide ramp to another large entrance. There are railings all the way up the ramp for safety and help for mobility . It also prevents a drop onto the old steps too. The new doorway is double glazed sliding doors and leads into a corridor. Situated here too is a disabled toilet 🚾 wheelchair Accessible and fitted with visual impairment handrails too . To my right a large double door leading into the “sunshine” room . It was a very sunny day and the room was bathed with light even with the blinds closed ! Very appropriate name . This was the meeting room today and also in an alcove is a very modern little kitchenette. A good sized meeting room without crazy acoustics !! All floors flat and level and no trip hazards! A real jewel in the crown of the LS16 community . Still work to do outside and the bees 🐝 were busy in the parts that had been cleared and planted .

Attended the Strength & Balance Class and was greeted with a warm welcome. I must say, it's a relaxing place with a great ambience and the café is like an oasis. It feels like home and the staff are very receptive. The facilities are really user friendly for people who have a disability, good ♿wheelchair access, 🚾 toilets and 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧family orientated, a space for all. I have not tried out the cafe yet but from what I have seen so far it looks delightful and I look forward to trying it out real soon. Also good transport service too, whether you prefer the bus or train. If you have not visited yet, I urge you to give it a try!

This place is a real little gem in the community. Since buying the old run down pub it used to house there has been a huge transformation. The cafe is really welcoming, plenty of space, kids corner, fully accessible. There is a car park at the rear, bus stop across the road (no 6 and 19) and Horsforth train station isn't far either. No excuse not to go and visit! Amazing staff, friendly atmosphere, really good selection of food (the cake!!!) and great coffee! As you can probably tell, I rather like it!!

Our favourite place, lovely food and service and table number 5 is the best 😁

Busy, friendly, comfortable. Good coffee, great service where your custom clearly matters and theres great attentiontodetail in furnishings and decor. Food packed with flavour and nicely presented. Lots of space indoors, a bit of seating outside is a bit too close to the road for me. Parking out back.

This is my go to place to hang out as a self employed creative type who doesn't like the hustle and bustle of the big chains. Chilled out vibe, great service, great service, great coffee ☕ and food. I'm always warmly welcomed. What more do you want? Check it out you won't be disappointed 👍

Came across this place on Google so had to visit after reading the reviews. We weren't disappointed. Beautiful decor, friendly staff, good menu choices, lovely coffee & food & reasonable prices. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We will definitely come again soon.

I came here for the Turkish breakfast which I recommend. Nice seating outside which is great when weather is sunny. Decor is very nice with indoor seating if you prefer.

Sunday breakfast really enjoyed. Great new addition to the local area. Definitely recommend.

Great food, great service. We live close and will definitely be returning! It was also lovely and cosy after walking there in the sludge!

Warm friendly atmosphere! And the gent serving had a great smile! Highly recommended for breakfast!
