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

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!

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.

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.

Spam egg and cheese was great 👍 just what a working lad needed ,great food, great service 👍

Took my order 10mins before they opened and I got the large breakfast and it comes with a hit or cold drink. Food was really nice everything cooked right so was a beautiful full English

Always my favourite breakfast place although he does an awesome pie and chips too definitely recommend

Good quality food and great service

The food is fabulous, highly recommend the Turkish eggs and also the pastries. I would suggest asking for some of the pastries to be heated like spinach & feta or the chocolate, hazelnut and pear (they won't offer but will do upon request). Coffee is great, and service is rapid meaning you can stop before your train. Booking looks advisable as always busy.

Incredible place! I wish I had a better photo of how it arrived! Honestly one of the best English breakfasts I have ever had. It is difficult to elevate a fry, but they managed. Mushroom with lemon and thyme, homemade beans, perfect poached eggs, great coffee. Seriously impressive place. Everyone else was really happy with the food as well. Service was fast and kind.

This is my first visit to this establishment, and I must say it has left a remarkable impression on me. Opting for breakfast here in the morning was undoubtedly the right choice. From the very first moment, the young and attentive staff ensured a warm and welcoming experience. The time spent here, combined with the unique atmosphere, is as exceptional as the food itself. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone who has yet to try the local cuisine – it is truly worth the visit.

Breakfast was really nice! I had the french toast and it was delicious, the orange mascarpone made it very refreshing so it wasn't too sweet. The portion size was also huge. We also had the breakfast brioche, again very delicious but definitely recommend it with added bacon.

Best breakfast in the area, friendly staff, quick service. WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYONE

Unexpected little sandwich shop. Good service and reasonable price. I would much rather give my hard earned to a local enterprise such as this, than dearer high street options. Good to have the opportunity. Breakfast looked great but it was just coffee for me

Great service lovely breakfast highly recommended

Such a lovely little deli/cafe in a quirky and unique location. Had the full English which was delicious. Well cooked and great locally sourced sausage. Dogs are welcome. Staff are very friendly. Was a chilly day so we were welcomed with a hot water bottle. Such a lovely touch. Take out deli food look equally as delicious, especially the sausage rolls! Will definitely be back. I noticed a few 1-star reviews - ignore as this is 100% Joyful!

A hidden gem with a warm welcome and friendly staff! They have hot water bottles and blankets for colder months, which makes it cosy. The new barn is very special and is well worth a visit for coffee and cake (or the food menu also looks great) 😊

Best beef sandwich I have ever had!! Not your average deli, this is a serious place and inside was very accommodating although we sat outside with the dog watching the world go by. Will definitely be back again soon. Thanks

Something for everyone with 4 legs or 2. This is a fantastic spot to eat, drink and shop. Lots of people from the Ilkley area now meet here. But equally if you were on your way to the Lakes or the Dales, and wanted a high quality lunch just off the main A65, say to let your dog or your children stretch their legs, it's perfect. There's an easy circular walk down to the river and you never need step off a pavement, so great for a pushchair. The Deli is a great place for deli items- they sell the best olive oil bar none. Today, there were pumpkins for sale as well as more typical fresh vegetables. The food is great- I love the omelette and our dog knows there are dog sausages on hand. She won't walk past without stopping! You can sit indoors or outside under an awning if Yorkshire rain threatens! On top of this, all the staff are a delight to talk to. There's always a local story and a friendly smile. I couldn't recommend this place highly enough- it's a 5 star place without a doubt.

Had the afternoon tea here via a Groupon and it was absolutely amazing left feeling full and the mimosa was lovely. Fresh tasty food and amazing vibes with the neon light and pretty atmosphere. Lovely coffee as always. Staff were very accommodating and friendly would come back again any day! Small inside so worth booking online but it adds to the cozy vibe!

I had pre booked an afternoon tea for my sisters birthday, and when we arrived we were not disappointed. The external was welcoming and clean, and we were greeted within seconds of walking in the door. We were seated quickly by very friendly staff who had asked about our day, and made sure we had everything we needed. Once the beautifully presented afternoon tea arrived, we were totally suprised at what was actually on it. We were thinking the usual type sandwiches, but nope, it was beautiful Mediterranean foods, an array of colours and packed full of flavour. Throughout the time we were there, staff were happily chatting to customers coming through the door, but also cleaning and ensuring the shop looked spit-spot. Absolutely made our 1st trip to Leeds a delight, accompanied by much needed sunshine to brighten the day.

Me and my partner eat here often. They always have amazing cafe food and coffee and the staff have always been great and friendly. The veggie breakfast and jacket potatoes are always good. They always go above to cater for my gluten allergy and I love their banana bread. I recently had the tea for two experience with me and my mum, and it was fantastic - they did gluten free options for me and were really good and probably the best tea for two I’ve had! Would definately recommend.

I went with a friend, we had an amazing brunch! Savena was super friendly and welcomed us very well! Sara took our order and made sure everything came to us correctly. I enjoyed Irish coffee.To eat, I ordered a Croque Madame, but without the prosciutto. Chef Matt was very thoughtful in preparing the order without the prosciutto and it was delicious! The atmosphere is cozy and sooo beautiful, perfect for a coffee with a friend or to take the family. We had a lovely time there, I’m exited to come back soon!

ABSOLUTELY EXCEPTIONAL! And a great price list! I’m a very fussy eater! Tried every cafe in hemsworth and didn’t like any of them then I found this little gem! The food is amazing! The meat is top quality and the lady’s that run the cart are so lovely and accommodating. I’ll be a loyal customer for life now! I 100% would recommend this place!

Beautiful food, cooked to order. Staff are always friendly which creates a happy atmosphere.

Delicious food, friendly efficient service

Wonderful sandwich shoppe! Food was delicious and so affordable. Service was personal and staff is so kind. A must-visit!

Beautiful location & absolutely stunning scenery. Great way to unwind & have breakfast. The food was excellent. There are a couple of cable car pods where you can sit in. The building feels almost like an Alpine chalet. The service was excellent & very friendly. The cafe is open until 4.00pm.

We came here just before we started the massive hike with the in-laws. We started we started the day with breakfast. they have these mega little mini breakfast muffins which are perfect not too heavy. The staff is super friendly the toilets the toilet which are always a plus. Also, I do remember they was the best sausages I’ve had in about five years.

My first visit here and I was so impressed. All tables were full but we were offered the Ski Gondolas to sit in. These are cosy but beautiful too, especially on a sunny day looking out over the river. The staff are very friendly, in particular one of the owners who took time to talk to us. The breakfast here is fab. Great produce is used, the bacon & sausage a highlight. Eggs that are actually cooked properly too. Highly recommended

A little gem in the country! Spectacular views and by the river. Lovely place, food of high quality, friendly service. Smart and clean toilets too!

Friendly staff that were welcoming to us 🍰🧋

Fabulous food, all fresh local produce - brilliant value for money. Lovely location, staff can’t do enough for you, very accommodating. One of the best afternoon teas I have had. They cater for all dietary requirements and have a great menu with plenty of choice. I would highly recommend the afternoon tea ❤️

beautiful place (vibe unparalleled), excellent staff (shout out to Alex you legend) (the others are very nice too). i love the menu - lots to choose from as a veggie and they were v accommodating with a request to switch bacon > v sausage. one of my fav spots - esp when the sun hits on the terrace ☀️

Always a wonderful time at this little hidden gem of North Leeds. Food is delicious, the staff are always super friendly and accommodating of my dietary needs. Very much raising the bar for how a cafe should be.

Very good quality food and drink. Also nice to have some different breakfast and brunch options to the norm. It's understandably popular.

We went for some lunch for my grandpas birthday and the staff were absolutely brilliant, the food was gorgeous and all round atmosphere was perfect for the occasion. Our server was Eva she was really friendly and attentive, she deserves a bonus for being such a credit to the restaurant! We couldn’t be happier with the experience :)
