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

A great find . Delicious sunday lunch . Very generous portion. Liked the family style sharing vegetables . Great service. Extremely well stocked farm shop with a beautiful array of produce . Loved the fresh orange juice self service machine where you can bottle your own takeaway juice and also different flavoured takeaway milk machine too. Perfect place for all ages. The outdoor area serving pizza and takeaway foods has a great atmosphere. There is a children's farm for " Little Farmers " Only thing I would say as a downside , no vegan ice-cream and the portion served in the ice-cream hut was very a small scoop and she didn't wear gloves.

Popped in to get lunch before getting on the M1. I had carrot soup and a tuna jacket potato. Both were amazing! My partner had the pulled pork sandwich and said it was very good. The actual shop is huge, and lots of good produce. There's the Barn Kitchen which was very busy so I suggest booking a table. We picked up food from the hot counter and there is a nice covered area where you can sit outside to eat.

This was a fun place to visit. Seeing the animals and getting to pet them was great. The animals especially the goats were very friendly and kept coming up to us. The staff were lovely and welcoming. The farm shop was nice and I recommend the milkshake machine. There is free parking on site, It can get quite busy at times, but there is lots of space to park.

Hickories was recommended to us by a friend Olivia to have a meal for our 41st wedding anniversary, she had been there on a few occasions and had been really impressed by everything, especially the food . We had never been before but we were amazed at how helpful, kind and welcoming the staff were with us The food was amazing and well presented if anything portions were really generous, so we didn't leave hungry Hickories was once the lawnswood arms and it has been refurbished to a very good standard. We were really impressed We would absolutely recommend a visit to this newly refurbished restaurant with fantastic staff, food and atmosphere

Went for a date night with my partner; staff were friendly, polite, and very accommodating to my allergies. Food was delicious, I had the smokehouse rump steak and my partner had the smokehouse platter for one, which they enjoyed; but be advised the coleslaw and pickled onions have jalapenos. We shared the Cajun onion rings which were delicious and crunchy, also served hanging so any excess oil drips off and prevented them from going soggy 👍 I had the chocolate fudge cake for dessert, which was absolutely delicious but very sweet so would recommend maybe either sharing or having something like a small milkshake/glass of milk to help cut the sweetness (unless you have an extreme sweet tooth 😅). Only downside was where we were sat was dimmly lit, so it did make it a bit hard to read the menu(s) properly (I had to use the torch on my phone 😅) and it is slightly on the expensive side for what we got; but all in all, very nice place, happy with the food and service, and would go again

Our second visit to Hickory’s in Adel and it didn’t disappoint. We’d booked for 19:30 on Friday evening to celebrate 2 birthdays. We were seated promptly in a spacious booth (5 of us) and although nobody came to take drinks orders for 20 mins, we could see they were extremely busy. Staff were lovely and friendly - cocktails and IPA beer selection excellent and all our drinks arrived within minutes of placing the order as well as their tasty popcorn. Ordered some burgers, a BBQ sharing platter (with extra onion rings) and my wife had the chicken cobb salad. Portions were generous and the brisket, pulled pork, sausage ribs, wings and sides were all outstanding. The triple Oklahoma burger was also exceptional. We didn’t have room for dessert this time although they looked great on the menu. There’s a great atmosphere in the place and a very welcoming vibe. It’s a huge building with many tables and yet the kitchen was able to get food out to a really good standard within 20 minutes of placing the order so all credit to the team. I was actually surprised at just how little the bill was as I was honestly expecting much more. For the 5 of us it came to around £170 which for the quality and quantity of the food, all served in a great environment by happy staff and easy parking outside was excellent value. We’re looking forward to our next visit.

Very lovely atmosphere, they have a cinema room, so kids can watch films. The food is amazing! Fist time tried a burger on cinnamon bun - this is an unique combination! Will come back again!

A bottomless brunch where the food is as appealing as the unlimited mimosas! Impeccable food, lovely staff and a great spot on Call Lane to watch the world go by on a sunny afternoon. We shared the Biscoff Pancakes and the Chorizo & Bean Burrito so we could enjoy IF’s sweet and savoury offerings.

Stopped by @ifupnorth recently and was impressed by the menu. Tried the Bunch Club Royale—fluffy eggs, crispy bacon, and a rich hollandaise, alongside the smashed avocado which had a great creamy texture. The If Bennies Classic was one of the choices I like, with well-balanced poached eggs and flavorful hollandaise. For drinks, the flat white had a nice creamy feel, the caffè americano offered a deep, smooth kick, and the mocha was a great mix of espresso and chocolate. The vibe here is relaxed and welcoming, making it a great spot for a chill brunch or coffee. By fishenjoylife

Salt and pepper chicken dirty fries - unreal! 👌 wish they were open on an evening because I would defo eat there more often!

Been a fair few times now, always great hot food that tastes very fresh, good value as the buttys are huge! Best cafe place around for miles

A wonderful 16th century inn, you feel like one of the locals when you step inside! Staff are welcoming, friendly and warm, the landlords have done an amazing job in updating and keeping the historic features. Beautiful fireplaces and a double oak bar. Local ales and pub food done well! Visit on a Wednesday and there’s a pub quiz too! Dog friendly, vegan options on the menu, something for everyone. Would DEFINITELY return x

This gorgeous, completely refurbished pub is the jewel in the crown of Aberford. Visited it ages ago under its previous custodians and I have to say, the couple who took it over have waved a magic wand over this place. This is a picture perfect pub, utterly tranquil and cosy, amazing traditional atmosphere with all the homely touches that make a day out magical. We had the best lattes of our lives here also, which is a nice bonus. The staff could not be friendlier, funnier, or more eager to make your visit a great one. Best. Pub. Ever.

This is a proper pub! Great drinks that are value for money prices and the food is superb. Will definitely be coming back here again. It is a gem of a pub in a lovely little Yorkshire village

Nice village pub with tasty food in big portions and fresh pizza! There is a selection of traditional beers!! It's often host's live music; have sky sports and some outside tables!!

Beautiful food and lovely staff very friendly

Started a new job in area. Turned up for work really early, and fancied a breakfast. Came here, and it was amazing. Fresh full English with amazing service from the staff, especially Chloe. Can’t wait to come again! Thank you

Popped in for a bacon butty and a coffee, staff are always friendly and inviting. Butty was BANGING and coffees to match. Would definitely recommend considering it only cost £3 total. its a pleasant little cafe😊 If I was richer i'd eat here everday

This is the best food I’ve ever eaten! Very talented chef 🌟😊😊😊

Gorgeous food. Brilliant service. We will definitely be coming here again. The Goat curry was amazing

Food arrived early and piping hot. Absolutely delicious. Great to have a fantastic new restaurant in the local area. Will definitely be ordering again!
