Popped into Cafe W and ordered a matcha latte with vanilla and a pistachio cookie. The latte tasted nice and had a simple heart design, and the cookie was delicious. Charley, the barista, was friendly and added a welcoming touch to the visit. There’s also a nice selection of cakes and slices. A great spot for a quick coffee and treat.
Went for coffee after recommendation from colleague. Coffee is below the standards, No presentation, Made in haste. Ordered like 4 different drinks to check the quality. Overall Not the Money’s worth, Not as good or as stated in the pictures. Better have it next door or at Cafe Nero’s next door.
Amazing! The staff is really friendly and they even made me a cool ice tea which wasn’t on the menu. Peppermint and Peach! Bonus for delicious cakes and sandwiches, not to mention the great atmosphere!!
Great vibes and coffee! Stunning!
Arrived into a wet bradford hoping to grab a coffee in the bookshop before Matilda to discover it doesn’t open with Waterstones so had to go into the shopping centre instead at 9:00
