The Name Of The Secret Yorkshire Cafe In Mirfield That's Famous For Its Cakes?

Ever heard of a place so good, so popular, it does not even need a sign above the door? Sounds like something out of a story, right? But it is real, and it is in West Yorkshire. In the town of Mirfield, there is a little cafe that locals simply call "Tommy's."

But if you go looking for a sign with that name, you will not find one. This wonderful spot is actually called Qream T's Cakery, and it has become a legend for its incredible cakes, delicious lunch options, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay all day. It is a place that proves that when you are brilliant at what you do, word of mouth is all the advertising you need. So, what is the big deal about this place?

The mystery of the nameless cafe in Mirfield

Imagine asking for directions to the best cafe for cake and coffee, and someone just says, "Go to Tommy's." That is exactly what happens in Mirfield. But there is a catch: the cafe is not officially called Tommy's, and there is no sign to help you out. It is a bit of a local secret. The real name is Qream T's Cakery, founded six years ago by the man himself, Tommy Turner.

This is not just a one off success story; Tommy now has a second popular cafe in Beverley, East Yorkshire. Finding the Mirfield one involves a little bit of detective work, but once you arrive at 146 Huddersfield Road, you will see why it is always busy. The place is a testament to Tommy and his team; the story of its success continues to be written by its many happy customers. Journalist Andrew Robinson visited on 17 Nov 2025 and found the place buzzing, with nearly every table taken just before lunch.

What is on the menu at Qream T's Cakery?

The menu proudly states that "our treats are what we are known for." And they are not kidding. There are always at least a dozen different treats to choose from, all made in their own cakery. But it is not just about the sweets. The lunch menu is packed with delicious options that get just as much love.

Take the "stack" sandwich. It is not your average sarnie. This one features two thick slices of sourdough piled with Prosciutto ham, creamy avocado with a jalapeno kick, salty feta, rocket and sundried tomato. Even the side salad has its own dressing. And of course, the cappuccino is described as fabulously frothy, the perfect partner for any meal or treat.

The cakes, brownies and other amazing treats

Right, let us get to the main event: the cakes. This is what Qream T's is famous for. When asked about the most popular item, staff pointed to the lemon drizzle cake. One slice proved why. It was generous, moist and packed with zesty citrus flavour.

Here is a taste of what you might find on the counter:

• Classic scones
• Chewy cookies
• Rich millionaire shortbread
• Gooey brownies
• Traditional flapjack

One reviewer even said the brownies will "Change. Your. Life." That is a bold claim, but it shows how loved these treats are.

More than just food: the atmosphere

A great cafe is about more than food. It is about how it makes you feel. Qream T's decor is quirky and beautiful, with floating flowers, teapot decorations and floral wallpaper. Classical music plays softly. It is cosy, calm and perfect for unwinding with a slice of cake and a hot drink.

What customers are saying

The reviews are exceptional. Qream T's Cakery has a 4.9 out of 5 rating on Google from almost 80 reviews. Customers praise everything from the atmosphere to the food to the warm service. One TripAdvisor reviewer said:

"Beautiful decor, gentle background music, friendly server, delicious soup and toastie and a great cup of hot coffee. What is not to like?"

Another called it a "quintessentially British tea room" with a "warm, welcoming atmosphere."

And of course, there was the unforgettable declaration:
"The selection of brownies will. Change. Your. Life."
