A first visit this morning for elevenses. The ambiance is certainly lacking, but the place was warm and comfortable on a cold January morning. Service could not have been quicker or more efficient by a pleasant young lady. The price was quite acceptable and although payment was by card only, which I disagree with, I can fully understand the reasons for this on the grounds of security.
VERY DOG FRIENDLY - HADI THE MANAGER WAS SO KIND! 😁🐾🐾 I had a fabulous lunch today with my sweet pug Bella, who was really hungry after a 3-mile walk along the river in Otley. The lovely manager Hadi made us so welcome. She made Bella a yummy puppuccino, then cooked her two amazing sausages for lunch! 😀 Such great and friendly service. Bella had the best time - thanks so much and we'll see you again soon 😊. Woof woof!
Atmosphere and service was good, but the ice cream was poor. The panna cotta was OK, the mint and chocolate was NOT good; very artificial tasting. £5.75 for 2 scoops
Nice little cafe. Friendly staff. Was great to be able to grab a drink after we’d been playing at the park. The drink was quite dear. A little selection of sandwiches, crisps and sweet treats.
A useful place to drop in for a quick bite or beverage while on a walk along the river. I had a pot of tea for £2.10. The cafe is wheelchair accessible, there is a toilet to the right of the entrance and payments have to be made by card only.
