The prices are honestly ridiculous for what you get. The Spanish omelette was about £10.50, yet the portion was tiny and tasted like supermarket food rather than something freshly made. At that price, you’d expect a proper homemade omelette and a decent portion size - not something that looks like a child’s plate. Salad presented weirdly- 2 salad leaves, one small tomato, 2 tiny pieces of pepper and cucumber and one blueberry? Like.. what?? The place is cosy inside, but the food and value really let it down.
This is a very special place. It's beautiful inside and I love the vintage feel with lovely antique furniture, fireplaces, exposed brick walls, with soft lighting - so cosy and feels like a real home from home. The courtyard garden out the back is just beautiful with gorgeous plants and flowers - such a peaceful space to sit and enjoy. The staff couldn't be more friendly, welcoming and accommodating and the service is always good. The food is delicious. I love that everything is so fresh - no wilted salad leaves here! I had to ask where they get the delicious bread it was so good (Bondgate Bakery in Otley, and they use local butchers too). The prices are reasonable - and here you're guaranteed a tasty meal, good tea and coffee, fabulous cakes, and a lovely ambience (unlike many other cafes that charge the same or more). I booked for an afternoon tea last month and it was fantastic. It is also lovely to see the history of the place being celebrated - all the old photos of the building and the previous shopkeepers. Every time I come here it feels like a real treat.
Had a lovely coffee with my Mum here last week, friendly staff, owner told us a bit about the history of the place and the photographs/decor that link to previous owners! Café full by the time we left, wonderful spot - thank you!
Love this cafe with its historical themes and displays, its vintage feel and currently its warm and welcoming festive feel. The staff are all so friendly and the food all locally sourced. It’s been really interesting how they have put events on recently. The Christmas readings evening looked amazing on Facebook and wish I’d been there, but will definitely be revisiting soon. Love it there.
We cannot walk past this cafe without our dog dragging us inside! Could be the dog treat jar 🤣! We enjoy our treats too. Super coffee, lovely lunches and tasty cakes. Cosy, comfortable and welcoming cafe with swift and friendly service. Worth travelling to Otley for.
