First visit. Friendly staff. Felt Covid safe. Gluten free menu. Reasonably priced. Only thing that spoilt it was toilet upstairs.
Dont know pontefract all that well, called into this little cafe while there and what a little gem it is. I only had a sausage sandwich, wife had a bacon and brie panini with salad, everything made/cooked fresh and absolutely beautiful. The owners were very nice, noticed a few people coming in that were obviously regular visitors which is also a good sign. Will definitely call in here again on our next visit to Pontefract.
Great coffee shop/cafe. Staff extremely friendly and welcoming - worth dropping in for a catch up with friends. Food value for money
Jolly's has the atmosphere of a country cafe. You get a nice smile from the waitresses and can walk in without paying for your meal first, which is nice. The menu has a good list of cold sandwiches and hot meals with the choice of some of the nicest sweets ever. Have eaten here many times. The only problem with eating here is that if you are a tall/big person or you come with a quite a few people, it can look a little small.
Wonderful small coffee shop. Friendly, local service and atmosphere. Enjoyed. Cheers
