Just discovered this place today after a walk along the canal past Saltaire towards Shipley. You can see Gaffé from the canal towpath and then cross the bridge ahead and come back on yourself. It's a great treat as part of a walk. Had carrot cake and a latte. Perfect coffee and the cake was light and delicious too. It's dog friendly and there were free dog treats! The staff are lovely and very attentive. You can buy art, ornaments, small clothing items and all sorts of deli treats. So glad to find a new spot with such quality provisions. It was lovely and warm too on a very chilly day with fantastic views of the canal. It has a large outdoor area, so looking forward to sitting outside in the warmer days ahead. Fantastic!
Cute little coffee shop with tasty treats, playful vibe and friendly staff. Glad we stopped by when passing through. We had the red velvet cookie and carrot cake with a flat white and mocha. Really tasty all round
delightful bright place, with great coffee, pastries and a view! Can even buy cups, earrings, prints and other things. Staff are always lovely and more spacious since the new revamp. Range of vegan bakes with are really good! Always get the cruffins when we come here!
Kind and helpful staff! Ordered the strawberry oat milk matcha and its very good quality! The pistachio croissant was divine !! Thank you :)
The porch out the front is a right sun trap and the atmosphere inside and out is welcoming and lovely! Fran and Lisa are great hosts and the coffee is top notch and so much locally sourced goodies! 😇 Highly recommend ☕️
