Went to a wedding afternoon tea. The stairs were a little steep for some people...but it was a lovely private area and we had an amazing afternoon tea and prosecco on arrival. With great friendly helpful staff. Highly recommended!
Had been wanting to visit here a while but unfortunately was slightly disappointed, we seemed to have visited at a pretty busy time which probably had an impact but the staff were friendly and it's a cute place. I liked all the decorations etc however we did have to wait quite a long time time (over half an hour) for the wrap which my cousin found to be a bit underwhelming and the houmous and bread - the focaccia was amazing though! We were pretty cold but appreciate it's a big space to heat on a cold day and there were attempts to with heaters about, and multiple plates had soap suds still on them. At least they'd been washed at least but could have done with a proper dry too 😅 So overall not a terrible visit but think expectations might have been a bit too high.
There doesn't seem to be table service. A single customer as I was will find it difficult to find a table, go back to the counter and make an order, especially if you have shopping bags. The food is good, and it came quite quickly.
Visited here with my three friends to celebrate the pending arrival of my little boy. We were treated so well, they’d popped us in a lovely quiet corner by the window upstairs. The food was absolutely delicious, wow, the cakes are amazing! Staff are so friendly, no wonder it’s always so busy here it’s an absolute gem of a place to visit in Wakefield.
Lovely little cafe, good selection of food and very friendly staff. Have been in multiple times and always left happy
