I have visited HealdGreen Hebden Bridge at least twice a year. The last 2yrs going to Solo Cafe. Always good food and coffee. My daughter, husband, and myself were all visiting for a breakfast treat, from my daughter. We ordered our food. Coffees great. guy came from the kitchen and said, "So busy Saturday, there was no bread as requested from the menu, but I could have a roll for sausages. No problem. What he did not inform us was that there was LITERALLY hardly any food to serve up in the kitchen. The 2 women who came in after us were told no food being served. 11. 15 am!!. They left. We were busy chatting, so we did not think how this would impact on us. 1. Cold fried eggs on thin white bread.Husbands food 2 Should be door stop cheese on toast. Thin white bread with a thin, literally thin layer of cheese. Cold again( my daughters order) None of us wanted to kick up a fuss as my daughter was treating us, and we did not want to spoil the occasion. It was only later that day we all confessed that the food was terrible. Why not be honest, NOTICE on the door drinks only, why turn away people after us SAYING NO MORE FOOD and not inform us of lack of food in the kitchen ! Cook said to us , "No staff and had been so busy on Saturday very little in." This, after we ordered and waited and waited and waited. £25 My daughter paid for an utterly poor breakfast for us No heating, it was really cold, and kept coats on. Thought it was because the cafe had just opened!!!. Shame on owners. We will never visit again. Advise others to think twice after this Sundays offering.

Fabulous breakfasts on two successive days. Eggs Benedict with local sausage and bacon had me close to tears. Exceptional. Friendly and speedy

One of the best breakfasts ever. We went on two successive days. Eggs Benedict with local sausage and bacon was exceptional. Lovely friendly service.

Can’t really give a rating as it was closed at 16.15 even though the website said 17.00. Most disappointed as we travelled some distance to visit here.

Used to be excellent, hence the reviews. Kitchen closed so no food. Different staff each time we’ve visited. Tried today just now, not open despite earlier advertised opening time. This place has had its day and has become something of a joke, which is a pity

Very friendly cafe. Dogs welcome. Relaxed and easy place to sit and chat or just observe the world go by.

Super nice staff, super nice coffee and the hummus and bread was delicious. Definitely coming back more often. Ivan was great, super chatty and a lovely member of staff.

Cafe Solo is proof that just because you've always wanted a cafe does not mean you should buy one if you don't have the experience to back it up.I used to get coffee from them 5 times a week and food 3 times but now ill only get something from there if someone else has bought it for me.The decor is awful and doesn't look finished, the ingredients are insanely inferior to what they used to be, the coffee can only be served small because whoever bought the large takeout cups hasn't been a cafe since the 1980s.Its up for sale (again), good.

We were hoping for lunch.Arrived at 12-30pm and were told only coffee and cake.A shame as it was my first ‘go to’ coffee shop in Hebden.
A reasonable price, staff very friendly and engaging, dog friendly, small and cosyKid-friendliness: Saw kids in the the café being treated well, kids drawings on the wall

The best avocado on toast ever! All the food is good. Excellent coffee and friendly staff. Vegan options too.
