Cafes in Ilkley

“Wonderful friendly staff who went above and beyond for my little girl who can be very picky with food. Highly recommend.”

“This is a very cosy, friendly cafe in a great location in Ilkley. All four of the dishes at our table were delicious: bean & feta salad, Moroccan lamb wrap, chicken & brie sandwich, and smoked salmon and avo fresh gf bread. I highly recommend lunch there if you're in the area.

Dietary restrictions: The gluten free bread is some of the best I've had!”

“My first visit and I loved it! All about the place is so cosy and natural. The service was just so warm and friendly-- can't wait to go back!!!
Perhaps the highlight was the coffee. Bring it on.”

“Great cakes and drinks. Nice well rounded menu. Staff are great and friendly. Lots of seating area.
Highly recommend it

Parking: Streets around require permit.

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible”

“Had a lovely Mother's Day meal yesterday, made even better by our waiter, Nick. He was incredibly attentive and nothing was too much trouble! Great food and 5 star service - such a good experience on a very busy Sunday!”

“Lovely little coffee house. The meal was very well presented (ploughman's) served with very tasty home made chutney. The only thing I would change is I would have turned off the "lift music" that was playing in the background, but I'd certainly rather visit this little coffee house rather than one of the chains in the town.”

“What a lovely spot!!! Called one cold Thursday afternoon for coffee and cake whilst visiting Ilkley for the first time. Hadn't seen many cafes ( and I refuse to queue outside and pay inflated prices of a certain other cafe in the area!!) when we spotted this by the car park.The cafe was lovely and warm. It is really quite big with some of the tables being out in an old, covered arcade. There were even blankets out here for the more colder days. There are tables for two or four then longer tables for larger groups. The tables and floor were spotless, the staff were welcoming.Our coffee was good and hot and full of flavour and the coffee cake was a proper Yorkshire size!!There are some vegan options - plus ice cream for dogs! And I saw a lady come for take away.It wasn't until I started looking at the boards in the arcade that I realised it was a Community type cafe and I started to take more notice. It was wonderful to see the adults working together! What a fabulous place!So, if it does take a minute or two longer for your food to arrive , don't moan , just think how lovely it is that people with disabilities are being given the opportunity to be trained up for a job! The beautiful young lady that served us couldn't have been more pleasant!! She had a constant smile on her face!! How gorgeous! She looked so proud to be working - and so she should be!Two words of warning - you do need to pay by card ( not a problem to the vast majority of people ) and, I've been told, they sell out of scones quickly on busy days!!So, if you give them a visit remember - There is still some good things happening in this world !❤️❤️❤️Ps we added £1, as a donation , to our bill and they were so genuinely pleased. We won't miss the £1 but it means a lot to them.”

“Great coffee shop, the food looked fantastic, although we didn't eat there. The young staff team were superb, highly engaged, and very kind, will definitely be back.”

“A lovely, ‘special’ place to sit with mum over a cuppa and write invitations to her forth coming 80th birthday party”

“What a delightful deli cafe! I can see why it's so popular, both as a cafe and for takeaway food and drink. Four of us called in between sessions at Ilkley Literature Festival and we all loved the food we had ordered. The quiche with salad was simply delicious and my friends who had the sandwiches really enjoyed those as well. The cakes looked fabulous too. I ordered a weak, decaf latte and it was perfect. I discovered this deli/cafe simply by accident - the owner/shop assistant was kind enough to allow me to use the toilet before I started a walk with my walking group nearby. Otherwise, I'd never have realised it was there or seen the delicious looking (and tasting) homemade dishes there. We will be back again this coming week between our Ilkley Literature Festival sessions. Highly recommended, both as a cafe and takeaway ... and for the deli produce.”
