Delicious food and lovely people who run it

I had the homemade Mexican black bean soup with bread and delicious rapeseed oil and my mum had the mushroom soup with a cheese toastie which can be made with vegan cheese. Both soups were hearty and gorgeous and soups are always vegan. Took away homemade Yorkshire curd tart as my mum didn’t have room. Highly recommend. Book to avoid disappointment. Closed Tuesdays I think

Pros: Delicious soup on a cold day, The staff, Nice ambience

Wish I lived closer!

Loved this café! We went in for coffee then thought it only right to upgrade our order given the home-baked vegan cakes on offer. Staff were super friendly and the café is perfectly appointed to reward the steep, scenic walk up from Hebden Bridge. I'd love to go back and try the rest of their vegan options.

There's a nice back room so don't be put off if it looks full from the front.

Delicious and so much choice

I was expecting to struggle getting food here, but there were so many options! Three cakes to choose from — a Bakewell which I got, chocolate cake and something else! Also five smoothies and loads of savoury choices. They’re also really friendly! Would recommend.

Pros: Lots of options, Quaint location, Friendly staff

Lovely Homemade Food

Both soups were vegan and delicious. There was a vegan option for most menu items and over half the cakes were vegan and again lovely. Clearly a lot of effort was made to make the experience as nice as possible and to cater for vegans. We went with 4 young kids and the team were more than happy to help. Would’ve been 5 stars if that was possible for non-veg places

Fantastic afternoon tea

We ordered afternoon tea (they ask for 24 hours notice) and it was amazing! £30 for two (without drinks) and we got porkless pies (delicious) I think they make them there, with olives and a brilliant tasty chutney, cheese sandwiches and spicy chickpea and avocado sandwiches (very very good), then a sweet cake stand with freshly baked (still warm!) scones (with jam and whippy cream), two cupcakes and fresh fruit. Everything was so fresh and tasty, and definitely more than we could all eat! Best afternoon tea I’ve ever had (vegan or not).
Lovely owners, dog friendly at the front, couldn’t fault it.

Pros: Afternoon tea
