Amazing food and amazing service. First visit to the cafe, stumbled across it on Google Maps and I’m glad I did. The full English was tasty and you could tell that they were using premium ingredients. One of the party wanted some off-menu dish due to gluten intolerance and they accommodated this with a smile and no issues. It’s got a nice courtyard where we were sitting, but also seems quaint inside. Definitely recommend this cafe and I’ll be going back again. It’s dog friendly too, so a great pairing with a walk along the canal.

First time visit to this cafe and what a gem! Ordered a cafetiere for two and a full English breakfast and a vegan breakfast. The food was delicious and the menu states it's locally sourced. The meat breakfast was 2 sausage, 2 bacon, mushrooms, tomato, beans , hash brown and toast for just under £10. Everything was good and fresh. The coffee is also local to the cafe and was a good cup full of flavour. I will visit again the future!

Lots of gluten-free options, which we really appreciate! My husband is coeliac and has enjoyed both the gluten-free halloumi and sweet chilli wrap, as well as the gluten-free chocolate cake—both were absolutely delicious. It’s also a very dog-friendly place; there’s even a menu for the dog to have a treat! A really lovely spot with warm, welcoming people. Highly recommended.

A lovely little find to finish off our quick visit to Halifax! Limited seating inside but the weather was nice enough to be outside. Service was second to none, so friendly without being intrusive. Breakfasts were beautiful. Cake indulgence will definitely be on the cards for the next visit! From “the love birds” xx
