Always enjoyed going to this cafe but not this time I ordered a jacket potato with chicken tikka and I was enjoying till I ate a piece and it burnt my throat and my insides out with led me to waste the rest. I also haven’t been able to eat or drink properly for rest of the week so won’t be coming back sorry.

Start of the day. Asked the lads i was working with if they knew anywhere good for breakfast. They said follow your nose into the market. Having a quick walk from the train station, I smelt the delicious aromas wafting up the stairs of the market in Shipley. Popped down the stairs and was greated by a lovely smile of the lady that worked there. The cafe was Lovely! The lady that served me was polite and just lovely! Food was delicious just what I needed before a days work. Poached eggs were perfect and full of flavour. Everything was cooked just how I like it and it was delicious. Coffee was tasty, and I loved the cup and saucer. Chairs were big comfy well padded and the establishment was clean and tidy. A full english breakfast and a cuppa for less than a fiver. What more could a man wish for on a rainy Monday morning. Will be back next time I'm up here Propper breakfast!

A nice local cafe. The staff are friendly and will try to help however they can. They don't mind changing a menu item for you. Strange, but they do the best burger in Shipley.
