Great little cafe. The food is well cooked and presented, and the cafe is really well run. I had a small breakfast which was 7, and included tea and a slice of toast. Very satisfying, I ate every mouthful and I was still full hours later.

A lovely and quaint cafe. Decor distinctly from the 80s, a period I am very fond of. We ordered a small breakfast each and wait was a bit longer than a typical cafe but it was worth it. All cooked from fresh not kept under a heat lamp. It was probably the best bacon I have had for a long time. Not very many tables but very busy. Prices very reasonable.

I stopped in Otley on a trip to Morecambe. I had a walk round the town, partly because I was looking for somewhere to have breakfast. I saw this place and it was ideal. The breakfast pictured is the 6.40 one on the menu. One of the best breakfasts and cafes I've been to (and I go to quite a lot).

Probably the best full English breakfast I've had to date. Quality ingredients, tasty and not too greasy. All at a good price and you get a brew.

Lovely little cafe, with a bit of retro feel to it, food was cooked just how I like it, did not have to wait too long a everything was freshly cooked. we went in 2 days in a row, and the young lady serving us remembered how we liked our food cooked. We will be going there when next back in Otley. I can not fault this place, good food, good service and good atmosphere.

What a great find, small cafe with friendly staff. The breakfast was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. For the price 6.40 large 5.40 small it’s good value. Thanks and we’ll be definitely back.
