An excellent cafe serving great coffee and food. The staff were helpful and courteous. Prices good too. Recommended by friends and they were on the button.

Lovely place for brunch/lunch or coffee. I got a coffee and cake. Great for kids too as they have a kids menu and drinks. Lots of seating and nice & chilled atmosphere with lots of plants upstairs. Very friendly and hospitable staff. Will definitely be coming back!

The building is full of character. We had dirty chai and banana loaf cake and it was delicious. Very relaxed, excellent service and very understated but cool. Loved it! Dog friendly too.

Went for brunch with our 9 month old and big family- plenty of space for us, high chairs and baby change! Food was fantastic (mushrooms were a highlight!), coffee was superb and there were jugs of water available too. Staff were also so accommodating- I asked if they had a spare banana for my son and they gave us the last one! Very kind and would highly recommend it!

Fantastic cafe, delicious food and very welcoming. Felt very lucky to find this place. Satisfied ravenous teenagers and wide-eyed Gracie-dog devoured the pupacino.

Excellent modern cafe, serving excellent coffee, cakes, pastries, breakfast, brunch, and lunch. Coffee is excellently served, the various cakes and pastries are also excellent. They do breakfast but it's vegan, they also do specials, eggs benedict, pancaked, etc. The salt beef benin was very good. There's more seating upstairs which overlook the arcade alley. Probably the best coffee in Halifax town centre. Highly recommended.

Undoubtedly one of the best cafes in the West Yorkshire county or may be the UK. Food is very delicious with a level of spice(which usually suits Indians). Ambiance is very good. The service is top notch and the peeps are very humble. Really glad to find this in Halifax.
