A Leeds-based traditional craft cafe, we serve delicious home-made food, made with locally sourced produce, including a range of teas, coffees and cakes. Our function room is available to hire and contains a small licensed bar. It is an ideal venue for exhibitions, baby showers, children's parties, hen parties, funeral wakes, training, meetings, interviews and rehearsals.

A variety of catering options are available. The function room can also be used for craft workshops and rates are available for tutors to book the room and handle their own bookings. We host a wide range of workshops and regular classes; from sewing and painting to children's classes and quilting. Looking for a regular 'drop-in' class?

We had a cracking breakfast after a walk at the nearby St. Aidan's nature reserve. The food was good quality - great eggs royale and full English. The staff were welcoming and lovely, coffee really hit the spot and it's a nice place to while away an hour or so!

Such a friendly place to visit. Food and snacks are excellent. Comphy indoor seating, plus outside seating. Craft room and items for sale are lovely, and some bring a smile to ones face. Highly recommended.

First time here today after searching the Internet for nearby tea-rooms we hadn't tried before. Very impressed. The patio area round the back was lovely, the menu offered a great selection, the service was brilliant and the food quality was spot on. It was nice to have a look in the craft shop, too. I'm sure we'll be back, probably on a cooler day when we can combine it with a walk around St. Aidan's.

Breakfast and coffee is excellent and well priced. Very homely feel to the place and an open fire in winter which we love. Craft shop and community hub on site too. Very close to the canal for a good walk afterwards. We hope to be back soon. Highly recommended!

Lovely place, buzzing at lunchtime. Lovely chatter, gorgeous baked potatoes and adorable crafts available. Only got a picture of an empty plate because it was too good to stop for a pic! 😅
