Welcome to Our Story

We are a proud independent family-run café nestled within the magnificent grounds of Cliffe Castle Park and Museum. As a local family business, we've become a beloved destination for locals, families, and visitors from across West Yorkshire. We're more than just a place to grab a coffee – we're a community hub where heritage meets hospitality, run with the personal touch that only a family business can provide.

Being family-run means everything we serve is prepared with genuine care and attention. From our freshly baked cakes to our hearty breakfast offerings, we use locally sourced ingredients wherever possible, supporting other local businesses just like ours. We believe that great food brings people together, and there's no better setting for this than the stunning glasshouse gardens that surround our independent café.

Our Connection to Cliffe Castle

Cliffe Castle has been a cornerstone of Keighley's heritage since the 1870s, when it was built as a grand Victorian mansion. Today, it houses a fascinating museum and sits within beautiful parkland that includes historic glasshouses and carefully maintained gardens.

Our café is perfectly positioned to serve both museum visitors and park users, offering a peaceful retreat where you can reflect on the history you've discovered or simply enjoy the tranquil surroundings. The glasshouse gardens provide a stunning backdrop, creating an atmosphere that's both relaxing and inspiring.

We're proud to be part of this historic site's ongoing story, contributing to its role as a vital community resource and tourist destination in West Yorkshire.
