Lovely cafe, very friendly. I enjoyed a nice coffee and slice of carrot cake on a hot Saturday afternoon. Plenty of seating including shade. My dog liked it too, as he got a bit of fuss and a treat from the staff. Very good canalside location, and it was worth the detour on our walk to visit. Plus there are goats!

Brilliant little canal side cafe. Very reasonable in price. Stopped for a quick break cycling down the canal. Got a lemon and ginger iced tea and a sausage roll it was spot on. Very friendly service. They have bike racks and even charge points for electric bikes if you have one. Brilliant views and large outdoor seating area.

Outstanding cafe with great food and great prices. Very friendly and polite staff, i've been a couple of times now whilst riding my bike along the canal. With their amazing sausage rolls and banging cappuccinos, this is a stop not to be missed. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed!

We walked from Skipton to Keighley along the canal recently and came across this superb little cafe. Excellent prices, great service and the one of the best home made sausage rolls and coffee for two under a tenner. Even Scoob the dog enjoyed.

Great little spot on the canal, really good quality food, we had a delicious fry up that was eaten so quickly I forgot to take a photo. The bacon was beautiful, really thickly cut. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. Also had a flapjack & scone that were great. Beautiful little spot with plenty of seating and some shelter if the weather isn’t perfect.
