I've been coming here for seven years - can you believe it's already been that long! - since it opened. It's gone through a few growing pains in that time, and a few chefs to boot, but I have to say that they seem to have found their stride in general offering a great lunch spot in Huddersfield. It brings the vibe of a Leeds coffee house to Huddersfield. The drinks offerings are fantastic and as far as I know they try to support UK or local suppliers and growers. My favourite place for a meat-free full English. It can occasionally be a bit chilly in there if you're staying longer than an hour - I wonder if they would invest in better heating or blankets? Service often top-notch, one or two front of house members really stand out in terms of how attentive they are and how well they look after you. Once you've been more than twice they're more than likely to remember you which is damn impressive because I'm willing to bet they have a lot of regulars at this point. Regular seasonal menu reviews as far as I'm aware which keeps things fresh. Try their supper clubs for a special night out - if you're a foodie you'll love it. Keep...
Read moreWent for breakfast on Sunday as the vegan breakfast was lovely, we did not realise the changed menu so we were very disappointed with what we received, no scrambled tofu which used to be a favourite which was replaced with boiled beetroot. I always loved the sourdough bread so ordered and extra slice but received the smallest pieces I've ever had there my 2 slices not equal to 1 of the usual. Portion size was extremely disappointing so 2 vegan breakfasts extra slice of toast and 1 Portion of chips with 2 coffees over £35 We have paid this before but we're happy with Portion sizes and quality of food. We mentioned this to a small blonde waitresses who kept saying this is how it's always been, it's always been like this. What she ment was always since the menu changes 2 months ago. The waitresses seated us and asked if we were ready to order while passing us the menu and tried to take plates while we were still eating she was also annoyingly loud. Very disappointed I've been going since it was...
Read moreOur first visit since change of proprietorship was 21 August 2019. It was previously known as The Blue Rooms which is still listed on the Internet but misleadingly states the establishment as being 'permanently closed'. We received a very friendly welcome and it's obviously a very popular place, especially because is located within the lovely Victorian Byram Arcade and is therefore mercifully motor traffic free as well as being under cover. Other than coffees and cakes we have not yet eaten there but we shall certainly return to try their menu. Very pleasant atmosphere with seating within the cafe or outside but within the arcade, which is rather nice too. The great bonus was when our lovely greyhound was spotted by a staff member we were immediately invited to sit either inside or to stay within the arcade area. Either way is welcome especially if the weather is inclement. That in itself is worthy of note because it is all too often difficult to find an eating place which...
