Bloomfield Square — Restaurant in Leeds

We took a small diversion on the road home from Bridlongton to glasgow to visit Bloomfield Square and it was really worth it.

The cafe is even more attractive on the inside as it is on the outside. The decor inside is cool and eclectic with great art work on the walls and retro furniture that adds an extra touch of cool to the already relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and we enjoyed chatting with them about flthe cafe and where we were from. The service was excellent and they advised me about their extra strength coffee as standard.

If you like weaker coffee get a large 😁 I had the lemon cake and my wife had a Yorkshire scoundrel, a cross between a fruit and cherry scone with lots of butter. My daughter had the shot bread and it was all delicious!

We all loved the cafe and got a plenty of pictures of the print art and the cosy corner piano snug. If you're your ever passing Otley do yourself a favour and go, you...

Not baby friendly at all!

Went as a group of 5 with babies, made to feel extremely uncomfortable and unwelcome by the owner. Nasty comments were made when my baby fussed for 5 minutes about how we were going to drive customers away and how I should “just put a dummy in” even though I was clearly trying to calm her.

We were also asked to either get more coffee or leave as there was a group of 8 waiting, even though there was a party of 2 on a bigger table who had been there longer than us. We asked for a minute to decide what we were going to do as we had sleeping babies, when we decided it was best to go the owner made passive aggressive comments about how the other group had left and he had lost out because of us.

There was also a whole unopened section of tables that could have been used.

Such a shame the owner was so rude and unwelcoming as the coffee was nice, could have made regular customers out of us but definitely won’t be...

Been here a few times and to be honest the retro atmosphere is great..(thus 3) However had coffee a few times usually Latte on the first occasion asked for one shot and received advice from the owner in regards to it affecting the quality of taste with only one shot... (for me to ask for 1 shot is my preference) On the latest visit had Latte which for me was only warm and by the end of the cup was cold... On way out mentioned this to the owner who quoted that he serves his coffee at 60 (unless requested hotter) I presumed he was quoting centigrade.. On speaking to another source and checking online the coffee temp should be about 73* C 155-165F and the milk 90*C 195F-205F... But my main observation was the condescending way in which the owner of Bloomingfields cafe delivered his advice... No return...
