Angels Rest Cafe and Christian Book Shop in Calderdale

Came here for a hot drink as staying at Premier Inn, had wanted a cooked breakfast but not serving at the time - they happily made a 'proper' coffee, and gave me a warm welcome and wasn't rushed.Very good prices. Well recommended for a sit down and a chat

One of the best cafes in Halifax. Staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. All the food is home made and very tasty. They also provide a service for anyone that wants a hot meal and drink and don’t have the funds to pay for it

This little cafe is tucked away near the Town Hall in Crossley Street.Blink and you will miss it. There is a warm welcome for every customer, a good home cooked lunch and dessert for under a fiver. There is an obvious Christian presence here, but it is Christianity in practice. The staff are thoughtful and kind, elderly regulars are fussed over, every need attended to. The kitchen is visible and spotlessly clean. The ethos of humanity and help offered to homeless people on the streets of Halifax is ever present in this little place. The food is wholesome and good. try it and support the good cause!

Food made with love the cafe was filled with love absolute loved the service magic they served the homeless with love how I'd tell anyone passing to call in the cakes are to die for

You can always be assured of a warm, friendly welcome and excellent home made food - pity it can't open more often.

Best coffee and cake around, friendly staff and a lovely bright atmosphere an overall really nice place to go.

Passing through Halifax yesterday I was absolutely delighted to see that The Angel's Rest Café is open once again! You can most definitely count on me being back there again very soon indeed!

This is a great café. The food is all freshly made to order and the soups are all handmade on site which makes it stand out compared to the microwave offerings you usually get. The coffee is served in mini cafetieres and the tea in individual tea pots which I love as it means the drinks can be as strong/weak as you like. If you want somewhere to relax and enjoy good food without spending a fortune this is the place to go. You also get the benefit of knowing you are helping a local charity as the café supports Halifax Street Angels.

Great quality and value. Friendly service. Easy to find. I had a sandwich and cake. The coffee is one of the best I have had in a cafe.

a little gem of a place opened in the centre of Halifax near the town hall and YMCA. Angels Rest offering freshly made sandwiches, home made soup and a selection of cakes and buns mmm. I found the prices very reasonable, the soup and sandwich lovely and a nice bright cafe to take some time out in. The staff were very friendly too and I will definitely go back. Don't take my word for it - go and try it for yourselves :-)

Not my words but those of a fellow diner today at The Angel's Rest Cafe. Praise indeed! Whenever I am in Halifax and fancy a good cup of tea or coffee then this my place of choice since it's opening in September this year. Choice of blends (decaffeinated also available) to accompany a generous slice of cake (lovely moist Dutch Apple, Stem Ginger cakes or maybe a macaroon being my personal favourites) being a very pleasing way indeed to pass half an hour or so as a break from the rigours shopping! There is also a wide variety of sandwiches - all freshly made to order - and, of course, the soups which are made on the premises using only fresh and locally sourced ingredients. Very reasonably priced too - even more so when a soup and sandwich are taken at the same time All served up by friendly, helpful and efficient voluntary staff with the shared goal of raising funds for Halifax Street Angels and their desire to keep people safe in the evenings on the streets of Halifax and surrounding district. Such a great cause for sure. Congratulations Angel's Rest Cafe on your success thus far and hoping that it will continue to build and blossom in the future!
