Artemis Bar & Restaurant in Calderdale

I'd been for fasting bloods at my GPs and walked into town perished in this awful bitter weather and had had no breakfast 🥣 So called in as it was the first place with hot food that I saw. WOW !!! Did they write the book about how to look after their customers in here ???Amazed, stunned & delighted to put it mildly. I'm veggie so asked for a non menu item which arrived with a steaming hot brew within about 7 minutes of me walking through the door but was it good or what ?? How anybody can make such a basic food item taste as good is beyond me but it was excellent and yes, I was tempted and added 2 pieces of parkin to the order which I shared with a friend later and that also was extremely tasty. Overall, reasonably priced, spotlessly clean, excellent customer service and yes I'll head there now any time I need a quick butty and know it'll be worth every penny. Thanks guys keep up the very good work 👷 ☆☆☆☆☆

This is a little gem of a cafe in the Piece Hall in Halifax. I came with a coach party from around the Blackpool area and we were dropped off at the Piece Hall first. It used to be a cloth merchants place many years ago and I worked just around the corner from here in an office in the 90’s and could not believe how much it had changed. It is full of little independent shops well worth venturing inside to look around. The stone work has been cleaned and the walkways/ floor redesigned. It’s beautiful now. A lot of money has been spent doing it up. They were just preparing to hold a Eurovision Song Contest party and I believe they held a Coronation party also for King Charles on May 6th. I ventured upstairs, there are lifts as well as stairs and came across G’s cakes. I love a nice latte and cake. Already members of my coach party were inside and I was served by a really lovely lady called Helen. She said she loved her job and you could tell. Nothing was too much trouble. I had a latte which was just perfect and a large slice of Victoria sponge. It was delicious. There were so many cakes to choose from. I was told they also had another outdoors eatery downstairs. It was so nice in G’s cakes, I went back before the coach headed onto Shibden Hall.

They've changed the menu to tapas recently and unfortunately the menu is expensive and limited for a tapas menu. Portion sizes are small, e.g. £5 for 4 small slices of bread and a dip, some tapas dishes are upwards of £15. I ordered a hanging kebab while the other 3 in my party did tapas and so their food came out way before mine and I was eating after they had finished so it ruined the experience. If we all had tapas it would be okay, but if none of us opted for tapas the only options are the kebabs so again the menu feels limited. A failed experiment.

The servers were super friendly and the food was extremely delicious. The chips were proper and the fish was beautifully battered and fresh. Will definitely return!

Really nice little café, we regularly visit crumbles as the food and service are always fantastic, Its very reasonably priced with good sized portions
