Cafe Society in Kirklees

Always really super welcoming. Great choice of lovely food and always have alternative milk products. Great cosy atmosphere. Very retro. Love it

Friendly staff, varied menu, although food was nice not enough ingredients for the cost. Presented very well but some items very bland.

Ok we should have turned round when we saw the uninspiring menu and a couple of uncleaned tables but we remember this place in its old venue, it was ok in fact it was more than ok. I’m not sure what has happened since. Scalding hot coffee and the worst sausage sandwich I have paid £5 for since I last got coaxed into trying a football match vending van. I left it after a brave attempt at a couple of mouthfuls. Yes I should have complained but apart from one guy rushing around behind the counter there was literally no one to give feedback to. Not rushing back….ever

My boyfriend and I always walk past this cafe and say we want to try it. Well today we did and it was great. Ordered sweet chilli chicken panini, and chorizo and tomato panini with tea and a chocolate milkshake. All great, couldn’t fault it. Also, I came dressed in blue dungarees with a red top and the cashier called me Mario for the duration of our stay :D I thought this was hilarious and I love to see staff with a sense of humour.

First visit very impressed fabulous little place great food, friendly staff and good prices. Very nice menu suits all tastes !

Tried this cafe for the first time with my wife a couple of days ago. I had coffee and a "Yorkshire Ham sandwich". I had no problem with the coffee but the sandwich left a lot to be desired. I could hardly find the ham and it was that thin sliced stuff you get cheaply at the supermarket and also the bread was dry and stale. The best part was the tortilla chips you got on the side. The service was slow and no one even bothered to ask if it was ok. Much better cafes than this in Huddersfield so I would recommend you give this one a miss.

Assuming this is the same business, now located in Victoria Lane - the waitress who served us gave the impression she would rather be somewhere else. I ordered the humous wrap, but could see or taste any humous in it. It had whole grain mustard listed as one of the ingredients. Though this seemed unusual, it didn’t put me off as I like mustard. However, the mustard was overwhelming. I took it back to the counter as showed another waitress that the humous was missing. She got me another wrap but it was the same as the first one. So what I ate was a small wrap with a bit of salad and mustard. I don’t have a large appetite, but I was still famished after eating here.

Called in today for a refreshing ice cold latte and a slice of delicious lemon and blueberry gluten free cake to enjoy sat outside in this beautiful sunshine. Both was delicious was served by Shannon service was amazing nice friendly welcome with a welcoming smile. Good choice of drinks and cakes and was nice to see plenty of vegan and gluten-free choices too. Also had a food menu with also plenty of choices available think next time will have to try something from the menu because everyone’s food looked amazing and so tasty. Very clean establishment with a great atmosphere definitely will be back for more especially that cake it was to die for x

Best coffee in Huddersfield, - made all the more enjoyable by friendly staff and free wifi. Tasteful decor (by cafe standards) and good background music

Went for lunch after finding ourselves in Huddersfield one lunchtime. Been a few times prior to Covid lockdowns and it was always buzzing. Whilst we appreciated that the place would be quiet as it used to be well patronised by Kirklees employees the most of whom are still working home home, we were surprised to be the only customers at 12:30pm. We thought we ought to support so we stayed. Never again, the order took ages the hot beef sandwich was cold and whilst we didn't want salad with that, there was no salad with the egg mao wrap. No we didn't complain as we had waited long enough for something they couldn't get right and it was their only order! Never again.

Really disappointed not been for over a year since before lockdown and was really looking forward to it. We visited the New one on the corner near the library. Decor is stunning, nice and relaxing, very comfortable. The service was great. The food was below average. No gluten free options despite advertising there was. We ordered 2 large breakfasts, there was no changes available so despite for me saying no bread, bread still came. The sausage contained gluten, my partner who could it it said it tasted OK. We were told only one of us could have 2 eggs the other 1 egg as they had run out of eggs!! These weren't very nice. The hash browns also contained gluten, I didn't eat this but my partner didn't like his either. The beans were cold. Overall I ate just the mushrooms and bacon, these tasted good slightly luke warm but were edible. My partner ate over half of his so can't have been an amazing breakfast as he normally eats it all including anything I can't eat due to containing gluten. I ordered a decaf flat white, and a latte, I got a decaf latte and a normal latte. But these were both good. I may bob in for coffee again as the staff and surroundings were lovely but I won't order food.

Went for breakfast with my granddaughter. I would say the service and food was below average and very uninspiring.

Our group of women meet each month in the upstairs room. The owner Sam is very welcoming and friendly. We ordered our meals before our meeting started upstairs. I had the 3 egg mushroom omelette which was delicious and very reasonably priced with gluten free bread(at my request) and side salad. The meals were brought up to us and served with a smile. Our meeting was good and we were able to play our worship music without any complaints from the staff or occupants. I would strongly recommend using Cafe Society if you have a group you would like to start as there is no extra cost for using the room.(We are a registered charity) Thank you to Sam and all the staff for making our first meeting at Cafe Society such a joy.

Visited for breakfast with my husband today. Lovely cafe with a nice atmosphere and a selection of newspapers and books to peruse through whilst waiting for a freshly cooked breakfast. Our breakfasts were well presented, great portion sizes, and extremely tasty!...especially the scrambled eggs. Nice relaxing atmosphere with good background music. We will return!

Excellent venue with warm and friendly staff, great food and drinks. Excellent facilities; we hold our writing group upstairs on Fridays, absolutely fab venue xxxx

i googled to find gluten free places ,what a wonderful cafe food amazing my friend breakfast was lovely , only gripe no gluten free black sausage but everything else was we stayed in huddersfield 3 days and we ate there on each one , staff very friendly nothing to much trouble

Excellent venue. Love the decor and music. Great. Friendly staff. thanku for putting up with our mess. Highly recommend

Being celiac, I have found it very difficult to eat and and trust places for cross contamination. Food here is excellent, good price and very tasty. Much question though.... I was told I could not have the ketchup sachets as they were not gluten free and was provided with a small ramekin instead. Unsure why I couldn’t have the ketchup, never had issues before and after doing research I don’t believe they contain any wheat/barley etc.

Compared to 3 years ago, younger staff were not very welcoming and portions were very small. Coffee was excellent though. Air-drier in loos was inadequate.

Cafe Society is a great venue for a quiet lunch or coffee anytime, or for live jazz on Sunday afternoon (once a month). Friendly staff and a good choice of cakes, coffees and speciality teas.

Went here on a Saturday lunchtime with three friends, we had booked for 12.45 and our table was waiting with a reserved sign, it was busy so we were glad we had booked, although there were people coming and going on a regular basis. Having looked at the menu and decided from the list of good sounding food, I choose a ham, cheese and relish toastie on brown bread. You order at the counter and pay at the same time. I also chose a white chocolate key lime pie hot drink, total was just over £8. The drinks and food for the four of us came at different times although the staff knew we were all at the same table, one lady had just about finished her food before I got mine, in fact I had to remind a waitress that I had ordered a drink, which then arrived within a couple of minutes. The toastie came with a side salad and overall it was a nice choice to have, although there was only two slices cut in half, not filling for a growing lad, but ok for ladies who lunch!! The white chocolate drink was ok, a little taste of lime but not strong. I will be going back sometime, it is a good cosy atmosphere and the staff are nice and pleasant. 8/10.

Popped in when in town to have breakfast. Good value choice of bread for toast and a cheaper coffee if having breakfast. Will call again.

Thank you thank you thank you! I am coeliac and can’t tell you how many disappointing gluten free cakes I’ve had in my time. To come in on offchance and be able to take away three different sweet treats a gorgeous fruit crumble, ginger cake and the most delicious apple pie with caramel ever was such a treat please don’t take them off the menu! It’s so rare to find this and not a stale lemon drizzle in sight. Would seriously recommend. Looks like you have gf bread and wraps too? Plus lovely staff and seems a relaxed peaceful atmosphere. I may sound overly effusive I have literally no links with the place it’s just so rare to find! X

Popped in on a Bank Holiday Monday for a vegetarian breakfast. Staff were friendly enough, the atmosphere nice.

Cafe Society is such a super place to meet friends for coffee! I have done this a few times and would not want to go anywhere else now.

We were pleasantly surprised about this cafe. I had a jacket potato with 2 fillings. It was lovely and filling. A decent price. My other half had a sandwich. We were both impressed. The staff were very friendly. It's not suitable for people with mobility issues due to stairs. When we come to Huddersfield we will definitely come back here. A lovely place.

Every time I visit this lovely cafe, I am so impressed with the service. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The cafe itself is a great place to go for a chat and a coffee, or a bite to eat. Both soya milk and non-dairy spread are available for those who want them.

We found this cafe by the recommendation of another person and boy were we glad. I can safely say it has become our favourite place to eat. Breakfast is freshly cooked no grease fat cut of bacon lovely brown toast ( you can have white). We have a small breakfast and it has always been totally delicious.

Reasonable prices, wide range, nice atmosphere, friendly and accommodating staff. Lovely cakes and coffee!

My family and I visited Cafe Society recently due to their gluten free offerings for breakfast which I must say is severely lacking in Huddersfield as it is.

Always try and call here for a freshly cooked full English or beautiful poached eggs, top food, great staff, thank you

I meet others in my writers group there every Tuesday. It is quiet space always busy,wide ranging menu which includes vegans too. They do the best hot chocolate for my taste buds!!

Authentic unique and friendly. Lovely atmosphere, good food n fab coffee. Love it. Staff always go above and beyond. Home made foods. Yummy

I prefer to visit independent cafes rather than chains. However they can be rather a mixed bag. This is a good one. I had an hour to kill before a local meeting. They had good coffee in sensible sizes, for a very fair price. The flapjack I had was excellent, the WiFi worked and although busy, it was not oppressively so. Staff cleared tables quickly and well. The decor is fun with vintage film memorabilia and 78rpm records.

This place has a good central location and nice staff, except the owner can come across as a bit moody. Really good menu but they've recently put their prices up. The big downside is the steps and the smell of cooking. Toilet is always really...

We really enjoyed our visit to this super little cafe where the four of us and our 4 month old daughter were never rushed and made really welcome. My wife is breast feeding our daughter where she felt really comfortable in doing so here without anyone gawping at her and disapproving. Totally relaxing atmosphere with great food and an excellent cuppa.

Situated not far from Huddersfield Market, Cafe Society is a relaxed, unpretentious, friendly place for a quiet coffee and a...

Oh mi, qué lugar. Nos dirigimos por primera vez hoy, y por madre mía ojalá no lo hubiera hecho. El personal tiene tanta energía y entusiasmo como hojas de lechuga floja. Pedí una tortilla de hongos que venía con tostadas (es una broma) la tortilla de hongos, llamado era una tortilla con un puñado de setas en la parte superior, y honestamente probado duros. El llamado pan tostado. . Sólo así. vistazo a la imagen, lo dice todo, y llegó con un despliegue, no en el lado de la mantequilla. Ahora Pedimos patatas fritas (como se describe en el menú) cuando estas llegaron fueron espantosos patatas fritas. Todo lo que puedo decir, así que lo dejé todo, pero un poco de la tortilla no podía esperar a dejar este lugar antes de que el personal de zombie robaron mi energía restante.

Llamado para el almuerzo en la cafetería del centro de la ciudad. El ambiente es muy relajante con música encantadora 40 de fondo y tranquilamente el personal eficiente. La casa preparada la comida es muy sabrosa, agradablemente presentado, y a un precio razonable. Una experiencia muy agradable!

We call in here from time to time for a cooked breakfast. It is always excellent, with a good choice of meal sizes. The staff are lovely - very friendly and helpful. I see that the place has an excellent hygiene rating too. The decor and memorabilia around the place from the world of mid 20th Century jazz, film and musicals makes it feel a little like stepping back in time.

We where in Huddersfield for the weekend and looking for somewhere to have breakfast that would fit in with our SlimmingWorld diet , when we stumbled across cafe society , very appealing from the outside so we gave it a go. We both had mushroom omelettes that came with a salad and whole meal toast , very tasty for £5 . The menu for simple but just what we where looking for with sandwiches, quesadilla , wraps ,Pannini's salads and soups all looking gr8 will be back after for a jacket spud

Delighted to find Cafe Society as a gluten-free lunch break not far from St George's Square...they had a broad range of GF options, my carrot soup was pretty good, the GF bread that came with it was excellent and little touches like the choice of Von Shaf stainless steel teapot allied with gentle soundtrack made for a pleasant break.

Great cafe, friendly service, great for special diets!! GF and vegan options, highly recommend. Coffee is good as well- please note a few steps down into the cafe if you have disability, but accessible toilet.

Spacious and clean. Polite staff.I had a beef and gravy sandwich. Really nice.Have only been once but I would go again.

The staff here exude confidence and knowledge when it comes to gluten-free meals - I always feel entirely confident that my meal will arrive with zero cross contamination, and the choices is enormous.All their chips are oven chips (GF), they have GF wraps, bread and more, so that nearly every option on the menu is available in a GF version. They have GF cakes as well - really lovely sticky cakes always available that is a real delight when most cafes have nothing suitable at all.The children's menu is very well priced and they provide plastic plates and cups that really suit toddlers.They also have lego, books, stickle-bricks and more to keep your little ones entertained as they prepare the food. Highly recommended and our go-to lunch stop whenever we are in town.

I've actually been here on many occasions.Breakfast / brunch & lunch ....all meals were great.Service was excellent- friendly staff.Great surrounding-very relaxed.Definitely my 1st port of call for a bite to eat at any point of the day.

This is my 4 year old daughters favourite cafe, so I end up in here on average about once a fortnight.A decent range of hot and cold drinks, cakes and snacks and a food menu that is sufficiently varied but not overly extensive and reasonably priced. The best thing for me is the kids menu - you can't go wrong at £1.50 for a kids omlette! The quality of the food and drink is always reliably good, service is speedy enough for food that is freshly made and the staff are always friendly and helpful.Good range of books and toys to keep the kids entertained. The only area for improvement would be the addition of another toilet and proper baby change facilities (rather than a changing mat for the floor - doesn't bother me however I can see how it might make life tricky for others).All in all, my 'go to' cafe in Huddersfield where I know all the family will be well fed and welcomed.

What a nice surprise. A really spacious and relaxed café with a mixture of traditional table and chairs, easy chairs and high stools. The decor is based on a jazz café venue with records and images of jazz artists on the wall and they do have live jazz nights. The menu includes panini's, sandwiches, salads and jacket potatoes and a choice of daily soups. The staff are very good here. Recommended.

Lovely cafe and great choice of food for special diets. I'm vegan and GF and was offered lovely breakfast at great price. I use this cafe a lot now I've found it!!! Great staff, good prices and lots of lovely food!!

This is a quiet, tucked-away spot for a cup of coffee. Service is friendly and prices reasonable. A good place to meet for a chat.

Love coming to Cafe Society, it's always clean and the decor is lovely. Breakfast is always exceptional. There's always music and the people who work there are lovely. Cannot recommend enough!

Friendly cafe with plenty of seating and delicious light lunches - fresh filling and well presented. The coffee is locally roasted in Huddersfield.

Well worth looking up or in their case looking down as its in the lower level of the building :)A really comfortable café playing old 40s music. made to order quality food and snacks and a relaxing place to rest up when out shopping in town

Nice food, nice friendly people, great coffee. Not much more to say really. The scones and the currant slices are delicious.

Perfect for working lunches. Great coffee and staff. Wide range of tasty eats. Smack in town centre. Highly recommended.

Very pleased that I picked this place for a business meeting (never having been to Huddersfield before, and needing somewhere close to the station). The place was busy, but not too busy (never anyone waiting to be seated, which would have made us leave so they could have a table). Ambient music was enough to make pleasant listening for solo diners, but not too loud to make talking difficult.

One of the best gluten free full English breakfast o have ever had plus the staff and the owners are really nice and helpful .

Called in here for lunch with family including 2 children. There is a wide choice of sandwiches, toasties, wraps, quesadillas etc. which can all be made gluten free. There is also a choice of white or brown gf bread. The children were kept occupied reading the different books that were available to them and the staff were really helpful. After a lunch of various sandwiches which all arrived promptly and were delicious, we treated ourselves to dessert. The cafe has a whole cabinet of gluten free cakes and goodies as well as a separate cabinet of cakes for non-coeliacs. The gf chocolate and mint cake was lovely and the children demolished the gf chocolate cake. The whole lunch was lovely and it was great to have so much choice as a Coeliac. Would highly recommend a visit.

Excellent cooked breakfast, quality bacon and sausage served with mushrooms, beans, fried egg and toast. Fresh cheese and ham omelette with salad. Two cups of good coffee. Friendly service, great value.

I literally was just walking around Huddersfield to check out the town before I went to the National Coal Mining Museum in Overton and I found this place. I always love to visit a local joint when I visit somewhere so I decided to walk in. It was your typical mom and pop coffee shop with a cute ambiance. There was a young man sitting there reading the paper eating breakfast. This place has both food and drink. I did not pay attention much to the food, I know there is gluten free food because I saw it on the website later on. Anyway, while I was looking at the coffee menu I noticed they had soya available for a latte so I ordered a latte to stay. I was given the latte in a mug and I sat along the window near the young man reading the paper. From the window you can see a part of a park and then there was just the street. Overall, it was a nice cute little cafe to experience as I walked around Huddersfield. Should I end up in Huddersfield again, I'd look for it on Google Maps to find it again.

Definitely a place worth visiting because of the good-quality food and friendly service. However, I found it a bit too far from the University, which I attend and when I finally decided to go, there was no space to sit down.

I visit Cafe Society more and more frequently as they just keep getting better!The Toblerone cake is to die for, as are all the deserts to be fair. Great food, great service and great atmosphere, I'm hooked!

I go here every month to my aglow meeting and it's very nice food warm welcome and good service they carnt do enough the only fault is there oven chips not very nice but lovely salads

Love this kooky jazz cafe, serving some great food and deserts in a nice relaxed atmosphere at the edge of Huddersfield Town Centre. One of my favourite places to go!

I have visited Café Society several times and usually have toast and coffee. Today I had a breakfast. I didn't want sausage and was offered another piece of bacon instead. The food was freshly cooked - no pre-cooked and warmed up bacon etc, and served with a smile. The coffee came a few minutes before my meal but was piping hot and stayed warm until I had finished my meal. There is plenty of room to sit either at a table or on big settees. Daily papers are available to read and tables are cleared and cleaned as soon as is possible but there is no rush for you to move. If I have a criticism it is that the plates are not warmed thus making your food feel a little cold. All in all a very good meal at a reasonable price.

We looked on trip advisor for a decent cafe in Hudds town centre and came across this place. We had a really enjoyable lunch for a reasonable price and the atmosphere was lovely. The only down side was that we had to lift our pram down a few stairs to gain entry/exit. Overall a really lovely place for lunch. I would definitely return

I regularly stop in here for either a morning drink or a spot of lunch. The building is clean and cosy, the atmosphere is pleasant and the staff are absolutely fantastic! They offer a great selection and even cater for those with allergies! Well worth every penny. I highly recommend to anyone!

We called on a Sunday morning for a late breakfast.The service was spot-on - fast and helpful and the food wasn't bad at all!This is a spot for meeting friends and is well laid out with plenty of tables.Definitely worth a visit.

I visited yesterday for the first time with a friend that visits regularly. I had the vegetarian breakfast and it was delicious. The coffee was really nice too. Looking forward to visiting again

It was one of those moor-grimy days when the stones and windows of Huddersfield glower down at you. After an impulse purchase from Vinyl Tap, it was time to seek shelter and refreshment at a little café I know called Café Society, situated towards the far end of Byram Street in the direction of the open market. The café is somewhat tucked away on the lower ground floor of the immensely solid "Revenue Chambers", with an unobtrusive (for once in the Victorian New Town) art deco sign inviting one in.You go to the counter - none of this "please be seated and I will take your order business" - which would not work anyway. This was Saturday - busy but not throng - and my chicken sandwich with herby mayonnaise and a proper cup of coffee arrived in less than two minutes. A pot of coleslaw, salad and some of those tortilla crisps came with it. OK, I know it was difficult to get wrong but this cafe is for light lunches and snacks mainly, although you can get more substantial fare I believe. The young staff were extremely polite - lovely I would say.Fittingly having just come from Vinyl Tap (also recommended BTW), I sat at a coffee table overlooked by Billie Holliday, listened to background jazz - and perused the Yorkshire Post - to check up on the views of Yorkshire farmers and of course read about Town. Watching the feet of passers by through the steamy front windows, I was half expecting Alan Bennett to pop in.When I'd finished my lunch, I left - I didn't hang around doodling on one of those thingamabob things: hint to others to free up tables.Café, Society and Huddersfield might seem contradictory terms but, as the visitor will discover on arrival at the station, this is far from the truth. Not posh, a little bit civilised, and away from the multiples that spoil John William Street and New Street.

I just love the friendly staff who although it can be very busy, always have a smile. Really excellent gluten free menu, the best in town and always trying new things. Highly recommend.

Had a very lovely light lunch of panini. Staff are all friendly and polite. Would recommend to any one wanting a light meal

A friendly place, welcoming and very inviting with homemade cakes. All the food is prepared fresh and is really nice quality. Very friendly to families and the coffee is good too.

I visited this cafe most weekdays for a full cooked breakfast and coffee and I have to say that the quality of the food, drink and also the prices are excellent. The cafe is spaceous, comfortable and relaxing and also has good free WIFI.The cafe operates a “suspended coffee” scheme whereby they serve free beverages (and food, I believe) to those unable to purchase it. Whilst this is very admirable and also a very good and worthwhile cause, it does mean that they get some unpleasant looking (and sorry to say this) smelling characters coming in and out.On my last visit, I had just sat down with a full cooked breakfast when a well known Huddersfield homeless man appeared in the cafe door and literally stood there waiting for the attention of the staff. Because they were busy, it took them nearly 5 minutes to fetch him a take out coffee and during this time he hacked, coughed and spat on the pavement, whilst staring at people trying to eat their breakfasts. I had to leave my breakfast and walk out.I know that helping the homeless is important, but because of this they have lost a loyal and paying customer.

Okay place, shame about lack of ventilation, ended up smelling of cooking fumes. Good facilities for children with activities and high chairs, shame about the steps! Coffee okay but cake good. Service okay but staff seem more interested in chatting. Excellent location and parking nearby.

We went to Huddersfield for the last day of the food and drink festival. Unfortunately it was the day when the tail end of hurricane Edna came to town and washed the place out. Being a bit peckish when we arrived, but with no covered seating at the festival, we went searching for a late breakfast, and found Cafe Society a couple of streets away.This is a great place. Very nicely decorated with some good artwork. It was clean, comfortable and relaxing. The food is prepared fresh in the open kitchen area and was just what we needed. Delicious. We also had a couple of very nice coffees, and a slice of cake just as extra protection against the wet weather.The staff here are welcoming, friendly and very good at what they do. If we lived local I could see us being regulars.

Great coffee, good food and jazz playing quietly in the background.Nice place to meet with friends.Toilet is very clean. Seating is cheap and uncomfortable.

We visit this cafe usually on a Sunday. The food is prepared in front of you which is reassuring and the food is sourced locally and is delicious. Normally have full English or poached eggs on toast, neither greasy. Staff very helpful and the atmosphere is relaxed and not hurried. Have visited during the week and this cafe is busier and very popular. Nice to recommend a cafe that is local.

A great place to relax in the middle of a shopping trip. I feel comfortable as soon as walk in, and always know I’ll get a great cup of tea with a delicious bit of cake, or a tasty sandwich if I’m feeling more sensible. Breakfast is also good here. Café Society also has personality, compared to going in a chain café – it’s miles above a faceless corporation for taking time out of your day to recharge your batteries. The staff are fab too, very helpful if you need anything.

Calderdale and Huddersfield Coeliac group visited on Wednesday lunch time, 15 people attended. The menu was excellent, plenty of gf. choice we recommend this venue to all Coeliacs.

My friends and I are now regular visitors of this café, we always enjoy the food, the service is friendly and efficient and the prices are good! The atmosphere is relaxing, definitely one of the best places to eat in the town centre. Sunday breakfast is also very good, tied in with a visit to the local "Up-market" makes for a pleasant outing.

Worth seeking out, as the title of my review says, it's a lovely little place. Great ambience with it's theme. Love the old pictures, music and vinyl on the wallGood value for money, good quality food and a nice warm welcome!

Often busy downstairs and can be very warm in winter, but upstairs is more spacious and cooler. Service is efficient and friendly. We often have cheese and ham omelettes for late leasurly breakfast on a Saturday. Earl grey tem nicely served in a glass bowl, coffee also very good. Nice for a relaxing break.

We visit here quite regularly as we are a big fan of the quesadillas, they are very tasty. Service is quick and the food is very reasonably priced. There is a good choice of cakes which is nice to have as a treat afterwards.

Shopping in Huddersfield, we decided to pop in here for lunch. Shame it is at the 'wrong' end of Huddersfield as there were not many people in on a Friday lunchtime. My friend had a roast beef sandwich with thick gravy along with one of their speciality coffees. I chose from the Christmas Special and had an quesadilla with tomatoes, onion and mozzarella served hot with guacamole and salad - unusual and absolutely delicious. Very reasonably priced.

Me and my friends are always coming here for lunch or tea&coffee. It served gorgeous home-cooked food, all from fresh. The paninis are devine.

Cafe society does a really good value for money veggie breakfast, and supports local community with money off for the local W.I. and being involved in the Suspended Coffee project. They play a lot of jazz too, which is great by me!

Proper coffee made by someone skilled, what more can you ask for. Supports the suspended coffee scheme as well.

Fab in lots of way.....but especially somewhere pleasant if you want to sit & take time over breakfast with friends. Also child friendly, good menu and reasonably priced. Staff very friendly & personable.

We've eaten here on a few occasions and always enjoyed the food and the environment very much. The soups and omlettes are particularly good and everything is excellent quality. The decor is quirky and theme is great. However, even though there are more than ample staff (8 on our last visit - how do they make a profit!!), customers still have to go to the counter to order whilst the waitresses stand around looking a bit bored. They are really friendly when they take your order at the counter and when they bring your food to the table, so going the extra mile and taking your order at the table would make it even better. This is a very good cafe which deserves to be really popular, but just needs to find something at street level to lure the punters in as it has always tended to be fairly quite when we've visited.

We stumbled across the cafe for the first time today. The cafe is spacious and had a varied menu. Our food arrived quickly and was delicious. There is a lovely feeling to the place and we did not feel rushed during our visit. We visited with my 21 month old Grandaughter and we felt it was really child friendly. There was a varied children's menu which was really good value for money and we were made to feel very welcome.A great experience and we would highly recommend to anyone.

A great cafe in Huddersfield serving delicious, well made coffee. Gluten free cake is always available and today we tried ginger toffee fudge cake, mmmm! There is a lovely relaxing ambience with great music and lots to read.

As a coeliac living in Huddersfield it's nice to know I can have something to eat with the confidence it has been prepared in a gluten-free way. Unfortunately, there are cafes/restaurants that serve GF food but don't fully understand the complexities of maintaining a GF procedure throughout. After visiting Cafe Society on numerous occasions and watching their food prepping I'm more than happy with their GF procedures. I agree with WanderingGerbil regarding the service but maybe, Mr WG, you need to plan on getting there earlier.

Zipped in to this delightful cafe bar for a quick bite during a busy working week. Loved the feel and atmosphere of the place. Chilled and fresh with a vintage feel, gramaphones and vinyl on the walls and a great freshly cooked light menu. I had a ham salad which was really crisp and colourful as well as tasty... oh and thumbs up to the hmemade coleslaw!

The welcome is always warm and the food excellent. I come here often with my partner for brunch, I have business meetings here and I run a monthly networking group upstairs. The owners, Alec and Lizzy, are always welcoming and friendly and the home cooked food and lovely cake is worth every penny.

I often pop in here for a cup of tea, and usually cake too, if I need a quick break. The staff are helpful and friendly and the products good quality and good value. The cakes are tempting and it is hard to choose! There is a relaxed atmosphere, and it feels like an individual place to be, with a jazz style theme in the décor and menus. I have always been served quickly and I do notice as I’m always rushing off – but if I do have time this is a nice place to linger.

We revisited Cafe Society during a short visit to the area during the bad weather in January and again during April. The quality of the meals, all cooked to your specific requirements, continues to satisfy, a most pleasant experience, Highly recommended...

Used a few times for brunch, very good. Well above standard of a "normal cafe". Good service, very friendly.

Headed here after an overnight stay in Huddersfield, after readin TA reviews. Wasn't at all disappointed. The cafe itself is large, clean and has a very relaxed atmosphere. The family who run it are nice and friendly.The breakfasts we had were great, and served on warmed plates (it's the small things that make the difference).Free WIFI and they were happy to let us plug our phone in to charge.Definitely recommended.
