Best caramel latte's in the area, food is very fresh and extremely tasty. My favourite thing about The Vie is the staff and the owner, they are excellent! 😍 Just returned home after the evening bistro, and everything was amazing! The food was delicious, the drinks were excellent but as always the staff were the best part of the experience. 💯 % 🔥 If you haven't been yet, you're missing out! 😁😊👍🍰☕

I recently celebrated my birthday with a breakfast at this fantastic café, and it exceeded all expectations! I enjoyed the Full English breakfast, which was perfectly cooked and incredibly flavourful using local meat. My boyfriend had the Croque Madame, and he was equally impressed. The food was outstanding, and the drinks were equally delightful—my Iced Americano was refreshing, and the lemonade with dragon fruit was divine. The service was exceptional from start to finish. We were seated immediately, and our waitress was attentive and friendly throughout our visit. The staff's professionalism and warmth truly made the experience special. If you're looking for a place with delicious food, great drinks, and top-notch service, this café is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

I love the Menu and the service here. But they have got one thing really wrong which pulls my review way down. The music. It's awful AND it's too loud so people are shouting at each other. I would dearly love for them to change to quieter, ambient, calm music. Right now I can't wait to get out away from so many female customers SHOUTING across tables at each other.

What a treat was the Rajathani thali night? A great one! We were welcomed at the door. The dishes were explained to us but we also had an info sheet to refer to through the meal. The dishes were many and varied and all delicious. So many different flavours and textures. It was obvious that a lot of thought had gone into the preparation! Staff were lovely and friendly. I can’t wait for the next one! I only have the atmosphere 4 as the decor made it rather echoey and I can sometimes struggle to hear BUT it really is a lovely place. Very clean and fresh. The toilets are excellent too ( very important in my mind)

Visited recently on a Saturday morning, the cafe was full but a very helpful young man told me that waiting time for a table would be around five minutes.Sure enough, we were shown to a table within the time frame. The drinks and food were good but the most outstanding thing about this cafe is the young staff. They are friendly, polite, smartly dressed and extremely efficient. A definite 5* for service.

It was really nice to have a small mix of traditional Indian food rarther than one plate full of just one dish. Definitely returning when they do this again. Only one star knocked off as service was a little slow but that did not detract from the overall experience. 😀

I was recommended this cafe in Ossett by a local business. The food service and atmosphere can’t be faulted. Lots of effort gone in to putting the menu together .

The food was well cooked and presented and they have a good menu selection of drinks, snacks, meals and desserts. Can't find any faults, food arrived promptly, very clean and tidy. There is an outside area for nice weather or upstairs a glass covered dining area and a balcony terrace. Nearby paid parking makes a visit very easy.

Visited today for breakfast with my hubby and daughter. Pleasantly surprised at the newly refurbished interior. Friendly and attentive staff. We were greeted and shown to our seat upstairs, bright and clean decor. Breakfast menu extensive with some great choices. Food came quickly and tasted great! Husbands breakfast panini bacon wasn't to his taste as pale however, this was noticed by staff when plates were collected and feedback was immediately requested. Cost was removed from menu but not at our request. The manager and staff were very professional and friendly. We will definitely be going back and can see myself as a regular. Would highly recommend this beautiful little gem of a place. Give it a go you won't be dissapointed.

Took us 30 mins to get served drinks, then another 45mins to get served dry cake on a teacup plate, thinking there was proper food being cooked, staff wondering around like they have a single brain cell banging around their heads, stood around doing jack all and still walking past tables when you can clearly see we are wanting to order, whilst pretending to be a high class restaurant when they can't even operate a regular cafe, like come on who's paying £50 for a champagne in a cafe?, Disgraceful honestly.

Extremely concerned to see staff yesterday serving cakes and scones with bare hands! We watched as staff cleaned in the kitchen using dish cloths then directly served food to customers without washing hands. No tongs or protective gloves were used. With the Coronavirus threat it should be mandatory for staff to serve food wearing gloves or to serve pastries using tongs or a cake slice. Management please take note!!

A wonderfully welcoming and friendly café. Excellent food and drink with vegetarian options at reasonable prices. The café has 2 floors, with disabled access to the ground floor and outside seating. Upstairs there are a further 30 seats. There is a car park at the side with other parking close by. The service is first class and it is hardly surprising that the café has been voted the best café in Wakefield on a number of occasions.

We go every week for a coffee & chat.We both worked in retail 50+ years.How hard is it too put on a smiling face to meet and greet customers,who we are taught are the reason for your work.

Called on a warm sunny afternoon and sat outside (a round 6 tables outside I think).Menu is relatively simple with paninis,sandwiches, jacket potatoes.Order at the till and food is then brought to you. Efficient service. Food decent enough.sandwiches etc come with a small side salad and crisps.Everything satisfactory apart from they had no brown/wholemeal bread. said they had run out to to being very busy. I do find it strange though that a cafe attached to a bakery should run out of bread although I suppose it is better than making too much bread and then having to throw it away at the end of the day.

After visiting today, I doubt I shall be returning. I went to order a jacket potato to which I was told they didn't have any ready, which would have been fine as I was willing to wait but wasn't given an option or told how long they'd be so it was off the cards. I had a roast beef sandwich which was ok but expensive for what it was. Whilst sat eating my sandwich I saw a table next to me be served a jacket potato which quite frankly annoyed me as I could have ordered one and waited if I'd have been told by staff when they would be ready. I had a coke which was £2.25 which just seemed ridiculously over priced. Overall it's too expensive, they frequently run out of basic things like bread which seems stupid as it's a bakery, slow staff and you can find much nicer and cheaper places to eat nearby.

We went here for lunch with a friend on Saturday. The food and drink was all very nice and it was a very pleasant place to sit and chat over lunch.The only downside was that they stopped serving at 2 o'clock, which seems too early on a Saturday, especially as there was a market and vintage car display in the town square.They did let us have extra teas at 10 minutes to 2 and then let us drink them in peace, but we did feel a bit pressured to leave.In summary, a nice place but need to think about meeting their market.

Neither time did it work because being stood at the counter for 15 minutes with a 5 year old or on my own whilst couples came in and one person sits down at tables I would gave liked to sit at, is too long. Last time I went I had half hour to get a coffee but was behind someone who wanted 5 coffees and 5 pieces if chocolate cake. The staff make all this before serving next person. Why don't they just take the orders and the money and then take the order out so people arent queuing so long? If there's no tables downstairs I can't go upstairs with my daughter then leave her for this amount of time whilst I queue for this long. The concept is all wrong

Was treated to afternoon tea as a post birthday treat as we had wanted to go for a while. Nice greeting on arrival and shown promptly to corner table in upstairs area. Prosecco arrived quickly and was lovely, followed by afternoon tea. Interesting and tasty variety of sandwiches, including prawns, which made a change from the usual served in other venues and plenty of food. Scones nice and large, with lovely carrot cake too and staff attentive but not intrusive. Unlimited tea on request or I believe a couple of coffees if you prefer. They will box anything up you cannot eat to take home.Will definitely book again as it was really nice and good value. Cafe Vie is so handy and I have never been disappointed with food or service here since it opened. The only slightly negative comment I could make was the scones were served with whipped rather than clotted cream, but had a really enjoyable afternoon.

My wife and I travel around 4 miles to Café Vie at least twice a week and have done so for the last 5 years. The latte they serve is consistently excellent. The temperature is always 'hot' something you invariably have to ask for in high street coffee chains. The head of the latte is perfect with just the right amount of froth, it never spills over cup when you carry to the table. The taste is superb not weak as served by some baristas. The café provides a superb environment and the overall experience is outstanding. It takes a few minutes but all good things do. I would recommend Café Vie to anyone its well worth a try.

Cafe Vie is in Thompsons Yard at the top of Towngate Ossett .It is five minutes from my home and I can't think for the life of me why I have never accompanied my wife on her visits there.We were in town to use the bank and as we had time to kill we popped in for a quick coffee. First impressions were good. It is a modern well illuminated place and from what I could gather is always well patronised. There is a fee to park in the adjacent Council car park but you get a refund if you spend over a set amount. The downstairs area is quite small with only five tables available but there is a room upstairs with a good view over the surrounding area. In less inclement weather there are some tables with parasols in the outside patio area. The gateaux on display looked very inviting and there is a wide choice of snacks and more filling fayre available viz: soup, panini toasted tea cake etc. The Capuccino's my wife and I had were very nice just as I like them hot and frothy. Adjoined to the Cafe is the Bakers shop. Everything is baked on site. We bought an apple pie, two cakes and a fresh custard which I enjoyed with a coffee when I returned home. Definitely worth a visit in the future and next time we are there we will definitely have something to eat.

Great food and drink in lovely surroundings. Ossett was crying out for one of these places and Café Vie has certainly fulfilled this. It can get busy as you would expect due to it's popularity, especially on a Saturday or market days (Tuesday and Friday)There is always a good selection of sandwiches and snacks, not to mention the bakery next door which is part of it.

My wife and I had occasion to visit Ossett because of 'Taxi service for Grandkids' and decided to have a coffee here before the journey back.It was incredibly slow and it was mid morning. The staff were more interested in talking amongst themselves. We ordered two lattes and a piece of Lemon cake. The Barista made the lattes incorrectly by putting the milk over the shot of expresso. He should have added the expresso to the milk. Result the latte tasted bitter ( I took a barista's course).The Lemon cake was dry.Such a disappointment in what has the potential to be a very good cafe.

This cafe offers a nice setting and some decent food, but I don't think the menu has been changed or added to since it opened so now I'm hesitant to go in as there is never anything new to eat.

Visited this lovely establishment on a one off can honestly say the service was brilliant and friendly. The food is served nice and fresh with lots of choice. Cheap friendly and good for its value. The coffee is perfect the best coffee I've tasted better than these big company's. The boy and girl in the cafe are always helpful cheerful and on the go. The waiter/waitress always deliver there service with a smile. The upstairs and outside is fantastic. The bakers shop has so much to offer too fresh sandwiches great tasting bread and confectionary. Will be returning keep up the good work.

I have been to this cafe on many occasions. On Fri 17th July iImet my friend there and we had coffees and then a meal, We had a lot of news to catch up on so decided we would have another drink, After standing behind a lady who was served, I was told by a lady from the kitchen that they could not serve me because they were closed! I explained we had already had coffees and lunch but she would not serve me. There were 8 others still in the cafe drinking and no one else in the queue and seeing that it was only 15 03 and they close at 15 00 I think this was unacceptable. Does this place really deserve our custom? Very sad as the food and staff are lovely. I have worked in retail and this would never have happened where I was. We went round the corner and had a lovely coffee but didn't notice the name of the cafe so will have to go again then I can write a positive review for them!

This is a very nice, modern coffee shop / café. I've only been a handful of times but have always been served promptly & courteously. There are tables both downstairs & upstairs with the upstairs been particularly nice when it's bright & sunny. Can't fault it really but maybe I'm easy pleased!? :-)

Used this cafe on many occasions and have always loved it. Today mmmm, no. Wondered if the manager was away??? Early lunch - no apple, no pear (pear salad on specials!), limited pastas (also on specials!). Salad we did have was very basic and salad had probably seen better days. Rest of food when we had 're-chosen' was 'ok' but not of usual standard. Cafe was very quiet for a Saturday too - did other customers know something I didn't? Will not let today put me off permanently but Cafe Vie will have to get its game back on course if I am to continue taking my custom there.

Visited on market day, 2.55, wanted a quick coffee and was prepared to sit outside. Waitress met me at the door and said they were closing, would not make a coffee!! If you close at 3 you should serve until 3. Have previously witnessed another lady being spoken to in a very rude manner as it was nearly closing time and staff would not let her sit upstairs even though her husband was up there!! Staff cleaning around her feet, they had a massive row and waitress very rude. Customers will be lost with this attitude, will not be back.

Cafe Vie deliver a far better experience than both Starbucks and Costa, who managed to build an empire based on far less.Definitely a place to visit for the more discerning amongst you. Cafe Vie is a high class, low cost, grab a quick coffee and sandwich for breakfast or lunchtime experience.Mark

I have been now a few times and this will be the last time I go. I always seem to leave feeling disappointed.We ordered two toasted teacakes as there wasn't much choice and they served them stone cold and the butter was rock hard. We might as well not bothered. It is decorated beautifully it's such as shame the menu and the service do not live up. There are more cafés in Ossett to copse from over vie which is such a shame.

Not a lot to chose from and what they do have they seem to run out of pretty quick. Coffee is nice though.

I visited the cafe a couple of weeks back for the first time to meet a friend and have a catch up, we ordered tea, had a little chat then decided to order two ham and cheese paninis with salad garnish and hand cut crisps, very nice indeed, in fact such a relaxing place we stayed two hours. I have since been back with my mum for tea and snacks, sat upstairs this time which is very light and airy. Friendly staff, good food at a reasonable price. Will return.

The glass roof in the upper floor and the balcony effect is bright & contemporary. Friendly staff. Coffee garden outside too. Totally spoilt!

Brought some friends to Cafe Vie for breakfast as they were passing through. Menu was out of date, they didn't have the items on the menu and when it came it was quite disappointing. The sandwiches were very basic and no options for a proper breakfast - one of our party ordered toast and even that was thin and pretty feeble.The staff were polite and friendly and the prices were good but all in all, we could have eaten better at a greasy spoon. I won't be hurrying back unfortunately.

I have been before and enjoyed the food and service. On this occasion I attended with my partner and our 7yr old dog to have lunch, whilst sitting outside and viewing the menu, I was approached my a member of staff who informed us that we wouldn't be welcomed by the owner, due to us having the dog. The member of staff was very polite and stated she didn't want us to order before hand as the owner wouldn't allow us to stay due to the dog. This is a warning to fellow dog owners, please don't attend this cafe with your dog as you won't get served. There is plenty more cafés (just as good)in ossett that allows you to sit outside with your dog . Notice to the owner- Please put a sign up!

Called in around 11ish. Cafe fairly busy but room upstairs. Bright and airy rooms with decent space between tables.Orders taken at the counter which can slow things down as the order takers are also making the drinks etc. More staff needed maybe to speed things up? Cakes etc served straight away, sandwiches etc brought to your table by the waitress.Good selection on the menu. The cakes we had were tasty and moist. A good little cafe and child friendly too.

A very dated place, but a great place if you like listening to the staff bitch about homeless people and how the police don’t do anything about them. “Go get a bloody job, and work like I’ve had to do all my life”. All whilst sitting in the customers dining area! Now don’t get me wrong, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but there is a time and place, and this wasn’t it. Go to jollies or the last bank over the road. Coffee was nice though.

I am more than happy to sing the praises of this consumately professional Castleford venue. This place is old school and right up my street. I've only just become a regular but for me there is nowhere else when I'm in Castleford. The whole place is put together with love and it must have taken quite some time. It's a real homely 60's throwback and none the worse for that. No wifi and cash only and that is how it should be. Long may it continue. I never had a bad coffee/tea/grub there yet. The staff are perfectly ok. The staff are focused and professional so don't engage them in conversation when they are busy. Easy as that. This cafe has the air of an American diner about it and it's like being on route 66 (yes I have been there). I could easily imagine KC's with a lovely old Wurlitzer juke box in there and I promise when I win the lottery I will buy them one. They provide a good local service with CD/DVD sales for a local charity and deals for the bus crews in the station next door. 10/10 for community values. As the faceless corporates destroy more and more high streets places like KC's are gold dust and should be fully supported. One minor request please. A little more variety in the otherwise superb music. Maybe the Shadows? All the best then from Graham (The cockney in Aussie bush hat). Keep doing what you're doing ladies. Simply the best and happy birthday to schhh...you know who. Best Respects to all.

Visited the Singing Chocker on a Friday night, In spite of being Busy Paula went to trouble of finding us a table that suited us. We ordered food and drink at bar and didn't have to wait too long before meals arrived. We were waited on by Kerry who got everything right ,made sure we had correct cutlery and sauces napkins etc. Food was good and Kerry called back to see if it was to our liking. The place is bright with good staff and Atmosphere. We visit quite often and have booked for Christmas day Thank you Paula and Kerry for good experience See you soon Mike Brown
