Christophe's Coffee House in Bradford

Lovely, friendly little cafe. Food and coffee are excellent and it's doggy friendly too! Will definitely be going again, Sarah xx

Visited for lunch - best omlette I've ever had. Christophe was friendly and chatty without being intrusive. Don't know how he produces such great food at the prices he charges. Will definitely revisit next time I'm in Thornton. Highly recommended

They microwaved my scrambled egg I was lost for words, when I asked if I was really watching them scramble my egg I the microwave they said they don't have facilities to scramble a egg even tho they have facilities to fry a egg. I just can't

Food was well presented, and the pesto sauce was nice, got the beef and Mozzarella burger and it was pretty much cremated as you can see from the attached photograph, the young lad handing out the menu’s and cutlery was polite. Kudos to him. However, the man that served us came across incredibly rude; I had asked if it was possible to have the chicken and chorizo burger without the chorizo as it’s not recommended in pregnancy and gives me heartburn the server came across rude and abrupt saying “no it’s mixed in” I don’t think that’s a way to speak to customers for making a request that is in relation to dietary concerns. I work in customer service and I probably would have just said “sorry it’s mixed in with the burger but I would recommend ….” He also moved a table right next to wear I was sat I’m 8 months pregnant and struggled to leave the table, my bump is sizeable and definitely didn’t go amiss so I’m unsure why this was done, I don’t expect preferential treatment because I’m pregnant but I do expect a place where I’ve chosen to eat to be accessible as a bare minimum, not purposely made uncomfortable. We did not at all feel welcome I had heard good things from friends however we left feeling quite ostracised. I’d also like to address the fact that my partner was followed out by the man who served us as though he was leaving without paying, I was still sat inside eating however and my partner had left his phone on the table with me. I’m unsure if this was possibly due to the fact my partner was wearing joggers but if this is the case please state that you have a dress code instead of making customers feel unwelcome. I would not recommend this establishment. Brew with a view is far far nicer and cheaper and not that much further away and their staff couldn’t be more accommodating and welcoming, I would suggest Brew with a view instead especially if you value manners😊

Lovely food and lovely people. Highly recommended.

Had today’s special to go. Wow! So delicious!!!!

Nice little eatery, parking is easy enough. We ofter eat out for breakfast and try different places so this was our first time at Christophe's. The service was great and fast the breakfast all in all was pretty good! My only changes would be to have a better quality sausage as this let the breakfast down and better toast cut thicker. That being said I would return in the hope the sausages and toast are improved and I would also reccomend this place to friends/family

Tasty food and lovely friendly atmosphere

When I asked for tinned tomatoes he were very abrupt telling me they only have forest The bacon had the fat remover and wasent improperly cooked

Very friendly staff and lovely food

This is my fave place for breakfast The staff are absolutely lovely and the food is beyond delicious I wouldnt go anywhere but here and highly recommend it to anyone who fancies breakfast with a French twist Christophe is a lovely bloke and I really hope we get to keep him in our village for many years (and for the eggs bendict I can binge on)

Excellent service, gorgeous food

Food made to order. Great service, lovely location. Not putting these premises down but could be a little bit bigger. Will be back.

What a fantastic find. Picked out Cafe Christophe from an internet search and what a find it proved to be. Great advantage is that you can book ahead. It’s quite a small place but so warm and welcoming. Christophe looks after us throughout the meal and the service was friendly and helpful even down to making sure my coffee was just the right strength. As a group we had omelette, eggs Benedict and two full English breakfasts with teas and coffees. A total bill of £44 was excellent value. From personal experience the full English with door stopper toast was exceptional value. Lovely thick cut bacon, local sausage and black pudding and home made rosti. Add beans, tomato, fried egg and mushrooms and you have a most wonderful breakfast. Thank you for a lovely brunch, lovely warm fire on a very cold and windy day, good atmosphere, full cafe so that says it all!! We will return, very soon.

Very nice food with helpful staff. Cosy atmosphere.

Good friendly atmosphere. I've enjoyed my lattes there.

Lovely cafe great food and very friendly staff

This little gem of a place was recommended to us and it certainly didn’t let us down .. the food was excellent and all fresh produce , best breakfast I’ve had in a long time , we will be back ! Oh and the freshly pressed apple juice was delicious too. Thank you

Eaten here quite a few times and have never been disappointed. Introduced most of my friends and family the food and atmosphere is excellent. Always book in advance to be sure to get a table.

Had a lovely lunch here, food is lovely and good quality. Would highly recommend. Parking on roads is free. Opposite a lovely sunbed/beauty salon and conveniance store nearby. Restaurant is lovely and clean and staff are lovely and friendly.

Great little spot .. Nice coffee 👍

Sorry, but we found the coffee very poor

Fantastic breakfast. Can't fault it superb will be going again. Only downside tiny inside so best booking to reserve a table

Delicious food and very welcoming

What a fab place! Lovely, cosy bistro style with great food on offer. We both had the traditional breakfast, which were fantastic. Everything is cooked fresh, which makes such a difference to the quality. Best mushrooms ever, but no secret other than cooked to order! Would recommend booking, as it was quite busy. Definitely be back again soon. Thank you Christophe!

The ONLY downside to this place is the size. It's so popular because the food is incredible that you're lucky to ger a seat. The food is quite expensive but is worth every penny. The chicken fajita is beautiful. The service is brilliant. Always happy to see you and very attentive.

Wow what a find. Great food, friendly staff and above all very dog friendly. Definitely a cut above your average cafe.

Excellent place for coffee, food & great service.

Lovely food and always service with a smile! Thankyou!

Christophe’s is my go to place for breakfast. No matter how hard I look, I can’t find anywhere else as relaxed and where you can sit alone and eat an amazing breakfast with amazing coffee. Lunch is great too. I need to try the bistro menu at some point!!!

All good, I will go again soon. Quick service. Thank you

First visit for me; good food, friendly and helpful owner will go again ☺️

Fantastic food! Great little cafe. The Moroccan spiced lamb burger is amazing Still great food and service. (Updated review after a year or so)

Excellent full English. Highlight of trip to the area.

Great food and great atmosphere

Cosy and cute coffee house with delicious food!

Lovely warm friendly welcome. Delicious food we had the full English breakfast. Great service would definitely recommend.

After my morning spent volunteering in the Community Library, we met up and went to Christophe's for lunch. I had a filling Chicken Fajita. My other half had the day's special which was a Spinach & Ricotta Quiche with chips and salad and pronounced it to be wonderful. As always, just spot on.

Dropped in hoping a table for 3 was available, we weren't disappointed. We all chose omelette, best we have had in a long time, lovely brown chips and chopped salad. Beautifully presented. Lovely place, we all felt very comfortable. Great value too. We will drop in again when next in the area. Thank you.

Christophe runs a little gem of a bistro cafe. Gorgeous fresh 'home made' food. Cozy, friendly atmosphere. Great little find.

My husband and I have come to Christophes for years now and we have NEVER has a bad experience. You’re always met with a genuine, warm welcome and made to feel so welcome throughout. The food is always freshly cooked and very tasty which nearly every dish able to be made gluten free without any fuss. The whole ordering process is so seamless and allergens are treated without you feeling awkward like in some establishments. What’s even better is that you can always trust that Christophe has some tasty gluten free deserts on hand!! Couldn’t recommend it enough here!

We had a wonderful experience, we were made very welcome, the food was fantastic, and the prices were very reasonable. Many thanks. I would highly recommend Christophes Coffee House!!

Lovely ambiance, fresh and excellently cooked food and staff are lovely too.We love it.

Visited today as passing and noticed the board outside. Decided to visit an independent place instead of a chain cafe and so we had some food and drink. We ordered coffee , lemon drizzle cake and a halloumi and hummus ciabatta. All the food was tasty and fresh and cooked to order. The cake was moist but the lemon was a bit too overpowering. Maybe a tad less lemon zest next time ? The menu was just the right size and had options to suit all tastes. Also ordered the sticky toffee pudding which was lovely and I believe home made. The food was value for money and would definitely visit again. Luckily found parking on the road which was convenient.

This was my first visit to Christophe's having just moved to the area, and I was very impressed! We didn't have a booking and all the tables had been reserved as Saturday mornings are apparently very busy for breakfast, however, the waitress kindly managed to squeeze us in. The place itself was spotlessly clean, the staff were polite, friendly and efficient, and the food was fantastic. We will most definitely be going back (although I'll be sure to book in advance, next time)!

We- my husband and I, were not aware Christophe's was open late on Friday evenings until tonight. Fortunately we saw the board outside whilst driving past- so very glad we rang to reserve a table. We had the freshest home made Halloumi fries I've ever tasted, with tomato sauce for shared starter, followed by home made Beef Burger with cheese and bacon and a 6oz rump steak with onions and garlic butter, all cooked to perfection and both meals were served with fresh, crispy,and super tasty home made fries and fresh side salad. As it's licensed both meals were washed down with 2 bottles of Taylors Landlord IPA for my other half and a G &T for myself. Fabulous service and super efficient staff - What a lovely way to start our weekend!! Absolutely worth a visit and we will be going again very soon.

Very popular place (we went at lunchtime) with a fabulous host and locals who obviously come here often.

Food is always fresh, delicious and perfectly cooked. Service is fantastic, warm and welcoming. Been hear a few times for breakfast and never disappointed. By far my favourite breakfast.

Christophe is welcoming. The cafe is cosy. The food is delicious. The experience is fabulous. A brilliant local asset.

My two daughters and I went for lunch after a lovely walk up near Haworth. I think both of my daughters summed up our visit perfectly when they said "This is the best breakfast we have EVER HAD!" I couldn't fault it. The gentleman serving was polite and friendly, and the food was amazing. Not just the breakfast, but also the desserts we ate. We will definitely be back when we are next in the area.

Great food and service, as is the atmosphere!

Lovely food as always well worth a visit

Very good staff food is fantastic

Fantastic ambience. Great food lots of choice. Welcoming host

Lovely little bistro with delicious food.

Wanted somewhere to eat which was more or less the same distance from each of us. Booked at Christophe's for lunch and boy, are we glad we did. The menu is not huge but there is lots of choice and everything looks great. We shared a fish platter as a main and it was absolutely gorgeous. The prawns and mackerel pate were just delightful. The service was good and friendly and the atmosphere is just right. Definitely will be returning to try out more.

Great atmosphere, with friendly people and fantastic food.

Excellent, only about 8 tables so really cozy atmosphere. Food is second to none and freshly cooked using very good ingredients. Always made welcome by Christophe and his team. We are always looking for an excuse to go have breakfast there. Alcoholic drinks are available as well as a special’s selection. Will try getting there for lunch one day soon. Highly recommended.

Very friendly, attentive owner. Real fire inside so very warm on a cold morning. Eggs Benedict with salmon and hollandaise sauce - delicious.

Lovely experience here great food

An amazing little cafe at the heart of the village, coffee and food are always amazing and consistently too! Staff are warm and friendly and happy to help too.

All my family love this place, best food, posh fish finger Friday is a must try! Breakfasts are a great set you up for the day and his food is always so fresh and tasty. 5* lucky to have such a good cafe in Thornton village.

To the person who has posted this comment... (see photo) .... How can you review a place that is closed and closed for genuine reasons. Its a small family business that is trying to keep going after a massive impact over the last 18 months or so... just like many other small businesses.... The owners are hard working and love nothing but serving their customers and catering to customers needs where possible... I think it's out of order for you to rate as 1 star because you got wet when ultimately the owners are a lot worse off then you, having to close when the did not want to and losing out on a lot of business. It is not easy to "get someone to staff the place all the time" .... you can not just teach someone remotely how to do what the owners do day to day... As I have already said this is a small family business and unfortunately they have had to close temporarily and definitely not something they will have wanted to do. I have been going here for years and I really think you comments are out of order. To the business... you are a wonderful small team and your food is amazing. I think most or the village and other visitors will agree with this comment. Looking forward to you being open again and especially for your amazing fish finger sandwiches on a Friday

Lemon drizzle cake and coffee were lovely will pop in there again. 👍

Excellent food but book before you go, it can get busy.

Absolutely beautiful. Had a cappuccino and a burger. Well worth the price, cozy little cafe. Will definitely be returning.

This Coffee House/Bistro is a hidden family run gem which should always be your first place of choice in this area! The staff were welcoming, friendly, and nothing was 'too much' for them, so pleasant to find these days. Their food was excellent, the portions huge, and so well presented. It was the best Cappuccino I've had in a long time. Nice touches...like the Chef visiting our table to ensure that everything was to our satisfaction (which it was, and moreso!), the Waitress, making sure we had everything we needed, the ambiance... delightful. Even though it's obviously extremely busy at lunchtime with, I think, regulars, we were in no means rushed, which we would have understood. To be honest, even if we weren't planning to be in Thornton, we'd make it our first choice establishment to visit, even if meant a 10 minute drive from the centre of Bradford. However, if you do intend to visit between 11.45am and 2pm, I'd recommend that you phone ahead and book a table, although I'm sure the owners would do their utmost to welcome you to their fantastic Coffee House/Bistro!

Good quality food at decent prices. All home cooked by owner/chef, Christophe. I had a gorgeous halloumi burger and the homemade blackberry cheesecake- made with blackberries that Chrisophe had picked himself...delicious. Friendly relaxed atmosphere.

Good food great hosts all staff very friendly enjoyable evening had

Lovely atmosphere, great customer service, food was delicious. Even though the cafe was busy, service was prompt and not a massive wait for your food. There was no rush to move you off your table, even when you had finished your food. Would highly recommend a visit.

Good service fantastic food amazing flavours, definitely worth a visit

Fresh food and delicious! Staff are all nice😀😍😍.

Lovely place to eat and most welcoming

Christophe’s bistro is a little gem in Thornton, I’m glad we found this gorgeous cafe. I’ve been a few times with my husband and taken a few family members too.. The full English breakfast omg it’s absolutely lovely, not to mention the French options, plus...

Fabulous breakfast and a very hot latte 😋

What a treat to have lunch again at Christophes delicious food and relaxing atmosphere

Absolutely love the bacon baps from Christophe's, he uses quality bacon and plenty of it. Will be a regular treat with us. Good stuff

Always great food and Christophe is a great fella.

First class food again. Fantastic steak, chips, salad, posh fish fingers and even the bread. We will be going back.

Friendly staff ,amazing food ,feels like home from home , and we have been quite a few times , This time My wife and I had chicken fajita wraps ,which were really tasty and so hot It's lovely here you won't be disappointed Thankyou Christoff Steve and Diane

Great little find, friendly staff socially distanced even though really quaint place. Great coffee and deserts, the blackberry cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding were delicious. Will have to go back next time we’re in the area to try out food as it looked good.

Lovely place for coffee and light meals at lunchtime ,spotlessly clean and a nice menu the breakfast looked fab they also open on Friday evening so will try that as well

Upon arriving after having booked a table shortly after reopening from COVID, it was very clean and tidy, the tables were well spaced apart and not too tight. The atmosphere was very pleasant and the service was excellent. Two great coffees and full breakfasts, (after...

Nice food reasonably priced and friendly atmosphere

With only one French item on the menu the food was lovely! I very much enjoyed the homemade burger! 😀

So glad this wonderfull restaurant has reopened after ,bring closed due to covid 19 I had chicken fajita in a wrap it was amazing so tasty ,very hot the flavours just melted in your mouth Can't wait to return for another one My wife had halloumi and roasted red pepper ,that also was equally amazing Thank you Christoff for a wonderfull experience . The service is excellent and the surroundings are quaint around 16 covers I think but lovely atmosphere Wish I had taken a photo to show people what they were missing

Great food always made to feel very welcome

Delicious food and friendly staff

Christoffs is a small coffee and eating house. All food is freshly made to order, excellent quality, good size portions and delicious. Christoffs menu is very flexible, e.g. salad instead of chips. His premises are licenced so you can have a glass of wine with...

What an amazing little place this is! It was extremely busy when we visited but the place is run like a well oiled machine! Gorgeous food, great prices, exceptionally clean & spotless (top of my priorities) fantastic host/chef who is warm, friendly & efficient. What more could you ask for? Would give it 10 stars if I could. P.S try the fish finger sandwich, can highly recommend (& these aren't no birds eye!) Will most certainly be back.

We called for lunch with family who regularly visit Christophe’s. The owner and staff are very friendly and happily chat with you. If you are going for a meal it is advisable to book. The food was amazing and cooked to perfection. If you have...

I always love visiting here. It's a lovely environment and the food is gorgeous! There's always a good choice and I'm a big fan of the deserts. On this occasion I had the cheeseburger and chips and then for desert there was freshly made chocolate...

I really liked this coffee shop. I was made to feel welcome, enjoyed a lovely cup of coffee and found the atmosphere relaxing. If in Thornton,I would definately visit again.

Been here a few times with my mum and a pram and despite the restaurant been small, we've never been turned away. The fish finger sandwich on a Friday is so tasty and extremely filling, would definitely recommend. The service is always great and youll...

Just a great place with food quality far exceeding what you expect from a coffee housr

Very friendly service; very good value; very good quality. Really pleased to find this welcoming and efficient coffee house- although the title is slightly misleading because it's much more than the name suggests!

Called in when passing after seeing the reviews on TA. Nothing impressive from outside but inside you find a small cosy cafe with a log fire. Add a friendly host serving excellent food & going that bit extra with the service if we lived locally...

Cosy little breakfast venue. Portion sizes weren't great but the food was good.

Fantastic service. Great place for a yummy lunch.

Lovely place, Christophe is always friendly and comes over for a chat and the food is always delicious.
