Create Cafe Wakefield in Barnsley

Chicken was tasty but the price for a kids meal and what we got was poor. We paid 4.75 for each child's chicken strip meal and got 2 strips, some chips and small bit of beans/peas. The peas were tasteless and hard. The chicken was fresh and tasted good which is the reason I gave 2 stars. They told me 10min but I waited 20mins and there was only 2 or 3 customers. Overall I'd go again but I'll be sure to check what I'm getting for my money. I would have been happy to pay a little more vs complaining children. Mine are both under 10 years old

Great food Very affordable Lovely staff Gets busy at lunchtime

Love this place, the food is great, good value, and perfect portions. The business is helping people get into employment which i think is absolutely fantastic. Such a great way to do business, and it's a business I would happily put money into as it's helping so many people so any chance I get to come and eat here, I will be here. I wish I could come every day! Their Halloumi Salad is amazing as well as their Halloumi Grilled hot sandwich and their salt and pepper chips is to die for! Very tasty. Pic is of the halloumi salad. Try it with the salt and pepper chips. The hot and cold and the combined taste just goes so well together 👌🏽 Staff are very friendly and will do their utmost to assist. The menu is great, and you can literally swap anything around and they encourage it!

Time to kill near Wakefield Station. 2 minutes walk from overpriced Costa at the station etc.... Lovely Panini and staff that don't hover over you and leave you to yourself. Recommended.

Superb value for money, friendly waitress, tasty fresh food and a bright welcoming area to sit, eat and chat.

Great place for a good cup of coffee. I've also enjoyed a couple of lunches here, a snack or a meal are both excellent choices. True it does often seem like the unofficial meeting space for council workers. But it is not ever overfull, and in the week at least never seems empty.

Very nice Cafe, lovely food , definitely will be back soon.

I'm usually happy with the service and the food here, but yesterday wasn't the same. I went for the Full Cooked Breakfast on my own. After paying I was asked for my table number. I said I didn't have one. I was told, quite abruptly, that the order couldn't be taken without one. I said I'm not sure where I'll be sitting (as the room looked pretty full). She glared at me and just said, I need one. I went to find a free table in the next area, but didn't put my things down because I was on my own. Number 10, I said. Okay she said. It really wasn't a pleasant exchange. What would have happened if someone else had sat at that table, god only knows. The number 10 table felt sticky! Anyway, my food came. I was told the butter was under the toast. The toast came on the same plate as everything else. That wouldn't have been an issue but it was, because everything else was swimming in fat. It was the greasiest cooked breakfast I've ever had. The fried egg was the smallest yoke ever, and was hard. The bacon was thick cut, but the amount of fatty rind was OTT and the sausages were just not attractive or tasty. Yes, it came with mushrooms, but they were dripping in all the fat on my plate. If I hadn't have been so hungry I wouldn't have eaten anything. Extremely disappointed. Won't be going back for a long time.

Friendly staff, good prices, comfy chairs.

I came here last week with my friend and the breakfast was to die for. I told all I know about this place. And then today happened. Ordered food n drink ok, not a problem. It was the disgusting attitude of your waitress. When asked if we would like some sauce 2 said brown sauce, 1 said red. When brought over she brought 3 small pots of brown. When questioned about this her attitude to reply back was all 3 of you wanted brown, calling us liars more or less. Said no, if you wasn't walking away you would av heard my niece ask for red. Then when brought the red sauce she slammed it on the table. Told her that that was un called for and unacceptable. I asked to speak with the manager and he explained that she has learning difficulties. I'm sorry but your serving the public, you don't have to be rude and disrespectful to you customers like she was. Said he would give a full refund, which I did not want. It wasn't about that. It was the overall experience we got from the waitress and it wasn't a good one. The lady who took our order came over with a refund which I didn't accept as I said I didn't want one. She asked what had gone on, we explained and she said was it the black girl. By sounds of it (which is hearsay) this is not the first time it's happened. I did not want to comment when she described her as the black girl as don't want to be put down that rabbit hole of twists and turns. I did not eat my food as I was put off by the whole experience. And then a nosey KAREN came over from another table asking me to lower my voice as to which I asked politely 'please go away' numerous times. She then commented on what example am I setting to my great niece. I kept my cool and continued to ask 'please go away'. If you don't know what has happened then keep ya neb out . Simples. I'm put off coming here now as my first experience of the place was fantastic.

You won't find a better breakfast for the money they charge. Lovely freshly cooked breakfast with excellent staff. They also do catering and we can't praise them any highly. Thank you to you all.

Take out chicken gyros wrap was actually a few pieces of chicken in 2 pieces of dry bread with a little salad. Only realised when I opened after leaving. If they had told me they had no wraps I would have ordered something else. Had a few poor meals here in the last few months.

A work event had catering from here and it was delicious. Not the normal beige food and boring sandwiches but actual nice tasty food!!. If I was in the area I would definitely eat here based on what I sampled at the event.

First visit and won't be the last Superb choice of food Prices very good Chips superbr

Friendly service and nice atmosphere. food was fine - I had the chicken gyros wrap which was not actually a gyros and quite dry, but portion size was great

An unassuming not for profit cafe in Wakefield one. Counter service or table service available, good menu from coffee and cake to cooked to order main meals. Not too expensive

A great cafe serving delicious food and drinks at low prices. Great value for money. Fast and friendly service. The menu has a large selection including a good selection of vegetarian and vegan options. The ingredients are locally sourced and all food is home-made.

Called one rainy afternoon last week with my teens. Lovely mixed menu with lots of choice. Really friendly waiter served us and was smiling throughout our visit. Drinks served quickly, my hot chocolate was really good. Clearly a good quality brand used. Food was superb. Sandwiches served with a dressed salad, all fresh. The prices are incredible for the food you receive. A bit out of town but worth the little wander. Definitely returning soon!

Lady working there rudely told me that I basically couldn't order anything because they were closing in an hour. What? Terrible

Nice place for great value, tasty food. Highly recommended.

Always good food whether it's a scone, sandwich or hot meal. Great coffee too.

Lunch is always good Good menu choice

We asked Shaun at Create Cafe to provide a buffet at an external venue gor my husband's 60th birthday. Excellent buffet and just right for the 'do'. Shaun was great with communication, arranged a face to face visit to discuss our buffet options. All went like clockwork. Thank you so much. Epukd definitely use Create again. Thanks Shaun!

Not a bad place for a bite to eat. More for Students / little like an Internet cafe.

Fantastic place servicing the public and workers alike. It's very affordable here and easy to get healthy options. A place with a great ethos and plenty of choice.

I don’t know how they do it! The food was wonderful and served very impeccable. The establishment was very clean and airy and staff friendly. What a fantastic venue.

Excellent service, polite friendly staff , great value for money. Would certainly recommend a visit

Drove to Wakefield from goole for an afternoon tea with my husband. It was very busy and untidy it is a very modern Cafe . We got one sandwich each . one scone between the two of us and small cakes . The building is in the lidary building so you can get to it . There is disabled parking around the building, but no.normal parking near

Food is lovely, you pay for quality

Great place for a quick lunch both coffee and food excellent. Will be back soon.

A first-time visit to Create Café, and was very impressed. It's a bright, airy, colourful space. The menu is extensive, and good value for for money. The food is all freshly cooked to order, and tasty. The overall ethos is "Where good food and people matter". The café aims to help disadvantaged people by giving them working experience. Kudos to the co-founders/co-owners Shaun and James for this admirable venture which deserves every success.

Lovely food, great staff, clean toilets, wheel chair friendly. Highly recommended

Very friendly staff besr capachino coffee in wakefieald and do a mega bacon sandwich very reasonable prices

Gorgeous food with great value for money.staff were lovely and the cafe was bright, spacious and inviting. I would recommend it to anyone old or young. I like the ethos of supporting local community and enabling people with health issues to work in a supportive environment. The cakes were exceptional.

Lovely place and excellent coffee

Called for lunch today with friends, fish coujons were tasteless, and the fish was brown inside. Chips half cooked and crunchy, the place has deteriorated over the last 12 months, will never visit again, complained to the management before leaving

Called today for a quick lunch. The salmon sandwich was delicious. The service was excellent and the prices were reasonable. I will definitely be recommending to friends and family.

These guys did the food for a wake for us and it was fantastic so I visited the cafe and it was just as good. Will be back

Love this place! Food great, good value and staff friendly and welcoming. Great place for a midweek lunch.

Nice food,kids meals are big portions

Beautiful multi-coloured light shades, great scones. Excellent place for coffee and buffet lunch with my U3A group from Ilkley. As it was pouring with rain our Civic Society tour guide talked gave us a talk about the history of Wakefield in the cafe. The cafe staff were welcoming and efficient.

Bellissimo e un saluto alla mia sorellina 😍😘

This Cafe is a favourite place for Excellent food, at reasonable prices. The Salmon with dill and salad on brown breadcake is delicious, The staff are always pleasant and helpful, Portion sizes are good, and beautifully presented. I recommend the Create Cafe , which is in the same building as the Museum and Library. The building has disabled access.and also lift to the Cafe. There is parking a short walk away.

Friendly staff,fab food my goto for gluten free meals

Nice place to visit for lunch, or a coffee and cake. Good variety of food on the menu and all freshly cooked. Worth a visit 👍

We have been here twice now had coffee and cake and would recommend. The coffee is very nice as good as many of the coffee shops we visit. Nice clean place and I like that you can see them preparing the food. Pleasant staff too Thankyou

Eventually found it. Worth a visit as you can access the library and museum too. Food and drink good.

Warm welcome from all staff. Great choice of food at good prices. Plenty of seating in a big space. Been a couple of times recently.

Great atmosphere and fabulous staff

Fantastic place👌Food and staff are awesome 👏😎

Been here alot with Groupon deal,love the afternoon tea

Really great value for money, a great range of good food and good service.

Another little gem in Wakefield. Very good food, very good service, lots of space and really good value for money.

Friendly, professional staff, great food at a reasonable price

We visited here on a groupon deal for afternoon tea…instead of a selection of sandwiches we were asked to choose one from the menu. We also received a selection on mini cakes and scones which were delicious. Wonderful cafe, friendly staff, serving fresh, good quality food.

Marvellous cocktail class for the civic society

Create Cafe is really good if you need lots of room, I visited with my son and had his big pram and all the stuff babies require haha - i didn’t feel like I took up too much space. Staff are very friendly, and there’s good baby changing facilities. The only let down is the food. I had the meat flatbread pizza, the chunks of chorizo were way too thick, it was cooking chorizo rather than normal thin sliced so impossible to bite through. The chips weren’t great either. If I return, I’d probably just go for a simple panini or something in the future.

Lovely place, lovely staff. Good food. Based in the same building as Wakefield library and Wakefield museum.

Great place, great food, great staff, great price highly recommend

Had a lovely Christmas lunch. Staff were very friendly.

Love it here. Family friendly and the staff are lovely. Food is gorgeous, soo worth the money and its so clean.

Very spacious place. Staff great. Food was nice, had a full breakfast and you do get plenty. Fast service. They do decaf drinks. Only 2 ladies toilets one of which was out if order. I will go again and try something different to eat. Extensive menu choices. Not much parking nearby 90p for 1 hour only and 3 disabled spots (which were occupied when we arrived)

Colourful and good food and drinks and spacious

Amended review to be more constructive - Disappointed by the food, but mostly the attitude of the chef to the complaint. Some people can't accept critism. It doesn't take a Michelin star chef to know when food doesn't taste right, and we know how a frankfurter is supposed to taste. The waitress was pleasant and apologetic. 99% of the time, if a complaint is handled carefully the customer will leave happy. If the customer is told they are wrong and initially dismissed, it might end up in a bad review. I would advise that your team (mainly the chef) are trained on how to handle returns and the importance of customer service. Otherwise the venue is great and one bad experience doesn't make a bad venue. Most other reviews are positive so we must have caught them on a bad day.

Excellent lunch and service. The best bit is its a non profit helping those that might struggle in the work place. Why would you go anywhere else when in central Wakefield?

I booked afternoon tea to meet with an old friend. I was greeted by Louis before the rest of my party had arrived. He kindly seated me and got me a drink. When everyone had arrived Louis explained that hot drinks were unlimited, we could choose any sandwich from the menu on brown or white and a selection of bite-size desserts would accompany with scones. The restaurant is light and airy, the food was well presented and enjoyable. The whole experience was extremely pleasant and I would definitely go again. Thank you CREATE team for a wonderful afternoon. I would also like to add that Louis was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble.

It's a really relaxing cafe space and the coffee is really good. There's a wide range of food on offer, including options you wouldn't normally find in a typical cafe. I particularly recommend the falafel burger.

Lovely food at great prices+friendly staff😍

Great food, brilliant service, good prices. Always loved this cafe.

This was very expensive afternoon tea for what you got. The sandwich was two slices of bread which was stale and the crusts inedible. The filling was not how was described on the menu. The tea was a tiny teapot with no offer of a refill. The scone was also tiny and of poor quality with no butter and the cream being the canned squirty cream with no consistency. The buns were the size of a 50 pence piece and also of poor quality we left most. All of the group I was with came out disappointed and hungry I would have to say it is the worst afternoon tea I have ever had.

When in Wakey! Delicious food and the best Burgers in Wakefield!

Bright, cheerful café with comfy seats and plenty of space. Lovely food and drinks, including vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. Great coffee. Friendly helpful staff. Highly Recommended.

Excellent friendly service. Great coffee and Grandma Wild's fab biscuits!! I'll be back!!

Fantastic food and the best place for a coffee in wakefield.

Fresh, tasty and really affordable really enjoyed my lunch and would go back again. Staff were friendly and helpful too

Quality food at excellent prices

Light and spacious award winning cafe. Such friendly staff and the food is locally sourced and home-made. Delicious. I also love their ethos. The team have created a superb community hub.

Pleasant calm atmosphere. Excellently made Mocha and Coffee. Offers both Soy and Oat milk.

Fantastic, no nonsense food and great service.

Delicious food , great variety on menu, excellent value,very clean. One of my favourite places for lunch

Great food great staff great venue

Great cafe with lovely drinks. It was clean with plenty of space.

Always enjoy a visit to Create Cafe.. Good food nice atmosphere

This amazing place is Howick's best-kept secret. Create offers a mouth-watering selection of healthy food and delicious smoothies. They use the best quality ingredients Warning: Once you've been spoilt, you will find similar items offered by other cafes really disappointing.

Lovely food well priced, service quick and polite, Beautiful Americano coffee, will go go again

Friendly service, brilliant food and reasonably priced too. The cafe is very clean, very bright and furnished nicely. A really great place to stop for a drink/food or work from.

Love the meat feast flatbreads from here.. great portion size and proper meat is used.

Really lovely family-friendly cafe! Great quality food, very reasonably priced, lots of choice and very tasty. Great place to come and just read and have coffee and cake too. Right next door to museum and library. Feels like a great local hub. Love looking at local art up on the walls too. Staff always helpful and service very good.

Have had our work Christmas do here for the last three years. Food has always been very good. Service had always been very good.

Really enjoyed the food here, was welcoming and patient with the little ones

ALWAYS superb. Great food, great prices. Service is often by inexperienced people which means it can be a tiny bit clunky sometimes but that's part of the fun; happy to support them as they learn their trade. Well worth a visit.

Great service, great food, very nice atmosphere, recommended.

Found the staff rather offhand, I had placed my order and paying by debit card. Where will you be sat, I was asked. The place was pretty full and I was on my own. I don't know, I said, I will have to find somewhere. Well we need a table number if you want your food! Quite sharply and rude. Whilst I was putting my debit card away another member of staff pushed my glass, can of pop and napkin aggressively to the side of the counter, did not speak to me and glared. All together not pleasant or relaxing. I hope the panni is good after this bad attitude.

Lovely staff. Very accommodating! Lovely food too!

Cannot rate this place enough, every meal we have had is excellent. Freshly cooked excellent value food. The staff are friendly and cannot do enough for you. Our favourites are the home cooked fresh burgers, Just a lovely place to be- roomy, airy and colourful. Excellent and interesting menu with great value food, freshly prepared and served with a smile. Best quality ingredients, excellent tea and coffee

I often pop in for a coffee and a home made scone. Tasty products, wide range of choice and friendly staff in a really pleasant environment.

The menu is just right if you want a stack or something more filling. All the food is fresh, and the prices make you smile

Lovely relaxed cafe. Perfect location for families, as the city's museum and library are in the same building so we always visit when here. The food is good, homemade, healthy food and at an affordable price too. The coffee is good too.

Having looked up possible cafes for a breakfast before catching the London train from Westgate station I was lured to this place. Brilliant space; clean open and colourful. Staff were chatty and friendly and most important the full English was a corker. Whenever in Wakefield, make an effort to check it out even just for a tea or coffee, you will be pleasantly surprised

Nice place to have a coffee and a snack children friendly .
