Goat Gap Cafe in Craven

Perfect place for a break whilst travelling in this beautiful part of Yorkshire. Great food and friendly staff a bit of a hidden gem.

What a great find - superb breakfast. Every item carefully cooked and really tasty. Really nice atmosphere and very helpful staff

Delicious breakfast. Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere and loved the views from the giant windows.

What a lovely little roadside cafe. The staff were so happy, helpful and seemed to be having a great time dispite the fact that it was a busy Sunday lunch/brunchtime. The Sausage rolls were to die for and the cakes were a real treat having climbed Inglebrough the day before.

Had a saltbeef sandwich, but sadly the cure hadn't reached much of the inside of the beef and it was like eating totally raw beef. Salad and slaw and chips excellent. Service friendly and efficient. Atmosphere is a bit canteenish. Coffee excellent.

Scrambled egg on sourdough bread was next level good! Lovely little cafe off the main road.

Nice cafe good food nice staff plenty of parking

Very nice food in generous quantities.

A very odd experience. Almost as if customers were a bother. We arrived at 11:30AM, and smelled some wonderful grilled meats. But the only menu they had was the breakfast menu. We asked 3 different employees about what was going to be served and when and referenced the great aroma. The first one replied: "it's whateverr is in the BBQ". Rather obvious. We asked what it was and when it would be available and were ignored. A similar situation with the cashier and then with the fellow who suddenly ran around the restaurant after we had gotten our tea and pastry (we had wanted something more substantial, but not breakfast at 11:30). He relied: "I don't know what the chef is cooking". We looked at the menu which had better choices for lunch, and then the menu guy put up the daily special board a few seconds later, which clearly referenced several meat items. The also had a board with a schedule: 3PM cold sandwiches and soup only.3:15 desserts only, and 3:30 takeaway only. Weird and compressed service timeline. We ended up leaving since no one seemed to want us to be able to order anything we were interested and and no employee had a clue despite there being 6 people in the one large open 15 foot square kitchen and counter. The food may have been good, but we would never have known despite our best efforts.

Lovely stop. Soup and bread were delicious and hearty. The bakery was wonderful.

A very nice café with extensive views. Dog friendly.

Lovely place for a coffee and cake etc Friendly fast service and friendly Lovely spot

Lovely spot! clean and welcoming, friendly staff. I had superfood salad, which was very different and tasty. My husband had Asian pork bagel 🥯 which he thoroughly enjoyed. We also bought delish looking kitkat brownie and the lovely lady cut it in two for us to have later. Unfortunately we never got to eat them as our teenagers discovered them before we got a chance… We’ll be back same time next year, keep up the good work 😊

Really want to like this place but I'm afraid I didn't. Staff were fine and the location is great...but coffee pretty dire and the "superfood salad" at almost £12 just wasn't. I've had quite a few of these in various places and expect at least a few seeds, maybe lentils and a range of veg with a good dressing. This one was a huge amount of half cooked carrot chunks, bulgur, some strangely soggy cherry tomatoes and cucumber that had the texture of something once frozen..and some very strong and unpleasant, possibly kimchi (?) fennel. And of course some brown balsamic reduction on top. So disappointing and not at all super. A real shame.

Brilliant find, excellent food.

Convenient location on the A65 with good parking for cars and bikes. Excellent, friendly service, great food and, importantly, dog-friendly. Recommended 👍👍

Passed many a time on the bike, so thought it was time to call in and check out what's on offer!.. Just caught the breakfast menu (Finishes at 11:30) and ordered the breakfast, can see why the place is always busy with cars in the carpark, a perfect brunch! Will be back! 🙂 Update: SEP 24, after several visits, can say the quality is consistent, and great food everytinme 😀

Amazing little find. Great and honest food and drink. Friendly efficient service. Little gem. Highly recommend

Good intelligent service at good value.

Nice cafe prices not bad and service is excellent view if you get the right weather is great

Love this place. Menu is different and the accomnimemts are original and super tasty. Proper chips. Specials board. Dog friendly. Great staff.

Arrived too early for lunch menu, but asked if I could have a salad, as I can't eat a heavy meal with carbs when driving. A beautifully presented meal was brought out to me at my table ! Very tasty and fulfilling, with low carbs. Would recommend here, for service, atmosphere and great value for money. Thanks to the chef for his kindness.

Great food and very comfortable.

Our regular stop after a day on the fells or biking, on the way back home. Great selection of cakes!

We love this place. We come in for breakfast everytime we visit the lakes especially on the way home. Great food, spacious, modern, clean and dogs allowed. Perfect

Strategically located on a through road this cafe is always busy. Stopped of here one quiet afternoon when for a change there were only a few people visiting. It was 45 minutes before closing though. Staff are pleasant, service is good and food varied and good value. Area is clean, location beautiful and value for money high. Down side is closes quite early and the closer you get to closing time the offering gets smaller. That's to be expected as ovens need switching off hobs need cleaning etc. the other thing is it feels a bit like a church hall ratger than a cafe but honestly thats not really much. So as a cafe it's very good and testimony to that are the hundreds of people that always seem to patronise it.

Family live local and this was on our route home. Lovely welcome, nice selection on the menu, we ate from the specials board and the braised beef with jalapeño and cheese bap was gorgous. Very generous portions, too. Freshly cooked food with good quality ingredients. Can highly recommend.

Stopped off for drink & snack on route to the Lakes. 👍👍

Nice busy little place Cleen good food.

We used to call in often because the food was excellent. But it has gone down hill, today I had a ham and mustard sandwich because they have stopped doing the pulled pork wrap. The ham was thin sliced in a Warburton thin sliced bread. Silly me thought the ham would be thickly sliced and in a baguette. If I wanted a cheap ham sandwich I would have gone to a supermarket, and spent £2 instead of £8.

Had a nice coffee and delicious homemade cake after stopping on our way the Lake District. Would certainly call again.

Just had an Excellent lunch at Goat Gap. Gluten free sandwich with salad and fries. Fresh quality ingredients in a good atmosphere. The bread was buttered and the slices were a good size with lots of filling. Speedy friendly service.. pricy for a sandwich but good value with salad and fries included.

Very pleasant café. Excellent friendly service. I just had a scone, but the rest of our group had sandwiches which looked delicious - they said they tasted really good too. The portions were very generous. Great value for money.

I work locally and have been coming here for lunch every week or so since it opened. The service is super speedy and there's a great lunch menu and specials board every day. Lovely friendly and professional staff. Nice coffee. The meals are really big but they are always willing to give you a doggie bag / box if you don't manage the whole thing. Highly recommend!

I came here three years ago and remembered how nice it was so thought I’d come again and I can say I was not disappointed. The food here is absolutely excellent.

Called on our way home after being up in the lakes. Really just wanted a drink, but looked at menu and both decided to have something to eat aswel. I had a cheese toasty and fries, which was very nice, very tasty. Probably one of the nicest toasties I've had to be fair. My wife just wanted a bowl of chips and again looked nice, and my wife said they was. Plenty of parking, with a good tarmac surface, good access into the building. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Right on the A65. If we're passing again at some point, it will be a place to stop at again. Definitely recommend it.

Lovely spot to stop on the drive to Scotland, with absolutely excellent veggie frittata.

As always Goat Gap was a reliable choice. Good food from a smallish menu. Staff are friendly & welcoming. Good arrived quickly & was tasty (,my only grump was the thinly sliced gherkin / pickle I love gherkins so it only teased my taste buds 😜) It was a busy, real mix of customers, families, young groups & 'silver haired' bikers

Nice views, friendly staff in a unique location, good stop off point on trip back from Blackpool.

Always a tasty meal served here by pleasant, cheerful and helpful staff

We often stop here for a late breakfast. Always has a good choice of food, including daily specials.

Stopped off for breakfast for the first time.Great food and staff and service were first class..Will definitely stop again.

Hands down The best salt beef 👌 I've ever had. Very large portions. My mum loved the carrot & Harrisa soup too absolutely beautiful inside and out. Will be back

Wonderful coffee and cakes. Very friendly staff. Will be back for more cakes and homemade elderflower juice for sure.

Lovely food , nice friendly staff & good service, good value for money definitely recommend 👍👍

Great place for a stop off. Coffee was delicious 😋

Passed this cafe a million times but stopped today and glad I did. Dog-friendly and spacious, I got a warm welcome. I ordered off-menu with no problem and was offered a hot water top-up by a passing waitress. Plenty of parking is great and also fab views from inside. Excellent brunch!

The best scrambled eggs and bacon and toast, great food and service! Dog friendly as well!

Out for a Sunday ride with the intention of stopping for breakfast somewhere en route. Had been to the Goat Gap some years ago and had a very nice lunch so, decided to see if the breakfast was as good. It was. Such a lovely place to take a break and watch the world go by and satisfy the appetite at the same time. Could be making this a regular thing. Thanks to all the staff for making the day complete.

Great, personally recommend the chicken burger which was really juicy and succulent 😋. Just off main road when travelling home so quite convenient also. Service was good too!

Only had a scone with jam and cream.. Scone was really nice but would have been better served warm

A great way for my wife and I to start our holiday with a beautiful full English. Great staff and wonderful views.

Great stop for food. Food was very good, service was also pretty good but a bit pricey for what we had. To be expected though as convenient location.

Not a great deal of choice, but nice food and good people

Great food, very reasonably priced. Will go back!

Used this place regularly in the past but on this visit seemed to be more dogs than humans. Might be small minded but I don't think dogs and food mix, especially yappy ones and those with paws on the table.

Top notch breakfast quality ingredients would recommend

First visit for us today before a visit to the dales! Had 2 full breakfasts and they were delicious! Very busy but well organised staff and cooks. Very friendly and clean. Highly recommended! Keep up the good work guys!

Stopped for a much needed cuppa, really friendly staff and good price.

Beautiful breackfast and we bought some gorgeous hand drawn pictures, definitely will be back.

Takeaway coffees and cakes today, which were fabulous. The service was slow today and i noticed others were waiting, looking concerned, waited 15 mins for a takeaway coffee? Then she forgot the cakes

Super friendly cafe, attentive service, tasty food, clean toilets and an amazing view - and very dog-friendly...the owner evening coming round with biscuits for them! Previous comments have mentioned that it was cold - but not for us, it was a very pleasant temperature.

After doing the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail and realising that on Tuesdays a lot of places are closed in Ingleton, we looked online for somewhere open. Came across the Goat Gap Cafe. Lovely dog friendly cafe. The menu is for lunch, so sandwiches, toasties, salads etc. We had soup of the day, cheese toastie and a child's meal. Food was well cooked, dogs made very welcome with dog treats and staff very friendly. Would recommend a visit. Only 8 minutes from Ingleton.

Great cafe. Friendly staff. Quick service and good honest grub.

Lovely place to stop for food or a cup of tea. Staff friendly and food 👍

Really nice lunch here. At first the prices seemed a bit high but the portion sizes make up for it. Nice pork wrap and special stew too

A Great Place For a Hot Drink and a Cake.

Just bring your appetite as portions are good Staff friendly and service good.

A meal of two halves. I had a nice coffee and a good toastie. The other two people I was with had buttermilk chicken wrap. Horrible. It was made up of offcuts of roasted or boiled chicken. It wasn't fried- if you order buttermilk chicken or Google it you can see it is supposed to be fried in a batter. Weird dish and really unappetising, with grey chicken and slimy bits of undercooked fat. Odd and maybe an anomaly as the other menu item was great and well presented. It's a nice space and the coffee is good but I'll probably avoid the food next time!

Great Yorkshire Full Breakfast with extra mushrooms!

Great breakfast 😋 but the café itself was very cold 🥶 would be much more welcoming if warmer...... Wear your thermals !!!!!!

Lovely food but the cafe itself was cold inside nearly went and got our coats from the car

Not fun trying to eat in an unheated cafe

Excellent breakfast, excellent service. And I needed wipers on my glasses like Elton john

I've visited Goat Gap Cafe on numerous occasions and not yet been disappointed.

Been here a few times and always had a fantastic experience fast nice fresh food amazing selection of home made cakes (the mince pie slice is out of this world) highly recommend

My first visit to the Goat Gap Cafe - a half-way house fir meeting up with and old friend. It was very busy so obviously popular - service was great too. The menu was quite simple - pleasantly so - the sort of place you could imagine going back to on a regular basis. We were early for lunch and arrived as people were finishing breakfast - can definitely see myself visiting for a full English!

Quick service and bacon and sausage barncake was delicious

Nice stop-off point when heading north. I had a nice pulled pork Rap Would recommend this cafe.

Great food and excellent service, staff are friendly and the atmsophere was spot on for a brunch with the baby and puppy.

Fantastic food only thing stopping 5 stars was the toast needs proper bread not mass produced tasteless stuff the rest was absolutely top notch, great service in clean and friendly surroundings.

Always good for food with efficient and friendly service.

It is an excellent cafe in a beautiful location. Large car park with disabled access. The food and service were very good. A busy cafe with plenty of seating and takeaway options. Update: Our 2nd visit did not disappoint. We opted for the specials board with homemade giant sausage roll and brie and serrano ham on sourdough bread. The food is excellent, service with a smile and a great location.

Great dog friendly cafe with simple food done well. We had a toasty and salt beef sandwich. Great stop on the way to the lakes

Very nice food and a good selection of cakes...

One of our favourite stood on our way to the Lakes or Scotland, where you can dine at breakfast, brunch, lunch or afternoon tea on home made or locally sourced produce. Friendly, helpful and welcoming staff, with food at a very reasonable price. Miss this one, miss out !!!

Best bacon rolls we've ever eaten.

Love stopping here. Friendly, warm and good food or cakes.

Been wanting to visit this cafe for ages with passing it so often. Tasty cakes on offer, friendly service and the coffee was good. Didn't try any of the menu but they had some pretty special looking sandwiches which I think will tempt me next time...

Well worth a visit if you are passing by.

Having never stopped off here at Goat Gap Cafe we pulled in here after 3 nights stay in Bowness on Windermere.. Friendly staff in this amazing area with scenery that is off the scale.. Enjoyed our cuppa of Yorkshire tea plus delicious homemade fruit scone with scummy butter and jam for hubby... Seemed to be busy always, even had handmade gifts, postcards also birthday cards from local artist... Stop off at this incredible cafe treat !!!

Nice cafe, nice food, although the menu was a little limited.

Great place to stop off for a coffee etc

Good place to stop for refreshments on a journey . Washrooms immaculate, plenty of car parking. Good good.service ok.

An excellent cafe with beautiful food. Very busy but no wait for a table.

Have the full Yorkshire breakfast. Good value, but would love to have a choice of eggs other than fried. Recommend ordering the additional has browns and sour dough toast.

Had a nice meal here on the way back from walking in the Lake District. Food is great. Plenty of space in the cafe and the carpark.

This cafe is situated on the A65 between clapman and ingeton. It's situated in the middle of nowhere surrounded by a breathtaking sorounding natural landscape. The place is modern and seemed well patronized for a weekday bfast place. Parking was ample at least when we got there.

Very friendly and helpful staff
