G’s Cakes in Calderdale

This is a little gem of a cafe in the Piece Hall in Halifax. I came with a coach party from around the Blackpool area and we were dropped off at the Piece Hall first. It used to be a cloth merchants place many years ago and I worked just around the corner from here in an office in the 90’s and could not believe how much it had changed. It is full of little independent shops well worth venturing inside to look around. The stone work has been cleaned and the walkways/ floor redesigned. It’s beautiful now. A lot of money has been spent doing it up. They were just preparing to hold a Eurovision Song Contest party and I believe they held a Coronation party also for King Charles on May 6th. I ventured upstairs, there are lifts as well as stairs and came across G’s cakes. I love a nice latte and cake. Already members of my coach party were inside and I was served by a really lovely lady called Helen. She said she loved her job and you could tell. Nothing was too much trouble. I had a latte which was just perfect and a large slice of Victoria sponge. It was delicious. There were so many cakes to choose from. I was told they also had another outdoors eatery downstairs. It was so nice in G’s cakes, I went back before the coach headed onto Shibden Hall.

Absolutely delicious coffee and cake. Caters for vegan and GF. Great little space to sit at Piece Hall. Highly recommend!

Enjoyed a lovely coffee and cake in this friendly cafe today. I would highly recommend the chocolate brownie, which was excellent. We sat in the upstairs cafe which was quite small, but the bakery downstairs has a large outdoor seating area. The lady serving us was very friendly and added to a very enjoyable break.

We visited G's cakes today at the Piece Hall and had coffee, the staff were welcoming and friendly. We didn't want cake at that time but. said we would have some to take away later, the Gingerbread Latte cake was recommended and I was requested to leave a review if I tried it. We later went to The Bakery and purchased a slice of this and a slice of coffee and walnut to take away. We was really looking forward to having these but was extremely disappointed with both. The gingerbread latte cake lacked flavour and was over cooked, heavy and dry. The coffee and walnut appeared to be from separate batches with no coffee in the sponge, only in the buttercream, the top half was quite light but the bottom half very dense. At a price of £3.50 per slice I would have expected far better quality, to be honest I can produce a better cake myself so instead of it being a treat at the end of a lovely day it just cast a bad taste in mouths. Service, great, cakes poor.

We have visited G's Cakes a few of times and each time the owner and other staff members have been pleasant and very helpful. Walking in here is like walking into a cakey heaven! All the different types of cakes, cookies and brownies that we have tried tasted amazing - we would definitely recommend a visit!

Lovely selection of tray bakes ( many chocolate choices ) incorporating chocolate eggs of many varieties and nice chunky biscuits .

Great place for a cuppa and catch up with a great variety of delicious cakes, teas and coffees. Lovely

Hidden gem only called in for take out cakes they are really good all homemade and so tasty well worth a visit and can sit in for a coffee very nice

Fabulous little cafe , the staff are amazing , so friendly and chatty, we had a good laugh talking about Scones or scones how it’s pronounced depending where you come from ,, we will definitely be back the cakes scones & coffee where delicious Thanks guy we loved meeting you

My husband said that the coffee was excellent! He rarely passes a comment. A tribute indeed. Just a few cake choices. That’s all they sell, drinks and amazing cakes! I had blond rocky road, he had snickers brownie. We shared both. Let me tell you they were extra ordinary! Delicious. Luscious. Excellent. G’s is on the first tier (north). Well worth exploring! There is only seating for approx 10 customers at a time. Make sure you are one of them!

We came here in July, on holiday in the UK from Canada, and our friends who had been to G's Cakes highly recommended it. They were so right! It was the perfect way to start the morning, with delicious and decadent treats and a good specialty coffee. The four of us enjoyed everything. I swear you can get a cavity just looking at those cakes. Making it even better are the hosts, who went out of their way to make us feel welcome and at home. Lovely conversation, discussions and advice about the Piece Hall, Halifax itself, and some other wonderful things to see and do made it a great place to begin our explorations. Having coffee and cakes at G's gave us the energy to do so! If you're in the Piece Hall, or even the Halifax town centre, you must make the trip to G's Cakes.

Small coffee and cake shop on the top floor of the historic and beautiful Pice Hall in Halifax Town Centre. Coffee was excellent although not many cakes on display.

Friendly and welcoming family run cafe.The cakes are to die for and not for those counting calories. Partner them with the delicious coffee and you're in for a treat.

Phenomenal cakes! I visit here several times a week as it is just opposite work and I cannot praise it highly enough. It is a family run business, and having met the owners, you can see how much love goes into their goods! I have very consistent, positive experiences here. The only complaint I have is the damage it is doing to my waistline! Keep up the good work, guys!

Cannot comment on the food as we were told they do not cater for vegans. A shame as there are so many establishments that offer at least one vegan option. Especially when there is an excellent vegan shop (Leaf) just along the balcony. Really feel that you are missing a trick here. Any vegans reading this...go to Ginger Vegetarian Café just 5 minutes walk away. They have a superb selection.

Visited this little gem within the Piece Hall building in Halifax on a cold January day. We had searched for somewhere that would allow our little Yorkie too and found a warm welcome within its cosy walls. Delicious cakes, great coffee and warm welcome, a great find and well recommended.

Me and my mum took a random visit to Halifax and took a look around piece hall we found this little shop we ordered tea and cakes we wasn’t disappointed we enjoyed our hot drinks and the homemade cakes even more . the lady who worked in the cafe was so friendly and welcomed us we loved our visit

Mixed experience at G’s today. I’d seen their Facebook page and thought the cakes looked delicious, so wanted to give the place a try. The cakes were delicious and the service friendly. The flat white I ordered was more like a milky coffee and the correct milk preparation had not been achieved, resulting in heated milk rather than properly stretched. My friend’s pot of tea was served without a teaspoon, which is not the end of the world, but when you’re only serving tea/coffee and cake.........I would go again if I needed some cake and was too lazy to bake, but I’d rather pay £1.69 and get McDonalds equally as poor version of a flat white if I needed a coffee.

Great family run business that is very welcoming and has the best cakes around! Offer a variety of Coffee’s and cold drinks also

Love the idea of just having a little cake and coffee! Coffee is good quality and well made, cakes are delicious! I love love love the brownie! The place is run by a family and it is a very friendly and cosy environment. I look at their Instagram for what cakes they have on!

Called in a few time now the coffee is great and the service is excellent, The Cakes look too good to eat.
