Marina View in Bradford

Nice little cafe with a fantastic view over the marina. Lovely food at a reasonable price. Decent coffee too. And a very relaxed atmosphere. The owners were very friendly and helpful. There's a little soft play area in the shape of a boat for the little 'uns too.

First time here at the Marina Cafe and it is lovely! The staff, the food, the atmosphere…everything.

Apperley bridge marina cafe has fantastic home made cakes and sweet treats. A good selection of hot beverages and sandwiches. Dave and Sam are extremely welcoming and their prices are very reasonable. A place you could meet friends or feel comfortable being there alone. There's a friendly atmosphere and dogs welcome. Best wishes Lisa

What a delight! A group of us finished our walk at The Marina Café today. We were greeted warmly on arrival, service was very quick and there was a good choice of cakes/snacks. Sat in the sunshine this morning, nothing could have been nicer!

Very warm welcome from the staff upon arrival and nothing was too much trouble. Food was very good and reasonably priced too. This was our first visit and we’ll definitely be back.

Lovely friendly staff, reasonable choice of food, well presented food and drinks. Cakes are especially good, I recommend the Victoria sponge.

Lovely place for a coffee or tea. Carrot cake is absolutely delicious

Such a find set beside a small boat/bargue marina beside Leeds Manchester canal. Coffee and cakes good

Beautiful little cafe on the waterfront with a lovely view! I had a panini which was delicious and a very generous piece of carrot cake. Staff were lovely, will definitely be back :)

Called in for a coffee , ended up having a sandwich too. I had a bacon, tomato & mozzarella panini, hubs had a bacon sandwich. Both absolutely delicious, cooked perfectly and well presented. Lovey cafe with lots of indoor & outdoor seating. Excellent service and a really warm, welcoming atmosphere.

First time visit. Lovely friendly staff and good bacon rolls.

A lovely warm welcome from the owners today on our visit. They were even kind enough to sort out my little ones jam on toast after it was blown away in the wind which was so kind and thoughtful. We will be back again regularly over the summer period I am sure where we can try out some more of what is on offer with hopefully some dairy-free options ☺️

Lovely family friendly brunch for all to enjoy. Provides oat milk and a play pond for the children. The new owner is friendly and welcoming. A big order well catered to. Peaceful surroundings. Definitely our new local. Jess, Dom and Family x

Sat here, just had a great egg and bacon sarnie with a great cup of coffee. Very nice welcome from friendly guy overseeing cafe. Quick service just before it got busy with locals. Can’t fault it at all.

Had a canal walk with friend then popped in this little gem. The friendliest service ever and fabulous coffee. Cakes that are not good for the waistline but good for the soul! Definitely recommend and we’ll be back!

Found this lovely little cafe tucked away next to the marina. It's under new ownership and they seem absolutely amazing. Felt like nothing would have been too much. Both dog and child friendly. The service was brilliant with nice food. They have indoor and outdoor seating and a little soft play boat for the kids to play in and even gave us some duck food for my niece to feed the ducks. Only downside was the menu was very limited however they do have a very small kitchen so it's also understandable.

What a great find this place is. The owners were really welcoming and friendly. I had a cup of tea and a panini which were perfect. I will definitely be returning!

Truly beautiful location...great service and good choice of food. Most importantly for us...it's dog friendly! Enjoyed fabulous breakfast sandwiches at the weekend...sat upstairs...superb view over the Marina x

We called in for a quick coffee and we were not disappointed. The coffee was lovely and the owners were very hospitable, friendly and welcoming. We will be back for a coffee and food very soon! See you soon and thanks again for the fab coffee! Kind regards Jayne and Russ x

First time I have been here, the food is freshly made and very good. The staff are friendly and attentive would recommend to everyone, nicely situated at the side of the canal will be going back.

Now under new ownership - very friendly to people and also dog friendly. The cafe is in a great setting with a good breakfast and lunch menu.

Absolutely stunning little gem down by the canal. Perfect place to sit, have a quiet cup of coffee and watch the world go by!

Lovely food, setting and staff. First visit but will definitely return.

Lovely little place, tranquil setting. Great for refreshments after a walk on the canal.

Had arranged to go here with my daighter for early Mothers Day lunch. As we went in there were a couple of children, who must have been family , wiping coke bottles. We got no greeting, it was cold and I couldnt see a menu. The place was empty. We ended up leaving. It could be such a lovely little cafe on the side of the canal.

Fantastic food (cooked fresh to order) brilliant views, friendly staff What a beautiful place to sit and watch the world go by whilst having a cuppa and something to eat. Soft play area is a big attraction for the little ones 🙂

5 out of 5 would recommend this place delicious food and lovely service, we had Wensleydale and onion marmalade panini and bacon tomato and mozzarella panini and two large cappuccino can't say it enough absolutely delicious!

Nice food, nice atmosphere. But the service was incredibly slow unfortunately.

Food is very nice, staff are very friendly thanks

If you want tea or coffee here it's nice view to enjoy it and they also serve food but it's take long time to get ready you have to wait for while if you are not in hurry.

A wonderful venue. Excellent, friendly service! All the food and ingredients were thoughtfully and ethically sourced to ensure high quality. A really high standard for a relatively small place but with a lovely atmosphere on the waters edge! I'd recommend it!

The location is beautiful and it could be an amazing cafe but it needs work. The service was ridiculously slow. It took an hour to serve 3 cheese toasties and a bacon sandwich and when I asked for brown sauce I was told sauce is usually chargeable but as we’d waited a while it was complimentary. I’ve never had to to pay for a condiment anywhere!! It seemed everyone was waiting ages. They said they were a staff member down but it wasn’t particularly busy.

Beautifully setting overlooking the canal. Indoor and outdoor seating so suitable for all weathers. However the food service is dreadfully slow. We were their first customers on the day we visited and it took an hour to bring us 2 bacon rolls and a toastie!! For this reason I can’t recommend eating there although the food when it finally arrived was ok.

Lovely food, calm and relaxing with views of the canal

Called in with my family today, food was good but customer service wasn’t! Not greeted when we came in (only customers there at the time) I asked if they had a menu and was abruptly told by a young girl “it’s on the door” same sullen attitude when I went to order and then again when she brought out food, practically slamming it on the table! The only saving grace was the older lady who brought our tea with a smile. Cleanliness wasn’t great either. Certainly not the place it was when it first opened.

Great place to sit and watch the canal with a cuppa. Staff just lovely, very attentive and smiley

Nice spot for a coffee and a bacon sandwich. Friendly staff.

Lovely little coffee shop in a quirky building. The staff were so friendly, it was a highlight of our visit! Only loses a star because the food options are very limited, but to be fair it's a very small shop. Highly recommended!

The two women staffing this cafe seem to lack any kind of customer service or interpersonal skills. Being met by hostility & ‘attitude’ on a first visit does not create a good impression. I didn’t bother staying. There will be no second visit. Best avoided.

I am an occasional visitor to Leeds, and when I visit, I always visit the coffee shop. The shop is situated in a very idyllic marina. The customer service is second to none and the products served are of a very high standard. I highly recommend this coffee shop.

Had a really lovely latte and a brownie today. Well worth a visit. A lovely venue to sit in the sun

Good flat white and kind service

Without a doubt lovely clean cafe, excellent standards, calm friendly service with a smile, this is my one go to locally because it’s a joy to visit. Thank you nothing to improve it’s perfect 👍 😊

I had a lovely breakfast here today. Beans on toast with two fried eggs on top. Eggs were perfect.

My experience with a coffee shop was not good at all, I asked for an egg sandwich and they took 35 minutes to bring it and there weren't many people and people working who didn't have a request to do, they were waiting for our order, they brought the coffee but it got cold and no order came

I’m a vegan and when I asked what they could provide they made a great suggestion. I had a smoked applewood cheese with tomato toastie, packed of crisps and a oat milk cappuccino. Great to see the cafe being so inclusive. Also stocked vegan magnum ice cream which was a real treat as was a sunny hot day and its the perfect destination for a sunny day

After a nice walk along the canal from Pudsey a perfect pitstop for tea and scones before the walk back down the river.

Very friendly, accommodating owners who serve up a delicious bacon butty. Great spot to relax and watch the world ( and the odd narrowboat) go by.

Brilliant staff good food good service.

What a great experience. Leo and Rob made us feel really welcome. Huge thank you to Leo for the super customer service too

This is the most beautiful place to visit very friendly staff amazing views excellent food and coffee

Lovely coffee and very peaceful

A good cup of coffee in nice surroundings.

Beautiful and has lots of choice

We called in after a good walk along the canal and tbh the staff are really nice , prices reasonable, latte was & other coffees ordered spot on , just one slight negative and that was the fat rascal scone which was very dry. Other than that lovely setting so a nice spot to relax.

We hired Mr Toad for the afternoon. Rob was a wonderful guide before we set off and after we came back, and the boat was easy to handle and ran perfectly. We'll be back!

Lovely friendly cafe overlooking Apperley Bridge Marina. Good variety of food and snacks. Always best to check opening times as there are a couple of days during the week when the cafe is closed.

It's a nice small and clean coffee shop. The service is a little slow but to fair that could be because of covid rules etc.

A nice coffee, delicious lotus biscuit brownie (I really recommend this). Insode is spacious and the outside spot is just lovely, peaceful and nice to meet others, covid safe.

Always a pleasant experience, just nice to sit and watch the boats, have a nice drink and maybe a cake

Excellent service very friendly lovely coffee

This place was a hidden gem for me, amazing food and drinks with all locally sourced quality produce with a great choice of desserts and sweets for your family, all staff was very friendly and made you feel so welcome, and the view of the marina is breathtaking, we will be back again thats for certain, keep up the amazing work guys

We booked an afternoon trip on the excellent Mr. Toad boat. Rob and Vicky made sure we were well looked after and fully prepared before we set out on an absolutely brilliant afternoon on the canal. Rob was clear and helpful in getting us 100% ready to operate the boat safely and courteously and gave us loads of ideas of tips of where to stop and relax. A handy foldaway table and chairs meant we could stop for a canal side picnic before we headed down to Rodley for a stop at the Railway Inn. The journey was peaceful and relaxing and we got to see the canal from a whole new perspective which was brilliant. Highly recommended and will definitely do it again. Thank you Rob and Vicky!

Just been to marina view coffee shop very friendly sat outside with dog just had a bacon sandwich very nice will definitely be back

Came in today and had a really nice sandwich. The cafe is big and offers waterfront views of Apperley Bridge marina. It's a beautiful place and very peaceful. At the moment with Covid-19 they have a takeaway service which is helpful. Really, really lovely staff who go out of their way to serve you well. Absolutely brilliant will return

Amazing chocolate, amazing drinks, great people and great place! Highly recommended.

The cafe is run mainly by Vicky she’s in one of the photos, she is also an accomplished first class chocolatier, producing many really different mouth watering chocolates, she operates several tasting events throughout the year, details can be found on her website. Rob her partner helps whenever but he’s actually the manager of the marina, and chandlers shop which is attached to the main cafe building. Definitely worth a visit whilst your in the area!

Great food and relaxed atmosphere with a nice little kids play area.

Its a very friendly environment and we always get a coffee worth waiting for and made just how we like it 😀😎.

Great cafe staff very pleasant and lovely views and disabled access.

Awesome staff, give her a pay rise👍

Lovely friendly service and nice coffee

If ever a cafe deserved to do well this is the one. The staff are lovely and can't do enough to make you happy. The place is airy and bright, nicely decorated and spotlessly clean. The food is varied, reasonably priced and caters for all diets including mine (vegan). The young couple who run it have exciting plans for its future and I'm looking forward to going back to see how those plans have come to fruition. Lunch here was the highlight of my day.

I never understand this place. Middle of summer: should it not be open daily? Never mind "Can't get staff" - it's a business so earn while the custom is there. And don't ask me if I work seven days a week. The answer is yes: I have my own business.

The kids love watching the fish, always lovely welcome

Friendly unusual outlook over basin full of longboats and barges

Great please for a nice quiet coffee fabrics

Perfect little coffee shop on the canal. The staff are really friendly and welcoming. The bacon and egg sandwich was delicious. We'll definitely be coming back.

Lovely friendly staff and nice cakes.

Friendly cafe, great selection of coffees and sandwiches

Lovely little peaceful cafe. On a sunny day sit outdoors and watch boats cruising on the canal. Tasty food, lovely hot coffee. Little play area indoors for toddlers. Open Fri-Sun.

Thank you so much for looking after us so well today. Fabulous food and drink. Great service and the kids loved the play bit...thank you

A bit pricey but pleasant enough.

Lovely little cafe, excellent coffee, food and service x

Lovely little cafe. Lovely activities too. They do breakfast too. X

Nice food, good value, nice location

A great little place for a coffee or snack mid way through a walk, or even by car. Lovely views, especially from upstairs, looking over the marina. Would recommend.

A perfect birthday gift for my husband, we done a tester hour or so along the Liverpool Leeds canal with beautifully made tea for two, highly recommended gift and we will be doing this again on the full day experience

Friendly atmosphere, play facilities for children, good quality food at reasonable cost.

Lovely little cafe, friendly staff, great location. 👍

My son and I popped in for a bacon roll and a drink on a rainy Sunday, I found the staff to be welcoming and warm with a nice family friendly atmosphere. Food was freshly made and very good (the bacon was nice and thick!). My son loved the small soft play area and he definitely gives 5 stars.

Lovely coffee and charming service.

The cafe serves tasty food. However, our visit was to go out onto the canal in Mr Toad. This afternoon was excellent, we took a picnic and was provided with some water as it was a very hot day. We went up and down the canal admiring the views and the wildlife. We took a couple of very young passengers for their first boat trip and they had a great time. Mr Toad was lovely experience. Thanks

Lovely friendly cafe, first time visited. Highly recommend :-)

Lovely venue. Sandwich was freshly made. Cheery staff. Good value

A great little coffee shop serving the best bacon and egg sandwich I've ever had. Pretty little marina with day boat hire. A lovely walk alongside the canal in both directions.

Fantastic day up and down the canal on Mr Toad - finished with a lovely cuppa in the cafe. Brilliant service, friendly, helpful and totally understandable advice on using the boat and the rules of the canal.Full facilities available on the boat. Would recommend hiring Mr Toad for a nice family friendly day on the canal.
