Old George in Barnsley

Fabulous coffee and breakfast and lovely friendly service. The food choices are imaginative and very well prepared and presented and really tasty. IGNORE THE REVIEW ON 30th MARCH - seating isn’t cramped, service is great and bacon the best!

Not the best experience for the price point. £12 for a breakfast but you have to order at the counter. I would expect my order to be taken at the table. Poor cramped seating at the rear. Food was fine but would expect back bacon rather than fatty streaky bacon. However well presented and fresh. Tea and coffee selection what you would expect. Busy place.

Visited on Mother’s Day and had a lovely meal with my two children. Despite of having to wait for the table, we absolutely enjoyed hospitality, kindness of staff and the food.

The Old George is the only place in Barnsley for a great Lunch. Absolutely nothing is too much trouble for the hoppy, friendly staff. The food is ALWAYS fresh and well prepared. I visit regularly with my family and we have never been dissappointed. Always a please to eat great food and enjoy the very best coffee

This place is such a gem for the town, we've been many times here for lunch, breakfast and coffee/cakes. It just never disappoints, amazing tasty well cooked and presented meals. The cakes and bakes are innovative and scrumptious. Vegetarian and vegans well catered for. The staff are so friendly and obliging, such great hospitality. Made to feel valued and welcomed. Never change, Old George!

I love this place!! 🥰 Always a great cup of coffee, and the types of foods I love to eat. Welcoming, friendly, dedicated to high levels of customer service!

Really lovely cafe, the food and drinks are great and staff are really nice. You must try their brownies!

Lovely little coffee shop. The cake counter is always filled with plenty of goodies. Staff always friendly and welcoming. The food is well presented and delicious

Once again we've had a lovely breakfast in the Old George and the staff are always friendly and welcoming when you come through the door

Staying in the area and the Old George was recommended. Had the George Breakfast washed down with a cappacino. Would definitely go again.

Great full English breakfast, very high quality with great friendly and efficient service, food came really fast and was beautiful

Can quite honestly say, the best breakfast I've ever had! Hands down beats anything I've ever had before from a hotel / cafe before. Lovely coffee house, great menu,great decor, and very friendly staff. I'm 100% going back to the Old George next time I'm in Barnsley.

I found myself in Barnsley so checked Google to find the best breakfast in town , The old George Coffee House seemed to be popular so i gave it a try, £15.40 it cost me with a cappuccino. i didn’t look at the menu and ordered a full breakfast which they call “ The George “ . . MY VERDICT so it was a rather “posh” slightly pretentious looking breakfast, ingredients were all high end and presentation was good the beans were the thing thats stood out for me, almost a BBQ / smokey flavours, the coffee was really good also much better that the chains coffee shops….! . . Being picky it could have been much hotter, the sausage was meaty / a little dry and rather anaemic, the bacon was beyond crispy and no butter came with the warm bread that was ever so slightly toasted. . . I am sure there are better breakfast to be had in Barnsley

Best palce for a Coffee!!! The best Brownie ever!!! Food was so deliciuos, staff very attentive, the place its lovely! Price it's very fair!

They changed the menu today so went in for lunch. The new menu has some great choices on but I went for three side dishes for £12. Absolutely delicious and well balanced flavours. I had kale and onion bhaji bites, falafel and loaded fries. Great portions, and freshy cooked...really good, Staff were brilliant as ever and another great meal.

One of the best coffee in barnsley town and breakfast been outstanding lovely mushrooms so lovely place to go in morning for a good breakfast and decent prices

We came for lunch and couldn't fault anything. Staff were friendly and efficient, food was absolutely delicious. The cakes looked amazing but unfortunately we were too full to try one!

Forgot to leave a tip due to our feral tired kids. Figured I’d leave a review instead :). We’ve been to the one in the town hall a few times (also good) but only recently heard about this location (when somebody in front of us was wanted pancakes, so got sent over the road!!) Brilliant welcoming space and lovely food/coffee. Even humoured our 5 year olds. Definitely the best cafe in Barnsley. Thanks guys! We’ll be back.

We were passing though Barnsley on a long journey and decided to give The George a try for some breakfast. Couldn’t recommend enough - the breakfast was amazing - best fry up we’ve ever had. Staff were also lovely and friendly. If we are passing through again we will definitely be visiting again.

Old George held a curry night last night and wanted to write a review. We were welcomed with a smile and a lovely bright display of colour. We sat down and poppadoms and pickle tray while we decided on the starter and main. I had the kale and onion bhaji and my partner has tika masala fish...just perfect and tasty. Our mains were beef Madras served with a nann and my partner had a paneer flat bread with fries. Again both mains were amazing and you could not have got better in an Indian restaurant. All in all a fantastic and enjoyable night.

Absolutely Fantastic Coffee House with a lovely team of Staff who care about Customer Service and great tasting Coffee, I absolutely love visiting this place as it's good value for money and the Staff have been so kind to me on each and every visit! THANK YOU OLD GEORGE COFFEE HOUSE, Love from Ollie and Rags The Dog xxxxx

We are so lucky to have such a fantastic/homely and welcoming cafe in Barnsley. Its always first class in every way. Thank you guys for a delicious breakfast. I have coffee on a regular basis and it never disappoints, it’s simply the best due to the research these guys do to find the best quality beans and produce. Its not just the food quality it’s the presentation and attention to detail which gives Old George is 5 star Award from me. Please give them a visit as I promise you will not be disappointed x

Called in for breakfast stop was lovely and kept me going until evening had few coffees as there was busy with it being Saturday

Took husband and son and family dog for breakfast. Superb friendly staff. Food was EXCELLENT and surroundings very comfortable. Would definitely recommend.

I've been meaning to try this place for ages as I've heard good things about it and it certainly didn't disappoint. I had the Classic George breakfast and my partner had the avocado and halloumi with scrambled eggs. Everything was cooked to perfection and was...

Always 100% in everything the George has to offer. The choice of food is fabulous and the quality is just outstanding. This has been my goto place for years and my happy place to just switch off from the outside world and enjoy good food,...

A great place for excellent coffee, a fab menu that changes often so stays fresh and seasonal and with great customer service.

Lovely food and lovely staff. Always a quick service time. Never have to wait. Lovely baked goods too ☺️

I went with my parents and grandfather for breakfast on a Sunday. The staff were lovely and the menu had a variety of turned for everyone. The food was absolutely delicious- will definitely be returning!

Visited on several occasions found the food to be great and the staff were very good and attentive. Highly recommend the breakfast. Can't understand some customers comments about cold drinks if they ask the very approachable staff they will be more than happy to accommodate...

Thank you Old George for such a lovely Sunday breakfast. The staff were attentive, welcoming and ensured that we were able to use the self order app, or told us we could order at the till. I rarely drink coffee but just fancied a mocha...

I don’t usually leave reviews but credit where credit is due this place is amazing! My visit was faultless from start to finish, we were greeted by smiley welcoming staff who couldn’t do more for us, the food was out of this world. No wonder...

Absolutely love Old George and everything it has on offer. Firstly the Owners deserve so much praise for bringing this secret find to Barnsley, Barnsley Town Hall and Huddersfield. The staff are amazing and give 5 star service and always with a smile. What’s unique...

Old George is one of my local independent coffee houses and in my opinion the best. You are greeted with a smile and friendly words and offered a table. I hear them asking people if they have been before and if not go through the...

All in all a bit of a joke. Premium prices and nothing to back it up, maybe an off day but at the money they ask you can't afford to do that. Staff disinterested on arrival, bags of milk all over the dirty floor, no...

Lovely place, amazing staff and gorgeous proper coffee and yummy cakes!!! Highly recommend a visit to anyone and they have other locations too!!!

I can't fault the food or coffee here. Service however, could be improved by removing the self order system. On arrival you are directed to a table, where you follow a QR code on your phone to place your order through an online platform. There's...

Had both breakfast and lunch here on a short visit to Barnsley. Coffee was amazing and the food was delicious. Menu has a varied selection of food and just a bit different from the usual options. Staff very friendly and helpful.

met with a small group of friends, lovely food and friendly staff would highly recommend, especially the all day breakfast

Nipped in for some lunch on a busy Saturday. The greeter said we'd have a short wait for a table (understandable as we hadn't reserved) but offered to take my number so we didn't have to wait around which is a nice touch. The food...

Love the Old George. Everything about it is brilliant. The staff are great really friendly. The food and drinks are brilliant. Reasonably priced, not cheap but the quality is great. The Cakes are to die for

Had a lunch with friend. First time out post Covid and was great, delicious and friendly service. Will be back, thanks!

Went with my 2 boys for there pancakes. They are worth every penny and they were really helpful with my fussy son. I go regular for coffee but the boys love this as a treat.

Really good tasty food. Well presented. Decent portions. A proper decent pot of tea as well.Service was excellent too. Nothing not to like!

I love this place. Everything they serve is delicious and the coffee is perfect too. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. It's good value for money. Cannot recommend enough!! Try the breakfast and the donuts 🤤

Have visited a few times during local lockdowns for take away, always great food & friendly service. The £10 meal deal is such great value, it’s so nice to have somewhere in Barnsley that is friendly, approachable and has great food!

I went with my best friend for Afternoon tea and the food was amazing! Not your average cucumber sandwich,but fancy home baked sourdough bread piled with meat and salad. The cake slices were massive and tasted fantastic and we were even offered to have our...

Following a suggestion from my daughter in law i arranged to have lunch here with my friend. The cafe is tastefully and imaginatively decorated. We were greeted and escorted to our table all very professionally and safely. The menu offers a variety of unusual breakfast...

Amazing coffee. Lovely staff- loved the little H. A.G.D and smiley face written on my takeaway box which I have taken as ‘have a good day’. If it meant anything else I am then just not up on this!! Place is nothing to look at...

We’ve visited the Old George now many times over the last few months and “Truly Amazing” sums it up!!! Met by really friendly staff upon arrival, the interior is lovely, clean and bright and all COVID compliant. Everything we have had from the Açai Smooth...

They had a range of gluten free options and the staff were very helpful in telling me what i could have. Staff made us feel very welcome and we’re always smiling. Lovely food, well worth what you pay for :)

Took my children out for lunch after the lockdown and we mostly enjoyed it. We were a bit disappointed that some of our favourite dishes had been removed from the menu but our server was very kind to accommodate my fussy kids. Hot chocolate and...

This was our 2nd visit to the Old George. We travelled about 7 miles on cycles and had coffee and sandwiches. As we were keeping an eye on our bikes we were going to consume our goodies inn a bench opposite the front of the...

We fancied a change for our family breakfast out and The Old George offers a lovely variety. Coffee was excellent as always as were the milkshakes. We tried the pancakes chicken, bacon and maple syrup. They were gorgeous and we shared a cronut. Not sure...

Queuing at the bank and saw Old George coffee house, popped in for a take away coffee.. what a great find! Loverly coffee and the homemade brownies are to die for.. one not to be missed!

Absolutely amazed at the vegan treat options, coffee to die for, loads of dairy free options, go for the homemade Egan flapjack, first class, the vegan oreo cake was amazing too. Mick & Kerry

After going several times during the pandemic and them offering a takeaway service it was my first time today going to sit down for something to eat and drink. They have altered the layout so it feels very safe but without feeling hemmed in or...

Second take out afternoon tea today. If anything even better than last week which itself was gorgeous. The sausage roll was the best I have ever eaten. Everything was delicious. A really generous portion which filled me up and I am without a doubt their...

Wouldn't go anywhere else - great service and reasonable prices. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere too - highly recommended.

Just what Barnsley needed. Great coffee house serving amazing food. Tried the smoked streaky bacon sandwich served on toasted ciabatta and it was probably the best I have ever had. There was so much bacon. Would highly recommend a visit here.

You’d never expect a small independent coffee shop in Barnsley. Said it for years so thankfully it arrived. The hot chocolate is so good, the food is exceptional and the cakes and brownies even better. If you’ve not been please try 🤗

Great selection of homemade cakes, delicious coffee and a full English breakfast to die for. Just go past Costa and if you can get a table, bed in. Fabulous place.

Lovely place..great atmosphere. and very good food had a fully English for breakfast and took home a little treat for later..

Favourite weekend haunt. Very welcoming staff and allows dogs in too. All the food is excellent and some dishes are really original. Coffee is excellent and I’m picky with coffee.

Once again got there, got upstairs with a coffee (three table 2 were full of finished with dishes that looked to have been sat a while, couple of flies sat in the window...) A lady cleared a table after bringing the coffee up and it...

Having been numerous times this is one of my favourite cafes. The food, the ambience is all spot on and an absolute gem in the heart of Barnsley.

Called in here following a meeting. Staff very friendly. Cosy modern decor & atmosphere inside...sat in the area at the back which makes you feel a little like you’re dining outdoors. Shared BBQ Brisket toastie & brie and cranberry toastie - both very tasty and...

Even though the staff were busy they were pleasant (maybe need another helping hand). The coffee and hot chocolate were really good and the desserts were delightful will definitely return

Loved the experience and atmosphere in the cafe. Definitely my #1 cafe stop when out on my bike. Staff are amazing, food was great and punctual. The brownies are a must!!! Will be returning again.

Always like the coffee in here...usual drink is a long black as a good strong coffee but if you fancy something a bit longer try the americano as it's well worth it.

Had a average cup of coffee, wasn't overpriced but after speaking to the man on the til and asking if they did any special coffee for Christmas, his response was pretty condescending, it was as if the coffee he gets is so superior it wasn't...

This is a lovely place in the middle of Barnsley. It offers delicious food and friendly service. It is excellent value for money and a credit to everyone involved.

Went for breakfast with my daughter and had poached eggs on toast, was quite bland and the coffee was barely warm. The tea was also very weak even after being left for a while. Staff were very friendly however and had good service. After everything...

Lovely little place. Booked for afternoon tea with one gluten free! Great value for money £15 each but unlimited hot drinks! Definitely recommend.

I've been here a number of times and always found the staff very welcoming and attentive. The coffee is excellent as is the tea. The breakfast is exceptional and the afternoon tea is fantastic. It really is a welcome little gem in Barnsley.

After a late night on Friday, Saturday morning left is needing a good breakfast and a local recommended this place. I had a veggie breakfast and my friends went for the traditional breakfast. Absolutely superb and plenty of it. Teas and coffees were excellent too....

Popped in here for lunch during my work lunch break and been told good things about it and wasn't particularly disappointed. It's in a fairly central Barnsley location and is a friendly, welcoming place. Slightly disappointed that the salad accompanying my sandwich order wasn't a...

Love this cafe always make a beeline for my coffee fix here staff are very pleasant and attentive lovely little place just little idea be nice if offered sweetners instead of sugar I’ve only seen sugar cubes on the table for us that gas sweetners...

Cannot rate this place enough!! Have been numerous times and cannot fault the food, drinks, service and atmosphere. A real gem with high standards and quality food and staff.

THE only place to stop for lunch! Amazing food and an amazing setting. Been a few times now try to visit whenever I’m in town and recommend to everyone x fab find 👍

I have been visiting Old George since it opened. The staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is lovely. The afternoon tea was gorgeous. Only thing we do miss is the bagels.... please fetch them back on the menu!!! Apart from that if you’re in...

This is a real gem in Barnsley town centre and there are lots of seats out the back. They have loads of teas and coffees and the brownies (including lots of gluten free options) are delicious. Worth a visit

Had a wonderful experience at the old George this morning. Food and drinks were incredible and were improved by the feel and experience of the building. It was rather busy so we sat upstairs and had a lovely view of the town hall. Will definitely...

Just left the Old George and I had to leave a review, the food was absolutely outstanding and the staff were lovely. It was my first visit and I opted for a salad, the place itself is aesthetically pleasing- it’s nice to have a lovely...

Lovely cafe with pleasant staff. Clean and tidy . Good sense of hygiene and presentation. Good strong coffee and range of teas . Hot tasty sandwiches with garnish . Will return .

Lovely coffee shop virtually opposite the town hall. My friend throughly enjoyed her latte and I had a tea. Were hoping for toasties but were sadly disappointed. Enjoyed the flat breads though.

They do such beautiful food here and lovely fresh coffee. However it's a pale shadow of the menu they used to have, there's very little choice but what they do have is top quality. Please bring back your amazing toasties and afternoon teas!

This was our first visit to Old George and I will definately be returning. All the menu sounded amazing. We opted for flatbreads and fish sandwich. Really great food and friendly service.

Visited the Old George on Market Hill after reading the reviews. Small and rustic. Got a friendly welcome from the staff. Sufficient choice on the menu. Quick service and tastey sandwiches. Would definitely visit again.

Called in today on way to visit a solicitor..never been here before so saw it on the off chance, food really lovely. I had toast and marmalade..never knew toast and marmalade could taste so nice. Real French butter and thick toast..amazing..will call again on my...

Yummy quick breakfast stop. We had sour bread toast topped with humous and mushrooms, poached egg and veggie sausage sandwich. Black coffee and oat milk coffee. Good choices for vegans and dairy free people.
