Steep&Filter in Craven

Walked in to have a coffee. No greeting so we sat at a table as there was no one else there. Nobody acknowledged us - the man behind the counter continued working on his laptop. We walked out after 3 or 4 minutes and nothing was said. No wonder it was empty.

It was the first day of the Queen's Platinum celebrations, and stopping in Skipton for lunch, we discovered the town was buzzing. However, in Otley St we found a vegan cafe with available table space. The banana-on-toast was a first, and tasty.

It's our go to place for coffee in Skipton. They also have great food and the eco shop is worth a visit too

As a group of 4 we popped into this stylish looking premises for tea/coffee and cake. The biggest disappointment for me was being unable to have common all garden cows milk in my tea.it had to be pea or oat milk or nowt! The food was not that appealing and expensive to boot. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience for me and my party

We visited for the first time yesterday while in Skipton. The flat white coffees were excellent and very well prepared! Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and welcoming! Lovely fresh organic fruit and veg to buy too. Loved the home smoked butter beans with great sourdough from Baltzersens in Harrogate too. We shall definitely be returning

We walked in today (Sunday morning) over an hour after it had been open. Nobody else was in the cafe/shop. Greeted with a hello which was nice. Sat down for over 5 minutes waiting to be served whilst 3 staff were 'busy' in the kitchen area. One staff member walked past us, moved a few items in the shop and then went back to the kitchen area. We then walked out. No wonder it was empty and the two cafes opposite were both full.

Ordered tea,not told there was a choice of oatmilk or peamilk,but no dairy. And 'cheesecake' wasn't. Staff rude and inefficient

Entered cafe from street. Ordered 1 flapjack for myself and asked if they had any gluten free options as my wife is Coeliac. We were told that all cakes on the one plate were gluten free, there was quite a selection to choose from. We were again assured that they were definitely all gluten free, by this you would think that anyone serving food would be alerted to an intolerance or an allergy; feeling comfortable with this second reassurance we ordered 2 latte. Lovely tasting coffee, it was then that my wife overheard the waitress/proprietor mention to another customer that they didn’t use cow’s milk..! I then enquired what they used in place if cow’s milk and was informed that it was oat milk, totally unsuitable for my wife. When we told her of my wife’s predicament she was on the defensive straight away, stating that we should have read the menu, distancing herself from any responsibility at all, no apology, no realisation of the detrimental health impact. She knew we hadn’t read the menu as she watched us walk in and go straight to the counter. Eat or drink here at your own risk, with such a poor grasp of food allergies I would not have any confidence that there are no other cross contaminations, the woman’s response to us was contemptuous disregard. There are other Cafes in Skipton.

Stopped for a quick coffee and rest of the legswhilst walking around, great find. Coffee was strong and delicious Staff were lovely and helpful After finishing and wondering back towards car wished we had stayed for a bite to eat.

Popped in for lunch after a Saturday walk round Skipton market. We had a mushroom and pesto on toast and a smoky beans with avocado mash on toast. Both were very nice. A great way toy sit and watch the world go by for a while

Why que for poor and expensive coffee at costa or Starbucks, when you can enjoy great coffee at this independent coffee shop. Lovely atmosphere twinned with extremely pleasant staff what's not to love. The coffee and tea they sell are a lot nice than most coffee shops and have the bonus of selling specialty coffee. I'll definitely be back on my return to skipton.

Met friends for a coffee and cake. Been there about 40 minutes and were planning to leave anyway when the waitress appeared with the card machine unprompted. Felt uncomfortable and rude. Sorry Steep and Filter - not on.

Wow ! A great find Wonderful coffee and a lovely lunch Staff so welcoming and I loved the shop Great products to buy Would definitely return

Delicious breakfast. Clean friendly place. Menu very wholesome and nutritious. Fuelled us well for a day hiking. Will return even if just for coffee and the amazing cake selection. Also liked the zero waste support area of the shop.

This lovely bistrot tucked away from the main roads in the centre of Skipton was a surprise find on my brief visit during the Tango weekender just gone. Amazing, delicious food, coffee and cakes served with friendliness and an attitude that makes You feel safe! Good to share the Art of Cruelty-free Food with like minded people! Well done, guys, keep going. Highly recommend indeed to vegans and omnivores alike. Pictured: the current menu and my full vegan breakfast complete with a delicious minty vegan black pudding! No pictures of cakes as they didn't last too long on their plates!

Ordered a toasted teacake, and had the temerity to ask for butter ( which I wouldn’t have thought was unusual ? ) but alas ! only margarine ( which unfortunately I don’t like ) so didn’t bother.

Came here for lunch, me and my friend both ordered the vegan blue cheese, mushroom and spinach toastie. The cheese was inedible and had an overwhelmingly pungent taste. We are vegan and thus accustomed to eating vegan cheese but this was awful! When we informed the staff they were patronising and didn’t offer any replacement/money back which was just bad customer service. We left hungry and £10 lighter!

Visited here with two of my friends, we are all vegan and so this seemed like the perfect cafe as everything is plant based and it looked nice inside. Two of us ordered the mushroom toastie which had vegan 'blue cheese', mushrooms and spinach. Both of us were in agreement that the cheese tasted awful, it had a perfume taste and was inedible. Our third friend tried the cheese and agreed it did not taste right/tasted off. I told both of the staff members who informed me it was 'because its vegan cheese not dairy'. I told them we are all vegan and have eaten vegan cheese before but this did not taste right. Both members of staff tried to justify the taste saying it was the brand of cheese and it is supposed to have a perfume taste. We were not offered any alternative and so we left hungry as the toasties were inedible. Would not recommend, I was disappointed in the service and the fact we were not offered anything else.

I love the coffee at steep & filter it always tastes great and gives me no headaches like some other places do. The service is always good and all the staff extremely friendly and happy to give advice on the food or other products they sell. I am not a Vegan but have always been impressed with the cakes and understand it’s not for everyone but personally I love it. I always look at the eco friendly products and have been happy with all the products I have purchased and I love reading the ‘positive news’ magazine.

What a great vegetarian menu. A place that puts planet before profit and yet provides a satisfactory lunch experience. Basic but comfortable with nice atmosphere. Would go back again to try different items on the menu. Service pleasant and timely. Definitely chose well.

Just popped in for a coffee and can honestly say I've never had a coffee as good as they serve here.

The coffee is incredible and the staff are lovely. a lot of coffee houses make people with children feel unwanted but this place really was great. It is also dog-friendly too and though we only went in for coffee, the food looked incredible.

Stumbled upon this place whilst looking for a coffee shop on Skipton. Didn’t realise it was vegan until we went in. The food was amazing and the staff very friendly and welcoming. The coffee was superb as well. Well worth a visit.

as a meat eater i can take some persuading to eat vegan but this place was top notch. mashed pea and bean on toast and pink hummus on toast and some delicious teas from a lady who 'lives in a caravan in grassington' blending them! a place penciled in to certainly come again if we're in the area!

What an awesome find this place was! I had a look on Happy Cow for somewhere in Skipton to eat breakfast and it came up highly rated - I was not disappointed!

Delicious Flat White, tasty chocolate flap jack & chocolate and raspberry slice in an eco friendly store. No plastic, no chemicals, no worries.

My daughter & I decided to give this place a try on the morning of our departure from Skipton after completing the BHF Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge, rather than the coffee shop almost opposite that I had frequented on my previous trip to the town. It proved to be a very good choice as my flat white was perfectly prepared and presented as was my daughter’s specialty tea. The place also has some impressive eco credentials, making it doubly worth a visit.

This is my favourite place, the cafe is cute, the ethics are amazing and the food is incredible!!! The staff are also so kind and friendly and the music playlist is the best.

Always enjoy this space- relaxed and friendly Stopped off for breakfast and coffee Both arrived in good time, tasting good and presented well - good value. Definitely a place to drop by avoiding all the commercial establishments and dainty tea rooms

We go here fairly regularly and love it, but they have revamped their menu and added a dish called Hash Scramble - scrambled ackee, rosemary hashed potato and garlic tomatoes. You wouldn't know the scramble wasn't egg; just astonishing. Brilliantly tasty and healthy!! Add the usual friendly service and great teas/coffees and you have a winner!

Simple review - everything was wonderful. Food, staff, coffee especially, even the over all aesthetic and environment was great

Loved this little cafe, tucked down a side street, they take coffee seriously and offer an excellent selection of teas. A perfect place to stop.

My family and I have now been many times to Steep&Filter;, and we definitely think it has the best coffee in Skipton, having tried most of the main alternatives. The food is always really, really delicious, and very interesting - I don't think you'd find this kind of thing anywhere else in Skipton. Be aware that it is mostly (maybe all?) vegan, but if you just like tasty and filling food then you won't be disappointed. Given the quality of the food and drink the value for money is really good. The service is also consistently friendly and excellent. They also have a drinks card scheme, so if you go regularly you soon find you're getting free coffees. They often run evening events, which I understand are highly rated (we've never been able to get to one though). Couldn't recommend more.

I often head to Steep and filter on a Saturday or Sunday for a spot of lunch. Great food, the coffee is amazing and I love the ethical environment. The eco shop is stocked with fab products including sandwich wraps and eco washing products. Great place and worth a visit.

This wondrous little cafe is now one of the best things about Skipton. They have such a great ethic, and serve fabulous and unusual teas and good coffee. So friendly, and also the amazing vegan food just has to be tried if you haven't already - we went to one of their vegan supper nights last week and it was just awesome, with a chilled, friendly vibe. But don't wait for a supper club night - they serve great snacks, breakfast and lunch too! They are hoping to be a hub for certain recycled waste, and also sell quite a few "eco goods".

Best tasting coffee in Skipton (that's saying something given the choice). This ecologically minded cafe is full of thought provoking reading material, products and above all excellent tasty vegetarian food - not to mention wonderful cakes. The young people running this deserve all the plaudits they get.

Heard a lot of hype about this place, so visited today. Absolutely amazing! The staff are friendly, the food was delicious, drinks super tasty, dog friendly and the whole place just has a lovely atmosphere about it.

Many flat whites served are badly made small latte coffees but not here. Strong, velvety smooth and made with perfectly roasted beans, these baristas know their job. The music is calming and perfectly accompanies a properly made coffee. A place I love to visit.

Quirky, friendly, excellent flat white coffee. Good value, what more could you want. Situated on one of the side streets off the high street. Recommended

My daughter recommended this new eatery on Otley Road. She works in Skipton and had come across it.

This is a smashing little establishment with staff who obviously care about the quality of their coffee and the environment. The coffee is second to none and there’s a great vibe in the place - and friendly staff.

Nice clean and basic eatery for vegans and healthy eaters. Coffee served very quickly then waited a short while for carrot, apple & ginger soup, great for a cold day. Bread & spread were good & Daughters bacon roll was very good. Bright & clean with friendly servers who looked to be enjoying their jobs and served with a smile. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Skipton & want to eat healthy.

Very pleasant cafe - delicious healthy food - wonderful coffe too. The premises are bright, tastefully decorated and very clean. I received good, friendly service and will certainly return when in Skipton. Highly recommended but perhaps a little on the expensive side.

After visiting other places in skipton for vegan food we decided to look for somewhere new. We stumbled across Steep & filter, pleasantly surprised to find it was an all vegan cafe! The staff were all really friendly & helpful. I had the coronation chickpea sandwich which was super nice and my boyfriend had the mushrooms, cashew & pesto topped toast. We also couldn’t resist the tempting deserts & slices so decided to try the salted caramel shortbread & the cherry bakewell slice. Both were delicious. The coffee was very good, not many vegan places I have been to have made as good as a cappuccino as this place, both our latte and cappuccino were really creamy & strong. I love the fact they don’t offer soya milk as I much prefer oat milk anyway. The interior is super chilled, modern and works with the vibe they are going for. I will definitely be back again, I can’t believe we have only just found out about this place until today!

Only had a long black coffee as had lunch prior, but love the chilled, modern atmosphere inside. Prices reasonable and service was very friendly which goes a long way nowadays, a far cry from your chain coffee shops. The food menu looked good and the coffee was great quality too.

My first visit here with my wife but it won’t be our last. A great relaxing place for a good quality coffee and tea. The seasonal bakewell slice was very tasty too

We popped in to try this newcomer to Skipton's coffee and enjoyed our visit a lot. We're definitely going back!

great little new spot in skipton. Obviously know their coffees and is a little hideaway off the main drag. Menu very limited but is more of a coffee and tea shop than a cafe. Lovely friendly staff. Dog friendly

I stopped by here to waste some time till the bank opened. I had some toast topped with banana, sprinkled with cinnamon and drizzled with agave. It was delicious and I thought very reasonably priced. The cafe is dog-friendly too which is always good to know. I am already looking forward to my next visit.

We called in the cafe on a quick visit to Skipton as they welcomed dogs (he even got a treat) so he was happy.

Had a great selection of unusual teas and cake here. Green teas and Assam blend. But there was a good selection of coffees too!

My wife likes weak black coffee. I like strong white coffee. This coffee shop managed to satisfy both of us. The coffee was delicious. The staff were very friendly. And the cake that went with the coffees was delicious. Thoroughly recommended. We were on a visit to Skipton. Shame that we have not managed to find anything anywhere near as good in London where we live.

The Americano I had was out of this world. Honestly, a great coffee. Change nothing, you've got it spot on. The salted caramel brownie/flapjack, unfortunately wasn't very nice. There is room for improvement on the cakes. The engagement with staff serving was great.

As regular visitors to Skipton it was nice to try somewhere new for our mid morning coffee. We stumbled across Steep and Filter whilst wandering the side streets and alleys of Skipton and decided to give it a try. Its a lovely independent coffee shop, quirkily furnished that also serves up some traditional and also some slightly unusual meat free meals/snacks.

Really fabulous place to meet friends, great chilled atmosphere and one of the tastiest gluten free cakes I’ve tasted. The staff really care about providing top notch coffee and have loads of knowledge about the blends they offer.

Found this place on happy cow! I love the eco friendly feel. I had granola and hot chocolate, he had a long black and a ‘cheese’ and tomato toastie. I was torn with what cake to get, I had the bakewell slice recommended by the staff there. It was delicious! The prices were fair! Everything on the menu could be made vegan. Would definitely recommend it and would go back again.

Good to see a coffee shop caring about the environment in these days of excess. Everything is eco friendly and the coffee and food are excellent

Eco friendly and plant-based cafe. Excellent location; a stone's throw from Skipton High St and also handy for the "Rackhams Car park" for anyone visiting by car.

Steep and Filter is exactly to kind of independent cafe Skipton needed. From it's simple yet beautiful decor (special note for the mural on the wall) which transports me to Scandinavia, to the wonderful eclectic mix of music (my personal favourite is the mariachi playlist).

I popped in here on Saturday as I was in Skipton for the weekend. Firstly I support independent businesses especially cafes – all hail the independents!

Have been calling here since it opened for my coffee fix. Michael certainly knows his stuff about how a perfect coffee should be made.

I popped in to Steep & Filter on one of its first few days trading and was very impressed from start to finish.

Was visiting home for the weekend and met up with a friend (who’s become a regular here). The place looks really cool and was a nice touch to have some local art and a few bits and pieces to buy on the shelves. Enjoyed my coffee and blue cheese mushroom and spinach toastie over a catch up. Nice to see more independents popping up in Skipton - I’ll be back :)

I like to try new places so was pleased to pop in and give it a whirl.

Staff could do with some training as they forgot the water we ordered and the coffee we ordered . So we sat for sometime with nothing while our sandwich’s were made. These were very good. But we had to go back to the counter and ask again for water, still no coffee arrived. So we waited till we had finished our sandwich and went again to the counter to ask for our coffee. At this point we also asked for a piece of carrot cake, big mistake ! It was revolting. I took a bite, never tasted such a nasty cake. It was dry and tasted of soap, how my husband finished it I do not know, each bite was followed by another negative comment from him. The staff told us that they had not tasted the cake, I suggest they try everything they intend to serve to the public to make sure it’s edible and nice.

Steep and Filter a vegan and vegetarian cafe in Skipton, opened on the 27th February, but due to snow I had to delay my visit to the following week. The interior is modern and minimalist, with lots of wood and lovely stencilling on the walls and a good play list of songs, to chill out too.
