The Baytree in Calderdale

What an absolute gem of a place. Ticks all the boxes...dog friendly, beautiful decor, welcoming and homely feel, amazing cake and friendly staff. The fact this place is open until 8pm is also great. So many other cafes were closed......thank goodness really as we wouldn't have found this gorgeous place otherwise. Coffee is gorgeous and the cakes were not only proper cakes but absolutely gorgeous. Fresh and delicious. The staff were super friendly and loved the fact we had our dogs. As someone with Autism the whole place just felt so lovely and I can't wait to return. We weren't overly hungry which was slightly annoying as the menu looked fab. I'm not vegan but the options sounded amazing and there was plenty of choice. Can't wait to return. Thank you!

This establishment was amazing, the workers was extremely welcoming towards me and my girlfriend, we came here for our 1 year anniversary. Let’s just say they made it 10x better. Keep up the great work guys! Would definitely recommend and will recommend to all I know !

I was looking for an light-ish evening meal. I liked the look of the burgers here. The one I ordered was perfectly cooked and very flavoursome with nice salad and dips. I had a ginger beer with that. I was tempted by the Rhubarb Crumble but I didn’t want to over-eat. It’s a nice restaurant and I recommend it highly. I’ll go back to have a pudding (and another burger of course!) when I get the chance. Excellent.

Beautiful little cafe, excellent food, freshly cooked. The staff are very friendly. Definitely need to book as the table spaces soon go.

The thing about Hebden bridge is the choice of unique eating places. We were actually heading somewhere else and glanced at the menu of the baytree. Yes a small choice menu of hot foods which normally indicates great cooked food. What took our interest was the steak pie and the Vesuvius burger with a choose your own heat rating of 1-10. And also dog friendly :-) Our minds were made up. The place does prefer cash so I let my missus order my food whilst I went looking for an atm. She knows I like spice, so ordered me a Vesuvius 10 spice rated burger cooked medium rare, much to the surprise of the staff, and she ordered the steak pie. Both foods arrived and as I took my 1st bite in trepidation wondering what I was going to experience… and WOW it delivered on heat. I’ve seen many places advertise hot spicy burgers. None before have delivered on the spice. This one did… Full of flavour, fresh tasty juicy lovely and yes HEAT. I’d liken the heat to a touch spicier than madras in heat levels but the warmth was within and not a burning stupid tongue. They advertise the best burgers in town. For me this was. The pie came with their special gravy, and the missus certainly loved it. Great pastry and juicy filling with a gravy more resembling a stew than a typical gravy. Both dishes were lovely and yes we will visit here again. Dare I try a spice level 12… if the baytree will do me one then watch this space… Thanks

Positive :Staff friendly and pleasant. Negative - Had to wait over 70 minutes for our lunch. After 50 minutes a member of staff did apologise. Customers who came in after us ate and left before we got served. Vegan food bland and over priced , wish I had walked out after 50 mins !

It’s not often I write reviews but I feel this is warranted after the previous negative review, we were sat at the adjacent table to this couple yesterday and the staff member politely asked them to move to a table for 2 considering the place was packed and the only other free table was a table for 4 which they were sat at…bearing in mind it does say “please wait to be seated” the weather was horrendous and customers were piling in out of the rain, the couple did move to the table for 2 and then the man said “just get me a full English and a black coffee” the woman who he was with looked beyond embarrassed!!! He was arrogant & rude and I absolutely do not blame the staff member for saying I think it would be better if you got your breakfast somewhere else!! We have been here many times and the staff go over and above to help, I felt sorry for the woman who he was with and also the staff member who was overly polite….I would have said a lot worse !! The Bay Tree is an absolute must when visiting Hebden…from the friendly welcome, the music, 100% inclusive, safe space, dog friendly and the food is amazing 🤩, The breakfast and lunch menu has something for everyone!!! specials board, vegan, veggie & GF, and please don’t get me started on the home made cakes ❤️ My “go to” is always the graze board…..open visible kitchen, fresh coffee of every description, beers, wines, soft drinks and funky looking pink bubble stuff !!! Keep up the good work ladies….this place is a gem 💎 xxx

First visit to Hebden Bridge and we were so lucky to find this gem, delicious food, including vegan dishes which my teen daughters loved, and fabulous friendly service. We even got very helpful travel advice when I asked about an alternative route onwards and home again. So very fortunate to have found this lovely place.

Delicious food and lovely staff. Veggie and meat breakfasts both excellent. Many tempting cakes and tray bakes also on display. Can recommend!

I was out with family for breakfast and came across this lovely cafe. Very warm and welcoming atmosphere. Food was well presented and delicious. Menue was fantastic. Pricing was reasonable. Would recommend to anyone that was looking for a great place to eat

It was our first time at The Baytree. Quiet atmosphere, lovely helpful staff and very clean. We ordered the Filthy Pig and the Steak & Ale Pie. My pie was lovely and tasty but was let down by very small quantities of steak. The burger was perfect though but there was no salad or coleslaw as per some review pictures that we’ve seen and the fries were not seasoned. They were just plain like mine. It’s a shame.

Amazing visit !! Friendly staff ! AMAZING FOOD❤️- me and my partner came down for the day and we stumbled upon this heaven, we got the rose lemonade Brie wedges garlic bread, pitta and humous which was sent from the gods!! The mac n cheese meltdown burger which came with peri fries and salad and the filfthy pig which came at your preference of how the meat was cooked! All of these were demolished and scoffed!! So many food options aswell as sweet treats and desserts !! If you come down to Hebden Bridge this place is a MUST!! It was cozy, delightful and amazing for the price. LGBTQ+ friendly and we will definitely come back !!! Thankyou team for your amazing service and happy faces!! Keep doing what you’re doing!! A happy hotel manager :)

As a local, and wanting to support the new owners, we tried out their food early one Saturday evening. The burger was really juicy, with lots of great elements including fantastic a bread bun and the Plant Picnic - a vegan grazing platter- was really tasty. Great value and speedy Saturday night service. Fantastic coffee too.

Had 4 days in h.b.and the bay tree cafe was fantastic for breakfast. Brunch.and evening meal. Cant wait for next trip.owners and staff are so nice and make you feel at home.

Popped in for lunch as it was dog friendly. Had the steak pie, chips and peas. It was super tasty especially the gravy which was the best I’ve ever tasted. Large pot of tea which was a nice surprise. Coffee was good too. Staff friendly. I would definitely recommend.

Popped in today for breakfast. Service was excellent and the full English was one of the best I’ve ever had. Great sausages! The home made cakes also looked incredible! We will definitely be back!

Staff were lovely & friendly, wasn’t too impressed with the food, taken awhile to come out, chicken n stuffing sandwich was hardly any chicken in it, not worth £10 at all, was expecting chicken strips to come with kids meal not just chicken breast, children’s meal chips already came with salt on which I think should be an option to add on yourself instead of it being done for you. No baby changing facilities, had to change my baby on the cold hard floor in the bathroom.

Tasty and fresh breakfast, lovely friendly service, well decorated and clean restaurant, dog friendly and full of character

Cosy little place and 3 out of our 4 meals were fine. However, the Roast Chicken and Stuffing Sub at £9.95 contained mostly stuffing and hardly any chicken. Waitress said she would tell the chef but we received no apology and no recompense, which is unacceptable. In hindsight we should have refused to pay for the Sub. Instead we left feeling disappointed. For this reason we will not return or recommend. Plenty of other cafes etc around instead.

This cafe enticed us in on a very cold day, looking very nicely done out. The breakfasts and drinks looked stunningly presented when they arrived. However, the vegetarian sausages tasted a bit cheap. My grandsons, who love the sausages at Wetherspoons, refused to eat his. The fried eggs were undercooked and had chopped parsley sprinkled on top, which led one grandson to leave them both. When I went to the till to pay, I clearly stated where we were sitting. (There only 2 other customers present.) It was very dark and I couldn't see the bill, not having my reading glasses) I trusted what we had been charged and paid by Visa. Around 30 minutes after we had left, the owner, having chased us down in the middle of the busy market, claimed we had been under charged and that he was going to deduct the amount from the waitress' wages. We passed him an extra £20.00. Very humiliating and rather ruined our experience of the wonderful Hebden Bridge.

Amazing food - the biggest salads and teapots I've ever seen! Staff could not have been more helpful with us having two small kids and a dog. Way better value for money compared to somewhere like the White Lion (which we had left earlier having looked at the menu) Won't hesitate to come back next time we visit Hebden Bridge.

Went here for lunch with my partner, he had the roast chicken melt and i had the graze board. One of the nicest foods we’ve ever had, he keeps telling me how he’s craving the chicken melt and how we need to go back every weekend for it! The staff were excellent, so friendly and we had a great laugh with the owners. Would definitely go back again, such a great experience and definitely worthy of all the 5 star reviews!

I ordered the chicken and chorizo melt and it was delicious! The service is fast and efficient and the food came quickly despite it being busy. Will definitely be coming again!

Lovely food, amazing service. Great selection of food and specials. Will definitely be coming back!

Had high hopes based on reviews and local feel. However those hopes were quashed pretty quickly. Alarm bells rang when “ice cream milkshake” came out in liquid form, then sandwiches followed more or less 5 mins after ordering. The ciabatta was like a partially baked bread that hasn’t had the second baking, raw texture and incredibly chewy. Spicy nduja mayo had no flavour let alone spice, and the rest of the fillings were equally bland. It’s rare I feel so disappointed with food, but this really felt like it had zero effort or thought out into it, while costing more than many other better restaurants nearby. Still shocked by the high rating, sorry - but I won’t go back again.

My god, put some food on the plates, and don't expect people to hack their way through the bread served with the chicken and chorizo melt. Unable to chew and given a full refund for this poor excuse for a sandwich. It was supposed to be a melt, but it must have melted away. It didn't soften the bread at all. They were very curtious and only let down by the food. A great setting but not matched by poor quality and quantity. This is an example of size-flation. Dearer food and smaller portions.

We stumbled upon this cafe on a busy saturday to escape the rain. The cafe is very welcoming and staff attentive and friendly, whilst being super efficient. We had a dog with us, but the stone floor and plentiful tables made this an easy situation. Mine was the only dog. They even had doggy treats to buy. The sandwhiches, salads, and flatbreads are all top-quality ingredients. I noticed the cakes looked amazing, but I am dieting! My latte was hot and in a generous cup. They got everything right, and we will definitely return

Lovely little spot in the centre. Been a couple of times now at lunch and really enjoyed it. Hard working staff delivering great service and quality and quantity of food excellent - an exhaustive menu. Had sandwiches and fries and both hit the spot. Highly recommended and support local businesses 👍

Whilst visiting Hendon Bridge today, came across this wonderful little place and I can not recommend it highly enough. From the moment we entered we were made to feel welcome by the friendly staff and lovely surroundings. The food was amazing and cooked to perfection. Another bonus is the place is dog friendly. We will definitely be returning when visiting the area again.

Very cute place. Lovely service and coffee . Had the breakfast ciabatta which was delicious. Not cheap at £6.50 but very tasty. They also have a menu for dogs 🤣

We’re frequent visitors to Hebden Bridge but today was our first visit to this amazing little cafe. The choice on the menu was plentiful but the specials board made the decision of what to eat even harder! The food was delicious, the owner very helpful and friendly, the service was fast, cafe and toilets very clean! So all in all a 5 star cafe. This will now be our regular place to eat in Hebden.

Three of us ate here today for lunch. We had the chilli chicken burger meal. It was very good and we all ate up. Definitely recommend. It was late Monday morning so probably a quieter period but service was quick and good. The only downside is the table was wobbly and tipped if you put any weight on it.

First time visiting Hebden Bridge today and ate in here for lunch. We ordered the chicken and stuffing with gravy baguette and a mozzarella flatbread, with a strawberry milkshake and coffee, really lovely food. Definitely worth a visit.

From the moment we walked in the door, we felt at ease and very welcome. The food was incredibly tasty & well presented, and the coffee was superb too. Staff were attentive and very welcoming. Would definitely visit again. Also doggy friendly too 🐕

Came to The Baytree for breakfast and the staff were so warm and welcoming and found us a table straight away. The service was quick and the food was delicious too, portions were plentiful and will set you up for a good day for sure....

Really enjoyed our late lunch of falafel salad, Cajun chicken flatbread, coco loco smoothie. The smoothie was perfectly balanced (frozen pack). Friendly staff

Large menu of snacks and burgers, all accompanied by fresh salad and homemade coleslaw. Great value too. The cakes look delicious but I was too full to try one. Good choice of veggie, vegan and gluten free.

Absolutely fabulous food, fresh and very tasty. They certainly don't scrimp on anything and we will definitely return. Only mistake I made was that I didnt take pictures.

Lovely and cosy little find with great food. Didn’t know what to expect and the food was beyond brilliant, so tasty and different to usual cafes. Thank you!

An excellent meal for four with a wide range of food presented well. Tasty meal in an interesting restaurant. Service was good and the staff were friendly.

Pros: Helpful staff/owner, tasty ham n cheese melts, nice setting, quick service and food. Cons: two of our party had salads (1 chicken and 1 roasted vegetable). They were very disappointing for 9.50. Basically no dressing at all (so asked for oil), a very small...

Really nice wee cafe. Friendly staff. Excellent breakfast, very well cooked. Visited twice when we were on holiday. Will visit again when we return to Hebden Bridge.

Good food, friendly staff. Sat inside. Nice decor. Clean downstairs toilets. Visible kitchen area. Dogs welcome. Meal for two £20. Only one negative, had lemon cake, it was buttercream :-( sickly sweet, my teeth are still tingling from the sugar overload. The feta cheese sandwiches...
