The Coffee House in Craven

Stopped in Skipton for a quick coffee and a bite. On the outskirts of town by the car park. Coffee suppliers next door. Perfect coffee. Delicious cakes and perfect toasted fruit cake with lashings of butter. Why go further? 🇬🇧🇳🇿

Located slightly away from the hustle and bustle of the high street, the Coffee House has a great chilled out feel whether you choose to sit indoors or in the beautiful 'secret garden'. The menu is simple but delicious (and very reasonably priced too). The coffee (supplied by the business next door) is first class. If you strive to support the independents, then this is the perfect place for you.

The staff are delightful and welcoming and the place is dog friendly - just a lovely little cafe for a good breakfast, we were so pleased to find it. Nice handy parking too.

An perfect place for a friend's group catch up! Very nice place lovely staff. Delicious coffee with some very sweet treats!

Called today for a coffee and toasted tea cakes before we went on a canal boat cruise ,the staff were great and a lovely place to sit and chill

It was a nice warm sunny afternoon. We had completed an excellent walk and called in for a coffee. We sat outside. Coffees very good.

Met a friend here for lunch and general catch-up. It was the perfect venue as it was relaxed, friendly, and had a good ambience. Busy for a Monday too! The service was efficient and with a smile and a chat, which, added to great coffee and food made for a really good experience. We will return!

Lovely find in Skipton. Very reasonably priced; great 'proper' coffee, breakfast bap and warm, welcoming friendly service. Will definitely return.

My partner and I had arranged with friends to meet in Skipton and catch up with a refreshment and a slice of cake each. The atmosphere was lovely and tranquil for a Saturday and we sat at a table in the corner. The service was good and after you have paid for your order, the waitress brings your food and drink to the table. My partner and I had the Easter chocolate cake and it was amazing. I haven't had a quality cake for a long time or since. The cake was very scrumptious and delicious, not dry and not too much cream, just right. We are thinking of coming back here on the strength of the cakes alone.

Having been disappointed at the previous café we decided to try here, as it looked like it was a bigger cafe and might be more accommodating. As we entered, we were greeted with "The kitchen's closed today, we only have drinks and cakes." There seemed to be a recurring theme in the cafés of Skipton. Two milkshakes later,we left the deceptively small café and Skipton to stew in their own lack of foodie amenities.

We visited Skipton for the first time and spotted this coffee house as we parked up. We decided to go in for coffee and found a hidden gem. Delightful little place, very friendly, warm, great selection of coffee, tea, cakes and snacks. It was so good we called in again on our way back to the car for a drink and bite to eat. The next time we go to Skipton we will definitely go here again.

Part of a trip out. Cappuccino and pistachio cake. Very tasty. Great service and very friendly. Lovely ambiance so pleased we stopped

Not the most scenic spot between the loos and the carpark , but very nice inside and a garden with some tables. It has a vast array of leaf teas and specialty coffees which are made properly . The coffee in-particular was lovely. Good range of cakes including a shelf of gluten-free giving an unexpected choice to the coeliac .

Wandered into the Coffee House this afternoon & ordered coffee & cake. As it was sunny & warm we decided to sit at one of the tables outside the cafe. Service was quick & delivered with friendly chat & smiles. Our mocha coffees were spot on & my slice of raspberry & white chocolate cake was ever so scrumptious. Such a delightful dining room inside too ~ in all a delightful café that couldn’t be faulted.

Great dog friendly cafe with outdoor seating area. Good hot chocolate here and the best flapjack I’ve ever had. Would return just for that😀.

Great little coffee shop and considering the tourist trap area of the canal good prices Staff were amazing with the kids and so friendly to chat Most importantly the coffee was superb highly Recommend

Called for refreshments before we started our shopping in Skipton. It's nice to support independent businesses and you get a much friendlier experience. Our coffee was excellent and I chose a large cinamen swirl to go with it which was really fresh and delicious. Lovely seating outside enhanced our break. Would highly recommend.

Called in for their good coffee before and this time stayed for lunch. Good well priced food and, as a.ways, good coffee. Staff were particularly tolerant of our lively grandson so thank you for that!

Delicious coffee.. Always my coffee shop of choice when on Skipton. Server obliged me with cream....thus is a very rare thing. Delicious ginger cake too and was able to sit outside in little courtyard

We visited Skipton for a day out to take in the street market. Thank goodness we found this coffee shop close to the carpark. This served the best Americano we have tasted in a very long time with a delicious slice of cake. It was...

We visited in August and really enjoyed our food and coffee, Staff friendly, food freshly made and the coffee was lovely. We passed a pleasant 30 minutes in the courtyard with our lunch.

Called in after visiting the artisan market by the canal. Not only do the serve very good coffee but the aroma inside is worth visiting for.

Lovely coffee, and I’m a fussy so and so when it comes to mine. Great service too despite being busy. Well done to all!!!!!!!

Called in whilst having stroll around skipton. Outdoor seating area is quaint and dog friendly. Ordered hot chocolate which was delicious. Has vast array of coffees and teas. Good selection of sandwiches and cakes. Staff were friendly and helpful

Super coffee served here, and made extremely well too. A tea and a fruit smoothie were very good too. We didn't eat but the cakes looked excellent. Outside seating available.

This is a lovely little coffee shop with a great atmosphere and pleasant (not too loud) music playing. Friendly staff and nice decor. The coffee is delicious and always consistent. We have eaten here, but go primarily for the coffee. We aren't really local, but...

Really cute cafe with outdoor courtyard perfect for warmer days. Loved the coffee, warm welcome and the fact it was tucked away so not really busy. Will be back!

Lovely peaceful atmosphere, great coffee & toastier & cake. Really welcoming. What a find. I’ll be back.

What a great environment, sort of 1950s style and open. Staff were very friendly and there was good service for sure. Coffee was very good but I wouldn’t rave about it. The baguette and pate were tasty as well. Good place to come to relax and enjoy coffee but not the best for food.

Good coffee but DO NOT order the chicken and bacon with lemon and black pepper mayo baguette, Minced chicken and bacon with no flavour of lemon or black pepper and extremely salty, The most unpleasant thing I have eaten in a very long time,

What a great vintage venue with super relaxing decor and old style feel. Had hot drinks here and great service, including a hot chocolate with cream and marshmellows. Just near the car park..you would not think it would be so unusual and welcoming. In Skipton? You have to try it!

Arrived in Skipton, parked the car and saw the Coffee House. Nice decor and ambiance so ordered currant teacakes, pot of tea and a small Americano. Total price less than £7. Friendly staff topped off our visit. We will be back

Good coffee and cakes, friendly people and lovely atmosphere! A calm oasis but handy for town as well.

Called in after challenging bike ride as car parked in adjacent car park. Hot day but pleasantly cool inside. Delightful toasted bagel with goats cheese and pine nuts with refreshing and different salad. Latte pretty good as well. Very nice end to a bike trip and would definitely go again. If there are 7 better cafes in Skipton must be a gastronomic hot spot.

We came here to purchase some of the lovely peppermint tea that we had tried in another cafe. We stayed and had some really nice coffee and shared a slice of Bake well slice, neither was disappointing. The setting felt like the French coffee shops in old movies. It was a quaint and lovely atmosphere.

A treat...fabulous coffee in very chilled, friendly surroundings...had a croquet which was delicious...beats the coffee chains hands down

I fully recommend this lovely coffee shop. I visited on a recent wet day and enjoyed a steaming hot Americano which I enjoyed whilst sitting on a comfy sofa and catching up with the daily newspaper provided. There was a good atmosphere and the staff were very welcoming. Would definitely revisit when in the area.

Found this coffee shop by chance. Very welcome on a rainy morning. Great authentic coffees. Good service and a nice ambiance. Both tourists and locals enjoying the place in harmony. Will definitely come here again next time.

We had expected this gem to be one of those 'all style, no substance' places typical of tourist towns. Fortunately for us, the lovely, cosy decor was equalled by the fantastic coffee and service. We each had a decently strong large flat white, I had a plain buttered bagel and the hubby a toasted teacake (real butter!).

We called for coffee and bacon cobs and they were delicious. The staff were very friendly and they were very busy we had to wait for a seat

Loved it here, the coffee was superb and I will definitely be back to try the food which looked and smelt great too!

Delicious hot chocolate with all the trimmings and toasted tea cakes dripping with butter, what more could you ask for ! Quick friendly service and great value for money ☕️🍰

This is a real coffee house with so much choice and staff friendly. The atmosphere was very laid back and obviously a popular place.

Quaint cafe with tasty sandwiches and excellent coffee. Service was efficient. Large variety of specials.

Arriving in Skipton at lunchtime on a rainy Saturday morning we were relieved to find this small, quaint coffee house right next to the car park and with a table available. Coffee and baguettes all round; 3 chicken and bacon with a lemon mayonnaise and one prawn and avocado. The drinks arrived first - I can recommend the milkshake (banana) and then the baguettes, nicely presented, fresh and delicious. Sadly didn't have room to sample any of the homemade cakes and pastries but hopefully we will return. The baguettes are not cheap at £5.25 for the chicken ones and 50p extra for the prawn but worth the treat.

I had a bacon butty and my wife had a toasted tea cake. The staff seem a little nervous at times. But the coffee is really very good. This was not my 1st visit for coffee. It is for the coffee that I will return.

As a local resident, I'm so glad I found this delightful spot near to the centre of town but just far enough away from the crowds.

After a walk around the town we called in for a drink. Very nice set up with good choice of coffee`s. Pleasant staff who kept the place tidy after clearing empty tables.

Stopped here quite by chance and had delicious sandwiches and coffee. The bread is as outrageously good as the coffee, we had baguettes which were herby and I suspect home made. Served with a fresh salad and not overly massive but actually enough because they were a taste sensation ;0) I had smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers and red onion which is on the bagel menu but they were happy to swap for me. Very nicely done out inside, lots of character, but we sat outside in the courtyard with our dog. Will definitely return to try a breakfast, thank you.

Found this quite by chance when we parked nearby. Usually go to Bean Loved which is also good but think we'll go back here, at least for coffee and cake (haven't tried food). Nice relaxed ambience, excellent coffee, handy enough location if you know about it.

The sign outside says it all - Outrageously Good Coffee. Always a bit skeptical about 'outrageous' claims for cafes and restaurants, but the sign does not tell a lie at this cafe. Skipton has coffee shops in abundance, but this is one of the best. I have not tried the food yet, but it also looks good.

A friendly atmosphere, plenty of choice and nicely served and presented. I messed around with the breakfast choice and they were happy to oblige. The toast is proper bread, good doorstops! No complaints.

What a refreshing change. A proper café with a good choice of coffee beans and loose leaf teas.

Real coffee for coffee conusears . Authentic ecleptic atmophere. Food fresh and home made . Not overpriced. How a coffee cafe shop should be.

Dropped in here as I was desperate for coffee after a long drive from leeds, expecting the usual over priced coffee common to most hipster places. Quite the opposite in fact, less than £2 for a large cup of excellent coffee and looking at the menu that seems to be the case with food as well. Atmosphere very relaxed, decor makes the place feel warm even on the coldest days, music excellent, quiet and unobtrusive mix of classic blues tracks. Nice touch having a selection of books for customers to read. Free wi-fi was great, fast and reliable. Shame this is 30 miles from my house, considering buying a place in Skipton just so I can visit again!

Very welcoming. Food was excellent- portions were generous and tasty. So good we visited in morning and afternoon.

Brilliant range of coffees and teas. Superb freshly made snacks, and cakes as good as Mum's. Service and quality of highest order. So impressed we returned the next day. Competitive arena for coffee shops. Really hope this one thrives.

Being local, we often visit Skipton and this is one of our favourite haunts. Coffee is excellent with (as you might expect) a good selection of specialist types plus a weekly 'special choice'. There is a small outside area but most people choose to sit indoors.

This place is a great place to relax in . I am a tea drinker and the tea here is the best in town . My husband the coffee drinker really rates the coffee . Would recommend this cafe to anyone .

Of all the cafes I've tried in Skipton this is definitely the best. Lots to choose from on the menu and the coffee and service are excellent. Pleasant outside seating area.

Historic building located by Coach Street car park (pay and display, lots of space, ideally located for the canal basin - boat trips start just over the bridge).
