The Gourmet in Leeds

We came here for the first time having normally gone to other breakfast spots in the area and I wish we had visited sooner. This cafe had great food and best value for money in weatherby. The loose leaf tea was great and the staff were all great

We went on a Saturday so we were expecting it to be busy but we got a table straight away. We were given the menus and ordered some drinks. When it came to ordering our food I asked the waitress what the soup of the day was as it did say on the menu to ask them. She did not know but went to find out and I noticed she read a blackboard on the wall. She came back and said 'Butternut' so I guessed that was not the full description so went to read it for myself and it was curried butternut squash & sweet potato. There were other tasty sounding dishes on the specials board so maybe the staff could point it out to customers, I know we have eyes but I did not see it before we were going to order food. I ordered the soup and the others both ordered full english. The soup was delicious and came with nice bread and I would happily have it again. The full english however were a let down as they did not seem to be as good a quality as previously especially the sausage seemed to be very cheap so definitely not worth the price. We did not complain when we were there as there was nothing that could be done about the quality of the english breakfast items. The staff were all great.

I had the club sandwich and my father had the jacket potato with prawns in a Marie sauce. We both thoroughly enjoyed what we had. The club sandwich was fantastic. If anyone from the Gourmet reads this review, please pass on my regards to the person who made it up. I particularly liked the mayo dressing 👍

This is a good cafe with a good, keenly-priced menu. We visited on a hot and very busy Sunday with many folk sitting outside. The friendly staff were working exceptionally hard. We really enjoyed our salad and sandwich when they came. But--there was a wait of 35 minutes, really a bit long for a passing lunch. I did mention this both to ?the proprietor and our charming student server but I am hoping that other restauranteurs hear my message. If there is a delay like this it is just so much better all round to say when seating the customer 'I am afraid there is a long wait for food at the moment'. That--in the useful modern management phrase- 'manages expectations'. The customer has a choice to switch to 'chill' mode or to say 'I am sorry--I think we will look elsewhere' I wish your business every success.

This was a great breakfast with super service. Excellent poached eggs and bacon served on the nicest granary toast. Absolutely perfect breakfast. Great location and plenty of space inside and out. Would certainly recommend!

This is my favourite spot for lunch in Wetherby - all the staff are very warm and welcoming. The food is fresh, delicious and the portions generous. I take my Mum whenever I visit her and she's a bit doddery now - the team make her feel so happy and are so accommodating to her requests - I can't thank them enough - a fantastic place to visit

My wife and I have been regular customers since lockdown ended. Unfortunately today (monday) we ordered an egg mayo and a prawn sandwich in granary bread. There was insufficient filling in both and a salad with no dressing and whole lettuce leaves which was so uninviting. The biggest issue though was that the bread was stale, can only assume that it was Fridays delivery. In all £15 for the 2 stale offerings was disappointing and so unfortunately we will not be returning.

Very friendly staff and quality food. Would recommend rather than going to a big chain. Keep it local

5 of us went for lunch today. It was not our first visit. We have been many times and had some good food. Sadly, today was poor. It was busy as usual and we made allowance for that as the order of 4 lattes resulted in the delivery of only 2. We gave them a reminder and eventually the remaining 2 arrived. The coffees were fine. It took almost an hour for the food to arrive and between us we had 4 poached eggs and one fried. 1 of the poached eggs was overcooked and the other 3 and the fried egg were so overcooked that the yolks were solid. We brought it to their attention and, to be fair, they offered to do them again. However, because the delay in the food being served meant we could not wait for that so we were left with no alternative to eat what we had. We made our complaint clear to the manager when paying. He said because we had eaten it and declined replacements the reduction would be small. I explained that because the food had taken so long to arrive we had no time to wait for it to be re-done, but he was entirely dismissive. The reduction was minimal. Sadly, after many visits we will not be returning. Very poor customer service.

Called in for first time recently, cafe was very busy but managed to get a table with grandkids. They were given a menu with pictures for colouring in, very handy. They had great choices with a drink included and were very pleased. Our food also excellent and reasonably priced. Just one thing the large flat whites were a bit weak and could have done with an extra shot of coffee. They were more like a latte but very good value at £3. Maybe charge a little more for a stronger one?

Wanted to pop out for a quick lunch from work. Ended up being well over an hour. We waited 30+ minutes for a sandwich and panini. Not even a proper panini. They were not worth the wait. The 'side salad' was poor. The bottle of coke was warm. There is one chef in the kitchen who clearly can not handle the amount of table they set out/seat.

We are visiting the area namely Scott's are in sicklinhall but arrived earlier than expected so parked up in wetherby to have a perusal came across this place in the sun looked nice decided to sit and have a coffee good quick service from polite young lady coffee came minutes later I had Caramel latte my wife had weak latte both were perfect very enjoyable experience definitely come again next time we come up to West Yorkshire good job guys

Stopped off at Wetherby on our way to Northumberland. Found the Gourmet easily from the main car park and ordered breakfast. Beautifully cooked, perfect toast and we were really impressed with the friendly, efficient staff. Can highly recommend.

Food freshly prepared and beautifully presented. Latte coffee piping hot and very good. Staff all friendly and welcoming. Situated right in the centre of Wetherby although slightly tucked away. I was really pleased with my experiences (twice) of The Gourmet

07/05/22 what has happened to the service, we have been coming here for years, had very long wait to be even seen, we then asked for 2 large flat whites,,she didn't right it down, then brought small, and don't get me started about the toasted teacake with not enough butter for a quarter of the teacake, I would say the girl who served us clearly did not want to be there, this used to be a great cafe, but clearly something has happened, as Cyclists spread the word about good cafes to visits, I will not be recommending this one, next visit will be the one next door.

My husband and I decided to try The Gourmet as we liked the look of the breakfast menu, as a rare treat we both ordered a large cappuccino and a breakfast sandwich each, the service was quick and friendly and I liked the way the...

Nice clean cafe, friendly staff, good coffee/tea. Food was nice but took about 40 mins to get a toasty and a teacake. Good job we weren't on a bus trip.

Such a shame they can’t bring cutlery before bringing out hot food! When mentioned twice was told we are busy!! Not an excuse and not pleasant attitude!

We visited this cafe yesterday and ordered two coffees and a couple of scones. The coffees arrived after half an hour and then after another 15 minutes the scones arrived. Food was ok. There doesn’t seem to be any system in place for when it’s...

Quite strange really because just like a recent post we knew that North Street Deli was closed on a Monday and so a great opportunity to try a new place and Gourmet did not disappoint. The staff were ever so polite, chatty and helpful. Service...

I met up with friends I haven't seen in over 2 years, so decided to take them to my favourite place in Wetherby. We were not disappointed. The staff here are so friendly and helpful. We took the recommendation from a fellow diner to try...

So because North Street Deli is closed we decided to try the gourmet for breakfast. Expensive menu I thought but then it's got to be good we thought. Full Englidh for me and bacon egg and chips for my wife. Cold sausage. Cold tomatoe,cold mushroom...

Visited last Sunday morning with a large group and despite being busy we got prompt friendly service, food arrived quickly with good portions, hot and tasty. Have been before and will definitely go again.

A large group of us visited today, the staff were most helpful in being additional chairs, rearranging tables etc. Orders were taken promptly and food/drinks arrived in good time - the food was the usual high standard. This cafe never disappoints.

We visited today for coffee and lunch but were very disappointed. We waited the best part of an hour for a croque monsieur and chicken panini however they were busy and I understand many places have staff problems. The quality of the food was poor....

I visited this cafe on Sunday morning ordered an all day breakfast and Jacket Potato. Staff very friendly and said there would only be a 20 minute wait but our food arrived a hour after ordering.

Disappointed in quality of service today as pre-Covid visits were always good. Visited as part of a group of 5 of us and after an hour's wait only two of us had received our order. At this point we had to leave - waiting staff...

An early lunch here today. Jacket potato with prawns, other half had a breakfast. All really fresh and tasty and service was quick considering how full and busy it was. Lady who looked after us was great. Really friendly.

Had lovely breakfasts here my husband Full English and had eggs Benedict very enjoyable and my husband said the best cappuccino he had had in a long time

Wow what a nice place to have breakfast. Super scrambled egg and bacon on toast plus croissants and jam. Great Coffees. Lovely staff. Had to rush for bus so got a take out cup as well. Nice Service well done 👍

We were visiting the area for a staycation and saw the lovely outside seating area of The Gourmet which has taken over an entire street - feeling Mediterranean, we thought we'd stop by for a bit of lunch.We took a table and were greeted by a friendly male waiter who took our orders. I chose a pot of tea, Caesar salad and my partner a mocha and veggie breakfast. While waiting, we noted how politely the waiter dealt with a number of pretty rude elderly customers, so props to him for having the patience to take those on.The teapot and cup/saucer combo was a little old fashioned for a cafe that looks as stylish as The Gourmet which is a shame, but that's a small gripe.My Caesar salad however, was such a stingy portion for the price. I could tell the ingredients were of good quality but for over £8, I was expecting a bowl lined with crisp leaves, bacon, anchovies and chicken. Instead it was presented on a flat plate with what must have amounted to around 40 pence worth of salad leaves - a real shame in my opinion. It was tasty, but there was not enough of it at all, especially for the price.My partner's veggie breakfast was described as tasty, but he was surprised to see no veggie sausage on the menu - nevertheless, he polished it off.Overall, it was lovely to sit in such a sun-baked spot for an hour or so, just a shame my salad didn't really live up to expectations.

We had morning coffee and due to the impression given followed it up with lunch a bit later.The staff are an absolute delight, nothing was too much trouble and any requests made by all us old fogies was dealt with superbly.It was blisteringly hot and they went out of their way to supply iced water and keep us in the shade if we wanted to be,A very enjoyable experience.The food was good too, and real tea with leaves.

Sat outside on sunny Saturday afternoon, ordered tuna and cheese panini and a pot of tea, my husband had cheese toasty and coffee. Freshly made to order with a little side salad on the plate, perfect size for lunch time. Served by a really polite and helpful young man. This cafe is situated in the heart of Wetherby town centre down a quiet pedestrian only side street, surrounded by beautiful flower displays.Would recommend and will return upon our next visit to my child hood town.

Great locally sourced products making a delicious breakfast. The hand cut toast is to die for. I have been here a few times and always had a great meal & friendly service.

We visited The Gourmet Cafe today and would highly recommend! The food and service were excellent! Thd staff were all so friendly and it was so busy but they still managed to give fab service! The breakfast was the best we've had in long time! Can't wait to go back!

I am so happy to be out and about again after my year of isolation!! I headed straight for my favourite cafe and sat outside in the rare British sunshine! I was greeted warmly by the same staff as before and received my order promptly, all served by the nicest young man. I am happy to say that all the food was as good as before, the portions as generous. I tried the jacket potato with chilli, and it was delicious. I would love to know the secret of their coleslaw!!

Went to this very nice establishment expecting a nice experience. We ordered, full breakfast with hot chocolate, one bacon bun with diet coke and Eggs Royal with Earl Grey tea. All items arrived in good time, but, Eggs Royal arrived on a stone cold plate, the eggs were over-cooked and only lukewarm and the muffin was cold. Only needed to take one fork-full and I returned the food to the waitress. I have to be fair here, she did offer to replace the food, and offer I refused. I just ate the toast that came with the breakfast. As my friends were finishing their meals (which were fine), a waitress arrived with a replacement Eggs Royal. Again, I refused this as I would have been eating on my own whilst my friends looked on. We asked for the bill and it arrived and when we asked if the Eggs Royal had been deducted, we were met with a curt "yes they have". We paid the bill, but my friend actually looked at the bill and there were items on the bill that were not ours, and the Eggs Royal were still being charged for. We queried this and the waitress admitted that the additional items were from a previous customer. She recalculated and refunded the overcharge in cash. I would suggest to the establishment that hot food most definitely needs to be served on a hot plate. That is basic catering and having been a silver service steward in the MN, I know how important it is. Unfortunately, we will not be making a return visit to The Gourmet.

Comemos en el Gourmet al menos una vez a la semana. Lo más importante es que la comida es excelente, el servicio es excelente y los precios se ajustan bien a los de cualquier otro establecimiento de este tipo en Wetherby.Se está operando un sistema muy seguro para que todos los clientes se sientan seguros y, como parecen tener una clientela bastante grande de una generación anterior, esto es muy bueno.También me gustaría mencionar a John, quien hará que todos se sientan bienvenidos,Mi consejo, dalo. un intento.

Siempre me ha gustado este café, pero tengo que admitir que estaba nervioso al volver después del cierre. Sin embargo, los procedimientos que vi en su lugar me relajaron de inmediato.El servicio fue maravilloso de una señora encantadora que se aseguró de que todo estuviera completamente limpio antes de que me sentara. Mi nombre y número fueron tomados y me hicieron sentir muy bienvenido.La comida era, como siempre, deliciosa.Bien hecho todo en el gourmet en estos tiempos difíciles.

Este es un lugar pequeño y agradable en una ubicación agradable. Ofrece una buena variedad de comida pero el servicio lo decepciona. Quizás la situación actual jugó un papel, pero no fuimos los únicos que obtuvimos el pedido correcto y el servicio fue bastante lento.

Aunque un poco preocupados por salir a comer, decidimos almorzar aquí el primer día después de la eliminación del bloqueo.Nuestros datos de contacto se registraron a la llegada para cualquier futura referencia de Covid - 19. Las mesas estaban aisladas entre sí y sus posiciones marcadas en el suelo para asegurar que permanecieran allí.La comida y el servicio fueron excelentes.El restaurante estaba ultra limpio y los procedimientos de limpieza para cuando los clientes se iban eran impresionantes.Los baños estaban impecables y el personal feliz y atento.Muy recomendable

Comida encantadora pero decepcionado por el servicio. Se sentó, esperó y esperó: entró otra pareja y se les ofrecieron menús y se les tomó su orden. Pedimos menús y luego tuve que preguntarle a una camarera si podía tomar nuestro pedido. Tres chicas detrás del mostrador, dos comiendo papas fritas y la otra un plátano mientras preparan nuestro queso con tostadas. ¡En ningún momento se lavó las manos después de comer! ! La mesa de al lado tenía que pedir dos veces un café con leche. Es una pena que la deliciosa comida sea decepcionada por las camareras antihigiénicas y el mal servicio.

A regular visit for brunch. Never disappointed. The food is excellent and the staff and service courteous.

Visited here yesterday when visiting Wetherby for the first time and it was nice. Food was lovely and nice little cafe, my only grumble really was we asked for a few things a couple of times with one of the waitresses and she clearly forgot each time. So we had to keep asking and eventually asked someone else who sorted it, not sure why it was forgotten as it wasn’t particularly busy.

Repeat visit to the Gourmet in Wetherby and it won't be the last. Once again an excellent full english breakfast, well prepared and efficiently delivered. All capped of with a reasonable price and friendly staff

I live in a nearby village and have lunched in this cafe for the past 3 years at least a dozen times and can honestly say its very average food with high prices and it's not justified.Please do look at other cafe's in the area ie. the deli at Collingham which i feel offer better quality food at the same prices or North Street Cafe that offers the better quality for greater value.

Went on a busy market day , for lunch, the team of young very pleasant staff coped admirably ! Food okay , soup a bit bland but with a nice chunk of whole meal bread and fresh salty butter . Good pot of tea , made with loose leaf tea so quite strong and had to ask for extra hot water . Would definitely go again specially if on my own!

It's a cafe - maybe trying to be a bit too pretentious by serving leaf tea in pots and having to use strainers (messy)? When we were there we felt quite young at late 60's as most of the clientele looked well over 70-75. So evidently not the hippest place in town! Food is ok and not too badly priced - good menu. 2 seating areas indoors and a few partially covered tables outside.

We stopped of here on our way to Scotland. Went into this cafe for coffee, we had to sit outside as we had a dog with us. We placed our order, 3 coffee's and a milk shake after a fairly long wait it started to rain so we moved up to get under the awning needing to shuffle to tables and chairs to keep dry. Eventually the 2 of the coffee's turn up and the waitress tried to serve them over our heads as she obviously didn't want to walk round the table to serve them more easily as she would have to walk out a bit into the rain. I turned to try to help make it easier for her and I took the first coffee from her and turned to take the next one and she seemed to tip the tray towards me. I tried to save it but the tilt of the tray ended up tipping the coffee all over me. She then stood staring, no apology or any attempt to help me. One of the other waitress arrive and took me inside and gave me a gel to cover the burnt area. I then went back outside .... still no apology and another waitress was clearing up and said I had tried to grab the coffee from her (not true). I told her what had happened and she gave a very grudging "sorry". No one come to make sure I was ok. In the end we just left the drinks and went. Never will I go to this cafe again.

It's been a while since my last visit to this excellent cafe. It was absolutely packed yesterday, and I can see why. My Eggs Benedict was absolutely delicious and my friend thoroughly enjoyed her bacon and mushroom sandwich. No matter how busy this cafe is, the staff are always friendly and the food excellent. The coffee is the best I've had in a long time. My friend had never been served leaf tea with a strainer before, and she said it was the best cuppa she had ever had. Well deserved praise for this great place

Vine a desayunar en el Gourmet esta mañana. El servicio es fantástico, el personal super amable. ¡Tengo que decir que son los mejores huevos que he probado en Royale! La salsa holandesa era para morirse! Huevos perfectos y tan frescos. Recomiendo encarecidamente este maravilloso lugar. Incluso a nuestro bulldog Buster le encanta y el encantador personal le ofreció un desayuno. Gracias y nos veremos de nuevo muy pronto! :)

Stopped by for our first time and will definitely be returning. The food tasted lovely and was served quickly, staff were smiley and attentive. Couldn't ask for more from a little cafe Thank you

Visited this cafe today for the first time and it was lovely, the staff were so nice and the food was great.Very reasonably priced and a really nice atmosphere will definitely be going again.

Lovely cafe in the centre of Wetherby, service was excellent and cakes and drinks were also very nice. I didn’t have a main meal but this also looked good and it’s very reasonable prices.

Great food. Great service. Great value for money. What else can I say! Read the bad reviews first and they are talking absolute rubbish.

Found this little eatery tucked round the back of The Shambles. And what a gem for a light lunch for the 80km’s ride back home to Todmorden.

Lovely little café tucked away in Wetherby, fabulous lunch, a decent pot of loose leaf tea, certainly not wishy washy like some I’ve had recently, I even had to ask for more hot water as it was plenty strong enough even for me. Crab sandwich and crisp fat chips for me and a tasty Yorkshire Platter for my Fiancé. Wish we lived nearer as there were so many fab options on the menu

Popped in here whilst wandering around Wetherby. Quite a large place with very good cakes and tea. Forgot to ask the name of our waitress but she had fried egg earrings so that probably narrows it down! Thankfully, after ordering a scone with jam and cream and a slice of chocolate cake with cream, she told me that there were no calories on a Friday!

Situado en una agradable y pequeña calle en el centro de la ciudad de Wetherby, el Gourmet es una muy buena cafetería. Desde el momento en que entras por la puerta, el personal que te hace sentir bienvenido te hace sentir bienvenido.

Fuimos a tomar una bebida rápida y todos los aspectos fueron acertados. El servicio era amable, educado y profesional. El menú era extenso sin ser demasiado abrumador. era sólo bebidas para nosotros y las opciones eran abundantes. el batido era genial, frío, cremoso y lleno de sabor. definitivamente volveremos

One of the best full English breakfasts I've ever had. Will definitely return when I'm in the area!!

Nice clean cafe, very friendly and welcoming staff.

My sister and I recently called in for a mid-morning coffee, which was served to us nice and hot. The place has a good atmosphere, was spotlessly clean, and the staff were polite and very friendly. On other tables people were enjoying breakfast, which looked absolutely delicious. Will definitely patronise this place again when in the area, and intend to sample more than just coffee!

We just popped in today after remembering how nice it was last time we visited. Other half had full English which looked good and I had the cheese on toast which was delicious. They use Wensleydale which was new to me but tasted lovely. My only complaint was the portion was huge although I did manage to force it down! The staff were lovely.

Been here a couple of times for breakfast and finally made it for lunch and it didnt disappoint.

My friend and I went there for first time lunch on a Monday. I had quiche (asked for no jacket potato) and was still charged 8.50, for 1 slice of quiche! Not only that but they ran out of brioche rolls for my friends burger. To top it off, I was feeling quite ill after about 45 mins, needless to say, I had to take time off work to get over it. Not sure if it was bad eggs or if it had been left out of the fridge, but I won't be going back. Certainly nicer places to eat in Wetherby.

No soy vegetariano, pero no como mucha carne. Comí el desayuno vegetariano en The Gourmet en Wetherby.

Nice little cafe with a good range of food on the menu. Prices are a tiny bit high compared with similar places but haven’t stooped me going back there.

Se detuvo para el almuerzo. Compañero tenía queso con tostadas. . . . . . delicioso dice él. Tuve frijoles en pan tostado. . . . . Mucho y bueno. Ambos tenían tazas de té que estaba delicioso. El personal que nos servía era muy agradable. Precios razonables también. Sin duda volvería si en Wetherby.

Primera visita aquí y una recepción amistosa espera. Una buena selección de opciones en el menú y todo preparado a pedido. Calidad buena como fue la cantidad. Los tés son hojas y capullos frescos, no una bolsa de té a la vista. La hoja de pan de jengibre y la manzanilla fueron excelentes. El personal es joven, amable y servicial. Podría hacer con el gourmet donde vivimos. Muy razonable. Asientos exteriores disponibles.

Fuimos a almorzar y nos sorprendió gratamente, el personal era amable y acogedor.

I am actually writing this review whilst still sat in the restaurant as the food and service is that great!

Nice seating area in the shambles, very friendly staff and good food! Great for people watching in the summer.

Stopped in Wetherby while travelling up the A1. Liked the look of this place so tried it out. It was clean, very friendly and attentive staff all of whom were young but with none of the attitude that sometimes comes with younger staff. Served quickly and efficiently. The meal was freshly prepared and tasted lovely. We both had salads and were very happy with our choice.

Wow these guys are really going all out. Been a few times and last time theyd had an indoor refurb which looks great, plus they had updated their menu. Went back yesterday and theyve got new outdoor furniture which looks so much better and are really comfy.

Quick stop whilst passing thru, Had a cracking traditional English breakfast. Excellent food, Excellent service from some lovely people. Will definitely be calling again..

Lovely cafe, good service, friendly staff lovely food I have never had a problem I would definitely recommend!!! I bring my little boy in who is one nearly every week and the staff are very helpful with high chairs ect... he loves coming in for breakfast its also child friendly which is great!!!

We visited this place yesterday, it’s been a while, we don’t get out as much now as we used to, as we went in and sat down, we were looked at with snide looks, there was a young girl dashing about serving two people, we were sat there 5 minutes, and I counted! 3 girls down the other have of this eatery, and I use that word with a laugh, they were all interested in something down there, because none came to serve us, there were 3/4 people stood behind the till, after about 7/8 minutes we got up and walked out, the young lass that had been serving was still dashing about, but still hadn’t served us, on the way out, one girl behind the counter said bye, I said something like yes the service is disgusting, I did notice that there was only a few people in the place, now, I know why, lol, the best joke about this place was, as we were walking up the street, the young lass who had been rushing about came dashing past us to the greengrocers, we first went in the Pomfret next door to this place, I wish we had managed to get a seat, lot better ambience, but lessons learnt, won’t be visiting this place again, went to Morrison’s, and it was very nice, the latte was drinkable, my wife says her tea was fantastic, and the cake I got was well it melted in your mouth

Popped in for a quick coffee after 3 hours shopping. Didn’t try the food, but the lovely aromas made it quite tempting. My Latte was excellent and the staff were very warm and friendly. I would go back for the brilliant staff alone

Nice friendly cafe, coffees, loose leaf tea, Huge menu of Sandwiches, Wraps, toasted tea cakes, cakes, breakfasts. 2 entrances, one on the High Street and one on the shambles, also some tables outside. Food made to order and served on nice china crockery. I had the special wrap of the day which was falafel and feta and was well filled and nicely made.

We have nothing but good things to rave about this lovely cafe for breakfast and lunch. Staff are always on hand and are extremely friendly and the food is always cooked fresh to order and in our opinion just lovely every time. Whenever we are in Wetherby, which is at least twice a month, we always make a visit. Full English breakfast is well priced for the quantity and quality and the salads are fantastic. They home make a particularly amazing lemon cheesecake which I have to keep away from as it is far too delicious to put into words!!!

Eggs benedict. Near perfection. Will revist next time in Wetherby. Nice decor. Waiter excellent. Nice place.

Ive visited this cafe a few times and always enjoyed it however theyve recently had a refurb and updated the menu and it doesnot disappoint.

Great breakfast with friends at The Gourmet. So much choice. We would all highly recommend a visit for quality homemade food.

Went to the gourmet on Saturday 19th and had the full English with a pot of tea, food is cooked right next to you so you feel and smell like you’ve just cooked it not enjoyable, then the breakfast came and i was very disappointed very greasy and could tell it was jut cheap nasty food! Staff were ok but not welcoming and friendly like you would expect from a little cafe in Wetherby, all round very poor food and certainly will not be returning much better cafes near by in Wetherby!

This has to be the best cafe in Wetherby. The food is always delicious and the staff are excellent. Very friendly. My grandson loves the colouring sheets and crayons that are produced as soon as we sit down. The cafe has been newly decorated and looks beautiful. I had an amazing salad today. Roasted peppers and balsamic. Absolutely delicious

Treated to a tasty breakfast bun complete with leaf tea. The Gourmet is a hidden gem on the High Street in Wetherby, well worth the short detour off the A1/M.

Stopped in Wetherby on the way to Harrogate. Even though it was very busy at lunchtime service was excellent. Waitress was very polite, Croque Madame was really good, as was the prawn sandwich on granary. Would recommend here for a light snack for lunch.

Proper leaf tea not teabags, Nice choice of cake, good service with helpful staff, visited at the wrong time for a meal but its on the radar to return.

Coffee with friends. Cafe busy even though awful weather. To be fair we had drinks only so cant comment on the food. Basic but clean. Swift service.

Having visited this cafe several times when I come to wetherby , i was again pleasantly surprised the food we had was afternoon tea so tasty and better value than buying separate , sandwich tea and scones with cream .... lush.

This is a great cafe in Wetherby and the food is excellent and the staff are excellent too. I will be going again to get a toastie and chips, And a full loaded hot chocolate great

We visited The Gourmet over the Christmas holiday, as we were staying nearby. We were welcomed straightaway, and our son was given some crayons and colouring to keep him occupied while we chose food. After ordering the food came out quickly and was amazing. Just what we needed to start the day of castle hunting!! I can highly recommend.

Had a nice lunch here today with the family. Good honest food at reasonable prices. Poached eggs, toasted sandwiches and toasted tea cake always good

I always go to this cafe when I am in Wetherby as the food is lovely and usually the staff are. Unfortunately after today I will not be returning again. Went in at lunchtime and looked for a table, it was busy and no tables were free. As we walked passed a table someone got up and we said 'if you're going can we have your table' to which we got a blank look and then a rude reply of 'no because we might need it for staff breaks' she then asked some of the other staff who were behind the counter if anyone else was going on a break , they all just looked blank so we said don't bother we'll go next door. We did go next door where we were looked after by helpful friendly staff and that is now where we will go in future.

Good choice of table sizes and location. The coffee is excellent with a wide variety of flavours and styles ie latte, americano, cappuccino etc. Teas range from builders to fine specialised flavours, also cold drinks fresh or bottled/canned on offer. Food ranges from toasted teacake snacks to full meals freshly prepared and served. I had scrambled egg on toast with two rashers of crispy bacon my friends had toasted sandwiches. The quality of the food is very good and the staff are friendly and helpful. Prices are very competitive and the food is worth every penny. Well worth a visit.

We live only a few miles from Wetherby and often pop in after doing shopping their bacon and sausages sandwiches are very good and they sell lovely coffee well worth a visit.

Staff are always so friendly and helpful.

Happened to be near Wetherby and feeling peckish so parked up and headed for the Gourmet. Had a brilliant Sunday breakfast last time and was not disappointed. Just a toastie with chips and coffee, but the service helps make a great atmosphere. Sometimes wish I lived closer to make it a regular haunt.

Just that. Staff were far too busy talking about the customers or would be customers who were browsing the menu outside, betting on if they were coming in or going to the cafe next door. I should have gone next door!Crumbs and food all over the carpet and staff gossiping about anything that came into their obviously boring day.Had they greeted me, served me properly or even concentrated on the next people who came in through the door they could have saved this review. Customers were left standing in the doorway, as I was, asking - is it table service? Do I just sit down? Are you actually open? Good grief- someone take charge it looked and felt like a school dinner hall with no teachers in sight!The food when it came was very good. You do have a business to save if you want to!
