The Joyful Deli in Bradford

Such a lovely little deli/cafe in a quirky and unique location. Had the full English which was delicious. Well cooked and great locally sourced sausage. Dogs are welcome. Staff are very friendly. Was a chilly day so we were welcomed with a hot water bottle. Such a lovely touch. Take out deli food look equally as delicious, especially the sausage rolls! Will definitely be back. I noticed a few 1-star reviews - ignore as this is 100% Joyful!

Our first visit, just passing. Certainly won't be our last! We were lucky to get a table and there's a reason for the high demand. We found the place excellent! No they're not greasy spoon prices, but then this a million miles from a run of the mill caff. Attention to detail was evident, not just from the proprietress "test driving" the table next to us, but also in the delicious locally sourced ingredients and the (unique in my experience) blankey and hot water bottle to take the chilly weather away. The service was fantastic, warm and welcoming, and the place oozes rustic charm. We arrived before a bit of a rush. I'd advise booking to avoid disappointment. With reference to other reviews, I have to confess I didn't try to consume the toilet, but it did seem perfectly ok as a convenience!

Beautiful setting with excellent food.

Best beef sandwich I have ever had!! Not your average deli, this is a serious place and inside was very accommodating although we sat outside with the dog watching the world go by. Will definitely be back again soon. Thanks

Great place, quirky, fun and great food. Well priced. If you want something a little different, this is your place.

We went for a family lunch today, great ambience & atmosphere, super friendly staff, great food & drinks. What more can I say, visit it.

First visit for us today! What a fantastic place, staff were so friendly and welcoming, the food was amazing but it was so difficult to choose what to have from the menu! Such a lovely cosy atmosphere and the addition of blankets and hot water bottles was a great touch. It was great to be able to take our dog Lexi who was a fan of the Cumberland sausage! We will definitely be back to visit again!

Having just called in on a recommendation, my friend and I have just had THE BEST hot roast beef sandwich each, that we have ever tasted, and the accompanying gravy was stupendous... Service and surroundings were perfect, even down to the hot water bottles for our knees, to help counteract the nip in the air. We can't wait to return and sample the rest of the menu. 🥰

Fabulous little place. Cosy. Quirky. Hot water bottles and blankets if needed, even for your dog! I had the best hot roast beef sandwich can’t wait to go back and work my way through the menu

It’s just fabulous! We went two dogs. One was only 7ths and giddy. Lovely welcome the dogs got sausages. The food every mouth full was a wow moment.

Having lived in Addingham for decades and always keen to support a new business I was quiet disappointed in the coffee although a good brand is used it lacked body and taste not impressed with the lack of customer service either. ***As note by the owners reply it seems critism will not be tolerated ** nothing personal at all I stick to the Fleece.

Just eaten here for the first time and can highly recommend. Food was fantastic and the staff were so friendly, was even give a hot water bottle.

Had a brilliant evening meal here for 9 of us. The ambience of the place is very unique and makes you feel like you're in a Mediterranean taverna somewhere. Wear an extra layer if you run cold as it's in a barn, though they do have a log burner and blankets. The pizzas were gorgeous, the house salad was wow and service perfect. Thankyou!

Great food and great service be back soon

Something for everyone with 4 legs or 2. This is a fantastic spot to eat, drink and shop. Lots of people from the Ilkley area now meet here. But equally if you were on your way to the Lakes or the Dales, and wanted a high quality lunch just off the main A65, say to let your dog or your children stretch their legs, it's perfect. There's an easy circular walk down to the river and you never need step off a pavement, so great for a pushchair. The Deli is a great place for deli items- they sell the best olive oil bar none. Today, there were pumpkins for sale as well as more typical fresh vegetables. The food is great- I love the omelette and our dog knows there are dog sausages on hand. She won't walk past without stopping! You can sit indoors or outside under an awning if Yorkshire rain threatens! On top of this, all the staff are a delight to talk to. There's always a local story and a friendly smile. I couldn't recommend this place highly enough- it's a 5 star place without a doubt.

Absolutely fabuloso experience in this beautiful setting. Mouth watering vegan options plentiful as quite a few dishes on the menu can be adapted upon request. Good quality produce, dishes cooked fresh to order and priced accordingly. Staff very welcoming and accommodating. Our 1st visit but definitely not our last. Give it a try 10/10. :-)

Gorgeous hidden gem 💎 friends and I visited on a sunny Saturday in October and sat outside with the sun shining down on us! Great food- LOVED the veggie arancini balls, Parmesan fries, wood fired mushroom pizza. Totally delicious food, great service, great vibe. Would come back again and recommend to family and friends.

Popped in with two friends after walking in the dales. We were made to feel incredibly welcome and served delightful lunches. Can’t wait to sample the evening menu.

Really lovely barn deli serving beautiful food, which is also licensed.

A little slice of the Med just a stones throw from Ilkley. The Joyful Deli is a hidden gem, with a cosy atmosphere and warm, welcoming staff. The specials are great if you fancy straying from the traditional Italian menu, but the ingredients are great quality and speak for themselves.

Lovely local food. Friendly service

Beautiful little gem of a place, well worth a visit for food or a beer, glass of wine.

A must try experience, food homemade and delicious, the venue absolutely beautiful and the all the staff smiling, attentive and friendly, not many places like this

Nipped in today for a a bite to eat, beautiful place we felt like we were in Italy. Food was amazing and most importantly dogs are welcome too. We will 100% be going back.

Popped in for brunch yesterday and what a find. Best ham and eggs I’ve ever had . Lovely setting, good service and great value for money.

It's a busy day here, and the kitchen is a bit backlogged. I don't mind waiting for food, but I do mind waiting for it when it arrives cold. Manager apologised and was nice about it all but this has been a bad experience and not one I'll repeat.

An absolutely delightful destination for anyone who enjoys good food and hospitality. Will be back.

Really lovely setting and lovely staff, girl with blonde hair was very good considering it was busy. However, 1 flat white, 1 luxury oat milk hot chocolate(which they'd ran out of cream for), a bakewell slice and a square of cornflake tart £17!!!! 2 drinks and 2 cakes £17. We don't mind paying that if it's worth it but didn't feel like it was worth it. Shame as everything else about it is fab.

Absolutely fantastic little independent. Delicious coffee and cake. Extremely friendly staff. All took the time to have a chat. Highly recommend a visit there!

We just had coffee and salmon and scrambled eggs on toast. It was lovely, eggs were cooked to perfection. We will be back.

Beautiful place, great food and excellent service from friendly staff. Lunch menu is a little bit limited, but it was easy enough to find something to keep us all happy. Will be back, and would love to return one evening.

Brilliant find on our weekend away. Just had drinks Friday night but atmosphere and service so good we went back for lunch the next day and were not disappointed. Fantastic menu and also farm shop definitely deserves a visit

A really lovely setting with a warm welcome and friendly service. However we thought the menu which mainly consisted of beef options a bit ordinary. Very limited for vegetarians if you don't want a pizza. Lasagne was disappointing . Small portions and overpriced.

Nothing particularly joyful about this place very mediocre. The setting is pleasant enough but again a decent authentic cup of real coffee is hard to find. There was a lingering unpleasant aftertaste from the coffee suggesting filter problems I asked what coffee do you use and it was seen as a criticism. If I served a coffee that lacked the body, and flavour like that in Livorno I would have my Italian citizenship revoked. Please dear owner listen to your customers.

Just had lunch here with two friends. What a delightful place. Lovely food, friendly service and a beautiful setting. I will return.

As with all my little journeys of discovery i came across this little jem of a place just outside of Ilkley,Yorkshire so coming from west to east the van in layby guiding you in with its advert to a small road for half a mile an old barn hundreds of years old converted cafe and farm shop and discovered a pinic garden at the rear, this away from the hustle of road noise and town centre has got to be a switch off for the best of us although was playing some nice relaxing music in the background. Just a quick bite as time was getting on they were closing soon but were not rushing me order my cornish pastie and cheesecake with a lovely cup of coffee could spend hours relaxing staff were amazing very happy and willing nothing was a bother as i do love finding these special places and a good review is like a ticket to go you must try at least i must stress ita not the cheapest but where it is makes up for the calmness it brings and the staff make it that much more pleasant i hope to pass again when down in the area as it is a few hours away from me but my work takes me all over and this kind of place makes work alot more enjoyable only when you have the time of course pleasure or business this is sure to impress

The scone was tiny, cold and hard. Coffee was nice. £14 for two little cold hard scones and coffee. Won't be back

Great place to eat and drink. Pizza was great

Amazing food, staff couldn’t do more for you. Lovely chic atmosphere and super relaxed. Really good night out in every aspect

Excellent for a stop when on a drive out. Plenty of seating, great food, and they den serve the cappuccino with cinnamon powder. Just perfect.

Excellent place to stop for a coffee, a meal or a snack, on the old road to Addingham, just outside Ilkley.

A very rustic and unique place with an italian vibe. Only came for a coffee and a muffin but had a browse at the Friday evening menu which looked lovely and combined with the atmosphere sounds fantastic for an alfresco summer dining experience and eager to try. They stop serving food after 2:30 but still a range of cakes and deli items to choose from for an afternoon snack

Ordered coffee and cake but never got the coffee

Coffee ☕ great today and looking forward to eating in your quaint deli 😁

What a find! We nearly sat outside, so glad we didn't, absolutely loved the atmosphere and very special inside. We'll be back

What a wonderful gem the Barn is. Yes it maybe a little chilly but the blankets and hot water bottles certainly make up for the chill. The staff and the food provided are top quality and after our second visit in so many weeks, this family run business is certainly attracting the customers. I will be passing the word around. Thank you ladies. Much appreciated and we shall be back soon. Phil & Angie

What a great find. It's a quirky place, the staff are brilliant and the food delicious. We will most definitely return once the days warm up and sitting outside is possible. Inside was nice with blankets and hot water bottles provided!

Beautiful (if slightly chilly today!). Will certainly return asap. 😊

Had brie,bacon and cranberry quiche, best quiche I have ever tasted. Hubby had ham and eggs,best quality ham,eggs were gorgeous he said and fries were lovely and crispy. Will definitely be back.

Our first visit , and it won’t be our last. Little gem hidden away. Delicious food, great service, lovely atmosphere

A real hidden gem, we were so glad to have found it. Great food, especially the sausage roll and generous helping of Carrot Cake.

Food and coffee good but expensive and cold.

Called in for the first time for breakfast, had a lovely welcome, the staff were amazing. We ordered a bacon bap and a sausage bap both were delicious 😋 the coffee was one of the best tasting we've had. In fact we got extra to take away when we left. Would definitely recommend and we will return.

We have been to the Joyful Deli a number of times, normally on our regular walks from Ilkley, but wow, what a surprise today; instead of sitting outside we were shown into a lovely, atmospheric barn. The staff were all very welcoming, the food and drinks fantastic and the hot water bottles a nice touch, providing welcome relief having walked a number of miles over Langbar Moor. I felt a little under-dressed in shorts and hike boots but no-one bothered and although I didn’t have my dog with me this time, they are welcome. Thank you Jilly and your team, we shall be back!

Fantastic breakfast at Joyful Deli this morning Topped off by the sounds of Andrea Bocelli in the background. Perfect 😋

Fantastic, stunning and all food and deli perfect

What a gem of a place . Fab food , fab menu great staff .Being a deli loads of fresh produce home made baking and cake like treats on offer mmmmm It’s a barn it can be cold but with the log fires the blankets, hot water bottles all there if you do feel the cold makes this place fabulous . Can’t recommend this place any higher than get yourselves there and try it 😉

We bought some ground coffee from here, the lady was very kind and knowledgeable even letting us sample some before purchase which is very uncommon but highly important. Unfortunately the lady mistakenly picked out a bag not suitable for an Espresso machine (the other bag was fine) we had opened this bag without realising. The lady very generously replaced this bag for us free of charge. I would consider the Lonton coffee to be competing with some of the best.

Couldnt fault food. Had Ham Terrine and Broccoli and 3 cheese soup with cheese toastie. Delicious. Tea could have been hotter. Good location. Will go again soon with family.

What a lovely wee place. Lovely atmosphere in an old barn with the beams and roof coverings still in place. Blankets and hot water bottles available if you’re a bit chilly although the wood burner keeps things toasty warm. Food was delicious. All seems to be home cooked/baked and truly one of the nicest quiches I’ve ever tasted. Staff were lovely and friendly and they even sell fresh bread, fruit, veg (locally grown!!) and different alcohol (wines, beers etc!). I’ve seen a few negative comments on price and while it’s not your Costa/Nero prices (although not far off!), for quality, home made food in an independent place with loads of charm it’s 100% worth what you pay. Will definitely be going back!!

Popped in today for breakfast, it was amazing! Very friendly people made it a great find. Hope you are very successful.

Lovely quirky barn. Fresh tasty food. A bit cold but a great idea to give out hot water bottles 😊

Amazing place - so glad to have visited - lovely atmosphere and delicious food. Highly recommend- will be back! The olive and anchovy pizza is hands down THE best pizza I have ever had.

Good but expensive food, lots of seating outside and inside a large barn. But it's cold even inside, they do their best with rugs and even hot water bottles but they really need a couple of space heaters. That said it is a good atmosphere and eys are welcomed. Wrap up well and call in for a coffee at least.

Lovely atmosphere nice friendly staff. Good select of food to eat and to take away using local produce. Will call again and tell friends to visit too.

A hidden gem with a warm welcome and friendly staff! They have hot water bottles and blankets for colder months, which makes it cosy. The new barn is very special and is well worth a visit for coffee and cake (or the food menu also looks great) 😊

Loved this place, we went to eat in the barn and had booked a table as its only small and gets busy. It's so cosy in there, hot water bottles and plenty of blankets if it's too cold. The food was lovely and I could have stayed for hours! Dog friendly too which is a bonus.

Lovely authentic local farm shop café. The food was generous and excellent, the service friendly and professional, and the barn space unique and quirky. Although cold, it is a barn in January and you can't fault them on that, and the hot water bottles and log burner helped enormously.

Excellent service & very cozy ambiance😍

Please update opening times. I walked to the place twice and it was closed, but showing open on google

Lovely atmosphere, great home cooked food, friendly staff.

I've been wanting to visit the Joyful Deli for a while, it is a nice place but I would go back in the summer as it was very cold inside the barn.

Pleasant sitting outside in the sunshine.

Delightful looking forward to going back and watching it develop. Will take a big coat just in case!

Absolutely fabulous experience. Came across this by accident but would travel to to back again now we know it's there. Had kippers with tomatoes, kale poached eggs and sourdough toast which was so special.

If it's a chilley day put an extra layer on.

Good food and friendly service. Bit chilly even though there are some heaters. Hopefully things will improve when the wood burner is installed.

The staff are very helpful and friendly, would love to visit more, no gluten free bread or cakes, it's an intolerance not an allergy, and not a life choice! like vegetarians "the coffee is wonderful xxx

We were walking the dales way and came across this gem by chance. The nicest setting full of amazing staff who couldn't do enough for us and our dogs. If you are in the area this is a must visit. Thank you for looking after us so well x

Great food and plenty of it (we had BLT and Soup), very good coffee all set in a lovely old barn. We will be going back.

This is such an unusual place. It's in a barn, which has been decorated. Blankets were provided to keep you warm. It's a shop and cafe/restaurant which was a great find.

Absolutely beautiful place for meals, we had a fabulous breakfast and will definitely be back for an evening meal. The staff are super friendly and you can even buy extra treats/cakes to take home…which of course we did!

We enjoyed the most magnificent afternoon tea with a bottle of Prosecco. Wonderful friendly service, fantastic quality produce, the barn is a really pretty setting which made this afternoon tea feel really special. Jilly and the team spoilt our cocker spaniel with some lovely cooked ham. Thank you for a great afternoon.

What a brilliant place. Great ambience, great food, great service. It will now become our go to lunch stop when passing through. The only negatives were the toilet (difficult to bolt the door - easily fixed I'm sure). The salt cellars didn't work - also easily fixed. This however is nit picking.

This place is a must if you are visiting or passing Addingham. Jilly and her staff are professional with a friendly and joyful attitude. The food is amazing. The quality of all the ingredients used is top notch.

Loved our fabulous breakfast this morning - beautiful fresh produce and excellent friendly service. Couldn’t resist the cakes too, would highly recommend!

Excellent food and service a little bit pricey but worth the treat on a sunny day.

My ideal cafe. Casual, cosy, tasteful and dog friendly. We arrived in pelting rain to be welcomed to the indoor haven with blankets, candles.

Nice to sit out in the sun and have coffee and bacon sandwich. Not cheap but nice.

Wonderful place to enjoy a cuppa and a piece of cake or something warm.

Al fresco deli food. Not cheap.

Dropped in on an early walk for coffee & croissants. Great food...(will have to try lunch next time), friendly staff & loved the rustic feel to the place. Will be back.

Fabulous place, tucked away, but if you know you know. Highly recommended, follow the signs.

What an amazing relaxing experience we have had today. Outdoors in the fresh air with mediterranean music 🎵 beautiful surroundings. Felt like we were abroad and not in the middle of Yorkshire. Food was amazing with a great variety of drinks and lovely coffee and the service was outstanding. This is a must try. You will not be disappointed. 

Fresh and homely. Pizza is freshly made with right balance of tomato sauce and cheese. toastie is in fact a freshly baked ciabatta that's thick and fluffy and toasted, with generous filling of farm ham and cheese. Service is attentive and like chatting with friendly neighbour. Al fresco seating is comfortable. Wish we were not so full from the hearty portions that we had to doggy back the pizza, because there were freshly baked focaccia bread, mille feuille, cannoli, pies, tarts, and more. Definitely one of our top places to eat around Ilkley.

Had great food here today wi 7 other cyclist's, very welcoming, great staff ,great value ,thankyou 😀

Really enjoyed it here. Lovely farm cafe selling fresh produce as well as a lovely dine in menu - sandwiches, salads, toasties, quiche etc. Very friendly service and lovely surroundings.

Gorgeous food ..location and ambience excellent

Lovely atmosphere in this hidden gem.

First time visit to this lovely cafe. Enjoyed our morning ☕ in the sunshine. We will be back!!!
