The Leaf & Bean in Craven

This is a great vegetarian cafe near Skipton Castle with an excellent shop on the ground floor. The food is excellent and I strongly recommend this place.

Tasty , fresh and delicious. Generous portions and lovely friendly staff. Even non- vegetarian husband enjoyed his vegan chickstuffing panini!

We were so glad we spotted this place! The staff were super friendly and the food was lovely. It was very reasonably priced and there were lots of goodies in the shop below too. It's a lovely place to sit and eat whilst you watch Skipton go by below :)

Exceptionally good vegetarian food - nothing fancy, just filling and delicious. Extremely quick service and good value for money in a town where in virtually every other cafe the vegetarian option is chips.

we come to the uk from the us 1-2x a year to visit family. this spot has become a new stop on our trips. amazing vegan food and excellent staff.

Popped in for a light lunch and was very impressed with the choice of menu and service. Food was beautifully tasty with good portion sizes, wonderfully hot cappucinos and excellent value for money. Would definitely visit again.

First time here and I will be back. Delicious food, big portions and so cheap. Lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff. The ginger hot toddy was super. The curried sweet potato amd spinach soup was delicious and the date and oat slice was so tasty. I highly recommend this vegetarian cafe. A hidden gem.

Had a fabulous lunch here today. I had the falafel and hummus salad which was the best salad I have eaten in ages and very good value for money. My husband had soup with a generous portion of bread, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Lovely cosy atmosphere and great service. Would highly recommend.

Wanted a light lunch with an accent on healthy eating. We all had sandwiches on really nice granary bread with very generous side saladsincluded in the price - about £5.50. Coffee was excellent and under £3 a cup which is rare these days. The homemade soup and quiches also looked delicious. We shared cranberry flapjacks as the slices were huge!

Lovely food and great service, great choices for families with mixed allergies and food requirements. Delicious food for everyone!

Delicious and healthy lunch. Nice atmosphere. Enjoyed it and decided that I'm going to make it a regular lunch time treat

Fantastic selection of vegetarian food in nice surroundings. Service was good. Would visit again. Located above the whole food shop.

Really lovely little find, great range of vegan food and lovely staff. Good prices too. Had the vegan breakfast which was nice and the sandwich selection looked good too

Friendly staff and great service. Lovely homemade soup, with fresh bread and butter. Panini with salad was delicious. Highly recommended.

This is now my go to place in skipton the soup was tasty hit and plentiful the sandwich fresh full and wonderful. Given it 5 stars would give it 6 if I could

Lovely spot with wide choice for vegetarians, which is a real change. Had the Brie, cranberry and veg bacon. Lovely. No panini available today so done as a toastie, and served with a really nice salad, not your standard lettuce tomato affair. Mrs had mushrooms on toast which was a hefty portion. If waitress had come back I’d probably have had a dessert. Maybe next time. Will definitely come again

Warm, cosy, freindly and makes fantastic healthy vegan food that fills you up. Had a great soup with my fiencé. Top nosh! Didn’t have time to take pics cos we ate it haha.

Really nice homemade food, lovely people and relaxing surroundings. My son is a vegetarian and he loved not being an after thought on the menu. Deserves the ratings! 😁

Fab vegan and vegetarian food. Been on numerous occasions and have enjoyed all the meals we’ve had.

Fantastic food. We had sausage, cheese and chutney toasties with broccoli soup all served with a delicious salad. Fresh and tasty food, great service and reasonably priced.

Lovely friendly little cafe, lots of choice on the menu for vegans and vegetarians. Waitress Ella was superb, so very kind and thoughtful, with excellent customer skills, she made us feel very comfortable. We had some toasted sandwiches that were served with an amazing side salad, all freshly made and were delicious. You have to go Through to the back of the health food shop and up the stairs but it is a hidden gem!

Friendly welcome, nice upstairs cafe, accessed thru shop, good range of vegan/veggie options. Reasonably priced. Great portions, very fresh and tasty. Service a little slow.

We both had the vegan all day breakfast and it was banging. Generous portion, well chosen veggie sausages/bacon too! Really delicious after our long drive up to Yorkshire!

First time we’ve been in. Food was great and service great. Staff friendly and helpful. We had the panini’s (vegan sausage, vegan cheese & onion chutney) followed by the vegan fruit scones. Excellent! Will be back again.

Excellent place for lunch. Great soup and mains, panini's and excellent coffee. Understated and easy going service.

The menu is constantly updated whilst keeping the favourites. The food is freshly made and healthy. Vegetarians and vegan options abound with no scrimping on taste or texture. Only 1 complaint - you’ve become so popular sometimes we can’t get in :-).

Really lovely little cafe overlooking the high street serving delicious vegan and veggie food. We had a gorgeous pea and herb soup, with a veggie sausage panini and a lovely carrot and beetroot salad. Such a treat to have all the delicious options vegetarian!

Great for vegan/vegetarian/omnivores. Family of mixed enjoyed ourselves many times. Friendly, no fuss establishment.

My husband and I visited twice in the last week of October for lunch each time. The food is delicious and freshly prepared. The staff are friendly and helpful. A lovely place to visit for vegetarian and vegan food.

Brought my daughter and labrador so tasty salad and soup and such a wonderful friendly lady served us thank you so much my daughter has been veggie 2 years

Friendly atmosphere with excellent, attentive staff. The cheese, onion and potato pie was delicious as was the mushroom pate and cucumber sandwich. Portions are generous. Great value for money and well worth a return visit.

This cafe was recommended by family who had previously visited Skipton. We were not disappointed our food was lovely. I had a toasted sandwich (it wasn’t as a toastie on the menu but they happily did it this way) and my husband had a panini...

My daughter and I are both vegans and this is a rare place in a little Yorkshire town where you can enjoy freshly prepared vegan food. It was our second visit and did not disappoint. It’s very popular at lunchtime so get there as early...

Lovely range of both Vegan and Vegetarian food. Daily specials board as well, if you just want soup and sandwich or something more substantial they have options. They have vegan cakes too.

Smell is delicious as soon as you walk in and great to see staff busily making everything in the little kitchen!

A day out with our three young vegan Grandsons it's usually very hard to find vegan food . The Leaf and Bean was a really good find . The staff are friendly and professional an paintent explained the menu to our Grandsons they enjoyed there...

Good quality fresh food in a spacious and bright environment. Soup and salads were very tasty. Try it.

Very good value for a tasty, home- made lunch . - the fig/date crumble was absolutely delicious , and amazingly cost less than £3!

Really enjoyed a lovely lunch here! Particularly loved the salad accompanying the hallumi and veg tart

Went for the vegan options and wasn't disappointed! Good choices and had fantastic food. Had to finish with a lovely slice of the vegan cheesecake. Friendly and helpful team there and lovely spot for a lunch. Highly recommended

The food was amazing and that's why we make a special trip to come to Skipton. Staff are always friendly and efficient. Great choice of food and drinks and health food store downstairs to stock up at. LOVE IT 🖤

Wonderful little cafe. There are many different choices, all vegetarian, and everything is beautifully presented and excellent value. It's our first choice in Skipton. Indeed it is one of my favourite veggie cafes anywhere.

Had the most tasty lunch here with 5 fellow vegans and we felt well catered and cared for. The mushroom pate sandwich was an amazing savoury delight, and the vanilla cheesecake was also so good. Coffee was delicious as well...what a great little gem to...

Stopped by with 5 other vegans looking for lunch, thoroughly enjoyed the great choice of vegan sandwiches and cakes! The mushroom pate sandwich and lemon cheesecake were absolutely delicious. Recommend to any vegans looking for a tasty meal while in Skipton.

Had a bowl of mushroom soup which was delicious and a meal in itself. Served with crusty granary bread and good value

Lovely little cafe with friendly staff and delicious food. The sandwiches are generously filled and the side salads are great. The cakes are amazing too!

Popped in for lunch. We are both vegetarian and my partner is lactose intolerant so it was great to find somewhere where there was lots to choose from for us both. Plenty of choice on the menu but we both opted for the sausage panini...

Been a few times. Absolutely love this place. Very friendly , great choice of vegetarian /vegan food. The vegan cakes are delicious as is the food. Very reasonably priced.

Had a vegan sausage panini...tasted perfect. Very satisfying after lots of walking. Good garnish too.

For me, this is THE place to go in Skipton. Great for vegan food. I usually have the mediteranean tart (with trio of veg) but as it had sold out, I opted for the lasagne. At first glance it didn't look too appetizing but looks...

Three of us enjoyed an excellent vegetarian meal on a busy Friday lunchtime. We each chose a different dish from the menu and all were excellent - freshly prepared and delicious.

Just fancied a healthy lunch instead of fried food and sandwiches. Had the most delicious trio of salads. Very filling and extremely tasty. Tucked all the boxes!

Brownie was one of the best I’ve had (I’m not vegan) coffee was decent aswell! Staff were lovely and attentive!

I have loved this cafe for years and it is always a lovely experience! Nothing super modern, just a traditional vegetarian cafe selling fabulous tasty food that's all natural, no UPFs. Friendly helpful staff, wonderful food, good price - what more could you ask for?

Really glad I came here. I had spotted the interesting menu when passing through Skipton earlier in the year, so made a point of coming here for lunch when I came back. I am gluten intolerant and had lots of interesting foods to choose from....

Visit to the castle . Wonderful Surprise to find an amazing flesh free cafe so near. Actually we would / intend to travel from Bolton again …..it was so so good Menu, quality, service all 5 star.

Cosy brunch. Food was delicious We had soup of the day in a cup, and mushroom pate sandwiches with cucumber It was served with a delicious side salad cafe. Would definitely recommend as a veggie restaurant.

Lovely Panini and accommodated my mother who can't stand background switching it off. V friendly service too.

Lovely healthy food, service and atmosphere. Great view of the church and castle. Recommended place for lunch.

Called in for a quick lunch today. Gorgeous mushroom soup and proper bread! Cakes and coffee delicious too! Will go back to try more goodies off the menu!

We always call here when we are in Skipton. They do lovely wholesome food. Sandwiches are delicious and the cakes yummy.

Whilst visiting Skipton fancied a Drink & Snack so opened our TripAdvisor App. The Leaf & Bean Cafe had some lovely reviews so we went there. This upstairs Vegan Cafe has lovely views looking out toward the lovely local Church & Skipton Castle. This Cafe...

Brilliant, warm, relaxed atmosphere with a view of the world passing by the castle, plus, tasty, healthy vegan and vegetarian food!

Friendly service. I had a panini and a melt-in-the-mouth date and oat slice, my partner herby mushroom soup and a GF scone. Highly recommended.

Excellent food and Great service everytime we come here. Would highly recommend. Excellent coffees too

Best veggie cafe for miles 😃 Been going here for a long time. Absolutely lovely food and atmosphere, friendly staff and adorable. We will continue to visit as often as possible. Highly recommend over other cafes in Skipton.

Really enjoyed our meal here, soup was lovely, and the salad with the jacket potatoes was amazing. Really nice, would recommend a boost here. I’m not vegetarian and there is plenty to choose from for even the most enthusiastic carnivore

A fifteen minute wait at our table to be served - while two lots of takeaway customers were served - is awful. We walked out in the end , even then no-one approached to ask why we were leaving.

My wife, Kim, and I visited Skipton on our way home to Wem, Shropshire after a short holiday in Hellifield. We were made to feel very welcome, as were our two dogs, and the two ladies in the Cafe were so friendly. The tea, Ginger...

Absolutely lovely ! Best vegan options I've seen, and very nice staff. So cosy in the cafe and excellent food. We all absolutely loved it and will definitely be going regularly! Highly recommend for anyone with any diet !

The food here was very good. I had a sausage, caramelised onion and cheese panini, and my partner had a goat's cheese and pesto panini. Both were tasty and cooked perfectly and came with a very good and very filling salad of carrots, beetroot and...

A lovely lunch at the Leaf and Bean! We had the most glorious mushroom soup and a platter of attractive and tasty salads. Perfect.

We ordered chick pea soup which was advertised on the outside billboard only to be given a tomato soup. Never were we told this wasn’t available but when we queried was was given to us we were rudely told it shouldn’t have been on the...

Amazing friendly staff and absolutely amazing food and delicious cakes, with vegan and gluten free options 😋

Perfect lunch sat outside in the sun. Refreshing tasty fresh food. Small but perfect selection. Service very friendly. We thought we hadn’t paid the full bill, but we had; excellent value. Definitely recommend, vegan or not

We went there a few days ago and were really impressed. It is only a small café above a health food shop, but what you get is a big surprise. The café is up s short flight of stairs but the room is really quite...

Came across this lovely quiet cafe above a health food shop and close to the castle. Varied menu, friendly staff and clean. I chose the mushroom pate and cucumber sandwich with mixed veg soup. Really tasty and filling. No long wait for food and very...

We called in for lunch, loads of vegan / vegetarian options. Soup, sandwiches, jacket potatoes, and specials. I went for tofu scrambled eggs on sourdough. They happily switched around the accompaniments and added cheese to my eggs. We also had tomato soup and cheese sandwiches...

Really enjoyed our meal at Leaf and Bean. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. We shared the hummus and falafel appetiser between 2. Very generous portion that would have been enough as a main. We ordered a jacket potato and sausage casserole for main....

I was persuaded by my son to try the hummus and falafel salad. I'm not really a salad person so this was quite brave. I'd also just been to the gym so was quite hungry. I wasn't disappointed. It was really interesting and filling. Exceptional....

We have eaten here several times and keep coming back. They were still finishing the recent renovations but managed to serve their snack menu with 3 great salad portions. We had a houmous sandwich and falafel with pitta all loaded with the aforementioned salads. Usually...

Had a great sweet potato curry here today. The side salad accompaniments are really good. Try it here for something very different and healthy. We love it. Only two staff on today and it was really busy so they were rushed off their feet and...

Lovely welcoming little cafe. Delicious sandwiches and the accompanying salad was very tasty and different. Pity we don't live near.

Called in yesterday for birthday brunch. Food was really lovely and tasty. Good portions! Thought staff could have been slightly more welcoming and cheerful, but overall great meal. Will be returning!

Lacklustre food, bit grubby. My husband's soup was tasteless, my scone was soggy and undercooked. This was such a lovely veggie cafe in days past under previous management.

I had a jacket potato with beans which was nice but the salads it was served with were excellent. The loose leaf tea was nice too. My wife's potato was a bit small, burnt and short on filling so not so good. Our friends sandwiches...

We visited this cafe for lunch and were delighted to discover that our dog was allowed in. We each had a jacket potato, one with hummus which I actually watched being made and one with brie and cranberries. The salad accompanying the jackets was very...

My partner and I have used this cafe for around 20 years. It has changed hands several times but the food and service have always been good. My partner & I went there for lunch today, for the first time since it changed hands again....

Me, my husband and two friends were visiting Skipton for the day. Between the four of us we have two vegetarians and one gluten free so when we saw this cafe it was the perfect place to stop for a bite to eat. We visited...
