The Old Bakehouse in Calderdale

Had a lovely coffee ☕️ and bagels 🥯

I quite often come here for lunch when I'm in the area and I can honestly say that everything I've had here is fresh, and good quality, and the staff are lovely. There is a wait sometimes because everything is made to order, but it's worth it because the food is tasty and the portions are very generous. There are parking spaces behind the shop. It does get busy at lunch time, but that's a good sign!

I’ve just had the most amazing hot turkey and stuffing salad box. Absolutely perfect guys. Thank you ⭐️

What a lovely little place. Eggs were poached perfectly. The breakfast omelette was nice too. Not overly impressed with the sausages but they were ok

Very nice food but a little expensive for my liking.

I visited with my daughter and grandchildren, who live in Halifax and have eaten here before. We all chose breakfast dishes. I had the small breakfast, which was very nice, and came with toast. There is a shop area and cafe area, we had to wait a while for our meal, staff apologised for the wait but we could see how busy it was.

The best little cafe on the green. Super staff that are the friendliest of any cafe I know. Great food, sandwiches and bargain breakfasts.

A nice place to to stop for a coffee and a sandwich

Sat in the cafe part and ordered a full English. There was a small wait as they were busy we were all told in advance and when the breakfast arrived, it was lovely. Recommended.

Fabulous clean place and great friendly staff

Worst butty I’ve ever seen! Asked for a sausage butty with brown sauce, sausages had never seen a cooker! They were so white I couldn’t eat it 🤮

What a gem! Lovely staff and a great menu. Get there for the roast if the day 😀

Nice friendly staff had a small breakfast well worth it's price only negative the beans were a bit watery

Us three guys have been regular customers in the past and enjoyed good service and good food but after our visit last week, this will be our last visit. We don’t understand why you have stopped serving your breakfast after 11.30am and we’re not happy with the rude way in which we’re told of this. When we got up to leave we were then told we could have a breakfast but just this once! When we received our breakfast there wasn’t much on our plate 1egg, 1small rash of bacon, 1 sausage that looked like it had come our if a tin and had an odd taste (certainly not one of Todd butchers delicious sausages from next door) and a small portion of backed beans. Certainly not worth the price compared to other cafes in and around Halifax that we visit. To cap off our experience when we went to pay for our 3 breakfast’s and 3 coffee’s we were told our bill was over £30! When we questioned this it was recalculated correctly but no apologies. So based on our experience we will be going elsewhere in future.

Never had a problem here until today. Came in for a breakfast and two drinks. Ordered a caramel latte when it arrived it was luke warm and far too sweet to drink. I ask a young lady if she would mind making me a new drink and she was very polite and made a new drink. Just as we finished eating the original member of staff came over and said ‘was something wrong with your latte’ I just remarked I found it too sweet too much syrup she then stated ‘I didn’t think it was, I tried it when you sent it back’ …. Unbelievable… in my eyes you don’t question a customer like that and then through a pandemic remark you drank out the same drink! The second drink made by the young girl was perfect and her service and manner throughout was lovely. Shame the other lady let this experience down!

Food is very good and filling 😋 glad I started going there for sandwiches as they are gappy to help with my requests

Great food. Good service & friendly staff.

Fresh, homemade soup! Lovely...

The sausage sandwiches are amazing recommend for breakfast

Fantastic little find. Great Covid measures in place. Tasty food and friendly staff. I'll definitely be back 😋😋

Went for hot chocolates and cakes today and thought it was lovely. Really nice staff and well organised.

High quality sandwiches that taste great!!

Excellent as always. Breakfast is always belting, my friends tried other menu items. cauliflower & cheddar soup, roast beef & Yorkshire puddings & a cold sandwich. We were all very impressed with the quality. Add to this - Reasonably priced & helpful staff, make it a pleasure to visit.

Friendly staff great range of products will highly recommend to others,also has parking spaces available.

Great service great food and drinks as well.

Called in on way to hospital appointment. Ordered a salad sandwich. Very disappointed as the filling was certainly not in excess: lots of lettuce, slice of egg, slice of tomato and a slice of cucumber- all in a brown tea cake ( as no granary left) at a whopping cost of £3.50!! I was going to call in on way back from appointment but it was closed. I certainly expected a more substantial sandwich for the cost. Not impressed with first and probably last visit.

Great food - great prices - lovely food.

Great place. Always spotless and they are always cleaning. They are very welcoming. I have been a few times now, I usually go when ever we have a hospital appointment. Went with mum This time. She had the small breakfast (not that small) I had the double cheese which was the special. I expected a small burger bun with 2 burgers and cheese. It was a large teacake with 2 big burgers ,cheese, and burger sauce it was massive. I was really glad I had not ordered chips. As it was I only managed 2 thirds of it. They make a good coffee too. They usually have a roast of the day as well. You can either have it on a sandwich or as meal. Not a bad thing to say about it and the owner is lovely

A lovely place. Spotless and food is delicious.

Nice food and coffee, nice people.

After reading reviews I wondered why I had not been before. Ordered & everything was served hot & fresh by smiling friendly staff. What's not to love? I will be back.

Fantastic service and great food.

Great sandwiches. Great service

Do love Toasted T cake and bacon from here

Lovely brunch. Eggs Benedict was brilliant, Coffee is huge, Nice cake selection. Cute little place. Parking for customers is really helpful. Staff are lovely.

Lovely staff and great choice of food

Relaxed fun atmosphere, friendly staff and really good food. Decent prices. Will be back.

Great service from friendly helpful staff and great tasting food. So nice to be able to have breakfast without time limits. Bacon, sausage and mushroom sandwich is delicious any time of day. Christmas menu starting from 3rd December, ill be checking that out.

Took my daughter here for something to eat she ate everything.

Very nice food and people that work thete

Brilliant food excellent menu and lovely friendly staff

Love coming here. So much choice. I’m afraid I’m a bit boring as I always go for a salad box but there’s a lovely range of fillings to choose from. Lots of lovely specials on offer too. £3 for a salad box with meat filling. The nice lady on the counter always double checks if you want coleslaw, extra mayonnaise, beetroot, onions, etc so it is customisable if you are fussy.

Food it's ok... can't say great,nice and friendly staff

Lovely cafe, freshly prepared and baked food, reasonably served with friendly staff. A small menu that has a good range with something for everyone

Called in here on a midweek morning for something to eat. Ordered the full cooked breakfast. Friendly & helpful staff, and it appears popular with locals. Reasonably priced. Takeaway option also available. Place was clean.

Great little place ...staff and food are lovely! X

Working over the weekend and with no canteen facilities available, we decided to try one of the local sandwich shops for breakfast. Having heard some good reviews from others who had tried the old bakehouse we opted to order from there. We ordered 11 different hot breakfast sandwiches and were surprised at the speed with which they were delivered. Everybody in our group commentrd on how nice the tea cakes were and how good the ingredients were that went into the sandwiches, no complaints from us ( a first for a group of grumpy engineers ). We enjoyed the sandwiches so much we ordered again the next day and were again pleased with what we were given. Great value for money and top notch sandwiches, what else can I say.

Nice food, nice staff, good prices.

I have visited this place twice now. The first time I called in to the takeawayfor a bacon sandwich (nothing else). I placed my order and 2 minutes later a man came in and ordered a bacon, egg, tomato and mushroom sandwich. Ten minutes later the lady appeared with the mans order and told me that mine wouldn't be long. I waited another five minutes before my sandwich was given to me. I had almost asked for my money back and wished I had because it wasn't very nice. I thought I'd give it another chance but ate in this time. I ordered the chilli which had no taste to it at all. The lady who took my order was very nice but the cafe could do with being made a little cosier and welcoming.

I have heard good reviews about this place so wanted to check it out for mtself. The place is clean, the food good & the staff friendly. A nice place to come & sit in to eat or they do take away

Lovely lunch friendly staff will definitely go there again x

Nice friendly cafe for breakfasts and sandwiches

Love this little bake house Louise and her team , are friendly,helpful always smiling, food is faultless always tasty and good value the tomato and red pepper soup is a must to try .

Went to chip shop next door as it was shut. Fish and chips were greasy and horrible.

Really good quality breakfast and coffee and varied takeaway sandwich menu

I love sitting in for breakfast.

We tried this place for a morning coffee after we were no longer prepared to drink the bad coffee at neighbouring Coffee on the Bean. Coffee at the Old Bakehouse was much better, staff was much nicer and coffee was cheaper. We didn't have anything to eat. The decor isn't great but at least we have a place in Skircoat Green now where we can have a decent coffee.

Friendly speedy service and the good was lovely..

Ordered breakfast this morning and it was the worst breakfast I have ever had in my life. The bacon was fatty and so well done couldn't eat it. The sausage was pale and no taste The eggs were that well done the yolk pulled out of it without ripping the egg. For the cost of the breakfast I am disgusted at the portion size. Then to top it all off we found a hair in our breakfast. The picture is what we got for near enough £4 Overall was such a let down that not one of us was able to eat it never mind enjoy. Such a let down and will never go here again.

Fortunate to have this incredible cafe up the road from our house. The selection is brilliant, prices are fair and the quality of food is outstanding.

Really good food,tremendous value for money,friendly staff very clean cafe will go again

Have visited a few times Nice cafe. Good coffee with pretty patterns on top. Nice lunch. Would go again. Staff were nice.

Great little spot. Four of us ate here for brunch today. The food was good, service excellent and overall it was very good value for money. We eat here regularly and it never fails to disappoint. Thank you.

Estuve con mi amigo para el almuerzo. Ambiente agradable y amable personal en un ambiente acogedor. Servicio rápido y una selección razonable de comida, que incluía patatas, tortillas, sandwiches chaqueta y ensalada. Las porciones eran generosas (tanto de bebidas y la comida) y sabroso. Sin...

Llamado para el desayuno y era fabuloso, recién hecho para tazas de té, excelente servicio gracias. Un entorno limpio y agradable sin duda llamar quizás para probar una comida más tarde en el día.

Tuvimos una comida encantadora. El personal es muy amable y la comida era fantástica. Tiene un ambiente genial.

En primer lugar, este establecimiento ha cambiado de manos y pensé que les daría unos meses para instalarse antes de la visita. El café es un espacio muy pequeño, luminoso y espacioso con capacidad para alrededor de 17 personas a la vez. El papel es un as y piggy me hace sonreír. Los frigoríficos ahora han sido trasladados a la zona de la cocina así que hay mucho más espacio y me quedé muy contento de ver su certificado 5 estrellas desde el consejo local. Nos recibió el personal amable y nos las arreglamos para conseguir una mesa sin problema. La sopa del día era de guisantes y jamón asado y el calor del día era de cerdo. Fui con otras 4 personas. Dos de ellos eran chicos jóvenes y el hambre de otros 2 estaban mi madre y mi suegro. Pedimos 3 almuerzos y 2 sándwiches calientes. Pedí una sopa con la mía y no me decepcionó. Los almuerzos llegamos todo bien caliente (el proveedor de salchichas ha cambiado... por suerte) y no tengo ninguna queja con wolfed. De hecho había mummblings sobre lo agradable que el bacon y salchichas! Mi sándwich caliente de cerdo asado que estaba para morirse. Este fue servido con un poco de salsa, jarra bonito detalle! Taaaaaaaaaaaaaan jugosos y tiernos. Simplemente divina. La sopa era una comida en sí misma, pero como soy un codicioso cerdo que también me pulido. Estaba lleno de trozos grandes de jamón y yo disfrutamos muchísimo. El té se sirve en tazas grandes y bonitas el capuchino fue hecho. Como mi marido estaba perdiendo de esta visita, me tomó pena en él y flan de huevo adquirido una extensa variedad de sus de los productos horneados. Me dice que fue genial, no hay oportunidad de probar como él es muy celoso de su huevo masas para tartas!! Todo el personal era muy servicial y amable, y el nuevo dueño salió para asegurarme de que todo estaba bien. No tenemos quejas y felicitaciones al chef. Ganas de venir a su tercera noche de sábado. siguiente bistro Buena suerte con su nueva empresa de Louise y Vic. Como dijo en el terminador de Arnie..." volveré!!"

This morning were visited this cafe to have brunch. The staff are very nice, helpful and polite. I had a brunch the cost was £3.95 this price is very good, the brunch contained 2 sausages, 2 rashes of bacon, beans , hash brown and egg. It is a great location. My brother had a ham sandwich. My brother has a dislike of butter and the staff accidentally added it. He already had half and he asked for a half of sandwich and then they brought a new sandwich with new crisps. My Mum had a lovely Hot Beef Sandwich which she said was the best sandwich she's ever had. This cafe is absolutely lovely. Also the take out sandwiches are very very good as well. Best Cafe In England

I went to the old bake house for lunch with my two friends and our three babies! There was plenty of room for us all. I had the hog roast sandwich and it was gorgeous!!! Full of pork, crackling and apple sauce mmmmm! We all had giant cornflake buns for desert. The service was extremely fast, was great value for money and the staff were very friendly. We will definitely return.

I called in to the Old Bakehouse for breakfast as I had been meaning to do so for some time. The cafe is at the rear of the sandwich shop, which serves as a bistro on some evenings but I'm at a loss to see how it can transform itself from basic to welcoming without some re-arrangement of fridges etc and the addition of something to the walls at the very least.The service was great and the young woman waiting on tables was charming but the breakfast was let down by cheap produce. During my visit only one other person came in to eat and there were about half a dozen sandwich orders and this should have been peak breakfast time for a Saturday morning. The bacon and extra black pudding were both cooked well and the breakfast was cheap but it was reflected in the quality of the sausages in particular as they were appalling. The butchers next door make their own fantastic sausages and home cured bacon and I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd rather pay more for the best meal of the day.

The meal was really good and the staff couldn't do enough for us. Very reasonably priced, which made the experience great value for money. If you happen to be looking for somewhere new, on the "compact and bijou" scale, and a place where they care about their customers, then this place is definitely worth a visit.

Plans for our lunch out changed and then changed again whereupon we found ourselves across the road from this place - where my sister and her friends had recently enjoyed eating. Staff were extremely friendly and efficient. Food was absolutely delicious (mushroom and garlic soup made a very yummy and warming starter indeed). This establishment is very close to the Royal Calderdale Hospital and offers lovely food and excellent value - we paid around £6 each for a mug of soup, hot roast sandwich and a quality mug of tea! Can't wait to visit in the evening and sample the bistro menu!

My friend and I ate here last night and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the dishes at this new bistro right on my doorstep.The huge king prawns we had as a starter were delicious in their garlic butter and cooked to perfection. My only criticism would be that crusty bread and butter wasn't provided as an accompaniment.Sadly we both chose the same main course so couldn't taste each other's meals but the tandoori monkfish was very tasty. Sides are reasonably priced at £1.25 each.The prices for mains are varied and there is an early bird menu. There is a 'pick and mix' grill, which is a great idea.It was quiet when we visited but it is newly opened and quite small.It is a cafe and sandwich shop during the day and transforms into the Bistro in the evening.We will definitely be going back.
