The Quays Cafe and Bar in Bradford

Went for lunch. Delicious food and good service. Reasonable prices. Good for vegetarians. Consistent quality. Highly recommended, local eatery. Hop skip and jump from Salts Mill

The most Amazing breakfasts… I had eggs benedict and my friend had the Avocado and eggs… eggs done to perfection. Good coffee

It’s fine. Nothing special. 8 for a panini and soft drink take away. 15 mins to make and only one other person in there. It’s not bad. Please stop putting salad in the box to bulk it out. No one eats it and it just makes the panini soggy.

Beautiful breakfast this morning, called in on a whim and so glad we did! Had a big breakfast and a Scottish breakfast, everything was gorgeous, including the coffees! Brilliant, friendly service 5🌟

Amazing, great food lovely people. Nothing was too much trouble. Caters for VE GF we pretty much everybody. Their afternoon teas are out of this world…

Great food and reasonable prices. I'll be back!

Fantastic food great service great price, perfect.. 😁

Good menu, nice location, attentive and helpful staff.

Café/Bar hidden away from the town centre next to the train tracks and the canal. Two large breakfasts and bottled water and coke at just over £20 was reasonable value for the area. Two Bacon/Sausage/eggs with beans/tomatoes/mushrooms and toast on the side. A little slow coming out but was well prepared. Did think the eggs were a little small and not many mushrooms etc for a large breakfast but we did not starve as a result.

Beautiful designed interior,good selection of food,reasonable prices.

First visit,won't be the last,really good.

Well worth heading (only slightly) off the beaten track (close to Salts mill and the canalside walks) for this welcoming cafe with good food and drink and reasonable prices. The lady in charge was so friendly and helpful, I had my toddler grandaughter with me this time, and not everywhere is so welcoming. I think best as a breakfast/brunch/meal place than coffee/cake selection stop, but great quality and value.

Nice little spot to call in for a coffee and sandwich. A little pricy but good quality food. Had to wait a while for bacon sandwich as I think the lady was on her own but overall we enjoyed our first visit.

Such lovely food and amazing friendly lady

Delicious breakfast and lovely service. Will be back!

Great options, tasty, superb value and very friendly staff. Will be back.

Really nice out of the way cafe that makes for a good lunch if you're in the area. Their breakfasts and breakfast sandwiches are great.

What a great experience! Fantastic coffee, delicious cake, very welcoming staff. Hope to visit again soon.

First time and will definitely return. The Yorkshire breakfast was SO tasty, normally bacon and sausage aren't that great but the quality is fantastic, they buy locally at a good butchers. We wanted poached eggs not fried which were made, very pleasant chef. Proper brown bread for toast. What's not to like then ? Shame uts only open one evening per week.

Decent food, friendly, but a little hard to find, still worth a visit though.

Stayed at a nearby hotel and decided to venture out for brunch. Food was delicious, good portion size, friendly atmosphere.

A fantastic wee bar and cafe near Salt Mill. The ciabatta rolls were really tasty and I definitely recommend the Saltaire Blonde ale. Fantastic service with a really friendly owner.

Fabulous spot to have lunch or take out for a working lunch. Staff are welcoming and friendly. Prices are good. Food is delicious. The cafe can also put together a great buffet for a business lunch catering for all dietary requirements. Well recommended!

Unexpected little gem of a cafe. Lovely friendly service and coffee. They even had gluten free bread for my mum’s toastie!

Lovely cafe. Nice feel inside and lovely food and drink. Unique. Highly recommend

A hidden gem - don't miss out this wonderful cafe with a great menu beautifully cooked and excellent value. Michael

Amazing experience first time I've been since the new owners took over didn't disappoint and the poached eggs were out of this world. I will definitely be back

Great discovery, good coffee, food smelled amazing ( I'll be having breakfast there as soon as I can) and good wifi.

Lovely lunch here with tennis friends. Tasty food, value for money and service with a smile xx

Excellent little cafe Food great and very reasonable

A great stop for lunch. Good location near the office.

Brilliant place with lovely food. We had a private party here and were very well looked after. Perfect venue.

Great spot. Lovely staff. Great place to sit and work and dine whilst the car was being fixed.

Called into this Cafe whilst visiting on a narrow boat. So good we used it for the full three days of our stop. Even got a take away to enjoy on the rest of our trip. Lovely food, lovely service.

The Quays Cafe Bar has provided a great corporate lunch today. The feedback from the attendees was very positive. Plenty of food, well presented and varied sandwich, pastries selection. Promptly delivered at agreed time. Would highly recommend !

Fantastic cafe with fabulous service

Good to see them open again, under new management. Nice food, and with options outside the usual run of the mill. But -- was it just a freak busy day? -- they were rushed off their feet and it was quite a wait.

An absolute gem of a cafe Warm welcome and excellent value. Great food and the wait was negligible. As a long distance lorry driver I think I can safely say that this is one of the best I’ve visited.

I only ever visit when my walks take me through Shipley but it's close to the canal and serves consistently high quality food with excellent service. Highly recommended

Good coffee, tasty sandwich & pleasant attentive staff

Lovely place, friendly staff. Recently had a steak burger there which was the best burger and chips I've had for a long time. I've been in for lunch a number of times now and have never been disappointed.

Really Good sized portion, lots of salmon and the poached eggs done to perfection, the coffee was really good too, I usually go to Costa but this was just as good

Really terrible service, possibly the worst I've encountered. No greeting or even acknowledgement upon entry, ignored for some time before being sullenly asked what we wanted, no eye contact at any point during our visit. Extremely overpriced for what is essentially greasy spoon food. The advertised 'steak burger' was a frozen burger. We requested no bread or cheese because of dietary requirements and only got the poor quality burger and overdone bacon on a plate with mediocre, unseasoned sweet potato fries. None of the advertised lettuce, tomato and salad were present. By far one of the worst dining experiences I've had the displeasure of enduring. Would recommend avoiding.

Great place. Highly recommended

Nice food and lovely staff, will definitely go back.

Quays Cafe Bar very pleasant and open you can walk around with out bumping into each other. With the covid ristiction in place in many cafe bars in ilkley there is a barrier between you and what you can do. Management and staff friendly. Cupa tea and a slice of lemon cake 🍰 great. Thanks

Just visited for the first time. Really nice owner who looked after us and accommodated everything we wanted. Well sourced products. We'll definitely be back to try lunch sometime.

Great food! The owner is super nice and welcoming. I had the halloumi burger, awesome, very soft and delicious! And very good fries as well!

Delicious lunches with a huge range of options, including alcoholic drinks. The new owners are absolutely lovely and will take care of your every need. They're also doing takeaway. Check the website for their updated opening hours :)

Very nice food, super welcoming staff, I definitely recommend the halloumi burger! The owner is lovely and would make meals that aren’t even on the menu. Quiet and relaxing place.

Nice little find on the way back from a canal bike ride. Lovely cuppa and flapjack, so good I had to order two. Great hosts and my son enjoyed the bike challenge. Will be back for a proper lunch as the food looked great.

Fast friendly service and tasty filling breakfast.

Great little place, secretly tucked away

My first visit after the lockdown, now know The Quays has changed owners. V good service, good food, good price, would definitely be back.

Lovely cafe, fab staff highly recommend!

New Management Putting In A Lot of Effort.

Beautiful food at good prices. I've had breakfast a few times at this cafe and I've never been disappointed. A good fixed menu with plenty of specials available to tickle the taste buds. The staff were all very friendly and really made sure I felt like nothing was to difficult. Brilliant.

Nice food and improved 100 times on quality of service and waiting times. The new owners seems to be getting it right. I would give 5 if they have good spicy options for sauces on request

Wow,what a gem!! How do they do it for the price? We had 2 delicious jacket potatoes with cheese, coleslaw and baked bean filling, a wonderful latte coffee and a coke. A good sized side salad on each for under £11.00!! The service was second to none and the place itself was the cleanest had ever seen, I certainly will be returning, service at its best!!

Wow, what a little gem!! So much food!! We had a massive jacket potato with cheese, coleslaw and beans and a good size side salad with a latte and a coke!! My daughter couldn't finish hers!! The food and staff were second to none, sparkling clean surroundings, discount if you work local and a take away service, call in even if its to look at the extensive menu, we will definitely be back!!

Good value for money. Great welcoming staff. 10 percent discount for local workers.

Very slow there are better places

Held a private function with ease! Good value for money and kind and welcoming staff

Quality food, really enjoyed my sausage and egg butty. Would definitely recommend

Lovely food, atmosphere, good value, and friendly service, recommend.

Great bacon sandwich and coffee, really helpful and acommadating staff, very reasonable prices.

Just a short distance from the canal tow path, this is a top spot for lunch. Tasty food and reasonably priced

Great place to throw a party! Brilliant friendly staff too. :)

Had a full English today and really enjoyed it and staff were Great

Lovely evening, great food and service, thanks for an enjoyable evening

A quick lunch during my son's lunchtime - great coffee and food. I had a fish taco wrap loaded with crumbed fish and salad. Both of us cleared our plates. It seems to be well supported and the menu is very extensive.

Visited here for breakfast. Had a delicious meal and coffee. Great cafe

A nice liitle place off the beaten track. Good selection of food, alcoholic and soft drinks, nice decor and atmosphere, and an eclectic selection of books to while away your time if you are alone.

Visit regularly as i work close by. Alwaha made to feel welcome. Food is freshly cooked but never have to wait long even when busy. Always a nice atmosphere and the staff do an amazing job.

Visited for breakfast, all food was cooked from scratch so was nice and hot. Good quality produce. Nice pot of tea and okay coffee. Would visit again.

I took my laptop here to work. It seems to be a pretty good venue for that. Great to see somewhere where you don't have to walk around the whole place doubled up looking for a socket and fight other people for it - there was pretty much a double socket at every table. Wifi connection pretty good and coffee was OK. There were also lots of books to borrow which was a nice touch. I liked how varied the menu was. It wasn't super posh or anything but just a nice varied range of sandwiches and salads. I had a chicken caesar sandwich and fries. Just a bit of a shame that they skimp on their ingredients. The fries were cooked OK but were obviously the cheapest frozen fries they could get, the bread was a cheap white bap and the ketchup was very vinegary. I feel that they could get slightly better quality ingredients without affecting their profit margins too much and it would take this nice venue to the next level. Either way I will come here to work again and will probably bring friends but I won't bother with the chips.

A great little cafe - hidden away off the canal in Shipley. Amazing food from light bites to sandwiches to one of the best goujon sandwich a friend has tasted. I like the haloumi wrap, baked potato and cheese and tomato omlette and will often share a portion of chips. I once visited the cafe 3 times in a day - lunch, then came back for coffee and then again with a different set of friends for tea later in the day. There is a large vegetarian choice and weekly specials menu. The staff are very friendly and always very helpful. You don't have to book a table but if it's a group bigger than 4 i would recommend ringing them and booking a table. You really don't want to be disappointed by not getting a table. In summer there are a few tables outside. You definitely won't be disappointed by the whole experience.

We are so glad we found thus cafe. We had a delicious breakfast made with very good quality ingredients. Friendly staff anf the coffee is top notch too. We will be back soon!

Nice range of tasty food, good value if you eat in.

Great people behind the Bar. Fab venue

Not the cheapest but good food..

Go here often. Lovely staff and never had a bad meal. Recommended!

We took a friend who was visiting for her birthday here. She (and us) loved it. We have lived in Shipley for 5 years and have never been before. The food was to die for, atmosphere was lovely and the staff were friendly and very knowledgeable. We have found our new spot!!

Sat out with a flat white, good brew and quick service.

Really friendly staff, tasty food and they were great about catering for my husband's allergy.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Good food, enormous range on the menu.

Having been here in the past and enjoyed both the atmosphere and food we were disappointed to have to complain and send our food backdrop due to it being cold ,the manageress was very apologetic and didn't hesitate in removing the items from the bill and explained a new chef had started that day and was struggling with timing because it was so busy! Hopefully it will soon get sorted out because this is ah hidden gem

Wonderful place to sit back and relax

Cosy place with friendly staff. The food is nice and they do a mean coffee. A bit on the pricy side for Shipley but the quality is excellent.

We visit the Quays quite often as our offices are nearby.We normally just enjoy their great coffee produced with great care by the team.Occasionally we enjoy one of their lunchtime snacks or sandwiches,which are produced with care and attention.The Quays is a hidden gem , drop in for coffee or a bite you won’t be disappointed.

Nice friendly staff and atmosphere. Food was ok.

Once a week for lunch and it never fails to please. The specials board changes every week and I almost always choose from the board.

Fantastic venue for breakfast lunch or a drink after work. 6 out of 5

Wow, fab little find hidden away in Shipley by the mills. Best breakfast in Saltaire / Shipley. Lovely lunches - chicken tikka burger was great, Excellent coffee and it serves beer. The only thing that would make it perfect for me is if one of the 4 lagers on keg could be an ale - I can see how they'd struggle with cask. Friendly. Very good cooking. Lovely interior.

Very friendly young lady greeted us and served our drinks. The café has been tastefully decorated and is spacious and airy. The menu is what you would expect - jacket potatoes, sandwiches etc, but all were nicely presented and tasty. A good place for an informal get-together. I believe this is a popular spot for local businesses to lunch.

Came here a few times while working in Shipley for a week. We found this place just walking around near the work. This was the closest place that looked good. Nice food in a nice setting. Quite small but nice and bright. They serve a good selection of sandwiches and wraps. The staff were very friendly which is always a good thing. Let's get on to the scran. The first day I had the Brazilian burger and fries and a fentimans lemonade. The burger was on the specials board that week so I don't know if it's a regular item on the menu. It was really good, the fries were nice and crisp and the lemonade was sharp. The second day I got the club sandwich with fries and an orange juice. Again sandwich was packed with delicious fillings and fries were nice and crisp. Lovely. The next day I had the Brazilian burger again because it was so good the last time. On the 3rd day they put the prices up. I don't know if they seen us coming and knew we were bunging it on expenses but it wasn't by much. With lunch at about a tenner a time it might be a bit pricey to eat there on your own dime all the time but I would recommend it and would go back if working down here again.

Excellent food. Very nice environment, very kind staff.

We came here for a wedding celebration and loved it. It’s a small venue, but perfectly set up and run. The drinks were reasonable, and there was a good choice. The cod we were served was spot on and the main menu looked like it had some interesting dishes on it. Worth seeking out!

I really don't know how everyone leaving reviews of this place has given it 4-5 ratings... The food here is just mediocre... It won't poison you or make you gag, but the quality just isn't enough to justify eating out; supermarket baps, crumbly, clearly frozen burger, everything pretty tasteless, and fittingly soundtracked to annoying, nothingy top 40 music. Not dissing the staff as they were completely OK, just the food was pointless and the radio did my head in.

Visited with a group of friends for the Quays Caribbean night and was very impressed! For £15 a head we had a fabulous Caribbean meal and a cocktail each. There was live music, the service was great and we all had a brilliant night. Thanks!!
