What a little gem of a place, downstairs in the indoor market. The food here is delicious, we had the full breakfast several times and haven't been disappointed at all. Proper strong tea and lovely owners/customer service. Extremely good value and full of regulars, who are made to feel at home. Highly recommended.

I finally decided to stop by Shipley Market Café after years of walking past, and I’m so glad I did! My partner and I ordered two large breakfasts along with lattes, and everything was fantastic. The food was delicious, cooked perfectly, and reasonably priced. The friendly staff made the experience even better, creating a welcoming atmosphere. If you’re in the mood for some hearty, well-cooked grub, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommended!

Family run traditional style market cafe located in the Shipley underground market with access via steps from Kirkgate/Market Square ( close to bus stops and outdoor market) or on the level from Westgate (ideal for wheelchair access). You can get everything from an omelette or sandwich to a full English or Steak Pie dinner at a good price with good service. The coffee is good from here too and a decent price too.
