Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly point to the authentic Italian cooking as the draw, with dishes like deep fried mozzarella, spicy meatballs in marinara sauce, carbonara, and a tiramisu singled out alongside egg on toast and a well-liked double espresso and Americano. Several regulars describe the staff as friendly and welcoming, with one noting the team took particular care with a daughter who struggles in social situations, and others praising promptness, portion sizes, and reasonable prices. The atmosphere is called airy and traditional, suited to solo diners or groups. Small recurring gripes surface: one reviewer finds the music too loud at times, and two mention a minimum card spend policy, working around it with extra sides or paying cash instead. Otherwise complaints are essentially absent. One breakfast visit closed with a reviewer calling the egg on toast simply good and vowing to return with their daughter.

“I don't come to Keighley as often ad I used to. But when I do, I make a point of eating or drinking here. Excellent Double Espresso and Americano. Kids loved the hot chocolate. The food we ordered was fantastic. Deep fried Mozzarella, Spicy Meatballs in Marinara Sauce, Carbonara and a Cheese and Tomato Toastie. Managed to get a Tirimisu as well, which I've not had from here before. Lovely staff, great food. Would very highly recommend.”

“A traditional and very friendly ‘locals’ cafe that is just as welcoming to strangers, and one that has managed to ease its way into the 21st century without ditching the fried spam. It’s pleasantly airy inside and it has a reasonable number of tables. My breakfast was hot and fresh, promptly served and very well presented. Not to mention very good value for money.”
