  “Attended here as a family of 4. Greeted straight away. Service with a smile. Plenty of seating options. Food was very reasonably priced and tasty. Just a bit noisy with the music and coffee machines.”

  “Staff very attentive and friendly we normally struggle to come out and eat at cafes/smaller businesses due to a severe nut allergy however Racheal was amazing and ensured to personally make the food herself and look after us the whole time. Lovely place with lovely food! ◡̈”

  “Went for lunch today as I’ve been wanting to try this place for ages as I’ve seen the excellent reviews. I had jacket potato, which although was quite small and crispy on the outside, the inside was still quite hard. The side salad had a mustard dressing (I think) which wasn’t great, I would have preferred plain, although normally I like mustard dressing. Both my friend and I didn’t like the dressing, and ended up leaving the salad. Disappointed as we’d gone out for lunch for my birthday and thought it was going to be a treat. Service was great, and staff were friendly, but food let it down.”

  “Great place for lunch, coffee and cake, we called in as a group of 6 during the rhubarb festival and friendly staff found us a table no problem. Great food (the rhubarb special drinks were great too), fast and friendly service, would come here again if we are in the area”

  “Had been wanting to visit here a while but unfortunately was slightly disappointed, we seemed to have visited at a pretty busy time which probably had an impact but the staff were friendly and it's a cute place. I liked all the decorations etc however we did have to wait quite a long time time (over half an hour) for the wrap which my cousin found to be a bit underwhelming and the houmous and bread - the focaccia was amazing though! We were pretty cold but appreciate it's a big space to heat on a cold day and there were attempts to with heaters about, and multiple plates had soap suds still on them. At least they'd been washed at least but could have done with a proper dry too 😅 So overall not a terrible visit but think expectations might have been a bit too high.”

  “Lovely cosy café with great vegan and gluten free options! Sandwiches, paninis, cakes, hot drinks. Staff was super lovely and cheerful. Really decent prices too. We'll definitely be back and will try the afternoon tea sometime!”

  “Visited here with my three friends to celebrate the pending arrival of my little boy. We were treated so well, they’d popped us in a lovely quiet corner by the window upstairs. The food was absolutely delicious, wow, the cakes are amazing! Staff are so friendly, no wonder it’s always so busy here it’s an absolute gem of a place to visit in Wakefield.”

  “What an incredible delight afternoon tea at Marmalade on the Square was!! The words "unlimited tea" are like music to my ears so it was an easy choice to select this option. The difficult choice was which cake to include in the event, there are so many absolutely beautiful hand made cakes. You can really tell that somebody cares! We went for the nutella cookie cupcake (who makes cupcakes from cookie dough?.... a genius in my opinion 👏) and a slice of oreo cake, which kind of just tasted a bit like chocolate cake with more vanilla icing on it but hey, that's still a very very tasty cake! Service was very quick and they couldn't stand having people with luke warm tea, bringing fresh pots like clockwork keeping the whole experience top notch, nothing but respect for the attention to detail on all aspects. So what isn't so great.... we chose to sit next to a window and it was sunny, got a bit hot in my jumper. Erm, its really really hard to say what could have been better in honesty. Delightful venue, incredible service, free flowing tea and tasty treats. 😋 10/10 - a must!”
