Mocca-Moocha is a cafe situated opposite the Sony Centre Shop and Cathedral in Wakefield…read more It serves the usual coffees and teas, as well as iced coffees and iced smoothies. A pleasing selection of home-made cakes and scones and other treats tempt the taste-buds, with panninis, cebattas and wraps being the main part of the sandwich selection. Everything is well-made and the staff are courteous and friendly. Still looks pretty good though, and head and heels above the other cafes in town (yuck) and especially when compared to what it used to look like six years ago before it became Mocca-Moocha. If you have read my other reviews you will realise I am a design snob (!). Adequate seating inside and out, all food is placed on display and the prices are reasonable in comparison to the large franchises and chains throughout the town, and i would choose this place and Grind coffee shop above them any day. It is very popular being in an ideal location. Keep on going Mocca-Moocha! I will update this review as this cafe improves!

Tea served in proper china cups. Paninis from £2.80. Homemade soups and a nice array of homemade cakes. A great little find, ideal for a quick well-priced snack. It's almost cheaper to come here than to cook your own. I've been here a number of times and never been disappointed. Newspapers and magazines, leather sofas, open fire. You can even pick up some needlework items should you wish. For what it is, with no pretences, 5 stars. Even the music was pretty good today; Marvin Gaye, Byrds, Scott Walker.

This is a nice Starbucks location, it is located on Dewsbury Road, just outside the White Rose…read moreShopping Centre in Leeds, and has a drive-thru and 24-7 opening. The interior of the store is comfortable and attractive and appeared to be clean in all areas, including the toilets. They also had a nice selection of merch including a Yorkshire branded "You are Here" mug. The service wasn't the best, I did have to repeat my order multiple times and the barista who took my order appeared to be disinterested, but my drinks were made correctly and up to the usual Starbucks standards. This location supports online ordering and appears to charge the same price as you'd expect to pay at the majority of Starbucks stores in the UK. I ordered a Venti Iced White Mocha and was pleased with my drink. My guests also enjoyed their beverages. PRO TIP: If travelling along the M62, this Starbucks is just a short detour off the motorway, and is cheaper than stopping off at the motorway services for coffee. 4* - A nice and comfortable Starbucks location in a useful location, with good drink quality.

On a recent visit to Wakefield, my companion and I decided we needed a coffee stop, since we'd…read moremanaged to arrive too late for lunch but too early for tea. That ultimately dead hour, where everything is set to close, and life has departed. It was supremely bad timing, and having missed most other cafes, Grind was our only hope. We wandered in to an empty space, where the girl immediately let us know she too was closing up imminently. That was fine, we said, we could get take away and sit outside. This was fine by her, so long as we didn't make use of their al fresco seating, as that was to be packed away. I gestured to the reasonably new public seating outside, and said that's where we'd be pulling up a pew. I had a latte of some description. The cafe inside is reasonably attractive-clean, simple and relatively spacious. They have all the usual suspects, in terms of drinks and suchlike, and no doubt plenty of snacks to enjoy. As we were to be in and out, I didn't really have the chance to fully intake the details and minutiae. In any case, the visit was fairly unremarkable, but not unpleasant. As for the coffee, I couldn't say it was outstanding, but it was the caffeine hit I needed for a day wandering about the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. In that regard, I can say, if you need a hit the Grind will serve you well.

I needed to pass a bit of time and this was the first place I spotted that seemed open…read more On the plus side my medium latte was only £1.50 because they have 'grind time' before 10 and after 2 when drinks are cheaper. I wasn't particularly impressed my the speed of service and even less so by customers being allowed to bring their dogs inside. But hey, I can forgive a lot for a good latte.....if only I'd got one. My latte was well below the 'Costa mark' (which is my average, nothing special but drinkable point). The overwhelming taste being scorched milk .

This morning paid with cash and realised for what you get this place is expensive. 2 slices of toast with marmalade and a large caramel latte for over £5 is bit expensive. The toast was only done on one side and for some reason the latte tastes funny. This is the first time I have ever been disappointed in my morning Costa's.

I was aware of the main Opposite cafe from my student days, often providing a welcome distraction when procrastinating during dissertation season. During a chat with the barista, I realised it was their smaller, centrally located sibling. Whilst the original Opposite is a totally relaxing place to while away a few hours; this one is more of a place to refuel with gorgeous, fairly traded coffee and a refreshing range of teas to choose from. I enjoyed visiting Opposite in the Victoria Quarter, reminiscing about the carefree hedonism that was student life! I had to get one of their chocolate brownies, just to check that they were as good as I remembered them to be. They were.
