The staff above anything else are top notch, always greeting customers with a smile, and offering a great service. Their cakes, light lunch bites and one of the best bacon sandwiches you will ever eat - it is locally produced after all! The serve a delicious cappuccino, perfect for reviving the weary shopper. The decor is supremely cool and fits perfectly into the quirky retro vibe. There are cool vintage posters and the tables cloths mimic their 'Pink Teapot' signage with the pink polka dot theme! Truly, it's a lovely place to go for a drink, and probably serves the best bacon sandwiches in the world. Yum!

They sell a huge selection of 'not your average' baguettes, focaccia and ciabatta sandwiches, pastas, salads and paninis (all freshly made that morning) and also do very good coffees. No such thing as nescafe in here! The prices are very competitive at between £1 - £2.50 per food item. They also sell the BEST chocolate cake I have eaten in a very long time, and trust me, I have eaten a lot. Situated just opposite the University steps of The Parkinson Building, it does get hoards of students and local professionals through the doors at peak times. It is also quite small so sitting in can be a problem in peak times. It is unfortunately non-wheelchair friendly as it is down a small flight of steps, with no lift. Great for when you're on the move and you want something real to eat at a good price (as opposed to plastic muffins or soggy sarnies). But if you can, avoid the lunch rush hour.

This pleasant little café is another addition to the array of little eateries just opposite the…read moreParkinson steps of Leeds University. They offer a range of slightly more exotic sandwich choices, certainly compared to the standard, such as Leerdammer and Chorizo baguettes, amongst others. All appear to be hand made on the premises, which suggests they are that little bit fresher than the standard choice, and range from around £2 in price. Although seating is a little cramped, on my visit I squeezed in at a table near the door to enjoy my extremely cheap latte - £1.30 no less! The space is freshly decorated and the atmosphere was fairly pleasant and buzzing whilst I was there. The service was swift and friendly and little pleasures, such as soya milk being offered as an alternative, make this thoughtful café a decent place to visit. All in all I was pretty impressed with the ensemble and will certainly be re-visiting for more than just a coffee sometime soon.

I've also used them through a delivery company and it's always spot on. Sure it's a small place, but it's a true gem. I'm my opinion, it's the best place to eat in Otley and what makes it even better is that it's independent. BYW, get the meat meze, It's Awesome!

My boyfriend and I were due to go home, having spent a long and arduous day shopping in Otley. At…read morethe last minute I decided, rather awkwardly it's true, that I wanted a coffee and a cake before our twenty minute journey home. We stopped off at Dales, mostly as it was the closest to us at the time and not more than five minutes away from the bus station. It's a nice enough cafe, spacious and nicely decorated, but it's not the most amazing place I've ever been to. It's down to earth and homely. We ordered a coffee and a piece of cake, I went for the Victoria Sponge, and it was just what I needed. A bit of sustenance and caffeine to keep me going! The prices were cheap and the service was relaxed and friendly. There just wasn't much in the way of atmosphere. Apparently on Fridays and Saturdays from 7-10 pm the place is transformed into a greek restaurant, so perhaps this is when the place really comes to life. Unfortunately, with our bus due in 10 minutes we didn't have time to check that out, but I'm sure it would be pretty reasonable! All in all it's down to earth and a nice enough place to stop off for a break.

The coffee they're serving up is easily some of the nicest you'll find in the area, and is reasonably priced. University staff get 10% off. There's also a nice selection of food on offer - nice pastries, cakes and muffins as you come in, and there's a decent selection of sandwiches and salads available (some of which are hot). I'm a particular fan of the fish finger sandwich - it's just a shame that it's a special which they don't offer every day.
