Fantastic Cafe, the food is extremely fresh, delicious and great value for money, for a cafe I personally think in my opinion it is the best in Bradford nevermind in the vicinity. And as for the staff they are extremely polite and can't do enough for you. Would highly recommend this little gem would rate higher if I could!!!

Well what can i say, this place is amazing the staff are really friendly and welcoming they always have a big smile on their faces and are always happy to see us customers. They are always happy and every customer i have seen has left the shop happy. They are all so polite it is a joy to go there on a weekly basis. Moving on to the food. Well that i could go on for hours at how good the food is but ill shorten it down. I cannot and i repeat cannot think of a single bad thing to say about the food it is always warm and tasty the meat is always cooked and tastes like it was cooked by a mitchellin star chef because its blooming amazing. The prices are phenomenal and as i said before the food is blooming amazing the food is well worth the price i am a regular customer and have been for years and will be for many years to come i am truly gobsmacked at how well this cafe performs. This leads me on to the cleanliness inside the cafe. The cafe is soo clean i am outstanded every time i go in the cafe also smells amazing when you walk in its like walking through duty free at how nice it smells inside. The workers at harlequin cafe really do not know how good they are at their job. I cannot recommend this cafe enough to anyone it truly is amazing. The teacakes and the flat cakes are always lovely and soft it really is the most enjoyable breakfast anyone can ever have. I have tried a lot of cafes and i can honestly say that harlequin is the best cafe i have been to ever.
