To the person who has posted this comment... (see photo) .... How can you review a place that is closed and closed for genuine reasons. Its a small family business that is trying to keep going after a massive impact over the last 18 months or so... just like many other small businesses.... The owners are hard working and love nothing but serving their customers and catering to customers needs where possible... I think it's out of order for you to rate as 1 star because you got wet when ultimately the owners are a lot worse off then you, having to close when the did not want to and losing out on a lot of business. It is not easy to "get someone to staff the place all the time" .... you can not just teach someone remotely how to do what the owners do day to day... As I have already said this is a small family business and unfortunately they have had to close temporarily and definitely not something they will have wanted to do. I have been going here for years and I really think you comments are out of order. To the business... you are a wonderful small team and your food is amazing. I think most or the village and other visitors will agree with this comment. Looking forward to you being open again and especially for your amazing fish finger sandwiches on a Friday

This Coffee House/Bistro is a hidden family run gem which should always be your first place of choice in this area! The staff were welcoming, friendly, and nothing was 'too much' for them, so pleasant to find these days. Their food was excellent, the portions huge, and so well presented. It was the best Cappuccino I've had in a long time. Nice touches...like the Chef visiting our table to ensure that everything was to our satisfaction (which it was, and moreso!), the Waitress, making sure we had everything we needed, the ambiance... delightful. Even though it's obviously extremely busy at lunchtime with, I think, regulars, we were in no means rushed, which we would have understood. To be honest, even if we weren't planning to be in Thornton, we'd make it our first choice establishment to visit, even if meant a 10 minute drive from the centre of Bradford. However, if you do intend to visit between 11.45am and 2pm, I'd recommend that you phone ahead and book a table, although I'm sure the owners would do their utmost to welcome you to their fantastic Coffee House/Bistro!

Very friendly, attentive owner. Real fire inside so very warm on a cold morning. Eggs Benedict with salmon and hollandaise sauce - delicious.

What can is say about this place. Hidden gem for sure. Log burner on the go, warm welcome from staff. Great coffee and a stunning menu. Please visit this little French diamond. Thank you.

We had a wonderful experience, we were made very welcome, the food was fantastic, and the prices were very reasonable. Many thanks. I would highly recommend Christophes Coffee House!!

Lovely cafe great food and very friendly staff

Good friendly atmosphere. I've enjoyed my lattes there.

Had a lovely lunch here, food is lovely and good quality. Would highly recommend. Parking on roads is free. Opposite a lovely sunbed/beauty salon and conveniance store nearby. Restaurant is lovely and clean and staff are lovely and friendly.

Fantastic breakfast. Can't fault it superb will be going again. Only downside tiny inside so best booking to reserve a table

Christophe’s is my go to place for breakfast. No matter how hard I look, I can’t find anywhere else as relaxed and where you can sit alone and eat an amazing breakfast with amazing coffee. Lunch is great too. I need to try the bistro menu at some point!!!

Wow what a find. Great food, friendly staff and above all very dog friendly. Definitely a cut above your average cafe.

The ONLY downside to this place is the size. It's so popular because the food is incredible that you're lucky to ger a seat. The food is quite expensive but is worth every penny. The chicken fajita is beautiful. The service is brilliant. Always happy to see you and very attentive.

First visit for me; good food, friendly and helpful owner will go again ☺️

Cosy and cute coffee house with delicious food!

Dropped in hoping a table for 3 was available, we weren't disappointed. We all chose omelette, best we have had in a long time, lovely brown chips and chopped salad. Beautifully presented. Lovely place, we all felt very comfortable. Great value too. We will drop in again when next in the area. Thank you.

Good service fantastic food amazing flavours, definitely worth a visit

Very popular place (we went at lunchtime) with a fabulous host and locals who obviously come here often.

All my family love this place, best food, posh fish finger Friday is a must try! Breakfasts are a great set you up for the day and his food is always so fresh and tasty. 5* lucky to have such a good cafe in Thornton village.

Not even eaten here. I came on Friday last week as I work full time and haven’t spent time with my two daughters so wanted to take them for a nice breakfast in the morning. Heard about this place and the food so wanted to try it. When I walked in every table was full and I never felt more uncomfortable in a while when everyone stared at me and my two kids. I proceeded to walk to the counter where the owner was and he wasn’t polite at all. In fact he spoke to me in a horrible way and just made me feel like I was unwelcome because I had my two kids with me telling me it would be half an hour for food to take out and an hour wait for a table when I could clearly see most tables were eating already I knew he just wanted me gone. Not a single smile nothing I left thst cafe feeling low and ended up just eating at home instead. I will never ever go back to this place for how they treated me.

My two daughters and I went for lunch after a lovely walk up near Haworth. I think both of my daughters summed up our visit perfectly when they said "This is the best breakfast we have EVER HAD!" I couldn't fault it. The gentleman serving was polite and friendly, and the food was amazing. Not just the breakfast, but also the desserts we ate. We will definitely be back when we are next in the area.
