    Bijou vegetarian and vegan cafΓ©. Friendly service, beautiful coffee and the most amazingly delicious Guinness and chocolate cake. Possibly the best cake I've ever eaten. Will definitely be back.

    OMG, not going to lie, it was the first cafe I saw and needed coffee. However, this turned out to be a wee gem of a place. The coffee was really, really nice. Then I noticed that the serve a London Fog tea. This is only the second place I have found that do it and it's amazing. Whilst talking to the ladies behind the counter, my hubby noticed that did a London fog cake. Tried that. OMG. Absolutely delicious.... this is a must for anyone in Otley. Highly, highly recommend.

    I absolutely love this place. The decor, the plants and most of all the food. Takes me an age to choose as there's so many scrummy vegan options. Really good quality filling lunch/brunch menu. Totally delicious πŸ˜‹πŸƒπŸŽ

    Came here with my mum midweek for lunch and to try the cakes (they post each days selection on Instagram) coffee was served quickly and they have iced coffee on for summer. We both had the avocado on toast which my mum particularly liked as she said the seasoning and seeds on it made it different. I had a white chocolate and blackberry cake which was really good with a good icing to cake ration- I would visit again.

    We ordered a chocolate & peanut butter cake for our son’s first birthday (for us adults to eat 🀣)and it was absolutely delicious & stunning. All our guests loved it. Thank you!

    An awesome selection of cakes from @siftotley who are doing a takeaway service during lock-down. Currently open 9am-3pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday. A great selection of cakes, including vegan and gluten-free options, for take-away. It was perfect for our visit over to see friends in Leeds while we were away for a few days in Otley. The photo doesn't do them justice, but they were all very tasty πŸ™‚

    Stopped by here with friends to have a coffee and cake, we fancied an iced oat mocha and the lovely lady managed to create a perfect drink despite it not being on the menu. The cakes are delicious! A lovely place to have an afternoon pick me up.

    Absolutely love Sift! We are regular customers, nearly every week. The owner Rosie and her team are lovely and friendly. The decor is gorgeous and the coffee & cake absolutely delicious. Plenty of vegan options too. Highly recommend!

    Great little vegetarian cafe. Don't be fooled by their size, they have upstairs seating too. Very tasty coffee and grilled cheese sandwich.

    My fave coffee shop! Everyone who works there is so friendly and helpful. The drinks are great, the cakes are next level and the food is amazing. As someone who is gluten free, it's amazing to get such tasty cakes and such a variety of flavours!

  • 5/5 Richard F. 1 year ago on Google
    Why have I not been here before?? I've past you so many times & not ventured in. It's interesting how you can be so blinkered & miss out on something truly amazing. We called in purely by chance & enjoyed great service, amazing coffee & some wonderful, tasty cake. This was a day of new discovery & we will be regulars from now on. πŸ‘

    This is our favorite place to get breakfast or afternoon tea when we are in Otley. Definitely a must if you are in Otley. All their menu items are delicious and the teas spectacular. The ladies are nice, helpful and friendly.

  • 5/5 Joanne B. 1 year ago on Google
    Called in for a take out coffee and cake. Lovely welcoming staff even though they were busy. The coffee was delicious as was the cake. This was the first time calling in and will definitely return .

  • 5/5 TheStonecoldbush 1 year ago on Google
    Really friendly staff and awesome cakes. PLEASE ditch the masks though it’s really off-putting walking in to no smiles or β€˜hello’. I don’t feel like you can interact with customers properly and it’s makes people uncomfortable. Masks are not required any more and they don’t work anyway.

  • 5/5 Sophia F. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing cakes (can't believe vegan cake can taste so good!) and the best hot chocolate around. Since discovering it's become my regular destination - lovely staff and a great selection of new cakes to try each visit
