Bronte Bridge Cafe is a cozy, no-fuss spot that locals and visitors lean on for a hearty start or a relaxed break near Haworth’s historic center. Located just a stone’s throw from the Haworth KWVR train station, it fits naturally into a day spent exploring the railway heritage or the Brontë Parsonage museum within easy walking distance.

The cafe’s atmosphere feels comfortably informal, run by a friendly couple who know their regulars and welcome newcomers alike. It’s the kind of place where you can easily pop in after a brisk walk or a train ride for a simple breakfast or a warming cuppa.

Breakfast here, especially the English Breakfast option, holds strong appeal for families and visitors looking for solid, homemade food without fuss or steep prices. The menu’s flexibility caters well to varying tastes and dietary needs, making it a practical stop for groups or solo adventurers. Younger visitors and locals often combine a meal with a trip to the nearby park, making it an integral part of weekend routines.

The cafe’s reputation for reliable, unfancy comfort food is backed up by generous portions and a welcoming vibe, with homemade cakes and good quality tea and coffee rounding out the experience. Whether you’re just off the train or winding down after walking through Haworth’s main street, the warmth of this spot matches well with its setting behind the train station and at the foot of Butt Lane.

Best times to visit include mornings to mid-afternoon, particularly when you want a quiet corner away from the busier tourist trails nearby. It suits those who appreciate a straightforward, relaxed cafe where the owners remember your name and the focus is on good food, strong tea, and easy conversation.

Friendly owners. Great home made food at very reasonable prices. Customer focused, flexable menu. the Haworth KWVR train station is less than 1 minute away, with the famous Haworth main st. & Bronté Parsonage museum just a few minutes walk away.

Great mug of tea (and cappuccino), just what you need after a day of trains and walking - homemade cakes and cookies delicious. One of our party had a ham and cheese toastie, who declared it very filling and tasty. Very friendly and welcoming - perfect Ideally located near Haworth Train Station.

Very simple unpretentious cafe in a semi-hidden location as you're mounting the hill just past the railway bridge next to Haworth station. Perfect place to get a sausage roll or a full English breakfast as you're waiting for the adorable steam train to Keighley. (Note that it's closed Mondays and Tuesdays.)
