Came here during our cycling ride. Was such a charming spot — the kind of place you instantly feel relaxed in. Surrounded by lovely farm views, it’s perfect for a peaceful coffee break or a leisurely lunch. The food is fresh & delicious with great options for both light bites and heartier meals. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Whether you sit inside in the cosy café or outside enjoying the greenery, it’s a little a great spot to come to.

Popped in on the way to Leeds, just 5 minutes from the M42, for some takeaway lunch. What a lovely cafe. Good selection of sandwiches, jackets pota toes, sausage rolls etc plus lots of lovely cakes. Also they had some beautiful cut and potted flowers, at some really reasonable prices. Plenty of outside spaces and lots of ice creams for the hot weather as well! The team were lovely, really friendly and helpful. Food came quickly and was put in a bag for us. Love the fact they take your name and use it, a really nice personal touch.

Really wonderful find! Best Brie, Bacon and cranberry on sourdough I’ve had, followed by fabulous cake washed down with a superb Latte. Lovely staff, excellent service and as there’s a resident florist the beautiful smell of fresh flowers, you really could not ask for more!

A gem of a find. Being positioned on the edge of an industrial estate, you might be expecting a greasy spoon type establishment. Far from it. The Cutting Garden Cafe is just lovely from all sides. Good choice of excellent food & drinks, incredible cakes, fantastic service, and a relaxed vibe. Outside seating, and a pretty garden area, also means it can be enjoyed across the seasons. As a bonus, you can pick up some freshly cut flowers too. So pleased we tried this fab cafe.

I stopped off here for an afternoon whilst walking through Britain with my dog Tess as we raise funds for Motor Neurone Disease - part of the Walking Britain for Dad. Excellent service and very friendly staff. Good WiFi and most importantly super dog-friendly. Tess even got a little treat on the house. We felt extremely well rested and ready to continue on with our walk!

Fantastic little cafe ????????. I cycled over to judge for myself the service and cake portion size, as always I read between the lines of the whinging reviews. Small businesses trying to make a living and to please the general public must be hard at times. I can safely say the service was more than satisfactory , friendly staff ,cake portion size was very generous , the coffee was amazing and prepared freshly, It’s was an amazing shopper experience, and felt value for money , If you want fast food and coffee that is full of crap and you’re just a number and not a customer, I would suggest you go to a franchise shop . Personally I enjoy my time going to independent little coffee shops . I can safely say I had a great experience

The Cutting Garden Café is a charming place to relax and enjoy great food and drinks. Their coffee is excellent, and the cakes are simply amazing – fresh, rich in flavour, and beautifully presented. The staff are warm, welcoming, and ready with a smile, adding to the café’s friendly atmosphere. It’s also very convenient, with a bike stand right outside for cyclists, plenty of parking for those driving, and the choice of cosy indoor seating or a peaceful outdoor area surrounded by greenery. A perfect spot for a casual stop, meeting friends, or taking a break on a day out.
