Café 58, week 44: Cafe 53, Mirfield
Only a short ride today following my Covid booster yesterday as I'm feeling a bit 'bleurgh' from that and then visiting my mum (terminal cancer diagnosis on Friday) in the afternoon with a long drive to/from *
Instant coffee and a thick caramel triangle for £3.75. There are only two café's open here on a Sunday, with loads open Monday to Saturday - I've already stopped at Cupishi, which is the other one.
(Bike, helmet, food, drink and menu all in the same photo: ta-da)
* Five years ago when they moved from a remote village in the Yorkshire Dales for easier access to things I suggested they move closer than the then 50 miles away. Such as nearby.
Taking my suggestion they moved further away from me, but closer to their brother/sister, and are now 80 miles away.

I am so very sorry about your mum
Cafe 33 Dales Bike Centre. So good we went three times 
. About £13 for two breakfast sandwiches and two hot drinks. Very extensive cake selection. Chilled vibe.
Cafe 34 Muker Village Shop and Tearoom. More excellent cake. No idea of cost as we randomly bumped into Mr Helen's aunt and uncle who insisted on paying.
Just to prove I did some walking and earned my café stop this time.😃

The Dales Bike Centre café is SPECTACULAR!! Jealous!
Have you been since they opened the new bit?

No! I didn’t recognise your backdrop and googled it to check it was the same place I went to! It looks amazing

Café 59, week 45: Whisk, Walton near Wakefield
Looks lovely, with some outdoor seating but nowhere to put a bike. Also, they left me waiting to order for 10 minutes whilst the four staff kept walking past without acknowledgement despite being half-empty - maybe short-staffed but not somewhere I can recommend currently as a result.
Coffee and a caramel square for £5.15

Café 60, Week 45: The Tiny Tea Room, Rodley, Leeds
An unplanned visit this as I'd decided simply to extend my commute to get Turf zones out west along the Leeds-Liverpool canal. The final zone that was accessible on a road bike is outside this café. No 'food/drink' photo I'm afraid as the owner was chatting to me about the bike for 20 minutes.
Large coffee and a lemon cheesecake for £6.00.
Oh, and I'll be back

Café 56. The Bridge Bakehouse, Whaley Bridge
Absolutely superb. Fabulous selection of sandwiches, all of which (from our group) were delicious. Amazing selection of cakes (again, all of which were delicious). Excellent coffee. Can’t decide if this rockets to the top of my 2022 café experiences! Hugely recommended!
