Today was 1 of the many trips to The Secret Cafe, amongst the best places I have visited for food. Food is well presented, tastes yummy, and the milkshakes prepared to perfection . Staff friendly, pleasant and welcoming, willing to listen and open to suggestions as to how you would like your food, basically if your fussy about food, they will try their best to prepare to your tastes

Lovely cafe, quite busy for a 'secret' cafe. We were walking along the canal when we saw a sign to this little gem. Looked like they had a lot of regulars. They have a range of food options. I got the BLT sandwich and a latte, the sandwich portion was more than enough. We also got their soup of the day which was cream of mushroom. My friends ordered omelette and eggs Benedict. Food were presented well, decent in portions, delicious and affordable. It has a homey atmosphere too. Can't fault this café.

We come here every time we are in the area. It’s never disappointed us with a great selection of freshly cooked food. Whether it’s full English or their selection of home made pies, unusual salads, sandwiches and even cream teas - they do the lot. Great food, great value and lovely atmosphere - it’s a winning formula. What’s more you can walk or cycle to/from here along the Rochdale canal path. Perfect.

A lovely first visit after a dog walk along the canal from Sowerby Bridge . An absolute gem of a place in a lovely setting. Friendly, welcoming staff. Vegetarian breakfast sandwich was tasty and good value. Cappuccino hot and frothy. I will be returning.

Best pies in Yorkshire. I had Steak and Kidney and wasn’t disappointed. Served with home made chips (like your Mum used to make) & mushy peas. Absolutely delicious. Helpful and friendly staff made a great lunch fantastic. I’ll be back.
