“ I went for a day trip to Wakefield from Leeds on 23rd May. The first thing I wanted was a good coffee shop with good cakes. I passed quite a few coffee shops which were mediocre, until I walked into "Marmalade on the Square" I saw amazing cakes! A lovely helpful lady said they were homemade, and she happened to be the manager! I loved my cake and coffee and I can't wait to go there again ”
“ Well what a little gem of a place. The food for our cream tea was plentiful and good quality. Staff were friendly and helpful, filling my coffee as the last drop was drained. Friendly atmosphere and obviously had plenty of regulars with one guy calling it "the best bacon butty in Wakey" I will be returning at a later date to test that one out. Overall, a good quality cafe with a wide range of options throughout the day :) ”
“ Visited here with my three friends to celebrate the pending arrival of my little boy. We were treated so well, they’d popped us in a lovely quiet corner by the window upstairs. The food was absolutely delicious, wow, the cakes are amazing! Staff are so friendly, no wonder it’s always so busy here it’s an absolute gem of a place to visit in Wakefield. ”
“ Lovely cosy cafe with great vegan and gluten free options! Sandwiches, paninis, cakes, hot drinks. Staff was super lovely and cheerful. Really decent prices too. We'll definitely be back and will try the afternoon tea sometime! ”
“ What an incredible delight afternoon tea at Marmalade on the Square was!! The words "unlimited tea" are like music to my ears so it was an easy choice to select this option. The difficult choice was which cake to include in the event, there are so many absolutely beautiful hand made cakes. You can really tell that somebody cares! We went for the nutella cookie cupcake (who makes cupcakes from cookie dough?.... a genius in my opinion ) and a slice of oreo cake, which kind of just tasted a bit like chocolate cake with more vanilla icing on it but hey, that's still a very very tasty cake! Service was very quick and they couldn't stand having people with luke warm tea, bringing fresh pots like clockwork keeping the whole experience top notch, nothing but respect for the attention to detail on all aspects. So what isn't so great.... we chose to sit next to a window and it was sunny, got a bit hot in my jumper. Erm, its really really hard to say what could have been better in honesty. Delightful venue, incredible service, free flowing tea and tasty treats. 10/10 - a must! ”

“ Very cosy, homely, tasty. Excellent service and atmosphere ”
“ Lovely warm welcome, great service & good food. Visited with a friend I ordered the full breakfast which was delicious (my egg was perfect ) my friend ordered pancakes with bacon & maple syrup which were also well cooked and delicious. Tea was nice & hot & plenty in teapot for two people, love the vintage style tea cups and saucers, we will definitely come back again. ”
