Had reason to take a friend for an early AM hospital appointment, them loiter in Skipton for a number of hours before collecting him after his cataract op.
I had a mooch around after my heart attack on a plate breakfast and mentally counted 9 independent coffees shops in addition to Starbucks, Costa & Cafe Nero. Not cafes, but coffee shops serving a few snacky things. They were all quite busy with a mixed range of clientele, heads buried in phones etc.
Obviously this coffee thing has totally passed me by....it must be a lifestyle thing.
If you are ever passing through Skipton, I recommend Coopers on Belmont Bridge. A small independent cafe with lovely staff and an extensive range of grub. Top quality ingredients...doesn’t bare comparison with Spoons and others of their ilk. 3 rashers excellent bacon, sausage, black pudding, egg, beans, mushrooms, beans, fried bread and proper thick brown toast & marmalade. Not the cheapest at £8.95 but sets you up for the day.
At least until early doors beer o’clock
