Valentines Afternoon Tea
Dear Customers
It is with great sadness that after 10 years of business I have had to take the decision to close Cafe J with immediate effect until March 2021.
The current situation with Covid 19 and the instability in the hospitality sector makes the running of two businesses unviable.
We will be constantly reviewing the situation and hope to open up a pop up Winter Wonderland for the month of December.
Please check our FaceBook Page for updated information.
In the meantime I would like to thank my many loyal customers who have supported Cafe J over the years.
Stay safe & stay in touch

All our food is home cooked and prepared to order. Our popular daily specials board changes frequently and offers an eclectic mix of world fusions and distinctive flavours. Café J is proud to source and use local produce from across the Wharfe and Aire Valley, so when you’re enjoying your food you can also enjoy the fact that you’re helping your local community.
During the summer months, our opening hours are extended and we introduce our Afternoon Teas on our glorious outdoor terrace. During the winter you can ‘warm your cockles’ with a home-made soup next to our roaring fire. Of course, you can simply drop in for a cuppa or a glass of wine ‘al-fresco’ after perusing the nearby shops that Ilkley has to offer!
Themed Nights
Themed nights at Cafe J you can really sink your teeth into. We open our doors to the evening air and welcome our guests to sit, relax and enjoy a themed inspired night including a 3 course meal and live music.

Over the years, Café J has successfully recreated the tastes of the world; from Italy to Morocco, Portugal to Spain, France to Thailand and India to Greece.
During the summer months, Café J also offers barbeque themed nights, where guests can relax on the terrace in the early evening haze, whilst taking in the beautiful barbeque flavours as they trail across The Grove! Café J has also recreated the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’, right on The Grove!
Café J’s themed nights prove popular with guests, not surprisingly with prices starting from £19.95 per person for a 3 course meal! The night also includes live music where Elvis has frequented the building.

Down in Ilkley on holiday and found this lovely place. Great staff who were happy to chat. Stands out by being that bit different.
