Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Heckmondwike

"Wapentake is a café, pub and bakery designed to create a little piece of Yorkshire. Although I think of Wapentake as more of a pub than a café in that they serve up local beers, Yorkshire puddings (and Yorkshire pudding burgers!), and crisp butties, they absolutely function as a café too. They focus on all things local, with coffee from a family-run company in Skipton called Coffee Care, tea from Taylors of Harrogate and all cakes are baked on site."

"If it’s vegan Sunday lunch you want, then it’s vegan Sunday lunch that you’ll get. Wapentake serves up a banging Sunday roast that can be vegan or veggie, and at just £7 you’d be a fool not to try it. Their main thing is brunches though, and they have a really decent selection of veggie and vegan options on their brunch menu."

"Dedicated to the loveliness of Yorkshire, Wapentake is an artisan bakery, café, and bar. While not exclusively vegetarian, Wapentake does try to offer vegetarian versions of every dish that includes meat. Now that’s a commitment."

"Art lovers should make a beeline for Café 164, where they’ll find an impressive selection of food and drink alongside rotating exhibits of art and photography lining the walls. A selection of sandwiches are served on delicious ciabatta and focaccia bread, baked fresh on site with a selection of soups and salads completing the menu. Coffee comes courtesy of local roasters and there’re plenty of dairy-free milk options."

"You’ve got the best of both worlds at Cafe 164 – it’s part-cafe and part-art gallery. It’s set within The Gallery at 164, so after browsing the latest exhibition, treat yourself to something to eat and drink. This is the perfect place to try something new because they serve guest blends from Northern coffee roasters, alongside a range of loose leaf teas."

"Head to Church Street to Humpit, the Hummus and Pita Bear where the menu is totally vegan!. Their menu has three items; salad bowls, hummus bowls and loaded pitas. You can choose your ingredients for the salad bowl, and the hummus bowls and loaded pitas come with chickpeas, pickles, olives, falafel and more."

"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. The Humpit began in 2014 with a dream to create real authentic hummus and to be able to enjoy it with a warm pita. Five years later, the Humpit has established itself in the York community."

"I usually get the filled pitta which is a good place to start if you're not sure what to order. The staff are lovely, very energetic, and happy to accommodate to your preferences if you do not like specific items. yorkpitasaladstuffedcauliflower"

"One of England's most impressive collections of sculpture is scattered across the formidable 18th-century estate of Bretton Park, 200-odd hectares of lawns, fields and trees. A bit like the art world's equivalent of a safari park, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park showcases the work of dozens of sculptors both national and international. The park is partly a homage to local heroes Barbara Hepworth (1903−75), who was born in Wakefield, and Henry Moore (1898−1986), though more of their works are on display at the Hepworth Wakefield."

"This outdoor gallery near Wakefield is in a former 18th-century estate encompassing more than 500 acres of fields, lakes, exotic trees,…"
