I tried new Holmfirth town centre cafe and straight away could 'feel the love'

We were thrilled to spot a wonderful feature this week in Yorkshire Live, where one of the region’s most experienced reporters paid a visit to The Archive Cafe in Holmfirth to see what the buzz was about.

The review, titled "I tried new Holmfirth town centre cafe and straight away could 'feel the love',"- captures exactly what Yasi and Rochelle have strived to build: a place that feels less like a business and more like a home.

About the Article Rather than just a standard food review, the piece dives into the atmosphere of the transformed Barclays Bank building. The reviewer highlights the unique "Ceylon Sunrise"—our spicy scrambled egg dish with Serengeti Beans—and recounts a lovely interaction regarding just how much spice a Yorkshire palate can handle!

What stands out most in the write-up is the sense of community. The article notes that from the moment you step in, there is a distinct vibe of being welcome, valued, and "at home" among the books and wooden pews.
