Cooper’s Coffee shop is a delightful place to stop for a coffee or a meal in the up and coming Farsley Town Street. Its warm and cosy inside, and in fine weather you can sit outside in the enclosed terrace – a lovely sun trap. The menu, especially the selection on the blackboard is always tempting, and the homemade cakes are always popular. My favourites are the custard tarts.Coopers Coffee Shop serves Fairtrade tea and coffee so for Fairtrade supporters this café is a must. Click here to visit Coopers Cafe
