Nestled away down a side street near Wakefield Cathedral is one of the city’s hidden gems. I have been a patron of the café for many years and have never had bad food there. It has a relaxed if slightly eccentric atmosphere. It would be a good place to take children as the staff are very patient and friendly. The café serves a number of hot and cold sandwiches; however, as many of these are freshly made or warmed for you, you don’t want to be in a hurry to get anywhere. You also may need to queue for a few minutes as it has become very popular at dinner time. If you are going in for a late breakfast they serve croissants and crock madams which are excellent. (My sister is reading over my shoulder and has said to also mention how good the soup is, I bow to her superior knowledge on all things soup related). The cake is also wonderful and they aren’t scanty with their portions, the tiffin is excellent, but you may need someone to share it with otherwise you will eat it all and feel fat afterwards. All the cake as far as I know is made onsite and it's worth going in to the café to see the size of them sitting behind the counter.
It is very rare that you go into a café these days and say that it has real character. I can however say it of this establishment; people who go love it and even if you feel depressed going in something will happen in the café to make you smile. It has big windows on the bottom floor which if you can get a window seat are brilliant for people watching. The café also does a range of teas, coffees and soft drinks. Last summer they did a very nice home made orange juice that made you feel virtuous just looking at it. If I had a friend coming to Wakefield for the day I would definitely take them to Mucca Mocca.
