Café 14: The Courtyard Café, Rabbit Hill Business Park near Boroughbridge.
Used as the HQ for today's TT I had lunch and a cake here plus two coffees for about £11. Sorry, but no photo as I was with a couple of others who didn't want to appear.
Lovely place, and one I've used previously. They're happy to be a HQ for TT events as well.

Café 15: Lockwood Scar Café, Huddersfield.
Now the plan was to head to the Sons of the North Café but it was fully booked, so my club's organised but no actual booking for a café stop ride ended up here. Budget food, budget cafe, decent service.
Sausage & tomato sandwich plus a coffee for £4.50.

Café No 6.
Ashleigh Road café within Ashleigh Rd playing fields in Swansea.
This café has been there forever and used to serve THE greatest pasties known to man.
Now they just serve coffee, tea etc.
Anyway, a large coffee and a Snickers bar for £1.80 is not to be sniffed at.
Few other pics of my jaunt around the Mumbles and Swansea.

Café 17: Windmill Coffee Shop, Thurlstone
I wasn't planning to go here, but arriving 15 minutes early for my club's 9am ride to Holmfirth the 8.45am meet riders left to the Windmills. After waiting for 5 minutes I thought "stuff it" and set off up the hill after them ... arriving at the café 20 minutes before they did
It's a bit pricey, but there's nothing else around except windmills; large coffee and toasted teacake with jam for £6.15. Then a second coffee and cake for £4.25. Well, I was waiting ...

Cafe No7, The Kitchen Deli in Pontardulais, nr Swansea.
Wales Online, the local website, published an article about a new cycle track which links the main seafront rd through Clyne valley and onto Pontardulais.
I knew part of the route, but other parts I didn't and some of it is brand new.
Did a 30 mile round trip from my house, stopping at this lovely little deli half way.
£9 for a huge ham and cheese panini and a large Cappuccino, and the staff there were so nice.
It has an outdoor area and both in and outside is dog friendly.

Café 18; Cafeteria Togoror, Morro Jable, Fuertaventura
Nothing open south to Faro de Jable, not even the three restaurants in the nearby port made from caravans. The A1 southbound
Caravan port town - dereliction all over:
So I rode back to Morro Jable and this was the first one open. Friendly, but no English so my Spanglish had to do.
Coffee, water and a welcome ham/cheese toastie for €3

Café 19: CAVE, Holmfirth
Not well enough for the GHS 100-in-8 today recovery from being ill continued with a short ride to Holmfirth.
This used to be BLOC, now called CAVE.
Coffee and cake for £8.20
It's a hipster café, with hipster pricing, and I don't have the beard / clothes / tattoo / earring to go with the lifestyle. Big square of cake though. And my Thompson Capella in the background. Which, given it's a bespoke build by a long-standing specialist Belgian brand, probably isn't hipster either.

Café 20: The Nook Farm Shop & Café, Alston
An unplanned stop on yesterday's 300km audax but it was so cold and wet I couldn't feel my hands or feet. Sausage sandwich, cake (gone!) and coffee (yet to arrive) for £10.40 with really good service.
Café 21: The Olive Tree, Newcastleton
Another unplanned stop - I'd intended on getting to Hawick but glad I stopped here. Lovely Biscotti cake (gone), cooked breakfast and coffee for £12.40. Wonderful service: if I lived nearby this would be my local.

Café 22: Fausto's, Mirfield.
I really should have put this in earlier, as I'm here probably once a week, but it now is, so ...
Part of my LBS, Sowerby Brothers Cycles in Mirfield, and a regular post-ride stop. Coffee is decent enough and reasonably priced.

Café 23: The Green House, Methley
Another one from last year, but this time with a giant, but very salty, sausage sandwich plus a coffee for £6.75
It's an outdoor cafe, but with an enclosed seating area amongst bushes.
