Relaxing veggie cafe with good options for lunch. Had the small vegan breakfast plate, great value and selection of tasty food, small plate was sufficient! I liked the community atmosphere and very handy for the train station. And friendly service there too!

They make the best dirty chai latte, the staff are friendly and a great view of the station. My favourite coffee shop in Huddersfield!

The people are lovely, the cake is vegan and tastes fantastic (lemon drizzle is my fave) the coffee is the nicest I have had in ages, no burnt oat milk. Plus the w loo is huge which is a nice change.

Lovely cafe. So glad we spotted it from the train station! Lovely and cosy inside. They have books and games. The food is vegan and vegetarian. We had a vegan sausage roll which they heated up for us, it was delicious! The toilets are very nice as well with emergency hygiene products available. Love the blackboard with all the messages on it too! Overall a wonderful experience and would recommend to anyone visiting Huddersfield.

Beautiful little place across the courtyard from the train station. Fantastic inclusive artwork inside and a commitment to supporting community. Had a lovely cup of tea and some poached eggs on toast that were absolutely perfect. (so cheap too!) Couldn't recommend enough!

Hive Cafe is one of the best little cozy Cafe’s in Huddersfield and it’s strategically located opposite the Train station, the Staffs are beyond amazing and the menu is so unique. Also they have a well-being Group once a week and I think it’s such a lovely concept. If you ever feel lonely and want to meet new people in a new city especially if you are a student I recommend checking HIVE out. They also have books and Games that you can play or You can just go seat down and enjoy the ambiance.
