Another visitor, who also lives in Australia, went even further, saying: "This is the best coffee we have ever had.

"Even in London during our stay, nothing beats this place."

Wildish opened in July 2022 after its owners spent three years living and working in a remote part of the Yorkshire Dales.

They said the isolation had begun to take its toll, while their growing collection of bags was also taking over their home.

When the opportunity arose to take on a shop in Pateley Bridge, they decided to combine several of their passions under one roof.

The owners say: "We love bags, great coffee, beautiful things and awesome people.

"Opening the store has brought all those things together for us and more."

Wildish now combines a speciality coffee shop with a store selling British-made bags and other products.

Coffee is at the centre of many of its reviews.

One couple said they discovered Wildish on a Saturday and enjoyed their drinks so much that they returned the following day.

They wrote: "If you like coffee this place is for you.

"Amazing coffee, great service, friendly atmosphere.

"We will definitely be back."

Another reviewer described their decaf flat white as the "best" they had tried and praised the store for being dog friendly.

A local customer called Wildish a "firm fave", adding that "so much love and attention" went into making the coffee.

Visitors can also choose from different coffees and brewing styles.

One reviewer recommended the Workhorse pour-over, describing the range as "interesting and tasty but unpretentious".

Another customer said the choice of blends and single-origin coffees was enough to "bring you back for more".

The food has attracted praise too, with customers mentioning cakes, wraps and sweet treats.

One reviewer described the coffee as "divine", adding that the Syrian wraps were delicious and the cake "gets better with every bite".

Another visitor singled out the carrot cake, calling it the best they had eaten in some time.

Wildish has also developed a reputation for its atmosphere.

Visitors describe it as relaxed, stylish and welcoming, with several reviewers saying staff and locals are particularly friendly.

A family visiting from Cheyenne, Wyoming, said their lattes were "excellent" and praised both the staff and local customers for being welcoming.
