A popular biker café on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales has been praised by visitors for its hearty breakfasts, friendly staff, and welcoming atmosphere.
Manor Farm Café, at Bellerby near Leyburn, has become a well-known stopping point for motorcyclists heading into the Dales, while also attracting locals, families, and tourists.
The café describes itself as a “gateway to the Yorkshire Dales” and offers breakfast, lunch, and refreshments for those setting off on, or returning from, a day exploring the area.
It is particularly popular with bikers, with a motorcycle workshop and a shop selling motorcycle clothing and protective equipment also based on the site.
Recent visitors have praised both the food and the atmosphere.
One customer said: “I love stopping here for a coffee and food.

"Amazing place, atmosphere, and people.”
Another was particularly impressed by their lunch, describing it as the “best quarter pounder with cheese I've had for years” and also praising the friendly staff.
Breakfast is another major draw.
One visitor said they had enjoyed a “lovely breakfast” before describing Manor Farm as a “lovely little place” they would definitely recommend.
Another biker, visiting for the first time, called it a “great biker cafe” and said they would “definitely be returning” after having an “excellent breakfast”.
The café can become particularly busy when motorcycle events are taking place, but customers have praised staff for coping with the crowds.
One visitor said the team were “very hard-working and friendly” during a busy Saturday when a KTM event was being held.
Their group of four ordered large breakfasts and praised the service despite the number of people at the venue.
For some customers, Manor Farm has also proved to be an unexpected find.
One visitor said they had been in Leyburn on a Sunday when other places were closed and spotted the café on Google Maps.
Their wife ordered a hot bacon and egg sandwich while they chose the mega breakfast.
They described the food as “deliciously tasty” and called Manor Farm “a little gem of a place hidden away”.

The location itself is part of the appeal.

Regular Thursday bike nights are held when scheduled, running into the evening.
The café is normally open Tuesday to Friday from 9am until 3pm and Saturday and Sunday from 8am until 4pm, although off-season opening times can change.
