As I'm not a coffee drinker, I tend not to visit the likes of Starbucks, Costa or Cafe Nero very…read moreoften but when I do, I appreciate a nice, tasty, possibly different hot chocolate. I became accustomed to the Starbucks Caramel Hot Chocolate and was disappointed when I visited this Cafe Nero with my mother and they didn't have Caramel Hot Chocolate on the menu. Luckily, the super-helpful guy behind the counter said that he could put a shot of caramel in my Hot Chocolate along with the usual cream and marsh mallow delights and it was delicious! They are also very accomodating to my mother's weak cappucino requests. There's always a wide range of freshly baked and prepared snacks (sandwiches, cakes, cookies etc).

Fairly quick service, and careful with covid restrictions. Had a bit of a facelift and the quality…read moreis what you would expect from a starbucks, let us have a slightly off menu order too, which as a none coffee drinker I was grateful of. Don't know how you get Hill from Clare though!

Costa Coffee is a francise coffee house and was always my favourite when I was in Leeds. It was…read moremore relaxed than Starbucks and didn't feel as artificial. I prefer the coffee here - there isn't as much choice as Starbucks with the endless variations, but the coffee tastes more authentic and the staff feel more genuine. The location in Teesside park in the middle next to the public loos is easy to get to and can't be missed - you can sit and relax while watching all the folks rush by with their shopping (and you don't have to climb any stairs or go through other shops to get to it - so its easier if you've done a bit of shopping yourself )

This cafe, located below the Castlegate Shopping Centre, has a vast seating area so you'll have no…read moreproblem squeezing in. If you enter from the shopping centre entrance, you won't see the counter and will have to walk round the L shaped dining hall to locate it. The dining hall itself feels more like a school or college canteen and lacks the comfort of a smaller cafe and the seats are attached to the floor so you can't adjust you distance from the table. You have to purchase your food and drinks at the counter as there is no table service. The food and drinks are reasonably priced and tasty enough but I'd recommend a visit to a more intimate, cosy cafe in the town centre.

The Galley is located under the Castlegate Shopping Center it was originally with department store…read moreUptons which closed down I think around 2001 but The Galley stayed open. The Galley is a large cafe which has 2 sides it used to be one side for non smokers and a side for smokers. The staff are quite friendly but my main problem with The Galley is it's never clean the cutlery always seems to have pieces of food left on them. I have had previous problems with The Galley such as the Milkshakes have been off and a few years back they served us a beacon sandwich in a moldy bun though we got our money back. The breakfast is the only decent meal I think that's worth the money. Most of the stuff The Galley do use is bought from Iceland I've seen the chef buy food from there on a regular bases. Disabled access is available from the outside entrance there is a ramp you can go down which takes you directly to The Galley which it's very easy access. Overall I don't really recommend The Galley.
