Coffee & Clay

you're on high street in skipton, which is a market town that still actually functions like one, with independent businesses doing real trade rather than sitting around for tourists. coffee & clay sits at number 14, and if you're moving through the dales or just have an hour between the canal and the castle, this is where you stop. skipton has enough foot traffic to sustain good things, and this place has held its reputation locally, which in a town this size means something, because word gets around fast both ways. the kind of spot you come back to when you're in the area again without really planning to. worth timing a visit for a mid-morning flat white before the high street gets busy.
