Pickles Delicatessen & Tearooms

A treasure in Baildon, a quality café in a historical building, with great Friday night dinners. Cheese scones are particularly good, always fresh.

Edit: after 2 years I decided to venture to pickles one again All I can say is how much they’ve changed in the 2 years. Still quite pricey but fantastic food and very well cooked. Currently eating my takeaway sandwich and its so yummy!
I’m not going to delete my original post because I want to share how much of a convert I am! August 2010-​To be honest I went to pickles with a positive attitude. I’ve been told about the cheeses and deli counter etc which is something I that I feel Baildon has been missing. I decided to eat in and ordered the Pitta and Houmous light bite as I thought this would be quick and I didn’t have much time to spare. This overpriced dish took nearly 30 minutes to prepare coming to my table with the tiniest pot of houmous and one and a half pittas. Oh and there was also the salad garnish which came with added salmon flakes from a different dish. Food contamination?
The décor of the place is shabby chic which I feel works well within the venue but the waitresses (which by the way there are far too many) dress was scruffy and their attitude was unorganised and blasé.
The only good thing about the lunch was the carrot cake.
Personally, I’ll stick to some of the better cafes Baildon has to offer.

Good food, exellent service

Baildon has gone up in the world! This shiny new deli and tearooms is a glorious, scrumptious, stylish and very, very welcome addition to Baildon village. It has been over two years in the planning, as it is in a building that had been lying empty for years and getting hold of it took a while. But the owner has been planning it for all that time and it really shows. Everything from the vintage restored furniture, to the individually sourced picquot ware teapots has been lovingly put in place to great effect. The tea is fantastic, the coffee is spot on and their range of deli food and groceries is impressive. They’ve been open two weeks, so the menu is growing and they are just finding their feet, but their delicious homemade cakes and food have sold out most days and the place has been buzzing every time I’ve popped in.
Their upstairs tearoom is delightful. Why not pop in for afternoon tea, read the papers… before crossing the road to Emma to buy a beautiful bunch of flowers and put you squarely in somebodies good books!
Baildon moor is less than 10 minutes walk away, as is the golf course. This place is a very hot tip — well worth a visit.
