Cafe Patisserie

Walk past the window on Tickhill Street and you'll clock the display—proper French patisseries, not the mass-produced stuff. Inside it's compact, unpretentious, the kind of place where regulars know their order and the staff remember your name. You're getting quality here: the croissants have actual butter lamination, the éclairs aren't rock hard, and the coffee's decent enough that you'll want to linger. It's become something of a fixture in this part of Bradford, the sort of spot locals defend fiercely because it actually does the basics right.
