Absolutely gorgeous building and a fine example of Bradford’s heritage. The most magical book shop I’ve ever visited with a wide range of stock. A stones throw away from The Broadway shopping centre so a great location too.

Sunbridgewells is totally unique- nothing like it in Leeds or Manchester. I go for the Real Ale with Wallers my favourite- always buzzing, with a very friendly vibe. Like a living museum it has a tremendous feelgood factor when vibrant. Personally I hope it thrives for years to come, but when visitors from other towns and cities have satisfied their curiosity, I feel it will suffer. Bradford's demographics are just not right for sufficient footfall.

Great little sweet shop with a very friendly & helpful service. I was hunting for a sweet shop to do some sweet cones for my sons 11th Birthday party...didn’t find anywhere all wk until I walked into this cute little shop....I needed them the next day by the time I came here, and was told she could make them for me there & then! I couldn’t get personalised labels at such short notice but I was given some blank tags I could use to do this myself. What a gem of a place with outstanding service. I was chuffed to bits!!! Thank you soooo much - they went down a treat ????. Also this shop sells lots of variety of ‘suitable for vegetarian’ ‘halal’ sweets. I will defo be going back!

Reviewed By dodo029 - Yorkshire Dales National Park, United Kingdom
Smallest ice cream is £2 for one scoop. I take my children regularly and tbh this size is too big and quite expensive when purchasing 4 or 5 ice creams at a time. Would be good to have a smaller ice cream available for the younger children at a cheaper price eg £1.20 to £1.50 would be better. Lovely delicious ice cream particularly the salted caramel and Hokie Pokie (or Hocus Pocus as they have to call it now) Friendly staff and lovely little farmyard to look around. Take cash though as do not accept any cards and no ATM nearby.
