The menu is very basic, the choice is either something on toast, a toastie or soup. There was no option for the type of bread- just sourdough. There were quite a few rather nice looking cakes... unfortunately only 1 was vegan. The rest had eggs or milk which is, of course, unnecessary. Cakes can be made just as delicious without any animal secretions. I was rather shocked to hear a lady talking loudly across the cafe, to one of the staff members, about eating a pork sandwich earlier too. A bit of tact would nice in a veggie cafe. The food was quite over priced for what it was. I had beans on toast £4.50) which was actually beans, next to toast, that I had to butter myself. My friend had a ch...
I visited Sift after reaching out to the owner, Rosie, about soy-free options. It’s a lovely, cozy café located in the heart of Otley, with convenient parking nearby. I ordered the courgette and mint soup, while my husband had the homemade beans on toast, along with two decaf Americano coffees. The food was delicious, and the service was friendly. Rosie had made a soy-free coconut and cherry cake just for me, which was a wonderful way to end a tasty lunch. I would definitely return if we’re in the area again!
Extremely friendly staff, excellent coffee with a choice of non dairy milk. Several vegan options I had the peanut butter granola, which was delicious, followed by brown toast with dairy free butter and jam. A great range of cakes, including several vegan ones. The pricing is a little random with avocado toast priced at £6.00 and toast with jam/peanut butter/marmite at £1.75. Still, I recommend it highly. The decor is lovely.
Sift is a fantastic new addition to the town. The highlight here is definitely the cakes, and the selection is consistently impressive. I have a gluten intolerance, but I can always find a delightful cake that suits my needs, so I never feel like I'm missing out. Although I'm not vegan, the café offers great vegan options, and honestly, when I try the vegan cakes, I don't feel like I'm missing dairy at all. Great job, Sift!

When I had lunch with my mother, I ordered the hummus toast, and she ordered the avocado toast. Both dishes were absolutely delicious, and the staff were wonderful. This update reflects my experience since the previous review on September 23, 2021.
A lovely little café which does a selection of vegan and gluten free cakes. I had white chocolate and blueberry which was yummy, along with the vegan hot chocolate (vegan marshmallows! also great. Will come back again and again.
