COFFEE shops are often at the heart of the community - and we're on the hunt to find the best in the Bradford district.

Today we launch the Telegraph & Argus Best Coffee Shop 2024 competition. 

But we need your help in our quest to find the best of the best in the Bradford area.

Nominations open today - Monday, November 11, and close on Sunday, November 17. 

Simply head to www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/TABEST or scan the QR code on the coupon printed in today's paper to shout up for your favourite coffee shop. 

From all the nominations, we will then draw up a shortlist of 10 establishments and will aim to write a profile on each of them before readers help to decide which is the best.

Speaking as nominations opened, T&A editor Nigel Burton said: "Coffee shops provide people with a neighbourhood place to do so many things - from spending quality time with family and friends, ducking in from the rain, taking a business meeting, or even just some time for themselves watching the world go by.

“Plenty of us will say that a visit to their favourite spot for a hot drink and maybe catching up with owners and regulars helps them to make it through the day, and for others the ambience makes them an essential part of a regular routine."

He added: “At the T&A, we want to celebrate the people behind these businesses, who work hard for their customers, opening varied hours and provide a great backdrop for their enjoyment. 

“That’s why we’re launching this competition to recognise the best of the best.

“In the next few weeks we’ll keep you updated on the coffee shops which feature in our competition, so keep your eyes open to see if your favourite is nominated.”

If you have a favourite coffee shop, make sure it's in with a chance of taking the top spot by nominating them today.
