It's a veggie cafe too!
the smiths were never the same once dale hibbert left.
Give it a miss and go to the bare arts brewery and sample a crate of ale instead.
I had a great time there and in the next room was a gathering of folk who turned up with musical instruments and just chill out drinking and singing all night, a real bunch of cool cats they are, brilliant atmosphere. (Is it still there ?)

A brewery in Tod? Last one I remember was the Robinwood up the Burnley Road, which owned the Staff of Life. Do tell more...wait - I know where that is, near the bottom of the Bacup Road, drive past it regular enough...

Dale choose to leave himselve cause he heard Morrissey and Marr were about to make it a 'gay' band', which cannot be verified but that's what Dale says', in the Mozipedia

A musician is full of beans for his new career after swapping the recording studio for a coffee bar.
Dale Hibbert’s daily routine used to involve giving Morrissey a lift to rehearsals on his bike in the early days of The Smiths, but he has now settled into a daily grind of coffee beans after opening Kava on Halifax Road, Todmorden.
Dale, who was the band’s original bass player, says he is much happier in this new chapter of his life.
“It’s going much better than expected,” Dale said.
“We have got lots of regulars now, people who come in four or five times a week.
“We seem to have been embraced by Todmorden and welcomed to their world.
After a successful spell in the music industry, which included becoming a partner at Spirit Studios, he had a change of direction and spent a decade as a horticulturalist.
But then he discovered a new passion - coffee.
After spending time living in Australia and Prague, he returned to the UK with the aim of setting up his own coffee bar.
On a visit to Todmorden, he found the ideal location and served his first latte at the premises last month.
While living in Prague he met his wife Sveta, and they run the business together.
Their time in Prague has influenced how they present drinks at Kava - the Czech word for coffee.
Each order is served with a glass of water to cleanse the palate between sips, as is the Czech custom.
Other worldwide customs are also incorporated, such as serving tea in a Japanese cast iron pot to keep it warmer for longer.
“A musician’s lifestyle didn’t suit me,” he said. “I’m much happier doing this.
“We hope to be here for quite a while.”
