Very nice cafe/bakery with a wide selection of baked goods. I’d come back many times to try it all! It’s popular but there’s plenty of seating. I tried the spanakopita croissant, which harkens to the Greek masterpiece but is more of a croissant. I enjoyed it! Very flaky. I also got the peanut butter and jam brownie which was decent. Very dense and flavorful, not overly rich or sweet. I love the tile work throughout the place.

Food is clean (see 📸) and freshly cooked, resulting in delicious clean taste, based on the content on my 🍽. A freshly made granola mix and a light/fluffy blueberry compote which is not overly sweet. The poached egg was perfectly done, resting in the right amount of run of the yoke. The person who cleared our plates & bought the bill was engaging and friendly (can't say the same for initial contact staff). The price for the meals was appropriate for the content & the stlye of cooking. Don't bring a lot of items with you as the space can get tight with many a customers.

The best breakfast spot in Leeds. It’s close to the train station, so if you arrive early, it’s the perfect first schedule before exploring the city. All the menu items are delicious!

This place was an absolute delight! We stopped for lunch on a gorgeous, sunny day and the atmosphere was vibrant and busy—clearly a very popular spot. The menu had a lovely selection of food, but I was truly blown away by the amazing specialty coffee and the incredible pastries. ​I couldn't leave without taking some with me for later! I can't recommend this gem enough for anyone visiting Leeds. A well-deserved 5 stars! ☕

A bit disappointed when I learned that ordering a dirty chai latte meant ordering a chai latte and also a full shot of espresso on the side. Other cafes charge 50p or so for an extra shot in a drink. I was charged £3 for an extra shot. Didn’t learn that until I got the bill. Food was great though.
