Where Can I Find The Savvy Baker Brownies And Matcha Bar In Trinity Leeds?

Get ready, because the Leeds food scene is about to get even sweeter. This Autumn, the hugely popular brownie brand, The Savvy Baker, is opening a brand-new permanent spot right inside Trinity Leeds. Imagine finishing a shopping trip and being able to grab one of those famous gooey brownies, a freshly baked cookie, or even a drink from their dedicated matcha bar. It’s a massive move for a local business that has a seriously inspiring story behind it.

From lockdown baking to a city centre spot

Lots of people picked up new hobbies during the lockdowns, right? Some learned to knit, others got into gardening. Well, a Leeds entrepreneur named Savannah Roqaa started baking brownies for her mates and family. And it turns out, her brownies were ridiculously good. Word got around, her social media blew up, and what started as kitchen experiments soon turned into a proper business. The Savvy Baker became a huge name in Leeds, moving from pop-ups to cafes, building a loyal community along the way. Now, this brilliant independent business is taking its biggest step yet by opening in the Leeds city centre shopping hub, Trinity Leeds.

It's a proper success story. Going from a home kitchen to a prime location in one of the city's most well-known destinations shows just how much people love what The Savvy Baker does. This isn't just another chain store; it's a local, independent brand that has grown because the community got behind it.

What's on the menu? (hint: it's not just brownies)

Of course, the famous hand-baked brownies will be front and centre. But that’s not all. The new store will be baking fresh cookies on-site, so you can get a proper behind-the-scenes experience and smell them as they come out of the oven. Imagine that amazing smell wafting through the shopping centre! The menu is set to be a dream for anyone with a sweet tooth.

But here's something extra special: the new Trinity Leeds location will have a dedicated matcha bar. If you’ve never tried it, matcha is a finely ground powder of specially grown and processed green tea leaves, and it makes a vibrant green, earthy-tasting drink. It’s The Savvy Baker’s best-selling drink, and you’ll be able to watch the baristas make yours fresh to order. Alongside the matcha, there will be a whole range of other hot and iced drinks, making it a perfect pitstop. To top it all off, there will be a cosy seating area, so you can actually sit down and enjoy your treats instead of having to find a bench somewhere. It's a massive upgrade to the local food and drink offering.

Here's a quick look at what to expect:

• Signature Brownies & Blondies
• Freshly Baked Cookies
• Dedicated Matcha Bar
• A variety of other hot and iced drinks
• A comfy seating area

A dream come true for a Leeds local

For the founder, Savannah Roqaa, this is more than just a new shop opening. It's a huge personal moment. She used to work at the Topshop in Trinity Leeds, so opening her very own store in the same building is a massive deal.

Savannah Roqaa, founder and director said:

“I’m beyond excited to be opening at Trinity Leeds, it’s a dream come true. From working at Topshop in the centre, to now launching my very my own store here, it’s a real full-circle, pinch-me moment. Trinity Leeds feels like the perfect home for The Savvy Baker, and I couldn’t be more excited sharing this moment with our amazing community. We’ll soon be announcing our official opening date, and I can’t wait to welcome everyone through the doors to enjoy our brownies, cookies, matcha and more.”

That feeling of excitement is shared by the whole community that has followed her journey. An official opening date will be announced soon, so everyone should keep an eye out for that big reveal.

Why Trinity Leeds is the perfect home

Trinity Leeds isn't just any shopping centre; it's a massive part of the city. It celebrated its 10th anniversary in March 2023 and is known for its iconic glass dome roof. It’s managed by Landsec, a company that specialises in creating big, popular urban spaces. They have a huge portfolio of properties and focus on building partnerships to make their locations better for everyone.

Steven Foster, the Centre Director at Trinity Leeds, is clearly buzzing about the new arrival:

“We’re thrilled to be welcoming The Savvy Baker to Trinity Leeds. It’s always exciting to support a much-loved Leeds independent and give them the platform to continue to grow within a prominent city centre setting. Savannah’s journey is a real success story, and we know our guests will be just as excited as we are to see her brand take this next step. The Savvy Baker will be a fantastic addition to our food and drink line-up, and we can’t wait for the doors to open.”

Welcoming a local star like The Savvy Baker fits perfectly with what Trinity Leeds is all about. It’s a place that already has over 40 restaurants, bars, and coffee shops, so adding an independent bakery with a unique matcha bar just makes the selection even better for visitors.

More than just a shopping trip

Adding The Savvy Baker makes a day out at Trinity Leeds even more of an experience. The centre is already home to the Everyman Cinema, which offers a comfy, stylish place to watch the latest films. The mix of shops, restaurants, and entertainment makes it a real community hub. It's a place where people meet, eat, and have a good time, not just shop.

The arrival of a beloved independent brand like The Savvy Baker, born and raised in Leeds, reinforces that community feel. It’s a great example of how big players like Landsec can form partnerships with local talent to create something special. For anyone who loves a good brownie or is curious about the matcha bar, the wait is almost over. And for those who like a good deal, remember that Trinity Leeds has a free membership scheme that gives you access to exclusive discounts across the centre. The opening of The Savvy Baker is set to be a delicious new chapter for both the brand and the iconic shopping destination.
