    We are so glad to discover this little gem in Leeds. This cafe is located near the Leeds train station and Granary Wharf. They serve excellent hot and cold coffee. The coffee was robust. You can even stroll here after a long day at work or travelling. On top of that, this cafe is super dog-friendly. So, why not bring along your fur kids and enjoy a cup of great coffee?

    My preferred place for a quiet Sunday morning coffee. Good coffee, nice staff. Great location, as you can sit out near the canal.

    Lovely little coffee shop celebrating the coffee culture with books to read, coffee accessories to buy, and makes a fantastic brew.

    Unfortunately, there are not many local cafés that are easily accessible from Leeds city centre. However this place is definitely amongst the few that were impactful enough to be breathtakingly memorable. The food, deliciously filling! I really appreciate the thick cut of the avocado on toast, making it a great breakfast option for a price point that seemed criminally low. The coffee, a tasteful piece of art! Before drinking, I felt obligated to take a photo in an attempt to capture the local talent behind running this checkpoint hidden in the bustling city centre. The mocha was sweet, frothy and chocolatey yet remained grounded by coffee's bitter nature. Despite this café being relatively hidden, it was easily accessible from the train station with it being within a 2 minute walk from the back entrance/exit on the other side of the canal so there is no excuse to pass by this gem. Finally, the atmosphere! As well as a place to snack, cafés are also a break from the day. Whether you are visiting by yourself or with others, break off from your daily routine and spend a few minutes here. You will not regret it.

    Accessible meeting place in heart of Granary Wharf near the end of Leeds Liverpool Canal. Nice Lattes and Flat White Thick Bread Bacon Butties. Cute cushions for stools :)

    Love this hidden gem. The place is super cute, with plenty of hanging lights and overlooking the wharf. Coffee is also very good.

    Great coffee in a lovely environment with attentive service. Didn't eat, but it looked good. Will definitely use again.

    Whenever I'm in Leeds this is the coffee place I go to every morning. The staff are so amazing 👏 providing exceptional coffee (the latte is a must 😋), the granola bowls are fabulous 👌 and I loved it so much I purchased their own branded coffee in a huge pack to take home. The team here grinded up the beans which I loved, so please people enjoy your breakfasts here in peace away from the busy city centre.

    What a gorgeous spot! Staff were a delight, our oat lattes were delicious, and the atmosphere was really warm and inviting. We didn’t try the food but it looked delicious and was really reasonably priced for the quality and quantity. Excited to go back soon to sample the food! 10/10 recommendation.

    Very nice and cozy place with extremely friendly staff. Mocha was 10/10. Nice location and quiet with a warm and inviting seating area.

  • 4/5 Dean F. 9 months ago on Google
    Really nice coffee shop. Grabbed lunch here also and the food was freshly made and really nice setting right next to the Leeds Canal. Tends to be a relatively quiet spot too. Perfect to escape the busy city centre for a bit of peace with a hint of light atmosphere 😀👌

    Great little cafe round the back of the station. Only 5 mins from the platforms and much better than the regular on station stuff. Dog friendly!

  • 5/5 Adrian 10 months ago on Google
    The staff here are so lovely, I work for the railway and whenever I am in Leeds, I always stop in for a coffee and enjoy the views over the waterway from within the café or at one of the many tables outside when the weather permits! They also cater to all tastes and for all dietary requirements. Please do visit!

    I've been a regular visitor to this lovely cafe over the past few weeks. Really nice coffee and delicious porrige. They stock a nice range of Coffee beans and other goodies. Just a really nice atmosphere and an ideal place to meet up with friends. Highly recommended

    Had a voucher from work and decided to buy 2 cakes. Limited selection unless you like brownies. Had a lemon and blueberry slice. Dry and not tasty. Wouldn't do it again.

  • 5/5 Stephen W. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice, quiet cafe close to Leeds Station. View of the canal and a dinosaur!

  • 5/5 Jay V. 1 year ago on Google
    A lovely little coffee shop just a few minutes walk from the train station. It's worth coming here just to sit with a coffee and watch the world go by, but the toasties are also delicious!

  • 5/5 Gary W. 1 year ago on Google
    Small, friendly coffee house right next to the Doubletree Hotel. Good espresso and apparently excellent decaf. Sandwiches, cakes and other breakfast-y stuff. Local bread looked very good but we weren’t dining.

  • 4/5 Hannah P. 1 year ago on Google
    Good coffee. Nice little spot to grab a quick coffee but the seating isn’t overly comfortable if you’d like to stay and have some food. My partner really enjoyed his sandwich. I’m gluten free so opted for a smoothie for breakfast which was nice too.

    Ordered a cappuccino this morning around 8am with chunky toast with peanut butter. The cappuccino was tasty and went down smooth. We go to a few different cafes in Leeds and this was our first experience of this shop, so we are happy with the quality of drink. I originally ordered a croissant but there weren't any in, which is a bit disappointing first thing on a Monday morning. The choices for spread on the toast were great but, although this isn't a major issue, they did offer chunky peanut butter but didn't have enough for my toast and did the rest of my toast with smooth. I am just happy to have peanut butter but would suggest that all items are fully or mostly stocked for the start of the week so when customers ask for something or are offered a choice in something that they are then not met with an apology for it having run out, especially as this was at the start of the day and week and not at the end of service.

    One of the best oat milk cappuccinos I've ever had. Enjoyed drinking it overlooking the wharf.

  • 5/5 Susanne E L. 1 year ago on Google
    They have the best coffee in Leeds and real old doorstep sandwiches. On top of it all they offer vegan friendly milk and sandwich options.Service was great .I loved it.
