    Really lovely cafe that I wish I'd known about sooner. Plenty of excellent quality vegan options and very reasonable. Soft drinks were slightly pricey but everything else was very well priced. Will definitely be back

    Lovely community hub! Very nice café - they serve ale and food as well, I think. There seems to be lots going on: community events, concerts, that sort of thing. There's a clothes swap as well :)

    They keep changing the menu for the breakfasts. It used to be incredible and we'd go every week but the food is increasingly disappointing. It's also super loud in there but we'd go for the food (and the amazing hash browns). Literally so sad about the menu changes. It seems to get smaller and smaller every week

    A hidden gem, well worth seeking out. Just called in for a late evening coffee (around 8:30) so I can't comment on the food. Excellent service and coffee with nice background music and a local community vibe.

    Such a lovely little cafe - great, wholesome food, staff were great and couldn’t do enough to make sure we had the best time possible. Food was very tasty and arrived quickly, will certainly be returning in the near future!

    This really is Headingleys best kept secret. After visiting the lovely Tiny Boos next door, a well needed breakfast was in order. I cannot recommend the Brunch Burger enough, my friend was a bit concerned over the noises I was making whilst enjoying it. Staff are fab and it's a real cosy, friendly set up and they delivered into Tiny Boos so kids could still play.

    The most underrated cafe in Headingley. Great food Great beer Lovely friendly atmosphere I particularly liked the Yorkshire treacle ham with egg and chips.

    Always great. Cosy, friendly and high quality. When I’ve eaten the food has been excellent but I’ve gone for coffee and cake more often and there’s always a good variety, including gf options and the selection seems to change all the time too!

    Having been on multiple occasions, I have concluded this is the very best place to eat in Leeds and serves the best scrambled egg and soup ever! All the food is absolutely devine, the range of options for all dietary requirements is superb, the price is very reasonable, the drink options are vast and the atmosphere is welcoming, chilled and warm.

    A wonderful, friendly welcome as a first time visitor! Beautiful menu which catered for my dietary needs, and such a wonderful flexible and adaptable children's menu too. I rarely get us both so well fed anywhere. Toddler wished they had vegan/dairy free chocolate cake but I was fine without also. Will be back, 100%. What a fab place. Fellow customers so kind when my toddler struck up conversation with them past me. I left feeling like my soul was nourished as well as my body.

  • 5/5 Hope Sara B. 1 year ago on Google
    Really friendly staff and great facilities. Lovely selection of food cakes.

  • 1/5 Cassie W. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was surprisingly expensive for the portion size, and it tasted a bit bland. Felt like there was more effort making it look pretty than actually having good food. Just feels like another hipster place in Headingley.

    I eat here fairly regularly and have always have a good experience in terms of the quality of the food. They have plenty of vegan and gluten-free options too. The "buddy bowls" kids menu is a great concept, as you can pick from a selection of items to make a meal for little ones or choose just one or two items for much younger ones. The reason I've given a 4 stars rather than 5 however is an important one: sometimes the food in the buddy bowls is prepared in ways that are NOT suitable for young children. I have been served whole grapes and grapes cut in half horizontally, both of which makes them a MAJOR choking hazard (grapes for under 5s should always be cut in half lengthways and ideally quartered). The thick carrot sticks and cheese cubes are not suitable shapes for toddlers either. I always take the time to check the food there now and cut it accordingly, but I really worry that someone without the knowledge of safe food preparation for small children could serve them straight to a child. Please be vigilant if you are ordering the buddy bowls!

    Lovely coffees, cakes and cookies and a variety of very tasty mains in a friendly, fun, relaxed atmosphere. Just as good for a chatty catch-up or a casual work meeting as it is for enjoying on your tod with a book or your laptop. Outdoor space is very sweet, away from the hustle and great for kids.

  • 5/5 Emily J. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favourite places. The staff are so welcoming and friendly and the food is incredible. Their long opening hours mean that it’s a great place to have a coffee, any meal of the day, a pint or even just to sit somewhere and do work.

  • 5/5 David H. 1 year ago on Google
    A delight to find this morning. Wishing I lived in Leeds. Still somewhere to call in on visits.

  • 5/5 Fiona L. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful home baked cakes and freshly prepared food served by friendly, helpful staff.

  • 4/5 Becky K. 1 year ago on Google
    Ever so lovely Yorkshire breakfast and tea. Lovely relaxed setting though the laptop and headphones brigade grew in number while we were there.

  • 5/5 Lauren H. 2 years ago on Google
    Always love coming here to get away from the hustle and bustle of headingley. They have great brunches and the coffee is top notch. Be sure to check out the plant collection they have too!

  • 3/5 Christopher S. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice décor and food. A good place to meet friends for lunch. Was once very child friendly - not so much anymore.

  • 5/5 Mia S. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely place for a coffee and cake. The food is really nice too. The HEART centre is a nice setting with the option to buy lovely plants and flowers too. In a convenient location in central Headingley but it’s still relaxed and feels very covid safe. Really appreciate this place!

  • 4/5 Sheila 3 years ago on Google
    Super friendly place with good veggie and vegan options, Covid safe too.

  • 5/5 Louise U. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly and welcoming cafe, peaceful atmosphere. Enjoyed my sandwich and coffee. Much prefer this place to the chain coffee shops on the High Street. Will be back soon.

  • 5/5 Olivia S. 2 years ago on Google
    Quaint cafe with both indoor and outdoor, covered and open seating areas. Stunning victorian features and architecture adding to the already interesting space. High ceilings give it a breathable atmosphere and tables are spaced nicely to have your own private company. Staff are attentive and very sweet, making things as easy as possible for you. I love their selection of Food and Drink - the Organic Cola being a personal favourite. Blankets are available if you're a little chilly and the music always allows me to relax. Highly recommend.

  • 4/5 Bill M. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice location for a hot drink, some cake and a place to relax. Staff are friendly and there are also exhibitions and a gift shop in the same building. There is outdoor seating for when the weather is nice. On this occasion there were also some chess boards available to play for everyone due to a chess club playing there along with some calm music.
