10 cosy places for coffee and cake in Leeds
"Fettle is a brilliant find if you’re looking for somewhere to have brunch in Leeds. On the weekend, the Scandinavian-inspired cafe has a special all-day menu that bridges the gap between breakfast and lunch. You’ve got classics like their full English breakfast, but the veggie alternative is arguably even better – you’ll get slices of halloumi or tofu, a free-range egg cooked your way and sourdough toast, served with beautifully seasoned wilted spinach, mixed beans, confit tomatoes and a flat mushroom."
"Fettle is a slice of Scandinavian serenity in the heart of the city and it’s the perfect place to while away the hours with a coffee. They serve Limini coffee from Cleckheaton, and each cup, whether you go for an espresso, cappuccino or latte, is made with a double shot for a deeper, darker flavour. They also serve Sandows’ renowned cold brew coffee for something different, and you can tuck into a range of tasty Scandi-inspired morsels."
"Very popular with the locals which is always a good sign and new entry in the Good Food Guide 2019. Open for evening meals on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and also great for breakfast, lunch and afternoon teas and excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans.www.partisanuk.com/"
"09/05/2021: Had breakfast here a couple of times while staying in York. Absolutely fantastic food and great service. Best gluten free bread I have had and the cakes also great."
"What’s on the menu – York’s best brownies delivered to your doorstep – what’s not to love?. Millionaire’s shortbread and rocky road are on the menu too."
"Kennedy’s prides itself on a relaxed and friendly service complimented by freshly prepared food. You can book online now, or if a spontaneous chilled beverage is more your vibe, we have also saved plenty of space for walk-ins as well. Kennedys, Little Stonegate, York Y01 8AXT: 01904 620222"
"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. Kennedy’s Bar & Restaurant is really the place to be. It stays open until late, with not expensive alcohol, open-mic nights, two-for-one burger on Wednesdays and a special roast on Sundays."
"When sometimes only a fry up will do, head to Fountains Coffee House in Bradford’s Oastler Market. A Bradford institution, Fountains has been serving up breakfasts for over 50 years. Think sausage, egg, chips and beans with a mug of tea on the side."
"Hidden away under Lendal Bridge, the tiny Perky Peacock occupies a medieval tower that once functioned as a toll booth on the adjacent River Ouse. It is an atmospheric spot where the food is as seductive as the surroundings. First-rate, local ingredients underpin a menu of breakfast items (a bacon butty on Via Vecchia’s cheese bread, anyone?), handsome (if pre-made) lunchtime sandwiches and home-baked cakes."
"The Perky Peacock was the first place we went for breakfast in York. It’s a tiny, quirky little place up in a medieval tower house on the city walls. Being so compact (there’s only around 5 tables!), it’s likely you will have to wait for a seat, although turnover was pretty quick when we were there."
"One of York's charms is finding teeny places like this cafe, shoe-horned into historic buildings. In this case the host is a 14th-century, rotund watchtower crouched by the riverbank. Sup an excellent coffee..."
"You’ll find two Opposite cafes in Leeds, each ready and waiting to give you a tasty caffeine boost.

So whether you’re after a latte, a cappuccino or something a little stronger, nip into one of their cafes for a mighty fine brew and a bite to eat."
