The Most Instagrammable Spots in Leeds, England
"Although it isn’t at the heart of the city, it isn’t far from it either. It’s located less than five minutes walk from Leeds Town Hall. This Scandinavian cafe and restaurant is a great choice for those who love organic and seasonal locally sourced ingredients."
"Also have a look at our suggestions for brunch and breakfast in Huddersfield, Brunch or Breakfast in Manchester, Bolton, brunch or breakfast in Leeds, breakfast or brunch in Sheffield and breakfast or brunch in York,breakfast in Halifax."
"Situated in Micklegate, York, Partisan is a family-run restaurant. This eatery creates a special menu every week to cater to vegan and vegetarian visitors and locals in town. The remarkable thing about Partisan is that it runs an arable farm on the city’s outskirts, where staff grows the herbs and vegetables used in making the restaurant’s tasty dishes."
"When to go: Head down for a lazy brunch, take a book, order a large coffee, and while away a few hours. What to have: The partisan breakfast (meat, veggie and vegan available) cooked and served in a skillet, is comfort food at its best. For something a little lighter, try their Persian eggs with Medjoul dates and warming spices."
"Again, this one involves eggs, especially on the daytime menu. But if that’s not a problem for you, then you will love this quirky spot. If you don’t eat eggs then you still have options and some very tasty ones too."
"Brew and Brownie was a place that I wanted to visit in York for the longest time, but every time we went passed it, there were queues out of the door and down the street!. Thankfully, one day last spring, Matt and I managed to grab a table and even though I was recovering from just having my tonsils removed, I was determined to make the most out of our visit there!. Brew and Brownie offer an incredible breakfast/brunch menu including everything from a smorgasbord of egg dishes, avocado dishes and plenty of tasty sandwiches."
"If I lived in York, you would find me at Brew & Brownie multiple times a week. Not only do they serve excellent artisan coffee drinks and quality loose leaf tea, their baked goods and extensive breakfast and lunch menu are incredible. The menu changes with the season and ingredients are sourced from the best local farmers and suppliers."
"Famous for their spectacular pancakes – and many other yummy sweet and savoury treats. Normally it’s hard to get a table in here, so make sure to get here early (or be prepared to wait!) Currently open for click and collect or order at the door."
"Next on my list of the best independent cafes and coffee shops in York is Mannion & Co. We ended up here after our original breakfast choice for the day appeared to have closed down – and I’m so glad we did!. After walking the streets of York with no food or coffee inside us, it’s fair to say we were pretty famished by the time we arrived."
"Expect to queue for a table at this busy bistro (no reservations), with its convivial atmosphere and selection of delicious daily specials. Regulars on the menu include eggs Benedict for breakfast, a chunky..."
"House of Koko is a cool, family-run cafe on the southern edge of Chapel Allerton and it’s a must-visit. You can get a cracking cup of North Star coffee or try one of their loose leaf teas, but don’t just come for the drinks – they have a creative food menu that’s worth checking out. Start with the classic buttermilk and berries pancakes for breakfast or come later in the day for eclectic dishes like their chicken & avocado salad or homemade baked beans on sourdough."
"House of Koko, 62 Harrogate Rd, Leeds, LS7 4LA - Visit now. As well as great Northstar coffee, House of Koko offers a variety of real teas, sourced from around the world, and some very rare indeed. A place where you will always be met with a smile."
"House of Koko is an independent coffee and tea house in Chapel Allerton. Offer hand-pulled Northstar coffee and a wide range of loose teas. Have an ever changing seasonal menu curated by head chef that focuses on healthy, locally sourced produce."
"What:For some people, a cup of coffee is their breakfast in its entirety, but we’d recommend heading to If Coffee Bar, where you can enjoy Aussie-style brews alongside a very decent breakfast menu. The mighty breakfast burrito (essentially a wrapped up full English) is our top order, best enjoyed in the cutesy courtyard on sunnier days. Where: 43 Call Lane, LS1 7BT"
"If Coffee Bar does a great brunch in their charming, rustic cafe. Their menu is full of classic dishes like the Eggs Benedict and Pancakes, but they also have a few twists. Why not try something different like their Breakfast Burrito?"
"Fancy some yummy pancakes, or like the sound of chorizo beans?. Then check out If Up North Coffee Bar. They offer their bottomless brunch all week long, so if you want to avoid the weekend crowds then you’re in luck."
"You don’t have to miss out on all the delicious donuts in Leeds thanks to Wildcraft Bakery. They make proper, yeast-risen fried donuts, so you can enjoy all of the naughtiness with none of the gluten. Their delightfully fluffy dough brings together a blend of rice flour and tapioca with water, eggs and sourdough yeast."
"Unit 13, Penraevon Industrial Estate, Leeds LS7 2AWLeeds’ gluten-free bakery also serves up vegan doughnuts, whoopie pies and other treats from their shop just outside the city centre."
"Okay, so it’s debatable whether a huge, novelty donut is an essential element of a picnic but when they’re this good (and this fun), why not?. Rainbow, cream-filled, seasonal, chocolatey, fruity, vegan and veggie, Doe has an array of homemade donuts to choose from right in the heart of the city. Prepare to queue at peak times, but it’s worth the wait."
"Head to Ice Stone Gelato where you can devour over 30 crazy flavours. We’re talking everything from popping candy to raspberry pavlova, bubblegum to blueberry muffin. There are so many imaginative creations you’ll be spoilt for choice."
"Considered the most romantic restaurant in the city, based on TripAdvisor reviews, you can dine out in style at this snug French bistro, where the candlelit setting and exquisite food really help to set the mood."
"Few names are as synonymous with quality French food as Raymond Blanc. His Brasserie Blanc restaurants are popular all over the country – and Leeds is no different. Nestled on the edge of the River Aire, it’s a classy affair with exposed brickwork and oodles of character, but the food is the real focus."
"Côte Brasserie serve breakfast and brunch from Saturday to Sunday, and Bank Holidays, from 10am to 2pm. Highlights include a breakfast set menu that involves any cooked breakfast with fresh orange juice or cloudy apple juice and a hot drink of your choice. Options include a full English breakfast, Crepe Complete (pancakes, bacon and comte cheese), Eggs Florentine, Eggs Royal and Eggs Avocado."
"Côte’s tagline is “Relaxed all day dining inspired by the brasseries of Paris” and I would agree with that. They serve breakfast/brunch between 8am and noon Monday to Friday and 9am till 1pm Saturday and Sunday. They have a good lunchtime and early evening set menu at two courses for £11.95 that includes French classics like steak frites and baked camembert."
