Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Lepton

"According to The Journal of The Brewery History Society,[1] Wharfedale Brewery began life as Wetherby Brewery in 1756 when it was established by brewer, maltster, and farmer John Rhodes. When John Rhodes died in 1780 he was succeeded in the brewery by his eldest son Gregory and his second son Quentin and the two of them guided the fortunes of the brewery well into the nineteenth century.[2]. Quentin Rhodes,[3] an important local businessman, made his fortune selling beer to many of the town's 15 pubs."

"In the 11th century William the Conqueror granted the lands on which the park stands to Ilbert de Lacy for his support in the Harrying of the North in the winter 1069–70. De Lacy, who founded Pontefract Castle, was a knight from Normandy. During the 13th century, the area was used as a hunting park for the de Lacys, who were the Lords of Bowland on the Yorkshire-Lancaster border."

"Yet another establishment found within Micklegate, Partisan is a trendy and independent coffee shop, which transforms into a restaurant in the evening. The menu’s diverse, and changes every week – as a result, it’s difficult to make a solid recommendation on which dish to choose, however, the principles at Partisan are clear – they value seasonality, allow the ingredients to do the talking and provide a relaxed, indulgent experience for diners. They were this year highlighted as one of the best restaurants in York by the Good Food Guide, which described “This distinctive arrival on blossoming Micklegate is principally a daytime café with a rustic ambience."

"Run by Argentinian Florencia Clifford and her farmer husband Hugo, Partisan serves international food like ceviche, Persian breakfast eggs and beef bibimbap. It’s furnished by an antiques dealer and everything you see is for sale, which means the décor changes subtly each visit. Dinner is served three nights a week."

"Partisan is a vibrant, independent coffee shop located on Micklegate in York and the cafe has been a long term dream for owner, Florencia. They serve a modern menu for breakfast, brunch, lunch and afternoon tea every day of the week. And they also open on evenings later in the week for casual dining."

"As the name suggest, Brew & Brownie make an abundance of different flavoured brownies. I must have sampled about 4 of them during my time in York, and even stopped by before I caught the train home so that I could enjoy a little treat on the journey!. And if you’re not a brownie lover, never fear!"

"Cafe serving both breakfast and brunch with a variety of coffee, loose leaf teas and cakes. Chocolate survival boxes, coffee and Afternoon teas available for collection and delivery. Bakeshop open Monday-Sunday 9-4 and Cafe open Monday-Sunday 9:30-4."

"No visit to York is complete without a trip to the famous Café Tea Room – known worldwide as Betty’s tea room. The surroundings are beautiful, the staff are friendly and professional and the food is outstanding. Afternoon Tea consisted of dainty sandwiches, delicious scones and calorific cakes."

"Betty’s is arguably one of the most highly coveted places in York and not only does it serve ridiculously delicious afternoon and an extensive food menu, it’s also spectacularly ornately decorated inside, which means it’s the perfect place to bring your camera along when dining here."

"If you’re feeling hungry after all that exploring then head to Bettys. It’s a Yorkshire institution with delicious cakes and scones to fill up on. My favourite is their fat rascal scone."

"This cosy intimate bar has built an enviable reputation as a music venue with an eclectic roster of performers packing the place most nights of the week. The diminutive bar area where more people stand to listen to music than sit is supplemented by significantly more seating in the upstairs lounge which leads to a compact roof terrace with one of the best views of York Minster of any pub in the city. Like most café bars in York, daytimes see the Habit more popular for their home-made burgers and coffees whilst the evening clientele take advantage of a decent selection of beers, wines and spirits."

"One of the coolest spots in a city renowned for its oldie pubs, The Habit is a café-bar with assorted, reclaimed furniture, relaxed vibes and a decent selection of guest ales and beers. One of the main attractions, though, is the regular live music and hip DJs, making it quite popular with the city's student population. Head up stairs to the terrace in the summer, where you'll also find The Habit's renowned graffiti wall."

"With a stunning backdrop of the Minster on their terrace, this gem on Goodramgate is a must-visit for a pint with a view. Whether beer, wine or spirits is your style there’ll be something for you to enjoy here. Relax and chat with loved ones while taking in this breath-taking view of York’s most iconic building."

"Then Trinity Kitchen is your secret weapon for eating out with the family in Leeds. An ever-changing line up of street food vendors sit alongside a bunch of permanent eateries, meaning there’s always something new to try at this glorified food court. Not only that, but there’s plenty of seating, high chairs and room to manoeuvre a pram too."

"With a concept that is completely unique, Trinity Kitchen rotates six new street food vans every eight weeks and offers visito... Trinity Centre, Albion Street, LeedsTelephone. 0113 394 2415 Email."

"North Brewing’s city-centre tap-room, a rather unlovely glass box containing a gorgeous selection of beer, is also home to the Little Bao Boy, James Ooi’s stellar street food operation. Ooi’s beef bao, the beef braised in a long list of aromatics then topped with cucumber, deep-fried onions and sweet chilli sauce, is a must. Those swerving meat are well-served, too."

"Little Bao Boy specialises in serving up soft and fluffy bao buns stuffed to bursting with Asian-fusion fillings. The KFB brings together homemade fried chicken and sriracha mayo or you can go for the Beef Brisket – it comes with slow-cooked meat marinated in a sweet chilli, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and five-spice blend."

"Just a few metres away from Viva Cuba you’ll find Hasan’s restaurant, serving delicious dishes from the other side of the world. The vegetarian and vegan friendly menu is made up of fresh and innovative dishes from traditional and contemporary Indian cuisine. The stylish decor makes for a great location for a meal shared with family or friends."

"FINO is a traditional pizzeria that you would expect to find on the streets of Napoli, with a Cicchetti style restaurant. Cicchetti :- (pronounced chi - KET - tee) are medium size dishes, typically served in cicchetti bars in Venice. You can make a meal of them by ordering several plates and...See more"

"One of the more unique and wackier places on this list is none other than the House of The Trembling Madness. Many of the reviews of this place say that it is a ‘MUST-visit’ and 'If you’re looking for unusual, fun, esoteric and eclectic then this is your place.’ With its unusual name, many people are drawn to this place by its pure aesthetic alone, with its famous 900 year old wall, the House of The Trembling Madness resides in the first Norman building built in York, the wall is all that remains of its original structure. When you come here though, you won’t want to leave when you see their generous selection of world crafted beers on offer, and their big portions of hearty pub meals all at very reasonable prices, such as their large steak and stout pie with mash and peas, at only 13 USD!"

"The main focus of the Trembling Madness is the stunning three rooms upstairs; each is finely presented in the grand Georgian style but with that quirky Madness shining through with a smattering of taxidermy and quite disturbing renaissance gothic works of art mainly depicting hell. Two of the rooms are set out with tables and chairs, the high ceilings and big windows giving a spacious and relaxing atmosphere."

"Just like the name suggests, this eccentric restaurant offers something a little unique. It is designed to resemble a medieval ale house with stuffed animals sprawn across the walls and Belgian beers on tap. Food is served all day long with bar snacks, authentic Yorkshire ingredients, and craft beer all round."

"Another stalwart on the Leeds clubbing scene, Mint Club has been the go-to club for house and techno music since it opened its doors back in 1997. As well as welcoming the best DJs in the country, the club also gives newcomers to the scene a chance to take to the decks, allowing clubbers to sample the best up-and-coming music. Anyone who loves dance music is guaranteed a great night here."

"One of the most famous clubs in the country, let alone in Leeds, Mint Club plays host to some of the biggest artists in the UK. When it's not welcoming the likes of Maribou State, Craig Richards and Sub Focus?. It's blasting the hottest in house, techno and underground."
