12 Best Cafes And Places For Brunch In Leeds
"The name, Sheffield, has its origins in Old English and derives from the name of a principal river in the city, the River Sheaf. This name, in turn, is a corruption of shed or sheth, which refers to a divide or separation.[8][9] The second half of the name Sheffield refers to a field, or forest clearing.[10] Combining the two words, it is believed that the name refers to an Anglo-Saxon settlement in a clearing by the confluence of the River Don and River Sheaf.[11]"

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The Yorkshire Wrap Company will give you one of their giant Yorkshire puddings and stuff it with goodies, before you chow down on it like a burrito.

If you get there early doors, they’ve even got a full English one for you to try."
"You can gorge on the ultimate Yorkshire pudding at the Yorkshire Wrap Co. They’ve transformed the humble pud into a deliciously filling roast dinner wrap. Load yours with slow cooked beef, red cabbage and horseradish or roast pork, stuffing and apple sauce, before it’s finished with lashings of gravy and wrapped up in a freshly made Yorkshire."
"This one’s a little bit different – Taste is a cafe created for the local community in the heart of Holbeck Urban Village, born out of a need for quality coffee and on-the-go lunch options in the area.

"Located close to Kirkgate Market, Mrs Atha’s has a strong focus on ethically sourced coffee, making it a firm favourite of many locals. Their coffee is produced by Maude Coffee who carefully source their beans from all around the world before roasting them right there in Leeds. Inside, the café is small and snug, filled with mismatching tables and chairs that give it a distinctly vintage appearance."
"There are so many reasons to visit Mrs Atha’s; the fantastic coffee, the extensive menu made using the best local produce, the selection of unbelievably delicious cakes, the cosy dark wood interior that feels warm even during the coldest winter months. We recommend the avocado on toast for breakfast. It’s not only healthy but really delicious and the portion sizes are generous."
"Hidden away behind House of Fraser, this family-run coffee shop is well-loved for its cosy interior, great variety of cakes and tasty coffee, which is provided by their sister roastery, Maude Coffee. Visit: Central Road, LS1 6DE - mrsathasleeds.com"

"This little gem is tucked away down Peter Lane, next to Superdrug. But venture down and you’ll discover a friendly and warm cafe, with lots of tasty treats to try. Choose from sandwiches, paninis, breakfasts and more!"
"The website defaults to the menu in Japanese, which says to me that this restaurant is catering to the large number of Japanese visitors we receive. I’d say that it does not get more authentic than that!. If you want sushi like it’s served in Japan, then this looks ideal."
"One of the UK’s finest Georgian townhouses, Fairfax House on Castlegate was designed by John Carr. Originally the winter retreat of Viscount Fairfax, the house was converted into a dance hall and cinema in the 20th Century. The York Civic Trust however restored it to its former Georgian glory, and today it’s open to the public with the Noel Terry collection of furnishings, ornaments, decorative arts and paintings on display inside."
"In a city with the biggest student population outside of London, it would be absurd for the prevailing university culture not to have some influence on the art scene. Housed within the University of Leeds campus in the Grade II listed Art Deco Parkinson Building, The Stanley and Audrey Burton Gallery showcases a mix of contemporary art as well as works from the university’s special collections department spanning over 200 years. The gallery expectedly supports and promotes its students’ and its graduates’ work, in addition to displays from local artists and those from further afield."
"You don’t have to be a student to enjoy the art of The Stanley and Audrey Burton Gallery at the University of Leeds. Since 1970, it’s been home to the University Art Collection, which features ceramics, photographs and sculpture. That’s not all – you can see an incredible selection of British and European paintings, drawings and prints from 17th century to the present day."
"Located between Leeds and Wetherby, Bramham Park is the site of the iconic Leeds Festival which occurs every August bank holiday weekend. If you don’t hold tickets to the festival, visit during the rest of the year to explore the 18th Century manor house and its sprawling grounds."
"This guildhall in the city of York was one of the most important buildings in the medieval city. The majority of the Hall was built in 1357 by a group of influential men and women who came together to form a religious fraternity called the Guild of Our Lord Jesus and the Blessed Virgin Mary. The main part of the building consists of the Great Hall, the Undercroft and the Chapel."
"Another excellent photography spot and Instagrammable place in York is the Merchant’s Hall. The Merchant’s Hall has one of the most impressive guildhalls in the world, and sometimes you can get it empty – it’s incredible for photos."
