Ice Cream Parlours
"When dining with children, a lunch that feels more like a party treat might be enough to tempt even the most reticent of young foodies. Cue Crepe Affaire, where everything on offer is, you guessed it, crepe-based. There are the sweet treats, like salted caramel, Oreo, peanut butter and Nutella, but don’t miss out on the savouries."
"At Crepe Affaire, it’s all about traditional French pancakes. Expect a host of classic combinations, both sweet and savoury, like cinnamon or hunter’s chicken. But it’s their more creative options that demand your attention."
"Let’s face it, it is always a good time for ice cream, but the arrival of spring is just the perfect excuse. Located in Victoria Gate, Amorino is definitely one of the best places for ice cream in Leeds. Chocolate sorbet, blueberry cheesecake, tiramisu … A nice variety of flavours coming in rose-shaped cones."
"As someone with a sweet tooth, this list would not be complete without a dessert recommendation. Their outlet on Great Horton Road is just a few minutes away from the campus gym, which sounds to me like great motivation to work out!. They offer a wide selection of waffles, cookie dough, shakes and of course, gelato."
"Working hours: From 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM(Hours or availability may differ due to COVID-19). Address: 25-27 Tyrrel Street - BD1 1RU. Delivery:FREE (Collection & Delivery )"
"They’re currently running a reduced menu, but still have loads of different sundaes to tempt you in, from classics like the Banana Split, with strawberry slices, vanilla ice cream, syrup and sprinkles, to the Mango Mania, with Alphonse mango ice cream, fruit pieces and mango syrup."
"The fleet of vintage ice cream trucks, painted pink, white and blue, are gorgeous to look at and serve just as wonderfully pleasing ice creams. In recent years, they’ve noticed a shift from 99p cones to more extravagant options – now they are creating thee ‘super Sundaes’ which you can pick up from one of the trucks around Roundhay Park. Find them at Mansion Ln, Roundhay, Leeds LS8 2HH."
"Bread + Roses is without a doubt one of the best cafes in Bradford, home to bright and airy décor with cosy seating for studying while you eat. This independent gem is a vegan and vegetarian café, serving fresh, high quality food in style. Expect warming soups and healthy salads bursting with flavour – not forgetting, an impressive range of homemade vegan cakes!"
"Monday-Friday 8am-9pm, Saturdays 9am-9.30pm, Sundays 10am-3pm. Opened just a few months ago, this vegetarian cafe has been a welcome addition to the city’s bustling North Parade. It’s a light, bright, friendly space with large tables for groups or mingling."
"The Greenhouse offers a completely vegan all-day brunch menu. Take a seat in this leafy cafe and pore over a menu of tasty treats, made using the best local produce. You can go healthy with Hummus, Avocado and Cherry Tomato on artisan bread, or indulge in their Fluffy Pancake Stack, which comes smothered in maple syrup and seasonal fruit or chocolate sauce and chopped nuts."
"Head a little out of Leeds City Centre to Horsforth’s Town Street to visit The Greenhouse. Its a 100% vegan cafe, serving vegan bowls, breakfasts, and hot drinks in a locally sourced & seasonally changing menu."
"The Lime Tree is an independent restaurant that Specialises in Mediterranean cuisine and pride themselves on extraordinary food with unbeatable prices!. With a great takeaway menu offering vegetarian, meat and seafood dishes, there is something for everyone!. They are offering a collection or delivery service Wednesday to Sunday 5pm - 9pm and have an option of a 2-course meal deal, so don’t miss out!"
"One of the UK’s most popular attractions, Jorvik Viking Centre in York is a favourite with families. At the heart of the museum is an amazing archeological discovery – The Coppergate Dig. Excavations under an old sweet factory between 1979 and 1981 unearthed numerous Viking artefacts and the remains of 10th century Viking buildings preserved within particularly spongy earth."
"Situated in the former headquarters of the Tetley Brewery, The Tetley is a transformative contemporary art exhibition space which focuses on education and community engagement for people of all ages and backgrounds. There is always opportunity for discussions about the high standard of art on display, with the hope that it can inspire future artistic talents. The bar and kitchen downstairs is a great place to kick off the discussions over brunch."
"The 1930’s art deco, former headquarters of Tetley Brewery is a pioneering centre for contemporary art. Also, a great place to kick back, enjoy a selection of cask ales, wines, spirits and soft drinks, together with a Yorkshire inspired menu showcasing the very best ingredients. Their sun trap of a beer garden is the perfect place to enjoy a pint of Tetley’s, right on the spot it was born more than 200 years ago."
"The Tetley is a contemporary art gallery in what was the headquarters of the former Tetley Brewery. The art deco building is in central Leeds features a gallery space, function, rooms, a public bar, and carefully preserved rooms from the old Tetley offices. We hope you enjoyed seeing some of our most treasured buildings from our home city."
"When I said Jorvik was York’s best-known attraction I should probably have said its equal best-known attraction because the National Railway Museum is also very famous. And, because it’s just a five-minute walk from the train station, it’s an obvious first port of call for many people. Tracing the history of rail travel around the world, this museum holds over a million different exhibits and if your kids are train buffs they will absolutely LOVE it here."
"We love the railway museum not least because Rebecca’s dad is a train enthusiast and could spend hours in here reading every tiny detail on every sign next to every exhibition!. Great for kids with live shows and hands-on activities. Entry is free, but if you can afford it, it’s nice to make a small donation to keep this attraction thriving in York for years to come."
"Good news: the largest railway museum in the world is also open year-round!. This museums offers tons of free activities as well as a railroad-themed play area for the kids, which makes it a slam dunk for the entire family."
