There's a bakery near Leeds that sells Instagrammable donuts, coffee and now (incase there weren't enough reasons to visit), Percy Pig rice crispy cakes.
Doe Bakehouse has plenty of donuts stops near Leeds, with two store in York and one in Harrogate and more further north- but this menu of incredible Percy Pig creations has got us thinking we’re willing to travel hundreds of miles just for a single bite.
If there’s one thing we love in Britain, it’s those pink gooey sweets from M&S, so we’re all ears when someone finds an imaginative way to incorporate them into a new tasty dish that honours Percy and his farmyard friends.

Doe Bakehouse shared some snaps of the delicious treats on their social media page earlier this week stating that: "Percy Pig rice crispy cakes in all shops today. Think gooey Percy pig flavoured crispy bars with a white chocolate top and Percy pig sweets."
If you're wanting to get your hands on these irresistible treats you'd better be quick, Percy Pig flavoured cakes sold out by lunchtime in Layerthorpe and we imagine the rest of the stores will find this new addition to be just as popular.
This isn't the first time that we've seen Percy Pigs at this bakery either. The Percy P*g, as it’s known on the company’s social media page (we love some forward thinking ways to avoid copyright problems) is a pink donut with our favourite sweet pig stuck on the top.
But that’s not all the rainbow bakery has to offer. Inside each store is an Instagrammable hideaway with every every possible neon colour imaginable plastered on the walls.
The Doe Bakehouse reckon they’re one of the more colourful bakeries in Yorkshire- and they’re definitely right about that. On their website, Doe state that they “have three bright and colourful shops in Yorkshire.
"One is hidden in the back streets of Harrogate and the two are in the city of York. Come and visit, absorb the surroundings: The rainbow walls, the glitter tassels, the multi-coloured chairs and the eye-catching murals. Escape from reality, oh and enjoy a doe-nut whilst you’re there.”
You can find usually their Harrogate store on Bower Street (no. 4) and on Church Street in York city centre. If you’re in Layerthorpe, you can also grab a donut from Unit 1, 43 Layerthorpe- you’ll spot the exterior a mile off.

The North West’s most ordered burger has landed in Leeds, and it’s easy to see why it’s loved by so many.
If you don't know about Burgerism, then get to know.
The iconic burger brand, which started life as a dark kitchen off an industrial estate in Salford, is now almost ready to welcome fans into its first Leeds location.
Set to open tomorrow – Wednesday 23 September – Burgerism will be serving up their signature smash burgers from a new site over in Meanwood.

The site sits right next to The Meadwood Tavern on Meanwood Road, the perfect location for if you're out and about and looking for a bit of grub after a few pints.
The interior is sporting the bright Burgerism orange, and although it is mainly a takeaway restaurant there are a few seats for sit-in.
You’ll be able to order your food at the counter, via self-service kiosks, or through click-and-collect on the Burgerism website.

Highlights on the menu will, as always, include the fan-favourite Cheesed (two smashed patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion and the brand’s signature sauce, served in a seeded brioche bun), as well as a range of chicken burgers, fries, and wings.
Everything is made fresh to order, and even their sauces and dips are made entirely in-house.

And the good stuff doesn't stop there, as to celebrate the grand opening they'll be giving away the first 100 customers from 5pm a 'Comeback Card' where you'll eat on them during your next visit. So get there early if you don't want to miss out
The Meanwood site will be the sixth Burgerism site following its five openings elsewhere in Greater Manchester.
A new açai cafe promising to be Leeds’ ‘neighbourhood social club’ is opening soon
Clementine Hall
An independent açai bowl pop-up is opening a permanent cafe in Leeds city centre.
It seems the açai bowl trend isn't over just yet, and we're absolutely not mad about it.
The aesthetically purple frozen treat isn't just delicious, but is also known to have numerous health benefits making it guilt-free and the perfect post-workout pick me up.
You may remember Açai Social Club that opened as a pop-up in the Victoria Quarter last year, and now they're moving into a permanent spot in the city centre.
Run by a lovely husband and wife duo who have spent the last 15 months exploring cafes around the world, it's safe to say they know exactly what they're talking about.
Their açai is made with the very best ingredients, topped with the freshest fruit and sprinkled with their homemade granola - it doesn't get much better then that does it?
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, they said: "Açai Social Club is getting a home. Our very first store is officially on the way! We’ve been working behind the scenes to create a space that’s more about than just açai.
"What started as an idea is finally becoming something you can walk into…There’s still a lot we’re keeping under wraps for now, but we’re so excited to finally share the beginning of what’s to come.
"We can’t wait to open our doors and welcome you in. Your new neighbourhood social club, coming soon."
The exact location of the cafe and its opening date is still under wraps, but we'll of course keep you updated as and when we find out.
