It's time to swallow your pride and use your unsuccessful romantic endeavours for good.
This Halloween, 200 Degrees is giving away free drinks across all of its 21 stores nationwide to anyone who can prove they’ve been ghosted.
Yep, including its store right here in Leeds.
All day today, Thursday 31 October aka Halloween, baristas at 200 Degrees will become the 'Roastbusters'; giving away any drink of choice to anyone who can prove they have been a victim of ghosting.

But what is ghosting you might ask? Ghosting is a frighteningly common part of dating, where your love interest will ignore you and leave you on read. Pretty harsh if you ask us.
To claim the offer, anyone can head into one of the brand’s 21 distinctive coffee shops across the country, show the Barista proof of being ghosted by a love interest* and choose any drink off the menu.
The full menu will also be available, featuring coffee shop classics made with the roaster’s specialty blends, alongside caffeine-free options like Chai or Turmeric Lattes, as well as a delicious range of milkshakes and smoothies

Speaking of the offer, Siobhan Lloyd head of marketing at 200 Degrees said: “This Halloween, we want to turn ghosting into a positive and give our customers a playful treat! Everyone deserves a great cup of coffee, especially after the fright of being ghosted, and our new Autumn menu is packed with delicious flavours to keep our customers’ dating spirits alive.”
This Halloween, anyone who’s been ghosted can stop by their local 200 Degrees for a free drink, courtesy of The Roastbusters—because great coffee can banish all horror stories, even dating ones!
The frozen yoghurt craze is on its way to Leeds as Kefiyo is set to open in Headingley in just a few days.
It's a phenomenon that has caught the attention of the TikTok and Instagram girlies as of late, with frozen yoghurt bars popping up in Manchester and going viral online.
The ice cold sweet treat is supposedly 'healthy' and with a slogan of 'eat Clean. feel Light. live Better.' - this new spot in Leeds seems to be going down that route too.
Kefiyo will be opening in the old Sixes site on Ash Road in Headingley, and they've just announced that they'll be soft launching this Sunday 19 April 2026.
The space is already sporting a super cute pastel green and pink exterior, and it's exactly matching the aesthetic that you'd expect with froyo.
Kefiyo will offer a range of frozen yoghurt flavours with a whole bunch of toppings for you to customise to your tastebuds, as well as fresh acai bowls.
Situated slap bang in the centre of Headingley, we've got a feeling it'll be very busy with students on their way to their morning lecture or at night for those looking for a sweet treat that doesn't feel too naughty.
We'll keep you updated on more Kefiyo updates as and when we find out.
But in the meantime, you can keep an eye on their socials here. We'll see you soon for a scoop Leeds.
Cult favourite burger chain Burgerism is officially coming to Leeds this summer
Clementine Hall
An award-winning burger chain is coming to one of Leeds' suburbs.
If you don't know Burgerism, then get to know.
The Manchester-based burger chain is known by many for its incredible smash patties and quick, reliable service.
Their concept is simple: good burgers made with quality ingredients and cooked fresh to order. Delicious.
And it's not just burgers, they've also got some great wings and fries available too with a range of homemade sauces on offer for dunking, drizzling and devouring. We're a particular fan of the buffalo wings with their garlic ranch dip.
The chain used to have a dark kitchen on the outskirts of the city where people could order via Deliveroo, however this closed down and since then there's been a Burgerism-shaped hole left in our foodie scene.

Burgerism recently applied to move into a vacant shop unit in Meanwood at 605 Meanwood Road, seeking change-of-use planning permission for the former Papa Johns site which was previously only allowed to serve...well, pizzas.
And the plans have now been approved, which means Burgerism will officially be coming to Leeds. Hurray!
Burgerism's new takeaway will be walking distance from the The Meanwood Tavern, perfect for those looking for some post-pint burgers.
It will be strictly takeaway with no dine-in option available.
The brand-new Burgerism will employ 15 people from the local area with food being served between 11am and 11pm.
We'll keep you up to date as and when we find out more, but for now we're aware that Burgerism Leeds is set to open this summer.
