Having already made a name for itself over in Sheffield, Le Croissant is getting ready to open its first site here in Leeds.
You've heard of almond croissants and chocolate croissants, maybe even a pistachio croissant, but have you heard of a fish finger croissant?
If you haven't then you're about to, because an innovative bakery dedicated to weird and wonderful croissants is coming to Leeds.
Le Croissant, part of the beloved Cawa bakery group over in Sheffield, has made a name for itself over in the Steel City for its delicious flakey pastries that you can get your hands on at multiple locations across the city.

Their viral fish finger croissant loaded with cheese and, of course, fish fingers has made headlines but the wacky creations don't stop there.
You can also get your hands on a wagyu burger croissant, pizza croissant and a strawberry and cream croissant for those sweet toothed pastry lovers out there.
Le Croissant will be opening inside Leeds Bus Station this spring, with the shop fit out taking place over the next three weeks.

It's the perfect location for those hopping on a bus looking for their carb fix to keep them fuelled for the journey ahead.
We don't have an official opening date yet, but we'll keep you updated when we do.
In the meantime, have a peek at their socials to see what you can expect.
Leeds restaurant The Cut & Craft has announced further expansion plans for the spring.
Swanky all-day dining restaurant and bar, The Cut & Craft, is expanding its popular Leeds site, investing a whopping £1.2 million to create a new adjoining elegant bar, lounge and private spaces.
Located within the former historic Collinson’s Cafe, the renovation will transform the former neighbouring Paul Smith store, to extend the existing brand offering.
The extension will celebrate the original beauty of the space, whilst acknowledging the legacy of Wallace Hartley - a talented musician who played at Collinson’s Cafe in the early 1900s before his role as bandleader on Titanic during its maiden voyage.

The Grade II-listed building’s features including its iconic glass dome, stained glass and circular central bar will remain, with the addition of two beautifully designed private dining rooms.
The extension is due for competition this spring and will transform the existing venue into a space with seating for an impressive 370 covers.
Oscar Akgul, CEO at The Cut & Craft said: “Planning for this new chapter began within the first year of opening. By year two, it was clear that we required additional space to serve the city’s appetite for The Cut & Craft’s signature hospitality.

“The brand’s deep affinity with the Victoria Quarter and the heritage of the building played an essential role in the decision to grow here.
“We want to thank our regular guests and everyone who has joined us at The Cut & Craft Leeds since opening and we look forward to entering this exciting new chapter with you all.”
