Leeds’ first frozen yoghurt bar is opening in Headingley this weekend

Just in time for spring.

Clementine Hall - 14th April 2026

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.

Ireland’s famous fast food phenomenon, the spice bag, has landed in Leeds Kirkgate Market

Clementine Hall

You can now grab the ultimate hangover cure at our very own Kirkgate Market.

And it comes from none other than The Fisherman's Wife - a Leeds institution that has been serving up fantastic fish and chips for over 60 years.

But now, they're turning their attention to spice bags.

If you have no idea what we're talking about then allow us to fill you in. And we'd recommend pouring yourself an ice cold glass of water, because it's about to get real salty up in here.

The spice bag is an Irish delicacy that is often devoured after a few Guinness on the streets of Dublin, for example.

It consists of shredded and battered chicken, chips, onions and peppers - all deep fried, loaded into a bag and tossed in lashings of salt and pepper seasoning.

Oh, and of course dipped or lathered in a sauce of your choosing. The classic being curry sauce, obviously.

It's been available in Leeds once before at a pop-up in Trinity Kitchen, but now The Fisherman's Wife is here to make them a permanent option for anyone with that salty craving.

You've got a couple of flavours to choose from too, including peri-peri, plain, salt & chilli and of course the classic salt & pepper.

You can then add a drizzle of sriracha, curry sauce (obviously) or sticky honey if you're looking for that sweet and salty balance.

The best part? They're selling these for just £6.50.

So next time you've had a few too many the night before, get yourself to The Fisherman's Wife inside Leeds Kirkgate Market's food hall and get yourself a spice bag. You'll be cured in no time.
