Steam Yard

This lovely little spot is located just off Division Street in Albion Court. The decor is clean, minimal and inviting whilst the coffee has great depth of flavour and most definitely packs a punch. With outdoor courtyard seating, this is the perfect place to grab a coffee in the sunshine and catch up with friends.
They also have a selection of irresistible cakes and pastries, including a lemon meringue cronut which was absolutely heavenly. I mean, a croissant and a donut in one? How could we resist.

Tamper Coffee

Tamper Coffee is a delightful New Zealand inspired cafe who serve up fantastic coffee and a range of brunch dishes. The atmosphere is buzzing with a real community feel to it. Jungle murals line the walls whilst hanging branches fall from the industrial light fittings.
They make their coffee with their own espresso blend which they change quarterly to keep up with the seasons. If you're after food, the cajun spiced squash and corn fritters were to die for; stacked with creamy avocado and topped off with a gooey poached egg. Come in the evening for one of their Tamper espresso martinis or in the morning if you are that way inclined.

Pom Kitchen

If you're looking for an Instagram-worthy picture of your coffee, then Pom Kitchen is the place for you. Bubblegum pink cups are filled with your drink of choice and then topped off with the most wonderfully extravagant toppings you can think of. Choose your coffee from the lovely staff and then get a snap of it outside the heart shaped, flower wall on their window.
Think mini eggs, cookie dough and a furry chick for an easter themed coffee and cherry lips, whipped cream and glacier cherries for a Valentines hot chocolate. The interior doesn't disappoint either with pink walls, a pink coffee machine and lots of cute gifts and trinkets that you can take home.

An independent bakery and coffee shop in Leeds has spoken out after a huge chain opened its doors opposite her cafe.
Savannah Roqaa, owner of The Savvy Baker, has said that she's on a mission to overtake the sales of Blank Street, the massive matcha chain that opened just metres away within weeks of her new site.
She said that while her brand is best-known for its baked goods, they also specialise in high-quality matcha - something Sav says wasn't in good supply in Leeds at the time she opened.
And now she's publicly spoken out about her mission to tempt people away from the big chain and into her independent business.
In a video shared online, Sav has been inviting customers leaving Blank Street to swap their matcha for one of hers, free of charge.
She then remakes the white chocolate matcha herself, but using quality Callebaut white chocolate, melting real chocolate into the drink.
The customer in the video says: "You can tell, it's way sweeter and like actually white chocolate tasting. And the matcha is greener, which is better."

Sav said: "So when we signed the lease on literally the biggest risk ever, which is this huge shop in Leeds city centre, we had absolutely no idea that Blank Street were opening their biggest store in the entire world across the road.
"They are a global brand that is obviously very very popular, and we just wanted to try and at least match their sales."
She said that she's heard Blank Street sells 5,000 drinks every single week and is hoping to increase sales at The Savvy Baker enough to match.
Sav said: "Last week we sold 890 drinks. We've converted one, so that is 4,109 more people to convert...
"But we have a lot more tricks up our sleeve, so follow along to see if we can do it. And we would massively appreciate any support that you can give us."
First look inside Bruncho Leeds, the viral brunch spot serving Yorkshire puddings for breakfast
Daisy Jackson
One of Manchester’s most popular brunch spots, which always has queues down the street, has made its way across to Leeds at last.
Bruncho has opened on The Headrow this week, bringing its hit products like French toasts, Middle Eastern brunches, and iced matchas, to Leeds city centre.
Bruncho has also made a name for itself with its viral creations, including Labubu Dubai pistachio French toast (how many 2025 buzzwords can you get in one menu item?) and its collection of drinks served at -86°C.
We're sure that their weird and wonderful creations will go down just as well here in Leeds.
Bruncho has taken over the old Foley’s site, letting the unit’s huge arched windows and beautiful dark wooden floors do the talking.
The team have added in plenty of plants, seagrass lampshades, and colourful pieces of art to liven the place up.
But it’s really the menu where the colour kicks in with gusto - starting with the raspberry blue matcha made with 100% pure blue spirulina powder.

There’s also the pistachio and Kinder French toast, topped with loads of pistachios, fresh berries, and an upside-down ice cream cone.
If you prefer a savoury brunch, their New York-style breakfast rolls served in a croissant bun are worth your attention.
And new for Leeds is Bruncho’s new Turkish eggs offering, served inside a giant Yorkshire pudding. Obviously.
As for the counter, you’ll find all manner of creative pastries and bakes, like a Malteser cube pastry and Black Forest cruffin.
