The hidden Leeds bakery serving giant cheese twists, pickle sausage rolls and chocolate focaccia

Clementine Hall - 10th August 2026

This spot in the city is baking up some weird and wonderful creations.

But you'll have to act fast if you want to get your hands on them, as it's only open one day a week for all your doughy desires.

Introducing Fold, a focaccia-focused bakery by the talented team behind The Cheesy Living Co.

Rewind to this time last year and with three restaurants flourishing across Leeds, the team needed a space to bake all their bread and sweet treats in-house to supply to sites.

And this is where Fold came in, located underneath the arches of Brussels Street on the outskirts of the city centre - it may take a while to find this spot but once you have, it'll be worth it.

And they're making some of the most inventive bakes that we've seen.

Of course there'll always be a focaccia on offer, with flavours ranging from crispy chilli oil, sesame and spring onion to kimchi, cheese and pistachio.

And it's not just savoury focaccia, you'll even find gooey chocolate and banana focaccia as well as Biscoff waffle focaccia....yep, seriously.

Elsewhere they specialise in gigantic footlong cheese twists with more crispy bits than soft, as well as chorizo and cheese stuffed sausage rolls and a range of freshly baked bagels for you to go home and smear in your cream cheese of choice.

Some seriously spectacular specials have been the gochujang cookies and the 'pickle roll', basically like a sausage roll but with...pickles.

It seems there's really no boundaries for where these bakes will go, and you can guarantee that every visit will be different than the rest.

Only open on Saturdays from 10am - 1pm, Fold are changing the baking game. Pop in and say hello, you won't be disappointed.
