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.

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.

A new Souvlaki Corner is set to open in south Leeds.
If you're a Leeds local who loves food, then you'll have most likely heard and dined at Souvlaki Corner.
It's an absolute gem of a restaurant and takeaway, situated in Wortley selling fabulous authentic Greek food at a great price.
And now they're opening a new site in the nearby town of Morley which is going to be even bigger and better. Get in.
The new site will feature a bigger space with more seating, offering both dine-in and takeaway options, as well as a brand-new bar.

Now you're talking our language.
Souvlaki Corner told The Hoot: "We’re excited to confirm that Souvlaki Corner will be opening a new site in Morley, Leeds. Our targeted opening is in around four weeks, although we don’t have an exact opening date yet and will confirm this closer to the launch.
"One of the highlights of the new restaurant will be a traditional Greek spit where we will cook whole lamb in the proper Greek way. It will be cooked over charcoal to give the authentic Greek flavour that people would experience in Greece.

"Our chefs are Greek, bringing authentic knowledge and experience from Greece. The interior design will also reflect the style of the Greek islands, so when people visit they will feel like they are stepping into a little part of Greece."
They continued: "Souvlaki Corner was created to bring authentic Greek street food to Leeds, focusing on freshly grilled souvlaki, gyros, and traditional flavours served quickly and affordably. Since launching our first location, the response from customers has been fantastic, and Morley felt like the natural next step as we continue to grow."
Neighbourhood Leeds bistro hailed as ‘a bit horny’ and ‘brilliant’ by national critic Camilla Long
Clementine Hall
Food critic Camilla Long visited Leeds for her latest review for The Times with her sights set on Horsforth's finest - Bavette Bistro.
Ever since opening back in 2024, Bavette Bistro nestled in the leafy suburb of Horsforth has made waves across the country for its sheer brilliance.
It's pretty much received five star reviews across the board and been handed awards from left, right and centre. And rightly so.
The Good Food Guide crowned Bavette the best local restaurant of 2024, and Michelin handed them a well deserved Bib Gourmand - so it's safe to say it's not just us who think it's really something special.
So it was only a matter of time until The Times popped in for a review, and this one is truly glowing.

The review labels Bavette as "warm, unmannered and unpretentious" as well as "authentically French".
Long describes the food as "gorgeous, confident, surprising" with a menu that "isn’t too long" and "filled with sturdy, noble dishes, whiffing mightily of the sea and the soil."
It continues: "All of it made with generosity and cheer, served fast by nimble waiters, with a long, if slightly eccentric, wine list. To bang out French dishes with this much fiddly detail and to do it to a full room is not easy. Yet all four courses came in under two hours, for about £75 a head, which in London terms is nothing.
"It’s not that this place was perfect, it’s that it was decidedly not perfect. A bit too much chat about the menus; the oeufs in the meurette not quite runny enough. But the point is: it didn’t matter. All of it came charmingly together. It felt relaxed, just right."
The review is then wrapped up with a pleasing five stars, the cherry on top of the cake.
It's a review only restaurants can dream of, and we can't think of a more deserving team - congratulations Bavette.
