Award-winning Yorkshire brownie company Love Brownies arrives in Leeds
Love Brownies? You're in for a treat. The award-winning brownie team is bringing their gooey delights to Victoria Gate - opening a flagship store in Leeds later this week
An award-winning brownie cafe has opened a flagship store in Leeds city centre - and they look absolutely delicious.
Visitors can indulge in a variety of tasty treats from the Love Brownies store in Victoria Gate. The Yorkshire-based brownies company are known for their mouthwatering gooey brownies and seasonal menu with hot drinks and sandwiches.
Some of their recent brownie varieties include caramel fudge, fresh raspberry, coconut and chocolate orange.
For vegans or those with allergies, Love Brownies has made an exceptional effort to ensure that there are plenty of flavours to choose from. Think morello cherry, double chocolate, mint and more.
If that doesn't make your stomach rumble in a ravenous plea, what will?
Established in 2009, the first Love Brownies store opened in Ilkley in 2016. Their debut store, amongst others around the north, boasts an array of Yorkshire-sourced dishes. Of course, sampling a brownie is essential, but the breakfast and lunch menus constantly exceed expectations, leaving Love Brownies with die-hard returning customers.
Opting for a frothy beverage is also a must at any store. Choose from indulgent milkshakes, freshly roasted coffee and notoriously delicious hot chocolates.

The flagship store will be the sixteenth in the United Kingdom, but online brownie orders can be made for those that cannot reach a physical store. Online, brownie-lovers can also purchase subscription boxes, to keep that sweet tooth satisfied all year round, all from the comfort of your home.
The Love Brownies Leeds will be open to the public from Thursday 9 October, so get ready to tempt those taste buds and make your way to Victoria Gate this week.

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.
