Chances are, if you're a regular in Leeds, you've walked past Doh'hut many a time. Nestled moments from Boar Lane, the doughnut specialists are known in the city as a firm cult favourite- and it's not difficult to see why.
With an ever-changing menu of flavours with light, crisp dough topped with sugar- the sweet treats here are a standout favourite for those looking for a snack on a lunch break, for a weekend treat- or if you're anything like us, you'll find any excuse to head over to Trevelyan Square and drool over the options available until you cave in.
Now, the popular bakers are bringing a new recipe to the city centre, and it's all about sandwiches.
Named 'Things in Bread', the owners of Doh'hut will be transforming what was once the Nicholas Deakin store on Boar Lane into a dedicated sandwich store.
Making the announcement on Instagram last night, Doh'hut wrote:
"We’re opening a sandwich shop….Finally I picked up the keys to next door this morning, literally next door to bring you lovely people of Leeds the proper lunch you deserve!
Classic Proper British Sandwiches , Egg & Cress, BLT , Ham and Cheese & loads more.... sounds basic while I’m writing this but I promise you these sandwiches are anything but! If you’ve had our sandwiches you know we do them right & so excited to finally have the space to do them better than ever. Made to order & bread baked fresh every day!
"Works begin asap and hope to get open as soon as we can!"

The announcement has since had 1,400 likes with countless comments from Leeds' bars, restaurants, bakeries, foodies and everyone in between offering congratulatory messages, with many asking to start placing orders well before the store opens.
Whilst there's no set menu announced just yet, the Things In Bread Instagram page has been populated with previous specials, so that customers have an idea of what to expect upon opening.
To keep up to date with the new venture from Doh'hut, visit Things In Bread on Instagram, and in the meantime, give the doughnuts on Trevelyan Square a go to see what all the fuss is about.

"After years of late nights, strong cocktails, and incredible stories; The Maven will close its doors"
It's a sad day for the Leeds night life scene, as a beloved speakeasy bar has today announced that it will be closing its doors for good.

Announcing the news to their social media, The Maven said: "From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for being our guests over the years and promise that until then, we'll do our best to give you the best nights out on Call Lane."
Luxury Leeds steakhouse to undergo huge £1.2 million renovation
Clementine Hall
Leeds restaurant The Cut & Craft has announced further expansion plans for the spring.
Swanky all-day dining restaurant and bar, The Cut & Craft, is expanding its popular Leeds site, investing a whopping £1.2 million to create a new adjoining elegant bar, lounge and private spaces.
Located within the former historic Collinson’s Cafe, the renovation will transform the former neighbouring Paul Smith store, to extend the existing brand offering.
The extension will celebrate the original beauty of the space, whilst acknowledging the legacy of Wallace Hartley - a talented musician who played at Collinson’s Cafe in the early 1900s before his role as bandleader on Titanic during its maiden voyage.

The Grade II-listed building’s features including its iconic glass dome, stained glass and circular central bar will remain, with the addition of two beautifully designed private dining rooms.
The extension is due for competition this spring and will transform the existing venue into a space with seating for an impressive 370 covers.
Oscar Akgul, CEO at The Cut & Craft said: “Planning for this new chapter began within the first year of opening. By year two, it was clear that we required additional space to serve the city’s appetite for The Cut & Craft’s signature hospitality.

“The brand’s deep affinity with the Victoria Quarter and the heritage of the building played an essential role in the decision to grow here.
“We want to thank our regular guests and everyone who has joined us at The Cut & Craft Leeds since opening and we look forward to entering this exciting new chapter with you all.”
