Moose Coffee is a family-run, independent brunch cafe that serve delicious Canadian-inspired breakfast dishes.
Located on Bond Street just off Park Row, Moose Coffee is the place to go for delicious homemade breakfast food with a Canadian influence.
Before we dive into what we devoured on our trip to Moose, there are two things to make you aware of before you take the plunge.
First of all, make sure you're hungry on the day of your visit because the portion sizes are literally massive and will keep you full for basically the whole day. One things for sure, you definitely get more bang for your buck at Moose than other brekkie spots in the city.

Secondly, the menu is extensive and requires multiple read throughs before making a decision because everything just looks so. damn. good. We recommend perusing the menu online days before you go, which if you're not doing that anyway before any restaurant visit then you're doing it wrong.
Now let's get into it, to wet the whistle we started with an oat milk flat white and a latte, both perked us up on a blustery Tuesday morning and allowed for extra time to scan the extensive menu.
The Manolito was a stand-out dish which featured two warm tortillas filled with homemade refried beans, Moose-style fried eggs, salsa, grated cheddar and sour cream. The cherry tomatoes and coriander on top added a pop of freshness which perfectly counteracted the rich, savoury flavours.

The High Line consisted of their homemade potato hash which is fried on the griddle with garlic, onion and Dijon mustard, all mixed with halloumi, artichokes, peppers, jalapeños, topped with two poached eggs and drizzled with their homemade roasted tomato Cajun ketchup. This was an absolute flavour sensation, every mouthful was different as you combined all the goodies onto your fork and mopped up the gooey egg yolk with a hunk of sourdough toast.
The Sauls Smoked Chicken Cheddar Waffle came drenched in Tabasco infused maple syrup which fans of the sweet-savoury flavour profile would absolutely die for.
And of course we couldn't leave an American brunch spot without ordering a stack of their legendary house pancakes, served with lashings of maple syrup, butter and a dusting of icing sugar. We went for the blueberry stack which gave a satisfyingly sweet burst of flavour in every bite.

Overall we left with full bellies, smiles plastered across our faces and hands laden with takeaway boxes of pancakes which we couldn't resist but tuck into just moments after.
So next time you're hungry for a proper good breakfast, you're a tiny bit (or massively) hungover and need to refuel, then make sure you head to Moose Coffee because we promise you won't be disappointed.

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."
