Here in Leeds, we are inundated with bottomless brunches. Wolfox's bottomless brunch is one of the latest to come to our attention and it comes with unlimited Prosecco.
The ninety minute experience costs £34 per person and comes with one brunch dish of your choice and free-flowing Prosecco throughout.
The cafe-bar have kept their bottomless brunch menu short, sweet and full of all the dishes they do best, including their farm-to-table breakfast plates.

For meat-eaters, the Farm Breakfast consists of: organic bacon, pork sausage, tomato, sauteed mushroom, braised beans, hash brown, organic poached egg served with freshly baked sourdough, and will cure your hangover before you even stop drinking- at least we think that's how it works.
The vegan Fox Farm alternative is the menu of dreams for anyone with a plant-based diet. Think Beetroot Falafel, hummus, fresh avocado, wilted spinach, sauteed mushrooms, braised beans, hash brown served with freshly baked sourdough.
Considering all dietary needs, Wolfox's brioche toast is also available as a vegan or meat dish. Made up of organic French toast with berry compote, served with blood orange creme and vegan maple syrup and Bacon upon request, this sweet and savoury dish is a brunch classic.

Wild mushroom is also on the menu: sauteed wild mushroom on toast served with red onion relish and macadamia cream, finished with a sprinkle of Porcini dust, as well as Pan Con Tomate, crushed peas with mint and dill served on freshly baked sourdough. Topped with fresh tomato salsa and toasted hemp seeds.
If those options still don't take your fancy, the Wolfox Spring Hash, Le Grande Benedict or Fox Pancakes are sure to tempt you- after all you need something to wash down all that Prosecco with, so you may as well choose your favourite.

A list of the UK's best independent coffee shops for 2026 has been released, and one in Leeds has come up trumps.
The coffee shop in question may come as no surprise to some of you, as some would say that after 15 years in the city it's become somewhat of an institution.
Of course it's none other than Laynes.
Founded in 2011 by Dave Olejnik, Laynes began life on New Station Street and quickly became one of the first venues in Leeds to focus on carefully sourced and roasted coffee beans, helping lead the way for the city's now-thriving independent coffee scene.

It's a proper Leeds staple at this point, sat proudly with its glowing yellow exterior and queues out the door full of punters looking for their morning caffeine fix.
But it's not just us who think it's flipping fantastic, as a new study has revealed the top 10 most popular independent coffee shops in the country and Laynes comes in at a very respectable number 8.
The list, made by Capital on Tap, analysed coffee across the UK looking at Google reviews, monthly searches and social media success.
Laynes was in some pretty good company including Idle Hands in Manchester and Kaf Coffee in Glasgow. But most importantly, none of the top 10 were in London - make of that what you will.
The top 10 most popular independent coffee shops for 2026:
Neighbourhood Café, Belfast
Colonna & Small’s, Bath
Established Coffee, Belfast
Hard Lines Coffee, Cardiff
Rough Handmade, Liverpool
Idle Hands Coffee, Manchester
Full Court Press, Bristol
Laynes Espresso, Leeds
Kaf Coffee, Glasgow
Dom’s Coffee, Cambridge
Bravo Laynes, a well earned accolade for one of our favourite spots in the city.
A bakery serving giant NYC-style cookies and fluffy cinnamon buns has just opened in Leeds
Clementine Hall
If you've got a seriously sweet tooth, then you're going to love this new opening.
It seems like there's been a flurry of new bakeries popping up in and around Leeds recently, and we're certainly not complaining.
Introducing Crumbb, a beautiful new bakery that has just opened its doors on Hyde Park Road just moments outside of the city centre.
Owner Naila started the businesses as a wholesaler six years ago, stocking up local businesses from far and wide with sweet treats.

Since then, Crumbbs opened its first location in Bradford just a few months ago that has been nothing short of a resounding success. So much so, that Crumbbs 2.0 was born right here in Leeds a few days ago.
Right, let's talk you through what's on offer.
For the sweet toothed out there, there's a whole myriad of treats for you to enjoy. We're talking giant NYC-style cookies, fluffy cinnamon buns topped with gooey icing, brownies slices, cookie muffins, rocky road, flapjack, the list is truly endless.

You can even get warm cookie trays and hot brownies to enjoy in house that can be topped with ice cream or thick custard.
And it doesn't stop there, Crumbbs also whip up freshly baked savoury focaccia slices as well as cheese twists, pizza slices and savoury rolls filled with creamy mozzarella and herbs.
They've also got a fabulous drink selection on offer including matcha, coffee and hot chocolates.
Located in Headingley, we've got a feeling this spot is going to be a huge hit with students and locals alike looking to get their sweet treat fix. But they'll have to beat us to it first.
