Valentine's Day is around the corner, and whoever you're showing your affection for this V-day, a sweet treat is always a great gift.
Whether you want to shower yourself in self-love and get yourself a foodie treat or are you looking for a gift for a friend or partner, we're convinced this is the best all-round crowdpleaser for that all important day.
The Valentines Brownie from the Savvy Baker is essentially a giant slab of chocolatey goodness, but all four come with a heartfelt message, including hilarious quotes like 'cute butt' and 'I heart your d*ck', and the wholesome 'my fave human' and 'happy bestie day'.
Each brownie is priced at £15.50, a bargain given you can usually get four brownies from £12.00.
If your recipient is a cookie monster in the making, there's a cookie box available for the occasion too. Or, if you'd prefer not to send a chocolatey message to your valentines at all, there's always the giant stacks, made from a seemingly unlimited number of Leeds famous brownies.
Incase you haven’t met The Savvy Baker before, the lockdown-success bakery has grown from owner Savanah Roqaa's kitchen into a two cafe and endless pop-up brownie empire, gaining a cult following for its delicious baked goods in the process.
Brownies, blondies, stacks and slabs are just a few of the items available on sale. One of our latest discoveries is the Rolo and Caramel Brownie Pot, a chocolate ganache and gooey caramel with layers brownie chunks and perfect to satisfy that sweet craving.
Both Savvy's stacks and slabs, along with the rest of their bakes, are available for collection from the Roundhay cafe or post Leeds pre-ordered for valentines day or any special occasion.
Valentine's Day Orders close on Wednesday 8 February 2023 to be dispatched on Thursday 9 and Friday 10 February so that you can get your brownie fix in time for Valentines Day.
Collection from Lidgett Lane Cafe in Roundhay will be on Saturday 11 February and Sunday 12 February 2023.

Leeds’ first frozen yoghurt bar is opening in Headingley this weekend
The frozen yoghurt craze is on its way to Leeds as Kefiyo is set to open in Headingley in just a few days.
It's a phenomenon that has caught the attention of the TikTok and Instagram girlies as of late, with frozen yoghurt bars popping up in Manchester and going viral online.
The ice cold sweet treat is supposedly 'healthy' and with a slogan of 'eat Clean. feel Light. live Better.' - this new spot in Leeds seems to be going down that route too.
Kefiyo will be opening in the old Sixes site on Ash Road in Headingley, and they've just announced that they'll be soft launching this Sunday 19 April 2026.
The space is already sporting a super cute pastel green and pink exterior, and it's exactly matching the aesthetic that you'd expect with froyo.
Kefiyo will offer a range of frozen yoghurt flavours with a whole bunch of toppings for you to customise to your tastebuds, as well as fresh acai bowls.
Situated slap bang in the centre of Headingley, we've got a feeling it'll be very busy with students on their way to their morning lecture or at night for those looking for a sweet treat that doesn't feel too naughty.
We'll keep you updated on more Kefiyo updates as and when we find out.
But in the meantime, you can keep an eye on their socials here. We'll see you soon for a scoop Leeds.
Cult favourite burger chain Burgerism is officially coming to Leeds this summer
Clementine Hall
An award-winning burger chain is coming to one of Leeds' suburbs.
If you don't know Burgerism, then get to know.
The Manchester-based burger chain is known by many for its incredible smash patties and quick, reliable service.
Their concept is simple: good burgers made with quality ingredients and cooked fresh to order. Delicious.
And it's not just burgers, they've also got some great wings and fries available too with a range of homemade sauces on offer for dunking, drizzling and devouring. We're a particular fan of the buffalo wings with their garlic ranch dip.
The chain used to have a dark kitchen on the outskirts of the city where people could order via Deliveroo, however this closed down and since then there's been a Burgerism-shaped hole left in our foodie scene.

Burgerism recently applied to move into a vacant shop unit in Meanwood at 605 Meanwood Road, seeking change-of-use planning permission for the former Papa Johns site which was previously only allowed to serve...well, pizzas.
And the plans have now been approved, which means Burgerism will officially be coming to Leeds. Hurray!
Burgerism's new takeaway will be walking distance from the The Meanwood Tavern, perfect for those looking for some post-pint burgers.
It will be strictly takeaway with no dine-in option available.
The brand-new Burgerism will employ 15 people from the local area with food being served between 11am and 11pm.
We'll keep you up to date as and when we find out more, but for now we're aware that Burgerism Leeds is set to open this summer.
