This new artisan gelato store is serving Leeds with charcoal ice cream and purple ube dough-latos
Think warm baklava desserts stuffed with fresh chocolate hazelnut gelato (like a Kinder Bueno gelato) and vegan brownies, available with dairy-free gelato.
Hidden in plain sight: KULT Gelato is the brand-new artisan gelato store that's taking the Leeds dessert scene into unchartered territory.
Having been open a few short weeks, KULT Gelato is the new kid on the block- and quickly becoming a sensation for its homemade gelato and desserts.
Inspired and created by machinery straight from the motherland, KULT Gelato makes all of its Italian treats in-house, with a keen focus on producing and preserving fresh gelato.
Serving up authentic Italian flavours like pistachio and hazelnut with bueno, as well as unique additions like blueberry cheesecake, charcoal-infused vanilla and ube (that's a purple sweet potato to you and I), there's only eight flavours available at any given time.
Served up opposite Kirkgate Markets on New Market Street, this hidden gem has plenty to offer for the palette. Think warm baklava desserts stuffed with fresh chocolate hazelnut gelato (like a Kinder Bueno gelato) and vegan brownies, available with dairy-free gelato.
The standout choice here is the dough-lato. A simple but innovative concept: a doughnut is filled with your choice of gelato- though Ube is the recommended choice- before being cooked and chopped in half to reveal a gooey combination that perfectly balances sweet and savoury.

Topped with sauces aplenty and another scoop of gelato, this is the summertime treat you didn't know you needed, but will struggle to forget about.
KULT Gelato hasn't always been the owner's dream job: harvesting a passion for Italian treats was far from their Law degree aspirations, but when the opportunity to take over a spot in the heart of the city centre: everything changed.
Working tirelessly to complete the renovation process and investing in authentic Italian gelato-makers has led to an exciting career change that's serving the Leeds locals with a whole host of sweet treats to takeaway or eat in.
Down a small staircase, KULT Gelato hides a small dining area with eight tables to host small gatherings and groups, complete with neon lighting, retro postcards and a giant full length mirror to turn each visit into a potential social media moment for selfie-enthused guests.

If that's not enough, there's soft serve ice cream with dual flavouring: presently a dreamy pastel combo of Ube and Vanilla, on offer, as well as milkshakes, cookie dough, cherry pies.
Open every day of the week, this is the dessert stop for all weather occasions: but the impending heat wave will make the perfect backdrop to these incredible flavours.
For more information on KULT Gelato, you can follow their Instagram page or pop into the New Market Street store for yourself to find out more about their Italian gelato between 12pm - 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays, or until 8pm every other day of the week.

Popular New York-style pop-up pizza business to open first takeaway in Leeds
Announcing the news to Instagram, Edge's Pizza said: "Well there’s good reason for our silence over the last few months, (planning permission pending) we’ve got a home! Seven months of looking and we’ve learnt so much on this journey already, from investment that didn’t work out, to dodgy buildings not fit for purpose. We’ve got there in the end.
"All that to say, we pride ourselves on perfection and wouldn’t settle for anything less. We hope this will be worth the wait, and that you’ll support us on this next huge step. We are terrified to say the least, but we’re also so excited and immensely grateful to you our lovely customers for this opportunity."

This would be great news for Leeds, as their pizza is something unlike anything we have in the city at the moment.
Forget the floppy, Neapolitan-slices that you fold before shoving in your gob. These slices are satisfyingly thin, perfectly crispy and just downright delicious.
We would love to welcome Edges Pizza to the city and we'll keep you updated with the progress. You can bet we'll be the first to order.
Award-wining Leeds sandwich shop Silver’s Deli to open neighbourhood bakehouse
Clementine Hall
Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.
