Cinnabon is bringing its iconic cinnamon rolls to Leeds city centre.
Since its launch back in the 1980s, Cinnabon has become a sensation across the globe for its ooey-gooey, sugary sweet delights.
Freshly baked, soft cinnamon rolls absolutely covered in sticky, smooth icing - this is the ultimate bakery treat.
Having opened its first Yorkshire site in Wakefield back in 2021, the chain is now setting up shop in Leeds city centre and we couldn't be more excited.

The new site will be on Commercial Street, an area which has seen a lot of development over the past year.
Customers can indulge in a range of options, from the Cinnabon Classic to the Cinnabon MinniBon, the same original recipe but in miniature form.
There's also a chocolate flavour, a caramel pecan flavour and a Lotus Biscoff flavour as well as seasonal specials. Either pop by for one bun or pick up a box of two, four or six.
There will also be a cold drinks menu with iced coffees, homemade lemonades or fruit coolers.

Of course there will also a selection of hot drinks on offer, so you can grab your go-to coffee order to compliment your morning Cinnabon delight.
Cinnabon was created by father and son duo:"who set out on a mission to create the world’s greatest cinnamon roll from scratch.
"After months of trial and error, one master baker and hundreds of different recipes, they finally created the perfect roll."
Cinnabon now has over 25 locations across the UK, so guests can enjoy their world-famous rolls wherever they go. An official opening date has yet to be announced, but will be confirmed soon.

Co-founder Sam Grainger, inspired by countless trips to Mexico, says: “Mexico is alive with passionate artisans and cooks, mastering everything from street tacos to regional delicacies. It’s a world where traditions blend and evolve and we’ve built that ethos into the heart of both Madre and Salon Madre.”

We’ll keep you up to date with their opening times but for now, we'll see you at Salon Madre for a boogie, margarita and game of pool next week.
Award-winning Leeds restaurant announces shock closure just months after opening
Clementine Hall
Emba in Leeds will be closing its doors with the owner blaming rising costs and pressure on the hospitality sector.
Back in April last year, one of Leeds' top restaurants The Owl closed its doors.
Run by renowned Chef Liz Cottam, The Owl was reimagine into Emba - a trendy restaurant tat bridged 'the gap between cosy bar and vibrant dining room'.
To open Emba, Cottam opened a Crowdfunder where supporters would be awarded with prizes such as VIP dinners and merch depending on how much they donated.
But sadly just months after opening, Emba is to close permanently.
Cottam confirmed the sad news with a statement shared with customers over the weekend, saying she was completely "heartbroken".
She said: “This is no longer the right time to own independent restaurants like Emba,” she said. “Under the current conditions they cannot survive and the recent budget confirmed what so many of us already knew: no meaningful help is coming for hospitality.
"The experience of being here and the harsh financial reality of running a business here no longer stack up.
"Being award winning, popular, admired and loved no longer means profitable and as an industry if we’re honest most of us have not truly been okay since Covid."
She signed off the statement promising to return to the restaurant world, she said: “What I do know is this, I am not done. I will keep cooking, keep creating and keep finding ways to do the thing I love.”
