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.
Leeds restaurant The Cut & Craft has announced further expansion plans for the spring.
Swanky all-day dining restaurant and bar, The Cut & Craft, is expanding its popular Leeds site, investing a whopping £1.2 million to create a new adjoining elegant bar, lounge and private spaces.
Located within the former historic Collinson’s Cafe, the renovation will transform the former neighbouring Paul Smith store, to extend the existing brand offering.
The extension will celebrate the original beauty of the space, whilst acknowledging the legacy of Wallace Hartley - a talented musician who played at Collinson’s Cafe in the early 1900s before his role as bandleader on Titanic during its maiden voyage.

The Grade II-listed building’s features including its iconic glass dome, stained glass and circular central bar will remain, with the addition of two beautifully designed private dining rooms.
The extension is due for competition this spring and will transform the existing venue into a space with seating for an impressive 370 covers.
Oscar Akgul, CEO at The Cut & Craft said: “Planning for this new chapter began within the first year of opening. By year two, it was clear that we required additional space to serve the city’s appetite for The Cut & Craft’s signature hospitality.

“The brand’s deep affinity with the Victoria Quarter and the heritage of the building played an essential role in the decision to grow here.
“We want to thank our regular guests and everyone who has joined us at The Cut & Craft Leeds since opening and we look forward to entering this exciting new chapter with you all.”
