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.
One of the city's best independents is expanding into a bigger premises.
Shokupan on Wellington Street is a proper little gem that food-lovers across Leeds will rave nonstop about if given the opportunity.
Husband and wife team Alan and Alison took inspiration from trips around the world to bring a taste of Japan to the city and over the past few years it's gained a loyal following.
They're famed for their delicious Japanese sandos made with pillow-like fluffy shokupan bread, stuffed with everything from crunchy chicken katsu and flavourful pork to fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
But it's not all just about sandwiches, they also serve rice bowls and katsu curries as well as small bites such as chicken karaage and octopus balls.
Their food is so bloody good, that they've had to find a better location and this time it's slap bang in the city centre on Central Road.
And they're joining brilliant company too, with the likes of House of Koko and Vinyl Grounds as neighbours.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Shokupan said: "You guessed right…we are moving to Central Road, LS1 6DE. We are nearly there…

"All the building work is complete and now we are finishing off the decorating. You might also start to see some signage appearing over the next few days…It has been lovely seeing some of our customers dropping by to see us whilst we slowly lose our sanity.
"Powered on caffeine and determination! Not long to go before we can announce our opening date and welcome you through the doors."
We can't wait to check out the new space, keep an eye on their opening date here.
Cult favourite burger chain Burgerism is officially coming to Leeds this August
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 August.
