It will be the 12th Cooplands store to open in Leeds, proving just how popular their baked goods are in the city.
The chain is in the midst of an expansion, having recently opened a handful of new stores across the country. Cooplands also recently teamed up with Heron Foods to launch its own frozen range.
Further stores located across Leeds can be found in Alwoodley, Moortown, Roundhay, Slaid Hill, Otley, Cross Gates, Garforth, Boston Spa, Bramley Shopping Centre and Wetherby.
The new outlet will be selling a range of freshly made sandwiches and indulgent cream cakes, alongside other freshly made bakery favourites like sausage rolls, pies and pasties.
Belinda Youngs, CEO at Cooplands, said “We are very excited to be opening another new shop in West Yorkshire.
"Cooplands is well known for our friendly service, good quality food and good honest value making it a great addition to Adel.”
First founded in 1885 by a young husband and wife, Frederick and Alice Coopland, the northern bakery giant initially began life as a small pork butcher and pie maker - making a name for itself with its bestselling pork pies and savouries.
Today, it is one of the leading bakery outlets in the country with 160 outlets to be found across the UK.
You will be able to find the new Cooplands at 491-493 Otley Road, Adel, Leeds, LS16 7YB, open Monday to Saturday between 7.30 am – 5 pm and 10 am – 4 pm on Sundays.

‘Ugly, run-down’ and ‘untidy’ – Leeds named UK’s tenth best big city
Britain's 20 biggest cities have been ranked, and Leeds has done pretty well.
Although, you wouldn't be able to tell judging by the overwhelmingly lacklustre description we've been given.
The listing comes from The Telegraph and ranks Britain's 20 biggest cities from worst to best, taking into account visitor appeal and where offers most to tourists.
Leeds comes in at a very respectable number 10, however judging from what they've said about our city you'd think we were much, much lower.
Kicking things off, the description reads: "There’s an untidy quality to Leeds, borne of a patchwork of periods in its built environment and the fact that a lot of regeneration is underway (cranes rise at every corner)."

Yep, not off to a good start but it's only down hill from there as Leeds is then said to have a 'certain shapelessness'.
But perhaps the worst part is yet to come: "There are some ugly, run-down streets very close to the centre, and while the Headrow and other high streets have a fair number of shops, there’s no real boulevard or grand square.
"The most atmospheric spaces are Queens Arcade and perpendicular Cross Arcade, and Thornton’s Arcade; Grand Arcade is also Victorian but looks and feels less uplifting."
By the end it starts to get slightly more positive, emphases on 'slightly': "Leeds’ strongest points might be its small size and its north-central location; it’s easy to walk everywhere inside the city, and a short ride away are Ilkley, Skipton and the Dales."
Our visitor appeal gained a 6.5/10, beating Cardiff, Sheffield, Brighton and Nottingham.
Taking the top spot was Liverpool followed by Edinburgh, Belfast and Glasgow. Read the full ranking here.

They've been teasing a second site for some time now but finally the cat is firmly out of the bag as they've announced they'll be bringing Domo to Leeds.
But where might you ask? Well, none other than the scenic location of the Lockside overlooking the canal.
Slotting right in next to BAKE, they're going to be in very good company indeed.

Announcing the exciting news to Instagram, Domo said: "So most of you guessed it right...it’s been a long time coming but Domo 2.0 is finally cooking.
"Here’s a little sneak peek at our week which we’ve mostly spent admiring the views and getting to know the new neighbours …. If you can guess where it is there’s a glass of bubbly on us next time we see you. To be continued ………"
That's all the information we have so far, but we'll keep you in the loop as and when we find out more.
We can't wait to have you here in Leeds Domo, but for now we'll pop round to Sheffield to get our Domo fix and we highly suggest you do too.
