Two of Leeds' best independents are collaborating on some very special sandwiches.
In a collaboration more powerful than Rihanna and Eminem, Get Baked and Silver's Deli are joining forces to create some very special sandwiches.
It's safe to say that Get Baked is basically a viral sensation, famed for their incredible Bertha cake and most recently their Calpol-flavoured cookies.
A few months ago they opened their newest bakery in Manchester, but their Headingley site is the OG and for that reason us Leeds lot are about to be treated to their newest sandwich menu first. Take that Manchester.

But it's not just any sandwich menu, Get Baked has chosen Silver's Deli to partner up with and we're absolutely buzzing.
Silver's over in Bramley hasn't been around for long, but they've made a name for themselves as the best sandwiches in Leeds and it's easy to see why.
Homemade bread stacked with the very best ingredients, we're particularly fond of their breakfast sandwich featuring cheesy eggs stuffed inside a buttery, glistening brioche bun.
As of tomorrow, Saturday 19 July, you'll be able to get your Silver's fix at Get Baked in Headingley.
And if you head down on launch day, you might be able to bag yourself a free one as they'll be giving away a free hoagie to the first 500 customers.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Get Baked said: "The launch of Silver’s x GB Headingley is fast approaching. Eight sensational sandwiches, with seasonal rotations to keep things exciting for all involved. Mainly you. But also me, really.
"Not been this excited about a hoagie since Subway opened in Leeds when I was a little boy. I remember going with my mum and everything felt so American. Mental to think how good Subway was when it first opened over here — just look at it now, absolute bloody hell hole."
They'll be opening up in Manchester soon, but for now it's Leeds who gets to bask in the carb-fuelled glory.
So get down there from 12pm tomorrow to get a free sarnie, but don't mess about as we see queues on the horizon.
If you've got a seriously sweet tooth, then you're going to love this new opening.
It seems like there's been a flurry of new bakeries popping up in and around Leeds recently, and we're certainly not complaining.
Introducing Crumbb, a beautiful new bakery that has just opened its doors on Hyde Park Road just moments outside of the city centre.
Owner Naila started the businesses as a wholesaler six years ago, stocking up local businesses from far and wide with sweet treats.

Since then, Crumbbs opened its first location in Bradford just a few months ago that has been nothing short of a resounding success. So much so, that Crumbbs 2.0 was born right here in Leeds a few days ago.
Right, let's talk you through what's on offer.
For the sweet toothed out there, there's a whole myriad of treats for you to enjoy. We're talking giant NYC-style cookies, fluffy cinnamon buns topped with gooey icing, brownies slices, cookie muffins, rocky road, flapjack, the list is truly endless.

You can even get warm cookie trays and hot brownies to enjoy in house that can be topped with ice cream or thick custard.
And it doesn't stop there, Crumbbs also whip up freshly baked savoury focaccia slices as well as cheese twists, pizza slices and savoury rolls filled with creamy mozzarella and herbs.
They've also got a fabulous drink selection on offer including matcha, coffee and hot chocolates.
Located in Headingley, we've got a feeling this spot is going to be a huge hit with students and locals alike looking to get their sweet treat fix. But they'll have to beat us to it first.

This spot in the city is baking up some weird and wonderful creations.
But you'll have to act fast if you want to get your hands on them, as it's only open one day a week for all your doughy desires.
Introducing Fold, a focaccia-focused bakery by the talented team behind The Cheesy Living Co.
Rewind to this time last year and with three restaurants flourishing across Leeds, the team needed a space to bake all their bread and sweet treats in-house to supply to sites.

And this is where Fold came in, located underneath the arches of Brussels Street on the outskirts of the city centre - it may take a while to find this spot but once you have, it'll be worth it.
And they're making some of the most inventive bakes that we've seen.
Of course there'll always be a focaccia on offer, with flavours ranging from crispy chilli oil, sesame and spring onion to kimchi, cheese and pistachio.

And it's not just savoury focaccia, you'll even find gooey chocolate and banana focaccia as well as Biscoff waffle focaccia....yep, seriously.
Elsewhere they specialise in gigantic footlong cheese twists with more crispy bits than soft, as well as chorizo and cheese stuffed sausage rolls and a range of freshly baked bagels for you to go home and smear in your cream cheese of choice.

Some seriously spectacular specials have been the gochujang cookies and the 'pickle roll', basically like a sausage roll but with...pickles.
It seems there's really no boundaries for where these bakes will go, and you can guarantee that every visit will be different than the rest.
Only open on Saturdays from 10am - 1pm, Fold are changing the baking game. Pop in and say hello, you won't be disappointed.
