Completing the 'All Things Dough' trilogy, BAKE is a nostalgic British bakery concept serving all the classics with precision and flare.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Tom Stafford the absolute legend behind Things In Bread and Doh'hut, said: "We're thrilled to announce the third and final culinary venture to complete the 'All Things Dough' trio. First up, we brought you doh'hut, dishing out mind-blowing, award-winning donuts that send your tastebuds into a frenzy.
"Then came Things In Bread, quickly becoming your go-to spot for the tastiest sandwiches in town. But hang tight, because now we're introducing BAKE...a classic British bakery serving up hearty and nostalgic treats, every item is carefully finished with a touch of Parisian finesse."
We don't have much information yet, but what we do know is that it will be in Leeds city centre and it's going to be your new one-stop-shop for everything flakey, buttery and delicious.
"Swing by in the morning for fresh pastries, a variety of bread baked on-site, and speciality coffee to go. For those with time to spare, we encourage guests to hang around, savour every bite (or sip), and enjoy the environment that we've created. "
Finally, a more recent post from Tom himself said: "Think Buff Vanilla Slices, Levelled Up Cheese twists straight from the oven. Il keep the rest a secret for now."
Tom, you had us at the words "levelled up cheese twists".
Expected to open in 2025, we'll keep you up to date with everything BAKE and you can follow their Instagram page to keep an eye on any updates.
Leeds health nuts assemble, because acai bowls and superfood smoothies are coming to a city near you.
Incase you've been living under a rock for the past year or so, you may not be clued up on the whole acai bowl trend that has been sweeping up the nation.
Acai is a super berry grown and harvested in the Amazon rainforest, and not only is it absolutely delicious but it has a myriad of health benefits.
Acai and the Tribe first opened four years ago in Manchester, and ever since then it's only gone from strength to strength opening up three other locations across the country.

Next stop? Leeds. And we couldn't be happier about it.
So, what can we expect from this aesthetically-pleasing and ultra trendy female-owned business? Well, loaded acai bowls that look almost too good to eat, superfood smoothies, coffees, matcha and savoury options like avocado toast.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Acai and the Tribe said: "You asked, we listened. LEEDS… your new lifestyle arrives soon."
They will be opening on 88 Vicar Lane as part of the Vicar Lane regeneration scheme, which has already scene some great new restaurants being announced such as Sticks'n'Sushi and Dishoom.
It seems like this part of town is suddenly going to be the place to be, and we're very happy to see it.
We'll keep you updated with opening dates as and when we know more but for now, you can find out more about Acai and the Tribe here.
Leeds has been crowned the best city in the UK for foodies outside of London
Clementine Hall
It's fantastic news for our city as Leeds has been crowned one of the best cities in the UK for foodies.
It's news that we've been pretty certain of for some time, but it's still nice to be recognised isn't it?
It comes from a new study carried out by credit card brand Aqua who analysed 30 major UK cities across a range of dining and social media metrics, including cuisine variety, restaurant availability, meal affordability, Michelin recognition and TikTok hashtag volumes.
Coming in at number on was, of course, London.

With 47 cuisines, 22.5 restaurants per 10,000 residents and 81 Michelin-starred establishments, the capital unsurprisingly continues to dominate the UK’s culinary scene.
But in at number two was our glorious city of Leeds, supported by the highest restaurant density in the study, with 38.5 establishments per 10,000 people, and strong affordability compared with cities in the south.

We will absolutely take that.
Other northern spots to feature on the list include Sheffield and Bradford in sixth and eighth place.
The top ten UK cities for foodies are:
London
Leeds
Nottingham
Edinburgh
Wolverhampton / Leicester
Sheffield
Birmingham / Glasgow
Bradford / Swansea
Preston
Milton Keynes
Here in Leeds we've got so many fabulous food spots, with new openings cropping up every month it's hard to keep track.
From the multi award-winning Bavette Bistro in Horsforth to the highly acclaimed indie Bundobust that started off in Leeds - you certainly won't find yourself hungry or at a loss for somewhere to eat here.
