Cafe Cafe — Restaurant in Leeds

A rather bizarre experience. On arrival the greeting was warm and we (my wife and I) were shown to our seats. However the atmosphere and decor were both rather sterile, but we pressed on and ordered a couple of snacks and 2 teas. The menu was a little sparse and looked very simple (I was really hoping for a scone but alas this was not an option).

The food arrived wrapped in grease proof paper - the only thing that made us think we hadn’t accidentally ordered a takeaway was the fact that our teas were brought in teapots to pour into mugs! The grease proof paper made the food a bit soggy (tea cakes and cinnamon toast) and we were genuinely bemused that the food was not brought on plates.

The experience overall was not great, almost comical. We read some other reviews whilst in the cafe and our experience was very similar to some of the more recent reviews.

The coffee quality looked great and I would consider going again in the future when served in porcelaine cups rather than paper (I appreciate this is a covid thing but when sitting in I do prefere...

A nice, small independent café, close to the town centre. Very appealing aesthetics, along with large plastic dividers between tables. The toilets are very nicely equipped with baby changing and everything that could be needed along with a high chair for babies. The staff were very kind and helped us to find a suitable table and they were very prompt with collecting our order. Unfortunately a wait of 15 - 20 minutes was rather large for three paninis and a cheese sandwich but when the food arrived it was delicious and still hot. Overall a very reasonably priced café definitely...
