Friendly café in Leeds

“A quintessentially British tea room; beautiful with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff are absolutely lovely and make you feel right at home. Perfect spot for tea and a slice of something sweet!”

“This was my first visit, the staff were very kind and helpful. The food is very tasteful and excellent. I usually dont like avacado but this time it tasted very nice and flavourful. The atmosphere is quiet and perfect for studying or working.”

“Absolutely lovely, nice cake options. Lots of vegan and gluten free treats. Lovely seevice.”

“What a amazing place the Persian coffee and the Persian omelette was fantastic. The staff and the atmosphere is lovely. if your planning a tip to Hebden bridge definitely give it a visit.”

“Really delicious! Everything was freshly made and the seafood was top quality. The staff were super friendly and the airfield view was interesting! I'll definitely be back.”

“Visited via attending a birthday party for a 3 year old It was presented well, clearly time taken to make sure that the birthday girl had her name in lights Safety features magnetised gate, high counters out of reach for enquiring hands It was good to have a private party. Food was appropriate and just as requested The play area was just ours to explore, the children loved it. The staff were fabulous, making sure children enjoyed themselves, making sure that food was ready on time, cake cutting was prepared ensuring that all present has a good time.”

“Me and my mum always get ham and cheese panini with a Nutella pancake you should totally try it out because it is sooooo good but new members of staff might not know how to make it too good they try their best but I love this place and it's one of my favourites”

“Great place, food was amazing and my Favourite German beer on tap, it’s great to see a diverse selection of beers / drinks on offer. The staff were also very attentive.”

“Best coffee around. Much better value as well than some of the newer establishments - double the size for the same price. And they have loads of nice little handmade gifts - great at Christmas and for birthdays when you want to find something different.”

“A great little coffee shop with an extremely tasty Americano and hot milk at a very respectable price. Will definitely visit again.”

“Was just passing by and grabbed some lunch on the go, I went for the boneless jerk chicken box with rice and salad with a piece of carrot cake. The salad was a 10/10 everything was so fresh and included a lot more than I expected.. potatoes, olives, pasta, peppers. The rice peas and chicken was amazing and also had lots of nice sauces to choose from. If I was from Bradford this is somewhere I’d be visiting a lot more. Customer service was great to”

“We visited here today for afternoon tea... The tea room was beautifully decorated with lots of antiques from various eras and the ceiling was a great feature to the room! We loved the overall vintage theme! :) The Waitresses were very warm welcoming and friendly The afternoon tea was very tasty, just the right mix of sweet and savory food, the sandwiches tasted very fresh and the cakes were light and fluffy. We loved the entire experience of the afternoon tea and will definitely be returning soon. Hopefully next time I won't leave my phone ha ha !”

“Gorgeous food and great people creating and maintaining ome of the best vibes and atmospheres in a beautiful little coffee house. All are welcome is their motto and you can tell, you feel welcome from the first moment you step through the door . Thank you for looking after us”

“Went in for first time today. Sandwich was straight up delicious. Guy who served me was polite. £5 for the sandwich was totally worth it. Will be back.”

“Great food, lovely setting. And coffee from people who really know and care about coffee. Decent cakes, too. I've twice attended coffee tasting events here.”

“This place is amazing. The staff are really friendly, happy to recommend drinks and food, and have a random chat. We stayed for a few drinks and they were really high quality. Had some great beers and then a few gin and tonics (love fever tree). Nice nibbles of charcuterie and cheeses.”

“Highly recommend! Came 2 weekends in a row and already looking forward to my next visit. Great menu and they use top quality ingredients (so reasonably priced too). The staff are so friendly and very accommodating.”

“Great little find, right next door to diggerland. Plenty of choice, friendly staff, very chatty and helpful. Massive choice of drinks and customisation. 20oz xl boy £4.40 (i think). Fresh, hot, decent cup and lid that didn't spill. My new go to before diggerland. Didn't realise they did hot food, I'll try that next time.”

“Very pleasant first time visit to Aroma today. Enjoyed an American and a panini. Service was very friendly, lovely smiles all round, very polite. Thoroughly enjoyed the panini and the coffee was very good too. Would recommend.”

“Lovely little cafe nestled in Selby. The food is excellent and great value for money. Adaptations to orders were considered and executed exactly as requested. Friendly and prompt service too. I will be back!”

“Awesome café, quality food ingredients, great bean to cup coffee ☕ lovely staff, try it what more could you want in a cafe? Been back for a late lunch.... still top notch! Popped in for Coffee and granola slice today still banging.It's nice to treat yourself go on you know you want to.”

“Had an amazing yoghurt bowl here, along with a huge and delicious cinnamon bun :)”

“Good food, good price, good portion, friendly staff. We came here with a dog and she was also welcomed. Will come again”

“Great staff and great coffee. Sophia made me the best coffee I’ve ever had. Highly recommended”

“The manager (Eric) was very friendly and helpful! Lovely place to have coffee”

“Took a punt on this place as i had a craving for pancakes. Not disappointed, absolutely delicious! Parking can be difficult at busy times as its mostly on main road. A little gem with a good sized drink of tea.”

“Proper stacked brownies and blondies. I challenge anyone to buy a box of tray bakes, on a Friday, thinking they'll save them to eat over the weekend. It's almost impossible.”

“The best breakfast I've had in an age, bar none. A pleasant, clean and welcoming place, well lit and comfortably furnished. The staff were welcoming and tolerant of our prevaricating over what to have for breakfast. We all chose brunch options - eggs benedict; sourdough with avocado; and, sourdough with beetroot; plus a side of pancakes! I had the beetroot dish - Whipped Feta & Beets. Toasted sourdough with chilled pickled beets and a poached egg was an unexpected winner - the warmth of the bread with the flavour and chill of the beets, combined with the whipped feta, were a sensation. Sense of taste, texture and temperature running riot in my mouth with every bite. I had a large black Americano to wash it down - a flavoursome coffee - and felt genuine disappointment as I savoured the final mouthful of beets and bread, Great breakfast venue, thoroughly recommended.”

“See the update at the end of this original review. We have been coming here since the very beginning. It started with a kiosk while the cafe was being finished. We were extremely impressed by the fabulous coffee and brilliant staff. When Caffe Valeria was opened we knew we had found “our” place! We visit often, both as a couple and some times with friends. The coffee is and the choice of cakes and pastries is excellent. The staff are always smiling and making us feel welcome. All the staff are helpful and kind. We must mention George, Liv and Olly as going above and beyond to make us feel special. Please don’t change a thing. Helen and David Update, George, Liv and Ollie (the stars of Valeria’s) have all left taking its heart with them. We no longer go there. Staff could be better trained, owner unpleasant. We feel we have lost something very special.”

“What a lovely independent coffee shop. Lovely friendly staff, who were so cheerful and warm. Coffee was excellent. Cheese and Ham Toastie was superb, generous with the ingredients. Cakes looked amazing. The place was really busy, while the chain coffee shop next door was empty! Spotless toilets! Outside seating too. Right next to the Cathedral.”
