Modern café atmosphere in Leeds

“This is a great, family owned local cafè with delicious menu options and fantastic kind, friendly and efficient service. The atmosphere is lovely, with the choice to eat indoors or outside. The food is outstanding and, though expensive, the portion sizes are good and the taste is amazing. I was very glad we visited and I will certainly be going back again. A not-so-secret gem practically opposite the village green. Loved it!”

“We came here as part of our York Ghost Week experience and loved every second of it! The staff is always so kind and helpful, and the food was delicious. I love the Yorkshire cream tea, and heated scones. Also loved the limited edition Chocolate ghosts, wonderful job!”

“Cheap and cheerful was able to swap and change different items of food really friendly staff the cafe was clean full breakfast £8.50”

“An amazing place. Service is fantastic and food is so nice”

“Absolutely beautiful setting, outstanding service and the food...OH...MY...DAYS....amazing. The service staff were above and beyond and honestly, never stopped smiling and it was so lovely to see. We had the mussels and the open beef sandwich, both of which were stunning; compliments to the chef. Definitely worth a trip over to Skipton for and we'll be back ....soon”

“Visited the café for lunch while looking around the gallery, and it was so good we returned for breakfast a few days later. Food was absolutely delicious - high quality, flavoursome ingredients and service with a smile.”

“Excellent food with polite and friendly staff all in a nice atmosphere I can't recommend them highly enough”

“Wide variety of foods across the week”

“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”

“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”

“10/10 banging food every time would recommend going here rather then jack dammes”

“Amazing place, absolutely love and come back to. The focaccia sandwiches are great, the Mortadella could do with some pesto/more flavour but the Focaccia caprese is great. It’s always busy with a great atmosphere in a lovely little square with seating outside. Would recommend !!”

“The best Greek food in Hyde Park that is very reasonably priced for what you get! Large portions of tasty food every time I go. Good location to Hyde Park itself and staff are always friendly and attentive. Nice decor inside as well. Definitely recommend!”

“We nipped in this morning for a quick Sunday morning breakfast. We’ve been coming here since it was Sebby’s and has generally been a nice reliable place for breakfast and brunch. I was quite impressed by the menu, it had a nice mix of traditional brunchy style stuff with a few more exciting dishes like a szechuan pork belly dish, and smashed peas on toast. I had the black bean hash with extra bacon (usually comes with chorizo but I’m not a big fan) while my husband had a veggie halloumi breakfast bun thing. Both were really tasty. Every part of my meal was cooked well, and the potatoes were so crisp and fluffy. My only criticism was that it was a little over salted even in the absence of bacon. The egg and crème fraiche balanced it out a little though. But overall I’d order it again and it was exceptional value for money given the portion size and the quality of the food. Service was friendly and swift, and there was a steady flow of people through the cafe without being overwhelming so the atmosphere was nice. Would have loved to buy a breakfast pastry but it was only cake on offer at the counter (albeit delicious looking cake!) I ordered a chai latte which was creamy and spicy and served in generous sized cup. One of the nicer chai lattes I’ve had. Overall I paid £30 for the two of us, which I think is very reasonable given the quality of the food and drink. We will continue to come here, and I’m keen to try a few of the other menu items. We’ve been going to a few similar style places in Leeds for breakfast and while others have dipped in service/range/food quality, Loaf seems to have maintained its high standards.”

“Absolutely blown away by the service! Our waitress, a vibrant redhead with the energy of a Broadway star, was nothing short of amazing. She zipped around the restaurant like lightning—every table checked on with perfect timing. But what really made the experience unforgettable? She sang her way through the day! Humming little tunes, belting out a few cheerful notes between tables—it was like being served by the lead in a musical. Her joy was infectious, and it lifted the whole atmosphere. You can tell she’s the owner as she was doing pretty much every job going! Five stars, easily. Can’t wait to come back!”

“Cosy place ran by people that truly care about the community and it's history”

“Great customer service by Nimra and the staff mashAllah. Amazing atmosphere aswell as very knowledgeable on the menu which helped for somebody who also was with me whom struggled with placing a order to their preference. Was a wonderful time to just break off from work and to enjoy the Pink Kashmiri tea and the desi breakfast too. Will be coming again!!! Another great place in Wakefield. MashAllah.”
