Cielo Coffee in Leeds

This is a lovely oasis in Leeds. We had some excellent coffee with an extremely tasty halloumi and roast pepper in chiabatta, along with soft and fresh Danish pastries. The atmosphere is relaxed, with a choice of settees or tables and chairs, so something for everyone. I highly recommend this lovely coffee shop.

Trabajo cerca y, a menudo, salgo a la hora del almuerzo, solo o con un amigo. Todo el personal es muy amable, el café es muy sabroso servido en tazas y platillos de buena calidad y la selección de pasteles siempre es buena. Recomiendo especialmente la rebanada de hornear aunque la rebanada de coco y chocolate también es una de las favoritas. Los precios son razonables y tienen un esquema de tarjeta de fidelidad.

They do try really hard here and the place was very clean. They really should advertise more on the drinks and upscale.

Dear Open Table - we had a confirmed booking for 6 people for Sat 08/12 - we arrived at the restaurant on time to fine out that it was closed down i.e. NOT TRADING - the whole evening was a complete disaster !! Why can't you make sure that Restaurants are still operating when you take and confirm bookings? Thanks Cindy Lopez

This venue is closed down, brill when you turn up!!!

It was closed, closed, closed, closed, closed, closed, closed, closed

Pasé por aquí la última vez que estuve en Leeds y quedé muy impresionado, con un ambiente agradable y relajado y con un personal amable. Gran café también, definitivamente regresaré la próxima vez que esté en el área

Este es uno de los muchos pequeños cafés que pueden y deben dar a las cadenas una oportunidad por su dinero. Está bien ubicado, es un edificio atractivo y el café es bueno. Se ofrecía tostada de masa fermentada, y sonaba como un buen comienzo del día, así que esto se agregó a la orden, el café estuvo disponible rápidamente, pero debido a la aparente escasez de personal, la tostada demoró demasiado, fue buena a la llegada

If you are looking for a proper cup of coffee and a cake look no further, don’t bother going to the mass American chains, walk that little bit further. The staff are always friendly, efficient and fast. If you are unsure what you want or like they will usually let you try different options. Also they have some unusual blends on offer (I am not a coffee connoisseur but I hear a lot of compliments from other customers). Visit on a regular basis and never been disappointed.

It looks like it's gone out of business! Reservation made but closed when we got there

This restaurant ceased trading 3 days prior to us going. I only found out as I wanted to change our booking time. When I realised the phone line wasn’t connected I telephoned Trinity information who told me the restaurant had closed. I received no notification from Open Table or the restaurant!!!

Food was average, cocktails weren’t great. We lunched at 2pm and there were two other table occupied, shortly after we were the only people in the restaurant, so ambience was non existent. Perhaps would have been better at a busier time of day, but won’t be rushing back. Also very expensive for what it was.

Best restaurant in Leeds for Mexican by far would recommend 100%

Perfect in every way x Fast service with a smile,tasty food and fab cocktails x One of my favourite places to eat x

A bit pricier than some other Mexican restaurants but I thought it was full worth the price. The service could be a bit better- it was quite hard to get a waiter's attention even though the restaurant wasn't busy. Would recommend

Slow service but waitress told us that they were very busy and there might be a wait. Forgot to bring one of our dishes out too. Other than that thought it was good value for money and we were both full!!

Terribl service - had to wait 90 minutes for food which wasn’t my first choice of meal (though there were a number of options unavailable) and turned out to me lukewarm and not that great. Waitress was great though and we got a couple of free drinks and half price meal.

Great attentive service, nothing was too much trouble, staff were great to chat to and very accommodating

Cielo is an independent chain of coffee houses with currently two outlets in the Leeds area and one (oddly perhaps) in the West Midlands. They have their own roastery in Leeds which supplies a number of other cafes (mainly in Yorkshire). I stumbled across the outlet in York Place somewhat by accident and at first wasn't sure if it was actually open - it looked smart enough, and fairly new, but the place was deserted. I took a chance and went in to find that I was the only patron which, at 11am, seemed a little odd. I should not have worried - by around 11.45am the place was pretty busy with business people and visitors. I ordered a latte which was brought to the table when it was ready. The cafe has a good range of cakes and pastries and a modest selection of sandwiches. The decor is contemporary with conventional chairs and tables accompanied by a few sofas and armchairs. Although Cielo is a short distance from the main shopping area, it is located in the heart of the legal/business district so there were several small groups of people discussing projects and deals which gave it a professional feel. Overall it has a friendly atmosphere and was a good experience. Note the opening times: the cafe is obviously aimed at the business community, closing at 4pm during the week and not opening at all at the weekend. If you prefer to support the independent sector when it comes to coffee, this would be a very good choice!

A it sterile. Probably better for daytime food. Not much atmosphere - but it was quiet. Service was great though. For was fast - but not particularly inspiring.

Food always great here super hot day so frozen margaritas were amazing!! Staff are really friendly too well recommended

First time here and will definitely be back! Liked everything from the 6 course sharer except the chicken wings. Great choice of non-alcoholic drinks and I throughly enjoyed the 'Refuel' energiser drink xx

Excellent service and really tasty authentic Mexican food..happy hour would be good here though, surprised there isn't one

Enjoyable evening with great cocktails and yummy food. 3rd time I've been and it is yet to dissapoint.

When we arrived there was no one to greet us but there was a girl polishing cutlery on a near table that had to get up! Restaurant was very quiet yet the service was really poor. I had to ask for cutlery, salt and water several times from different people, which was a really shame because all of the staff were lovely just not very efficient or observant. The staff were just milling about and chatting not really paying much attention to the customers but I feel that’s due to how quiet it was. I got the wrong drink at first & after the meal, when at home, we realised that my partner had not had one of his dishes (the green rice...unsure whether or no we’d be charged). The food was generally ok/ poor with the exception of the steak chimmicuri which was terrible, I’m not a fussy eater and love all food but this was bordering on unedable, the quality of the steak was shocking and the chimmicuri was not as expected. I did politely mention this after the meal when we were asked if everything was ok with our food, the server did say that had we of mentioned this she would of changed it for us.... however it was difficult to attract their attention at the time and we were not asked. This is the second time I’ve eaten here. I wasn’t the biggest fan the first time but the food seems to of gone further down hill, which I’m guessing is why it was so quiet. unfortunately I won’t be returning for a 3rd try. This is a real shame as the outside area is brilliant and in short supply in Leeds. In contract wagamammas next door was heaving.

The location of Cielo Blanco - it's on the top floor of a shopping centre - means it's never going to be the go-to restaurant for a romantic meal or a table with a view....but having said that we had a really nice pre-cinema meal there. The food - Mexican street - is really tasty (and perfect for sharing), the décor is colourful, the service is fast but friendly, and they make a mean margarita!

Visited cielo blanco with family. We have been a few times previously but it was a first time for the other two. The choice and quality of the dishes is exceptional to the point that we ordered too much and still managed to scoff most of it. A great place for sociable, casual dining.

We really enjoyed the food and drinks we bought from the place and the tables where we sat had an outdoors type of vibe. Great place to have a nice lunch or dinner with a date or a group of friends.

Haven’t been to this restaurant for 2 years since we last visited Leeds. In that time the menu has changed and there is not as much choice, the food didn’t seem as good and was more expensive as no offers to take advantage of. It was really quiet when we visited but staff weren’t very attentive or that friendly. We still enjoyed our meal but no where near as nice as we remembered. Won’t be returning to this restaurant when we next visit Leeds.

Super Mexican street food. Great for sharing, vibrant atmosphere with great beers and tequila. Lovely outdoor space for dining and drinks. Relaxed service, perfect for a quick bite or for dinner! Would recommend fish Tacos!

The portions were very small. If they decided to serve tapas instead of a full main meal it should be stated so on the menu. Overall bill was comparable to other restaurants but the amount of food was substantially smaller.

Think we got it on a bad day as has been good before and not everything was awful but horrible cocktail, wrong order then horrible burned food, ( some...other bits ok) vacant staff, intrusive out of date music, no atmosphere etc etc

One of my favourites in Leeds for great food, drink and atmosphere at a reasonable price. If you like Mexican and tapas then this a must try. Been 5 times and enjoyed it every time, plus it has a lovely outside area for the summer time.

We’ve been to Cielo quite a few times and have always enjoyed a great meal. This time however the menu was limited, the steak fatty and portion sizes reduced. We went for an afternoon meal (3pm) but felt that staff were only interested in preparing for the evening sittings. I don’t like the fact that the gratuity is automatically added onto the bill as it is too awkward to ask this to he removed, particularly when this has not been earned. Really disappointed, a normally great restaurant that sadly we won’t be visiting again.

Food is always great, but massively let down by the girl that served us. Obviously couldn't be bothered and was very rude when sorting out the bill/tip. We gave 10% but wish i'd given nothing because she didn't deserve it.

Cocktails could be better and not great value.

Had a lovely meal at Cielo Blanco today with an old friend! We dined from the lunch time street food deal, i was pleasantly surprised how much you get to choose from for just £10 each. We also tried one of the new bulldog cocktails which i haven't seen on the menu before, it was a frozen margarita AND a beer in ONE glass - the best things in life combined!

Really couldn't fault this restaurant, especially the staff - our server Genevieve (sp?) was really helpful and nothing too much trouble! We opted for some tacos(fish and Pork) to share and then on to a sharing board - WOW, this was the highlight of the meal and took some eating! Happily beers and cocktails were on hand to help wash this down! Special mention to the music played which really set the tone of the evening, even for an old fella like me!! Will definitely visit again on my next trip to Leeds............ well done Cielo Blanco

One of my favourite spots in Leeds! Vibrant place with vibrant food to match - Squid Tacos from the new menu are just incredible and the Queso Fundido is a cheese lovers paradise!! All washed down with plenty of margaritas from the cocktail menu. I visited with my better half but will definitely returning to try more of their cocktails with the girls! Staff friendly as always and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in - chatty and full of personality. Already planning my next visit...

Both had the Street Food Experience offer of two dishes and a side for £10 - great value for money and good portion sizes. Started with a queso fundido which was just delicious and then had our mix of street food. Really tasty and a huge drinks menu. We didn't drink as we popped in on a work-break so will definitely be back to try the cocktails!!

Lovely food but exceptional service made it especially good.

Lovely evening. 10 of us in the party. Service was a little bit complacent in places but staff friendly and helpful when we asked for additional things. Good choice of food which came quickly. Value for money was ace, £53 per couple and that included drinks!

Firstly, the staff were really lovely! There were a few issues, as I booked online we were moved outside as there wasn't enough room inside, the atmosphere was lovely anyway so that was fine. I also rang up the week before to add on 4 more guests but when we got there the table was only set up for 10 so we had to squeeze 4 chairs in. The staff did what they could for us but it was a bit of a squeeze. We really enjoyed our meal and the food was great. Will definitely come again just maybe not with a large group.

Nice surrounding, food nice. Different to what would normally have. Very good service. Thank you

The restaurant was a bit cold, We waited along time for anyone to take any order from us . We were just about to leave as no drinks order taken when waitress arrived. The food all came at oncecwhich I thought was strange as we ordered 6 different tapas dishes and expected it to arrive bit by bit when cooked . A lot if the dishes were cold , presume this was alll brought to table at same time, Overall the food was ok but as cold not great,

Great wine selection. Sharing boards are a great eating experience and tasty food.

Great vibe, fab food and good service. Highly recommended.

I have been to cielo Blanco before this was my fourth time of eating. We got in and had to wait a bit for our table at the bar. This wouldn't have been a problem but the bar was rammed and it took 10 mins for us to get a drink. When we got the food it was really poor. The pork tacos were like eating a bowl of salt. Everything was over seasoned or cold. We were really dissapointed as we have enjoyed it in the past. With the amount of choice in Leeds though we will not be going back.

Lovely food and a great atmosphere.<br />Shame to mixed sharing starter is no longer on the menu.<br />The cocktails are a little pricey.<br />Still my current favourite place to eat in Leeds.

Good value for money nice atmosphere fast service <br />Only thing is as a novice when the food came after the waitress told us what it was totally forgot maybe food tags on cocktail sticks

Having visited here last year, I did feel the quality of the food has fallen away also the staff seemed like they wanted to get you in and out in quite a hurry. Don&#039;t think I&#039;ll be going back anytime soon

Lovely food, will definitely come back again couldn&#039;t fault any of it, friendly staff, quick service, great atmosphere

Sharing board was lovely. We also had fresh juices which were very nice &amp; refreshing

Fantastic food, friendly staff just has a fantastic night

Wow! Great Mexican food hits Leeds!!!<br /><br />Never been a lover of Las Iguanas, I was really looking forward to Cielo Blanco and it didn&#039;t disappoint. Special mention to the fab staff who looked after us very well during our visit, very knowledgeable and friendly without being intrusive. <br /><br />Food was cooked well and was very tasty, cocktails are fantastic and good value. Will be back next time I&#039;m in Leeds!!!

Visited the branch in Trinity, Leeds , staff were friendly and kept us updated on progress of our order. We ordered the sweetcorn and guacamole dips to nibble on while we waited for our fish sharing board to be made from fresh. Probably slightly too much food for two, and could have got away with ordering just the one dip. All their wines you can order by glass, carafe or bottle, which is quite nice if want to drink too much i.e. at lunchtime. Food was good, would recommend. Will be going back to sample more of their extensive menu. May even have a cocktail next time too!

We went on a Saturday night, it was extremely busy but the restaurant was fantastic. The service was extremely prompt and incredibly polite and friendly. The food was excellent, the belly pork sharing platter was delicious and I&#039;d highly recommend it.

Really tasty food that came quickly. Nice range on the menu and good drinks.

Pretty slow service and very loud atmosphere. You can&#039;t tell who works there to grab someone&#039;s attention!

Had a lovely meal here. Fun atmosphere, lovely staff and tasty food. Got 6 tapas and a side of rice between 2people and didn&#039;t manage it all. Some was very spicy but the staff got us some sour cream without any hassle. Will def go back.

The food here is awesome! Everything is very chilled and fun, you don&#039;t feel like you are being rushed through. The staff are excellent. The only downside is that they automatically add gratuity (the meal was excellent so didn&#039;t grumble however I don&#039;t like to feel obliged) Would definitely go back :-)

The food was fab, as always. We didn&#039;t have to wait long for it but we weren&#039;t rushed either.

Went here for a casual dinner on a Sunday night and was pleasantly surprised by how great the food was, and also how cheap! Such a great variety of little sharing dishes and all were full of flavour and tasted amazing. Will 100% be coming back here - my new go-to place!

A change from Spanish tapas and the menu is good for pregnant ladies, as I was at the time. Relaxed and informal dining with friendly service. Just beware that you should be able to stand a bit of chilli heat at least if you want to enjoy your meal here.

Excellent food and service. It was tequila day so we tried a few cocktails - very refreshing

Lovely food, very good service, bit noisy at times but a cracking place to spend a Saturday evening.

Food was really nice. Service was fairly quick and the price was very cheap. Would definitely recommend.

Good food but this was overshadowed by the worst customer management I&#039;ve ever experienced. A query over the bill left us out of pocket and the manager was unwilling to resolve. I will never return.

Excellent service, great food, I will be coming back...thank you

Really fresh Mexican street food (definitely mix and match with the street food) and a great cocktail menu. Not your typical Mexican cuisine and offers something a little bit different which is always refreshing.

This is Mexican food the likes of which you may not have encountered before! We had the street food selection w a mix of meat and veggie options that were all delicious. Highlights included mushroom flautas and cheesy jalapeños. The service was good, w a friendly waitress and the atmosphere was relaxed and fun.

The clue being in the review title that amount of tequila consumed was probably the reason why we didn&#039;t complain about the service. Our waitress seemed some what in a daze (spaced out) and hadn&#039;t even realised that we were missing our final tapas dish, so 20 minutes later when I asked again what was the hold up was she looked puzzled like I had just asked her to give us the meal free of charge. I would have appreciated a complimentary drink given that we waited until the final dish came to start so it was luke warm. Aside from the service the drinks and food were great, really well presented and I loved the quirky retro vibe the place had.

We celebrated my fathers emgagement here on Good Friday and we had a fantastic time. The service was exceptional! Thank you to everyone working that night.

I came as part of a 10-person group for mid-week dinner. I&#039;d been told that the place is beautiful and it lived up to the expectation. However, I was seriously disappointed by how loud the music was - it made it hard for us to hear anyone beside those we were right next to. While the music itself was good, I came to eat and talk, not to dance.<br /><br /> The service was very good, and all the staff were very friendly. The food was served amazingly quickly, especially considering most of us had opted for the 6-piece market food sharer. Things did get a little confused when the food arrived and lots of people had forgotten the names of what they had chosen, but unless the waiting staff had little maps of where everyone sat I doubt this could have been helped.<br /><br />Nearly everyone was delighted with the food and drinks. There was one major exception, though. One of my friends went for the barbecued onions, under the belief it would be either onion rings or chopped-up fried onions. What he was served instead were spring onions drizzled in barbecue sauce - not the kind of onions he was expecting! He was annoyed at that, but everything else was amazing so he didn&#039;t consider it worth complaining. I think this sort of confusion could definitely be avoided by mentioning the type of onion on the menu. I can&#039;t imagine he&#039;s the first diner to have made this mistake.<br /><br />Overall a very good experience and I wouldn&#039;t hesitate to go there again - though maybe for lunch, when the music might be quieter.

Attentive service, food good but music far too loud. Couldn&#039;t hear the person next to me so had to leave and have our coffee elsewhere

great food and service. Perfect location for lunchtime frivolity in Leeds leading to an evening out. Sharing boards are delish and good value😊
