Coffee On The Crescent in Leeds - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely little coffee shop out of town and close to Hyde Park. We enjoyed our Americanos which had a lovely liquorice element to the flavour of the bean and our cinnamon whirl pastry was delicious and extremely large :). A nice change to our usual spot in town. Will pop in again if passing.

Nice atmosphere, nice service and amazing coffee. Pastry taste good! I recommend almond croissant and cinnamon bun 😋 ☺️

Once again changing my review on this place but im done now. Certain baristas dont give a damn about the state of the milk when you takeaway .

Terrific coffee shop. I went there as I was in the area for the first time in a few years and saw it had hundreds of fab reviews so I popped in. I had a lovely chat with Tim, the owner too.

Although I had to go into my overdraft to afford the almond croissant, it is simply the BEST and BIGGEST croissant in all of leeds. Love this place

Good coffee, lovely staff, and cute atmosphere

Great coffee ... Bought some beans for home too

Excellent coffee. Gets very busy especially on a Saturday morning after parkrun, but worth the wait!

I startled the staff with my seemingly strange order. “Could I have a Freddo Cappuccino”, I asked. Their response, “it’s not on the board, but we can try to make it for you”. How good is that for customer service? The resultant cold coffee based drink was above and beyond my expectations. What the barista at Coffee on the Crescent has created was indeed new. More an iced-whipped-flat-white than a standard Freddo Cappuccino. It looked sophisticated in a small glass and tasted beautiful. Coffee on The Crescent has so much merchandise to browse. It’s almost bordering on a trinket store. It’s a bright sociable place. A great meet up location for groups post park run or cycle ride. It has that “fit as a butcher’s dog” vibe.

The best almond croissant I have EVER eaten.Enjoyed every bite with a strong black coffee.A little moment of luxury ✨️

A birthday morning walk enjoying the sunshine and a couple of coffee shops but we saved the best to last! The bright windows and positive energy draws you in and the warmth of the staff then hits you. The hot weather meant we opted for our first iced drink from Coffee on the Creasant.....wow! That really hit the spot, the perfect summer drink. No food this time, it looked appealing but birthday cake is waiting at home! Thanks Tim and the rest of the Team.

Yummy just yummy a must place to dine.

Great service , great coffee. Great atmosphere Definitely Recommend

lovely vibes in this place, great coffee!

i love this coffee place. just 9mins walk from my flat. the staff is very welcoming. it’s one of those no laptop cafe. back in last dec-23 i bought a v60 brewer and ns* beans here, after that i visit this place once in a while and keep taking picture of it on every visits just because it is a lovely place to have a cup (or more) of coffee, lol. also, cotc is one of few place where i can order a split shot (though it is a bit more expensive than the split shot in la bottega milanese)

Delicious iced coffee. The toastie wasn't the best, said it had chilli but I couldn't taste any and it was a bit sloppy/ greasy.

Sadly we got divorced a year later but I still love this place. Staff are lovely. coffee is great. Almond croissants are insane.

This is the best cafe in Leeds. The coffee tastes great, even the milk in the late is better than most cafes and tastes creamy. Dessets are also excellent, and not too sweet. Only downside is that it’s small for the demand on weekends, but that’s the price of success I guess.

Best coffee shop in Leeds. Best staff in Leeds.

I only had a cup of tea but you could tell how much the owner cared for the shop, I loved the atmosphere and the barista behind the counter was very kind and fast. I would definitely make this my go to

New cafe in Hyde Park. Fronts right on to the A660 and has outside seating. They have a limited range of (very good) cakes. The coffee is very good and the food I tried was great. I'd recommend a visit. Update September 2022 - still a popular place, lots of choice. Licensed as well. Recommended. Update October 2023 - busy little cafe right on the road at Hyde Park junction. Outside seating in the grassed area next door. Very good coffees. Plenty of choice for food, hot and cold. Updated March 2024 - good coffee, nice cakes and pastries. Full agreement with the ban on laptops - too many cafes are hogged by the laptop girls...

Best flat white I’ve had in ages, better than my regular London ones. Friendly, relaxed and unpretentious. The pancakes and croissants were delicious too. So impressed!

Stopped for a coffee and croissant on the weekend. The almond croissant was divine, and I loved the range of hot drinks feeding my passion for unusual coloured beverages! The service was friendly and beautiful latte art perfect for that insta story, but both hot drinks turned out to not be hot enough for either of us :(

Delicious coffee, really nice and friendly coffee shop. Always fairly busy but team always friendly and nice. Love the way the team/Tim are always active in the local community too, very wholesome.

Loved the coffee and pasteis de belem / pastiche de nata. Good atmosphere but gets full / busy.

The aesthetics are lovely. Ordered a sausage roll that they sadly didn’t have the ingredients for so i had to resort to another one, but it was very good, and the service was excellent.

Its my favourite coffee shop to go to in Leeds. I absolutely love the coffee, I love their vegan sausage rolls, which are very tasty and nourishing, and the sandwiches and brownies are also amazing!!! The staff are all very lovely and it has such a nice atmosphere. Highly recommend

A very good coffee shop 😋 The coffee was delicious and the meals where outstanding the best milk ever out into these gorgeous 😍 drinks and foods

Fantastic little independent coffee shop and cafe, super friendly staff & a great range of teas!! Highly recommended

Love this cafe! I’ve visited several times now and the coffee is so good. The staff are absolutely lovely- I called in today after a solo bike ride with my bike and offered to drink my coffee outside to not take up space but they found me a spot to put my bike and warm up while drinking my coffee inside. It was much appreciated as I was FREEZING. Thank you very much :)

Great coffee, pastries and toasties. Friendly staff. Reasonable value for money. Nice atmosphere.

Amazing staff /coffee and pastries 😍

The best coffee shop in Hyde park. Such a lovely atmosphere inside, brilliant coffee and super friendly staff. The owner has a fantastic golf swing as well.

A really good menu. The staff are always friendly. The coffee and pastries are great

It's lovely inside with a great view but unfortunately we were there as colleagues to discuss work over coffee and weren't allowed to use our laptops. If you're there for social and not looking to open your laptop then it'd be lovely

By far the best coffee in leeds and Harrogate

Nice coffee and the staff are really friendly. Great selection of sandwiches. Highly recommended.

Fantastic place ,staff and owner are very friendly

£5 for the most poorly made mozzarella/tomato/pesto sandwich I've ever seen in my life. Barely any tomato, the bread was soggy on one end, flavour was average at best. Much better off going to any of the other student-orientated sandwich shops around where you'll get better a quality sandwich for at least a pound cheaper

great coffee and sausage rolls. a little pricey but it is good quality so worth it

A pleasant little tea/coffee cafe serving cakes, toasties, savouries. The coffee was on the small side and not very hot. Toasted sourdough sarnies were pleasant but fillings were not very generous. The avocado on toast was just one slice of sourdough so again not very generous. Costly for the portion sizes. Would return but for tea and cake only.

Not a big café, but well located and clearly popular with passers by. We chose a breakfast tea and cappuccino coffee and both were nicely present and tasted fine. The prices were average and as seen in other establishments. Worthy of a visit.

A really mean spirited owner, was sat inside and saw him berate a university student who had asked him to answer a few short questions for a project

Fabulous independent coffee shop, great for lunch or pick up take away sandwiches, pastries and cakes. Vegan options available. Lots of nice pictures, plants and cards for sale too. A real asset to the local area.

This cafe is close to Hyde Park Corner, and faces the park. The airy interior gets plenty of light, but can be a little cold in the winter months (both in the morning, and afternoon). They do provide some blankets I understand. As well as drinks, they sell a range of cakes and pastries, including some vegan options. They are rather pricey, but probably no more than other similar cafes. Payment is by card only unfortunately. I have probably been here no more than a dozen times, in total. Sadly, I have mostly regretted coming here, as opposed to one of the other nearby cafes. Tim, the owner, kindly responded to my previous review, so I wanted to give them another chance, but I'm afraid I haven't been anymore impressed. I had a nice vegan sausage roll here once, but have found the vegan cakes too sweet. I never feel very comfortable sitting here, it can be cold, and the music choices often remind me of elevator music. Service is generally friendly, but perfunctory. Holding staff meetings in the cafe is undoubtedly a bad idea. The toilets are difficult to access, to the extent I avoid going. Tim says that his next cafe will have disabled toilets. On my last visit, I didn't find the service very good. I purchased a small glass of rather pale, heavily iced, orange juice, which cost £3.50, and a hastily-made Latte, which was £3.20, and came lukewarm. I generally take my coffee black, and have not previously had a problem. I shall look out for CotC2, and wish them well, but I'm afraid this is it for me. I only visit every couple of months, so I dare say they can manage fine without my custom.

A nice cafe with good coffee, atmosphere and service, but couldn't help but feel underwhelmed by the portion sizes given the price. For £7.95 you only get one slice of toast with some hummus, cucumber, olives and pepper. If these portion sizes were increased, the asking price would be more justified.

Great orange juice, croissant was tasty but a little overpriced, great selection of baked goods though!!

My favorite coffee shop to frequent. The food is TO DIE FOR, and the coffee is incredible. The service is top tier and as for the industrial chic atmosphere it's perfect.

We’ve been going here for years and it’s a firm favourite in the Leeds area. Tim and his team are wonderful. The coffee is excellent with a great good and cake selection.

Good coffee. Comfortable surroundings. Very friendly team. Interesting displays. Recommended!

Great coffee, loads of vegan goodies too

Ordered a coffee which was really tasty however it was noticeably under filled in the cup, not that I expect it to be filled to the brim but there was a big gap missing - I ordered it for take away and when I took the lid off to put sugar in I saw. My partner also ordered an iced matcha which unfortunately wasn’t mixed properly, with clumps of matcha powder in it. Besides that the service was slightly disappointing. The person who took our order barely spoke two words to us, seemed slightly annoyed and exchanged none of the polite pleasantries. Why would you not say anything after someone has wished you a good day? Maybe this was just our experience on the off chance as it seems you have plenty of good reviews but still disappointing.

It is such a lovely place to enjoy a cup

Is this matcha? Unfortunately yes lol. 97% milk 3% matcha powder if u can’t do matcha don’t sell it try to open YouTube tutorials on how to whisk the matcha properly or don’t sell it . This’s a crime

I really like this place, Almond Croissant was really delicious.

I do love this place, vibes are great and staff are lovely. Good for a Pastry or snack (lots of amazing vegan options), but TINY portions (£7 for my avo on toast for one tiny slice). Coffee was yummy but could have been hotter. Very spenny for what you get… think prices should be lowered to make more student friendly 🙂

Fantastic little coffe shop, good selection of coffee and pastries. Dog friendly too, well worth dropping in if you're visiting Hyde Park

Lovely toasted sourdough sandwiches with fabulous cakes and pastries. Quick service despite being busy. A little oasis of calm.

Great coffee, great food, great people!

One of the best cafés in Leeds. Great coffee and pleasant staff, though not much seating inside.

Amazing coffee and pastries, a favourite choice for a weekend treat. The cafe always has lovely art and plants on display and the coffee is some of the best I’ve had in Leeds. My favourite independent coffee shop because of how much they are invested in the local area too.

Amazing little coffee shop, the food is great with lots of vegan options! And the staff are always lovely.

This was lacklustre when I visited. I've heard lots of great reviews about here so I'm hoping my experience was just a blip. But the pastries/cakes were generally dry and stale so perhaps from the days previous. The coffee machine wasn't working so had a filter coffee, which obviously isn't going to be as good. Hopefully I'll visit another day and be able to say the experience was better, but for the price sadly only this occasion I can't.

Fantastic Coffee Shop, Who doesn’t love great coffee and plants! Those Crumble bars are something special also! My go to whenever in the area.

Love this gaf. Just what Hyde Park needed! And the team seem like a genuine family - wholesome vibes, juicy brews, and bakes to make your heart flutter. Enjoy 🥐 ☕

Lovely staff and atmosphere, shame you can’t study or use a laptop inside. Very weird

Lovely coffee shop. We kept getting more and more as it was so good and we were so disorganized! Particularly liked the cortados and lemon and almond cake.

Wonderful independent coffee shop and hub of the the community. Great tea, coffee & hot chocolate. Fab vegan options. Lovely, happy people.

Wonderful friendly coffee shop with a well deserved 5* hygiene rating. My favourite place for a coffee when in Leeds. Love the chai lattes and custard tarts

We love this shop! Our first visit with our puppy and we hoped she would enjoy it as much as we do. We needn't have worried, she was treated like a princess! What a welcome. We timed it well, just before the Easter close down and found seats at the back after a warm greeting from the staff. Everyone was very busy ahead of their holidays but this didn't impact on the brilliant service. We spent some time looking at the new art and plants before choosing sweet treats and drinks. There wasn't enough batch brew left unfortunately but I was kindly given what was left just so I could try it. Drinks and cakes all gone and puppy enjoyed her biscuit so we all ventured back into Hyde Park to enjoy the sunshine.

I honestly go to CotC at least twice a week, so I'm appalled at myself for not having reviewed these absolute babes that never fail to cheer me up with a coffee, cake, sandwich, great chat and dog treats. Hyde Park wouldn't be what it is without this little coffee shop, which - by the way - feeds weekly hordes or parkrunners, and has also funded charity events; renovated an entire green space; taken part in regular litter picks and catered for so many events for local groups. Thanks to a fabulous bunch for building our community into what it is. ❤️

One of the best coffee shops In Leeds! Lovely interior and overall good vibes. Great selection of drinks, cakes and pastries - vegan options as well! Staff are so friendly and you can tell they work incredibly hard ☺️

Great place for coffee , super nice decaff also. Miam miam, the almond croissants, was very nice.

Kicked me out because I had my laptop... I would've been a regular here and it really sucked because I had an urgent deadline to complete that would've taken me about 20 minutes. Not cool.

Cat served me today and she was so so lovely! An absolutely 10/10 member of staff, so kind and helpful!

Love this place, always come here. Staff are always so friendly, vibes are immaculate and my coffee always tastes amazing. Pastries are yummy too

Tim and his lovely team are clearly passionate, caring and dedicated to what they do - it emanates throughout Coffee On The Crescent and that translates to a really positive and welcoming space with a fantastic range of bakes that compliment the obviously great coffee always on offer!

Fantastic energy-boosting station for park runners 🏃‍♂️ like myself.

A little gem. Very popular, and rightly so. Tasty produce, if a little pricy.

I came here for a coffee with my dog as I wanted to socialise her in the city. She was very much welcome here, coffee was lovely and there was even a vegan cake option. Doesn’t have parking but there is parking nearby at Hyde Park. I would highly recommend to visit in Leeds.

Really good coffee and customer service. I had a problem with my coffee once and they immediately sorted it out. I just found the pastries a bit overpriced.

This little gem is a beauty! Owned by Timothy Linley is a former English cricketer, it’s a place that restores your faith in humanity because of everything they do and stand for. Community. Connections. Compassion. It supplies a fantastic variety of coffees, teas and drinks. It also sells plants and art work. The staff are genuinely happy to see you. Knowledgeable, efficient and helpful. Every purchase is delivered with pride. However, don’t be surprised you have to queue to get in. People travel from all over. It’s especially busy on Saturday mornings when it is packed full of parkrun people. The staff just take it all in their stride.

Very nice and lovely place. Strongly Recommend it

It’s was my best coffee ever at leeds

I guess everything is allowed except laptops, you can sit and chat for hours but not allowed to use your laptop 🫤 … coffee tastes good though

My favourite café, it is one of the handful best coffee shop in Leeds. It serves high quality coffee reeal coffee 👌🏼which is made by professional barista. The best flat white you can have in Leeds. I advised everyone want to enjoy a real cup of coffee to try this café. Also, the pastries are delicious the croissant is the best one I have ever tried in Leeds. Highly recommended 🔥.

Situated close to Hyde Park Corner, facing the park, this small cafe serves coffee and a variety of cakes and pastries. There are usually one or two vegan options. I haven't found the vegan cakes great, but I have had nice vegan sausage rolls here. Coffee is quite good. Somewhat pricey, and no cash taken. Friendly service, but no disabled toilets, and they are for the fit and agile. There didn't seem to be any heating on when I was last there, so not particularly comfortable.

Good coffee. Nice servers. Bit pricey

Excellent coffee and not forgetting the Terrys brownie I would have given this coffee place for out of 5 simply that it can get busy, especially after park run. I know it can’t be helped and can somewhat feel a little narrow when walking in., but it would be nice if it was a little bit bigger but it always feels friendly whenever I come in after a run to enjoy the breakfast. The coffee is always lovely and I have to mention the teres brownie again as that’s the first time I’ve had it today and it was just out of this world so just had to give you 5 out of 5.

Coffee is amazing! And dog-friendly too.

Amazing coffee and not far from my university either which makes it convenient

Our post-parkrun cafe. Brilliant team serving great coffee, sandwiches and pastries. Beautiful outdoor space in good weather too.

It's a cafe. It wants to be more but didn't raise the level. It's absolutely OK if you want a cafe.

Delicious coffe and chai tea latte. Very friendly staff.

For a sweet 10-minute walk from the University, the iconic coffee shop ⭐️Coffee on the Crescent⭐️ is right in front of you. No matter what you’re looking for, the lovely spot has it all ready for you! 🏡 *that’s what I call home* All pastries, savouries, and sweet treats are freshly prepared every day to give customers the best experience during their stay 🥐🥪 I’d suggest visiting the shop during weekday mornings to best capture the shop essence and cozy atmosphere ☀️ For a light meal (pastry/sandwich + coffee) that costs between £6-9, I would say the shop has been able to offer a really great deal 💰 The coffee tastes perfect, no matter it’s served hot or iced 🧊 There’s also an extensive range of meat, vegetarian, and vegan food options available - cinnamon buns, sausage roll, hummus sandwich, and more! If you’re craving for some icy, remember to try their ice-cream as well 🍦 Given that most products are prepared fresh on the spot, I think there’s anything more you could ask for 🤤 p.s. the shop supports local artists around the community!! go and check out all the lovely prints, cards, and books on display when you’re around 🎨

Staff is amazing and the ambiance too

Really good coffee, probably the best coffee in Leeds, nice relaxed atmosphere and super cool artwork. They're also really community spirited, which is lovely, especially in Hyde Park 😀

A fantastic local coffee shop. Lovely coffee lovely pastries. Well worth a visit for eat in or take out.

So bad.. the burnt coffee, the 1 day old croissants (was at 9 so no reason for that to happen) and the guy that makes the coffee needs to smile more...
