Coffee On The Crescent in Leeds

Best coffee shop in Leeds, always friendly, amazing coffee and really good food

Very nice place with amazing filter coffee. These guys love their coffee, you can tell. Pastries are also good quality. Highly recommend!

Awesome coffee! We've been away from home Melbourne coffee culture for 3 weeks and this is by far the best coffee we've had in that time 🙂

Love it here but note that there's no WiFi

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 .

The bread is fishy Kagong is not allowed. Wafa no way No syrup taste Just the atmosphere is good

quiet coffee and cake in a busy intimate setting. good ambience and friendly staff

I absolutely love the oat milk latte at this coffee shop! However, there is still room for improvement in their sandwiches.

Best flat white I’ve had in a long time- what a gem. Brownies are excellent, staff super friendly and knowledgeable and it’s a cosy oasis. Jealous of anyone who’s got coffee on the crescent as their local!

Nice place to get a coffee! Chill interior, good brownies

Great food and drink every Saturday after parkrun 😁. The atmosphere is great and the staff are lovely. I like the new kronuts too, lemon mirangue was my favourite one😁

Una cafetería / cafetería en Leeds con un buen ambiente cálido y buen café. La rubia de chocolate blanco que tenía era agradable también. Los precios son razonables con un café y rubia que cuesta £ 6. 50

Best coffee shop in Leeds. Best staff in Leeds. Awesome.

Really good coffee, lovely decor, and really friendly. Excellent place for a coffee and food.

Great independent coffee shop, support!

Busy, good coffee, poor vegan food options

Really enjoyable from beginning to the end. Service was perfect - they entertained my request of a power shot into an OJ (which was fabulous) and served me incredibly quickly considering how busy it was. Latte was great - I could have had it twice over quite easily, and the blondie was divine and so rich I could hardly finish it. Really enjoyable Thankyou ☺️

Met up with our friends here today. Lovely smile friendly staff. Lots of tables a great place. Only downside was no gluten free options.

It's a cute little cafe on the corner. We went during a busy period and managed a seat at the back. Atmosphere is alright, very cosy as it's a small place. The cakes were amazing, one of the best almond croissants I've had. The service was good, brought to the table. However the coffee was like warm and not that great but the coffee art was good. Maybe they were just a bit rushed to get coffees out when we were there.

Coffee and the almond croissant was delicious

A cafe / coffee shop in Leeds with a nice warm vibe and good coffee. The White Chocolate Blondie I had was nice too. Prices are reasonable with a coffee and Blondie costing £6.50

Great selection of coffees and pastries. Everything was tasty and sits across Hyde park which was convenient! We are out of towners and would definitely return for breakfast here again! Staff were great and the whole vibe inside was too!

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 😋 ☺️

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 ✨️

Un paseo por la mañana de cumpleaños disfrutando del sol y un par de cafeterías, pero guardamos lo mejor para durar! Las ventanas brillantes y la energía positiva te atrae y la calidez del personal te golpea. El clima cálido significa que optamos por nuestra primera bebida helada de Coffee on the Creasant. Eso realmente golpeó el punto, la bebida de verano perfecta. No hay comida esta vez, se veía atractivo, pero pastel de cumpleaños está esperando en casa! Gracias Tim y el resto del equipo.

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.

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 :(

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

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.

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.

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. ❤️

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.

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

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.
