Garden Room Cafe Restaurant in Leeds

Possibly swayed by the temperature outside, but it was lovely and quiet inside, good service, pretty swift service, and fantastic (and well presented) food!

Great food and a lovely atmosphere, we come here all the time and it never disappoints. The staff take care of you, whether it’s for a sit down and a meal or just to pick up a coffee to take round the park (plus a sausage for the dog)

Superb coffee, delicious food - well presented, friendly and polite staff. Will come again! ☺️

Wonderful service and delicious food; always a lovely place to stop in after a walk around Roundhay Park!

Just had breakfast at £14.95 was lukewarm and sparse one egg half of a small tomato one mushroom sausage undercooked one ash brown two bacon and soggy white toast not worth the money, husband had scrambled egg on toast had tea which came in a small teapot and that was for two, entrance doors needed a good clean, and tables needed wiping down it was grubby, think it has been taken over has it used to be lovley also at the prices there charging should be table service

We had a wonderful afternoon at The Mansion. We enjoyed a beautifully prepared and presented afternoon tea. We had booked it as a 70th celebration for my mum who was absolutely thrilled. The team were so attentive and made us feel very special. We will defiantly go back again it’s a winning combination of a lovely building, in a pretty location, easy parking, great food and particularly lovely staff!!!

Wonderful service , amazing atmosphere

Great atmosphere; so friendly staff. Coffee was ok but too bitter for my liking g but would return happily. Toilets spotless.

Tasty food, friendly staff, good menu, lovely location.

Just wanted to say a big thankyou to the staffof the garden room for their excellent service always delivered with a friendly and welcoming smile excellent selection of drinks and food and wonderful views of Roundhay park

What a great place! Atmosphere 10/10 staff 10/10 and coffees 10/10. Would highly recommend the garden blend smoothie. Big shout out to the manager Tilly who was so kind and helpful and Mollie for making me feel so welcome.

Perfect place for a coffee. Dogs love it too!

I had an amazing time at the garden rooms! I went with some friends and their dogs and the cafe was so friendly and welcoming to them. It’s the perfect place to start your morning walk at Leeds park 💕💕

Just want to leave a lovely note on here, so people know where to come for wonderful service and amazing staff who always go out of there way to provide excellent food drinks and above all friendly service. They go above and beyond and even when queues out of the door they still spend time with you and ask how you are and how your doing. Would definitely recommend a visit you won’t be disappointed and will definitely return time and time again and bring your family and friends.😄

Me and my mum went for afternoon tea to celebrate me getting married. We were made to feel welcome and service was 10/10. Highly recommend! The food and drinks were fabulous and loads of little surprises in the presentation of the afternoon tea.

The restaurant only allows dogs outside but staff helpful friendly band food always constant. They offer small or large portions of and the dogs puppachinos. Right on the park

An absolute gem in the middle of a fabulous park! I’ve been coming here most mornings for years. The coffee is good, the staff are personable, the sweet treats are tasty and to top it all I get to enjoy a view of our beloved Roundhay Park every morning!

The staff are fantastic , very polite and very helpful Tilly , the manager has made a massive , positive difference to the cafe , I love visiting and the food is excellent as is the coffee ! There is no where better to sit than on the terrace Watching the world go by when it’s a lovely day . The food , particularly the specials are lovely , freshly made with quality ingredients. Definitely worth a visit !.

Charming decor . Beautiful surroundings Food mediocre. Cakes underwhelming. Shame, has so much potential to be outstanding. Coffee is the best .

Nice enough place with lovely views of the park but it's really resting on its laurels and location. Food is limited standard fare and £4 for a not very good oat milk coffee!? Really? It's cheaper and vastly superior in central London.... (as well as nearby)

Todays staff were smart, courteous, friendly , welcoming , attentive to food intolerances. Quick to serve with a smile and checking if anything else was required. First class in our opinion.

Came for a walk around Roundhay Park though started here at the Garden Room Cafe. Had the Coronation Flatbread and Masala Chips from the specials menu - well and truly satisfied the food was fantastic and the staff were so friendly and polite. If I got back in the car now and went home I feel I’d be satisfied for the rest of the day !! 5*

Just popped in for the first time today and was blown away by the outstanding customer service of the very friendly, attentive staff. Thank you, it was lovely! We will definitely be back. Fab hot chocolates, ice cream and pastries.

Staff need a medal for dealing with the general public. I sat at table 10, near the door, where people come in and stand over you and your food. It was very busy and noisy. Waiting staff bumped into my chair a few times. The food was lovely and the tea very good. On a quiet day it would have been a much better experience.

Called in on Sunday morning for a drink and a snack. The location is great and the interior is pleasant but beyond that it was very disappointing. The tea was Yorkshire so was ok, but the (very expensive) hot chocolate was the instant "just add water" type with cheap squirty cream on top. It was so bad my husband didn't drink it. The sausages in my sandwich were cheap and nasty, and again, didn't finish it. The staff were pleasant enough. How this place gets "excellent" ratings on TripAdvisor I don't know. I wouldn't return.

This is a favourite place of ours and we are never disappointed. We came here recently for a family lunch and were well looked after by the staff. The food was excellent and the place was clean and tidy and the food great, in particular the sweet potato wrap and falafel wrap. The only downside is that it’s one of the few restaurants in the area that still doesn’t allow dogs inside despite it being in the middle of a park full of dog walkers. They still come because they like it, but have to sit outside in all weather (some kind of protection from the weather would go down well)

Quick cafe shop, Great brownies and coffee.

Food was delicious, good service too. Some great views from the terrace. Would go again

The cafe is a great place to eat and drink. Our food and drinks were served to us with a lovely and friendly smile and made us feel very welcome. Great views of the park from the cafe terrace and good for dog walkers and children.

Been to The Mansion today for Brunch, a very enjoyable experience. The service was great, as usual. Tilley, Jonah and Chloe are professional and very friendly I recommend The Mansion.

A bit of an olde world atmosphere. Some great pics on the wall. Can also eat/drink outside in good weather.

Had coffee and cake, which was very nice. Service was good,👍the place was busy. Well worth a visit and you have the park on the doorstep. Excellent 😃

Just called for a coffee after a walk around the park, good value served hot and excellent surroundings.

Beautiful surroundings. One of the best cafés.

Great service, lovely food. All day breakfast available - scrambled eggs awesome. By far the best cafe at roundhay park!

I took an elderly friend for a spot of posh lunch but was disappointed. Really gone downhill. Only self service, no waiting service anymore and prices were still high. Had to get our own menus and find our own table. Sandwich was in a bag on a plate even though we ordered from the menu....not happy. It used to be a special treat but not anymore.

Food is great Prices not too bad considering the location. Staff are brilliant. Lovely location

I took a party of 20 people,the staff were absolutely amazing. Very patient and understanding. Everyone said the food was amazing and they will visit again.

Gọn trong không gian nhiều cây xanh và bãi cỏ xanh. Nghỉ dưỡng tuyệt vời.

Lovely staff and a lovely latte at a reasonable price,was lovely to sit outside looking at the gardens

Called in for lunch, not been for a while and see that it changed hands a couple of years ago, the change is not for the better, gone is the waiter/customer service that we had previously enjoyed the apparently all male staff were too busy to engage with the customer, a little like a works canteen. THEN THE TILL COMPUTER SYSTEM BROKE! My suggestion that they use a PEN AND PAPER TO WRITE down orders and take CASH using the tip jar money as a float was greeted with a blank stare and then a refusal of the idea on the grounds that it could not be done as everything has to be recorded, I pointed out that they could make late entries once the system re-booted but this was too far fetched for them to contemplate. We left and enjoyed a meal overlooking the lake at the other eatery in the park. We returned later in the afternoon only to find that the cafe had been closed, It was a Saturday and a warm day, I wondered what the boss thought about losing all those customers they could have served if they had used a little common sense. I hope that they will have a back-up strategy in place for the next time the all important computer system fails.

Cute cafe with amazing view of Roundhay park. Fast service, good fair prices and really tasty food. Brunch and breakfast options which is always is bonus. Dogs are allowed on the terrace. Plenty of seating inside.

I was there, and the place is stunning, is very nice, and the service is nice is well

The Garden Room is situated within the mansion in Roundhay Park, so it's quite some setting. It was a lovely sunny day when we visited, so we sat outside. Our cake and drinks were great and the service was excellent. Definitely worth a visit!

Went for a coffee whilst out at Roundhay Park. The coffee was delicious and it was a really peaceful atmosphere sat outside. They had a good range of ice creams with vegan options but sadly the milkshake machine wasn't working that day. There was a good range of cakes but didn't see anything gluten free. Had oat milk available

Pleasant, friendly and helpful staff serving tasty food. What more is needed?

(Some) of the staff at the garden room are fantastic in spite of poor management. Always very friendly and accommodating so I am appalled to learn that the people who make my regular trips to the garden room worthwhile are treated so badly! Several of the best members of staff have been forced out by the (always) rude management. I will find some where else to take my daily coffee. Disgraceful.

We had such a wonderful experience. Oli (Oliver) was so accommodating from the moment he took my call until we left. He made sure everyone of us was satisfied and that was no easy task as we were a very large group. Food was delicious as always accompanied by good coffee and a selection of teas. Make sure to give their eggs royale a taste, definitely a popular choice here. Thank you very much to Oliver and the team!!!

Excellent service and food. Went with friends and family to celebrate Eid and had a truly wonderful time. We were worried that we’d overwhelm them as we were a group of over 20 but the staff handled it effortlessly.

The management & the team did a fantastic job hosting 30+ of us for breakfast/brunch. Everything was on point. Thank you

I love the coffee and ambience there. Red velvet cake was vegan and great in taste. However, not many options for egg free and vegan.

absolutely wonderful staff and service - really friendly accommodating, professional (plus super coffees and teacakes) - only thing missing is a bit of fruit if you would consider adding that to the range on offer. thanks to the team - absolutely brilliant !

A lovely cafe in the Mansion House with beautiful views of the park. Great cakes and coffee and with some outside seating and a lovely art gallery next to it, a pleasure to visit and enjoy.

Great place to visit whilst in the park. Not too noisy. Good scones

I like to come here with my Mum, who has dementia and loves this café. We've always had really good service here, which is why Mum likes it so much. This makes it a relaxing visit for us both.

Me, the wife and the kids found ourselves at the garden room on a bleak midwinter morning and the lovely staff really made the day seem just a little bit warmer. Anna and George really now how to make people feel welcome. Anna gave my...

This is a very pleasant, well staffed and appealing café set in the rolling acres of Roundhay Park, Leeds. You can sit outside or indoors, there's plenty of space, the cakes look great and the coffee is good!

We were refused service for just 2 coffees despite it being within advertised opening hours, by a very unfriendly server who gave her rather whiny reason that they were closing early because they'd been so busy. That's a surprise in itself. She really did have the affect of a person who'd been working down the pit. Righto . I've been here twice recently, the last time wasn't great either and the place was filthy, frankly. Suggest Rand round the corner on Street Lane where staff are polite and welcoming, the coffee is better, the place is clean too.

Young waitress at the till on 24th October 2022, around 3 pm served me with absolute no expression. I ignored her till I saw her converse happily with the following customers. I was not welcome here, that was obvious. I had my 6 year old with me. Not acceptable.

A bit pricey , but nice for a chill sit down and a drink

The Garden Room is very well run it opens at 9 am unlke its neighbour The Lakeside Cafe which opens at 10 am the chairs and sofas are far more comfortable, the staff are friendlier, the food is cheaper and much tastier, I would recommend it highly a waiter called George served me, he was charming and helpful he has all the qualities to become a Manager kind regards Chris

Lovely scenary being located in Roundhey park. A great spot for a nice cuppa and cake with the love ones ☕🍰

We called in for a mid morning hot snack and drinks. Ordered the Roundhay Bap, sausage, bacon, egg, tomato and mushroom in a toasted bap, and two cappuccinos. The coffees were served hot, whilst the meal was being prepared and cooked. The bap was served...

I find this place frustrating. I come once or twice a week as the location is fantastic. I just find the staff so badly trained. Often the tables outside are bursting with dirty cups etc. but when staff come outside to serve they ignore the mess and just go back inside with empty trays. Oblivious to the mess. Why?

I go here regularly after walking in beautiful Roundhay Park around the Upper Lake. I have had excellent service for years. I even held my 70th birthday celebration there, with Afternoon Tea for 25 friends, including children. Good selection of food and drinks and they have updated things because of Covid so you can sit outside and order at the window, from the table with a QR code, or have a table indoors, carefully placed to respect distancing. Highly Recommended!

Sunday morning - 1115 ish / Called in for coffee and hot chocolate- the girl on the till said it would be 5 mins. No problem not in a rush, but 15 mins later still no drinks after asking twice! The table next to us got their food - order was wrong - they were eating but had come in 5 mins after us. Why did they not check the order first time I asked instead of just saying it will be soon. Finally one of the servers looked for my order - couldn’t find it . Eventually asked for a refund. What a shambles - non of original staff - come back James! Just saying all through the last 2 years they’ve managed and before that service was excellent. What’s happening?

Nice atmosphere, good selection of drinks, quick bar service, friendly and informative. Lots of outside seating too.

Omar and the rest of the team really went the extra mile to make lunch with my mum amazing - even taking beautiful photos for us! The falafel wrap was exceptional. I definitely recommend this cafe / restaurant in Leeds.

Very friendly staff. We only had coffee, this was good. Lovely pleasant atmosphere over looking the park.

Food options not shown for children I had to ask. Only got a child’s cheese sandwich and nothing else on the plate, no salad, crudités or crisps with it. My daughter wanted a child’s fish and chips but they would not do a child’s portion. Panini not that warm and a tiny bit of side salad Did not feel it was value for money and a bit lacking. It’s a shame as it used to be so good

Excellent service, lovely staff, great coffee and food in a stunning setting! Really, what’s not to like. The go to restaurant/cafe in Roundhay and beyond.

We arrived for afternoon tea for Mother’s Day where we were shown to a massive staircase as we were with our 94 year old mother , a baby and a five year old this was an impossible feat to climb After asking about a lift...

Lovely place for a Sunday brunch!

What was supposed to be a lovely meal experience was a disappointment. The staff were very rude In helpful and at times not even present. They did not cater for families with children, struggled to get through the door with a pram, we unlocked it...

I can see why the previous reviews are so poor. I visited here with my family this afternoon after booking for Saturday Brunch. I never leave reviews but I am so appalled at the service. On arrival we were struggling to open the doors as...

Good service and excellent location

Visited with 3 friends for light lunch after walking. Ordered soup which was on menu. The manager came to the table after we had waited some time and said there was no soup available and it shouldn’t have been on the menu.He was polite and...

Manger was extremely rude . Would not give any ingredient information on the cakes . Ended up not being able to eat. Senior management were not sympathetic to the problem.

Beautiful location but sadly not very good service . It was busy and the manger was rude. They are not interested in big parties regular booking or keeping customers happy.

The staff are amazing and have excellent customer service skills and willing to go that extra mile to make you feel comfortable and welcome

This cafe has really not got back to anywhere near its previous standard. Stll no hot food.. Cold sandiches and cakes. The choice was poor too. Its not a restaurant. Its hard to understand why hoty choices are still not available.

Came here as a treat for my dad's birthday. Such a great place to eat, the staff are lovely and very attentive, even though it was busy we weren't waiting long for food and drinks to arrive. We ordered through the app which was the...

Went for Afternoon Tea. The team were really helpful and attentive. The food was of a high quality and tasted amazing! Would definitely recommend!

Lovely and very good staff. The food was Excellent.

I've had some bad sandwiches in my time, but the one I had here recently was by far the worst sandwich I have ever had. It was so awful I took one bite and threw the rest away in the bin. Your chefs really need to think before making them, especially since you charge very very very top end prices for them. An overload of pickle was an understatement.........................

Visited the garden Room last week - only open for outdoors as per current regulations but it was a lovely day and we had a pleasant afternoon sitting in their outdoor area looking over the park. Staff were politely adhering to social distancing regs, and cooed very well with the non-stop customer traffic! Cakes and coffee were delicious, and the savoury selection looked tasty. Planning a return visit...

I have been coming to the park regularly during pregnancy and maternity and enjoy a lo day coffee from the cafe. During covid they have set up a great takeaway system, following all guidelines whilst amazingly being super quick and efficient. Even when queues are...

Came a second time to try thier ledendery Brookie. But they didn't have it. Seeing our disappointment the staff made up a special toasted marshmallow brownie with cookie dough ice-cream which was delicious. Thier chip's are great to. We will definitely be back to visit next time we are in Leeds. Thanks again guys for making our Day. Xx

I never leave reviews but I can’t get over how rude the staff were here, especially the woman. During such awful depressing times in lockdown you’d think she’d smile or speak politely to customers. Was shocked at the way I was spoken to on what should have been a lovely trip to the park. Better off going to the Lakeside cafe or Starbucks. Better prices and better coffee and much nicer staff!!

Coffees delicious small menu but only outside eating. Cant wait for it to get open properly. Sounded really good will try food next time.

Absolutely awful experience. Extortionate prices, food was mediocre at best, staff were incredibly unhelpful. Limited menu, which is fair given current circumstances, however when we asked what was available he simply said 'what you can see and those hot specials'. Description of food was less than helpful, such as 'loaded chips'... And the man refused to help explain. Avoid

Reservé el té de la tarde de celebración para el cumpleaños número 80 de mi madre, una de las pocas formas en que todavía podemos celebrar una ocasión familiar a medida que el cierre se prolonga, y quedamos encantados con la comida y el servicio.Los tres muchachos que sirven hoy fueron encantadores y la calidad del servicio fue maravillosa. A pesar de las medidas de seguridad de Covid, todavía se sentía especial y mi madre fue tratada como una VIP. Nada era demasiado problema. A pesar de que el restaurante estaba lleno, especialmente con clientes para llevar, tuvimos todo lo que pedimos en unos momentos.La comida es asombrosa. El té de la tarde incluye una fabulosa selección de sándwiches y salados, presentados de manera hermosa y con un sabor maravilloso. Los pasteles son hermosos, especialmente los macarons. El Prosecco se sintió como un verdadero placer y las bebidas calientes eran geniales.Mi madre estaba encantada con la vela de cumpleaños y se negó a apagarla para que se sintiera como su cumpleaños el mayor tiempo posible.Desde la reserva hasta el momento en que nos fuimos, esto fue mejor de lo esperado en todos los aspectos. Muchas gracias por un regalo encantador, ya estamos planeando nuestra próxima visita.

Lovely venue, good food. Very nice and polite staff

Went for lunch with my husband and son. Been loads of times in past but this was first time back since COVID. Very well organised. Excellent service. Lovely food. Attentive helpful staff. Will be back for sure.

Recientemente me aventuré a la habitación Garden para tomar un café rápido.El café era hermoso. Me impresionó mucho que, incluso con leche de avena, el personal pudiera crear arte latte.El supervisor (stefan) a cargo fue atento y amable y me sentí muy bienvenido en el momento en que entré.El servicio fue profesional. en general muy feliz y espero con ansias mi próximo viaje a Roundhay

Fui a caminar por Roundhay Park con mi pareja para disfrutar del clima. De manera molesta, tuve que ir al baño rápidamente durante nuestra visita. Desafortunadamente, los baños públicos estaban cerrados, así que tuve que buscar una alternativa y me encontré con este café, así que pensamos que podríamos ir aquí. Mi pareja consiguió una mesa y yo fui a usar el baño antes de decidir qué nos gustaría.Parece que la suerte una vez más no estuvo de mi lado, ya que cuando le pregunté cortésmente a la señora del mostrador si había un baño disponible, me dijeron agresiva y condescendiente que “LOS INODOROS SON PARA CLIENTES, CLIENTES PAGADORES”. Nunca quiero dar mi dinero a un lugar que recibe a sus clientes potenciales de tal manera que me alejé rápidamente y le dije a mi socio que no se molestara. Espero que la señora del mostrador haya disfrutado ejerciendo su poquito de poder sobre mí y haciéndome sentir avergonzada. No he visitado este café antes, y ciertamente nunca veré mi dinero en el futuro.Trate a los clientes con cierta comprensión y respeto en el futuro y tal vez entonces verá personas más dispuestas a gastar su dinero libremente como agradecimiento por su alojamiento en lugar de por agresión y fuerza. ?

Reservé el té de la tarde, pedí mesa junto a la ventana y el gerente me aseguró que esto estaría bien. Al llegar adivinen lo que la mesa de la ventana estaba vacía, con dos mesitas puestas. Fuimos los siguientes: al supervisor no le habría tomado ni un minuto mover una mesa para que pudiéramos tener una mesa en la ventana, incluso con distanciamiento social. El supervisor fue bastante brusco de que no podíamos tener una mesa junto a la ventana y cuando dije que el gerente autorizó esto, respondió: '¡Tendré que hablar con él! ) Llegó el té de la tarde y por 18 cada uno no pensó que fuera mucho. Hemos tenido muchos tés de la tarde, más baratos y mucho mejores. Tal vez haga un viaje a Tong Garden Center para ver lo que ofrecen por menos dinero. Recomendaríamos - probablemente no. Lo siento.

Finalmente pude escribir una crítica según lo prometido.Visito aquí regularmente por lo que solo puedo decir que son los mejores blancos planos en Leeds.El lugar es perfecto para sentarse afuera o en un ambiente encantador y relajado dentro.El personal es muy amable, eficiente y amable.La comida también es excelente.Muchas graciasJane

Debería haber escrito una reseña de la Garden Room en The Mansion hace años, ¡este lugar es realmente excelente! Debería comenzar diciendo que soy un visitante habitual. A menudo utilizamos la Garden Room como una parada para tomar café mientras paseábamos por Roundhay Park, pero el año pasado, cuando nació nuestro primer bebé, nos convertimos en visitantes habituales de desayuno y almuerzo. El café, el desayuno y el almuerzo en la sala Garden siempre es excelente. Hemos tenido todas las opciones de desayuno, felizmente recomendaría cualquiera de ellas, aunque particularmente me gusta el kedgeree y los champiñones a la crema. Hay un bonito tema de Yorkshire en el menú y es una gran mezcla de lo tradicional y lo contemporáneo. No hace falta decir que la ubicación es excelente, la Garden Room es una ubicación impresionante. El servicio es tan excelente como la ubicación, el equipo es positivo, servicial y conocedor, siempre parecen estar bien con nosotros. Realmente califico este lugar altamente y, como he dicho, debería haber escrito una reseña hace mucho tiempo, pero lo que me ha llevado a hacerlo ahora es que disfrutamos una de nuestras mejores comidas recientemente. Arreglé llevar a mi pareja al Garden Room para la cena especial del Día de San Valentín, cada cosa de esta experiencia fue perfecta. El ambiente era romántico, y obviamente se veía tan genial como siempre, el aperitivo de bienvenida fue muy agradable, y los tres platos del menú especial fueron increíbles. Sinceramente, no puedo pensar en una mejor comida completa de tres platos que he tenido. Mi primer plato de huevo escocés de budín negro era mega, y a Jo le encantaron sus vieiras, a los dos nos comimos el bistec y nos encantó, especialmente el paté, y luego compartimos una tarta de manzana para el postre, ¡la crema coagulada y el caramelo salado eran increíbles! También nos impresionó mucho el vino, Jake nos ayudó a seleccionar el vino, dijo que habíamos elegido un gran Malbec, ¡y tenía razón! Disfrutamos completa y completamente de nuestra noche especial, un enorme agradecimiento al brillante equipo del Garden Room y nos vemos pronto.
