Lots of tables inside and outside to sit at, but the blinds in the ceiling need some attention as they are all dirty or broken. After waiting in a very long queue ordered two lattes, these were ok....but very expensive for what you got and it all seemed very production line...

We were greeted by the same friendly staff who took our order with a smile. However, I wish I had taken a photo to show how overcooked and dry our bacon rolls were, my husband's looked the worst and he struggled to eat it. Looked like it had be out standing for a couple of hours and not freshly cooked! So disappointing as it's the first time we have eaten out in several weeks and we were looking forward to their usual high standard. I am not normally one to complain but in this instance I wish I had taken the food back but I will just get a drink in future and take my own food with me :(

Absolutely terrible coffee. A flat white was very weak with a bit of froth on the top, not at all how it should have been and it was more expensive than I would expect to pay for a good coffee.

This really is an excellent cafe. Well positioned to catch any sunshine,plenty of tables inside and out, good selection of drinks, snacks etc. And a special mention of the young girls operating the cafe. It always seems to be busy with a queue for service but they are always polite, very quick and efficient, running the place very smoothly.

I went on a walk with my boyfriend and we thought we get a coffee and cake from the Golden Acre Park cafe ٫ well where do I start 1 the customers service wasn’t great I asked for a mocha and they didn’t ask what size I wanted and the mocha was tiny and it wasn’t filled to the top either and the quality of the coffee is rubbish they used filter Coffee which is poor quality 2 the price was too expensive for the quality of what you get £6.85 for a tiny poor quality mocha Which wasn’t filled to the top either and a slice of carrot cake which tasted ok. I gave it 1 star because the cake was ok. Next time I think I will go to either Greggs or Costa.

£4.50 for a sausage sandwich...very overpriced, sausages were hard and practically cremated as well. Rang and asked if they were specifically a breakfast place (they said yes) but only had bacon or sausage sandwiches on offer. Drinks were nice though

Pedí 2 Rollos de tocino, 1 crujiente para mí y 1 normal para mi nieta de 4 3/4. Ambos llegaron demasiado rápido y no me había dado cuenta de que ambos estaban crujientes. A mitad de camino, mi nieta dijo que este tocino era demasiado duro. Al comprobarlo, ambos estaban claramente crujientes y, al mirar hacia atrás, el tocino estaba obviamente listo, por lo que venía tan rápido. Como estaba parcialmente comido, pensé que no podía retirarlo, pero se lo mencioné a un miembro del personal que se disculpó pero no ofreció nada más ni un reembolso. La moraleja es asegurarse de indicar claramente al personal externo lo que desea y verificar el producto antes de comenzar. ! ! El Ayuntamiento de Leeds claramente no está de humor para ofrecer buenos y valiosos rollos de tocino.

Fuimos al café después de una caminata en un día lluvioso. La organización fue brillante, sistema unidireccional de entrada y salida, entrada controlada para evitar aglomeraciones, ordenar, pagar y cobrar en diferentes puntos y pantallas entre las mesas interiores. Todas estas excelentes precauciones y un equipo de personal joven educado y servicial para ayudarlo y guiarlo.El café está bien, de una máquina, y deliciosos pasteles, todos envueltos individualmente.Definitivamente volveremos a visitar pronto.

Recientemente fui a tomar una taza de té con mi hija y mi sobrino después de un paseo por el parque.Solo tengo que decir lo terribles que son las nuevas medidas, supuestamente de distanciamiento social.Tienes que hacer cola para entrar al café y hacer un pedido, hay un sistema complejo de un solo sentido que no funciona, dos veces otras personas me pasaron de cerca.La cola era larga y desorganizada, esperamos años, el joven que guiaba a la gente parecía tan desconcertado por el sistema como los clientes.Eventualmente entras en el café, pides la comida. Lleva lo que compras afuera, cuando afuera, la gente pasa de cerca, no hay orden. ¡Nadie sigue las flechas y también son engañosas!Mi sobrino necesitaba el baño, así que lo llevé, dejando mi bolso con mi hija en el área de asientos al aire libre. Nos dieron indicaciones confusas para llegar al baño, solo para que otro miembro del personal dijera que teníamos que unirnos a la cola original nuevamente y esperar hasta que sirvieran a las personas en el café. Decidí que no usaríamos el retrete e iríamos a otra parte, pero no podía, ya que estaba en la maldita cola, la gente estaba detrás de mí y tuve que quedarme en la cola de todos modos para volver con mi hija ¡grrrr! ¡Hacía calor y exasperante!Así que volvimos a hacer cola durante años para usar el retrete y luego nos pasaron otras personas mientras regresábamos a nuestro asiento.Mi consejo. . . ¡Hágalo solo en servicio de mesa! ! ! ¡Esto es lo que sucede en el café de Roundhay Park y funciona muy bien!Sentí pena por el joven personal, ¡realmente no parecían tener ni idea!

On our days out my neighbour and I start with a visit to a cafe. Our choice of snack is crumpet, cheese scone or toasted teacake. The toasted teakace here was firstclass. It was very large, fresh and delicious. The cafe serves a variety of eats and beverages and is extremely popular and as far as we are concerned gets our visit to Golden Acre Park off to a perfect start.

Fui a almorzar con un viejo amigo, mi alergia al trigo estaba bien atendida y no tuve que tener la omnipresente papa de chaqueta. Había una opción de dos quiches sin gluten con ensalada. ¡Increíble! Me preguntaron si también quería el quiche caliente o frío. El té estaba bueno. Después de eso, mi amigo y yo compartimos una gran porción de pastel de zanahoria GF, que fue excelente. Me sentí bienvenido y no me hicieron sentir que estaba siendo difícil. Todo el personal fue muy amable y servicial. Cafetería y baños agradables y limpios. También tuvimos un agradable paseo por el parque y alrededor de la presa de Adel bajo la lluvia, conocimos a muchos perros y dueños amigables. Excelente en todos los aspectos. Bien recomendado

Esto habría sido marcado más alto si se permitieran perros en la cafetería. Está en un parque donde la gente va a pasear a sus perros, ¿por qué no dejar que entren los perros? ¡Son los niños los que hacen un lío!Fuimos como un grupo grande, habiendo revisado el sitio web antes de que me decepcionara descubrir que los perros no están permitidos y se consideró si ir o no. Afortunadamente el clima mejoró y pudimos sentarnos afuera. El parque y la cafetería estaban ocupados debido al clima agradable y las vacaciones escolares, sorprendentemente no tuvimos que esperar mucho para ser atendidos.Comí un sándwich de jamón, un enorme trozo de camino rocoso y una taza de té que llegó a las 9. Nell tiene galletas para perros (5 p cada una) y como acabábamos de correr 6 millas hasta el café, le di unas masticadas para perros, a las 2. 50 por tres, no volverá a ser tan afortunada.La cafetería se encuentra en un entorno encantador en una zona ajardinada del parque, que no tuve la oportunidad de ver antes de recuperar el minibús.

My boyfriend and I took our Sproodle to the Golden Acre Park for a nice stroll during the brief snowy spell, which was lovely.We stopped at the cafe to have some breakfast and tea. The cafe is not dog friendly but there is plenty of seating outside where you are welcome to sit with your dog and there’s dog treats available at the til (although not sure if these are free or to buy we didn’t get any ourselves).For a regular breakfast, a large breakfast, and a pot of tea for two, it cost us just under £17. We thought the prices were really reasonable, especially for Leeds! When food arrived, the plates were so small and there really isn’t much difference between the regular and big breakfast so that was slightly disappointing. There was only a pound difference between a sausage sandwich and a breakfast. Everything else was great!The inside looked really clean and staff were really friendly and attentive; the service was really good as well. It also had a selection of HUGE portions of cake that all looked incredible.We would definitely return to the cafe, but maybe just for a bit of cake rather than breakfast. Overall, lovely cafe and walk ☺️

Este es un café muy ocupado, o al menos fue el día de mi visita, que fue un domingo, parece ser muy popular entre los lugareños, esta fue mi primera visita, pero sin duda volveré a aparecer cuando vuelva a visitar , situado en la parte superior del parque, después de girar a la izquierda al entrar por el paso subterráneo, el café era barato, y justo lo que pedí, caliente y húmedo.

Lo cambiaron inmediatamente por un pequeño café con leche, por lo que el servicio y el ambiente fueron buenos, solo una gran decepción y un desperdicio de dinero.

This cafe is in a lovely little location with scenic views of the gardens, and a well-kept outdoor seating area. Service is quick and friendly and there is always a nice selection of cakes! However, the cafe seems a little overpriced. We were hoping to get some sausage sandwiches after a walk around the park, however changed our minds when we saw they were £4.20 each!

For a cafe based in a park this is better than most I have visited! When we visited there were several different cakes, biscuits and buns, a range of teas and coffees and soft drinks.

My wife had a baked potato with fillings and was well pleased with the portion size and accompanying salad. I had a scone and it was very well made. The cafe had a good selection of foods and snacks and was reasonably priced. Sitting outside in the sun we had splendid views across the gardens. If you are in Leeds it is well worth a visit.

I’ve been to this cafe a few times and the coffee and cakes are lovely. Today I came with a friend, her little girl and two dogs. It was warm enough to sit outside but as I went to secure the dogs to the wall I realised someone has removed the metal hook that you could fasten dog leads to. There were no other hooks or facilities to fasten the dogs up, which meant that there was no option other than to sit with them both hooked under my chair leg. There must age been 5 or 6 other dogs outside the cafe and it was pretty chaotic. Not sure why the hooks have been removed but please can we have them back?!

We walk in Golden Acres several times a week and finish at the cafe. Very expensive for what they provide so we pick up a lovely wrap from Morrisons on the way instead and just drop in the cafe for coffee. Well until this week that is - the worst coffee I've ever tasted. It was either cheap instant or dregs -really horrible. On top of that the milk had little bits in it from either a badly washed jug or machine. I wasn't the only person to comment either since the lady after me had the same experience and hers was barely warm. I guess we'll pack a flask in the summer and when the weather's cold take the little path of to the hotel.

Visited whilst walking the dog in Golden acre with elderly mother in law. It was a freezing cold day and we were unable to sit inside with the dog. Very disappointing as there is more than enough room to accommodate a dog area. The food was acceptable and reasonably priced though nothing special. Though as we were all so cold we rushed our food in order to get walking . Real shame might have stayed longer.

I take my kids here fairly regularly as they can have a reasonably healthy lunch or snack after a nice walk. Today I went specifically to give them an early evening tea. Knowing the cafe closed at 5pm on a Sunday I thought that arriving at 4.10pm would give us plenty of time to eat and be out by 5pm. There were 4 staff, a queue of 3 customers (of which I was 2nd) and the place was near empty. But having waited more than 10 minutes to be served I was told that no hot food was served after 4pm. I explained my situation and all I wanted was beans on toast for the kids but no, it was too much for them at 4.21pm (as I was precisely told). I asked where it said that hot food stopped at 4pm and no one could tell me. I get it, staff want to get out on time at the end of the day but where's the customer service? Not in the mind of staff who care little for the commercial business that's for sure. Needless to say I left without buying anything and they lost 3 meals.

As I am allergic to dairy products I asked for a soya latte. I was told that the latte machine couldn't do that but that they could make one up manually. What I got was an ordinary black coffee ( nearly full to the brim) and a very small jug of soya milk. I was still charged the price of an ordinary latte rather than the lower price of a standard coffee. That didn't bother me too much . It was they couldn't or wouldn't simply put a cup of soya milk and some coffee in it in the microwave and instead a gave me a standard coffee masquerading as a latte.

my favourite brew is a pot of Earl Grey Tea, add that to one of the tastiest scones I've had for a very long time, good company and a sunny day what more could a girl want. The man before me was selecting a whole load of buns to give to his cleaner and her granddaughter and the assistant placed each one carefully in individual bags for him, I resisted but only just.The outside area has been extended so there is even more seating, a covered area perfect for me and the 5 month old, my friend and her dog. So out of the breeze and the dog stayed with us as they are not allowed inside. I was supplied with the hot water I needed for the baby's bottle with no problems. Plenty of child seats around as well I noticed. Plenty of people with small children and prams inside. Nice atmosphere ( this is one of the reasons I go). Toilets ( very clean) inside as well.

So today myself and my 3 year old son came for a walk to Golden Acre Park and all the way round I had promised him we would call into the cafe for a hot chocolate. I brought my sons own prescribed carton of milk and hot chocolate with me. I ordered my hot chocolate and then kindly asked for the staff to make my son a hot chocolate using the things I had brought with me. I was rudely told this couldn't happen without any explanation or without the member of staff going to discuss this with a manager. My son has Phenylketonuria which is a rare genetic disorder requiring precise control of his protein intake otherwise this can cause serious health issue relating to his brain in later life. I have never been anywhere that hasn't been helpful and supportive of this and I have never had to tell my son we can't sit and have a hot chocolate somewhere. I have been to this cafe many times where he has sat and had his hot chocolate so I am very disappointed that today the member of staff who served us decided that they could not help us. More places need to take into consideration certain conditions as my son should be able to sit and have a simple hot chocolate with his mum!

The cafe seems to have been extended since my last visit and there was plenty of room to sit down. And the park itself is great for a walk with lots of wildfowl on the lake.I had an egg mayo sandwich and a cappuccino. Nothing wrong with the coffee but the sandwich was not the best tasting almost as if the mayo was past it's sell by date. And the fact that it was brought to the table wrapped in polythene suggests that it may well have been prepared some time before it was served. Service fairly slow and not particularly friendly with the staff doing the bare minimum required. Which is a little sad.As the only eatery in the park I guess these guys have a virtual monopoly. A little competition might lead to a much needed improvement.

We often take a walk around Golden Acre Park and it's great to stop for a coffee and a cake. As we usually have our large dog with us in the past we have struggled to sit outside on a lovely day but with the recent refurbishment that is no longer a problem. We stopped off for a pot of tea and a large cookie after a lovely walk in the sunshine. Plenty of outdoor seating and a welcome bowl of water for our four legged friend. There's a good selection of tray bakes and cakes, scones and sandwiches. Hot food too. A lovely conservatory too if it's a cooler day and you aren't accompanied by your dog! We enjoyed the refreshments and were served inside promptly. However the staff on this occasion weren't what you would expect in such lovely surroundings. Quite brusque, no greeting and matter of fact with little personality or friendliness. Perhaps it was an off day.

We call quite often at the cafe and have watched the conservatory, and now the outdoor patio and 'gazebo' being built over the past couple of years. At last they are finished. The conservatory now has ceiling blinds to protect us from the searing sun coming through the glass! Well done!It was a day of showers so the outside tables and chairs were soaking, so I popped back inside to help myself to the paper roll on the counter and wiped them down. There was plenty of room inside but no big deal drying a place outside. We don't mind queueing or getting our own cutlery or carrying our used crockery back inside. After all, that's what everyone does at IKEA without moaning.We paid an average amount for drinks and plate of sandwiches. The staff were efficient and friendly and busy as usual - Sunday after all. Not bad for a public park.Signed: Two Old Codgers

We stopped off on a rainy day to walk the dog and have a drink. It seems ridiculous that dogs are not allowed anywhere indoors. There is a large conservatory that would be ideal and in many places dogs would be welcome there.As the only other people we saw were walking dogs it seems foolish to exclude the majority of potential customers. The food was okay but not startling, the prices were a little startling.The grounds are good but I don't recommend the cafe.

After a walk around the park we stopped for a coffee. Good quality coffee and in addition plenty of tray bake type sweet things on offer. There were many folks eating more substantial hot meals which looked very appealing. On our first visit we had scone and butter which was huge, freshly baked and just what we wanted but unfortunately on our second visit they had "run out" so we selected the seeded flapjack which was nice if yet a little expensive. The outdoor seating is great on a warm day (also well used by grateful dog walkers) and I imagine the new conservatory will be welcome in winter but it was very warm when we visited even with the doors propped open.

Of an afternoon, the cafe gets full of 'yummy mummies' who've toddled over from the car-park, and it can also be very busy at weekends and during school holidays. The food is average, and not great value, same for the drinks. But it's in a great location.

We went as a group of friends with babies on a very quiet Monday. There is no space inside or outside the cafe for leaving pushchairs so we had no choice but to bring them inside with us. There were empty tables and the ones near by were very happy that we parked our pushchairs next to our table - we had politely asked them before sitting down.The staff however complained that we were taking up too much room. When the food arrived they would not get cutlery for the mums feeding, just pointed out where it was and did nothing to assist us. When we went to get the cutlery it was sat on the side and filthy. The cafe is extremely expensive. A very small cup of coffee is over £2 and is usually cold by the time you get it to your table. A very plain sandwich is over £5. It is not child friendly or wheelchair friendly as the only way to get to the cafe is down steps.

Went at weekend, quite busy but staff very pleasent, food quite good and good value for money.They are expanding the area for seating so there is lo of building work going on which is a bit distracting. Otherwise OK

Visited here after a family walk. Coffee was terrible, charged £2 for 2 shots of caramel in the lattes .Hot chocolate, charged £1 for cream and £1 for 6 mini marshmallows..Would have queried the bill but didn't look at until we were back home in Bedfordshire. Defiantly won't go again

I have been looking forward to seeing the new conservatory but twice its only been 12degrees outside but inside its boiling hot. That should be good in the winter but what happens when its nearer 20 degrees? I had a chocolate flapjack which was cooked so solid you couldn't even bite it. I asked the waiter to change it for a different cake,which he did reluctantly but with no apology. It will be interesting to see if I get an apology on this review!!

we visit regularly with our dog either after or during walks to Golden Acre & Pauls Pond. the staff are always helpful, happy, friendly & the cakes are great especially their scones & ginger cake. their prices are reasonable & service is good. if you visit during school holidays or weekends then expect a wait as the cafe gets extremely busy. the conservatory is a lovely addition. if its raining & you have a dog their is also an undercover seated area behind the cafe. my only gripe is to the council as they don't allow the staff to take tips! i feel this policy should be looked into as your staff work hard & if a customer wishes to tip then there should be a way of the staff being able to accept it.

This cafe is very welcoming after walking around golden acre park. Dining inside and out, with plenty of room for families with little ones and pushchairs. Watch the Kites fly overhead as you enjoy your food. Well presented and a good choice, this cafe is a good place to relax on a sunny day.

On a beautiful sunny sunny morning in March we walked Golden Acre Park which is always a delight and the cafe was a very welcome stop at the end of the walk

I use the park many times a week to walk my dogs but it is not possible to use the café unless you have someone with you to go in and purchase. If you find a way to buy - the cakes are good and you can get a large mug of tea, doesn't have to be a small fussy teapot. There is no covered seating for dog walkers to use unless the tiny shed for selling plants behind the café is unlocked. There is a plastic sheet roof covering half the space so only a handful of dog walkers can fit in - if they're all really friendly and so are their dogs.Appalling service given that Runners and Dog Walkers are the only people out using the park in all weathers and all through the year.

This is a very nice, well used cafe which has been recently extended to provide a clean spacious place to sit and eat. A Waller's dog area is currently being built as well as a ramp for wheelchair access to the cafe. The food is nicely cooked and presented and the coffee is very nice too! It is rather expensive for a cafe but a nice place to have a bacon sarnie after a long walk! The staff are nice too!

Whilst out for a walk we called in here for a cuppa and a scone. The scone was lovely and substantial and it was good value for money.

It's been quite a while since we visited this park and cafe. It was mid afternoon when we arrived, but the car park was quite full. The new conservatory is now finished, so we decided to go look at it.Inside was clean and bright. There were plenty of tables free, so sat in the conservatory overlooking the park.We had a tea and coffee, and large iced finger. This seemed to be the best deal in the cakes, as small squares of current squares, and other similar cakes are £2.plus which seem very expensive.The tea and coffee were good, but the cake was slightly dry on the edges.There is plenty of seating outside, for people with dogs to sit.The park is nice to walk round, even on a cold winter day, and plenty of people were feeding the ducks, geese, and swans.

Lovely local area to walk the dog, feed the ducks, take a run, have a coffee and slice of cake. Great to enjoy a barbque in summer. Great for couples, families and dog walkers

Very pleasant place to sit and have a nice coffee and cake (or more if you wish). Recently upgraded the modern clean looking cafe is a nice meeting point or a place to relax after walking around the park. The food isn't cheap but is nice quality.

This was my first time here after walking our dogs. I ordered a cheese and ham Panini at £5.40 It had the thinnest smear of cheese and the smallest amount of ham, just covering the bread. It came with a salad. I showed the sandwich to the manager who to her credit refunded the price. I am assuming that the staff have been given instructions on how to prepare these meals and whoever that is, could you please consider how your need to make big margins has a limited life span and this short sightedness probably creates less profit in the end and certainly leaves your customers feeling let down. I can say that the person who dealt with my concern was polite and professional.

We had the dog with us and it was raining so the staff set us up a table and chairs in a sheltered area so we could have coffee and cake in the dry, the cafe also sell individual doggy treats (5p), so Millie had a nice dry treat too!

After a picnic lunch and an afternoon in the park, my daughter and I relaxed with a pot of tea at a table outside. The tea was hot and very nice, but the cafe got bonus points from me as they were able to supply soya to go with the tea. The service was friendly. It was not too busy at the time.

Extension work is a disgrace - it is so slow, two years to build such a small extension. It really needs some heads knocking together. It could have been completely rebuilt in less time than this.The service in the cafe is very good, the girls and boys working there work really hard.

A lovely day out around the park was lovely then into the cafe. Not much on the menu and very busy. Desperate to sit down and it was so busy but all the seats were taken, also loads of building work was being taken place so it was quite off putting on a nice quiet day

Service in the cafe is very slow. Some very young staff, with hardly any training. Tables piled high with previous customers left overs that staff walk past, people push them to the side so they can sit down, staff still ignore the piles of plates and cups on the cafe walls. Shame the cafe is terrible because the park is really nice

I've been going in the cafe at Golden Acre for ages. The food is simple but well made. I went on Thursday and had the hot dog. Food was fine but my god they are tight with sauce. One tiny sachet of mustard and one ketchup with a jumbo hot dog. They ration the sauce from under the counter like a school canteen.Love the cafe but staff need to cheer up and put the sauce on the side so customers can help themselves.

I called in for a sandwich and drink while walking around the Park I stood waiting to be served for 10 minutes while staff walked passes talked to each other and totally ignored me. Due to time restraints I had to go back to work without any food ! The place was not busy and their is no excuse to ignore customers.

Nice pub, warm and comfy with new Christmas meal offers and Christmas drinks too. We had the chocolate orange espresso martini which was absolutely lush. 2 for £9.00 too which was great. Even the coffee is great so I would highly recommend.

If I could leave 0 stars I would. Been in here today and witnessed a woman talk to the bar staff (who are fantastic by the way) in the most disgusting, disrespectful and horrible way in front of a pub full of customers. I'm absolutely appalled. How a woman of that age can act in such an abhorrent way is unbelievable. I will never set foot in there again if that's who's profiting from my custom. Vile behaviour.
