Gron Kafe Leeds in Leeds

The food was very average. There was nothing unique or special about the food. The service was substandard. I would definitely avoid this place.

We stopped off here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. From the outside it looks nice but inside it was mouldy from the condensation problem. The toilet floor was soaked with condensation and it was mouldy in there too We asked what the soup of the day way (cauliflower & cheese) but we’re served mushroom which wasn’t nice. Others in our group ordered burgers with potatoes but only one portion of potatoes arrived. When we asked for the other portion we waited for a long time. The waitress then came back, interrupted us eating to ask us to pay for the ‘extra’ portion of potatoes because she had forgotten to add them to the order at first. Wouldn’t go back.

I visited Gron as I had seen the beautiful pancake posts on insta. Unfortunately, we got there and the menu had changed. (Waffles instead of pancakes). I picked the waffles and you can essentially ‘build your own’ - pick one sauce and two toppings. It came beautifully presented, was very filling and was so so tasty! My friend took her dog and the staff absolutely loved him - very dog friendly :) Would recommend - it’s a lovely little place!

The coffee is good, but for lunch, I'd go elsewhere. Clearly popular though. Mind your head if you go to the toilet!

I had not visited Gron Kafe for over a year.It has a great ambience and a new menu full of exciting options.The staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. It is family friendly .I ordered the mushrooms on toast and my friend enjoyed the gravlax . It was impossible to tell the coffees we drank were decaffeinated

This is a good little cafe for Brunches and coffees. We had a great time early morning (after 10 am it fills up). You can bring a pooch along.

We attended as a group of 5 friends and each ordered coffees and brunch. We were not told at this point about a delay on food, and the restaurant was probably at about 60% capacity. One of our party received her food quite quickly, before others had even received their drinks. The rest of the food did not come out for a significant period of time - the final meal came out over an hour later than the first. Drinks were missed off the order and also brought late. While staff were polite, we had to repeatedly question how long the food would be and chase the meals, and they were not particularly apologetic. There was no offer of discount or refund, which we felt would have been appropriate given we had all eaten separately due to the meals arriving at such different times. The food itself was lovely and well presented, but expensive for the portion size, and let down by the poor service.

I’ve been going to Gron for a number of years now but really feel it has gone downhill recently. Perhaps this is due to a change of management and staff turnover ? The coffee and food is still good ... but I’ve found the service and staff attitude to be rather indifferent on a number of occasions that I’ve been recently. A smile and a goodbye once I’ve paid isn’t much to ask for to make the customer feel valued .

We went for brunch this morning and it was all very mediocre. The coffee was expensive and not the best I’ve had and my egg royale was cold and I don’t recall it having Hollandaise on it. (Maybe it did but I obviously didn’t notice it.) It was impossible to get the staff’s attention (no salt & pepper to be seen) and they looked pretty unhappy. My friend had the Brekky and was happy with it but my other friend had the porridge oats and it was so dry, it was like eating sawdust. Shan’t be going back as there are loads of other independent cafes around where you are warmly welcomed, get better food and you feel like a valued customer.

I visited this cafe a few weeks back and I was very disappointed. When we arrived (2 of us) we were sat at a table for 4 by a waitress, but then a few minutes later a man (presumably the manager) came over and told us that if a larger party came in we would have to move. As the table we were sat at was the only available table I don’t know where he thought he’d move us to, but this put us off immediately. It took a very long time for anyone to take our order as the waitress was very busy with other orders (totally understandable it was busy) but the man was just stood there on his phone ignoring everyone around him. Very unprofessional as the other girl was struggling and he offered no help at all in front of customers, I can only imagine how ignorant he must be to staff when no one is watching. I wouldn’t recommend this cafe to anyone, there are plenty of others in the local area that are much more welcoming and the staff actually look happy.

Me and my work friend met up here and was not disappointed, we bowl had Buddha bowls and lovely drinks. Service was quick.

Ordered a latte, it was £3 which is enough to pay anyway. The guy took about 10 minutes to make it, when it finally arrived it was the kind of size you might give to a toddler, I had no idea you could even get cups that small. Absolute rip off.

Been wanting to try this cafe for brunch, is obviously popular as there’s always a queue! Have to say that the staff were friendly and advised there’d be 45 minute wait for Sunday brunch. No issue there, but the food really was t very good! Over cooked scrambled eggs and soggy french toast. For the price I’d definitely rather go elsewhere in future.

Popped in for brunch with my family on Sunday, it was very busy. The food was still outstanding and the staff couldn't have been more helpful if they tried. My daughter and I had the scrambled eggs on sourdough they were amazing, my husband had the breakfast melt......his was so good he wouldn't even let me have a bite. The only problem was we were too full to try any of the cakes available. We will be back soon!!

Lovely little cafe with sensational food. I had mushrooms on toast with poached egg and it was the nicest thing I’ve ever eaten! (They had obviously finessed it with various exciting ingredients). My wife had pancakes with seasonal fruit compote and it looked like a work of art. The server was very friendly and helpful and the white hot chocolates were also delicious. What a great little place! Thoroughly recommended.

Visited today for some breakfast, we’ve been a few times before and always enjoyed the place but this is the first time leaving a review. As always the place is neat and tidy and has a cool atmosphere, the staff are friendly and prompt, the...

We came here for my birthday brunch - reasonable prices, good choice of items on the menu, friendly staff. The food was really tasty and just enough for a brunch. We had the mushrooms on toast with a poached egg and the smoked salmon eggs...

Unfortunately we’d been looking forward to visiting Gron for so long but were so so disappointed by the staff. The waitress didn’t wipe down our bench outside when it was raining and they were very difficult about letting us know when a table inside would...

Had brunch, bear in mind we were the only customers and both had the same item from the menu. The rosti was warmish, not hot and the egg was so small we thought it might be a quails egg. At £8 way overpriced! Wasn’t enamoured...

I have been a regular, visiting this cafe for the past two years as I enjoyed the food, coffee and service. Recently I visited and was the only customer waiting and the new male member of staff was incredible rude, if anything it was a...

Really lovely breakfast location. We both had an open sour dough sandwich which was delicious. The coffee tasted great too. A lovely spot for a lazy Sunday morning breakfast.

Lovely place to called for breakfast. The cafe were small but clean. Would not called it over priced as the quality of food and drink do made up for it. Definitely called back again!

Pleasant staff. Well screened for covid. Breakfast bagel was filling but quite pricey. I guess the vegan produce is a bit more expensive. It’s a small menu. There’s also a few cakes but not many. It’s a cool place but is missing something to propel...

I had high hopea for this place knowing the owner was ex Master Chef contestant. I ordered the Banana Pancakes which were so tough i had to sqw through them with my knife. I never knew pancakes could be like this. Clearly these were not...

Honestly, I love Grön more than any other cafe and due to COVID I haven’t been able to go more. The food is amazing, the coffee delightful and the staff kind, welcoming and switched on. Perfect place for an aesthetically pleasing lunch, brunch, coffee, cake...

Nice little cafe on the main road through Roundhay on the edge of the park. Nice fresh stuff and excellent coffee!!

Interesting different menu . Great atmosphere and child friendly .All the food freshly made and the coffee much better than usually served in other restaurants.The staff were helpful , friendly and knowledgable especially Leanne A constructive suggestion would be to offer more food designed for...

I was very impressed with Gron. The coffee was exquisitely tasty and the salmon on sourdough was fresh and balanced. Staff were bubbly and welcoming, I very much look forward to returning.

Dropped in for, Tea, Coffee, Juices and a very tasty 50/50 hot chocolate. Nice that you can re-use your tea bag with an extra hot water shot. Lovely cakes too.

Amazing Gluten Free Pancakes! Visited here on a Saturday morning as a table of 2. My friend had recommend this place as we’re both gluten free and I was not disappointed with the pancakes!! I ordered the banana and caramelised pecan pancakes which were delicious...

Everything from bottled beetroot and ginger juice to delicately garnished eggs royale is Instagram-ready - and actually has the taste to match. Imaginative menus come with playful seasonal specials (mince pie French toast today for example was difficult to resist) and dangerously good coffee. The...

Everything was just delicious and seemed prepared by people who really care about food. I had the pictured Sweet potato & Halloumi hash, some of my friend's Scrambled egg with crab and a brownie. If I wasn't on a budget I'd come here all the...

Brilliant place for breakfast or brunch. Good choice, freshly cooked, good quality ingredients. Fantastic beetroot cured salmon and great coffee. Friendly, helpful staff, always a pleasure to eat here.

Arrived at 10am prior to an autumnal walk around Roundhay Park. Advocado on toast with a poached egg x 2, a flat white and a breakfast tea came to around £22. This amount equates to a treat for brunch for us, but a worthy one...

Grons, in an old shop that's been converted to a cafe. There is a strong Scandi influence to the cafes decor and menu. Kilner jars of teas including a Tangerine fizz (allow time to brew). The brunch menu looks great with poached eggs, smoked salmon,...

Starting with a service and ending with the food the place is truly amazing. I had fig pancakes which were brilliant- a great mix of flavours and textures which were complimented by a great presentation. The place is very dog friendly, light and relaxed. A...

I called in for breakfast on the recommendation of friends and was not disappointed. It is a sort of no frills but trendy place but has a wonderful breakfast/brunch menu. I had the special menu - salmon gravlax on potato cakes with a light dill...

Bold statement, but justified. Best flat white I’ve ever had. Visited early doors on a Saturday morning, by 10.30 the place was heaving so recommend you go early as you can’t book! Great menu all at ‘normal’ town cafe prices (not cheap but no more...

Have been wanting to try Gron for ages and finally got the opportunity. Firstly the good points , this is a really lovely place,very good staff, lovely menu with some different things on it. The place has a really relaxed feel to it and I...

My mixed experience here hasn't spoiled my enthusiasm for the potential Gron has. The staff were enthusiastic, the Scandi menu was full of charming twists. But the execution of the food and drink was poor. The first taboo was automatically putting chocolate on my cappuccino....

5* service, amazingly good food and pretty reasonable prices. A really good place to brunch just outside leeds city centre.

We popped in to see what vegan cakes they had and to grab a quick coffee on the go. However, we had to wait ages for it to brew and it cost over £6 for one coffee and one piece of tiffin. Delicious tiffin and...

Family birthday celebration for brunch on a Friday morning. Very busy and buzzy, chatty and cheerful service, cool Scandi vibe (loved the cup n stone platter). Excellent food and drinks. Banana waffles were mega and delicious, baked butter beans and TWO poached eggs on sourdough...

Came here on a Sunday afternoon at 1.45pm. Upon arriving was welcomed and notified that the kitchen was shutting at 2pm so quickly ordered two coffees and tried the peanut butter and banana on sourdough. Coffee was amazing the best I’ve had around North Leeds!...

Really friendly cafe and is dog friendly. Food is lovely but portion sizes are small for the price. Pancakes are excellent.

Gron seems to me to have hit the market just right. Quiet...a place to catch up, to work, to sit solo...computer sockets. A small but good menu and delicious coffee. Yes, I'd return again. Rumour has it that this is THE place to brunch.

The brunch menu was varied and I had the two poached eggs on sourdough which was tasty and £5.50 which I thought was a fair price. Also had a vegan cake which was delicious and not too sweet. Please to see they offered oat and...

We thought a trip here was in order, so four of us and a little adult when for brunch, we were all seating quickly, the place was busy. Therer was plenty to chose from on the menu, We ordered four coffees which were very nice,...

The staff were lovely and the menu was great, really varied and some very high quality meals for a very competitive price. I was disappointed by my poached eggs though. I received a very raw egg, which made my bread really wet so I asked...

I have been to Gron multiple times with family and friends and I’ve always received the best service from all staff :) The vegan cakes are super delicious and especially the main hot food is just so feel good. Just the right portions size. Amazing...

The manager was really friendly and they even had a dog bed which made the whole family feel at home! Food was delicious too.

Interesting menu & concept ‘Clean’ cooking and different from the abundance of cafes that seem to be taking over our high street Curried potato & cauliflower soup was superb as was the pickled herring on s bed of pickled cabbage and apple salad My guest...

The avocado and poached egg on sourdough with home cured beetroot salmon was absolutely sublime. Faultless absolutely delicious. They need to make that salmon a dish of its own it's so good. Surprised not to see a salmon with rye bread and dill mayo type...

This cafe offers a Swedish take on familiar favourites, adding extra interest in terms of taste and stylish presentation. Portions are generous for the money. The sourdough toast is truly magnificent as well as wholesome, th eggs cooked to perfection. We enjoyed scrumptious macaroni with...

Truffle macaroni mushroomy yummyness. Could have eaten 4 bowls of that. Nice atmos and great food. Def go again.

Have been for breakfast twice in the last month. Menu hacked down a bit between visits but excellent food and coffee on both occasions. Lovely truffled eggs, salmon (smoked as cured wasn’t available) and fish cakes (sadly off menu now). Having been to the foundry...

Called in for coffee and cake and was not disappointed. Good coffee and excellent brownie. The member of staff was chatty and welcoming but the slight downside was that it was on the expensive side.

Had a wonderful brunch this morning at Gron. Quiet on a Thursday morning but service was attentive but not intrusive and the food was so good. I had the mushroom on sour dough small plate which included a few pickled mushrooms, might sound strange but...

We had a delicious lunch here, as a vegetarian it was great to have so many choices. The service was great and we loved the living green wall at the back of the cafe. I'll definitely be back.

We’d heard great things about this new cafe in Oakwood, and were eager to give it a try for brunch. We really were spoilt for choice looking at the menu and the cakes in the counter looked very tempting. We went for the smoked haddock...

Thoroughly loved our brunch here. The food was really tasty, looked amazing and there was loads to choose from. Not cheap, I grant you but worth it. They do gluten free pancakes too so we’ll be back with our GF kid. The set up is...

What can I say, they had me at the vegan friendly sign before they even opened! I was so excited to visit Gron having seen the menu online and dragged my friends to Oakwood at the first opportunity. It was amazing to go somewhere where...

Having compulsively checked the Instagram account for Grön waiting for the opening announcement, I was thrilled to discover it would be open in time for my birthday so myself, my husband and our one year old headed over for brunch and oh my days it...

The fishcakes were fabulous and the scrambled eggs scrumptious. Served with an eye for aesthetics and detail. Made to look easy but a lot of work obviously entailed behind the scenes to create such lovely food. Coffee was the best I've had for ages too....

Perfect spot for a lovely family brunch following a walk in nearby Roundhay Park. Even better that Grön is so child and dog friendly! Great atmosphere, such helpful staff, delightful decor and delicious food, coffee and cake. No complaints whatsoever here.... definitely be returning soon!

This is my second visit. My first was within days of opening and the teething problems were evident. So as not to jump to conclusions, I decided to give Gron another chance. 50cl of homemade lemonade was £2:50. It had very little taste. I chose...

The food is stunning - as is the coffee - but it's the friendly atmosphere that makes me want to return. Plenty of vegan and gluten free options, and everything is beautifully presented. Love it at Gron and will definitely be going again.

What a fantastic addition to Oakwood! I had heard that Gron was good so had high hopes - I was certainly not disappointed. My cappuccinos were absolutely spot on, in fact I had two. I found it hard to decide what to eat, with so...

Discovered this little gem by accident and was not disappointed. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Very minimalistic but less is more and this is definitely the case with this unsuspecting establishment. Food is perfectly cooked and very fresh. Must visit if you’re in...

Visited with a couple of friends for brunch it was very busy and people were waiting for seats , worth the wait I must say , Cozy cafe with beautiful decor and a gorgeous flower wall. The staff were very attentive and cheerful , service...

I'd not been to gron before but stumbled across it on a cold Monday morning in the historic conservation area of Oakwood near Roundhay park. Anyway I popped in for a cup of tea and light lunch. The staff are a friendly the cafe cosy...

2 visits within the space of 5 days, love this place and can’t wait to work my way through the menu. Great vibe, good music and lovely staff.

Thanks Gron for the lovely food and drinks. Baked beans on toast with a poached egg never tasted so good, soft smokey butter beans with a runny egg...simple but so well done. Lovely staff, very friendly, we’ll be back soon.
