Harvey Nichols Espresso Bar in Leeds

Mrs Bore and I had a salmon and ham sandwich respectively. Both really well prepared on fresh bread though just short of £10 each. The one thing preventing 5 stars is they had outside heaters that nearly singed my hair.

Excellent repas.. les menus sont de qualité! & équilibrés! Les entrées telles que le chicken tikka balloting, le chared mackerel vous mettent l'eau à la bouche. Dans les Mains, le pan fried sea bread etait divin et cuit à perfection ! Les Tagliolinis à la sauce parmesan et ses artichauts de Jérusalem étaient pour nous un vrai plaisir dégustatif; je recommande vivement! Une belle découverte que ce magnifique restaurant avec un servicep plus qu'impeccable a tout point de vue.

We stopped for a sandwich in the lovely centre of the Victoria Arcade - we just had coffee and a soft drink with a cheddar/carrot chutney sandwich to share which was plenty. Service efficient and sandwich was fine - not the best I have ever had but the good atmosphere in this pretty arcade made up for that.

Horrible staff , rude and unwelcoming. Everything seemed to be too much trouble for them. It was embarrassing for the people that were visiting I won’t be coming here again.

Super rude staff, young guy was nice however the others really put me off. My glass was also broken and I could have cut my hand. Expected a lot more and at least for staff to be polite not ignorant and moody. Also did not like the way one staff memeber spoke to another (in an aggressive way). Food/drink was nice.

Este lugar es un pedacito de calma en el bullicioso centro de Leeds (bueno, cuando "el virus" no está afectando nuestras vidas). Un gran lugar para un G&T después de las compras, no es el lugar más barato, pero es agradable y relajante, con un personal amable.

A nice cup of tea and coffee with a jam and cream scone. Very nice coffee shop. The surroundings are very nice and was enjoyed by all.

Came here for afternoon tea. The food was amazing, they had changed the scones which were so much better then the ones served before. Wish they did these separate of the afternoon tea. You get a lot of food and we had to take some of the cakes home.

Thought we would enjoy a glass of bubbly, but saw the Chenin Blanc on menu and both ordered a glass. Quick service, great wine, warm table and enjoyable 40mins on Valentines Day.

I found the food very disappointing. I chose the beetroot and chickpea salad with added chicken. The salad which was meant to have chargrilled radicchio actually came hot, as in the beetroot was steaming, but the chicken was a pasty sliced breast straight out of the fridge not freshly cooked. An extremely unpleasant combination I’m afraid. My sons turkey roll was completely uninspiring given the price. I wouldn’t return in a hurry.

popped in for a drink & knibbles. it was, as you would expect, on the slightly more expensive side, but it was a great way to relax between shopping & enjoy excellent customer service & some very good snacks & drinks

This breakfast was incredible. I have been craving for a very long time a good breakfast “bap”, “cob”, “barm”, depending on where you are in the world. My girlfriend and I took a visit to the Espresso Bar. The outside area is amazing with the heaters, although I know for those who are reading this it’s not theoretically outside. We went for the Tailor-Made Breakfast Sandwich. I ordered the back bacon and black pudding. It was incredible. On wholemeal roll. My girlfriend ordered the Yorkshire Sausage and Black Pudding. Personally I preferred the Bacon. The sandwich comes with either coffee or tea. It’s cheap too! This will be remembered in my mind as one of the nicest moments I have spent with her, it cosy, the food was great, it was quiet, and you were in a stunning setting. Perfect.

Honestly the best afternoon tea I’ve ever had. Wonderful presentation which gave an immediate wow factor. Very good selection of sandwiches and cakes and different to others I’ve had which made it interesting. Definitely worth £22. The staff were very attentive and the surroundings pleasant. A lovely mother daughter experience.

Visiting Leeds we arranged to meet one of my wife’s cousins here for a coffee and a light bite at lunchtime on a wet Saturday. Set in the heart of Leeds we had a short wait to be seated. We both opted for a Brie and Fig Foccacia sandwich with decaf Coffee Both were excellent and coupled with attentive service was a very good choice of venue.

Been here lots of times , very nice , great staff. Best for me is the nice fresh scone cream and jam, jam normally in a jar with sealed top. Today jam had been spooned into a small dish. Not good. Just a way to make more money

Really convenient when your feet are aching from shopping. Stopped by for a light lunch and cocktails before getting the train home!! Service was efficient and attentive. Cocktails amazing and lunch was light and fresh. Could have stayed longer but was glad we stopped by x

We called in for a break form shopping. We had a tea, a coffee and two breakfast sandwiches, all very good and promptly served. The heaters were much needed on a cool damp day

I booked in advance for 4 people. I was originally told it would be in the Brasserie upstairs and confirmed the booking on the Friday prior to the Sunday. The other couple arrived first and were told we did not have a booking. We found...

What a pleasure to sit and watch with a lovely meal , food was excellent, service very good nothing to much trouble, the green pea salad with chicken was delicious, the meatballs and pasta was equally as good

Come here a lot when I don’t have much time and I just need a quick bite to eat. The food is comfort food, staff are very polite. Definitely worth a visit if you are looking for. Quick bite to eat and a nice glass...

I found the Espresso Cafe in the arcade I was browsing. It was perfect for people watching as I was having brunch on my own. Warmly greeted by chatty, attentive staff. Flat white was excellent and the Eggs Benedict was very good to. Would recommend...

when i visit Leeds my sisters always want to meet here for coffee..WHY? the Americano is always cold,,,small cups..once you add the cold milk ..its stone cold..cups are too small..i always leave mine...staff are really surly as well..far better coffee shops in leeds than here..

Nothing to complain about, clean, warm, available staff, good coffee. Not too expensive. Well worth the visit.

This pavement style café is located undercover in the stunning Victorian arcade. We visited on a really cold day in February but the heaters kept us warm. Service was fast and efficient on what was a busy shopping day in Leeds. We had scones and...

Excellent food nice and warm from the heaters. Lovely friendly staff. Would recommend the afternoon tea just the right amount of food and unlimited tea

We visited last week for a coffee and hot chocolate. Fantastic service, friendly staff and tasty beverages. Love sitting here and taking in the surroundings and history of the Victorian quarter and love how warm and cosy it is with the heaters above the tables.

Visited two weeks ago for a light yet stunning lunch. I had the amazing soup of the day was just fab. Delicious parsnip & apple salad. What a wonderful staff always attentive and kind. Can’t wait to be back!

I had booked afternoon tea in advance, without realising that this bar is not part of the main shop but in a covered arcade outside, so it was noisy and busy and not the relaxing experience we had hoped for.

Quick espresso and mini cake treat, superb service as always. Just a little query though, why the large cups for espresso, prefer the correct type! Very friendly staff .

I regularly visit the espresso bar when visiting Leeds (usually at least a couple of times a month) always to have a glass of prosecco and a jam and cream scone - the prosecco is always chilled to perfection and the scone is delicious and...

We called into here for cocktails and nibbles and we found the staff polite and friendly. Did have to wait for the drinks but cocktails do take time to make so was willing to wait. Overall would return.

We were in Leeds for a short shopping trip and wanted a tasty lunch without sitting in a stuffy noisy restaurant. What an excellent choice we made at the Harvey Nichols Espresso Bar in the arcade. We were looked after superbly by a young waitress...

why we didn't appreciate the open plan..where passers-by can walk by and take a look at you as a bit of a snobish magnetic..there also something enticing about it

Enjoyed a light lunch with champagne at the Espresso Bar. Service was good and the food was tasty and well presented. It never disappoints.

I have visited previously for drinks and decided to treat myself to a glass of prosecco after a busy shopping day. My order was taken however after a very long wait I decided to leave. My prosecco nowhere to be seen. There were only 4...

I ate here mid afternoon on a weekday, not busy, so no excuse from the kitchen. A Caesar salad promising "crisp anchovies" was an expensive bowl (at £8) of dressed lettuce with terrible soft anchovies which tasted as if they had been cooked that morning....

I just phoned Leeds Harvey Nichols cafe/bar telephone number (their eateries appear to share same number) to see if I could book a gluten free afternoon tea for tomorrow (> 24 hours away). I was told that this would be possible but 2 to 3...

Based 'in the street' in the Victoria Arcade, next to the shop, and serviced from there. Staff always polite and efficient, product always good. Still the only place in Leeds to give me a glass of water with my espresso! Look at the modern glass...

Nice setting, nice food and nice drinks apart from; Warm larger and they didn't have the food I'd ordered. Serving warm larger in a warm glass is not cool! If you get it out of the fridge and it's not chilled dig to the back...

Love visiting the Espresso Bar - always such friendly and efficient service. Whether you want a coffee and cake, or a main meal and cocktail, you will not be disappointed. My favourite is a scone and pot of tea!

This is a very attractive café style eatery, where you eat under the arched glass roof of the arcades. We had a very well cooked and presented brunch of sandwiches and eg Florentine. Service could not be bettered, and considering the shop name the price...

6 of us went to see "Romeo and Juliet" screening to celebrate a friend's 40th. The three course meal was delicious, with first rate cooking and ingredients, and the screening was excellent sound and quality. Staff were brilliant, especially Sarah, and the whole evening was...

A perfect stop off for a small snack. There is a wide range of choices, and the atmosphere is very good. Quite pricey, but worth it, as you can order what you want on the menu and the waiters are happy to oblige.
