House of Koko in Leeds - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Finally arrived here for brunch, on a weekday, because it's such a popular place of a Saturday morning. It was still busy but we were able to get a table. Having enjoyed a very tasty filling meal and a good coffee it's easy to see why this place is always popular.

Good food and friendly service.

Loved our food, service was great! Try the beetroot latte!! 😊👍

While I live close to this branch of House of Koko, on Harrogate Rd, I actually prefer the Oakwood branch, by quite a margin. I do still dine here occasionally though, most recently having the vegan pancakes with vegan 'bacon', and maple syrup. I enjoyed it. Still a bit unclear if they have a service charge or not, I've been told different things at different times. So why do I prefer the other branch? It's friendlier, less snobby, the service is better, there's a bit more space, and I prefer the clientele, frankly.

Service was perfect. Food and coffee were good.

Liked it a lot but need to go a few more times and try other things before reviewing as 5 star. Recommended for sure.

Lovely breakfast. Highly recommend the Turkish eggs!

House of KoKo is one of my favourite places to get a great cup of coffee or breakfast with the fam on a weekend. I personally lurrvve the pancakes but their entire menu is fab.

Great space and even better as a pop up!

Always awesome food, very friendly atmosphere. Coffee is really amazing. One of our fave cafés in Leeds.

Food was good but it took 45mins for our food to come.

Busy bustling place for brunch. Tasty food, reasonably priced and good service, what's not to like!

Lovely food and friendly staff. However, until the door is fixed I wouldn’t want to visit again. So draughty and every time someone came in the door didn’t close, blew open again. It really spoiled our experience.

An absolutely incredible breakfast. Matched by great coffee - definitely worth a visit!

We came here for breakfast to celebrate our anniversary. Great atmosphere, helpful staff and brilliant coffee. I really enjoyed decaf flat white and special juice including ginger, mint, apple etc❤️‍🔥 Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed my time at House of Koko - it’s a nice, simple and cosy spot for anyone who wants well made coffee and tasty breakfast / brunch.

The staff are warm and welcoming. When it's not too busy, it's a lovely atmosphere. The breakfast pancakes are to die for, excellent coffee!

Perfect ‘Benny’ and lovely staff

Very good food, coffee and service, and dog friendly too!

Best breakfast in Leeds, hands down! Get the Bacon Bennie and hash browns 🤝

Trying to be a modern bistro but didn't really work for me..mainly eggs Benedict on the menu. I ordered eggs on toast which were over cooked and had a strong taste of vinegar. Also they add a service charge on to the bill. I wouldn't go back. Update. I don't mind getting a defence response to a review, but I do object to an offensive response. Apparently I should have done a lot of things different. The response has just as much vinegar in it as my eggs

Great place to relax and eat. The food is amazing well worth a visit . Been a few times now and tried different things and i have to say you know when your eating quality food . grest staff too.

Lovely owner and wonderful staff. Only rivalled by the delicious coffee ☕

Always an excellent and friendly experience! My go to coffee locally, but the food is also brilliant- whether you want sweet bakery items or a good breakfast or lunch. The pancakes are my favourite!!

We visited house of koko to order two coffees to go, we were asked to wait outside even though there was ample space inside out of the way of dining customers. No explanation was given as to why we had to either. We then had to wait for our two coffees outside in the cold for some time. When the coffees arrived we wanted sugar and again was told to wait outside while this was brought outside to us and not bring it in once finished with. Sorry to say we’re disappointed with our visit.

Recently popped in with a friend for brunch, food was excellent - ambiance as well. Staff was attentive despite how busy they were, especially the owner Rosita who made effort to seat us as quickly as possible. Thankyou House of Koko x

Great, lively atmosphere in this busy cafe. Friendly staff. Very interesting menu. Excellent coffee. Batata Hara with merguez ( Lebanese potatoes etc with lamb sausage and fried egg ) was really tasty - excellent. Also the pancakes with banana, bacon and maple syrup were excellent. Not a cheap breakfast but excellent.

Called in for coffee and cake for the first time today and weren’t disappointed. Great atmosphere, delicious cake and the most beautiful, friendly ginger cat who came to join us. We definitely will be back!!

Best place for brunch in Chapel A and maybe even Leeds

First time today with my daughter. I must say the food truly exceeded my expectation. It was very busy at the time and we were told to wait outside with the outdoor heating on. We were given a table inside fairly quickly. Not many cafes would do Turkish eggs and I’ve tried this at 3 different cafes and by far House of Koko is by far the best. The bread came with it was thick and fluffy. We’ll definitely be back again!

We recently heard House of Koko were doing private hire in an evening just as we had been looking for a venue for a 40th party As one of our favourite haunts in Leeds and best brunch spot, we knew it was a great, cosy space, and with most of us living in North Leeds, it is a perfect location The space is perfect for a party, we had around 50 and felt nice and full with a great atmosphere. Was intimate and cosy, plus great having the outdoor terrace as a space as well Rosita and the team were brilliant as well, couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming. Rosita even set us up with a sound guy for full DJ rig and lights, which was dropped off and picked up by the venue, which made everything so much easier We'll be back for our usual brunches as ever, but think this will also be the first of many parties to come. Can't recommend it highly enough!

Arriving on my own with a couple of tables free, I was asked instead to sit at a stool with a narrow shelf facing the wall. Ordered a coffee and was given a menu, but in 25 minutes there nobody came to take my food order. Paid for coffee and the waitress was somewhat apologetic, but I could see her and the colleague who had seated me pointing to where I'd been and laughing about me as I left. You made me feel worse than unwelcome; you made me feel worthless.

We recently found out it was available for private hire in an evening which was opportune timing as we had been looking for a venue for a 40th party. A load of us live in North Leeds now so was perfect, saves the chew on of us all getting taxi's in and out of town.

Really love this place. The brunch dishes, the service and playlist are always banging! Love their coffees & cocktails too

Can't recommend this place highly enough! We hired House of Koko out as a venue for a 40th birthday do, great venue and Rosita and the team we're first class from start to finish. Highly recommend if you're looking for a venue away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, will definitely be booking again!

We hired House of Koko for a private event and everything with perfect. The staff are amazing and so helpful and the venue was perfect size for a private party. We will definitely be back for any future parties and recommending to all our friends too 🤩🤩

Lovely food spot with great coffee! Good menu with a variety of options! The cakes are delicious. Would recommend this place!

Just had a superb brunch with my daughter today at House of Koko. I’m disabled but it is no problem accessing kokos’s. It’s pancake day today so we had pancakes. We were spoilt for choice. They were absolutely amazing. Sorry it’s only once a year. First rate service, friendly hands on owner. Thank you Koko’s.

Incredible atmosphere, outstanding food and great customer service. The people of Yorkshire and visitors to Yorkshire need to visit this venue! The Tight Yorkshireman

Cant comment on the food but me, my partner and a friend passed by the Chapel Allerton site to grab some drinks to take away the other week and honestly i think this was the worst iced coffee I’ve ever received. How can you make an iced caramel latte taste that bad? I wouldn’t have been fussed if it wasn't £4.50, the sixe of my pinkie, and actually tasted like coffee but it genuinely seemed like the barista had forgotten to add the coffee and caramel in. Not only was is the worst coffee ive ever had but we were literally sat waiting for 3 drinks for atleast 30 mins . Again, wouldnt have minded if it was worth the wait but. It really wasnt… such a shame because i wanted to like this place.

Good food, friendly staff. I would recommend and i'll be back.

Nice coffee spot, super friendly staff and does really good brunchy food. Definitely worth a visit 👌

Great local spot in North Leeds for Coffee, brunch and more.

Really delicious food and great atmosphere. Staff were lovely and fast even though it was really busy

Awful experience. Cat inside the cafe, jumping on to my lap several times!! I did not realise I was at Kitty Cafe! Staff saw the cat and clearly know him/her or are the owners. Staff rude and unapologetic. I’ve been here once before had a different kind of poor experience but put it down to a one off. Clearly isn’t!

Service - Staff were lovely, attentive and helpful as always. Atmosphere - As typical for brunch locations on the outskirts of town, it's gentrification nation. Food - When comparing the food offering at House of Koko pre-Covid and post-covid it is night and day. Expecting all restaurants and eateries to overcome financial hardships and not to scrimp on quality ingredients is unrealistic so I will not and neither should you. Soup of the day, roasted fennel - This was the star of the order. So tasty and so fresh, no complaints. Hash browns - Freshly fried and satisfying, perfectly reminiscent of McDonald's hash browns. To me this is good. Salmon and eggs benedict - Arguably the trademark of House of Koko and the emblem of brunch itself and it fell flat. Perhaps this had been sitting waiting to be brought to the table, the hollandaise was bland and thin, the bread underneath had started to turn cold and soggy. Not great. Bacon and eggs benedict - All the preamble as above, somehow the sauce portion had been halved and the bacon was thin and dried. There's a thin line between crispy bacon and dry bacon. Dirty chai - Cold and a little bland Latte - Fine Rhubarb tea - nice, fresh and refreshing! Total - £50 Worth it? - As an admitted harsh critic not for me. However I know many people that return to House of Koko time upon time and have a fantastic experience, perhaps I received the short straw on the day, admittedly the place was totally packed and all staff were rushed off their feet working at peak brunch time on a Sunday it doesn't get much busier than that!

Having visited from overseas, this place was a treat. Staff went above and beyond. Food was well presented, imaginative and tasty. Will definitely be back!

First visit here. Very impressed with the cleanliness and the lovely staff. Food was great and reasonably priced. Only place I’ve been that wouldn’t accept a tip! It was pointed out that the service charge was already on the bill. Would unhesitatingly recommend this place.

Amazing experience. Food was beautiful and so tasty. Excellent coffee and staff were wonderfully friendly and attentive… all this and reasonably priced. 10/10

Lovely food for the price, tasted really nice. Service was lovely. It was a small place so had to wait a bit for seats and it was a bit crowded.

We absolutely love this place! The food and the service is impeccable with a really cool and chilled out ambience. I would advise getting here early to avoid disappointment and you may have to wait for a table at peak times. Great work team House of Koko 👏🏻

Nice little café in the lower part of Chapel Allerton near Lidl. Good menu with plenty of choice including vegetarian options. Pleasant staff.

Amazing latte. Lovely roast beans. It was that nice I had two. I am a bit of a coffee snob. Food was lovely too. Staff are polite and very helpful. We most definitely will be back. Well worth the drive. Well done guys.

So disappointed about this place. Place it self looked tired and looked like it could do with a good steam clean, Only popped in for a coffee, so glad I didn't eat there. Watched other tables complaining about their dishes. My coffee was not hot, mentioned it to staff and i got an 'attitude' stare glare. I'll know for next time. So many better coffee shops close by.

Sadly have to say that we had a terrible experience here. Hair in a meal(pubic). Little apology. We were too polite. Bill reduced by a couple of quid. We should have reported to Leeds City Council. Horrible place.

We went to the one at Oakwood which as recently opened. First visit after a recommend. A charming man called Paul served us. A very unusual menu but we wanted to give it a try. The upper deck is more cosy.The place its self is very laid back and casual. I had the Turkish eggs,Carol had the streaky bacon Bennie. No complaints ,on reflection I should have asked for extra toast,I will know next time. Carols was fine and enough for her. We will certainly go back and would recommend it to friends. Steve Pierce

Tasty food and good service in a nice looking and dog friendly cafe.

Good food with an array of options but small portion sizes that aren’t really as described on the menu, which is a shame as we heard a lot of hype about this place. Would try again, but in no rush as plenty of spots in the city. Service also wasn’t great… felt quite hostile and unwelcoming.

The food is excellent! I love that it isn't the usual typical brunch options and that most of them are veggie! It is rare that I struggle to decide on what to go for from a menu, so I can't wait to return to try more :)

Went with a friend ordered the below 3 pancakes Nutella and extra banana Turkish eggs Has brown and hollandaise sauce Iced vanilla latte Peach iced tea Diet coke. Total was £36 It seems really expensive for a really strange menu, Turkish breakfast items then sides of vegan meats etc. Just a really strange mix labelled 'brunch'. Waited a while to be served and then ordered the £7 pancakes with Nutella and £2 extra for banana aswell then it came with maple syrup. Then they gave me Nutella and charged for it aswell? Just seems noone really cared. Such a shame as the actual location is great. Not as good as previous visits.

Excellent cafe. Refreshing change from a classic cafe brunch menu. Coffee and cakes are brilliant!! Oakwood and Chapel Allerton locations are worth a visit.

Amazing atmosphere, great staff outstanding coffee.

Love this place. Been coming here for quite a few years and it's always been a most enjoyable experience.

By Far the best place for breakfast in Chapel Allerton. The menu is unbelievable and presentation is stunning. The service is spot on. Cannot tell you how much I love this place.

Absolutely delicious soup of the day with THE best cheese toastie. Mizo and noodle soup…thought I’d go for something different, it did not disappoint. We ate at Oakwood Koko, how have I lived in Leeds so long and never eaten here!

100 percent the best place for brunch in the area and I’d actually say the best place in Leeds. Great presentation and each meal is bursting with flavour. I cannot recommend enough. Hats off to the chef and all the friendly team there.

Great food, Excellent coffee and the atmosphere makes you feel right at home! Can easily say one of my favorite places 🍻

Cracking little brunch spot, well worth the taxi journey out of town for... Staff are super friendly and polite, food is very well executed and generous in portions. Highly recommend!

This place is stunning, it all starts when u walk in, what an amazing venue. I will be coming back again and again. Keep it up guys !!!

Absolutely love House of Koko!! Food is consistently amazing and adventurous. Staff are wonderful. Highly recommend! :)

Always drop in here when in the area. Love the food... and the Sicilian Cannoli are great. Great independent Café with cool atmosphere 👌 😎

The best brunch in Leeds, fabulous food, staff and prices. What is not to love.

Very warm welcome from the staff, made us feel very welcome. Food, drinks, service & atmosphere was 10/10. Never had Turkish Eggs before & it really hit the stop with a side of Grilled Halloumi 😍 Would defo recommend & will be back again for sure!!

My favourite brunch spot ! The menu is really creative, owner is lovely and really passionate about creating a great experience, nice vibe, top service and good quality food.

Went in on a recommendation from a friend and I am so glad i did. Rosita was a ball of energy and gave us some fantastic advice on what to try when we told her what we liked. Will defiantly be back!

I came across the little gem when visiting from London, the staff where super friendly and the food was delicious! Gorgeous little cafe If you are in the area this is a must visit.

Lovely place for brunch! Coffee is the best!

So needed a good scran.... wanted to be spoilt.... so koko it was! Amazing new menu and staff were brilliant! Definitely be recommending this to my pals!

I came for the first time expecting some good food and good tea. This wasn’t the case…. Because it was so good. The flavour of the soup(Tomato and basil); it had so much depth with the tangibles ans the sweetness and the cheese toss it’s had a lovely crunchy along with the silkiness of the cheese. Great staff would recommend

My son and I had a fantastic lunch here. The menu is very different and so inviting that I struggled to decide what to eat. I opted for the Bubble & Squeak which was inventive and tasty. I loved the crispy onion Bhaji which was a perfect accompaniment to the potato cake and poached egg. Fabulous contrasting flavours and textures which really complimented one another. The homemade lemon and ginger iced tea was the perfect partner to my meal as it was both refreshing and cleansing. To top this off the front of house staff were super friendly and helpful creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be back again and again. Thank you House of Koko.

Great Brunch, Amazing coffee and cakes! Always just what we need.

Went for brunch with my friend, really nice coffee and cake selection, food and sides were amazing and had a great time, staff super friendly! Can’t wait to go back

One of the best spots for a coffee in Leeds and top of the list when in Chapel A. Great food, tasty coffee and cool atmosphere.

What a fantastic place. Great service everything I had was perfect. I can’t recommend it enough.

Lovely place for brunch. Great staff and lovely vibe - highly recommend:)

High quality food with a cool cafe feel. Highly Recommended.

The food, setting and staff never fail here. Get down there for taste bud delights

Best place for brunch in Chapel A! Amazing vegan options and great coffee.

Amazing food and service once again. This time I had the brioche bacon butty and loaded hash browns. It was lovely, the bacon was nice and crispy and the coffee is always good.

My recent experience at house of Koko left me so impressed with the quality of their food and choices. There’s something for everyone. The presentation of the meals were also impressive …I love it when my food tastes as good as it looks. Excellent staff very friendly and welcoming. 10/10 we will be back

It's a bit of a trek for me to get to, but it's consistently worth it in Aces! Absolutely love their pancakes - the cake range full-stop is incredible - but it's the mains where they truly dominate. World cuisine brought to Chapel A, what's not to love?! Staff always seem dead friendly, and the place is lovely - get down & get fed!

Had brunch here for the first time, what can I say absolutely loved every second of my visit. The food is unreal, seriously if you’ve not been here before you really need to.

Amazing place.... highly recommended

Amazing food and service . The hash browns come highly recommended

We arrived with my friend, hoping for a nice lunch break. The place was busy and loud (music + people), so we sat outside. We have ordered coffees( with oats milk, but the one we received was with dairy milk), soup and mains. The day's soup was served together with mains, and we struggled with space as the tables were super small. Before we finished with soup (tomato with basil 5 out of 10), the second dish was completely cold, so it's hard to say if it was good 😔 Overall, the place has potential, but the staff needs some training on serving food. On a positive note, it's dogs friendly 👍

Service was good - warm and friendly but my food was not good. It was over salted and the lamb sausage was very over cooked. Very disappointed given that it looks so promising from the presentation and menu.

The food was incredible, but the staff were the highlight of my experience eating here. Cannot recommend enough!

Updated to 1 star: based on such a snotty response from the owner you can tell what kind of an establishment this is😂 Carry on love, just because I don’t like your 150ml cups doesn’t mean I go to Greg’s LOL what a trashy response, grow up. Other cafes actually have the decency to provide 200ml at this price point. Expensive coffee in tiny cups for takeaway

This busy, delightful restaurant was recommended to me by Leeds Food Tours. I went with my daughter and we both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I had difficulty in choosing what to order as everything on the menu looked so good. Different and well balanced dishes and friendly staff.

Really enjoyed having brunch here! We arrived and it was really busy and there wasn’t space for our fairly large group inside but they moved us in as quickly as possible. The food was delicious and I can’t wait to go back and try some other items from the menu. Staff were really friendly and the decor was super cute inside. Would defo recommend!
