IF Call Lane in Leeds

The food was superb and the staff were very friendly and attentive. An overall great experience and would highly recommend.

We tried to go here for lunch on a Monday afternoon. We stood by the sign outside where it said to wait but were completely ignored by the waitress who came outside to serve another table/clear tables. We stepped inside to be told by this same waitress to wait outside (completely fine), we did so. She continued clearing tables (at a very glacial pace), speaking to other customers, making drinks behind the bar etc whilst we stood there. We ended up leaving as no one came to speak to us. Staff massively need to improve their attentiveness, it was a quiet Monday lunch time and this was completely avoidable.

Very nice food however they forgot one of our vegetarian bacon and sausages but they voided the check and gave us free coffees. Very nice customer service and workers were very nice. Music choice was very good too!!

Great bottomless brunch offering, selected cocktail included - espresso martinis are top notch! Alex on the bar was on it and was very accommodating & friendly. The bar had good vibes and music - perfect for a Saturday bottomless brunch!

Fantastic breakfast and would have got 5 stars but they don’t accept cash. I would strongly urge the management to reverse this policy. They will lose custom because of it. I haven’t actually returned since, which is a shame as it’s a lovely spot, food was great and service was friendly and attentive.

Just been in for a lovely coffee and cake, the service was fantastic from Josh and James. Really friendly and although it was busy they were attentive and I never felt rushed

Prosecco was constantly topped up and cocktails as we wanted! Lovely burritos and great service. Great bottomless brunch. Only thing I’ll point out for others that aren’t local is that our table was over the road at the IF…at night bar and not the cafe which we went to first but it wasn’t an issue.

Very long overdue review but my friends and I went for a bottomless brunch at ‘IF at night’ the weekend before Christmas. I’ve never had so much fun before. The staff did everything to make us welcome and feel like that day was for us, bringing us shots on arrival (baby guinness was our choice). And then when we were suitably giddy they blasted the christmas music. It was such a happy day. Thank you, I really needed it that day :) just realised i didn’t get a photo of my food but i had the vegan burrito and it was WOW

We all had a fabulous time. Had a bit of a hiccup initially with finding our booking, but the lovely staff couldn’t do enough for us. The food was great and the drinks were topped up promptly. Lovely attentive staff. Will definitely be coming here again!! Thanks guys!!

Popped in on a Thursday morning at 10:30. Sign to wait by the door to be seated. Staff taking orders and serving drinks but were ignored at the door for over 15 minutes. There was a menu at the door so once we were finally seated we had already decided what to eat. Waitress took our order promptly for food and drink. We then however had to wait over 20 minutes to receive our drinks. Once the drinks were served to us we got an apology and the food came after. We tried to order the Rueben which they were out of so we decided to share the pancakes. By this point we wanted to order another drink each but no waitress ever came back. Pancakes however were very good. 9/10 Bottom pancake slighlty overcooked but flavours were excellent and well balanced. Ended up paying at the till so we could leave because no one came over to collect plate / check up / order more drinks or bill. Food 9/10 Service 3/10

IF... Up North is a great local business in Leeds. They have gone from having a few tables at their Call Lane outlet to adding many tables outside and upstairs as well and opening more outlets in York Place with in-house baking, and a small coffeehouse on the corner of Leeds Kirkgate Market next to Vicar Lane. The food deserves the popularity that is normally seen at this place. The ingredients used in the food are of high quality, making the dishes delicious. Their wild mushrooms and sourdough bread dish is really good and the eggs are always cooked well. The cakes and baked items are lovely too. The staff were also very friendly. I think that the design of the Call Lane outlet is fantastic with its woody look, swirling stairs and copy of Rudyard Kipling's poem 'If'.

Opening times state 8am, walked in at 8:45am, staff greeted me with ‘we’re about 15 mins from opening’ store looked ready for opening but staff stood talking. I ended up getting a coffee from another establishment who invited me in despite opening hours not being until 9:30am. Poor first impression from if….won’t be rushing back.

Cute and cosy little find! Delicious selection of fresh baked cakes which looked divine. Great selection of veggie/vegan options. Staff friendly and helpful. Pancakes were so scrumptious - a very large portion so be warned. Good selection of drinks but not piping hot when served! There was around a 15-20 min queue but well worth the wait!

This little cafe in Call Lane is well a worth a visit for brunch. The coffee was lovely and a good start to brunch. We had pancakes with blueberry compote and peanut butter and a breakfast burrito off the menu. They were delicious and good value. Staff were really welcoming, friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend.

Went with a friend for a post workout brunch inbetween Christmas and New Year. Service was really good, I had the eggs benny and he had the full breakfast. Poached eggs were cooked perfectly and my friend really enjoyed his breakfast. Reasonably priced too.

Wraps amazing, kinda remind me of Hongkong local sandwich, with scramble egg and scallions The Benedict is fine, breakfast is okay. Like the bacon

Three of us stopped past for breakfast on Sunday morning and couldn't have had a lovelier experience. The tables are nicely placed; the atmosphere is calm and happy; and the staff were welcoming, attentive and friendly. My coffee was *beautifully* made, and the pancakes (which the kitchen happily adapted to our various requirements) were the best I have had in a very long time. The meal set us up very nicely for our pottery workshop just over the river. I won't hesitate to go back or to recommend going to anyone else.

Great food and amazing coffee. For me is more of a coffee place that a place suitable for breakfast.

Lovely little cosy coffee shop. Can get very busy and I know why. I ordered a veggie breakfast and it was the best brekky I have ever had! Cooked well and tasted fantastic. Staff were all really friendly. Just a nice place to go, eat...

Came here on the first morning of our trip to Leeds. So good, we came back the following morning too! Friendly and professional staff. Lovely cappuccino and latte. Nice poached eggs & avocado on sourdough and tasty filling pancakes.

Lovely food, great atmosphere for a cafe', really enjoyed my time. The staff were lovely, I was served by Lulu. She was super friendly and made our experience! She was great, I will be back for sure!

Always get amazing food, coffee and service from Izzy! Fantastic staff and friendly environment! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Visited with my friend after being recommended but was left totally embarrassed by this choice in cafe. Poor service, poor quality breakfasts…not what you would expect for £11 each for a breakfast, bacon and sausage undercooked and only one small piece of toast. No condiments...

Visited after being recommended and it didn’t live up to its expectations. Cooked breakfast is totally overpriced and poor quality. Bacon hardly cooked, one tiny piece of toast, mushrooms boiled and tasteless. Coffees tiny and lukewarm. When they are charging a premium price they should...

Very slow! Took well over an hour for two “hot” drinks n two brunch meals… cappuccino was barely warm so asked for another and the second wasn’t any better.. we were seated outside and could see through the window the lady making the coffees had...

Amazing brunch. Great menu, hard to choose. Both dishes were well presented and very tasty. Service was very friendly and quick. Easy to see why it's so popular

Great brunch with added benefit of outdoor seating. Excellent variety of options. Pancakes were a particular favourite. Tasty coffee. Generous portions, the Yorkshire breakfast beat me!

Fast, friendly service combined with an excellent taste in coffee and fresh food. This just became my new breakfast spot.

Super friendly service, delicious thick and fluffy pancakes with lashings of maple syrup and perfectly cooked bacon. Breakfast burrito was also a hit - outdoor seating available too! Hidden gem.

Well worth the walk. Good coffee and choice of cakes, sandwiches and other goodies. Friendly and efficient service. Don’t be put off by the roadworks - it’s worth the trip.

Came here with a friend for a brunch. Felt very safe and COVID friendly, staff were super nice and accommodating and food and coffee was excellent! Will definitely be coming back

I had visited this place for a coffee about 6 years ago and I remembered it was a bit naff however seeing recent Instagram posts it seemed it had been revamped so wanted to give it a another try. So glad we did as it...
