La Bottega Milanese in Leeds - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Average coffee and food. Not too sure what the buzz is about and why it’s always so busy. Staff seem nice though and location is good

First and foremost the coffee here is excellent. The authentic looking lunch offering looked appetising but was ultimately disappointing. The interior is quite dark and to go with it there was quite loud club style music on when we entered at around 11.30am. It wasn't too in your face and they turned it down quite soon but for me inappropriate at that time of day in this environment. On a warmer day I would sit outside where there is a fair amount of seating available in an area with no traffic.

Really popular and busy cafe with a lot of good italian food. We went for a sunday lunch and got good food and coffee. Worth a visit

One of the best Croissant ( custard, chocolate and almond) i’ve ever had👌. The variety of Cannolis is amazing: unbelievably tasty. Outstanding coffee and service. To recommend absolutely 👍

Normally our favourite place for lunch. My wife had a gift voucher for her birthday which we presented at the till. The assistant checked with the owner as it wouldn't accept it. They said it could only be used online and therefore was invalid. There was no mention at all of this on the voucher (it says it on line, but of course as it was a gift, and it didn't have any stipulation on it, we did not check this beforehand. Very poor customer service (not from the staff there I hasten to add, they couldn't be more apologetic) We won't be going again in a hurry on principle. None of it makes sense, they've had the money anyway so what's the difference??? Surely common sense /goodwill from thd owners should have prevailed in the circumstances?

Lovely little coffee spot! I was staying at a nearby hotel and passed this on my way to a training conference so popped in for a take away flat white and it was one of the best coffees I’ve had! The team in there was also incredibly kind and recommended a great pastry to go with the coffee - I just wish I could remember the name of it!!

what a find whilst staying nearby! We had coffee and lunch here and then went back for breakfast too! Good vibe, great selection of food, amazing coffee!!

My partner and I have frequently visited La Bottega over the last few years and have always enjoy the coffee which is consistently excellent. Staff are always friendly and helpful, and the system is easy to understand as a newcomer and seems to work well. There is plenty of seating inside and out, and seems like a popular place to go for a wide range people. They offer a great range of sandwiches on different Italian breads (focaccia, ciabatta, flatbread) which are perfect for a light lunch. On this occasion we both had a toasted Piadina Cotto (ham and cheese flatbread) which is just what we fancied and was the ideal bite to eat we were looking for. If you’re looking for something sweet to go with your coffee, options such as brownies, Pasta de natas, croissants, and a variety of pasticcini are available. We often go for a selection of pasticcini as they are an ideal choice if you just was a little something sweet. Overall, if you’re in Leeds and in need of a quality coffee and/or a bite for lunch this is a great option and has consistently delivered every time we have visited.

It continues to be one of the best independent coffee shops in Leeds. The people are lovely and at a location that just cannot be beaten, especially on a sunny day if you opt for one of the tables outside in Bond Court - it’s easy to feel like you’re on a continental holiday. As you’d expect the coffee is top notch with a range of other food treats to tempt you. Definitely a go-to place whether it’s to grab a coffee or meet up.

The staff here are absolutely brilliant, so charming and helpful! Their coffee is so tasty and they were great with our party’s dietary requirements! They also have a delectable selection of cakes and sweet things which went down an absolute treat in our meeting!! Cannot recommend enough!!

Came here to work (and also to purchase several rounds of food and beverages). Left because of an incredibly rude staff member. The coffee was great, my partner was at the till buying more coffees and food when a staff member suddenly came up and aggressively said "You'll have to move, you can't take up a full table on a Saturday!!". Terrible way to treat paying customers. Can only assume that I was mistakenly assumed to be a student? Not a chance I'd have been spoken to so rudely and aggressively if I was a man, sat there in a nice business suit, working on a laptop. I can absolutely appreciate the need for tables. Of course I'd be happy to make space. But it's not hard to say "Is it okay if you move up a little so we can fit these people in? Thanks". Went the till where my partner was paying, left immediately. Won't go there again. Shame.

We can’t believe the good reviews that have been written about this place. Shocking customer service and a luke warm (i did ask for it extra hot) cappuccino that tasted more like a cup of milk with a hint of coffee. That bad I had to leave it! The aragostine was nice, but that was about it. If you want a nice coffee and food, and friendly service head to ‘If’ on Call Lane.

Best flat white in Leeds. It’s the perfect cup and worth the travel and the city parking prices just for one of their coffees. Bravo.

Great coffee, Great service,Great atmosphere,Great location. Amazing selection of deserts. Always packed out.

A smart place and both the drinks and the sandwiches were first class. It reminded me of a cafe we liked when we lived in Italy- so I think they have fulfilled their mission of creating an authentic Italian experience.

This café is located a few minutes walk from Leeds Art Gallery. I quite liked the decoration, exposed brick painted in white along with light bulbs and wood that gives it an industrial look. It has a terrace outside the front door. The coffee is good, it is intense, like Italian coffee.

I came across this gem in an independent coffee shop book that my friend gave me for my birthday and I knew I needed to give it a go. I have NEVER HAD such smooth coffee and the cakes are also to die for🤤

I love La Bottega Milanese, I have done for a long time. The coffee is awesome and food is delicious! When my job moved to York it was one of the things I missed most about not being based in Leeds anymore but I have made a point of visiting Bond Court or The Light when I'm in town. Today reminded me why I love it so much here. It was my first trip into town since my little boy was born in February, I was pretty apprehensive about coming in but needed to do some life admin. Life admin complete I decided to treat myself to lunch with pram (and baby) in tow, a little bit of normal in the chaos. I was nervous about taking the pram in and creating an obstacle for people to navigate around and was nervous about the possibility of my little boy screaming the place down, it was our first time eating out solo. That nervousness just disappeared when we were both greeted with warm smiles and big hellos from the team. Given that we haven't been out much since he was born it's the most fuss he's had over him and he seemed chuffed to bits with all the attention 😊 Thank you so much for making us feel so welcome, I should have known not to worry but as the months have gone on the worry about doing normal things with him has increased. You really did make my day and I can't wait to come back, grazie mille! X

I've been to this coffee shop a few times now and it's consistently a lovely treat. The coffee is made to perfection and really tasty, you can tell the baristas know their stuff. Last time I went, I had a flatbread sandwich from there and...

I spent just over £6 in this cafe, when I asked for tap water, the member of staff replied saying "we don't have tap water, you can buy water from our fridge." I replied saying, "is the water from the tap (pointed at the sink...

A beautiful and comfortable atmosphere. The coffee is so good. Chai latte is also one of my favorite drinks. Go there on a sunny day, and enjoy it so much! Would love to swing by every day!

Superb coffee, every time! Best in Leeds! A hidden little gem behind the big HSBC on Park Row. Always a nice vibe. Great baristas. Proper coffee. Consistently good regardless of server. And great sandwiches and pastries if you’re hungry.

I far preferred this to their other cafe in The Light. It is tucked away in a small square about 10 minutes walk from the city centre (Briggate). The benefit being that it wasn't busy. It has a great unhurried vibe, and there was a...

This cafe is buzzing with atmosphere and has a fabulous selection of artisan coffee. Amazing cakes, all interesting - we had flat white and brownie with Lotus biscuit. Great choice of savoury food too but we were just doing sweet stuff today. 2 minutes off...

Stopped here en route to visit a friend. The women are lovely, warm and welcoming on arrival. Ordered a latte which was presented beautifully as well as tasted superb - good coffee beans used! Will be back.

Always call in here for a quality coffee when in Leeds. Perfect coffee pretty much every time. Coconut milk too. The brownies and cakes are delightful. Didn’t have any paninis or flatbreads today but have had on previous visits. They are great for lunch or...

I only had a coffee here, but collected some beautiful little pastries for a thank you gift. Very good coffee, service, and air conditioned. Lovely quiet spot too. Fab.

This is the best place to go to in Leeds for a cuppa coffee. Fantastic savoury snacks too. Very affordable.

Heard about this place through some friends and went to check it out on my way to rehearsals after hearing good things. Tucked away in Bond Court just off Park Row, La Bottega Milanese is something of a hidden gem in the middle of the...

Just stopped over for a couple of rounds of sourdough toasts (maybe time to adjust the grill as one toast was lovely and brown, the other barely toasted), soya lattes (+25p per cup for added soya milk), lovely ambiance with great soothing music on a...

When the weather’s good there’s plenty of seats outside though it is often full of smokers which is a real pain. Not a huge problem in winter, obviously. Pastries have been brilliant each time. Love the curd tarts. It’s a cool place to go and...

Lovely coffee in a very modern & stylish cafe! Delicious Italian desserts perfectly accompany your hot beverage.

I honestly can't recall if I've reviewed this place since it started - I used to go to Bottega years ago when the guys who owns it had a little unit on his own, in The Calls. After that, he got the place in The...

Lovely cafe on bond court, brownies are the best! Would recommend popping in for a coffee and a chat with the friendly staff

This coffee shop is fantastic. Tucked away behind Dakota Hotel, it is a little gem in Leeds city centre. The staff are wonderfully warm and friendly, the mini pastries are to die for, the hot food is homemade and delicious and coffee is truly the...

The coffee here is absolutely delicious, I’d happily predict that it’s the best you’ll find in Leeds! The staff are also really friendly and very efficient. It’s a somewhat trendy setting, with kind of rustic/industrial decor... the stools aren’t the comfiest, but it wasn’t really...

The first visit will engage you and as I am told by local friends soon this place will become a magnet for food or simply coffee and sweets for not just one but several visits

A colleague at work recommended this place for a quick business lunch. Really loved this place, as it has a cool vibe and feel. To be honest you feel like you’re in Italy when you visit here and not Leeds! I had a panini which...

Went to get a quick take away beverage and ordered a iced caffe latte. There were only two people working despite how busy it was and they were both rushed off their feet. It took 10 minutes for the drink to be made, with lots...

When the weather’s good there’s plenty of seats outside though it is often full of smokers which is a real pain. I like the look of how the Americano is served in the glass mini carafe but it strikes me as impractical as it cools...

This very trendy cafe appears to be very popular with office workers at lunchtime. We called in for a coffee around mid morning and managed to get a seat. The prices are not unreasonable it was £2.45 for a flat white and the quality was...

Getting a spot to sit is sometimes difficult...just shows how popular it is. Great coffee and pastries. Superb for quick catch up!

I have been in Leeds all week and amazingly the weather has been great 😎. After work I have looked for a cafe with outside seating where I can just relax for half an hour or so. My God the pastries are AMAZING - and...

Popped in here for a quick bite to eat. So glad we did! The service was fantastic. The food was absolutely amazing. The desserts looked out of this world but I was being a good girl. If I hadn't have been then I would have...

A good selection of cakes and pastries, they seem to vary day to day, but there's always items that tempt. Coffees are freshly ground and service is good. Sit in or outside if the weather permits. Cyclist friendly; they sponsor the local Alba Rosa Cycling...

Such good coffee. great selection of sandwiches. Had the Granola for breakfast which was very tasty.

Absolutely brilliant, coffee their oat milk flat white is exceptional. There are a lot of coffee shops in Leeds this is the best of them.

Love this place! Wonderful coffee and snacks with a great atmosphere in the city centre. Pleasant staff.

Over the past three to four years, I’ve called here when I’m in the area, the coffee I’d great the atmosphere is great and the food is great, there’s nothing more to say

If you want to enjoy good coffee and proper Italin snacks then this cafe is the perfect selection. With a good choice of warm dishes and good Italian wine to match or try an excellent coffee with a delicious cake or the crispy canolli's !

Lunch at La Bottega never disappoints, coffee and lasagne like being transported to Milan for a few minutes. Another must for anyone whilst in Leeds

Only went for a coffee. Not very busy but it seemed to take a long time for the 2 barristas to produce any drinks. They seemed more interested to chat to each other than the customers so this may have had something to do with...

I regularly pop into La Bottega during the week as it is just near where I work. The coffee is always fantastic and the food is second to none, moderately prized too and friendly service. By far my favourite place to go for lunchtime.

Staff are brilliant in here and the coffee is delicious, extremely high standard and It's served at drinking temperature. Best coffee in Leeds!

A perfect location and place for informal breakfast or lunch. As a non-coffee drinker I am sure to be missing out on the range of coffees, but the food and service is excellent. A great place to meet up or to spend some time alone...

Love this place. Proper coffee! Strong and dark. No faff. Great Italian treats too. Though i do love their peanut butter blondies. there Nutella espresso is a great pick me up too. 😉😉

Best Coffee in Leeds by a long mile. This place is always buzzing and the staff are a great & knowledgable bunch. Not only is the coffee top notch, the food is delicious too! I won't go for a coffee anywhere else!

I often come here for lunch they have a great selection of mostly Italian sandwiches e.g. Prosciutto, mozzarella etc. The coffee is great and so are the cakes on offer. I would recommend this as a great place for a quick lunch and coffee.
