Marks and Spencers in Leeds

Today I visited for the first time since before the March lockdown. The cafe was full to capacity with queuing out into the store. Surprisingly and disappointingly the table layout was the same as before Covid. No distancing. Staff were extremely busy and were doing their best. What was most surprising was the amount of mixed households. I know its difficult to police but it was obvious that many tables were mixed households. Two ladies ordered separately and paid separately but sat together on the same allocated table. Expected better from M & S.

Excelente té y bollos. Servicio súper rápido por dos amables empleados. Restaurante limpio con mesas limpias. Estacionamiento gratis.

Cómo M y S tienen la mejilla para pasar su té de la tarde para 2 como adecuado para dos personas está más allá de mí. Como miembro del sobrevalorado club premium M y S, me enviaron un regalo de cumpleaños, es decir, un cupón para un té para 2. Al llegar nos contaron una historia sobre un incendio en la panadería y no tenían bollos. Tenía entendido que los hornearon en las instalaciones y esta tienda tiene 2 cafés, entonces, ¿dónde estaba este incendio, pero en cualquier caso, qué les impide enviarlos desde otra tienda? En cualquier caso, lo que obtuvimos fueron 2 rebanadas de pastel y 4 cuartos de sándwich, lo que no es suficiente para 2 personas, por lo que tuvimos que comprar otro paquete de sándwiches. 4 cuartos solo hacen 1 sándwich, por lo que, según este enfoque de calidad M y S, la mitad de un sándwich pequeño es aparentemente suficiente para una persona. Esto está muy por debajo de mi idea de un regalo y no refleja imágenes en línea de cómo se supone que debe ser uno de estos tés de la tarde y, en mi opinión, M y S deberían desechar este regalo y simplemente enviar un cupón de 10 de descuento. Tampoco es adecuado para sus clientes diabéticos. Solo puedo decir que me alegro de que no fuera mi cumpleaños real, ya que habría sido un desastre aún mayor. M y S actúan juntos y eso incluye almacenar ropa más regular en lugar de ropa ajustada y ajustada que no son adecuadas para su base principal de clientes a menos que, por supuesto, el tamaño de sus porciones sea parte de un plan maestro para reducir el tamaño de sus clientes

Visited today & was disappointed to find there were no fruit scones out to buy in the cafe. We enquired whether any more were available & were told they had just come out of the oven & were too hot to be sold. The assistant then offered to go downstairs to get us some from the bakery department of the shop, which she proceeded to do. This was much appreciated & made our visit. Will visit again soon!

Llamamos para el almuerzo, a mitad de semana, la cafetería estaba razonablemente ocupada, cometimos el error de pedir pescado, patatas fritas y guisantes blandos en lugar del sándwich tostado habitual, que siempre es bueno. El rebozado de uno de los peces parecía quemado, al igual que los bordes de algunas de las astillas, el pescado era comestible, las astillas tenían una textura extraña, el interior era gomoso y otras eran duras, la porción de guisantes blandos era minúscula, como una cuchara de postre ¡completo! Repitió sobre mí durante unas horas después. ¡Supongo que estas comidas se calentaron en su horno rápido, quizás un poco demasiado rápido para el pescado y las papas fritas! No es barato y un menú bastante limitado. ¡Nos apegaremos a los sándwiches tostados en el futuro!

Good selection of sandwiches and cakes. Self service is quick and easy with plenty of places to sit. Price range is reasonable and the coffee good.

My elderly friend and I had a coffee together. I had a decaff black Americano and the barista put a double measure pod in for me because she asked me if I liked my coffee strong, I do. It’s unusual to be asked most people assume I want it weak because it’s decaff, no I just don’t want the caffeine!! My friend enjoyed her Americano with milk! Very impressed!!

Nice coffee. Lovely lemon drizzle cake. Prompt service. No delays (unlike John Lewis) just down the road and supporting Macmillan A good and relaxed experience 😀👍

We had been to the retail park at Birstall and decided to call at M&S cafe for lunch before heading home. What a waste of time. Ok, it was busy, but the place was full of staff, mostly procrastinating while the poor young girl behind the till was left to take orders and make hot drinks for a huge queue of people. At 12 o'clock two things we wanted weren't available on the hot food menu (which is fairly small) so we ended up having to get a sandwich to go with the hot drinks we'd already ordered, we could've just got one of those from the M&S shop downstairs and eaten it at home. We had already queued for 20 minutes though and our baby son was fraught by that time. The girl serving behind the counter was the same, thoroughly miserable. There were no teaspoons, I wasn't given any milk for my tea, the serving area behind the till was a complete state. Our table was eventually cleared so we could use it but it wasn't wiped. Sort it out M&S, too many chiefs and not enough Indians!

Now I'm reviewing this as a shop cafe, and as a place to go when you are out and about shopping and want a quick lunch or cake stop. I'm not reviewing this as a cafe to rival bistro, independent cafes. I came here whilst shopping at Birstall with my 4 year old. We had a successful trip to Ikea and wanted a small lunch for me and dinner for him. I had a cheese and mushroom toastie, and he had a microwave kids meal (£2.50) and piece of choc cake. Water was self serve and food came quickly. Comfortable booth type seats which was great as it made it easy for me to have my 4 month old in the push chair beside me. Sparks card gave me a coffee free. The cakes looked great but we're pricey. Nice treat though. A nice place to take a break and have a food shop afterwards.

I went to the Terrace Cafe for Afternoon tea with my Aunt and it was absolutely delicious. Ultra fresh and a very good selection of both sandwiches and cakes and the fruit scones tasted like they had just come out of the oven. It was a warm day so was nice to sit on a terrace overlooking Trinity Centre as well and we will definitely be going again as the price made the whole experience excellent value too.

Came to the M&S Café in Trinity for lunch with a friend. We had the Afternoon Tea for two priced at £12.95. This represented good value for money and was tasty. Plenty for two ladies, but had I been with my husband there wouldn't have been enough. I have had bigger Afternoon Teas (where you could ask for extra if needed!). Having said that, the quality was nice and the scones were fresh. Once thing that I did find annoying was that the sandwich options were either "vegetarian" or "normal" we weren't able to select which sandwich fillings we had, nor the type of bread. We wanted a selection without egg and luckily this was down to choice and not allergies, as both selections contained egg and, as we were told they were pre-packed weren't able to be swapped for an alternative! All in all worth the money for a nice tasting lunch I'll go again if I'm out and about shopping and want a value for money lunch in a city centre!

We recently visited M & S cafe , seven weekly snacks at 9.30 A.M. Morning coffee and Bakewell Tart to die for. It was so nice I cut it into small pieces to make it last. It wasn't cheap at £2.50 a slice,but worth every penny. I couldn't fault anything. Just the job for an early morning treat.

This is a review of M and S Briggate, Leeds You really would have thought that M and S should represent consistant quality, I often have breakfast and a coffee there and it seems to vary according to who is working. Last Sunday was a bad day. I ordered their Scrambled Egg plus bacon and cooked tomatoes on bloomer, had it before and it was good. I asked for it to be well done. Things started off badly. I saw my food on the service hatch, waiting to be brought to the table, I waited and waited. Other food came from the kitchen and went straight past. After 10 minutes it was brought over, stone cold. I sent it back. After 5 minutes, served again, near raw bacon, uncooked tomatoes, not even warm. I assumed by now that the chef was wound up and taking it out on me. I took the food back and brought this to the supervisors attention.

Plenty of choice of hot and cold meals. Nice to sit outside on the terrace in the warmer weather. Food very reasonably priced. Ideal place for a shopping stop gap. Been here a few times and will consider to do so.

Disfrutamos de un plato de sopa con amigos a la hora del almuerzo. La sopa estaba caliente y deliciosa, nada espectacular, pero bastante pequeñas porciones. Sin embargo, la cafetería estaba limpio y el personal muy amable.

This is nothing special. A mince pie will cost you £1.75 but then you are expected to sit on hard uncomfortable plastic seats.To be fair, the staff were excellent, and the food and drinks were good, but I'll try somewhere else for coffee next time I'm in Leeds.

Open plan cafe on the thrid floor overlooking the rest of Trinity. Quite expensive for what it is - but a nice pleasant atmosphere and a change from a normal cafe!

Looking forward to Breakfast at new Trinity Marks and Spencer CafeCoffee was great but 'Baguette' as advertised was actually Brown Bread (A No No for BS).Only 3 small rashers and most of it was Fat.Really disappointing.

We went for a quick snack at lunch time !! some things were not available ?? so we went forjacket potato and beans,sat down at table had a drink, then a member of staff came over,to say sorry out of beans!!! so not a great meal , why can't they go down to the large food halldownstairs and get more stock if they are short of something !!!!
