Out of the Woods in Leeds

Great coffee and great food, what's not to love!

Fabulous coffee and great food - not just your average coffee shop. OotW team are always friendly and accommodating of our office's food and drink requests!

Great and friendly service, lovely food, cozy spot. Excellent coffee!

The best coffee in Leeds..great food and lovely staff.

Friendly staff and great coffee, always a good morning pit-stop for the commute.

Been working across the road from here the past week. Nice coffee.

Literally the best coffee in Leeds, staff are always lovely!

Great little coffee shop! Latte was lovely and the cake was nice too. This is a great place to enjoy coffee away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre

Popped in for a coffee. Coffee was made nice, and they were using Dark Woods Coffee Roast which is a popular local roaster. The only thing I wasn’t so keen on was the help your self blocks of sugar, these take so long to melt and stir into your drink. Other than that great.

Dropped in for corree and a mid norning bite to eat. Blown away by the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff. If I lived in Leeds this would be a regular haunt. Tucked away on the canalside it is not immediatrly obvious to the passer by .... Good things come in small packages, as my gran used to say. Dog friendly and popular. They even gave my mutt a bowl of water unbidden. Lovely atmosphere. A great if accidental find!

Love it here! They make thee best coffees!! Smoothies are sooo nice too, it makes it hard to decide what to order! Go for the tropical one if its a rough hangover Sunday ;) even the iced coffees are amazing! the staff are so lovely and friendly! The brownies and blondies are the best I’ve had! Infact all the sweet treats are good. Not so keen on the toasties here, the bread was slapped together and not enough cheese to make it stick so was pretty much a poorly made sandwich. Maybe that was an off-day! Overall a nice little spot for coffee.

Out Of The Woods is a lovely little independent coffee shop. It is a little more expensive than other coffee shops in the area but the flavour of the coffee more than makes up for it. (It’s also in the centre of Leeds so prices are justified.) A regular latte is £3.00 - 50p for a large I believe. I think you’re missing a trick by not having branded takeaway cups. I know this would increase cost but thought it would be worth mentioning! Thanks for an amazing coffee! A solid 5/5 star. ⭐️

Excellent coffee and granola bake

Excellent coffee and first-rate service. We really enjoyed our visit, and will definitely come again.

Fantastic little coffee shop and delicious toastie sandwiches..

Can you give me the number of the owner of the apartments that share the same building, I did not find any contact with him

This has immediately become my new favourite coffee shop in Leeds. They serve the best coffee in Leeds and their selection of small treats is fantastic. I tried their Honey and nuts crunchs this time, OMG I am in love :) The staff are superb and super friendly. Definitely deserve the 5-star.

Best smoothie I ever had (The breakfast one) great service a tasty coffee and goat cheese toasty with chilli jam.

Such a lovely little café the staff who work here are very friendly and welcoming! Great food and their selection of sweet treats are amazing! :)

Best coffee in Leeds! Delicious handmade cakes. Friendly staff.

Great place, best sandwiches that side of Leeds

Nice out of the way cafe. Plenty of healthy meal and snack options.

Are we Out Of The Woods yet? The answer when you visit this café is a resounding yes.

We attended a meeting close to Out of the Woods this week and ordered a selection of drinks, lunch and breakfast from the Outside Catering menus. Ross was so helpful and had everything ready on time for our meeting. The food and drinks were amazing quality and everyone was so friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for Outside Catering or just for a coffee/lunch!

Great coffee and amazing brownies. Stopped off here after a cycle ride to Leeds from Pudsey. Definitely go there again. John

Nice little coffee shop offering excellent coffee, unfortunately not much seating and limited opening times.

Great service and extensive menu, whether you're after breakfast, lunch or something in-between! There's a small seating area 4/5 tables but most people grab a takeout lunch to take back to the office. The staff are friendly and the food is locally sourced where possible and delicious. If you want to keep it simple, go for the doorstop wedges of toast with jam!

This is my new favourite coffee shop. The staff are super friendly, and really good at what they do. They have a great range of food and snacks as well as drinks, and their iced coffees have been a life saver in the heat. Lovely atmosphere if you want to sit inside. Try their brownies.

Always enjoy a trip to this cafe. Has a great location on Leeds South Bank one of my favourite spots for a cafe in the centre. I love it's name and the lovely mugs that match the logo. A lovely selection of drinks, sandwiches and cakes. A choice for everyone with such lovely and tasty ingredients.

WOW. Felt faint before business meeting and had the utter treat of Vegan Orio brownie. Spectacularly nice. Went back after meeting, veggie pakora, tzatziki, rocket and cherry tomatoe wrap. Beautiful. Topped off with almond milk latte. Wonderful staff. Wee lady was super helpful. Go here.

Friendly crew and delicious coffee!

Great place for coffee and the sandwiches are awesome

Smoothies here are absolutely delicious and very filling! Plus they do a lovely range of sandwiches and other snacks that are freshly made :)

So glad I found this place, it's a really relaxed atmosphere in a great location. I came here after getting off the water taxi right outside, it's comfortable & lots of seats at the large windows looking out at the canal. I got a pot of tea (3 decent cups) and a brownie for £4.50, it was the nicest brownie ever, staff were great, definitely recommend!

I visit Out of the Woods most weeks for a coffee and sometimes a quick lunch. They do a great flat white and their daily filter brew is always delicious. They also have a creative rotation on their 'toastie of the week'. Really, really friendly staff & owners that take the effort to get to know their customers.

Delicious coffee and brownies, and a good spot for a sandwich. Vegan sandwich options could be more adventurous, but the vegan brownie more than compensated. Handy location, cosy, with some outside seating for warmer days.

great coffee, sandwiches and treats ... highly recommended ... oh and the guys are cool too.

I've been here 3 times now and can't get enough of the goats cheese, chilli jam and tomato toastie! Big thick granary bread with a big wedge of goats cheese toasted for a few mins is delicious! And £3.50 is a really competitive price for Leeds city centre It's a small cafe with a couple of tables to sit at. There's free water on the tables too and the servers are always really friendly. They have super brownies too! Unfortunately trip advisor won't let me post photos

Cute, but a bit pricey. Not enough space to comfortably sit and relax, so better to takeaway.

Perfectly fulfils my coffee needs every morning without fail. Great nibbles too.

Fantastic and fresh food, hearty smoothies, great coffee and awesome cakes. Add to that the most courteous and welcoming staff and you know you're onto a winner! Cannot recommend enough!

Great coffee here! There's also a brilliant selection of homemade sandwiches. The soup is always good, and toast will fill you up for hours. Love that the takeout coffee cups and lids are usually the compostable ones.

Just what you need any time of the day, particularly in the morning when a sachet of instant coffee just wont cut it. I drink Espresso and it is served very short, strong but not bitter.

Excellent quality and selection of coffee and a great selection of sandwiches cakes etc. A great little find between leeds station and holbeck. Friendly staff in a very modern urban setting.

Great little coffee joint. Awesome coffee excellent service!

Fantastic food, friendly staff. The place has a very rustic atmosphere. A tad expensive, but what do you expect for Leeds?

Lovely staff, great food, great smoothies, good prices, location is not the best in the world, but hey, if you are near them, they will deliver

I love this little place. Small inside but enough seating for what is needed and you can always take out and sit by the waterside and canal barges. Homemade and local products shine through with friendly service. Even basics like jam on toast with a hot drink surpass expectation. Their brownies are absolutely delicious and worth a visit just for them. Reasonably priced too.

High quality food and drinks, but pretty expensive

Great coffee & friendly staff near south entrance to station, worth a visit. Lovely to sit outside on a sunny day.

The best cappuccino, staff are great, worth a visit & convenient for station or if getting water taxi.

Chose this bright and cheerful place for breakfast rather than our nearby hotel offering. Was not disappointed. Friendly staff, gorgeous coffee and a perfectly cooked avocado, bacon and poached egg on toast. Will happily return if we come back to Leeds.

Located right next to Leeds station on the canals, it's worth the stroll from Leeds city to check out this little café. Excellent coffee, healthy breakfast and sandwiches and a nice place to relax

Will definitely be back if I get back to Leeds. Great coffee. Great view. Great breakfast. Great service!! Exactly what I needed for my morning :-)

Los bocadillos y pasteles en este lugar y olor increíble, sin embargo no los puedo comer porque no hay opciones gratis y vegetariano sin gluten! Pero el café me puede responder, y es muy bonito. Hay también una gran selección de bocadillos y fruta, incluyendo bares y patatas fritas, así nakd no pasar hambre.

Estado viniendo aquí durante años yo trabajo a la vuelta de la esquina una vez a la semana y francamente

A really nice place, great coffee and lovely food, with good service. Small, but beautifully formed

A super little cafe in Holbeck, scene of many a quick breakfast meeting, super toast and a variety of organic and local produce for hearty snacks back at your desk. I cannot recommend enough!

The only thing that isn't perfect about this place is that they don't stay open enough. Everything else is fantastic. The food is of an excellent quality and the staff are knowledgeable and caring about their raw ingredients. They are also creative and very positive. The coffee is fantastic. Why on earth aren't they open on sundays? So weird. Apart from that - oh yeah one other thing, no coat hooks anywhere, but you know, it says a lot about the place that you have to scrape that low to find a negative- I love it. Its pricey in a way, but you don't care because its worth it.

I quite liked it here, first visit. We were the only ones and felt a tad conscious of that with it being so small. Can't say the stools are my thing and we may have stayed longer and had something to eat if more comfortable but for a quick, and it was quick due to that, cup of coffee. The staff were friendly and polite but sat relatively close to us adding to the awkwardness we felt.

Popped in here in a rush and picked up a pre-made egg sandwich which was absolutely delicious - tasty bread, lovely free-range eggs, seasoned perfectly - what a happy find!

We popped in for breakfast while stopping at a nearby hotel. We both chose bacon butties but were offered a choice of white or brown bread and they were happy to cook the bacon as we wanted. Generous portions and the food was delicious. Nice friendly service too. Highly recommended.

I just popped into Out of the Woods for the first time and had a take away sandwich, coffee and a flapjack. I was debating the flapjack over one of their delicious looking brownies but I was advised by the staff that the flapjack was the best. I just wanted to let them know that I totally agree - the sandwich and coffee were pretty good too. I will be back

We had cycled from Saltaire to Leeds along the Leeds Liverpool canal. I'd called into this cafe a number of years ago and thought it'd be good to return. We arrived at 2pm on a Saturday - we ordered 2 lattes and 2 pieces of cake. The staff asked if we wanted our coffees in takeaway cups because they were closing in 30 minutes at 2.30pm. The staff wasn't short or rude with us it was asked in a genuine way - they didn't want to rush our break. The coffees were lovely - the strength of coffee could be tasted easily (almost strong for a latte which we like). The cakes were vry good too. I would recommend using the cafe it is clean, modern and tables & chairs inside and out make it suitable for all weather's. The prices were ok too. If anything the early closing time is disappointing.

We were staying in the Doubletree and popped into their branch just across the road from the hotel. We were really glad we did, as it's excellent. Very friendly staff, great food and great value. I had the breakfast smoothie, which was delicious. We also had a toastie, bacon butty and some toast over our two visits. The coffee is also really good. I would highly recommend this café and will always visit when in Leeds. Way cheaper and better than any hotel breakfast!

I was keen and excited about trying this new place. I checked their website and was looking forward on tying their menu. I arrived at 2:30 on friday afternoon. It is advertised on the website that they close at 4. As soon as we were getting comfortable, we were told they were closing down. Then were told we could only have one of the already made sandwiches that were wrapped in the stand. In a very impolite way, we were also told that they could 'maybe' still make drinks if we wanted. I asked at what time they were closing down, since I knew they were meant to close at 4, and was told they were closing just after 3. We left very disappointed of course. An example of false advertising.

I've walked passed this place so many times on the way to work but not had the chance to pop in. Anyway, at last, here I am! I've just got a cup of tea and sat doing some paperwork. The girl who works here is having a chat with a customer and is really pleasant and welcoming. She's also been making the sandwiches for the day for the shop to sell. I think that's great! She was telling one customer that some of the cakes are made by one of the staff who studies or studied at a culinary school. There is a chocolate log shaped like a salami. Very cool! So much better than these places that order in. What a lovely, homely place. I hope I get the chance to pop in again soon.

I really like the sandwiches here and the nice bread. The meal deal at lunch is good too. It's a good choice for a lunch stop

Perfect little spot to drop in for a coffee. Despite being quite small, there's enough seating as most of the lunchtime clientele seem to take their sarnies to go. Quiet and charming, it's a lovely place to relax in the middle of a long day. Plus quality coffee-- goes without saying. The cakes look decadent and the staff are pleasant. Sorted.

Had the most delicious pakora & tatziki salad from here the other week! The prices are a little expensive and I couldn't afford to have lunch here every day, however the food is worth every penny and you get a very decent portion size! The staff are also super friendly - will be coming back definitely!! :)

I didn't eat here, but I stopped for a quick coffee on the way to the train station. It was lovely and great way to pass 20 minutes watching the world go by with a view of the canal basin.Other people bought sandwiches whilst I was there and they looked lovely, each one was individually made to the persons specification, I only wish I hadn't already had my lunch :-)

Ok so the cost of a sandwich does seem a little steep but once you take a taste of the gorgeous fillings you forget all that.Super tasty food and very helpful staff.

Ordered bacon butties but more bread than the tiny fragments of bacon which is a shame as just paid 9£ for two and two espressos. On holiday so didn't want to make a fuss in front of my partner but starving still so well gave to go somewhere else to fill up and I'm only skinny as it is!! :(

Stopping at the doubletree hilton - not a lover of big (expensive) cooked breakfasts - popped over to "out of the woods" on Granary Wharf. Lovely cafe - nice seating outside to enjoy the sunshine and view. Just had coffee and toast which was fresh and thickly sliced with topping of your choice - just perfect! Friendly staff - would return without a doubt!

I haven't eaten here but I regularly pop in to the Granary Wharf cafe on a morning to get a cup of coffee which is the best in the area by some way.

Had an appointment at the Pastille, the beauticians just next door and so researched and saw this place! (the Granary Wharf) I had tweeted them before as my son is picky so I wanted to ensure they could cater. Arrived to a warm welcome and they asked if it was me from Twitter that morning & said hello to my son. They were very friendly. We had a tuna, cracked pepper & lemon sandwich, a cheese toastie, packet of Yorkshire crisps & a coffee, it came to just over £7 which for Leeds, I really don't think is bad. It was very fresh. There's only a couple of tables inside but bar style seating round the edge and a couple of tables outside which is nice and there's a nice view of the canal. Would definitely go back!

I have visited both locations, water Lane and the one near the canal, I enjoyed both. The Water Lane location has a great comfy sofa to relax on and enjoy your coffee, of which there is a great selection, along a wide range of sandwich with delightful fillings.Along with free wifi and some fab choccies to treat yourself to, these cafes are a must.

I use out of the woods quite regularly as I work just round the corner. The sandwiches a re great and it is never to much trouble for the staff to change the ingredients to suit your requirements!I love the brownies when I am testing myself! They have wifi and I love a chat with the staff! Enjoy your visit!

Found this place just near our hotel while on a Christmas shopping trip, had breakfast both days and thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were all v friendly & accommodating, (we asked for bacon well done & it was done to perfection)! Will definitely come again next time we're in Leeds.

Best coffee in the area, they do really good toast and jam in the mornings, and contrary to the previous reviewer the owners and staff are really friendly and helpful (I guess the previous reviewer didn't speak Yorkshire). Add to that there's a great range of products made in Yorkshire they sell in store and on the web.

The food is a good quality and well made with creative ideas on sandwiches. The other snacks are also very nice. However I always thought it was slightly too pricey. I was charged £1 for a takeaway water and when I realised it was sparkling I took it back to try and exchange it. One of the staff was quite helpful and friendly and said it was fine that I could grab another, until another member said to me ' its not my problem , its YOUR problem that you chose the wrong water'. So I promptly left after being made to feel uncomfortable.

1st visit. Impromptu visit. Yummy late breakfast. Eggy bread with crispy bacon and a great strong double espresso. All the food looked fresh, appetising and was presented well.

A nice casual place to pop in to for a light bite and a drink.I have had a few take out sandwiches from here and they have always been good.Today we sat down and had a couple of coffees and some food.A toasted sandwich in very good brown bread and some pancakes.All fine and very tasty.The coffee is good too.We found all serving to be very friendly and nice.The place is small and was full when we went, but we only had to wait a minute to sit down as some customers were leaving as we arrived.

I love Out of the Woods it is my favourite cafe and snack bar in all of Leeds the sandwiches are lovely but you must also try Caramel Sunrise it is the nicest smoothie that I have ever tasted the people who work in here are so nice they always care if you have a nice day and are feeling comfortable and they can provide free internet power if you need to do a spreadsheet or design an advertisement

Situated in Leeds Granary Wharf this modist cafe could be missed, which is a mistake you may regret.The staff are so friendly and the coffee or Mocca in my case was thick and creamy with a lovely chocolaty coffee kick. We also ordered a bowl of the homemade soup which was FAB.The price is reasonable & with tables outside on a warm afternoon, what more could you want? A short hop from Leeds station it is definitetly worth the trip.

I go to Out of the Woods for lunch a couple of times a week and the place is just fab!! The staff are v friendly are are always happy and smiley!The fresh soups are yum and i often have their fresh juices which are great for an energy boost and a hangover cure!see you next week xxx

Cracking coffee best in the local area, staff who are passionate and good about what they deliver

super fresh coffee and simple and succulent breakfast

This is a great little cafe in the up and coming area of Holbeck. It does great home made sandwiches, delicious soups and I love their cookies. There is a great range of cupcakes as well, with loads of differnet flavours. They are great value especially as they do deals for people wanting soup and a sandwich or a smoothie and a sandwich. I am a personal fan of their freshly made smoothies. It never gets boring either as they try different things recently stocking sushi and always have different gifts, all local to Leeds. I love the little cards they sell, a seed is enclosed to grow a flower, giving a bit of a different twist on a birthday card.I would recommend it to anyone who works/lives in the area or are just visiting as the staff are more than welcoming and if you aren't sure what to have they are great at recommending something or making something just for you.

What a lovely place Out of the Woods is. Not very old, and positioned just outside of the city centre, nestled amongst some of the more impressive buildings of Leeds' rich industrial past, this place is a right treat.Expect freshly prepared door-stop sandwiches, salads and hearty, warming soups here. It's a feeding ground for the local architects and design agencies. They also have a huge selection of fruity brews as well as spot on coffee. Go for a morning wake-up, a lunch time gobble or a mid-afternoon pick-me-up.The staff are all super smiley and friendly, in a genuine way. This is not a Starbucks. Definitely more of a cafe than a restaurant though.Watch out for their cupcakes and sweet treats. It's hard not to buy one.

I eat at 'Out of the Woods' most week days. It's a great little cafe and smootie bar where you can eat in or takeaway. They have a vast choice of smoothies, sandwiches, salads, soups and sushi and other things that don't just start with an 's'! The best thing is that the food they use is generally all locally sourced, and they are happy to make you a sandwich that's not on the menu within reason. As I suffer with many allergies this is a perfect place to get something different to eat. The staff are great and create a fun and relaxed atmosphere.
