Residence Bar | Cafe | Kitchen (Headingley) in Leeds

My partner and I got the Eggs Residence and Eggs Royale dishes here! 10/10 would go again

Great place with fab service. Came for bottomless did not disappoint.

Good spot for breakfast. Nice selection of items on the menu, and good quality food. Nothing extraordinary, but a solid spot for something to eat.

We had a great breakfast here. I had the breakfast tortilla wraps, and they were fantastic! So nice to have something different for breakfast, and I was very impressed. The options on the menu were great, so I was spoilt for choice. Every one our table was happy with their choice. The drinks were great too, and I really liked the layout of the restaurant. We had a nice table upstairs which was great.

Even when busy, the staff can’t do enough for you 👏 Food always good and can guarantee nice atmosphere.

Great service for bottomless brunch from harry, dale and Emily x2

Thank you to our lovely server Megan, a beautiful location for a gorgeous Valentine’s evening :) thank you guys!

Absolutely love this cafe bar, so much so I've visited 3x in my last 2 visits to Leeds. Top class food & drinks, reasonably priced and well presented. Always seems to be busy too which is a great sign that I'm not alone in thinking it's a great place too.

Fantastic food, props to the chef with the bandanna in the kitchen(Chris). It was very busy and the lady hosting got us a table within 10 minutes which was amazing. Will be back!

Food, place, atmosphere, and staff - everything was spot on! Highly recommended!

The ‘gluten free’ options may not be suitable for coeliacs due to the use of shared equipment in a small kitchen. I tried to discuss with staff if there was anything I could safely eat - there didnt appear to be. At least they were honest and customers with milder gluten intolerances may be satisfied. *The response below goes far beyond what the member of staff was able to tell me on the day - it sounds like some sensible measures are taken in the kitchen and it was more a matter of training for the staff member serving us to communicate these - I have therefore editted my review* ** I’ve seen been back and was really well looked after and safely catered for by staff that had clearly been given special instructions wrt allergens. I’m pleased to say this business really listened and I’ll be delighted to eat there again in future.

The perfect start to the day. I had the Blueberry cheesecake Fluffy American Pancakes and my partner ordered the Gluten Free Residence full English, with sausage and black pudding!!

Wonderful food and friendly staff Only been in a handful of times, because I live the other side of town but every time I’ve been, never been disappointed in the slightest Highly recommend any day of the week

Really good breakfast. Quality ingredients. Top quality every time 🥞🍳

Real good place, fantastic ambience, good music, tasty food. Their elderflower spritz is a must have! Harry, the server was real nice too, had great fun here😀

Food was excellent and reasonably priced. However, we were often forgotten about by staff and had to ask multiple times for drinks, food and the bill

Dale and Harry were exceptional all evening! Amazing service, can’t wait to come again!

Really cute place and the waitress was lovely. Only criticism is that courgettes do not belong on an avo on toast. I was very hungover maybe a non hungover me would appreciate a courgette however it kept giving me the evils on the plate but the avo on toast was good (minus the wet courgette)

I went here for brunch and the food was really good, super impressed with the quality of the food the French toast was perfectly cooked, balanced and generously topped and the Eggs Residential was very good too, the coffee is tasty and everything is super thoughtfully presented. Fully recommend this place for breakfasts or brunches, and I’m sure everything else is held to standards.

I can’t believe I’ve lived in headingley so long and only came here for the first time this week. The lunch was lovely and tasty, the falafel salad was fresh and crispy without being dry which was great. The eggs on the avocado toast were perfect!! 2 for 12 cocktails all day!!

We came for a quick breakfast after running errands in Headingley. We thought we’d give this place a try despite being initially put off by the “instagrammy” decor/exterior which usually tells me the food might be rubbish and overpriced, but we were pleasantly surprised! We both had full English breakfasts and a couple of coffees - mine was a chai latte and my husband’s a flat white. Both very nice, and one of the nicer chai lattes I’ve had. The breakfasts were just under £14 each, a reasonable portion for the price but the quality was very good. Poached eggs were perfect, hash browns really fresh, and the sausage was delicious. Just a bit disappointed that for £14 you only get one sausage and only a teeny little bit of toast. Bacon was a little under for my liking but in the restaurant’s defence I didn’t ask for it to be crispy. Staff were very friendly and attentive, and the place was busy but not heaving so we were served and paid up in about 45 minutes or so. Would definitely visit again if we were around, but probably wouldn’t go out of my way to visit specifically for the food. Though I would like to try their huevos rancheros. For £35 all in it was reasonably good value, just the portion size being a little disappointing.

We came to residence for a bottomless brunch and food and it was great. Staff all lovely. I have been coming to residence since it opened and once again didn't disappoint. I will definitely be back! Thank you

Nice little place. Convenient with well prepared food at a reasonable price.

Bethan was a fab server! The food was unreal! Actually can’t wait to come back! Hit the spot in every way possible! :)

Excellent bottomless brunch. Drinks galore, the gyals got silly 🤓☝️. Dale was an incredible server 💅 he served. Love this place hmu if any goth baddies wanna come with my mate Mr Evans. Witerally 5 stars.

Lovely venue and atmosphere, and the food was great. Dale was fantastic too.

probably the most amazing place i have ever been - gale served us couldnt recommend him more - absolute star

Very good bottomless brunch, service was very fast and good especially Dale who was friendly

I love drinking alcohol and I could do that here. Dale served me well.

We regularly come to Residence for Brunch/Lunch and are always served with great food + the staff is so attentive, top notch service ❤️ one of the best lunch places in Leeds

Dined here a few times. The cooked breakfast is nice but I’ve also had the meatball sandwich and banana bread. They were both were pretty cold and the banana bread was really dry. Is a shame because the service and atmosphere is really nice.

Really lovely service from Megan today

Absolutely brilliant. I have to say, the salad was really to be admired. Enjoyed myself tucking into 3 portions of your salad and was pleasantly treated to some of the finest salad I’ve ever had the pleasure of consuming. Not usually an onion fan to be completely transparent but my perspective on them has now changed post visit. Great establishment, would recommend highly.

Lovely food lovely atmosphere - I really liked the staff, Harry, Emily and Alisha. We did bottomless brunch and they were amazing. 10/10 would recommend xx ps I got a cheeseless pizza that’s why it might not look at good as the others oop

Went for a a couple of drinks with my friends after dinner at Kuala Lumpar Cafe. Apparently we were too drunk to get served. It was a strange and unwelcoming experience. Top points for a really unusual interaction. We nipped next door for a drink instead….before heading home to our kids. Altogether a bit bizarre.

Absolutely loved the bottomless brunch and food at residence, Harry, Emily and Elisha were so patient and fast, happy they were our servers, 10/10 would recommend!!

Lovely food, lovely drinks, amazing service from Harry and Emily !! Will be coming back as soon as I can !!

Amazing service + great music + good vibes = would come back

Absolutely incredible, fantastic service and the playlist was amazing. So welcoming and such good fun 10/10 would recommend Dale such a love x

Paradiso cocktail was to die for

Dale is a great server. Always have a wonderful time here, and reasonably priced.

Amazing service and so reasonably priced!

Really great experience, my partner and I came in for breakfast and coffee and was not disappointed - greeted by very friendly staff, and wonderful food. Left very full and very happy

Quiet enough for a chilled out lunch conversation, with well-spcee tables. Excellent food - probably the best vegan burger in Leeds.

Absolutely lovely family visit to Residence today, the food and service were excellent, we were served by Emily who was extremely friendly and courteous, she answered any questions we had about the menu and was very knowledgeable, we were delighted with the service she provided. All of the staff were very hospitable. The restaurant has a warm , vibrant atmosphere, altogether a great experience. Thank you for making our visit special.

We went at lunch time on a Saturday - there were 6 of us so we had booked - the table was ready, the food delicious - we all had ciabatta sandwiches - and the waiting staff very friendly. Thank you

Super lovely! Quick service and Megan was really kind and helpful 😊 would recommend

First time to Residence. A great breakfast, tasty - and so much choice! Superb service by Megan. We’ll definitely be back!

Dale, Harry, Megan and Emily were brilliant!! We had such a good time, definitely recommend, thank you!!

Great place, good hospitality. Dale really looked after all of us!!

Fabulous little bistro / restaurant. We were introduced to this gem by son who lives nearby.

Went for dinner and drinks, food was lovely and service was great, Emily was super friendly and very attentive! :)

Fantastic food, our server Harry was a wonderful and friendly server, wonderful atmosphere and very reasonable prices. Definitely worth the time to visit.

Food was absolutely beautiful! Megan was so friendly and helpful too!

Amazing breakfast/brunch. Would highly recommend! Table for 4 - only a short wait for food!

Blooming marvelllous. We went for brekfast. Food was superb and as hard as it was to achieve, bettered by the service which was excellent even though it was a busy Sunday morning. Harry was really attentive and looked after us and the kids.

Relaxing restaurant nice staff.Food was delicious and fairly big portions.Definitely worth a visit

Fantastic food. Great service from Megan

Residence has great atmosphere , great food and the service was amazing ! Especially Harry, he was super helpful and very nice and welcoming. Would go back again. Very affordable for amazing food and drinks.

Always love coming here, lovely vibes and staff. Even on hectic Headingley Saturdays, great place to get a drink. Special mention for Megan, who was very friendly and attentive.

Very nice food and great service every time we've eaten here!

Amazing food and service, Harry and Emily were great, a lovely environment, would recommend

Great food, catered for gluten free. Service from Harry and Emily was excellent.

Megan was so lovely. Good service and good food also a good atmosphere!

Great little brunch place. Emma was a great server!

Delicious food as always, they never disappoint. Service was very quick and thorough and Emma was lovely and chatty. All round great experience <3

Reasonable trendy food and atmosphere set in the heart of the student part of the city

Love the history of this place and great selection of beers

Had some brunch here and the food was lovely and our waitress Bethan was amazing and very friendly:)

My boyfriend and I had brunch here and it was amazing! Our server, Grace, was friendly and attentive and made us some delicious Phat White cocktails. We will definitely be back, thank you! :)

Super sweet staff, great refreshments and a happy place to return to!

Best place for breakfast in headingly. 1st time we had english breakfast and bottomless bunch.. 2nd time these delicious eggs. Staff were great and I look forward to return

First timing visiting today. Great food and great range of options. Savory or sweet. Veggie. Vegan. We got the pancakes and the french toast. Both amazing. Staff were really friendly too. Definitely coming back.

Shared a meal after our sons graduation, amazing food, very attentive staff and lovely relaxed atmosphere and iced water on table without having to request ❤ its the little things, thank you for a lovey evening Emily, Dale and Nate xxx

great time at residence again chicken sandwich big smash xx

Best full English I’ve tasted in a long while

This is a top teir brunch spot. Their full English is excellent and their french toast is to die for!!!

Not impressed . Food very quick to the table. Ordered a full English breakfast . Mushrooms were old / off & tasted awful could not eat them. I did mention it to the staff they said they would mention it to the chef . I think too pricey for the quality of food . Very disappointed.

Excellent food, great atmosphere, nice music, good people

Great food, great service. Can't wait to come back and try the bottomless brunch

Great brunch and usually fast and friendly service, only been twice but 5 stars both times!

Amazing place to eat. Really friendly staff & outstanding food. Atmosphere was great & the staff went out of their way to make sure we all felt comfortable & welcomed. I definitely recommend it!

Got two english breakfasts and two smoothies takeaway. Breakfast arrived with no butter for toast (bread was very dry and chewy) and only one straw for the smoothie. Food was decent, good sized portions but definitely not worth the £50 spent.

Lovely café. Food was good and service was excellent.

Such a great bottomless brunch !! Food was lovely and staff were so attentive couldn't recommended more :)

Keep meaning to leave a review every time I’m in here but always forget. Genuinely such a lovely brunch/breakfast spot with a range of options. The coffee is so nice me and my friends even go in for takeaway coffee rather than the nearby chains. As well as the delicious food, the service is also great, I don’t know her name but the blonde lady with glasses is especially lovely! And if brunch isnt for you they also do cocktails on the evening, all round great restaurant :)

Me and my work colleagues came in for the Bottomless brunch and we had a great time. Our server Grace was the best, made sure our drinks were never empty and our food was perfect. 5/5 would recommend to anyone!

The food was outstanding but the service was not good. We had been in for 40 minutes and the waitress asked us if we wanted our bill four times. Old friends catching up after months of not seeing each other. We ordered 60 pounds worth of food and drinks and were willing to order more, if we could just have a bit longer to relax after eating instead of being rushed from the table

The most amazing bottomless Emma and Dale were so attentive and helpful I would 100% recommend

Food delicious, drinks of Virgin Mary and a Cortado were outstanding, our servers Emily and Grace were excellent, nice relaxed atmosphere and restaurant very clean and pleasant 😁

Wow !!! Everything about Reidence is amazing. The food and drink are outstanding, the ambience is great, the staff are professional , efficient, and friendly, and we felt really looked after and safe. We would thoroughly recommend Residence to anyone going to Headingly

Went here on a lunch date with a friend. We had avo toast and a chicken sandwich which were both okay. The thing that let it down was the service. A blonde woman in particular was very rude, rushing us to leave and clearing the table as my friend was still eating. The way she spoke to us was very condescending but we didn't want any drama to ruin our day but we wouldn't return. Coffees were very overpriced also, much better places to go around Headingley.

Harry was Fab! Super accommodating and friendly

Took my parents here and the breakfast was amazing and the service was great ! will be coming back !

Never disappoints been a few times, lovely amazing staff and atmosphere

Unbelievable service. Emma and Harry were top class. They took Bottomless Brunch (at 8pm) as a personal challenge - generous and attentive with asking for our next rounds and loads of amazing chat. Delicious food and amazing atmosphere *****

Great GF selection, friendly staff, not overpriced with great portion sizes.

We visited Residence Headingley for Sunday brunch yesterday and it is by far our favourite place to go! Lili served us and she was excellent, really friendly & attentive. We all devoured our full englishes (one veggie) accompanied by very good iced coffee! Also extremely dog friendly! The Leeds Marathon was one but Emma managed the chaos like a pro! We love it there!

Great food, good selection, vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options! Super friendly staff:) And a rose sangria to die for :))
