Rivers MEET in Leeds

We’ve passed this place lots of times on our way to St Aiden’s and always thought it looked like a pub, which it was (years ago)! Lovely and cosy inside, very friendly atmosphere and staff. Enjoyed the background music which seems to change often (they write the music playing on the blackboard). We went for breakfast which we all thoroughly enjoyed. Brilliant prices and everything well cooked. There was a bit of a wait but the garden area was full and was almost full inside. Can’t wait to get back and try out their cakes as they looked great, scones and a good selection of home baked cakes and traybakes, not your usual bought in sugary rubbish. Lunch sounded great too, the chef came in to write new specials on the board whilst we were there, so they obviously have fresh ingredients and cook it all from scratch. Also they have a craft shop with small individual businesses supplying lots of different gifts, aromatherapy items and environmentally friendly goods which were good value. See you soon and thanks for the great service and food!

Interesante uso de un pub. Ahora una pequeña cafetería y algunas pequeñas tiendas de artesanía. Parece ser favorecido por personas con mucho tiempo libre a mediados de semana. Promedio de comida de café.

Pasamos muchas veces después de las compras, pero decidimos que, como no queríamos un asado este lunes, lo intentaríamos porque sabíamos que hacían almuerzos ligeros. Mi esposo pidió el quiche casero, vino con cuñas caseras y una buena ensalada, él tenía un café con leche con esto. Simplemente opté por un sándwich de atún de mayo en un delicioso granero de granada, esto vino con unas cuantas hojas de ensalada y algunas patatas fritas. Tomé una taza de té, estaba en una tetera con una taza de porcelana, un platillo y una jarra de leche y no sé qué té era pero fue el mejor té que he tenido en mucho tiempo y la tetera Se estiró hasta 3 tazas. El servicio fue rápido y los servidores muy agradables y eficientes, la factura total llegó a 13. 35 p, muy buena relación calidad-precio. Encontré la tienda de artesanía muy interesante, muchas cosas extravagantes a la venta.

Llegó cuando estaba tranquilo y pidió té verde, té de desayuno y una rebanada de pastel de limón llovizna. Se sentó en una mesa y esperó y esperó, escuchando a los empleados charlando y murmurando detrás de mí. Finalmente, me puse de pie y pregunté cuánto tardaría en conseguir nuestras bebidas. . . Se habían olvidado. . . aunque solo nuestra orden estaba esperando. El té verde vino en una enorme tetera de acero inoxidable con fugas. El té del desayuno en una olla de la mitad del tamaño, de nuevo, goteaba. (Todo sobre mis pantalones - y estaba CALIENTE). La rebanada de pastel era del grosor de mi dedo. Una de las tazas estaba rajada por dentro y manchada. La jarra de leche estaba desconchada. Me gusta el shabby chic, pero no a riesgo de higiene básica. El personal parecía más interesado en llegar al final del día que en realidad cuidarse. Como dice mi título, simplemente no fue lo suficientemente bueno. Se fue sintiendo un poco desinflado.

Food was good, and value for money. There was a selection of toys and books to keep my little one occupied. The changing facilities were great, with a selection of nappies/breast pads/etc available should you need them, and in a unisex toilet!

Came for a sausage sandwich and a pot of tea. Good quality sausages. Nice little place. They do lovely cakes too. All at a reasonable price.

Wanted somewhere new to get a spot of lunch with the family in Leeds. Found this on TripAdvisor and wasn't disappointed. Had the pulled pork sandwich special, top notch. Will definitely be back.

Ive been here lots of times. Its god for lunch, cakes. They have a handicraft shop you can browse round. magazines to read while you have a cuppa. Home made cakes, soups. Very close to the river and canal and great for walks

A nice lunch had. Kids food was good and enjoyed by both of the little ones. Relaxed atmosphere and good facilities.

Cosy, lovely tea & cakes, friendly service. I love the retro feel, bone china, large servings of tea. Onion marmalade, very tasty. Highly recommended.

Great place for a light lunch, afternoon tea. Or lovely home made cakes, it's an amazing place, you can spend an hour,looking round at the many varied things on at rivers meet, sewing classes, for adults and children, meditation, book club, yoga, planes for sale. Lovely people. Very friendly. Handy for walks to the canal, rivers Or the new st .aidans country park, great for bird watching. Nice seating area. Suitable for disabled.

Stopped here on our bike ride sat outside in the nice weather plenty of room around back for bikes. Food was good and staff friendly. Shop on site nice to browse. Good range of cakes available.

At the end of an enjoyable walk, along with a group of friends we all sat and enjoyed drinks, cakes, pannini etc. in this delightful cafe. The staff were all welcoming, and were efficient in their service and delivery of our selected food and drinks. A popular venue for locals, as well as walkers, cyclists or passing trade. Beautiful crockery making it a delight to enjoy welcome refreshments with friends in a relaxing and comfortable environment. Seating also available outside.

If you are looking for something different head for Rivers Meet. Originally a pub now converted to a craft cafe offering wholesome local produce and great coffee, a really quirky shabby chic interior which embraces a relaxed atmosphere, you can happily sit with a coffee and read a paper or one of the many books and magazines there, a lovely place to pass an afternoon. There are also tables outside which lots of walkers and cyclists take advantage of and a vast range of craft classes available. The food is basic but always good and a warm welcome always awaits. I would definitely recommend a visit.

He visitado RiversMeet en algún tiempo y nunca me ha decepcionado. Tanto si se trata de una taza de café que sirven la gran mientras charlando con amigos, comer el sábado por la mañana después de una clase, me encanta el casero quiches o una selección de sus buenos para elegir pasteles para llevar a casa, siempre hay algo para deleitar el paladar.

Una pequeña cafetería con comida scrumpy e interesante de talleres de artesanía y pegado. Realmente vale la pena un pequeño desvío en un viaje al este de Leeds.

Bueno, casa sabrosa comida casera te recibe en ríos, con un siempre satisfacer sin gluten y vegetariana opción. Sin lujos, pero honesto y fresco, yo uso este café mucho para reuniones de trabajo así como encontrarse con amigos. Su selección de pasteles caseros es para...

Yo vivo 2. 5 millas de ríos conocer y tengo el lugar más veces de las que puedo recordar y nunca estoy revienta que sólo tengo ahora, hoy, experimentado sus delicias. He perdido muchas oportunidades para visitar este hermoso lugar. Es realmente fabuloso, ecléctica es...

Love this place, lovely ambience. All trimmed for Xmas, very pretty. Had tea and cake (so hard to choose cos all delicious). Friendly staff, pay a visit you won't be disappointed.

A great place to visit for a breakfast or just a cup of tea and a home made piece of cake. There is loads of sewing activities, as a bloke not into that but they sell stuff that people make. I have been several times while visiting St Adens site and always enjoyed it.

Strange review this one for me as I'm writing this 3 years after I went there for the first time. However I went on a first date here for coffee and cake. The setting aloud us to talk properly, enjoy a mutual love for good coffee and cake. The picture on trip advisor is the table I sat at!!!!!! Thank you Rivers Meet for providing the setting as we are still together 3 years later and going strong. Amazing what great coffee and cake can deliver.

Having gone for a morning stroll around st aidens nature reserve we called into the rivers meet for a breakfast, it's an old pub revamped into a kind of craft business.very clean and inviting,friendly atmosphere and great good. Would recommend to anyone in the area.a real Jem.

Such friendly staff and a brilliant atmosphere! Great food, I love that the food is all locally supplied!

A real pleasure. Lovely staff and wonderful afternoon tea! Only slight drawback is its a little cramped but I suppose some might call it cosy!!

What a strange place A cat sitting on the counter licking its private parts is not what I want to see in an eatery, despite being a cat owner myself. The owner is at best stand-offish, and seems to have managed to offend her neighbours by encouraging her customers to park on residents land. If you do decide to visit, spare a thought for the locals

We visit this cafe on a regular basis. They have a very good lunch menu ranging from sandwiches to cooked meals. The cakes are very good and well priced. Almost everything in this cafe is sourced locally. Please be aware that Saturday lunchtime can be very busy. Also parking can be a bit of a problem.

We have been popping in here on and of since this place opened, and it is lovely. Everything is made from scratch. Don't come if you want fast food, go to gregs! And in all the years only had one let down meal. Called in yesterday for lunch during a bike ride with hubby. We were served by the nicest woman, ordered 2bacon, egg and mushroom scufflers, 1with tomato, and a portion of potato wedges, with garlic mayo dip to share. Well, we were cycling! We have to keep the energy levels up! Thats my excuse anyway. You have to know that the wedges don't come out of a pack. They are a jacket potato cut into big wedges and that is crisp shallow fried on the outside to make it like a wedge. They are amazing with the garlic mayo dip. As I said, everything is made from scratch, so we waited a good 25 mins. Not problem to us. The sandwiches were much fuller packed than I last remember them! 2 eggs in each, stacks of lovely mushrooms, not tinned rubbish! Lovely lean bacon, and I had 4 very thick juicy slices of tomatoes in mine. They were devoured and delish! A very large coffee for hubby, a very large pot of tea for me, and 2 sandwiches and wedges, don't forget the wedges, later we were on our way back home, very satisfied! I have said this before in other reviews. This is not just a tea room, it is a crafts place as well. Not my thing but I do find all the stuff in the on site shop interesting to look at. They also do classes for all sort of things from crochet, knitting, lampshade making, corsage making, to self help and hypnotherapy are just a few. Obviously people who are experienced come in for the day and do the courses not the cafe staff. They have info I believe on their website, but I don't know what it is, sorry. Oops

My wife and I frequent this place whilst out walking.Varied menu which is always cooked to order and good quality,Coffee is superb

We stopped here for breakfast with our two grandchildren. From the outside it looks like a pub but the inside has been turned into a cafe and craft shop. The seating for the cafe is cramped and the largest table was taken by a sole occupant who was doing homework! Unfortunately the food and drinks were disappointing and the overall ambiance is slightly shambolic.

Small cafe, not a lot of seating space & service can be a bit poor on both occasions we've visited had to wait a good 20 minutes for two cups of tea , at the first visit we nearly left we thought they'd forgotten about us

I popped in with my family for breakfast, enjoyed the great Scotch pancakes, bacon & eggs, great staff and some unusual craft items for sale. I would recommend.

Popped in here on the way home, quite busy inside. Not much space for you to get to the counter and it took a few moments to be served, would have been nice to be acknowledged. Not nice to be stood waiting to be served with diners staring at you....We ordered tea and a sandwich and sat outside in the sun. Sandwich was ok, bread a little dry and not much mayo with the tuna, but edible. We have tried it at least.

Afternoon tea is £10 per person which is reasonable however the amount of sandwiches was disappointing compared to the amount of cakes. You get a choice of sandwich fillings but we found the sandwiches to be small and not have much filling in. This was not regular afternoon tea but the valentines selection. A nice venue and friendly staff. A cup of tea and a cake might be better value for money. Would go back but have something different to afternoon tea. There isn't much seating so if there are a few people going I would book in advance. Overall it's a pleasant cafe in an accessible location.

good food to choose from went there for lunch and it was quite busy, there is small craft shop beside the cafe

I saw this delightful little spot on my way to Leeds. A most charming eatery with very friendly staff. The food was simply delicious, fresh and warm. Alongside the dining area was a quaint room full of hand crafted gifts, I would recommend Rivers Meet to one and all. If you need to distress and put aside the pressures of the day, I suggest you visit Jo and her friendly team.

Lovely food in a welcoming atmosphere. Cakes especially good. Food was very nice, also has a function room available.

Lovely lunch for four friends after a busy mornings walk. We all had something different; freshly out of the oven quiche from the specials board, brunch style sandwich, soup & fresh bread & a toasted sandwich. The cakes looked lovely but we had no space!

I love this little cafe and eat here often with friends. It's a basic, pretty little cafe but the service and food is faultless.

Nice salad & Ploughman's. Little bit dirty after busy lunch service and no great rush to clean/sweep up afterward.

I've been here lots of times - as part of a big group and also with my family. They are incredibly welcoming to us as a group of mums - letting us park buggies in the craft room (when not in use) and taking orders from our table. They're not phased by crying babies and have an excellent changing facility. The outside space round the back is also quiet and a nice little sun trap!Really friendly staff and fabulous food. I've had breakfast and sarnies here but the cake deserves special mention - especially the cake sharing platter which means you don't have to struggle to choose!! The coffee is also superb; especially the latte. It's very very good value too.Interesting business concept and meeting place helps give it a friendly feel and an eclectic customer base. Lovely place to chill out for a bit.

Friday night was Pudding Club night, showcasing 5 summer puddings. As usual the varied choices were delicious and sparked a lot of discussion by the diners as we had to vote for seasonality, preference, choice of accompaniment etc. As one of my fellow diners said "you know, I would pay £8.95 a month just to come here for the pleasure of everyone's company", but of course the puddings are an added bonus! The vibe at Rivers Meet is amazing: warm, welcoming, inclusive, encouraging and creative in every way. Try it if you haven't been there already.

This converted pub makes a nice midway point on a circular cycle ride from home and I visited with my grandson. The place has a strange style but the bits and bobs about the decor combine to make a nice individual feel to it. We only had coffee and cake but these were fine and the cake tasted home made, always a bonus over catering packs. For crafty types, there's a shop within the building and the retained bar adds a bit of interest. The staff were friendly and looked after us even making sure my grandson's drink wasn't too hot for him. We'll be visiting again.

Lovely cake and I love that the tea is served in various china, not all matching. Rivers meet has a home from home feel with a lovely fireplace but can feel a little cramped during busy times. Have visited a few times and will continue to do so. My 4 year old loves the rocky road!

Coffee nice. Child friendly and staff very welcoming. Always good to have a little browse in the shop. You can lock your bike to the railings outside.Cake portions feel a bit mean. Would prefer to pay another pound and have a decent slice so we just tend to have a drink. Bacon sandwiches good tho.

lovely feel inside and friendly staff. sometimes it is very full so could maybe do with a few more smaller tables. good craft shop

Good meeting place for the people interested in crafts. Wool, craft shop in the corner of this converted pub. Nice coffee and cakes, cater for gluten free.

Rivers MEET is a regular haunt for my husband and I, and many of our friends. We have been countless times, and have NEVER ever had anything but top quality food and drinks, and excellent service. Not something that can be said of all places these days. We called in today after a long bike ride for lunch and, as always, we were not dissapointed! I noticed the tripadvisor sticker in the window, and was curious to see the reviews. Nearly all give rave reviews, but there were a couple of negative ones which quite frankly, are a LOAD OF RUBBISH. This prompted me to leave a review. One of the specials was pulled pork sandwich, had it before and it's amazing, very filling, and excellent value for money. But today it was a B.L.T with salad, a jacket potato with lots of cheese and salad, potato wedhes with garlic dip ( a must try for anyone), 2 very fresh sultana scones with jam and butter, a large coffee, and pot of tea for one, all for just over £14! Where else can you get a jacket potato , with filling for just £2.70!!! A pot of tea for just£1.50 and the scones for £1.70each?? Thoe people who said the cafe was poor value for money, well are they expecting it for free?!! And another thing, they do not use tinned tomatoes on toasted sandwich (well paninis actually) and never have. I should know, I have had them often enough! The owners and other staff are really friendly, and as everything it cooked fresh to order, when it is very busy and there is a bit more of a wait, they are always polite and apologetic. Another great thing is they source a lot of their ingredients locally, the bacon and sausages are excellent, and from a local butchers. I you are into any form of ARTS AND CRAFTS, (unfortunately I'm not), you will be in crafty heaven with the shop in there, and I believe they do lots of different craft classes too. I can't rate those I'm afraid as I have never done one! All in all this is a super, quirky, and relaxing gem of a place, and I assure you, the cheap prices are not reflected in the quality of the meals and cakes!!

I had been told about Rivers Meet a few weeks ago so decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised with the lay out - what a good idea. It has a cafe, craft shop and craft centre. Upstairs there is a function room, there is plenty of seating both inside and out. We had lunch there which was very nice and reasonably priced. Already told friends about it, will go again myself very soon.

Rivers Meet is a very comfortable cafe. Very relaxed atmosphere. Laid back with great music. Food all looked good and great value. The place is also a crafts centre which seemed to be well used.All round worth a stop off for a cuppa or snack.Part of a good run from Woodlesford to Methley along the canal and riverside.
