San Co co in Leeds

Honestly amazing, friendly staff, great service, we were walking around city and didn’t know what to eat when we stumbled along san coco, defiantly coming back to try the rest of their menu

We dropped in for lunch the other day, it was quite busy but we were soon served. There's outside seating but on a blustery day we decided to stay inside. Nice meal at a fair price served by someone who cared.

This was my second visit to San Co Co and would highly recommend. Friendly staff, lovely food with the choice of alcohol and sandwiches or the more filling pastas and pizzas. Sandwiches come on gorgeous homemade bread and with some really interesting flavours. Such good value for money for centre of Leeds.

We’ve visited this place on 5 separate occasions. The first 3 times we couldn’t praise it enough with the fantastic food. The pizzas were delicious. However the last couple of visits have been disappointing. Craved the pizza but one time was told we’d have to please with the chef as want doing them. Then the last visit The server quite abruptly informed us on the limited menu. After initially recommending and having friends visiting on the last occasion the disappointing service we won’t be back

Wasn't sure what the 3 of of us fancied to eat and found this lovely place by sheer luck. It's small ,about 5 tables down and 5 upstairs . We placed our order of 2 meatball pastas,cheese burger and chips and 3 drinks all for around £36. We didn't have long to wait before the food was served by such a friendly,helpful lady. There was ample to eat and all came hot. Tasted great. There wasn't an extensive menu but I think here less equalled more by sticking to staple dishes such as pastas,pizzas,sandwiches,breakfasts. Thankyou for an enjoyable meal.

Really rate the bacon sandwich - in home made ciabatta - just special! Lovely young man serving and helpful young woman in the background! Yes it’s a bit scruffy but it was £7 each for coffees and sandwiches for 2 - bargain! Gorgeous range in the upstairs seating area and very clean toilet.

I am very pleased to see other very good reviews of this cafe. Please ignore the 2019 reviews, I am a regular when visiting Leeds and it is definitely under new management. Also ignore any suggestion of being expensive. Yesterday I had a beautiful well filled chicken & salad sandwich with their brilliant own home baked ciabatta bread for £5, a great price for a city centre cafe. In my favourite cafe in home town Ripon this would be £5.90. My companion had a huge portion Carrot & Walnut cake which was delicious. We both thought the americano was excellent too. Staff very friendly and everywhere nice and clean and well laid out. It's no more than 5 minutes from all the main shopping areas, well worth the time to go there. Don't hesitate!

Pizza, pasta, great sandwiches on awesome homemade ciabatta bread, but I usually come for the homemade Lentil & Mint Soup- comes with the lovely bread

After walking around for a while searching for somewhere me and my friends opted for breakfast here. A plucky indie cafe holding out despite events of recent years. This is exactly the kind of place towns and cities need. The place has a cosy vibe and was pretty busy. I can't fault the service, the staff are friendly and engaging, and I have to give credit for allowing us inside with my friend's dog, so we didn't have to sit out in the cold. it's rarely clear whether cafes are dog friendly. So it's all the more disappointing the food itself was so average, not bad but not really memorable in anyway, and my friends felt the same when we discussed it later.

Popped in prior to a gig at the Arena. We had halloumi fries and two pizzas, the pepperoni and the bbq chicken. The food was spot on, the staff were great and it didn’t break the bank!

Called here for a nice cup of tea and my son had a milk shake. Been here before and we still enjoyed the friendly, fast service. We will definitely call by again in the near future. 😊😊☕

Me and my wife stumbled across this little place. Service with very impressive and quite quick. Food quality, fantastic. The lad serving was a real pro. Know how to make everyone welcome. Will visit again next time we visit Leeds. Recommended to anyone. 5*

My wife were in Leeds last night for a gig. We were looking for somewhere for a drink and found this delightful spot. We were so taken by the ambience we dined there last night and returned for a delicious breakfast this morning. Service was spot on, prices were reasonable and the food was topnotch.

I went here for breakfast as I'd known it to be a nice cafe having been once before about 5 years before. I'm certain the owners had changed. First the woman that served me was super rude. Didn't engage with me at all when I was being friendly. Didn't take my order properly..got the egg wrong. Told me where to sit for no apparent reason. When I said I prefer a different seat seemed annoyed. Another customer came I to say his order wasn't right. When he left it was clear she spoke about him in her own language for quite some time seemed to be moaning. Her and colleague spoke in own language which is fine it's urnown language but from a customer service point of view it was very rude and exclusionary. I felt I was probably spoke about as well as the woman seemed very unhappy and unpleasant. Also my button in dress had opened and I didn't realise my bra was exposed. The male staff member noticed and had been laughing and I hadn't realised why he was laughing until afterwards. I felt embarrassed and uncomfortable the entire time. In a ordinary world someone would tell you as a favour but not there. The food actually wasn't bad but I'm all about customer service and the woman who served was fake and rude and very disrespectful on the verge of disdainful of her customers. They'll never get my money again. It was terrible. If you care about customer service don't go here. I don't think they realise that energy doesn't lie and thats even if you speak a different language.

Made the effort to visit this cafe after looking online for a good breakfast in Leeds. Couldn’t fault the cafe itself or the staff but was disappointed with my actual meal. Opted for the Full English & was offered extra bacon as I didn’t want the mushrooms. I was served mushrooms anyway. Thought the portions were small ( 2 slices of bacon including the one extra) a low quality sausage which was particularly disappointing. Maybe I should have gone for the large Full English but that would have included perhaps even more of the low quality sausage. Coffee was excellent but the total of £10 I thought expensive for the portions served. As I said lovely cafe, very friendly customer service but please enhance your reputation by providing quality sausage(s)

We were struggling to find somewhere to eat & found this place almost by accident. The food & service was fantastic and very reasonable, I cannot recommend San Co Co highly enough!

We thought finding somewhere to eat on a Saturday afternoon would be easy but Leeds was so busy and places that said bookings only but this was a good find. Staff were friendly, a simple menu that was freshly cooked and burger, pizza and schnitzel all very good

Superb find ! Very friendly service. Nice food. There was a little misunderstanding with our order however the staff apologized and offered complimentary drinks. Will definitely recommend and we will certainly return.

Awesome coffee. Lovely spot and very friendly service. A welcome change from the awful coffee chains. Good range of cold drinks, cakes and beers too

have been before and got good service went in ordered 2 sandwiches and coffee ,still waiting for sandwiches after my coffee was finished then received 2 very burnt toasties, who puts lettuce in a toastie , so this was wet and limp. Tall guy San...

I am currently carnivorous but the avocado 🥑, goat’s cheese and brie toastie is easily my favourite on the San Co co menu. I paired it with the mixed berry blast smoothie and it rescued me from the heat wave. Add to that the fast...

An absolutely stunning cafe/bar with the most friendly and hospitable team. Coffee was amazing so I decided to go for the second one and then I felt hungry! 😅😋Their food menu is mind blowing! Authentic Italian Pizzas, gourmet burgers, and last but not least pastas!...

We visited yesterday and ordered lunch for two. The avocado and egg on toast looked promising until we realised the avocado was going off as it was turning black so didn’t eat most of it. Also ordered crispy bacon and Brie sandwich. The whole sandwich...

Really friendly staff and excellent coffee. Lots of outdoor seating, bar and all day food. Looking forward up returning for a breakfast, pizzas also looked great. Great vibe, felt like the bars/cafes in Italy.

Everything on point, love their coffee and sandwiches, staff always super friendly and a super relaxed atmosphere in busy Leeds city centre

We needed to grab breakfast and we stumbled upon this place. I had Shakshuka which I had never heard of before. It was delicious - a mix of eggs, tomatoes, feta and bacon. Very filling too Reasonable price and service with a smile. What more...

Best coffee I've had in a long while! We both had Cheese Omlette & chips...sounds basic but was sooooo tasty!! Staff were lovely and it was all topped off by a seat in the sunshine! Would recommend and will definitely be back 😁👌

This place has better latte than Starbucks Costa Pret etc. Honestly, i’m not even exaggerating. I come here for breakfast and lentil soup. Super delicious, quality food every single visit. Their home baked bread is another reason to visit, I could just come and eat...

Lovely place with friendly staff, food is amazing, I had the Advocado Toast, will definitely be coming back

If you like great quality food and coffee then try here. I have and always visit when in Leeds wish there was the same quality in every town/city, nevermind Leeds is always worth a visit.

It's my first time in Leeds visiting my long lost dad for the first time ever after 24 years. He was telling me about a small lovely place that does food in Leeds and here it is. We both got breakfast and it was absolutely...

It was a cosy place with hard working and passionate staff highly recommended if you fancy a high quality breakfast.

I used to love this place. But after a visit for breakfast this morning, won’t be returning. The place is filthy and the “express” breakfast is very, very low quality. This can be seen when they pour water over the sausages (tiny frozen Richmond type)...

Yet another visit with friends for some breakfast, We all tried king Henry full English with homemade bread was the best ever tasted. The presentation and customer service was fantastic too also the coffee and home made brownies were quite outstanding.

Quick visit for breakfast with my daughter, friendly guy (owner) made us feel welcome. My daughter had the cheese omlette & I had the scrambled eggs on toast with avocado we both thought the food was ace znd the coffees were good too. I eat...

Very friendly and great food. Check out the real fruit smoothies and the huge omelettes! You definitely won’t leave hungry!

Called in very early on a Saturday morning, for an all English breakfast. Staff were very friendly and I really enjoyed the food. Went for the smaller of the two breakfasts but it was still very filling. Home made Italian style bread was delicious too!

The waiter was friendly and polite, we had the 6 item breakfast, the bread was fantastic, the food was reasonably priced too.

just had lovely breakfast wuth fresh home made bread, excellent service i would highly recommend a visit.

Lived in Leeds all my life and always walked past this place.Had breakfast today and was gorgeous.Avocado toast on fresh baked bread is recommended but the menu has some really good options also.Coffee great as well,My new favourite place!

We are tourists here for a fewvdays, just looking around. The kids had complained about being tired, this place had it all. Great, real coffee, friendly staff, good prices, seats in and out. We had pizza and salad with chips. Fab!!!!

Both my friend and myself enjoyed the Gourmet 4 oz Burger for lunch very much. Plenty of nice dressing and a generous portion of chips. The food nice and hot as was the tea and coffee. Tables very clean and an excellent toilet. The staff...

While many taxpayer-subsidised cafes bemoan their financial situation, San Co Co is one of the few remaining Leeds cafes which bothers to open at a time when breakfast is still appropriate. There have been some changes since my last visit, but the same owner, and...

Lovely food and service, home made breads and the best scrambled eggs i have tasted , excellent quality well reccomend a visit if in Leeds

Great place to visit. Warm and friendly. Food excellent too. We always call in whenever we are in Leeds

Quality food, fantastic service, friendly staff What more we could of asked . Great coffee, homemade bread and cakes

Went for breakfast this morning to find out that 2 Breakfasts have gone up in Price by 7 pound. Ah well 2 less customers.

Called in for a sandwich and a coffee this morning. Sandwich was chicken peri peri and was lovely in fresh bread. Coffee was nice and was given a little square of chocolate brownie too. Was worth the drive into the city.

We were welcomed by friendly staff and enjoyed a hearty breakfast. My husband and son had full English breakfasts and I had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. The home made ciabatta which accompanied both was delicious. Coffee was great and the small portion of chocolate...

What this place lacks in decor it makes up for in the quality of food and service. I had the scrambled egg on homemade ciabatta and avacado. My better half had the mediterranean breakfast and w both had cappuccino. Food and coffee were EXCELLENT. Staff...

We come here whenever we can when we visit Leeds for lunch or breakfast (not so often for breakfast). The food here is amazing! They do their own bread and make all sandwiches fresh! The drinks are excellent and the cakes are to die for!...

Just had breakfast here,i had the full English and my wife had a blt both were excellent will definitely go back next time we are in Leeds top marks thanks

Going for a walk around Leeds city centre to escape my flat for a little while and enjoy some sun. Everywhere was absolutely packed so didn't expect to get a seat, especially an outdoors one! Yet here I am sat outside the nicest lil cafe...

Fantastic food at fantastic prices the service is lovely and in such a nice place and atmosphere in Leeds. Just out side Leeds city centre just by the grand opera house fully recommend it

A good choice of big breakfasts, sandwiches, omelettes and my favourite the scrambled eggs on bruschetta. Mercifully open on Sunday mornings.

I’ve been coming here for years now. I ALWAYS highly recommend this cafe to anyone visiting the city centre or asking for a recommendation. The staff are just wonderful and just how much they care about their business is reflected in their hospitality and work...

I love it here , it's close to the theatre and great value for money. The coffees are excellent and the pasta dishes are so tasty. We have the vegetable one and the chicken one and have a taste of each others. The star of...

Difficult to believe that a simple scrambled eggs on toast could go so wrong. The eggs were barely cooked and the bread must have been in the toaster for less the 10 seconds!!

Had to wait for my Prawn starters to arrive. Asked twice for it. When it arrived they were piping hot but my table had finished their starters. The rest of The food was good. Very slow with the coffee some guests had left before it...

Excellent, welcoming and modestly priced Very good coffee Breakfasts best in the area Sandwiches fine too

Only discovered this Coffee Shop a couple of months ago on a day in Leeds with my Mum,don't get chance to visit it often,but would highly recommend it,Great Coffee and Great Food,try a Skinny Latte and a Mango Chicken Toasted Sandwich,they are also Nice and...

San Co Co is a perfectly placed lovely cafe in the city centre where you will find good food and a warm welcome. Mehrdad and his team provide you with spanking-fresh food (they bake their own ciabatta bread on the premises) and cheerfully go the...

Great place to eat/drink. Looks to be a family run establishment. Great coffee, homemade bread is delicious....chocolate brownies are a must have. I make a point of visiting every time I’m in Leeds. Steve

We've used this cafe several times now, with friends who work for Opera North which is just 100m or so along the same road. It's a real gem, very good service and the food is amazing. Don't be fooled into thinking it's your average 'greasy...

I stopped mid-way through my pizza to write this...I’ve been going to San Co Co for a while now and I can’t get enough of this place: top notch customer service, quality food without having to live on a budget. Real gem right here!!

Lovely little cafe just outside the opera house. I had the burger with ciabatta bread and chips freshly prepared and it was very good! Perfect if you’re looking for a quick lunch - very good value for the money! Staff super nice and smiley

What a lovely cafe we travel to Leeds most Sundays while our daughter trains and will return regularly for breakfast/lunch. Attentive service, lovely food and reasonable prices. Also a great relaxed atmosphere - I think we’ll be spending many happy Sunday mornings here :-) xxx

My wife and I needed a quick bite for breakfast one day and found San Co Co on Trip Advisor. It was open nice and early (7.30am that day) and served a lovely vegetarian cooked breakfast. My wife enjoyed her scrambled eggs and avocado on...

Popped in here by chance and very glad that we did so. Lovely home made ciabattas for excellent price. Will absolutely go here again when next in Leeds.

Really good breakfast! We had an American breakfast and avocado scrambled eggs. Gorgeous quality, quantity and good price. Super chill out place with nice decoration and service.

From breakfast to brunch and then lunch before afternoon snacks... the quality is always the same. Their homemade bread is honestly gorgeous! I highly recommend their pastas, salads and omelettes!

Best scrambled eggs ever!!! As for the coffees and fresh baking, why would you go anywhere else??? Always made to feel like a friend or family member rather than a customer. Been coming here for a few years now and I love it here!!

When you traveled is 7 hours on a coach and first place to go for food was here. I asked for a bacon and sausage sandwich. Charged me 80p for a sausage that was no bigger then my baby finger and that was cut in...

We came because the Travelodge we were staying in wasn’t doing breakfast there were 5 of us with various dietary needs and we were all catered for. The food was excellent as was the drinks, we will be back tomorrow.

I arrived late last. Ight for a few days for work and stayed in a central location. I popped into San Co Co for breakfast. The lady serving was very pleasant, the cup of tea was with me almost immediately and the full English was...

Fab quality breakfast at a great price. Lovely friendly people, nice atmosphere with relaxing background music. Open frontage in good weather. 2nd visit and it won't be our last

independant rustic cafe. Very authentic. Good healthy food, for a reasonable price.. Busy and popular but usually have seats free upstairs.

Wow is all I can say Full English was one of the best I have had and amazing value 2 eggs 2 bacon 2 sausage mushrooms beans and tomatoes and a beautiful ciabatta also included was a large tea or coffee Absolutely fabulous and set...

That coffee. That bread. The omelette. Cracking taste, original spirit, great staff. Feels a world away! Super value.

Have been twice, once for tea and home made cake, then for lunch both dishes vegetarian. Both very good, one Aubergine and salad, the other falafal and salad. Both very reasonably priced meals.

I really like this place. They don't make it obvious, but everything here is home-made - all the baked goods, everything. It has Italian and Persian/Middle-Eastern influence in the food, but all healthy and baked on site. I told them off for not advertising and...

This is a cosy place in the centre of Leeds, perfect for breakfast and hot beverages! The service is prompt and the portions are large for the price!! I would appreciate a higher variety in the menu maybe, otherwise, very enjoyable!

If you are looking for a relaxed place to eat lunch or have a coffee and cake - then this is the place to go. Nice atmosphere, excellent coffee and delicious cakes. Lots of choice , hot food and fresh sandwiches- the bread is delicious!...

My friend and I visit this café/restaurant for lunch every time we go to Leeds shopping and recommend this to our friends. Delicious home made food and always served with a smile. The owner and his team cannot be more welcoming. We would be regulars...

Visited Leeds with my hubby for a day trip and he googled the top ten places to have breakfast on Trip Advisor and selected this café. Ten minutes walk from the station in the rain and a very welcoming sight for two rather wet travellers!...

Called in for breakfast after a concert and overnight stay in Leeds. This is our second visit and it was just as good as the first. Excellent food, fab coffee and lovely friendly staff. Amazing value for money. This is a little independent cafe which...

Our recent drink and snack stop at San Co Co was most enjoyable and next time I will definitely be having a full meal there as the main dishes looked wonderful. That said, you simply must pop in and have a Coffee if you're a...

Very charming and helpful staff gave us a great pizza for lunch but the next day the American breakfast was even better. Thanks to all at San Co Co

Great little place. Instant hangover cure through great music, coffee and breakie. Great value!5.99 for a full english with coffee...ciabatta to soak up the egg yolk. What's not to like?

San Co Co is the only place to visit for food, drink and conversation in the City Center! The food is freshly made here everyday...the bread is the best and the brownies are AMAZING! The staff are so friendly and always greet us with a...

San Co co is now my default go to place for business meetings, breakfast and lunch in Leeds. The staff of genuinely warm and friendly; the food is fresh and tastes great! I’m a meat eater but their vegan and veg options have also won...

Searched on-line for a cafe in Leeds City centre open on Sundays and this place sounded good and easy to find. I was meeting up with my daughter-in-law and 10 month old grandson before shopping and they were quite happy for us to bring in...

Came here for lunch whilst visiting the grand theatre. Had read the reviews and they all sounded positive . We had sandwiches and coffee and both were excellent. The sandwich bread was homemade and the fillings generous. We were going to have a chocolate brownie...

Fantastic place, great coffee, lovely food and reasonable prices. Owner and staff can't do enough for you, very friendly. We need to support great places like this before the big chains take over entirely!

We were staying on Vicar Lane in the Travel Lodge & wandered round the corner for Breakfast, we were certainly not disappointed it was delicious, from the full English to the jam on toasted ciabatta. Welcoming atmosphere & a busy morning trade. Thank you!

Looking for a non chain to grab a bite to eat and a coffee. Stumbled across this gem. Does not look much from outside. We had the best omelet I have had. A cracking chicken pasta and American breakfast. Not an expensive place. But better...

Was recommended to visit by some good friends and they were not wrong...absolutely superb food...breakfast was amazing...freshly baked bread...what’s not too like...will definitely be my brekkie cafe from now on...I tell thee.

In my opinion there are far too many chain coffee shops around and not enough independent ones like San co co. I I love this little place. Great location, not far from the grand theatre and opposite the bus stops at home sense (perfect if...
