The Union Coffee House in Leeds

The Union Coffee House is lovely. They accommodated a large group of us at very short notice. The food and coffee was extremely good and the service was great. I would highly recommend a visit.

We heard about this coffee shop / cafe somewhere although I can’t recall where, however, as we were close and wanted a drink, we sought it out. It from now will be our go to coffee shop in Leeds. Quirkily decorated and with purposely mismatched crockery it’s not your typical high street coffee shop and its better for it. My request for gluten free was met with the most delicious bree / bacon, walnut, chilli jam and rocket sandwich. My other half had a non gf toasted cheese scone which I am advised was really good. The coffee was excellent. What a find. I hope it continues to provide the fabulous fare we enjoyed so much.

Little bit of a hidden gem. Have been here a couple of times now and have consistently enjoyed the brunchy/breakfast options! It is tucked around the back of the art gallery - so usually a bit quieter than other options in the city centre and can get a seat. Wanted to say a big thank you to the member of staff who came over to give my dad a cerated knife on our most recent visit. Due to a medical condition, cutting food is hard for him - and the staff member noticed and supported this, without even being asked, in such a kind but also understated way that made us feel so welcome. Thank you.

It was my first visit during my lunch hour today, and I ordered the carrot, hummus & pomegranate sandwich. Oh my days...delicious! It is so fresh and tasty on beautiful crusty bread. I wish I'd taken a picture but started eating it before I remembered! I also bought the vegan fruit flapjack (I managed a photo of that) which was soft and packed full of fruit & seeds...gorgeous. I will definitely go back. The only reason I didn't give 5* is that the price could be a bit too much for some in todays situation. The sandwich & flap jack cost me £9.00 so maybe not a Mon-Fri thing but a lovely lunchtime treat maybe once a month

Great selection of gluten free and vegan options. The staff really knew about allergens and had so many dairy free options. It was just a shame that they ran out of the gluten free bread just after lunchtime. But the food we did have and the coffee was lovely and we’d come back in a heartbeat. The interior was eclectic, vintage and quirky, but comfortable and homely.

Incredibly small and poor 'chaii' latte lacking any actual chaii or spice. Tasted more like warmed up baby milk. Feel ripped off.

🔹Avocado on toast🥑 (£6.95) pomegranate seeds🌱, lemon tahini🍋, toasted cumin & chilli flakes🌶️ on sourdough🍞 我覺得成碟嘢個味都好奇怪😂😂 尤其係啲石榴籽 佢嘅外殼好硬 要咬勁耐先碎😰 多士嘅醬係lemon tahini 係一種中東嘅芝麻醬😃 但我本身唔太好中東style嘅味道 因為有鷹嘴豆嘅味 而且好酸😵‍💫 再加埋孜然粉同辣椒片 兩種調味粉都好重口味 成碟野嘅味道太豐富 所以我唔太鍾意😅 評分: 🌟 🔹Fluffy pancakes🥞(£8.95) Bacon🥓, cinnamon sugar🧁 and maple syrup🍯 我覺得呢個pancake唔錯☺️ Pancake夠鬆軟😙 如果係食返正常甜pancake會更好😃 因為我覺得同bacon唔太夾😀 評分: 🌟🌟🌟 🔹Homemade soup🍲 (£4.5) Always vegan and served with crusty bread🥖 是日餐湯係蕃茄湯🍅 真係飲得出好有蕃茄味😂😂 因為好酸 我仲食到一舊舊嘅果肉😂 有機會係罐頭蕃茄整出黎嘅蕃茄湯😀 評分: 🌟🌟🌟

Can’t rate this place enough, the coffee is the best I’ve ever tasted (sourced from North Star), interior is really quirky and retro and the staff are all fantastic, warm and make you feel very welcome! Have not tried the food but it always looks delicious and a wide selection of vegetarian and vegan option. Manageress is lovely and always makes the time to converse and a credit to the place!

Called into this amazing Coffee House on my way to a hospital appointment. The staff were so friendly and the venue has such a welcoming haven. The coffee was just perfect and scrumptious sourdough toast and jam. Loved the music and the décor. Will definitely return.

I found this place delightful, the ambience perfect for me, the decor very individual and the food and service excellent.

Food and coffee was amazing-would recommend the soup and sandwiches! Decor also very nice, but did have to wait a little while for my order.

nice and comfortable location, excellent quality food, highly recommened,topp👍👍👍👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I first came to the Union coffee house in 2019 in my first term at university. It is just amazing, the food is always perfect and there is so much choice for a vegan (which I am). I normally always go for the avocado and tomato’s on toast but I chose the chestnut mushrooms with truffle oil for a change and it was just great. The staff are just amazing, so genuinely friendly and chatty, always happy to make amendments to food and very on job with drink refills. Just fab

Dropped in for coffee and brunch without pre-booking. We were made very welcome by Sophie and the rest of the staff. The food was great, the coffee was great, and we wouldn’t hesitate to return. Lots of options for vegetarians and vegans too.

Cute and quaint decor. Gorgeous friendly service. The secret garden was just dreamy and the coffee on perfect point. 👌👌👌

Nice owner run coffee house with staff that are proud of the business and superb food food made with pride. The secret garden is a great addition. A nice quint space decorated with real horticulture indicative of the care and thought the owners have put...

Dropped in on Friday last week and ordered a latte and brownie to take away. The coffee was the best in Leeds! The brownie was delicious, very moist and not too sweet, so perfect in my view! This is a great little coffee shop!

First and last time i'll ever be going here. Waited 20 minutes for a cheese toastie. When it came only one side was slightly toasted, £4.75 for processed grated cheese that wasn't even melted. I'm not usually one for bad reviews but feel that this...

What a happy find! Firstly, great, great menu. I had avo on toast with an added (perfectly) poached egg - extra points for having Sriracha! My husband had porridge with banana and honey, made the proper way with pinhead oats. A truly welcoming and warm...

Brilliant place: great coffee, fantastic food, friendly service. Unique and eclectic style. Definitely recommend.

Popped in here for breakfast while visiting Leeds Infirmary just down the road. A nice little place - if you like unmatched furniture and crockery! Food was good and good value. Staff were friendly.

Visited yesterday for this first time, and have gone back today already as very impressed. Coffee is great, food was delicious and very friendly service. Will be returning :) (also great gluten free options!!)

This is a hidden gem of Leeds with delicious vegan options always catered for and often vegan cakes. Fresh coffee and beers / drinks. Books to read and items for sale. WiFi its a great relax and time for you spot. The only thing I...

After just having a coffee with a work colleague we were more or less asked to leave unless we bought food as it was lunchtime. I was a regular customer too! Won’t be going back.

Great food and good selection of options of food for everybody. Meat eaters, vegan, vegetarian. Only down side is the tiny cups for your 2.80 hot chocolate.

Ordered coffee and poached eggs, coffee was great and poached eggs on toast were made to perfection. The venue is very quirky which adds to its charm and the staff friendly. Only issue is with toilets, they’re a bit dated and didn’t look very clean....

Visited with a friend and was disappointed ! We both ordered simple toasted sandwiches and they took almost 30 mins to come? The cafe was otherwise almost empty. When it arrived, the side salad and the actual filling were covered in pepper and I didn’t...

Went in for a quick coffee but couldn't resist the nice cakes!! Very clean inside, with good, helpful staff. Didn't really have food to our taste but then we only went in for the coffee. Would probably go in again when in the area.

Been quite a few times here as it was very close to my college. The staff are great and very friendly, food is lovely and the owners couldn't be any nicer. I highly recommend this place if you fancy something for lunch or just a...

Quirky Coffee House/ Eatery where everything is for sale. Staff were friendly and served me very quickly even though it was mid-day and the shop was busy. I am happy to admit I’m not massive on the independent Coffee Shop vibe and find it very...

Popped into this cafe for a quick bite to eat and a coffee. Had a Brie and bacon sandwich and cappuccino. The sandwich was a bit steep at £5 and I was struggling to find the bacon. Even the side salad couldn’t spruce it up....

A lovely independent cafe, friendly staff and delicious food. I believe everything is for sale, from the second hand books on the shelves to the charming mis-matched crockery. Please support places like this to stop Starbucks from taking over the world!

Nice place with a limited menu of mainly sandwiches and soups. I had cheese on toast which was lovely. Friends had one of the soups, which was very filling. Busy place at lunchtime. Quite pricey for what you get.

This cafe is an absolute gem. The coffee is the best I've tasted in Leeds with plenty of options and made to perfection (V60 or the flat white are my favourites). I been in a few times for coffee (sitting in or takeaway) but have...

the coffee here is delicous and worth a visit. pass the starbucks and costa if you need, like i do, a good strong coffee in the morning. they also have books for sale and vegan gluten free sandwiches and cakes - so lunch was also...

Pains me to give it 5* because I enjoy how quiet it is. If you want a quiet pint of veltins at a good price, or awesome coffee and a sandwich, whilst reading a fantastic book, this is the place to go. Outside area available...

Cute, quirky independent cafe in Great George Street, near the Uni and the LGI. Just wandered in for brunch as it looked interesting and was really impressed. Delicious brunch of avocado and eggs on sourdough toast. Cool, quirky interior. Sofas, armchairs and mismatched seats and...

Great George street is a bit of a hidden gem for cozy independent cafes - and The Union coffee house is one of them! Filled with vintage furniture it feels like hanging out in someone's living room. Really friendly staff too. And of course, very...

Great little place. Excellent coffee, nice staff, good cake, good Wi-Fi and, best of all: a quiet outside sitting area. Makes you forget you're in the centre of Leeds. Decor is vintage and quirky with mismatched chairs, sofas and crockery. Will visit again!

Just wandered in and was immediately impressed. The guys behind the bar were helpful and chatty (see photo) and explained that everything - even the cups and saucers - is for sale as part of a commitment to the community. Great cakes and coffee too!...

I am new to the area, the staff is welcoming and the coffee is very good. They serve healthy food made of wholesome ingredients, I would recommend and return. Thank you

This is a lovely cafe with amazing local and ethically sourced food and drink. Everything is home made and really tasty. Bonus they also sell alcohol and regularly have chilled out bands on at a lunch time and in the evenings. Vegetarians are well catered...
