Three Cottages Cafe in Leeds

On a recent visit to the cafe, I was very upset by the 'manager' who was very unhelpful and uncaring She refused to make any allowances for my 90 year old mum and insisted we got in a very long queue at the takeaway hatch because only if you sit in the cafe, can you order with the waitress. There were no tables in the cafe so we'd sat in the outside covered area. It had taken my mum along time to get from the car to the cafe then from the cafe to the covered area, so for me to leave her for the 20mins it took to wait in the queue was upsetting for her. She is partially blind and deaf. I asked if I could order at the cafe and would come to collect it later mysel, so that i could sit with my mum. The manager said no, was totally disinterested and said to 'go somewhere else if I didn't like it'. As the effort my mum had made to get there was huge, we stayed but it meant she was sat by herself for 20mins! We weren't even taking away!

Rob está continuamente tratando de mejorar la experiencia del cliente, lo que es aplaudido. Esto incluirá un extenso trabajo de construcción y una nueva forma temporal de servir y entregar sus alimentos y refrigerios. Libby, como siempre fue educado y bueno - humorado en el nuevo sitio para el quiosco. No hay servicio de mesa durante un corto tiempo hasta que se complete el trabajo de construcción. No dejes que esto te desanime, solo encuentra una mesa y haz tu pedido en el quiosco. Estoy seguro de que el servicio normal se reanudará pronto. Prueba el guiso de invierno - es encantador.

Qué gran lugar Servicio de personal encantador y comida Visité aquí por primera vez hoy con mi perrito y un amigo Es solo un entorno tan agradable el personal es tan amable y acogedor

Uno de los mejores almuerzos de domingo que he tenido en años. Fantástica comida y servicio muy atento. Muy bueno con los niños también. ¡Regresaremos!

Gran comida, gran servicio. gran ubicación, marcó todas las cajas y recomiendo a cualquiera que venga a comer. Estamos volviendo. 👏

Really enjoyed our evening at the cafe, food was fabulous and service from Libby was really friendly. Highly recommend

Went as a group of 5 to try the evening menu. We were seated promptly on a great sized table for our group. We ordered drinks which Maggie prepared and brought out quickly. Libby then took our food order and served us for the rest of the evening. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. We all commented on how enjoyable it had been and would definitely go again.

I generally try to avoid giving bad reviews but we had a bad experience here today. Poor service and poor food. Upon entry, you have to wait to be seated - but there’s no one there to greet you, so we were standing around trying to find a waitress to ask. Service at the table was slow and apart from one waitress who was the youngest one working there who was attentive, the staff were all really disinterested and quite unfriendly, and unapologetic when they brought the wrong order. They also brought a dirty glass with one of the drinks. The food wasn’t great either. Ordered a club sandwich for £15 and the chicken tasted processed and cheap. Also had a poorly made latte. Overall, not a good experience for a £50 lunch. It’s a shame because it’s always going to be a popular spot because of the location but it could be so much better. I’ll avoid for the time being.

The first and last time that I will visit this place Very overpriced Bakewell cake slice £4.50 was more like a tray bake, dry and tasteless Pain au chocolat £3.50! Massively overcharged for an item that was probably bought at Waitrose for pennies ! I expected better quality for the prices that were being charged and bigger pieces Will pack up a picnic next time ! Waitress was very nice though on her first day

Visited today. As a vegetarian it’s hard to find a decent Sunday lunch. However the lunch here was exceptional! Stuffed onion, Yorkshire and the whole kaboodle! Loved it. Attentive staff such as our host Libby. Loved it! , will be visiting again for sure

Not a great fan of this cafe. We only visit because it’s handy and having had several unacceptable coffees and on one occasion being told they had run out of coffee we stick to ginger beer. However today took the biscuit. We waited as instructed but could see there was no one taking orders. I went inside to inquire and was told that the girls were there and we should wait. The queue grew and I went inside to tell the man that there were no girls as he called them there. He told me that the queue was for ice cream and when I pointed out that there were two groups of people waiting for meals he told me I was wrong. He knew because he worked here. He showed us to a table. Meanwhile the girls came in through a back gate. I said see the girls weren’t here. His response was that they had been fetching something for a customer and walked away. I commented to my friends that they weren’t carrying anything. He stormed over and told me I should be more patient and show some respect for the staff, I asked him why he couldn’t show more respect for his customers. He yelled at me. GET OUT YOU RUDE LITTLE BITCH and stormed off, He had not only been unwilling to admit that he was wrong about the people in the queue not wanting food or that I was correct when I said there were no serving staff there. If as he said they were getting something for a customer why did he insist the girls were there. Needless to say we left and will not be returning

We wanted to sit and have a couple of soft drinks with my grandson whilst in the park on a hot day. It was table service to do this or take away only. We ordered 2 diet cokes. The waitress asked if we wanted halves or pints and we chose halves. They took ages to come but it wasn’t Diet Coke. It was rolla cola or equivalent. You have to pay straight away despite being table service and its card only. The cost was nearly £6. Ok you get to sit at a picnic bench, there’s overheads etc etc but even proper Diet Cokes can cost 25p in multi packs available everywhere these days which we weren’t even given. This really is a shocking rip off🙁

Three middle class old ladies stopped for a ginger beer. Waited to be seated but no-one obvious around. Some discussion about whether to wait at kiosk or ask in shop. Anyway a man showed us in then became extremely abusive called one of us an old bitch and told us to get out! We remained polite throughout. Great customer service not.

This place is a shambles, very very over priced food to be sat there waiting for it for 45 mins two Sarni with fries . If i had not paid at the table id of walked out very very rude manager clearly has a stick up his arse about something walks around giving orders shouting at staff who only look young , wont be going back there giving him my money Maybe he needs a few courses on how to treat and talk people .

Booked for Father’s Day meal having seen some good reviews and photos of the Sunday lunches and wasn’t overly impressed. We waited a while and then ordered drinks and food together. The food came out before the drinks. The meat was dry and tough and the roast pots were warm-ish but chewy. The side dishes were nice. Toilets were awful, supposed to be for customer use only but there was always a massive queue, people just waking in to use the toilet and it was dirty. Sadly wouldn’t go back.

Probably the best Sunday roast I’ve ever had in Leeds. Sometimes when you get one the place focuses on the meat and gravy and doesn’t give much love to anything else. Every part of the roast is so flavourful and perfectly cooked here! Rob (the...

Went for Sunday dinner- with my partner and our 8 year old son. We all need a lie down now 😆. It was the best Sunday dinner I have had in a long time. Lots of pop ups doing Sunday dinners in meanwood trying to...

A Hidden Gem : Fabulous Food, Great Cocktails, Fantastic Surroundings, Lovely Staff. Looking forward to our next visit.

Booked a table today for the Sunday Roast. So delicious….I had the Chicken and my friends had the Beef. We ordered some side dishes as well. Cauliflower Cheese, Truffle Mash & Creamy Sprouts with Bacon. The main meal was already a very generous portion with Veg, Roast Potatoes & Yorkshire pudding with extra gravy, Being a nice tough. This is by far the best Roast dinner we have had. Such a cosy atmosphere and the staff can’t do enough for you. Holly was our server today, super friendly and attentive. So glad we booked a table as it was really busy. By far the Best Roast in Meanwood. Booked again for the next few Sundays…..

Had a Sunday roast here last Sunday which was delicious. My husband had the pork and I had the vegetarian option. We were served by Abigail who was so lovely and attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Food was served hot and came very...

The vegetarian Sunday dinner is amazing best I’ve had in Leeds. Everything was cooked to perfection with a really tasty vegetable parcel. The truffle mash side was amazing. The service was really good and they made you feel at home. Will definitely go again 👍

I have been to a few places in Leeds for Sunday dinner, this is by far the best. Every element on the plate is delicious, well seasoned and cooked to perfection. I had the pork which came with loads of crackling. We had pea/bacon, truffle...

Delicious Sunday lunch. Generous portion with loads of veg and extra gravy. Friendly efficient service

We had a lovely 3 course meal with a choice of menu designed to suit our requirements at a very reasonable cost We had drinks outside before entering the private dining room that had been beautifully set out. The food was great, excellent portions and...

Lovely night for a family 70th birthday celebrations Decorated the room lovely… food excellent & staff looked after us very well

It was an ideal place to have a light family lunch on a Sunday to celebrate a birthday, to include three-year-old twins. There was plenty of room at the table and around the table to be able to relax and enjoy each other’s company. The...

Came with 15 yr old and dog. Staff fantastic. But £20 for lemonade, pint beer and less than average tuna sandwich with about 10 fries spoilt it for us. Disgraceful and i wont be back.

Good cafe to come to with our little grandsons (3 and just 1) on a dry sunny day, when we all needed some lunch after an energetic couple of hours in the playground. Big generous portions, and table service - though not super-quick as there...

Called in on a hot day for ice cream and drinks. It was heaving but we weee served relatively quickly. The ice creams were a bit drippy but that’s to be expected in this weather. The cafe looked nice and would love to eat at...

We love coming here after a dog walk and this morning felt compelled to write a review as we had really good service as well as the usual lovely food. All the staff were so friendly in particular Taylor who took the time to chat...

I’ve been here a few times and keep meaning to review. The cafe is in a beautiful location right next to Meanwood park. Great service and tasty food. Outdoor and indoor seating available and takeaway. The establishment also offers ‘Super Club’ every month and Sunday...

Great location, super speedy, polite service from Ollie, would highly recommend. Drinks were lovely and the vanilla slice was to die for. Would highly recommend the Yorkshire pasty.

We have used the cafe for many years and always found the staff friendly to us. Today the owner was very rude to us and really upset my partner leaving her crying. We were banned and falsely accused. Previously heard owner shouting at his staff...

Overpriced and rude staff. The whole experience felt like an insult. The cakes look delicious but are often dry and stale. Not worth the price tag and attitude you get while being seved. Wouldn't reccomend this place. Left a bad taste in my mouth. You'd...

- [ ] Fantastic Sunday lunch two weeks on the bounce. Week one three meets, week two lamb. Absolutely delicious on both occasions especially the carrots. No idea what the chef does to those but whatever it is I would love the recipe. We opted...

Despite been massively busy, not only did I receive prompt and friendly service from Libby, but she also remembered our order from yesterday! Great cafe, lovely staff, wonderful location. Pupachino’s for Henry and Trooper went down a treat!! Kate, Finn (Henry and Trooper 🐾)

Popped in for a coffee and stayed for Sunday lunch. What a little gem of a place. The roast was delicious and the staff were so friendly and attentive. 5⭐️ - would highly recommend.

Very busy place but friendly helpful staff ordered the Sunday dinner had to wait a while but well worth the wait food was excellent and would definitely recommend this place

As soon as my Husband and I and my daughter came in the man serving went out of his way to find a table and added a chair for us. My daughter and husband had the roast and they said it was delicious and three...

Just had the most fantastic Sunday lunch. The beef was melt in the mouth, the chicken juicy, plenty of crispy roast potatoes and the rest of the veg was also done to perfection - the braised red cabbage was sublime. Heartily recommend this lovely spot...

Amazing Sunday roast. Gorgeous selection of sides Fab gravy and all round top class roast Brought together with lots of love and fab service We have also attended one of the supper clubs, which I would highly recommend for top class, intimate dining.

Just been to 3Cottages for mother's Day Sunday lunch and it was brilliant. Staff were just a delight, both me and my wife who are vegan/vegi thought it was the best Sunday Lunch we have had out in years! The meat eaters raved about their...

Hands down the best roast dinner in North Leeds. Great atmosphere, excellent service, stunning food. We will be back 😋 Looking forward to trying the BBQ menu next ☀️

Visited the cafe today for the St Patrick’s Day event. Lots to do for the kids (eg. Face painting and bouncy castle). Hayden on the kiosk was lovely and really welcoming/helpful!! Will definitely be back!

Fab place, Hayden is a wonderful server, super smiley and made our visit so much, we will be coming back. Thanks and keep it up.

Superb food - great night- great service - will definitely go again and highly recommend . It’s also a lovely place to eat during the day - love the decor

This is our favourite local cafe which we visit regularly after dog walks. Food is always excellent and staff always polite and friendly. They have been a victim of their own success however and at very busy times you can expect a longer wait. Always...

Delicious food at the supper club, with friendly service. The starter fishcakes in particular were really tasty!

Wow! We thought the cafe was pretty perfect during the day but the supper club was amazing! The ambience was fab! The food was amazing and the staff were just as good! We can’t wait for march date to be released for us to book...

Had a fantastic evening at the supper club on Saturday night. Lovely food and a cosy atmosphere. Shellfish pasta was fab!

Had a great night celebrating with friends at the supper club. A lovely vibe and the most delicious food.

This is not a cheap place to visit and the cakes on display look amazing. However, the staff were too busy chatting to engage with us and take our order, we had to ask for the table to be cleaned too (previous diners’ coffee cups...

What a pleasant surprise. We called in for coffee during a Sunday morning dog walk and loved it! A lovely warm welcome, cosy interior and great service. The 3 layer cake (can’t remember the name ) made of cookie dough, brownie and cornflake crunch was...

We loved the first ever supper club! The food was fabulous - really delicious and well presented. The service from Libby and Holly was great - attentive and welcoming. A lovely atmosphere in the cosy space. We will definitely be booking for the next one!...

Had a wonderful evening at last night's first supper club, tried most of the menu between us and it was all amazing. Lovely cocktail menu too. Had to door been fixed it would've been perfect!

Super club at Three cottages cafe, outstanding. The food was superb, I had the king prawn and salmon roulade, venison wellington and Christmas pud cheese cake. The standard of cooling was worthy of any fine dinning restaurant. The atmosphere and service provided by all the...

Chicken liver parfait, chicken wellington, chocolate fondant.... Absoloutley superb food. Fantastic service and ambience. Thankyou to Rob, Holly, Libby, Rachel and the fantastic food prepared by Ainsley. Will be booking again. Thank you. PS forgot to mention the divine chocolate Martinis.... Which i call dirty...

We visited for a special event of breakfast with Santa. Exceptionally organised, food was great but most of all, our little girl loved seeing Santa!! Thank you for putting this on, it was great 😊

Had breakfast today. Andy and Aiden couldn't have been more welcoming and the food was excellent. They also stock a great selection of various Croissants (I love the Almond filled)

Before heading out on a long walk around the park, I decided to have a bite to eat and a hot drink. I ordered the caramelised red onion and cheddar toastie and a Chai Tea latte. Both were absolutely delicious. I will 100% be returning...

Extremely disappointed with the staff here. Young boy maybe early twenties was extremely rude to me. I asked for a coffee and he said ‘yeah and what else’ said I was looking but would decide soon and he said ‘ugh well I’ll come back after...

A wonderful place, perfect for a mid dog walk/playtime coffee/brunch/cake. Lovely different seating areas to suit any weather and attentive, friendly staff. I’ve always found it excellent quality and extremely dog friendly (has to be, in Meanwood park!🤣) Special mention to Holly and Andy who...

Visited today with the wife, daughter and dog, after walking around Meanwood Park. We sat at a table for 2 and an extra seat was placed at the table at our request. There was a little mix up with the food ordering probably due to...

Wonderful stop off place for coffee and cake on our walk through Meanwood Park. No need to worry about feeling cold outside as there were heaters that could switch on, cushions for the chairs and a blanket to wrap around you if you needed warming...

Dog friendly! Seating for about 15 or so inside and extra outside. Ordered the fish butty with chips, hot chocolate and a cake to go all for £14 so decent price. It was worth every penny. Every item was fresh and delicious even down to...

We have had coffee and chips here. Nice vegan hot chocolate too. They have v little gluten free vegan options. Would be nice to have that as the location is great and we would love to return.

Visited for brunch on a sunny & crisp Sunday morning. The cafe is in a beautiful setting & the renovations look amazing. A member of staff kindly dried the table & chairs before we sat down. Menus were promptly brought then the order was taken...

I was very pleasantly surprised at the wonderful service given by Hayden, she is pleasant, friendly and helpful. We'll done you! Many thanks. I'll definitely come again. Heather

Great food for vegans and meat eaters. Fantastic service and a lovely setting. Holly had fantastic product knowlesge and knew exactly how to find just what I wanted! 😍👌

Well the coffee and cakes are good. But pushed the boat out to have lunch. The smashed avocado was a small slice of grey avocado. When I pointed this out to the waitress her response was ‘well you don't know what they are like until...

Great little spot along meanwood park. My dogs and kids love coming here after an afternoon of fun. The ice cream stall is a great addition

We have come here a number of times over the last few months and every time have had a great experience. It’s the perfect place to stop after a walk around the park, with lovely indoor and outdoor seating. Very children (and dog!) friendly. The...

Lovely café nice to see how much it has changed and looks beautiful for it love where it is and the staff are very welcoming smiley Byron who works there made me and my daughter lol lovely time would definitely recommend

The cafe is set out perfectly, amazing value for money with lovely food and the staff are brilliant, would 100% recommend

We cam here over lockdown and it was the saving grace for our family. Since then the change around and improvements seem to get better and better. They've had to make many changes with how they operate I think due to how busy they get...

Amazing service great food friendly staff particularly Danny who went out of her way to make our experience throughly enjoyable

We came here during lockdown initially so it's good to have been back when things were more normal, with 2 small grandchildren and our daughter this time. Lots of outdoor space (picnic tables, some covered, and a number of rattan sofas and cushions), blankets readily...

Got a sausage sandwich tomorrow morning cost over £5 . Big rip of would say it was that good for that . Next time I go a over place in meanwood.

Shambolic service today, table 25, 11.30 ish, told by indoor staff to go wait outside, waited a while at table 25, had to ask to be served, order taken, waited 20 minutes for coffee and cake, had to ask where our order was, reply after...

Took my 2 year old granddaughter to the playground in the park then went to the cafe for refreshments. There were at least three piles of dog mess on the grass next to the picnic tables. Disgusting. Needless to say we didn't stay.

A lovely welcoming cafe within suburb surroundings. It’s looking fabulous after it’s refurbishment, a great place to meet with friends & catch up. The staff are friendly & helpful, the app was super easy to order food & drinks, then straightforward to pay. Nice choice...

A great place to come to with our daughter, a lively 2-year old and a babe in arms. Good food, space (some indoors & much more outside, some of it covered) and friendly table service. There are even blankets for chillier days. And it’s right...

Catch up with friends with sharing platters and prosecco. The food was amazing. Fantastic, friendly and attentive service in a beautiful setting. The cafe just keeps getting better. There really is something for everyone with a wondeful selection of vegetarian and gluten free options.

The new system of ordering on the app is ok if you have a modern mobile phone. I wanted to sit outside and was told to order on my phone by downloading app or scanning. When I pointed out I could not do this the...

Staff were insisting I MUST use the app to order even though the cafe wasn't busy during my visit. Downloading, registering with the app then verifying it with my bank was a long faff when dealing with a crying baby. It would have been a...

If it were not for the location, I doubt this pretty rotten cafe would have any customers. It's expensive, and service can be appalling. When I last visited, under sufference, a week ago, they were only doing a takeaway service. We got two Americanos, and...

I have been coming here all through lockdown and am always encouraged to see independent businesses flourish. However on my last visit we ordered 4 Americanos with milk. The young waitress brought them and when I said there was no milk in the coffees she...

Situated adjacent to Meanwood Park, service at this place has always been slow, but I've never had any complaints beyond that. Our server (dark-haired woman) today though just couldn't seem to be bothered, and was rude, with a bad attitude. I noticed she smartened her...

The coffee and cakes are decent, but service always seems to be incredibly slow, and it's rather pricey.

Just nipped in as my 13 year old really fancied a hot chocolate and my 7 year old a vanilla ice cream. First of all no vanilla ice cream left (fair enough, these things happen) then onto the complete disaster of the hot chocolate. After...

three cottages cafe (see facebook for more up to date photos of location. Photos here don't do it justice) We went to visit Meanwood Park and nipped in for a takeaway coffee...then we saw the mouth-drool-making cake display..nom nom nom! Obvs we had to try....

I can’t tell you much about this cafe other than it has the best chocolate brownies I’ve had in recent memory. Lots of outdoor seating suitable for a family dog walk (as we were doing) and nice coffee too. The other cakes looked equally amazing...

I bought two separate scoops of ice cream for the grandkids £2:50 each, it was raining so we stood under the shelter while they ate them and even though pubs and restaurants have been able to serve customers outside for over a month, when the...

Having queued for over 5 minutes, it was very disappointing to not be able to purchase the drink my son wanted! I had the correct money but was told very abruptly that it was card only! Really! I I was trying to support a local...

Had a very muddy walk round Meanwood and ended it at the café. Grabbed a takeout hot chocolate and cruffin which came to about £6.50. Not overly cheap but well worth it, much better quality than the coffee giant chains! The cruffin was delicious and...

Wow, the mozzarella and tomato toasted sandwich is amazing. The staff are very friendly with excellent customer service. The range of hot and cold sandwiches is fantastic can fully recommend a visit!

We are so lucky having this cafe in our park I bought a carton of stew which was absolutely amazing so good I have bought some more for my freezer couldn’t make it like that myself! The cafe sells Lots of goodies besides coffee and...

We attended the Meanwood Park Cafe for a takeout yesterday afternoon (Wednesday) the cafe was really busy but very organised when it came to distancing and abiding by lockdown rules. The service was quick and Danielle was very attentive as always...definitely a service with a...
