Ugly Mugs Cafe in Leeds

Traditional British breakfast at an affordable price. Bacon was great. Everything else is just as what you would expect. Store prefers to take cash. They also have lots of sandwich / burger options that I would love to go back and try. Coffee could have been better and overall cleanliness of the place & utensils could also be improved.

Vile, how can you mess up an English breakfast so much. Tasted like it was cooked in dirty oil, 5 of us left at least 3/4 of the breakfasts. The only good thing was the brown sauce.

one of the nicest burgers iv ever had with fast service and nice workers

Excellent café outside Headingley Rugby Club. Can be super busy at breakfast before rugby and cricket matches.

Good lunch at a great location.

Great cafe local to the stadium. The owner was a lovely chap too.

The place isn’t open today, despite it claiming to be. Disappointing as didn’t bring a pack up to cricket as was counting on a breaky and lunch today.

love this little cafe,serves real down to earth honest grub. decent owner who I've got to know quite well over my regular visits. none of this pretencious nonsense of seving your baked beans in a little dish. food as it should be in my opinion.

Such good workers , nice food , would recommend 👍

Cannot stress enough that this place should be avoided if you’re looking for a good spot of breakfast. Ordered beans on toast which looked fine when it came out, however, I’m sure cardboard would have tasted at least 10 times better. Unsure how both the beans and toast can be as stale and gross as they were, so hats on to the chef who managed this daring feat! Shocking, what a waste of time, the owner spent more time telling us about his Sloppy Joe “specialty” than he did cooking the breakfasts😂 Also, do not order a Latte if you enjoy good coffee. We received (quite obviously) two mugs of Nescafé Latte sachets which were also stale and honestly annoying to receive. Just go to Wetherspoons.

Friday 7th July 2023 Before going to watch the ashes game, I used this well-known breakfast place This cafe served excellent café The food was ace sandwiches included Place was well staffed food well valued and ace Good value for money good outdoor eating area also 10 out of 10

I am visiting Leeds to attend the cricket at Headingley Cricket Ground and I found this cafe literally less than 1 minute from the entrance gate on St Michael's Lane! I ordered the hot chicken sandwich with bacon, cheese, lettuce and mayo plus sweet potato fries!! It was the MOST delicious hot chicken burger that I have eaten in the UK And the sweet potato fries were made from real sweet potatoes and equally tasty!! This cafe offers delicious food at reasonable prices with friendly and efficient service!!

Great food, a good place to get a full English before the cricket or a bacon sandwich to take into the ground. 👍

Great breakfast. Wonderful bacon and hash browns.

My favourite cafe in Leeds! Great value, cracking breakfast and service. Never had a bad experience, the owner is always so nice and makes sure you get the best possible. Top place

Man behind the counter genuinely seemed offended people had turned up expecting food, between me joining the queue and getting to the front of the queue breakfast had been taken off the menu, it was still breakfast time, shortly after I ordered sausage that disappeared off the menu and by the time my friend got to order the man was down to refusing to do well done bacon as it took too long. You’re probably wondering why this is a 5 star review, well frankly it was one of the most hilarious experiences I’ve ever had, he was so grumpy. But the food we were able to order (just) was excellent

2 great lads in the shop make to feel welcome and top food

Thanks to the owner, I had the best breakfast in England so far. Vegetables were served even though they were supposed to be the part of lunch. Thanks again for.your breakfast and extra mile you did for me.

Prices are fair. I have been in twice now and both times the owner is so stressed and chunters under his breath about customers and complaining about them. On my 2nd visit, the way the the owner was speaking to his member of staff was disgraceful and no doubt the young man was embarrassed. Once again moaning about customers and how they all come in at once, well allow me to apologise for coming in for lunchtime 🤣. Also the owner stating that the place is "becoming harder and harder to run". Well maybe you should turn custom away when you've reached your limit. I understand jobs are stressful and working in a kitchen can be even worse but there's ways to go about dealing with stress and moaning about your source of income (customers) and talking to your staff like pieces of s#@t is not the one. I don't like to leave bad reviews but maybe this can be used as a warning or a wake up sign - when 4 customers who don't know each other are chatting about the poor service then you know its not right.

Jason is a very friendly guy, I was surprised that he has Halal food and he made a halal chicken sandwich for only me. The atmosphere is really great and peacefully. I would highly recommend it.

Went on a match day and despite there being a number of other tables and people waiting for take away the service was very attentive and food came promptly. Had two veggie breakfasts which were very generous and also got a portion of their hand cut chips which were absolutely top notch. Would definitely visit again, lovely cafe.

Been visiting ugly mugs for over 12 months now and have considered it a go-to for breakfasts and lunch time meals! Recently joined Jason and the team and couldn’t have felt more welcome, his no nonsense approach to food makes him a joy to work for

Had the polish sausage with onions and a tomato relish, It was fantastic. Highly recommend

Owner is a great guy, very accommodating of dietary requirements! Lovely food, affordable price. Not great that I've discovered this gem around the corner, I'll be there too often now!

If you want to spend an hour on a Sunday listening to the owner complain about the amount of customers and belittle his staff this is the place to go...food was poor...hard unbuttered toast and burnt eggs....wish I had paid stadium prices.

Literally don't know where to begin. The owner was being incredibly strange and uncomfortable towards two of my female friends from literally the moment we walked in. Kept telling them they were 'Fit' but kept mentioning his wife ha and when i asked him a question he said to me 'I wasn't talking to you'. Lol like who does he think he is? When my friend expressed how offended she was, he got the young waitress to apologise on his behalf instead of being a man and doing it himself. Actually such a weird and almost traumatising experience. Will NOT be visiting again

Best guy ever, so friendly and polite. Great food would recommend to anyone.

Very friendly little laugh while waiting for food. Wide range of food on the menu. Not bad for a southerner. Would be back again

Small and cosy cafe with great service.

Went to Ugly Mugs today for lunch. Had chicken and chips. Was lovely. Happy to recommend. Very friendly service too. Well done

Me & my good friend Danny stumbled across this cafe other day...the breakfast & service was bang on. We will be returning with a crew soon. Thank again

Popped in for a quick snack. The service was outstanding and the quality of the meats used was even better! 10/10 would recommend

Lots of options, including vegetarian, at a decent price, served up by a guy who's a good laugh and an even better cook. What every "down to Earth" hipster cafe pretends to be.

Excellent fodder and very friendly service.

In David Lloyd's book "Around the World in 80 Pints" he claims this place serves the best egg and bacon barm cake in the country and he's not wrong! Five stars!

Always friendly and makes the best vege sausage sandwiches, recommend adding the field organic field mushrooms!

Great vegetarian options highly recommend if you’re in the area or watching the cricket

Had the 10 veg and chicken stew, freshly made and looked great. Healthy and hearty. Perfect winter warmer

Great for breakfast or a quick lunch. Huge choice of food at very reasonable prices. Lovely staff team.

Fantastic Sandwich at a decent price and a lovely chat with the owner. Will definitely go back

Great food and great service with a smile

Good food at a good price. Friendly chat from the owner as well!

Love this place.. Great food owner evan offered me a box of eggs for free.. Classic British breakfast.. Fresh food good clean environment would recommend..10 out of 10..

Always happy an always happy to help. Smashing little cafe. Well worth a try if you ant been before. Am sure you wont be disappointed

A great place to fuel up before going to a Test Match at Headingley. The portions are enormous and good value. If it's good enough for ex-England captain Michael Vaughan it's good enough for me.

My husband works locally and popped in for a breakfast. He gets a half hour break. The food took nearly and hour to arrive and was cold .The staff said youd be better ordering on the phone first. He will not be returning and will let the lads on site know not to bother. Ive worked in catering for 30 years and worked in a really busy cafe and would be appalled if my customers were treat this way.

Got more bread than bacon when asked for a bacon barm for £2.20 got a massive barm with 2 tiny peices of bacon on 😒 i advise q'z cafe burley road u dont get ripped off

I walked along to the café before start of cricket play and was out the door in record time with the best sausage and egg sandwich I have had in a while. Staff very helpful and will be going back.
