Yum yum, leeds in Leeds

Stayed at Leonards Hotel for two nights as it was my daughter's graduation/birthday. The staff were so friendly and attentive. They acknowledged my daughter's birthday and made her feel special. Turns our 21 year old let them know when ordering. Service was prompt and portions were ample, prices were good, cheaper than the standard hotel breakfast, Illy coffee - great. We were so impressed that the four of us that stayed a second night went back again for another great breakfast! When staying in Leeds again we will definitely pay a visit as the service is fab, the cafe is very clean and prices are very reasonable. Thank you 💗 😊 👌

Excellent quality food, not cheap but worth it. Fast friendly efficent service. Good surroundings. Tricky to find but that makes it all the more exclusive

Just had an XL breakfast without black pudding and fried bread, i was offered alternatives to that included in the price. £14.95 a little pricey for a breakfast but the quality of produce is excellent, and cooked well. Freindly staff, very clean. Excellent!!!

I went here with my friend for brunch before visiting the Royal Armouries, we both had the small English breakfast which was cooked to perfection and the portion size was very generous! The service was quick and the staff were friendly. Very reasonably priced too.

Excellent service and excellent customer service. Friendly staff. Good food . Idea location for students and the general public.

Stopped in for lunch, because, surprisingly, there were so few other places in the immediate area to eat. Two panini and some chips were OK, with a pot of tea - but nothing to go wow. Service was nothing special.

Absolute gem of a place. Gorgeous breakfast and the sausages....yum! Lovely service and staff too. Well recommended.

Can't fault this fabulous café. Lovely cosy atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious, reasonably priced food. Good selection of breakfast and lunch options and the food always arrives promptly. I've been several times and always have a positive experience.

Beautifully tucked away from the city down the canal. A lovely breakfast that has a family/home touch. Felt right at home tucking into my brekkie!!

A fantastic place, breakfast was delicious, staff lovely, great service, a lovely interior & also seating outside! Will definitely be back on our next trip 😊

Lunch with my baby granddaughter. Staff looked after us with highchair etc. No children's menu but enough choices for us both. Both enjoyed our lunch experience.

If I could I would give this 10 stars! The staff are absolutely amazing, the most friendliest and nicest people I have came across. We were staying in the hotel beside this cafe and we came here every morning. The service was amazing, so quick for the food and they had the table waiting for us. They even give us a bit of the cake for free as it was my mummys birthday! I couldnt fault this place and I will definitely be back in the future. I have never met nicer people. The food was absolutely outstanding as well! Honestly 10/10

My boyfriend and I came for lunch whilst visiting the Royal Armouries. I had the chicken, mozzarella and pesto panini and my boyfriend had the beef, cheese and onion relish panini. Both came with a generous portion of chips. Absolutely delicious, I would highly recommend this cafe!! (Please note: in the picture of my boyfriend’s panini he had already eaten half before I took the picture)

Dropped in for breakfast on a wet and snowy morning and were properly looked after with a good breakfast and brew added to by the friendly staff. Easy to miss if coming up from the river even with a sandwich board outside so look left when you come up from the river.

Just what we needed on Sunday morning after a night out! Full English breakfast, very reasonable price, good quality ingredients. Delicious.

Great cafe with excellent staff and service. Really good food with good prices for the location. Would recommend to people visiting Leeds.

A great variety of food options and really good service. This cafe clearly has a good set up when it comes to keeping on top of orders; there was a very large queue when we ordered and our food arrived within about 5 minutes. Would come here again and highly recommend.

Cafe yum has a great varied menu - with good flavours. Indoor and outdoor seating are nice and good options. Unfortunately when I visited, I was served raw halloumi in a panini… maybe it was an off day, but very disappointing.

We visited Yum Yum yesterday for breakfast, was fabulous service and great food! I had the small English and my husband had chorizo and hash! Absolutely gorgeous! Don't bother with the Jurys Inn folks when this little diamond is two minutes away! Shame we had to rush off this morning, was so looking forward to going back .

Great cafe lovely people best breakfast ever. And what’s more an accessible toilet for myself a wheelchair user

I visit regularly it’s not cheap but provide decent quality food and drinks. The owner makes most of his own cakes and they are excellent. Staff really pleasant 5 stars from me.

great little place near my office lovely food and brilliant customer service there chips are some of the best iv had in a while and all my co-workers prefer to spend there money on the food that yum yum makes because its delicious.

We discovered this cafe while wandering around the wharf. The owner is so friendly, we chatted about small business survival (hint: they do much better coffee here than the Sainsbury’s opposite). You can have any combination of breakfast items on a bap, as well as...

Great wee place with indoor and outdoor seating in quiet courtyard. Friendly staff and lovely breakfast of chorizo hash and eggs. Will definitely come here again.

The Leeds Liverpool Canal has seen extensive development over recent years with housing, restaurants and cafes and lovely walks. Brewery Wharf was one such place although with rising rents a number of tenants have pulled out. Shame. Cafe Yumyum remains and if you want it...

Fuimos el domingo con Christine Grandson y su novia, qué lugar tan encantador. Sin embargo, muchas personas lograron conseguir una mesa. Buena selección de desayunos para todos los gustos, desde tradicional hasta cosas nuevas, aguacate y similares. No tardó mucho en ordenar y cuando llegó la comida se veía hermosa. Agradable y caliente sabroso todos disfrutamos. Christine (GF) tenía la tortilla wow. Tenía inglés completo regado con café y zumo de naranja un poco más de 30 no puedo mejorar. Gracias.

Just had a fabulous full English breakfast and a coffee here. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Portion size was generous and the food delicious. Will definitely be back.

Visited for lunch during a trip to the Armouries Museum. Well worth the 5 minute walk along the canal.Good selection of salad and sandwich options and a few cooked lunch mains.Had a chicken chorizo wrap with fries and other member had lasagne or quiche. All meals were generous portions and under £7 with a drink.Staff were efficient and friendly and the place has a nice chilled atmosphere.Would certainly recommend.

have visited twice in the last few weeks with family and on both occasions have had really good food - the staff are welcoming, friendly and accommodating - and you can see they work well together as a team. There is a good selection of breakfast food to choose from and lots of sandwiches etc on the deli menu. The café can be busy due to its popularity which confirms that the food and ambience are good - will be visiting again very soon

Lovely quiet location, lovely food and moderate price! Have been three times for Lunch/Breakfast! Will be going again!

Lovely little breakfast cafe, with excellent service, good coffee, delicious food and friendly staff.

This review goes deep. Im old school Leeds, i like a greasy spoon every now and then. Regretfully the traditional English greasy spoons in leeds have been swallowed up in recent years by the polish supermarkets and ethnic barber shops that stay open until midnight ‍♂️ so finding my guilty pleasure of a fry up is getting harder to enjoy.

I love this cafe - I usually pop in here for a quick breakfast if I’m on my way to the train station and service is always v friendly and quick and the food is tasty! There are so many overhyped breakfast places in Leeds (because they are “insta worthy” or some nonsense like that) but I think this place is massively underrated!

Went for breakfast this morning.. lovely, friendly cafe.. food was beautiful! Will definitely call in again when next in Leeds!

I only come here for the desserts and sweet things nothing else so I wouldn't be able to tell you anything about that. Service is always great and the prices are good.

After an absolute nightmare trying to get there, due to the nearest car park undergoing work and then maps taking us to the wrong place, I’m really glad we persevered! The staff are lovely, even cooking my husband something that’s not on the weekday menu. The food was lovely; great portion sizes and tasty! There’s a really nice atmosphere to the place, too. Will definitely return next time we travel up there.

Spent three days enjoying the breakfast at this cafe - great coffee and food made with love . Staff were friendly and would definitely recommend

Nothing bad to say about this place. Nice vibe on a Sunday late morning with brunch offered. Menu good but maybe a little limited as a lot of dishes are egg focused.

I’ve had lunch here for a fiver at least ten times. Consistently good. Hot food menu changes every day. Highlights have been the vegetable burrito, veggie lasagne, and bean chilli. Their chips are always excellent. The coffee is good too.

Great choices and much better prices than the Jury's Inn hotel next door. All cooked to order and great quality

Tucked away in corner but worth the effort. Small breakfast is sufficient for most, warning they do large and extra large. Clean, good quality ingredients, well cooked and pleasant staff.food prepared to order. Will return..

Excellent service and great coffee as always, dog 🐕 friendly too. Can't recommend yum yum enough if you're in the area 👍

Well a great find wife had pancakes and syrup which were super I had beans on sourdough 3 toast and boy did I need it. All washed down with illy coffee. Thanks guys and good luck.

Had brunch here on a weekend in Leeds with friends. Food and service were excellent. Freshly cooked food, good size portions and reasonably priced.

Was on a weekend break with 6 friends. Stayed in Jurys Hotel but did not want full breakfast. Just around corner from hotel so had breakfast there 3 mornings. All had different breakfasts and each excellent. Good choice weekend menu even better. Great friendly customer service. Well organised. Did not have any cakes but all looked yummy!!!

I was recently working on a project nearby and would dine here at least once a day it's so good. Shaun, Mark and the staff make you feel welcome and make some of the best homemade cakes around especially if you like a bit of booze added to the cake mix. Also they do one of the best Eggs Benedict I've ever had and they serve a great Earl Grey so I couldn't be happier.

cannot fault this place,excellent value, food delicious, service second to none, Went with my family one a vegetarian , no problem finding something for us all really quick service. Wish we were a bit closer so could visit more (Cambridge to Leeds a bit much)

I don't think they are quite sure what a 'Salad' is.

First time here , wow flipping great, will be back again. Delivered breakfast just as I like it, even with the substitutions I requested.

This is my favourite eatery in Leeds. My daughter lives close by so I often pop in when I visit her. It is very reasonably priced; and whether you go for the fancy breakfast, or good old full English; you won't be disappointed. They also do a cracking Sunday lunch.

What a great find this place is.A party of ten of us were having a girly weekend in Leeds.We all met up in here for a late breakfast on the Sunday morning.Lovely atmosphere and very welcoming staff.A very different and varied menu.

Top marks to the staff and managment.

Great value for money cafe. Staff nice and friendly. Should recommend the XL breakfast. It really is XL.

We've just had a small breakfast, eggs Benedict and eggs royale.....absolutely faultless. Finished off with a cracking cappuccino. Highly recommended. Busy little spot but well worth the short walk from the armouries.

Este es el tipo de cafetería que visita los viernes a la hora del almuerzo y disfruta de una deliciosa comida casera y cálida. Fromm burritos a lasaña a apilados - hamburguesas. . . La comida siempre es deliciosa. También hacen ensalada y sándwiches, todos disponibles para comer y llevar. Con algunos postres muy buenos y una gran selección de bebidas de estilo americano (incluyendo cervezas y sidra). El mejor lugar para comer en los alrededores.

Esta joya escondida en el centro de la ciudad junto al canal es el lugar perfecto para el desayuno de verano.

Don’t use the toilet and you’ll be fine. I’m glad I went after my food as it would definitely have put me off. Had eggs benedict with bacon which was lovely. It was just a real shame.

first time here today the staff were excellent very friendly the cakes were absolutely gorgeous we all said will be back very soon

Spotted on the way to The Royal Armouries. What a great little place. The scrambled egg on toast was perfectly cooked and plentiful. We also had small breakfasts that were tasty & very good coffees. We had Brownies to takeaway that we thoroughly enjoyed on the train journey home. Will definitely return when next in Leeds.

This was the only place open in early morning in Leeds dock and perfect choice to stop by. Omlete was huge and so tasty! Definitely will come back soon!

Another great lunch. Fantastic food and coffee. Excellent service and great value for money. I would never go anywhere else in Leeds now. Breakfast is also fantastic.

We called at Yum Yum cafe during a bike ride around Leeds. My friend had a bacon and egg sandwich, I chose a small breakfast and we both had coffees. The flat white I had was the best I've had for ages. The quality of the breakfast was great too, with only the small size of the sausage a point to quibble about. All in all a great cafe, with lots of interesting things on the menu, excellent Coffee and friendly staff. We will be back.

We are regular visitors to Café Yum Yums. The cakes are always good, home made with lots of different ingredients, very filling and perfect for a sugar fix in the middle of a bike ride. The coffees are also excellent. The staff are always friendly.

Amazing cakes and fantastic service every single visit. Its so clean and inviting. Lovely friendlyvenviroment with great food. It just cant be faulted

First time here and was really impressed. Warmly welcomed as we walked through the door which was a great start. Lovely modern interior and spotlessly clean. Good choice of hot tasty looking meals and a sandwich bar. I had mixed bean burrito with chips and...

Went after the gym for some refuel on a Saturday. It was really good I'm only not putting a 5 star because my chosen dish was called "hash browns" but it wasn't but still was delicious. Good service and smiley staff.And loved the Christmas decorations!

Just been to cafe yum yum for the first time and the experience was exceptional. Breakfast was fantastic and the coffee was superb. Will definitely be going back.

Very nice cafe located in Brewery Wharf, clean tidy decor and a very good breakfast selection. I had the Small English, excellent value money. Friendly staff too. Will be back!

Came here with my boyfriend for some lunch... It was great from start to finish! Smiley, friendly staff. All I...

Me and my girlfriend had lunch today at Yum Yum, both had a sandwich and drinks. Tasty food, fast service and very friendly attentive staff. They even accommodated my request for something that wasn't on the menu. We will be returning next time in the area.

Dined here during the week in between business meetings. Very fast service and excellent home cooked food. Illy coffee served just how it should be.

What a hidden gem of a cafe. Went for breakfast today it was excellent really good value and excellent customer service. We will be returning soon.

This was my first visit to yum yum and it certainly won't be my last. The first thing to note was the service, friendly, welcoming and professional. There is an excellent choice on the lunch menu, I'm guessing all made on the premises, I went for the Cheese & Bacon Burger, it was faultless, perfectly cooked and juicy. The place was full inside and out, so I would recommend getting in early to ensure getting a seat. I will be back.

This cafe/sandwich shop has been under new management for a few weeks and has got downhill fast. Sandwiches have less filling and lots of over-priced cakes and drinks have been added. The long lunchtime queues have disappeared and so it seems a lot of other people don't like the changes either. Apparent greed can quickly spoil a small local business.

This morning me and my colleagues had a bacon sandwich for our breakfast from 'Yum Yum's. Due to the location it is a 1 minute walk from my office and in an idea location next to many other offices and apartments. For the price of £2.70 for a bacon sandwich (which is fairly reasonable) you would expect to receive more than 2 small rashers of bacon in your bacon butty! But no, they spared no expense when providing the sandwich. For an extra 5 minute walk, use Google Maps to walk around the corner to Cranberrys. Lovely sandwich.

I have never seen something so useless. A man serving food had one hand with a glove and one without. Touching food with the hand with no glove. Utterly pointless. I couldn't watch and didn't even finish my drink. I had to leave. My partner didn't even get asked if he wanted anything. Just utterly useless people. Also they left a mop and bucket with dirty water, in he toilets. Right next to me when I used to loo. Just left in there.

Ideal for the hungover or those in needed of a good feed. The staff here are all warm and friendly and very accommodating. The food is spot on and loads of choice from breakfasts, deli style lunch and Sunday roasts. My only criticism is that when busy the tables don't get cleared at all and it feels like they need an extra pair of hands on a weekend. That's what happens when you are good and popular I guess

Yum Yum is 5 minutes from my office, and conveniently on my to the office from the train (with a minor detour!).You can choose from a range of great fresh sandwiches, made to order in front of you off the specials menu or bespoke. I've never got to these though, because my eye is always captured by the range of fresh & homemade hot meals at the start of the counter. Burritos, wraps, hot baguettes, lasagne and more. I've never been disappointed! Plus you can throw in some indian sides if you like - bhajis etc.Everything is either brought to your table to ready to take away.The value for money is amazing as well. Sandwiches c. £3, hot meals c. £4 or a fiver with chips.Great range of homemade cakes if you're still not full. Massive range of hot and cold drinks, non-alcoholic and alcoholic bottles (craft beers!). And I haven't even started on breakfast, which is great! But this is a lunch review. I might do another.....

Breakfast is cheap and gets the job done.Shame that they only do certain items at the weekend or at bank holidays

Went here for a full English after a night out in Leeds and was very good value and a lovely breakfast, staff were very friendly and service was quick which was a surprise due to there being 17 of us! Highly recommend

Best fry up I have had in Leeds - and I've had my fair share. They manage to strike the balance between value, volume and quality really well. The normal breakfast is perfect size but if you aren't that hungry they do a smaller version for £3.50 which is amazing value and even the XL is great at about £7.50. Not greasy (for a fry up) and very quick service. Really nice coffee, very nice atmosphere and comfortable. Gets busy but not to the point where it's annoying, and the outside bit is good if the sun is out. I live about 3-4 miles away in North Leeds and this place is worth the drive for the breakfast.

Went here for breakfast one morning after a night out in leeds and was pleasantly surprised. We were greeted by a lovely lady behind the counter who took our order swiftly. We both had a standard breakfast which was delicious. All the food was a very good quality and arrived hot. We both had a pot of tea each. Cost was very reasonable for a city centre. Would highly recommend

Pretty nice hot food, for a good price too. Can get very busy a lunch and can take up to 15 minutes to order, not the best when in a rush. But pretty value for your money!

Came across this while walking from my hotel in the city Center to the Armoury museum. Excellent English breakfast at a reasonable price. Took a while but they were packed (which is usually a good sign!)Cooked the nicest black pudding I've ever tasted!

Friendly staff and great service. :) I had English breakfast but next time I definitely try their pancake as it looked amazing .

Husband has just got back from a stag weekend and Breakfast was fantastic at the Yum Yum. Food was cooked to order and staff were really good.

This place was good once, but after several poor experiences, I stopped eating here. I decided to give it another chance the other day, but sadly, it has gone even further downhill. I ordered beans on toast, which was a lukewarm dollop of beans sitting next to 2 pieces of thin supermarket white bread toast. My friend ordered a bacon and egg sandwich, which he was unable to eat, the egg looked like it had been fried last week and heated in the microwave. The coffee (advertised as Illy coffee) was so thin and watery that we both left it, it was foul. A shame. I hope they pull their socks up here, but it's been poor for a long time now, and I don't think I'll be going back.

Brilliant little restaurant - would highly recommend. Breakfasts are excellent value for money and all food is of highest quality. Staff friendly, polite and helpful.

Great place to have lunch with a group or on your own (like me). Lots of choice both hot and cold food and very responsibly priced. I had a hot Thai Chick wrap with chips for £4.95. Very nice! Specials chnage daily but they have set items too such as sandwiches and salads etc.
