You guys are the best ! Travelled over from the dark side (Yorkshire) for lunch with family Just the nicest/friendliest cafe to visit If Leeds get promoted, we’ll be over more !!

My wife and I called in for mid-day meal on a Saturday as we had not been here to eat for some time. We were shown to a table for two after a short five minute wait as we had not booked a table. We were going to chose from their very good sandwich menu but then we saw that they wee still doing breakfasts and so switched to them - we had one small breakfast and one medium one together with a decaf tea and a latte coffee. The staff were friendly, especially Phoenix as we amended our order a few times but he smiled and just got on with being very personable. The breakfasts were very good: tasty, juicy sausages, crisp bacon, nicely fried eggs, tomato and mushroom with hash brown and thick crunch toast. The hot drinks were good too and so it was a most enjoyable midday lunch. The bill came to £24.85, so £27.50 with a tip. Well worth a visit.

Leaf had untapped potential, but unfortunately, it’s been let down by inconsistent management and a lack of connection with the local community. The food is average for the price, and the atmosphere leans more towards a tea-drinking crowd rather than the lively, inclusive community pub it could be. Social media engagement is minimal, which doesn’t help attract or retain patrons. Repeatedly disappointing experiences have been disheartening, especially for the staff, who are clearly trying their best under challenging circumstances. With such a prime location and a fantastic beer garden, it’s frustrating to see it failed to resonate with locals within walking distance. Hopefully, someone with a better vision and understanding of the community will step in to revive its potential, ideally in time for summer when the outdoor space can shine.

The girls behind the bar really nice and helpfull. Lovely atmosphere
