About Ben's cafe Hunslet Road
Ben's cafe Hunslet Road keeps spam sandwiches on its menu at 207 Hunslet Rd in Leeds, with a spam and tomato among the fillings for anyone wanting something beyond the usual sandwich board. Wraps run alongside, with a chicken wrap arriving with a portion of chips, and the cooked breakfast side covers a full English along with bacon sandwiches. Coffee is served through the day. A refurbishment added more seats, leaving plenty of tables indoors plus a separate seating area outside for customers who prefer to eat in the open air. High chairs are on hand for families with young children. No booking is taken, so orders go in at the counter and customers take a table as they find one. The cafe runs Monday to Friday in the daytime and stays closed at weekends, which fits weekday lunch breaks for people working nearby.

Customer Review Summary
Sandwiches and wraps piled with filling draw the most comment, with the spam sandwiches, a chicken wrap and the mixed wraps with a portion of chips singled out by name, and one group of regulars from a nearby workplace describing a standing pay day order for the "Nasty wrap". Close behind is the coffee, praised as a hot latte at the right strength and as decent filter coffee, while one diner calls the full English among the best breakfasts they have had in years and another says the same of the bacon sandwich. Several describe the staff and the owner as friendly, and mention lots of choice and good value. The main dissent comes from one reviewer who found a spam and tomato sandwich wafer thin with barely a teaspoon of tomato, rating the bread the only decent part. Others note the refurbished room with more seats, clean tables inside and out, and parking at the side.
