About Corner House Cafe
Breakfast leads the menu at Corner House Cafe, a cafe on Tong Rd in Leeds where the full English comes with a choice of black pudding, spam or hash brown, so diners build the plate the way they want it. Toast and beans come alongside, and beans turn up with other plates too. Sandwiches fill out the rest of the board, including a bacon and cheese salad. The counter takes walk-ins rather than bookings, and orders can be eaten in or packed up to take away for eating off site. A step-free entrance means visitors with mobility needs can get in without a kerb or stair, and high chairs are on hand for families with young children. The kitchen runs daytime hours every day of the week.

Customer Review Summary
The full English breakfast is what draws most reviewers here, described as a proper greasy spoon done without the greasiness, with one calling the tomatoes perfect and another the whole plate authentic and perfectly cooked. Close behind is the friendly, welcoming counter service several praise, along with takeaway orders and other plates like steak pie with chips and beans. The complaints are frequent enough to sit alongside the praise. Several describe food they could not eat, bacon so black and rock solid it went straight in the bin, burnt toast, cold beans, and bland black pudding, and one longtime critic says three visits ended with the meal binned each time. One reviewer reports being served mouldy bread with a full English and losing their appetite entirely. Another, a contractor stopping in on a work trip, found the woman taking the order frosty and unwelcoming. A few also note the choice between black pudding, spam or hash brown as a hard one, and one regular mentions hearing the place was being sold.

“I ordered 2 sandwiches with bacon and the bacon was black and rock solid couldn’t even eat it and had to go straight in the bin”

“When there and bought a full English and a cheese salad sandwich for my old man got toast with the English and I kid you not the bread was moldy lost my appetite then threw the lot away felt like puking back out what I had already eaten followed by the picture before”
- Craig Cunliffe
“It’s a greasy spoon type cafe with food to match but priced accordingly. Full breakfast was decent for the price except the bland black pudding. I was one of only two customers at 9.30am on a weekday.”
- Marcin Majchrzak
