About Freshly Made Cafe
Freshly Made Cafe is a daytime cafe at 42 Aberford Rd in Leeds, open Monday to Saturday and closed Sundays. Breakfast runs from the Full English Breakfast to a smaller breakfast option, with sausage, egg, bacon and beans on toast among the items. Toasties and sandwiches fill out the menu, including a chicken sandwich served in naan bread, which gives the sandwich list a option built on a different bread. Lattes and other coffee drinks sit alongside the food, and the counter staff ask whether you want sugar when you order.

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is what reviewers raise most, and the verdict is mostly negative. Several describe the sausage as cheap, rubbery, dry or frozen, the bacon as undercooked even when ordered well done, and eggs that were overcooked or raw. One reviewer on beans on toast and a toastie found the food just okay. Coffee comes close behind, described as bland, revolting or tasting of sweetener, and one reviewer says the lattes appeared to be made from sachet mixes rather than fresh coffee and reports a hair in the beans. Sandwiches split opinion. A chicken sandwich in naan bread was praised for plenty of chicken, while a ham salad sandwich and a beef salad sandwich were each criticised for a single slice of meat. Several reviewers say the till price did not match the board or felt too high for what arrived. A couple of reviewers like the atmosphere and the staff, and one calls the breakfast lovely with reasonable prices. One reviewer left the sausage and egg uneaten and went elsewhere.

“Asked for well done Bacon and its still under cooked, cheap sausages, so I tried a beef salad sandwich and it only had one thin slice off beef in it. Really disappointing.”
- Kevin Timony
“My breakfast was lovely. Great staff tbh and prices are reasonable”
- royal phil
“Small breakfast £6.50 and a cup of Coffee £3.50 which was a shock. The sausage was quite clearly very cheap as it was like rubber trying to eat it. The egg was over cooked and the bacon under cooked. I will definitely not be going back there. £6.50 for one of the worst breakfasts ive had and a coffee that was ok, but £3.50 was scandalous.”

“Eggs were raw, bacon was crap, terrible breakfast. Terrible coffee that costs my rent equivalent”
- Louise Firth
“Food was OK but coffee was revolting! One of us had beans on toast and one of us had a toastie. The beans meal was served several minutes before the toastie and the drinks came after that although they weren't worth waiting for. I thought it odd to be asked if I wanted sugar in the lattes when I ordered (I didn't) but when the drinks arrived they tasted sweet. I couldn't drink mine and as we watched the server making other people's drinks we realised they were not freshly brewed coffee made with milk but dried "sachet" concoctions! Not only was this extortionate at £3.50 but could have been dangerous for someone with diabetes or an allergy. Disappointing.”
