About Light Cafe

Family-run by the married couple who own it, Light Cafe is a coffee shop on Wellington Road in Leeds, working out of a small room with decor that customers notice. Breakfast anchors what the kitchen does, and the breakfast sandwich is the plate people come back for, with coffee ordered alongside, including a strong option for those who want it. Food is made fresh and comes out shortly after it is ordered, whether that is a full breakfast or just a coffee dropped in for. There is no booking, so orders are placed at the counter as you arrive. The cafe runs Monday to Saturday during the daytime and closes on Sundays. High chairs make it workable for families with young children, and dogs are welcome inside with their owners.

Customer Review Summary

Breakfast is what brings people back, with the breakfast sandwich named most often and described as delicious and crispy, made fresh and served quickly. Close behind is the coffee, called real strong by one visitor and paired by others with a wrap or a plate of sausage, egg and chips that one caller in the early afternoon found cooked to perfection and good value. One diner was surprised to find shakshuka on offer and singled out how beautifully it was presented. Just as often, reviewers talk about the couple who run the place, describing a warm welcome, service with a smile, and a feeling of being treated like family, with several calling it their go to spot for a decent breakfast. Two describe the room as cozy and one notes it is very clean inside. One visitor left with an unasked for extra hash brown from the owners.
