About Marcels

Marcels is a cafe on Meanwood Road in Leeds where the breakfast menu runs wider than usual, putting goat curry alongside the full English so a morning order can go in either direction. Plates come out large, which suits anyone making breakfast the main meal of the day. The kitchen works daytime hours only, and the doors open daily. There is no booking system, so customers arrive and take a table as they find one, and the same man handles the serving and hosting throughout. High chairs are kept on hand for families arriving with young children.

Customer Review Summary

The owner's warmth is what reviewers raise most, described again and again as friendly, positive and kind, with several calling him a genuine host and crediting him with speedy service. The food follows close behind: the goat curry draws specific praise, one diner pairing it with a full English that a companion found equally delicious, while breakfasts are singled out for generous, huge portions, including an early morning stop taken to beat the traffic. Others point to the spread of veggie options and a gluten free sandwich selection. Most call the prices reasonable or cheap, though one disagrees outright, describing a decentish breakfast that was not good value for money. Smaller gripes cluster around comfort, namely uncomfortable seats and a radio slightly too loud, and one reviewer notes no wheelchair access. Several describe the place as clean and simple, with drinks and sandwiches brought out to the table.
