  “Arrived today with friends (June 12th) at around 4:30pm as we waited to have a chat and some food at a local small place. The venue was quiet which was a good comparison compared to my past visits where it had been super loud, and there were plenty of seats available. We browsed the menu hungry and holing for food- the menu was basic in a more than perfect way as there’s always something for everyone, but when we went to order at 4:30 was told the kitchen had already been closed. We were sad and frustrated as we hadn’t eaten and were hungry, and assumed the kitchen was open till closing at 6pm as there has never been any information on the menus or website to say when the kitchen closes. Even more frustrating is that this isnt the first time this has happened which leads me to the question do the staff just not open the kitchen on some days- and if so, what’s the point of having a menu that serves items if the kitchen stays closed. We were surprised as although yes it was past lunchtime, but was close to dinner time so assumed the kitchen would be still open to order from. It’s very sad as it seems the shop just keeps making more and more errors- I used to frequent this place when there was a bunch of events on, but now the last year and maybe a little the events have been at a minimum. They removed the open mic night completely from their agenda, and replaced it with stand up comedy, it just seems clear they’d prefer to cater to old people than the younger crowds as well, and if I can’t get food and coffee at times I should be able to get it because the kitchens always closed, I don’t see a reason to keep coming unless I only explicitly need a coffee. I really wish this place picks up and starts to get better again, or something positive changes for them in the future, and I hope this review is taken to consideration in the future and they put something in place on the menu or website to tell people the opening and closing times of the kitchen, or have it open in line with the opening and closing times of the shop as it can really dampen plans for guests who would have probably chosen elsewhere if they’d have known the kitchen wasn’t open”

  “My 16 year old daughter had a very enjoyable brunch/lunch here today. I ordered the apple and cinnamon porridge and Molly ordered a tuna melt on sourdough. Both were delicious 😋 The atmosphere and service were both great and vibe welcoming, relaxed and inclusive. I particularly liked the well stocked book swap and my daughter appreciated the range of toiletries in the ladies! Highly recommend. We will return 😃”

  “What a delightful place this is, delicious coffee and a variety of cakes to enjoy, also you can choose a book or 2 to read from their little library section and upon returning the books, you can bring extra books that you have to add to their library for others to enjoy... Such a great, fun, and relaxing place..”

  “Lovely welcoming coffee and food shop in Leeds city centre. Suitable for all with a few people on their own reading books. There is a book swap section which we found cool. The decor is vibration and fun, yet the atmosphere was happy and relaxed so good to take a relaxing stop! Reasonable prices, with a good selection of coffees, teas, cakes and free WiFi. Worth a visit if you’re after an inviting independent coffee shop.”

  “Lovely place with friendly staff, freshly baked pastries and amazing matcha latte! They do have plant based milk options and several syrups, also LGBTQ+ friendly. Very vibrant place with modern design, they even have books you can borrow to read! Truly recommend!”

  “It looks dark from outside, but from inside it is good and surprisingly bright. There are so many different seats that you can find and sit on the one you find the most comfortable. Although I am not a very fan of queer, I do feel comfortable here and would recommend anyone to have a coffee here. I see here is a good place for meeting friends or having a cup of coffee and a short break before the next activity.”
