  “Really weird vibe with the male staff member. He was super cold and unfriendly. Having checked other reviews, I can see this is a recurring problem. Cinnamon roll tasted old and stale and to top it off they also decided to shut 1.5 hours before closing time. Also requesting tips when you know you’re being rude/providing poor service is so weird. The hype is really just for the aesthetic but once you experience the service and quality of food/drinks how can anyone be a returning customer.”

  “Sonder is an absolute gem of a coffee shop. It may be small, but that's part of its charm. I honestly love everything about it – from the beautiful décor and cosy atmosphere to the stylish cups and attention to detail throughout. It has such a welcoming feel and is the perfect place to sit and enjoy a great coffee. The drinks are excellent, the service is friendly, and it's clear that a lot of care has gone into creating such a lovely space. If you're looking for a cosy independent café in Leeds,”

  “This cafe is a hidden gem. The space itself is so unique. It is absolutely stunning and incredibly well thought out. I especially loved the dark, moody vibes downstairs. Both members of staff on the day were helpful, attentive and welcoming. As for the drinks, the honeycomb latte and banoffee matcha were both lovely!”

  “Sonder is a cozy café in Leeds Grand Arcade with lovely decor, making it a nice spot to hang out and relax. While I wasn't a fan of the coffee taste (it was a bit too light for my liking) the presentation was on point, served in a nice cup with perfect latte art. It is worth a try!”

  “What a beautiful little coffee shop. This place is absolutely stunning. The coffee and pastry were delicious and really fresh. The interior is beautiful with handmade homeware pieces that you can purchase. There is also loads of seating downstairs, which is really handy. Definitely recommend coming here if you’re looking for a nice coffee in Leeds.”

  “One of the most aesthetically pleasing cafes in leeds!!! They make really good chai and you can really tell the staff are passionate about their job:) Great to get work done of to read a book. The only con I’d say would be that they close at 4 pm and the downstairs is not really accessible but otherwise 10/10”

  “Comfy place to hang out with friends! I’ve been here three times already, just to enjoy the vibe and try the daily specialties. Never disappointed whenever I visit. Sometimes it gets a bit crowded, but it still feels calm and the service is quite fast. As a customer, I can say that all the drinks and specialty pastries are a must-try, they’re so good and reasonably priced! What I love the most is the interior design, so Instagrammable! The place isn’t big, but it’s unique and cozy.”

  “Tucked away at Grand Arcade, @sonderleeds this dreamy café blends retro × Japanese minimalism—aka interior goals. A perfect mix for coffee lovers and design enthusiasts. The space is cosy, creative, and full of character—great for us to relax and get inspired. 💚💚 We went for a flat white and a Biscoff latte (a special drink at the moment). The espresso beans are from Newground Coffee in Brazil—a smooth and rich profile with hazelnut, raisin, and milk chocolate notes. The plant-based pastries here are lovely too. 🥐🍪 Sadly, the pistachio croissant was already sold out by midday🥹 We’ll definitely be going earlier next time! By fishenjoylife”

  “We came for breakfast a few Sundays ago and it did not disappoint! I’ve been following them on Instagram since they opened, but not had the opportunity to visit! It was busy, but we got seats outside; although not outside as such, as it’s inside the arcade. The coffees and croissants were delicious!! The croissants are generously sized and tasted fab. Loved the crockery that they came in too!! There’s plenty of seats inside and in the lower floor. Looking forward to coming back again!”
