The Best Cafes in Adel, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom (2025)

Highly recommended 😋👌🏻 Alexander catered for my grandma's 90th Birthday party last week at Adel social club and every single guest from the 8 year olds to the 95 year olds all commented on how delicious the food was! Alex even prepared a generously portioned separate meal for my father with special dietary requirements (vegan with additional food sensitivities) and my dad was really impressed! He arrived on time to lay out the food before the party and then came back after to clear away what was left before the end of our use of the venue, with such friendly and helpful service every step of the way! Thanks so much! As well as the deli, if you need event catering - Alexander is your guy! 👍🏻

This place is an absolute gem. Tried it just before Xmas and now will be a regular customer. Tried loaded fries with buffalo sauce, excellent. Then my partner and I tried poutine which was plentiful and lathered in gravy alongside a tuna melt bagel. We were stunned how big it was, absolutely stuffed with filling. Today, tried Philly Cheese bagel (pictured) and it was massive and contained a ton of pastrami. It fell apart because it had so much filling but a messy meal has it's own charm. We're buzzing that we live close to it... gunna try everything on the menu!

We ordered delivery for the first time today and honestly it was absolutely banging. The doubled up breakfast sandwich was huge-usually when we get breakfast sandwiches the bacon is always a letdown, undercooked and greasy but this was literally cooked to perfection! Crispy bacon in our breakfast sandwiches! Love it! All our food was absolutely gorgeous. We have ordered from other local places for sarnies and paid double the price, Alexanders absolutely smashed them out of the park. Well impressed, will be back!

Got a tuna salad, crisps, carrot cake all very nice 😋 chips good. Nice inside and staff very friendly, will try eating in next time

Delicious Caribbean food along with much traditional home town fare. The Staff and Owner are quite Delicious too 😋

Very tasty authentic Caribbean dishes especially the goat curry. It is not too oily and the accompanying steamed veg and rice is really good. Pleasant and kind staff. Will be back!

Good hearty homemade Caribbean grub! Decent portions and value for money. Good vibes and friendly service. 🤌

Hadn't tried Caribbean food before but saw this place and called in for lunch. Very helpful staff who made suggestions. Ended up having curried goat, curried chicken, rice and peas, dumplings, mac and cheese, plantain and coleslaw between two of us. Food was delicious and the portions were generous. Will definitely be back.

Went yesterday for Mothers Day. There were two sittings, with us being on the second sitting. The change over was pretty noisy and a bit chaotic, but once that was sorted things quietened down a lot. The Staff were really lovely. Really friendly and worked their socks off as it was so busy. Nothing was too much trouble for them at all. The Food was lovely too. Three course Mothers Day special for around £12. I had Yorkshire puddngs for starter which were lovely. Lamb with veg for mains and a lemon posset with shortbread for dessert. Every bit of it was lovely, with the dessert being my absolute favourite of the day. Bottle of wine were very reasonably priced too. Not like some places charging you £40 for a £12 bottle. A nice bottle here was £14. The main question is would I come back? I absolutely would. Lovely food at a very reasonable price. Many Thanks

Thank you to the ladies at Ida Lodge for organising and providing a fabulous afternoon tea for me and my beautiful sister's, daughter in law's and grandaugher to celebrate my 70 birthday. This was one of the nicest afternoon teas I have had and a wonderful surprise. Thank you girls I love you all to bits. We can happily recommend.

One of the best breakfasts I have had for a while definitely worth a trip to try one and very good on price

Great place for a family meal and occasion. Great food, prices, and very friendly service. Went on Mother's Day.... highly recommended!

Edit** visited again (on a Saturday ~10am) and managed to bag the last almond croissant! It was absolutely divine. The filling was perfectly sweet, the exterior was crusty but the middle was soft. So good! Definitely a treat. This is my favourite almond croissant I've had so far in my quest. I tried the iced latte this time as well and that was delicious as well. Partner enjoyed his pan au chocolate. Will definitely be back Came here for an almond croissant, but unfortunately they'd run out by the time we got there (~11am Saturday). Instead we got a regular croissant and some coffee. They have limited outdoor seating, and it was raining so we took everything to-go. The croissant was lovely. I always brace for disappointment when I order an oat latte and it comes in a big latte cup, however this was the first time that I've ordered one like that and the coffee is still nice and strong. Loved the coffee, will be back again some day and hopefully get to try the almond croissant (I'm on a quest to find my favourite one).

Probably the best organic food you could find in the whole of Leeds! Everything made in this little place is made with 100% pure love! Great place to buy local fruit, veg, bread, milk, eggs, tea, coffee......take your reusable bag- these guys don’t deal with single use plastics!!!!

Amazing coffee and great bakes. We also buy local honey from them. There is no much place to sit but could be perfect for take away or if the weather is good to sit outside.

Quirky cafe selling organic vegetables, savoury pastries, brownies to die for and great coffee. There is no sign and it doesn't look like it's high quality, but all the products we've tried have been amazing and the locals all know about this place. It's a little hidden down Weetwood Lane, but definitely worth a trip. Lots of Parking here, but we walked. Staff are super friendly too :)

It’s been a while since my last visit !! I was invited to a meeting taking place in the “sunshine “ room and I knew from my last visit that this must be further work in progress! I parked outside and the first thing I noted was that the old entrance had been filled in . I was directed around the side of the building and up a gently sloping wide ramp to another large entrance. There are railings all the way up the ramp for safety and help for mobility . It also prevents a drop onto the old steps too. The new doorway is double glazed sliding doors and leads into a corridor. Situated here too is a disabled toilet 🚾 wheelchair Accessible and fitted with visual impairment handrails too . To my right a large double door leading into the “sunshine” room . It was a very sunny day and the room was bathed with light even with the blinds closed ! Very appropriate name . This was the meeting room today and also in an alcove is a very modern little kitchenette. A good sized meeting room without crazy acoustics !! All floors flat and level and no trip hazards! A real jewel in the crown of the LS16 community . Still work to do outside and the bees 🐝 were busy in the parts that had been cleared and planted .

Great place to visit, so welcoming and friendly it is like you have been a friend for years even if it is your first visit. They have something going on every day, from lunches where you an get a warm meal to games afternoons where you can meet new friends and have a laugh. They also have nurses dropping in to help with any bandage dressing you may require and advise on any health problems. To many events to list so recommend looking on their website, which is something they also help with. Highly recommended.

This place is a real little gem in the community. Since buying the old run down pub it used to house there has been a huge transformation. The cafe is really welcoming, plenty of space, kids corner, fully accessible. There is a car park at the rear, bus stop across the road (no 6 and 19) and Horsforth train station isn't far either. No excuse not to go and visit! Amazing staff, friendly atmosphere, really good selection of food (the cake!!!) and great coffee! As you can probably tell, I rather like it!!

We ladies met as a group here to knit & crochet, chat & eat & what a lovely space to meet at! The drinks & food were all fabulous, tasty & hot. Extremely good value for money & how friendly were the staff!? We felt like old friends 😃 Perfect! Just perfect!

York Gate is a delightful one-acre Grade II National Heritage Garden created by the Spencer family. It delights with a succession of linked gardens (or "rooms"as they are known) which take their design inspiration from the Arts and Crafts movement and were developed thanks to the horticultural skills of its owner Sybil Spencer and developed between 1951 and 1994. Each individual "room" has its own beauty and interest, with a wealth of plants, shrubs and trees, some immediately recognisable, others much more exotic! There are several water features and unusual structures and stonework, a meadow with beehives plus varied and intricate pathways linking the different "rooms". I was fortunate to visit as part of a National Trust garden volunteer's group and had the benefit of a guided tour given by the affable and knowledgeable Head Gardener, who explained how the garden has evolved and continues to do so. There is also a cafe, shop and plant nursery on the site. It is most definitely worth a visit and cannot fail to impress and inspire!

A truly magical gem that surprises and delights. One of the most peaceful and restorative spaces I've had the pleasure to spend time in. This place couldn't fail to bring joy to all who visit. The sheer pleasure of being immersed in such a tranquil space can be seen on the faces of every single volunteer. It's a little escape from the hustle and bustle of life beyond the gate.

An absolute hidden gem! One of the most beautiful garden to visit in Yorkshire!! Plenty of interest everywhere you looked. There’s lots of different areas to wander and seating in places to marvel at the fantastic handiwork. The cafe had seating both inside and out with a good selection of food and drink. Plenty of parking spaces alongside a gift shop and plant nursery. Highly recommend visiting if you love gardens!!!

Visited the garden on 3rd September. Although it only has limited parking we had no problems finding a space. We were greeted at the entrance by a friendly and informative guide who gave us a brief overview of the gardens and amenities. As it was close to lunchtime the first stop was the cafe. This has a large seating both inside and in the garden. The food was good, we both had Paninies which were very good and at a good price. The facilities are spotlessly clean. You can visit the cafe without having to pay entry to the garden. The garden although is only 1 acre the design crams in so many small gardens and walkways it seems so much larger. The planting and hard landscaping is wonderful and is well worth the visit. Price is £7 which is very reasonable and even better is part of the gardeners world 2 for 1 ticket offer. The annual price is also a very cheap option at only .£30. There is also a shop and also plant sales again at reasonable prices. I would highly recommend a visit

I came here for the Turkish breakfast which I recommend. Nice seating outside which is great when weather is sunny. Decor is very nice with indoor seating if you prefer.

A lovely place with lovely coffee. The only place where they don’t put sugar in the mocha while they make it, but give you the choice to put it yourself. Brilliant. Food was great as well. Nice Mediterranean feel to it.

Great food, great service. We live close and will definitely be returning! It was also lovely and cosy after walking there in the sludge!

Warm friendly atmosphere! And the gent serving had a great smile! Highly recommended for breakfast!

What a lovely spot! Amy was incredibly friendly and their coffee is excellent. The place itself is perfect for anyone wanting a casual drink with friends in a welcoming seating area, or if you want to book out their meeting rooms for a more private space. 5 stars ⭐️

As well as a cosy cafe experience, Red Bean offers meeting rooms, very convenient for business meetings. Staff very friendly & helpful. Excellent service. Food is standard cafe fare.

Awesome place, friendly & welcoming staff, best coffee I’ve ever had,

The owner is so lovely and very friendly, the environment is so cosy which makes it perfect for me to do my work there nearly daily.

This beautiful little place offers the finest Italian food I have ever eaten. I have been all over this country, the mediteranian and the world. No competition! Marco who is from the paradise Island of Sardinia, who we have known for many years is simply fantastico! His family, brought up in North Leeds complement the amazing family atmosphere. You cannot fault the friendliness, the food and the service! Magnifico to you Marco and your totally amazing family, Andreà and Sara for the constant warmth and hospitality you have shown us here in Adel . God bless you all!

They offer the full menu via delivery and the pizza is amazing. The toppings are quality and the dough is lovely. We’ve eaten in and it was great but for a delivery I reckon it can’t be beat. Blows Rudy’s and Ecco out of the water.

Great little Italian restaurant. Good basic menu with pizzas, pasta and some more traditional Italian mains. But tbh we all ordered from the specials board, so if they haven't got something on the main menu don't be put off. It was fish heavy. Which I love and I went with the lobster ravioli but it was nearly the halibut with butter sauce. The desserts were lovely too. I heard the bread and butter pudding ( not so Italian) was amazing but my tiramisu hit the spot. Bran dy after and a tad over £100 for 2 starters, 3 mains 3 desserts and glass of wine and 4 soft drinks. Will definitely visit again. Lovely staff, really lovely feeling to the place.

Fantastic place to visit and so lucky to be local! Always fantastic beers on draught and served by such lovely people. The food is delicious and very grateful they’re offering Niko’s full time! If you’re passing or if you’re a local, well worth a visit!

Great little bar! An absolute must visit and they have GF lager which is fab. Also super exciting that Niko’s is now there serving food - also accommodate Gluten Free and is delicious!!

Lived in Adel 30 years & we needed this. Credit to the team for taking the risk and doing it. Now down to us/Adel to support protect and enjoy it. Since set up, they’ve had a) Lawnswood MK2 & b) the other bar to contend with. I don’t see either as competition since I’d not go there. Allowing dogs is a good gives an excuse most nights - Jeske loves it. Thursday night Lasagna was lovely. Cosy place good food, nice beer. Excellent staff 10/10

Fantastic warm, friendly, dog friendly bar with excellent selection of ales. Really lovely atmosphere. Recommend!
