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

Incredible food- menu changes more or less every week and there’s a set menu that can be adapted for allergies/requirements. Really small place with great service and a good range of natural wines. 100% recommend!

Went on a Saturday for the set menu with and added cheese course and suggested wines. Service was relaxed and friendly, and pacing of each course was just right- neither waiting too long or feeling rushed. All the food was well presented, and I particularly enjoyed the lamb main. Will be coming back!

What an incredible place. Beautifully cooked, seasonal menu with the most wonderful wine pairings to run alongside. Everything felt so thoughtful and intentional. Excellent service from friendly, knowledgeable staff. To top it off, it is also incredibly reasonably priced. I think about the time I had at Hern regularly and I cannot wait to go back for more.

Attended this fine establishment for a meal out with my beautiful girlfriend. Celebrating 5 years of our relationship and 5 years of Hern. The food was delicious as always. The Beurre Blanc was notably exquisite.

Perfect little coffee spot located just off the stainburn area. The coffee was smooth and served promptly, with the staff being friendly and attentive. Would reccomendation to anyone looking for a coffee and bite to eat in the local area!

Hands down the best cafe, baristas and coffee in Leeds by far The owners really care about their customers and they show through their commitment to training and embracing their team. The food choices are well thought out and complement the coffee shop vibe. They even have great background music and a genuine interest in how their customers day is going ! (To such a degree and level of care rarely experienced in contemporary British hospitality) When they ask how are you they actually mean it and care about your answer! There’s plenty of choice for the discerning coffee aficionados our there; a good few yummy cookies and one or two high quality, thoughtfully made and well prepared, gourmet toasted sandwiches but even the banter between customers and the staff puts other venues to shame demonstrating that when owners actually care its palpable. Many of the team rotate between my favourite branch on Stainburn Parade and the Harvey Nichols cafe in the Victoria shopping centre and its the same high quality experience from attentive staff and attention to details that set this young brand apart from their competitors I hope they flourish cos its super!

The best flat white in Leeds without doubt! Always grab a bag of their coffee beans as well. The toasties and cakes are 10/10 as well.

The Rabbit Hole smells beautiful as soon as you walk in, the smell off coffee hits you and you know your getting a quality coffee made with passion.

Love going here for book club every month, the staff are lovely and the drinks are really nice I always get a Mocha with oat milk. I also love it here because it's a vegan cafe 😍

Great coffee, service and nice place!

Fantastic little coffee shop! Couldn’t resist trying the blue matcha, which was made excellently! I was impressed by the quality! The barista was very friendly and welcoming - accommodating to all my questions. The atmosphere was lovely - very clean! Noticed how on it the barista was at cleaning, which is always a good sign. The atmosphere was brilliant - great place to read and write. Also loved the layout of the whole cafe. Wish I lived nearby, recommend!

That was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. I haven’t even left the building yet and already writing this review 😂 We had the mixed grill for two and everything tasted incredible. Mocktails are also fab 👌🏻 Will definitely be back!

What a wonderful evening we have had. The food was outstandingly delicious that exceeded all expectations. The chicken board was delicious which i took home for later! The staff and service were also fantastic. 10/10 experience and we will absolutely be returning!

Vegetarian option is tasty, I would like to have more veggies than pita bread that why is 4 not 5. Very kind service and good atmosphere. I do recommend this Greek flavours

Such a lovely atmosphere & place to bring friends and eat, especially if you like Greek food! I’m currently on a very specific diet due to illness and they were super accommodating, making sure there was nothing on my plate that I couldn’t eat. AND it was still tasty :) thank you x

Love love love! Favourite spot to grab a coffee in Chapel Allerton. The staff are super friendly and the space super comfortable.

Grabbed a quick take away coffee last week. I had initially thought this has been made far too hot and ruined the coffee. After the first few sips it definitely delivered a lovely mix of sweet flavours to complement the coffee. So, I cannot hesitate to give it 5 stars. Very well done as so, so many people get it wrong but you delivered excellent coffee.

Very good coffee and ambiance was just so relaxing. I don’t want to leave ♥️

Top class. We go there fortnightly(ish). The food is consistently great, the scones are special and the prices (especially for take-out) are very competitive! We love to sit in (but outside) and watch the spectrum of parallel parking skills on show.

Came here for a quick coffee and it was lovely. Can't wait to come back and try some of the pastries, they looked delicious!

Never been in before. Got a bacon sandwich, chocolate flapjack, and a latte. All were a lot cheaper than my go-to breakfast cafe which was an instant bonus, plus they were just as good. The staff were lovely, friendly, and patient. Albeit a small place the vibe was really cosy and warm, and I especially liked the decoration. Will definitely be coming back to try a full English! Cheers

We love crust and crumb, delicious fresh food that you can tell has been made with love. Always a friendly face and a warm welcome, it's lovely cafe to spend time in! If you're looking for somewhere in chapel allerton I would highly recommend. Also, dog friendly! You don't have to sit freezing outside!

The roasted squash special and kimchi kroque were unreal. Looked so good I had the first bite before taking the photo... 😅

We visited on the day they were releasing their new menu and the food was absolutely unreal. So beautiful and so tasty. They have nailed it! I had the smashed peas. Everyone working was so lovely and one of the chefs even came out to deliver a sauce and explained what was in it and a bit about the food. Can tell they were excited about the new menu and for good reason. Can’t recommend it enough.

Popped in for coffee, while I waited for my wife to have her eye operation, but ended up having a very nice breakfast indeed - it's not very often I'm in this neck of the woods living out York way, but with the wife going in for eye surgery at a local hospital and a wait of a couple of hours, no point in travel back home to turn round an come straight back. Thats why the coffee hunt, so glad I did - good strong coffee with a very nice eggs royale, on an english muffin. Spot on and service was excellent

First time today with my daughter. I must say the food truly exceeded my expectation. It was very busy at the time and we were told to wait outside with the outdoor heating on. We were given a table inside fairly quickly. Not many cafes would do Turkish eggs and I’ve tried this at 3 different cafes and by far House of Koko is by far the best. The bread came with it was thick and fluffy. We’ll definitely be back again!

Really lovely cafe, will always support local and we're really happy it's doing so well. But recently we've been shot down 4 times when we've tried coming in for a coffee or breakfast so booking is a must. No seriously, we were refused in an almost empty restaurant because 'we have bookings coming in over the next hour' the lady said. Very embarrassing but also will book in future ❤️

Great service and amazing food. We stumbled across this place a few weeks ago and popped in for a coffee. Food looked so good we came back to try it and were not disappointed. Food was really delicious and the staff were friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back!

Bricklebanks breakfast & Coffee for ~£15 One of the best full English’s I’ve had in Leeds Would recommend trying to book on a weekend as it fills up fast! Staff also lovely!

Loved it, not eaten here before and the burgers were on point. For such a big burger it was super lean, no grease, up there with one of my best burgers I've had. Beers also reasonably priced! We absolutely loved it :) We got 2 beers, a cider and 2 burgers with fries and coleslaw, everything homemade. It was amazing and lovely staff too. Will definitely be back!

Tried a few brownies and bits from here and from a pop up. Super yummy. Very sweet of course, I think some of the brownies could take a touch more salt to balance the sweetness, but that’s just my personal preference. Snickers brookie is my favourite so far. The cookie slice tasted a little bit bicarby, will have to try another one to re-review. The Oreo cookie pie OH MY what a thing. I was taken out in two bites. Incredibly dense but absolutely delicious, I want to try them all!! The coffee is not my favourite, maybe it’s the oat milk they use, not sure. Will definitely keep coming here.

Good brownies that are reasonably priced. They are slightly sweeter than I personally like, and are a bit hard to finish. It’s nice to see a business that started in the area expanding and opening more stores. Friendly staff. Keep up the good work!

Beautiful, quaint little cafe with lovely coffee and the most delicious brownies! Service was spot on and speedy and the cafe is dog friendly. Keep up the great work.

Super homemade sweet pastries. They are well made and delicious (and high calorific value). The shop is local and neighbourly and it is independently owned and managed and this is so very good. You can feel the personal passion and desire to offer a food product and service. I will return as it is very good and have marked this as a favourite, to support and to buy for others. What could be improved? Three or four lines.of semi-sweet and/or savoury cakes. Such as fruit scones, or other less sweet options. That would.make this excellent for everyone. Also give elthe website a higher profile within the shop so we can buy online when we live further away!

Such a cute coffee shop that is located heart of Chapel Allerton city centre. Coffe tasted great, the shop was nice and clean! There are some outside tables available as well as inside.

The best coffee in Leeds! Lovely, friendly, knowledgeable staff and a delicious selection of cakes and sandwiches. I love that it's both kid and dog friendly, good for those with dietary requirements, and the rotating batch brew is a great way to try new, interesting blends from roasters all over the UK. Cannot recommend this place enough
