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

Fantastic food, props to the chef with the bandanna in the kitchen(Chris). It was very busy and the lady hosting got us a table within 10 minutes which was amazing. Will be back!

The perfect start to the day. I had the Blueberry cheesecake Fluffy American Pancakes and my partner ordered the Gluten Free Residence full English, with sausage and black pudding!!

Wonderful food and friendly staff Only been in a handful of times, because I live the other side of town but every time I’ve been, never been disappointed in the slightest Highly recommend any day of the week

Absolutely love this cafe bar, so much so I've visited 3x in my last 2 visits to Leeds. Top class food & drinks, reasonably priced and well presented. Always seems to be busy too which is a great sign that I'm not alone in thinking it's a great place too.

What a hidden gem 💎 great food, great coffee, friendly staff. 100% recommend!

Unbelievably tasteful breakfast. We tried the Eggs Royal & it tasted so soooo FRESH from the sauce to the toasted muffin and everything in between. This cafe is a hidden gem driven past it a million times so pleased to have popped in today.

This place is round the corner from my friend and I've been a good few times now, the food is always really delicious and the atmosphere is warm and inviting, especially through the back. The decor in the back is really well done and makes me feel like I'm at home, Vita and Luigi are both friendly and make you feel like you've been going in for years and best of all the food is very fairly priced. I Highly recommend this place to anyone who's passing through or lives in Leeds. 5 stars all round.

The chef and barista here works magic and I can't thank everyone at Dolce Vita enough for the amazing experience everytime I visit. I'd say wish I could try it for the first time all over again but every time feels like the first time again with the high quality service and wonderful presentation of delicious food. There is always a warm and friendly atmosphere. I recommend Dolce Vita to everyone. Their sandwiches, wraps, pasta, pitta, drinks, desserts, everything is amazing ☺️

The breakfast was so tasty and probably the best we’ve had in Leeds. The egg was runny and the bacon was crispy! Nothing was greasy on the plate which was a bonus… The staff were so friendly and approachable. The service was great and the food came out quickly. 100% recommend and we will definitely be back!

A beautiful little oasis of tasteful decor, nice background music and lighting. Worth a visit just to sit and escape from the busy streets, greasy spoon cafes and standard chain shops nearby! And the food options are excellent too, not unreasonable prices, food is well presented and tasty. Little touches make all the difference- the volume and choice of music, the brightness of lighting, seat comfort and not overcrowded, choice of Denby plates and cups, heavier knives and forks not cheap flimsy ones, nice glasses for the water on the table etc. Minor details but they all add up. Really glad I found this place after driving around for a while looking. Easy parking in nearby car park attached to shopping arcade.

So, remember that little tapas bar you found on holiday that time that was quaint cosy welcoming & served brilliant cocktails, beer & amazing authentic tapas?🦐😎 Well turns out there's one in Crossgates..yes really! We've been calling in here during the day for excellent coffee & great breakfasts n' brunches & decided to have a tapas evening here after looking at the menu. So glad we did! What a lovely evening of exquisite food & drinks (go here for the cocktails ladies!) If you want a great 'holiday vibe tapas bar' locally with great staff,excellent beer,wine,cocktails & just great food go no further than this little gem. Delightful.

So after a number of recommendations about this place, I decided to see what all the hype was. Well firstly the place was packed .which is always a good sign. The staff we're extremely friendly and helpful as it was my first time there. There is a £5 minimum payment by card which i can understand. So I ordered, the price was amazing,considering other sandwich/cafe i have used charge ridiculous prices. So after finishing the most delicious,filling sandwich and still hot ,as I wasn't eating in, I'VE HAD . I would recommend roses cafe hands down. So I'll be visiting again and again. If a could a would give 10 stars.

Great food great prices , little hidden gem 💎 highly recommended 👌 Edit : why the negative response after such a lovely honest review ??

Food was fab, make sure you try the potato bread and white pudding.

Lovely little cafe Service was superb, food was delicious. I mean, we all know it is not rocket science to do an English breakfast, but to make every single bit of it just right, well, that defines a good cafe to me.

Arrived, Leeds is a mission and half to drive to over Xmas. Breakfast with extra egg, amazing did look at the pancakes, but I'm having something like that for the dessert or sweet. Upstairs was packed. Will book a reservation in future. Spiced chocolate cake? I think.p

The food is fabulous, highly recommend the Turkish eggs and also the pastries. I would suggest asking for some of the pastries to be heated like spinach & feta or the chocolate, hazelnut and pear (they won't offer but will do upon request). Coffee is great, and service is rapid meaning you can stop before your train. Booking looks advisable as always busy.

Breakfast was really nice! I had the french toast and it was delicious, the orange mascarpone made it very refreshing so it wasn't too sweet. The portion size was also huge. We also had the breakfast brioche, again very delicious but definitely recommend it with added bacon.

Incredible place! I wish I had a better photo of how it arrived! Honestly one of the best English breakfasts I have ever had. It is difficult to elevate a fry, but they managed. Mushroom with lemon and thyme, homemade beans, perfect poached eggs, great coffee. Seriously impressive place. Everyone else was really happy with the food as well. Service was fast and kind.

What a lovely evening we had. Catered for a big group of us for my son’s 21st birthday. Food was absolutely spot on and the service was brilliant. We were probably a bit loud when the drinks were flowing but these guys were amazing! Thank you so much

It was a good experience. Food was awesome. Service was also good. We order Wraps, Cappuccino, Nachos and Coffee Buttercream cake. Flavors of wraps was very hot and flavorful. The cake was very tempting taste of coffee. I felt the problem in Nachos(not recommended). I didn't like the sauce(dip), the chips was good.

On arrival, it was quiet. The place is clean and nicely set out. The breakfast menu had some good choices. We had the Full English breakfast and a bacon sausage and mushroom sandwich with a latte. (Please see photos attached) The coffee was very nice. The service was fairly quick, and the waiter was polite. It was well presented, and the food was decent. Compared to other places I've been to, it wasn't amazing, but it was more than good enough. They aren't very giving with the butter, though, so don't be afraid to ask for more. I think this place is more on the expensive side. Would come here again.

Great experience, nice staff and very reasonable pricing.

As a regular in the lunch crowd, I was interested to see how we’d go with a private party for work. From the minute I got in touch to book, I’ve had nothing but good service from friendly staff, especially Stacey. We decided on a BBQ and it was fantastic. Well organised, relaxed, gorgeous venue and the food was spot on. Hands down the best vegetarian option I’ve ever been given at a BBQ! Whether you fancy a spot of lunch, a place to meet a pal or a venue for a party, I would highly recommend Sociable Folk.

It is one of the best cafes in Leeds. I am in love with the honey nut crunch! The cakes were delicious as well. The fat white is one if the good choices. However, they offer different choices, including healthy choices. The atmosphere is amazing and the staff are very friendly. They have outdoor seating, which is nice during the sunny days 👍🏻. Not to mention that they offer free wifi for their customers (ask the staff for the password). Highly recommended 👍🏻!

Really enjoyed the coffee and wrap. Good portions and quite a reasonable price. Especially for the city centre. Friendly staff too. Can get very busy at times with staff from neighbouring offices.

Always very busy but usually able to find a seat inside, only been in winter but plenty of places to sit out in the square too. Good vegetarian options on the menu & there are healthier alternatives to a sandwich which are still tasty. Whilst there's often a big queue waiting for take-out orders, they are usually served up quickly

Lovely Italian cafe. Amazing place, staff lovely, chef fantastic. Atmosphere is spot on. Prices are not ridiculous, portion sizes more than enough

I recently visited Cafe Enzo in Kirkstall after dropping my kids off at Gravity trampoline park., Seeking a good morning start I stumbled upon this charming spot on Main Street. Finding parking just across the cafe, I opted for a Hazelnut Latte extra hot. The two lovely ladies at the counter assumed I was there for breakfast, which caused a moment of disappointment when my coffee arrived, priced at £3.60 for a regular. Nevertheless, the coffee was satisfactory, service was decent, and the cafe's atmosphere and decoration were truly amazing. The only drawback was the slightly confusing services counter, lacking a designated spot for on-the-go orders. Despite this, I would recommend Cafe Enzo and plan to visit again.

Everything nice and clean. Friendly staff.. quite extensive menu.. Didn't wait long for a great bacon sandwich.. .very good coffee. Got busy whilst we were there 10.30 on a Thursday morning after driving from the other side of Leeds. Can recommend.

I ordered a red velvet cake with a hot chocolate and a baileys coffee, the hot chocolate really surprised me also the cake was so soft and delicious. Will definitely be coming back and will recommend this place to friends and family.

beautiful place (vibe unparalleled), excellent staff (shout out to Alex you legend) (the others are very nice too). i love the menu - lots to choose from as a veggie and they were v accommodating with a request to switch bacon > v sausage. one of my fav spots - esp when the sun hits on the terrace ☀️

Very good quality food and drink. Also nice to have some different breakfast and brunch options to the norm. It's understandably popular.

We went for some lunch for my grandpas birthday and the staff were absolutely brilliant, the food was gorgeous and all round atmosphere was perfect for the occasion. Our server was Eva she was really friendly and attentive, she deserves a bonus for being such a credit to the restaurant! We couldn’t be happier with the experience :)

Superb café! Came highly recommended from friends who live locally. The chai latte was sublime, as were the halloumi and warmed falafel sandwiches. I would recommend unreservedly 🤩

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

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.

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!

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