A perfect place to get a big sandwich, freshly made smoothie or quality herbal tea on a…read morestudy-break, The Smoothie Company is located behind the row of shops opposite Leeds University's Parkinson Court and opposite Leeds College of Art and Design. This may account for the impeccable and tasteful décor, which I value just as highly as the food in a café - if I want to sit and eat my lunch somewhere it has to be a nice environment. There are a few small, quality pieces of art on display and for sale as well as larger, more generic yet coordinated prints. Interior design aside, the smoothies here are great, as you would hope from a place called The Smoothie Company! Each one is made to order with fresh fruit and there are dairy and non-dairy options. The sandwiches are a good size, leaving you feel full and healthy after a sandwich/smoothie lunch. You get the quality you pay for with both of these. I was pleased to find out they recycle their glass bottles but wasn't surprised as the atmosphere suggests positive ethos. The pot plants on the tables and little washing line on the wall to leave notes or flyers on are features that add to this good feeling.

If you're looking for a spot that's slightly off the beaten track, and away from the hoards of…read morestudent lunchers, this place has got your name on it. Don't expect miracles, these hidden gems don't stay secret for long, so come 1pm the queue will still be out the door - just not nearly as push-and-shove-ly as the spots nearby. The added bonuses of extra staff, to take off the pressure, and a cute little side window to collect your order from at such busy times, is a boon indeed. They've a small array of outdoor seating for those intermittent sunny afternoons, and a decent amount of space inside, including a most exciting faux-grass carpet made of plastic. I know it's terribly kitsch, but I'm somewhat of a fan, as it makes the space feel fresh and light. The staff are as cheery as the space, which is lovely, and will help guide you to one of the offerings if you need help - which you might - as there are many options. The whole gamut of the smoothie world is covered, from the naughty-but-tasty, to the milk-based, right through to the purest juices. I had something raspberry and mint based, and it was refreshing and delicious. I came here for a catch up with the lovely Gabrielle, and I wish I could remember which she had, as it also looked marvellous... On this occasion I didn't take a bite, but there's a decent selection of sarnies on offer should you come looking for lunch. All in all, it's a super solid spot for smoothies, and you might even find just that bit extra. Check 'em out!

Think door-wedge sandwiches, freshly made soups, salads, sushi etc. They also have local produce in stock - I bought some Yorkshire Honey in there the other day. Gorgeous. Price isn't cheap but - you get what you pay for. There's not much room to sit in but good for taking friends / clients. You could sit outside on the patch of 'grass' - but I'd wait for the summer months for that. Staff are super friendly and there's a selection of magazines / papers to grab if you're feeling the need to consume some literature along with your nosh. They tweet too - @outofthewoodsuk - in a nice personal way. Watch out for the cupcakes on the counter, they're very hard to not buy.

Opened in December, the second Out of the Woods in Leeds adds a delightful offering to Granary…read moreWharf. With such a fantastic reputation and community following from the first Out of the Woods on Water Lane in Holbeck Urban Village, the new juice bar serves coffee, soup, smoothies, juice, sandwiches, all things wholesome, just as good if not better than the last. In all the madness of opening a new shop in the christmas period, Ross & Jon (OOTW parents) even had time to open a 'pop-up' Christmas Shop also in Granary Wharf - selling gift boxes and presents that my parents loved. The interior is chic, so is the graphic or 'branding', very simple and decadent but most of all the staff are genuinely lovely. Out of the Woods provides very affordable prices for high quality local produce and excellent personal service. I have, like most, a thing for good coffee and well delivered service with a sense that your custom is valued. For me this is exactly what Out of the Woods is about and does a damn good job at that! Get down there for a coffee / meeting, lunch date, walk along the canal, breakfast before work, comfortable chat, healthy smoothie. etc, etc. I cannot recommend it enough. OH, THEY HAVE FREE WI-FI!!!! THANK YOU Out of the Woods.

I tried the crumble with marshmallows and custard, and it was absolutely delicious. The marshmallows added this fun, gooey sweetness that worked perfectly with the warm, comforting crumble and creamy custard. The portion was pretty large for me, so I shared it with someone and we both felt satisfied. If you're wandering around York and in the mood for something warm and sweet, it's worth a stop.

As they're freshly made you'll have a short wait, expect a longer queue on warmer days and around lunchtime. It always looks very clean and the staff are cheerful. There are sometimes little cups of trial smoothies on the counter. The smoothies are REALLY yummy but they are expensive which is why it only gets 4 stars from me.

The prices are what I would consider to be on the more pricy side but the smoothies themselves are very moreish, the strawberry smoothie in particular is one of my favourites. As it's only a small over the counter shop, you have to be prepared to wait a while but you can watch your drink being prepared and service is generally very fast probably 5 minutes at the most. It's probably around £3 for your average smoothie. The staff here are very pleasant and you can see that the whole place is clean. My only concern is the price.

Even though I was really wanting fresh juice, I couldn't resist the delicious sounding Choc-A-Lot... a healthy chocolate smoothie full of goodness and yum! My husband got Green... and I really like the smooth earthy flavour of it as well! The ladies working there were both very kind and knowledgable! I was even able to sample a tasty juice that made we wish I had a place like this in my city! If I'm ever in the area again, I will make it a point to stop. Such a healthier alternative to eating junk food every day while on holiday! ;)

Specialising in a range of smoothies and juices, they've fully taken on the trend for blending. It's small inside with an open 'kitchen' and menus on the walls. Take your time choosing! They really don't mind if you're indecisive (like me) and will happily change anything for you. The menu is split into different sections with similar bases i.e. earth juices predominantly feature ingredients like carrot. I went for a juice with strawberry, blueberry, apple and orange. It was very refreshing and hit the spot, though I wasn't a fan of the pulp that was prominent about halfway through drinking. Service is fully with a smile and our juices were prepared in a flash. They have a very handy lid creator which you then pop your straw through, so no potential spills - which is especially good if you're in the car. If you're in the area and fancy a juice boost, I'd recommend heading to The Juicery.
