Can't miss the yellow, inviting my cafe right next to the train station, so I didn't think to check it out until a month into my stay at Leeds ‍ What a gem! Buttered sourdough toast with poached eggs were amazing (I've really become a fan of poached eggs recently). The granola was pretty good, but the fruit is sweetened a bit too much for my taste. Great place to hang out with my Kindle. Will frequent as much as possible with my remaining month in Leeds. Make a reservation if you can. They take walk ins, but you will need to wait right outside. read more

Best breakfast I've had in Leeds this visit. The dry cappuccino was served perfectly, I ordered one to go it was so amazing. The service was impeccable, and the food immaculate. My poached egg broke with a syrupy affect down my toasted sourdough as the steam slowly whirled off like smoke from a chimney on a cold crisp morning. I also ordered a sticky toffee custard danish which resembled the quality and flavor of a pastry from Tartines back in SF. The ambiance and mood was just right of a cafe, enough bustle to feel the verve and passion of the staff but not intrusive to the soul entering the day. I will be back and encourage others to give this place a try! read more

If you are a coffee drinker and you've not made a daily stop at Laynes Espresso part of your routine, you are missing out. If you are a serious coffee drinker passing through, you must make the short walk around the corner from the train station and stop for a cup. The crew at Laynes aren't just serving up pastries and pouring coffee; they show a genuine understanding of the art and science of coffee brewing. Even more, they happily share their enthusiasm for the craft as well as their knowledge of the bean (check your coaster and learn something about what you're drinking...). read more

Probably the best coffee shop in Leeds though its croissant are phenomenaly expensive, the food is also very good

Picture the situation. You're in town, perhaps just off the train, and you're craving a caffeine fix. It happens, we all know the feeling, right? Long journey, long shopping day, long no-excuse-but-I-love-a-fix day. Well. You could walk on autopilot, as most of us do, mindlessly plodding one foot in front of the other like a brand brainwashed moth towards the *Costa/Starbucks/Nero's light. *Insert identikit icon here. I'm not perfect, I do it too. However, it's little discoveries like this that inspire a tidal wave of action within me, to implore you back to the independents. So, ride that wave right on into Laynes. Fresh from the surf of this encouragement, you'll find a quaint, clean, cool little cafe. Forget the décor for a second. Let your nose lead you to the counter, and just take a breath. Fresh, delicious, aromatic beans of such flavour await you -perhaps don't linger too long. They'll wonder what the hell you're up to. But, take a breath. And let yourself take it all in, let the temptation of the senses begin. Then, order a cappuccino, and my God (wo)man, order the brioche. That life changing combination will have you forever crying tears into your luke-warm-under-done-pithy-weak "coffee" from the inferior cafes. Dried out, day old cake and a milky streak of nothing? I don't think so. Poetry. Coffee as strong as the Clifton Suspension Bridge, as powerful as honesty, and more delicious than nectar. The brioche? I can't even begin to describe. The fantastic chap suggested I dip it into my coffee, and what a winning combination. It was moist, it was gooey, it was bready in the most delightful way- basically, I'm jealous of my past self, since I don't have it right here right now. I want more. More more more. So, I got a bit carried away there. (I've been reading poetry recently.) But, if I'm honest, and frank, the coffee was incredible and the cake was one of the best I've had in Leeds. The chap who runs the place is lovely and welcoming, and would happily advise you on what he offers, should you require a nudge like I did. They offer a range of exciting teas, for those who aren't as bean obsessed, and the space is perfect to sit and take in the world as it wanders by. The cakes are locally sourced, they make their own blend of coffee (as I understand it) and it's utterly worth your pennies. And hey - if it's enough to have me waxing quite so lyrically, here's hoping that's given you the nudge you need to dip in and take a sip. I'm certain you'll be delighted. read more

Situated very close to Leeds train station, this is one of the nicest coffee shops i've ever visited. En route to TMBTC for lunch, i stopped by here for a flat white. The coffee shop is very small, but they have the best coffee here. They also have an excellent menu of snacks and sandwiches. Their home-made soups looked and smelled delicious, so next time i'll definitely be trying some of that!! read more

A perfect find to end a day trip Just by the train station, Laynes is the perfect spot to end the day with a fine coffee and a handmade cake. On a grey, misty Autumn day, I had a scrumptious pistachio and raspberry slice alongside my brewed coffee, exactly what I needed to pick me up before jumping on the train again. I can't wait to start my next trip here, with a sandwich or another cake. See you soon, Laynes! read more

I can see why there are so many positive reviews for Laynes Espresso. Was quite busy when I got here but was seated and served quite quickly. I had scrambled eggs on organic sourdough with cherry tomatoes, haloumi and bacon. Everything on the plate was superb and the coffee (latte) was very good. Not at all overpriced and the staff were prompt and friendly. Tough to see you having anything but a great experience here. read more

Mm mm mmmmm This place smells amazing when you walk in, the coffee is clearly ground on site and smells delicious. Been twice this week and both were high standard. Not the hugest space but turn around is fairly quick so rarely waiting long for a seat. Coffee is strong - I was jittery after my first try but all good second time round a few days later. It comes with a lovely leaf design on top, more intricate then most places do :) Food is super high quality, having tasted two types of sandwiches and three types of cake I can't imagine advising against eating anything in this place. (I was sharing btw, i am not a big fatty :P) Go visit this place it's worth it. read more

Being in serious need of a good coffee and breakfast this morning I decided to visit Laynes, as I had already read great things about it. I had a latte, which tasted great and the avocado on sourdough which was amazing! The chilli and lemon seasoning on the avocado gave off great flavour and the perfect level of spicy while the toasted bread complimented the soft avocado brilliantly. On top of that, the atmosphere of the coffee house was great, the staff were friendly and helpful and had smiles on their faces which is always great to start your day with. Overall great place to go and definitely one of those places where you can take a good book or notebook and relax for a few hours. read more

Within just a few paces from the Leeds train station, you have the perfect start (or end) of your day... a finely crafted coffee whether it be the amazing flat white, pour over, or latte. I came here each morning for a week while in Leeds on business and I could not be happier. I was thinking I would be stuck drinking sludge or the corporate Costa Coffee to kick my day going but with the great yelp reviews, i found this gem. For starters, its so easily located from the station that its damn convenient. It has a decent amount of room so you're never climbing on top of other people to get your drink... all the times I was there, it was never over crowded. They have a fairly quick service considering they were doing precise gram measures of ground beans to water... I also loved how happy to be there and providing a great brew to all patrons. As I mentioned, I had a few cups from here... the pour over is a must do for any coffee lover. I love how they do understand the bean tasting notes and can see if you like it. I did like one particular one over the other and from that next day feedback, they were able to recommend something else I would like. The flat whites are wonderful here... just as good as the ones I had in Sydney Australia. Price wise, this wasn't much more than your usual corner corporate brand... I would definitely take the extra 2 minutes to walk here and grab a perfect brew over the usual suspects of Starbucks, Costa Coffee and others. read more

Well... reviewing Laynes feels almost pointless; because there is a heck of a lot of love for this place, and it's all totally deserved! Without a doubt the greatest coffee shop in Leeds - hands down. I love the coffee, the look of the place and the impeccable service. Utterly superb! read more

Laynes Espresso - The best coffee in Leeds - superb! - Cafes Near Me - Leeds, XWY

Every now and then, I have to venture to Leeds for work. Given that I'm not terribly fond of trains, it's not something that I look forward to. However, ever since I found out about Laynes, and it's proximity to the train station, I've found myself looking forward to my work trips. I'm joking - a little - but I do make the time to go to Laynes every time I have to make this trip, even if the coffee shop is on the other side of the station that I need to get to. So what's good about Laynes? It's certainly one of the best coffee places in Leeds, or so I've been told. I'll be honest and say that I've had better in London. The flat whites I've had here are a little on the milky side for me. Still, they're consistent and the standards are high. Another great thing about this place is that if you're able to get there early in the morning, you can get a bostok - an almond and raspberry brioche - baked by Thierry Dumouchel for a nice, hearty breakfast. I'd tried a number of times to get there early enough to get one and only succeeded last week. Was it worth it? Hell, yeah! I bought a couple more to bring back to London! read more

Laynes Espresso - Brioche bostok. So good! - Cafes Near Me - Leeds, XWY

With so many great reviews I think I must just be missing something about Laynes Espresso. Next time I get the chance I'll grab a table (they have extra downstairs), I'll sit in and I'll order some real food. Then I'll update the review. The three stars are for the peanut butter dark chocolate brownie. I mean, obviously that's going to be good - it would be a hard thing to get wrong. Even so, it was somehow better than expected. Even if when I come back I discover that everything else about Laynes Espresso is just fine, I'm sure I'll find myself returning over and over for the brownies. What let them down was the coffee. Rather unfortunate, considering their name. I didn't spot the brand name of the coffee, but I did spot that they were selling bags of the stuff in store so someone must like it. Maybe it was just burnt or something but it was almost undrinkable and I drink a lot of coffee... possibly too much coffee. So, sorry Laynes. Right now, my opinion is that you're "just fine." Hopefully you'll correct me on that next time. read more

Laynes Espresso - Cake! - Cafes Near Me - Leeds, XWY

The brioche, dear friends, is worth the wait. Crispy on the outside, gooey and almost custardy on the inside, speckled with real raspberries and dusted with powdered sugar. Utter heaven. Literally think I could eat one of these every day and not get bored. Plus, Laynes are as passionate about their filter coffee blend as the folks at North Tea Power in Manchester are, and I felt immediately at home when being told about it. Filter POW. It was a fine blend indeed, very fine. Its depth and punch was a perfect contrast to the moist sweetness of the brioche. Also, how friendly is everyone in here? Ridonkulously so. I had a bench to myself and a nice chap who'd just ordered a sandwich and had nowhere else to sit, instead of asking if he could sit there, said, 'Mind if I join you?' That's such a more pleasant way of asking! Aww. I could have whiled away several hours reading Book 4 of A Song of Ice and Fire (which I've now finished), but there was work to be done. Still, man am I glad I made a beeline for this place as soon as I left the train. I'm making this my new Leeds tradition! read more

Laynes Espresso - Brioche and filter coffee :) - Cafes Near Me - Leeds, XWY

this place is shit so here's a different review instead McRib Review This is my review of the first McRib I ever tasted. It was seven or eight years ago when I first but into the McRib. It is difficult to remember the exact taste, but the barbeque sauce had a strong tart flavor and the meat was tender. I think there were pickles on it but again I don't remember and that might be from an advertisement of the mcrib I saw years later. I have not had a mcrib since my first mcrib seven or eight years ago and I don't know why. Maybe it's because mcrib season was always when I was at my Dad's house and my Dad didn't let me eat at McDonald's. But I don't know why I haven't had a mcrib since my father's death. If my father was really the one obstacle keeping me from the McRib then his death should have opened up that culinary door two years ago. From what I remember, the McRib was good. Not incredible, but definitely something I would order again. If there were actually pickles on it then I would say that the pickles did not complement the barbeque sauce well, but there might not have been pickles on it. From a quick google search, I can see that there are pickles on the McRib, but if I had known that there were pickles normally on the McRib then I would have ordered it without the pickles because seven or eight years ago I hated pickles. I like pickles now, but I don't think I would like them mixed with the barbeque sauce flavor that I vaguely remember. If there were pickles on my McRib, it would be because I did not know that McRibs have pickles on them. I don't check underneath the bun before I eat a sandwich, so in this scenario I would not have known that there were pickles on my mcrib and my memory would still be the product of advertisements despite the accuracy of my false memory. Thinking about it more, I most likely asked for the sandwich without pickles because I would have noticed the crunch of the pickle while biting into the sandwich and the surprise of the pickle on a rib sandwich (a combination that I had never heard of before) would be clearly imprinted in my brain seven or eight years later. I cannot isolate the bread from the rest of the sandwich to give the bread a proper review, but I can say that the taste of the bread was inoffensive enough for me to remember nothing about it seven or eight years later. In some sandwiches this would be a negative, but on the McRib this is a good thing because in a fast food sandwich, the bread should serve to make the meat easier to eat without a fork or knife. In this sense, the bread did not deliver however, because I remember the bread being dry and crumbly. I got crumbs all over the car and my dad spanked me and that's one of the reasons that he didn't allow me to eat mcdonalds anymore even though he ate Mcdonald's every day and for every meal for an entire month because he was inspired by the Morgan Spurlock documentary. That's how he died. He was trying to film his own Super Size Me documentary. He thought that it was his "calling" to be a documentary filmmaker but the only documentary he tried to make was his Super Size Me ripoff. I tried to tell him that there's more to documentary filmmaking than eating at McDonald's every day and he told me I was wrong. When he died, I found his film that he was going to edit into the documentary and most of it was him eating McDonalds with no words. When he did speak he would just complain that he picked the wrong month because "the shamrock shake is not in season this month." His month of eating only McDonalds was mid December to mid January so it would have fallen right in the middle of McRib season. I looked through all of his film hoping to find some reference to me eating the McRib because that event clearly had an impact on him if it caused him ban me from eating McDonald's. I didn't find any mention of me but I found a video of him eating a McRib on camera. Watching him bite into the McRib was like looking into a mirror, and my mouth watered as his teeth crunched through each layer. I could hear the crust of the bread, the snap of the bread and butter pickles, and the toughness of the pork ribs. He licked some barbeque sauce off of his upper lip and in the process unveiled the bottom of his mouth to the camera lens. The pork and bread and pickles and saliva crushed together into clumps underneath his tongue. "Mmmmmmmmm," he said, "At least I picked a month when the McRib is in season." When he bit into the sandwich for a second time his eyes rolled back into his head, his muscles relaxed, and he reclined in his chair like the McRib had given him a light opioid high. I zipped up my pants and stopped the video. I have never been more focused than I was when I watched my dad eat that McRib, and I can't wait until McRib season starts again so I can eat my second McRib with my Dad. I'm giving the McRib a 7.5 out of 10. read more

While the coffee here is unlike any other you'll find in Leeds (which makes it great for when you're on your way to catch a train), it's not my favourite place to sit down and have a chat. Firstly, if you're like me and wear glasses, you'll spent the first minute completely fogged over and unable to see (not that this should stop you for going in), but the seating leaves something to be desired. Granted it's a small place and there's not too much room, the downstairs is completely devoid of any personality and the chairs upstairs seem to be designed to get you in and out as soon as possible. I am a firm believer that a cafe should be a place you can go and read a book for a long as possible. My other issue is the temperature of the coffee. While we have been assured it is made warm to not ruin the taste of the coffee, you have to drink it quite quickly unless you enjoy cold coffee. The food is good though. And while it pains me to give this place three stars - I feel Leeds needs more places like this - due to personal taste I'm likely to go elsewhere for a coffee and a chat. read more

The very first time I came to Leeds for my job interview I came to Laynes after Reading Ian M and Laura F's reviews. I was an hour of so early and needed a coffee and some pace to collect my thoughts and Laynes was perfect for this. It is very small, almost tiny, although there is some extra seating downstairs. The staff are wonderful and attentive and produced one of the best flat whites I've had in a long time. I've been back many times since for more coffees and also to pick up some fresh coffee to brew at home along with their peanut butter chocolate brownies (total heaven!) read more

The more i go here, the more i love it! In my 3-4 times a week visits im trying more and more of their food offerings, and i havent been disappointed yet! Raspberry and vanilla blondies, Peanut Things, Yorkshire Ham and Gruyère sandwiches.... ITS ALL SO GOOD! Team the perfect latte with amazing little sweet bits, a properly chilled out atmosphere and really friendly staff, and if your good at calculations it = Laynes. No need to go anywhere else. Plus more seating is due imminently! read more

I first heard about this gem a little couple of years ago from a fellow coffee fanatic but my only previous experience was grabbing a cup to go on the way to London with work. I had my first sit down in there on Wednesday 24th April, it didnt disappoint. I went for an Americano and my fellow diner/drinker had brioche and cappuchino. Whilst I cant speak for her bun and brew taste-wise it was well presented and looked the bit. My Americano was great, perfect strength. Lovely environment with friendly, helpful staff... I'll be going again. But I'll take cash this time! read more

After 100 visits, I thought that an update was in order. Clearly Laynes must be doing something right. In fact, it is doing many things very well. Most important for a coffee shop is the coffee itself. Laynes' brew is expertly made coffee using Square Mile beans (one of only a few places in Leeds to do so). The coffee is accompanied by excellent cakes. My favourites include the the brioche (as others have said) which is simply lovely (albeit a bit different in style from what you would find in France). In addition, I find the salted caramel slice somewhat addictive (as my waistline testifies) and the sticky ginger cake simply divine. At lunch, a range of sandwiches and a hot soup/stew come out to play. Again, these are wonderful - the bread is gorgeous and the filing is arguably even better! With oceans of chains all around it, Laynes is by far the best coffee shop that I have found in Leeds so far. Here's to another 100 visits. read more

This is the best coffee shop I've been to in Leeds. I think it's only fair to get that out in the open straight away. The espresso is (a full seven oh's) sooooooo good! The baked goods are divine. The decor turns this little slip of a building into a veritable throne room for King Coffee. Though, it should be noted, I've not been since the downstairs seating has been fitted in, but I assume it's only gotten better as a result! It's got everything I'd ever want in a coffee shop (except wifi/power outlets) but I view this less as a place to work remotely and more of a place to come in, relax, and enjoy some damn fine coffee. I can't wait to try their lunchtime food but, with the incredibly tempting Friends of Ham just a few doors down, I'm not sure I'll ever get the chance. Do yourself a favour, drink here. read more

The first time I stopped in at Laynes, I was just wandering around close to work and fancied a sandwich. All that was left was a solitary, highly-priced, grilled halloumi sandwich which I didn't even want. That sandwich, and the coffee I bought with it, turned out to be fantastic and I've been in fairly regularly since. Laynes is a reminder that coffee isn't just about the quantity in the cups; this is a shop that instead provides amazing coffee and awesome service to everyone who sets foot in the door. Sure, there's not much room, but whether you get to sit down or not, it's totally worth it. Even more so if you grab a brownie too. read more

There is no doubt in my mind that this is the best coffee in Leeds (indeed it is the best coffee in my world). The place itself is pleasant although the seating isn't great (short people dring coffee too) and it's not a place I would head for if I wanted a cosy chat with a friend or just to have some relaxation time with the love of my life (ok I mean book but don't judge me). The staff were very friendly and happy looking and seemed happy to explain what they had on offer. read more

Nick Cave, Mark Lanagan played whilst I was in. To me this is good music, and makes me feel at home. Food a bit fancy, but ok as a rare occasional treat. Coffee very good, but slightly on the smaller side. They had a selection of sandwhiches and cakes for lunchtime, but I went with the rarebit as a treat. It was delicious. There's more tables downstairs, and choice of reading material which included the Leeds Independent Guide, which was a great help in planning the rest of the visit to Leeds, before I went to the Brudenell for a gig. Just around the corner from the train station. Turn right as you come out. read more

So, have never been here so decided whilst meeting the lovely miss Rowena that this was the perfect opportunity to try it out. Like many, I've walked up this street hundreds if not thousands of times and never indulged in the delicious array of delights available in the quaint coffee shop/lunch stop! So, in i trawled @ 1pm- typical lunch hour timing and yes, there was space to sit! I must say the goodies on offer had me salivating and the staff helped me through the choice due to my pesky nut allergy with ease. Always nice to find knowledgeable staff interested in what they sell. The coffee menu offers all the favourites and the sandwiches I'll have to take a trip back for as they look totally scrumptious and featured great flavours. The mocha I ordered was presented on a wooden tray-like server with my tiffin. The coffee was a good drinkable temperature and nice and smooth. The white chocolate tiffin had lovely good quality chocolate top with juicy cranberries- yum yum yum. For a mere £4.70 this was a lovely treat to chat over and the staff seem very efficient in what they do with no-one stood around for more than a few minutes waiting for their order. If you haven't tried it yet- get on down there. read more

Laynes Espresso - Best lunch ever! Shakers to and avocado on sourdough toast. - Cafes Near Me - Leeds, XWY

Laynes espresso's namesake is of great quality (Square Mile espresso) which is turned into tasty drinks. Unsurprisingly my macchiato was better than what my hotel nearby managed to produce, however what was surprising was the amount of milk in it. Macchiatos aren't on the board and I was charged the 25% extra price of a piccolo, so perhaps there was some miscommunication. What was also surprising was the combination of lack of staff, number of customers and the resulting wait. The staff mentioned there are usually more hands on deck, and handled things as best they could, but at 8.20am on a weekday it's always going to be busy - other customers decided to leave the queue as a consequence. My 20 minutes in the queues weren't unpleasant, but I assume I'm not alone in preferring to not stand around waiting for the coffee. Despite this, the drink tasted good and that's what I was there for. Hopefully this is a one-off, if not then you may be running to catch your train! read more

This place is world-class. In any city in the world, it would probably be one of the best places - if not the best place - to get your coffee fix. Here's why. They use excellent beans, and they use excellent roasters. The beans are almost always blends (of excellent single origin beans) from Square Mile roasters. The blend they use depends upon the season (coffee is a fruit and it has seasons). They often seem to have non-blended single-origin alternatives from other roasters. (A personal favorite is the Kenyan Thunguri AA from Koppi.) The staff is extremely knowledgable about coffee. They are not pretentious. I've asked a lot of questions about the coffee and they are great about explaining it. Finally, the staff really knows how to make coffee. As far as the environment goes, it is relaxed. The music is good. The staff is extremely nice. The food is simple but good. I've heard that the cakes are good (I don't eat them). Their sandwiches are hearty and good. All of this adds up to consistently excellent coffee. So, if the question you ask is: "Will I great a great cup of coffee and will I be able to enjoy that cup in a pleasant atmosphere?" The answer to this question at Layne's is consistently, "Yes." So, if you want great coffee that is as good as you will get at some of the best coffee places around, then go to Layne's. For those who are wondering, here are the coffee places to which I am comparing Layne's: Prufrock, Workshop, and Monmouth in London Blue Bottle, Gorilla, Grumpy, Joe, and Third Rail in NYC Intelligentsia and Stumptown in various places in the US (especially their respective locations in Los Angeles, Portland, and Chicago) read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. When I moved to Leeds last year I was going through coffee withdrawal. I used to work as a barista and was used to drinking good quality coffee. But once I got here, there seemed to be none around! Where was the microfoam? Where were the clean steam wands? Well...one day I finally wandered into Laynes and at last....there they were! Fantastic coffee, wonderful baked goods, lovely atmosphere...the works! But the coffee....THE COFFEE!!!! They know what they are doing and they really care and that's why it tastes so good. I try to get there as often as I can and when I drink coffee from almost anywhere else in Leeds, I just feel disappointment. So really, Laynes....you've ruined other coffee for me. But it's worth it. read more

The espresso's you can get is amazing! I love this place so much and visit at least twice a week. Within a few minutes of placing my order, it comes along and I immediately started to drink it. The taste is always like an explosion of flavour and I always want to have more. In a couple of seconds, I have devoured my espresso and wanted to have another. This place is awesome and I told all my friends that they should go here and they agree! :D read more
