All right, calm down. I know I like to doll out the stars, but this. I was so impressed with this…read moreplace! Let's get this in order so you can feel the vibe: Decor: Ultra cool. Love the art work, the graffiti style, the quirky furnishings and so on. You walk in and you know you've come to a place where even the littlest things have been considered -- a great thing. Staff: every person I interacted with was cool and friendly, from the bar to the barbecue (yes -- barbecue; I'll get to that!). Drinks: Although I only had prosecco and a g&t, there's more to explore. I need to get back and try out the cocktails, as this isn't your standard Carling joint. Food: Okay, so I've only eaten here the once, but I love what they're doing. Croissants for breakfast/late brunch snacks was an immediate bonus. And on weekends (Saturdays? Sundays?) if it's sunny, they crack out the barbecue! They've got a fab little outdoor seating bit where they get the grill going on the patio. I was a late comer, so they just about had lamb burgers left, but it was fab. Well cooked and filled with tzatziki. Wish the bun had been fresher, but other than that, it was great. All told, this place seems pretty faultless. An awesomely cool new (ish) bar down Brewery Wharf -- finally and alternative to the blerg of Oracle. Clientele seem miles apart from that place too. Phew!

Outdoor seating that gets the sun on a morning and early afternoon. Good quality food on a limited menu so you know the ingredients are fresh. Even comes with a resident dog who just mooches around saying hi to everyone. Coffee that can compete with all the high quality cafes in Leeds city centre. Unfortunately just not enough staff on so we had to wait a long time for food. If they can get the staff levels right this place could be a 5 star joint.

Out of the Woods is my local sandwich shop & all round fab independent cafe (yes, I am that lucky!)…read moreand I'm telling you, they do a mean sandwich. They also do lots of other goodness that you're bound to love. I can be a fussy eater. I don't do rocket, I've only just tried brie, I'm a bit strange about chutneys but the salami, goats cheese and mango chutney sandwich is one of the best sandwiches I've had. Even the rocket in it tastes nice. If its breakfast you're looking for, the choice ranges from porridge & granola to pastries and fruit. The breakfast smoothie is one of the best I've ever had. Seriously good. On top of all that, you can even buy Yorkshire Crisps and Lottie Shaw's parkin!! YES! Seriously though, this is a good place, it isn't too pricey and the menu is varied. Plus, they won't judge you. I went in in PJs once when I was unwell & they didn't bat an eyelid! Nice peeps!

Really nice food (I recommend the ginger and cinnamon oatmeal cookies!), very good coffee and a really, really nice atmosphere.

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.

Sourced Market is a really cool location, located in Leeds Skelton Lake Services, it is their…read moresecond location, and the newest of the two, I much prefer this to their original location at London St Pancras. The store is bright, bold and modern, they have a wide range of offerings, showcasing a variety of Yorkshire brands,, as well as fresh and organic produce, the prices are competitively priced compared to what you'd pay at a regular farmers market, and more than worth it for the quality. The staff were really friendly, they were happy to help and show me around the store and what items were gluten-free, I do think the gluten-free sections could have been better, but I was able to get some fantastic shortbread, from a local family-run business, in terms of hot food offerings I was able to have a rotisserie-style chicken. My chicken was really good, it was seasoned perfectly with a fantastic salt, they upgraded me for to a full chicken as they were close to closing time, which I felt was a kind gesture, it meant I had some to take home later, and it actually warmed up surprisingly well too. I do think it would have been nice to have stronger cutterly as the knifes kept breaking when I was cutting into the chicken breast, and I would have liked to have a selection of sides, some carbs to go with the chicken (potatoes, rice) would have made it perfect. I picked up a rotisserie style chicken, gluten-free short-bread and a pack of locally sourced eggs, which all came to £11.40 which I was pleased with. They do have a small seating area within the store, part of it was cornered off (alcohol section) which I presume was due to current UK government guidelins. 4* - The store had a really good feel to it and the staff were excellent, I loved the organic and fresh produce, this is one of the best stores I've actually found in a motorway service station, the main improvement would be to increase their food for now menu however possible, especially as UK government restrictions ease which means more people will be travelling, and adding a few more gluten-free options overall, as they were slightly limited in that department.

A cute little stall within a visually stunning arcade, I stumbled across Opposite by accident. But…read morewhat a happy one at that. I was aware of the main Opposite cafe from my student days, often providing a welcome distraction when procrastinating during dissertation season. During a chat with the barista, I realised it was their smaller, centrally located sibling. Whilst the original Opposite is a totally relaxing place to while away a few hours; this one is more of a place to refuel with gorgeous, fairly traded coffee and a refreshing range of teas to choose from. I enjoyed visiting Opposite in the Victoria Quarter, reminiscing about the carefree hedonism that was student life! I had to get one of their chocolate brownies, just to check that they were as good as I remembered them to be. They were.
