Now, I don't often get out to Chapel A, but on the odd occasion I do a visit to this little treat…read morestop is an absolute must. Granted, there are not many tables so it can be hard to grab a seat, but I'd suggest it's worth the wait given what's in store. A few Saturdays ago, treats we're on the agenda. As I'd not been here in ages, we decided to seek out some delectable sustenance here, as that is precisely what I got my friends. I had heard tell these guys do a mean burger, and since I've been banging on about seeking out Leeds' best it seemed only fair to tackle that for lunch. Oh. My. Word. After an enticing wait the food arrived and what lay before me was some kind of demi-god, as far as patties go. A beautifully baked sesame seed bun, with all the fluffy, crispy, freshness you could hope for in a bread cake. The accoutrements included a wonderfully fresh bit of salad, perfectly melted cheddar, and a delightful home made piccalilli. The meat? Seasoned to perfection, juicier than I've known, and cooked like a dream. Slightly pink, like a real burger should be, and a right ruddy messy affair. I was in heaven. Of course, you know all about their award winning cupcakes by now, so I needn't wax lyrical about the white chocolate as raspberry nirvana that I polished off at home, but what you probably didn't know is that I've found a contender for one of Leeds' finest burgers. Try for yourself and let me know how you get on... Moar treats? Check in on Yelp and you get 25% off afternoon tea!

The Sunshine Bakery is a delightful and delicious new addition to Chapel Allerton's row of pretty…read morelittle shops on Harrogate Road. I just love the name - so twee and smile-inducing! As soon as I heard about it I just knew I had to check it out ASAP! I have both the requisite sweet tooth and and a love of all things kitsch and vintage-inspired. Hence I LOVE The Sunshine Bakery! The outside of the shop is painted a sumptuous deep plum colour and the sign features gold, hand-painted lettering with a quaint feel. Inside the walls are covered in oh-so-vintage pink flocked wall paper...but to be honest that's not exactly what your eyes are drawn to with all the tasty treats on display! Anyone with a particular predilection for sweetmeats will be literally drooling all over the shop! The cupcakes cry 'EAT ME' with their generous helpings of many-coloured icing and array of flavours. There are also such delights as champagne truffles, as well as slightly less exciting (though very delicious I'm sure) savoury items including sandwiches and soups as well as tea and coffee. There is a lovely atmosphere at The Sunshine Bakery, with friendly, smiling staff, and the customers seeming very happy to be there and oh so close to their next cupcake fix! I also opted for Eton Mess...it was absolutely delicious! If you live in Chapel Allerton you may find yourself trying desperately to avoid the temptation to visit the Sunshine Bakery daily...luckily for my health I live a reasonably long bike ride away...however, the exercise required to get there will probably just allow me to justify a rampant gorge-fest upon arrival! YUM!

Moi: Sounds lovely. Pass the fat free chicken salad would you? Man: I used to work there, I made the chocolate boxes out of chocolate. Moi: Fantastico. Is that my Diet Coke? Man: They're boxes of chocolates, made from chocolate and filled with truffles. Moi: *CLANG* *CLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANG* Luckily for the boyfriend he survived being clubbed over the head repeatedly with a frying pan and off to Otley we went. And there I was introduced to Mr Bun the Baker, sorry, I mean Trevor of Patisserie Viennoise. Creator of MANY WONDERFUL GOOEY CHOCOLATEY CAKEY TYPE THINGS. Things SO gooey and chocolatey and beautiful that you can hardly bring yourself to smash them into your mouth. For about 4 picoseconds. I never thought it would be possible to drop £35 in a patisserie but what the hell do I know? All I can say (seriously because my mouth is still stuck together with cocoa and butterfat) is that when a man buys you £35 worth of cake, florentines and chocolate truffles in a chocolate box made from chocolate it's frankly rude to pass on even the merest molecule of it. Slimming World. I am so so so so sorry.

The fruit scones were light as air and served with the option of jam or lemon curd.

We added a baby bottle of prosecco for £5.50. I can't wait to go back! Best afternoon tea I've had!

As well as making wedding/celebration cakes to order they sell beautiful cakes and scones and fancy pastries. They are also chocolatiers and stock seasonally appropriate novelty items. Items are presented beautifully and therefore can be given as gifts or proudly taken to parties. The mince pies are Christmas were lovely, and I can highly recommend the almond macaroons and the trifle if you are looking for an easy sweet. Maybe not a great stop for the calorie counters out there but I suppose if you jogged there a little treat wouldn't hurt!

They seem to have scaled back in their remaining stores, including this one, going back to the basics of coffee and cake, with good service, which is what they seem to do best. Sadly, this seems to mean scaling back and removing most gluten-free options. Sandwiches and Afternoon Tea options are also available. The male staff member working on my most recent visit was very friendly, although the members of my party did mention they found the coffee to be too strong. Prices were reasonable and in line with most other chains in the area. The interior seemed small but comfortable, and they did have around 2-3 tables outside It wouldn't be somewhere I'd return to, but a useful business to have in Leeds city centre, and I hope things do turn around for them as it would be sad for them to have to shut more branches. 3*
