Great coffee shop. Same owner(s) for years. Sit in, sit out front and the side. The antithesis of mainstream chains, in a good way.
Great coffee shop. Been going regularly for around 2 years now. The coffee always hits the spot, great sandwiches for lunch and the almond croissants are top class. Atmosphere is super relaxed but the service is quick, there’s space to work upstairs and there’s plenty of great art and home decor items to buy. Can’t speak highly enough.
Lovely small cafe with lots of cute gift ideas like plants, cards and candles. The Matcha Latte I had was rich and creamy, would prefer a stronger matcha flavour but it is good! Definitely recommend. ————— Revisited the place and this has became my absolute favourite in Leeds! The almond croissant was one of the best I had, not too sweet and the texture was just beyond words. They have a workspace upstairs, free of charge as long as you order something. Two rooms, around 6 tables in total, with sockets for charging on each table, first come first serve but it wasn’t too busy when I went on a Wednesday.
One of the nicest cafes in Leeds in my opinion, there is such a warm and friendly environment, while the general hubbub really brings this cafe to life. The coffee and food was delicious and great place to go for a study sesh, or hanging out with friends or family. The selection of goodies and pastries on display is so tempting too!! Such a brilliant selection for all, meat eaters and veggies/vegans alike!
A great and unique place to hang, with good nosh, decent coffee and friendly service. Plenty of room inside and out, with overflow upstairs in the art gallery! They serve AllPress coffee which is always a sign of potential greatness, so it was easy to pick Bowery out from the vast array of options. Easily the best coffee, ciabatta and crumble i have had in Leeds.

A creative hub in Leeds where art, coffee, and community blend seamlessly.
