Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Burnt Yates

"Wapentake is a café, pub and bakery designed to create a little piece of Yorkshire. Although I think of Wapentake as more of a pub than a café in that they serve up local beers, Yorkshire puddings (and Yorkshire pudding burgers!), and crisp butties, they absolutely function as a café too. They focus on all things local, with coffee from a family-run company in Skipton called Coffee Care, tea from Taylors of Harrogate and all cakes are baked on site."

"Eating out in Leeds got reet gradely the moment Wapentake sprung onto the scene. Part cafe, part bar and 100% obsessed with God’s Own Country, this tasty hideout gives you a serious case of the warm and fuzzies by serving up Yorkshire favourites with true Yorkshire hospitality. There’s local beers, local gins and local ingredients too, like meat from Kirkgate Butchers and dairy delights from Whitakers Farmhouse Eggs."

"If you don’t mind going a little out of your way to find a great Leeds coffee shop, you should hunt out Cafe 164, in their little nook on the ground floor of Munro House. Expect all kinds of sandwiches, salads and cakes, which are the ideal accompaniment to their mighty fine coffee. Their house blend has been made to complement the food but they also use a range of local and national independent suppliers, from Leeds’ North Star and Maude to Casa Espresso in Bradford and Bruce and Luke’s in Cumbria."

"Serving speciality espresso based coffees from a range of local and independent suppliers, Cafe 164 provides a great array of choice, including rotations from North Star Coffee, Bruce and Luke's, Casa Espresso and Maude Coffee. Visit: Munro House, Duke Street, LS9 8AG - cafe164.com"

"If you are in for a little adventure in finding the best coffee, Café 164 is for you. The cozy café is located on the ground floor of Munro House. The wide variety of sandwiches and cakes are perfect complements to their coffee."

"Having enjoyed such success in neighbouring Leeds, hummus bar Humpit has brought their falafel and pitta packs to the streets of York. Opened in February 2018, Humpit has already established itself as a firm favourite with the city’s student scene. One of their filled pittas will set you back £4.50 and comes loaded with falafels, hummus, salad and pickles."

"Head to Church Street to Humpit, the Hummus and Pita Bear where the menu is totally vegan!. Their menu has three items; salad bowls, hummus bowls and loaded pitas. You can choose your ingredients for the salad bowl, and the hummus bowls and loaded pitas come with chickpeas, pickles, olives, falafel and more."

"I usually get the filled pitta which is a good place to start if you're not sure what to order. The staff are lovely, very energetic, and happy to accommodate to your preferences if you do not like specific items. yorkpitasaladstuffedcauliflower"

"The Sweet Centre is another one of Bradford’s established curry houses, they have been open an astonishing 53 years. They were one of the first Asian cuisine restaurants to open in Yorkshire, originally opening as an Asian sweet shop. They also have many former employees who now have their own successful restaurants because of the rigorous and high quality training they received."

"28/05/2021: Visited from London, after a few people highly recommended sweet centre to me. Our first stop was sweet centre then to visit family. We arrived at around 10 am and was amazed to see how popular this establishment was."

"You don’t have to miss out on all the delicious donuts in Leeds thanks to Wildcraft Bakery. They make proper, yeast-risen fried donuts, so you can enjoy all of the naughtiness with none of the gluten. Their delightfully fluffy dough brings together a blend of rice flour and tapioca with water, eggs and sourdough yeast."

"Unit 13, Penraevon Industrial Estate, Leeds LS7 2AWLeeds’ gluten-free bakery also serves up vegan doughnuts, whoopie pies and other treats from their shop just outside the city centre."

"Barley Hall is a timber framed medieval townhouse lying behind Stonegate, accessed by a narrow snicket. The 14th century house was concealed under the framework of a more modern building and was only discovered during renovation work in the 1980’s. Barley Hall, particularly its recreated banqueting hall, will provide visitors with an accurate experience of what life was like in medieval York."

"This restored medieval townhouse, tucked down an alleyway, includes a permanent exhibition of life in the times of Henry VIII. It was once the home of York’s Lord Mayor. The centrepiece is a double-height banquet..."

"In a city with the biggest student population outside of London, it would be absurd for the prevailing university culture not to have some influence on the art scene. Housed within the University of Leeds campus in the Grade II listed Art Deco Parkinson Building, The Stanley and Audrey Burton Gallery showcases a mix of contemporary art as well as works from the university’s special collections department spanning over 200 years. The gallery expectedly supports and promotes its students’ and its graduates’ work, in addition to displays from local artists and those from further afield."

"You don’t have to be a student to enjoy the art of The Stanley and Audrey Burton Gallery at the University of Leeds. Since 1970, it’s been home to the University Art Collection, which features ceramics, photographs and sculpture. That’s not all – you can see an incredible selection of British and European paintings, drawings and prints from 17th century to the present day."

"This much-beloved watering hole is the sister bar to one of Leeds’ oldest pub, Whitelocks. Whilst the former is the place to head for the more classic ales, Turks Head is the more modern choice, with a plethora of interesting craft ales, gins, and cocktails. The beer garden which sits in the alleyway just off Briggate is lively and atmospheric all year round, with plenty of seating, and canopies with heaters for those unpredictable British summer days."
