Popinas

Breakfast shouldn’t just be restricted to the morning and Popina’s know this, that’s why they sere it all day long to those who know that a full English is still appropriate at dinner time. They have good vegetarian options and a great omelette selection for those who aren’t so keen on a fry up. If you do love fry up’s however, then it’s worth trying the mega breakfast, Popina’s own version of the man vs food challenge, they promise if you eat it you get added to the prestigious mega eating challenge board and win a much sought after key ring.

The Joint

The Leeds independent start up venture Get Baked, that delivered sweet treats to your door and was much loved by students.

Global Tribe Cafe

Breakfast doesn’t always have to be unhealthy fry ups and fatty pancakes. Whilst these are great sometimes it’s nice to start the day healthily. At least that’s what the people at Global Tribe Cafe think, having created a delicious breakfast menu that is totally vegan and vegetarian. Considering the vegetarian breakfast options can sometimes be a little unimaginative this is a refreshing take on breakfast classics such as the full English packed full of things that are actually good for you. The cafe is warm and cosy, perfect for escaping the harsh winter months and the staff all friendly and inviting.
