Went today for lunch and it was fantastic! Went because of how close it is to uni and was met with delicious food and great service.
Me and my partner sat in to read and eat. We got a baguette to share which was toasted, it was delicious. We also had cookies and a penunt butter brownie, I'd highly recommend the brownie, it was incredible.
I sat with a vanilla tea pot, which was very nice, its a fair price at £1.80 which lasted several cups.
Can't wait to come by again.

I recently revisited Pickards Cafe, nestled in front of Leeds University's iconic Parkinson Building, and I must say, it was an absolute delight!
Being a dedicated coffee aficionado, I couldn't resist the temptation to give their brew another shot, and I'm thrilled that I did. The price is right on the money - £2.40 for a regular cup and £2.80 for a large one.
But what truly sets this place apart is the warm welcome from the cafe manager, Jesus. His positive and inviting attitude immediately made me feel at home. The service here is not just fast; it's exceptionally professional. I was pleasantly surprised by the extensive array of sandwiches and bagels that could be toasted to perfection upon request.
Now, onto the main event - the coffee. It's more than decent; it's a fantastic value for the price.
Sure, the shop could use a bit of a facelift in terms of its interior, but when you're in need of a quick grab-and-go service, it's more than acceptable.
In summary, I can't recommend Pickards Cafe enough. I'll definitely be making it a regular stop on my coffee adventures. It's a hidden gem in the heart of Leeds University, thanks to the outstanding coffee, friendly service, and wallet-friendly prices. Five stars without a doubt!
Thanks
A great find, big (really big) sourdough baguette sandwiches with lots of filling, taste is really good and quality ingredients. Good value given the size and quality Vs others. Will definitely be getting lunch from here more often!
We called here for a drink and a muffin, amazing pot of tea only 1.80 and got 4 cups out of it!! My daughter had a iced frappe with soya milk she said it was the best ever had.
Very delicious and hot panini, the ham they use has a nice flavour!
I also got myself the Russian caravan tea out of all the lovely varieties to pick from. that was served immediately so very hot! It has a nice taste but its not quite strong enough for my taste but maybe that's because it didn't have time to steep properly.
The staff member that served me was nice and very quick with heating my food and making my tea :]
Please give a visit if you fancy something nice that isn't greasy fast food!
Sandwiches are awesome 👌
Just I wish smaller ones were available cause the size of Sandwiches is quite large!
This place was really nice and chilled. Reckon I had the best cup of tea I've ever had in here... if the owner reads it hopefully you can tell me the brand of english breakfast tea you use cuz I dont live in leeds and it was amazing so i cant just come to get more. Yuummmmmy
I have just come back from my lunch break at pickards and I was compelled to write a review. I'm on a personal mission to find the best sandwich in England. My god does pickards sweet potato, almond shavings, halloumi and chilli mayo enter top tier. A seriously delicious sandwich, the size of a walking stick, you could fight crime with it, sail across the river on that sourdough ! A M A Z I N G
Very nice, but would be nice if you didn't use plastic to wrap the sandwiches, since they are meant to be eaten on the day, I'm not sure plastic is necessary. I'm sure the environmentally concious young people you serve would be appreciative.
Also-would be great if you could actually respond to my comment rather than just "Thanks!" - Thanks! in advance!
The best selection of sandwiches in Leeds. I went for the blue cheese, chicory and beetroot sandwich. Absolutely mindblowing. Fantastic selection of tea too all served by friendly staff. I'll definitely be going back
