When searching for a sophisticated daytime spot, Browns Brasserie & Bar ticks all the boxes. Surrounded by 1920s furnishings with Art Deco vibes, you can tuck into prawn brioche rolls and clotted cream scones, then toast to a classy day out by swigging some bubbles.
For afternoon tea in Leeds, make your way to The End. This cocktail bar hosts a cracking one every Saturday from 2pm to 4pm. Enjoy tucking into small treats, alongside free-flowing boozy bevvies such as prosecco and G&Ts.
Every day of the week for £15, you can treat yourself to a range of mini wraps and chocolates in Slug and Lettuce on Park Row or Boar Lane. Fancy a slightly boozier daytime meal? Make it tipsy and add two glasses of prosecco, by spending just £6 more.
Few places are more attractive than The Lost & Found when it comes to a vegetarian afternoon tea. While in this grand Victorian building, try the mushroom truffle brioche or crostini with guacamole as espresso martinis are poured. Otherwise, head to Greek Street to uncover their sister venue.
If you want a portion of glamour with savouries, scones and sweet treats, The Ivy Leeds is calling. Boasting elegant yet lively interiors, including vibrant artwork donning the walls, it's understandable why famous faces are often here sipping sparkling wine in the early arvo.
SkyLounge boasts panoramic city views, providing the perfect moment for you to work through savoury gems, like pulled chicken on ciabatta, before the sweet and baked courses arrive. This iconic landmark is a stunning option for an afternoon tea in Leeds city centre.
