Located in Munro house near the bus station, this looks like the start of some very exciting happenings for the building.
The cafe is in very early days- it only opened last Monday so they are still finding their feet. Sandwiches are prepared at the Woodhouse lane shop with their own bread baked in house with the usual imaginative fillings.
This does mean that you have to choose from what is there as they are not making things to order and the menu is limited to sandwiches and salads with coffee or a canned/ bottled drink.
They had nearly sold out when I went (they had been doubling stock every day) so I had a limited choice. I went for a sandwich of hummous, olives, jalapino and salad. Apart from being a little on the hot side, it was really enjoyable and the bread was amazing.
There was no plate and the coffee was in a paper cup. I personally prefer a proper cup if sitting in but as I have said before, its early days so this might come about later.
The surroundings are really cool and arty and there was a range of hand made Tshirts up on the wall available to buy. This is a really nice addition to the independent Leeds cafe scene.
*UPDATED 15/08/2011* Today was the official launch of the cafe. They now have proper cups and plates.

Hi Katie,
Thanks very much for the review, you are speedy! As you say, we are very much still finding our feet and as I write this we're only halfway through our second week. I'm so glad you were happy with your sandwich. I can tell you that we do now have proper plates and our crockery is coming very soon. Nothing happens quite as quickly as you would like it to!
Our Grand Opening is this coming Monday, 15th August. We will have sweet treat samples and a raffle ticket with every purchase, should be festive. Hopefully all of the kinks will be worked out by then.
Thanks again!
Sara
