Sociable Folk

Really disappointed to order a £5 smoothie that was 80% concentrate apple juice and a frozen berry mix. The ingredients were supposed to be Banana, Blueberry, courgette & ginger. I saw the staff make the drink and thought surely that’s not the smoothie I just ordered- if I had not have seen then I wouldn’t have known. No where does it say it’s an apple juice base, hopefully no one orders the smoothies that is allergic. At £5 that is a gross miss sell, when you order something you trust it has the same fresh ingredients. They did swap it for a coffee with no refund of the difference -feel a bit stung!

Situated in Wellington Place, this is one the best food joints around. Perfect place to hang out with colleagues or enjoy a quick snack or a brunch. Wraps are delicious. I also had the Lotus Biscoff Coffee and it was super silky in taste. Must try!

Working in Wellington Place for a long time but I haven't tried it before. Though it looks busy all the time. The food was nice and tasty, it was a big portion and we swapt one each. Impressed with spanish latte as well. Thanks and will be returning 💕

It is one of the best cafes in Leeds. I am in love with the honey nut crunch! The cakes were delicious as well. The fat white is one if the good choices. However, they offer different choices, including healthy choices. The atmosphere is amazing and the staff are very friendly. They have outdoor seating, which is nice during the sunny days 👍🏻. Not to mention that they offer free wifi for their customers (ask the staff for the password). Highly recommended 👍🏻!

Really enjoyed the coffee and wrap. Good portions and quite a reasonable price. Especially for the city centre. Friendly staff too. Can get very busy at times with staff from neighbouring offices.

Always very busy but usually able to find a seat inside, only been in winter but plenty of places to sit out in the square too. Good vegetarian options on the menu & there are healthier alternatives to a sandwich which are still tasty. Whilst there's often a big queue waiting for take-out orders, they are usually served up quickly

Not very social folk AT ALL. - It Looked like a nice place and seemed to have a good food and coffee offering. Sadly the experience was awful. Despite it being lunch-time pretty much half the menu was not available. I decided to go get a boring Pret sandwich and then come back to get what looked like a nicer coffee here at Social Folk. I ordered a hot chocolate and a pastry. Given i’d just spent the better part of a tenner on a drink and snack, I assumed consuming the Pret sandwich on-site would be ok, how wrong was I. I even asked if it was ok out of curtesy but was bluntly told no as though I’d asked to take a dump in middle of the shop. The rather bland dark hot chocolate was given to me in a takeaway cup, no doubt that saves the lazy rude woman some washing up. AVOID.

This cafe is amazing! A great range of food items on the menu and some lovely coffees and pastries. The place itself has such a cool atmosphere it’s an amazing space to hang out no matter the company you’re keeping. I had the full English breakfast with oat mocha, the whole lot was top quality! The staff were friendly and welcoming, service was fast and efficient despite it being busy. There is Wi-Fi available with the password provided around the cafe, plenty of outdoor seating should the weather allow. If you’re in the area you’d be mad not to give this place a try! How Nero’s can stand the heat coming from this place I have no idea? Based on this experience I would totally recommend you visit!

Simple Soup. Simple Pleasures. Spacious, airy, great food, lovely staff, outside area for the day or two it is nice weather, very reasonable prices, good coffee and they stock Blood Orange San Pelligrino! I am happy and will be returning :)

Sociable Folk somehow manage to combine the holy trinity that all cafes seek but so few attain: customer service, food and coffee. Most places only ever get two, but Sociable Folk manages to hit three out of three the three times I've been there. First, customer service: Maybe it's my London ways, maybe it's just Leeds, but the people in here are generally friendly. Second, food: I had a really nice sandwich here when I popped in for lunch. I was quite frankly astounded by the fact that the food was that nice and the portions were significant given the prices. Yes, I live in London and perhaps my standard price points are higher than others, so that's why I'm putting this disclaimer in. I did genuinely think the prices were really affordable here, and would contemplate eating lunch here weekly, if I lived in Leeds. Last, but not least, coffee: Sociable Folk use North Star, a micro-roaster based in Leeds. The flat white I had was phenomenal, with intense notes of berries, the kind of taste you only ever really get with a natural coffee. It was incredible, and will rank as one of the best coffees I have had this year (which is why I'm writing this review in December). I have not been up to Leeds since the first quarter of this year, and, to be perfectly honest, I miss Sociable Folk. It is a nice cosy place, the kind of cafe I'd love to have as my local so that I can chill out there with friends or just get a break from work.
