Kim-Joy’s Graphic Novel “Turtle Bread” Tackles Baking and Anxiety | Eater

"A charity-run café in Leeds that supports women facing significant disadvantages by offering practical baking and barista training alongside employment opportunities and access to psychotherapy, so participants can work in the café while receiving mental-health support. The program treats baking as an accessible intermediary for building confidence and opening up emotionally, using communal food-making to foster connection, wellbeing, and pathways toward employment — a model that inspired aspects of Kim-Joy’s graphic novel." - Jaya Saxena

A lovely find! I love the ethos behind the business and the great work that they are doing. Staff were so friendly, welcoming, and patient. The service was fantastic! Chai latte was delicious, and the granola was so good I would've bought a bag of the stuff!

An exceptional little cafe, a bit off the beaten track. Excellent chair latte and tuna melt sandwich. Really lovely staff. And it's a social enterprise that helps women get into work. What more could you want?

We loved the Wren. Lots of character and the staff are so friendly. The bacon sandwich is a must. I can highly recommend a visit ☕️

A lovely cafe doing not only lovely snacks, but also helping people who've had some sort of trauma or addiction back into work. The staff also very welcoming.

Great café - initially a bit difficult find but got there in the end - it's in old mill buildings and run as a social enterprise. Staff are very friendly and helpful, even offering extras like tap water. The food is good and pretty reasonable price wise. The building is worth a look, original exposed brickwork etc. The cafe is obviously well regarded, it was very busy with customers both takeaway and eating in. Highly recommended. Near to Mabgate, a street worthy of a visit anyway.

Top recommendation from a friend. Visited for the first time today while waiting for someone at a hospital appointment. There is a lovely bubbly atmosphere, everywhere is clean and tidy and the food is absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. I love the ethos behind this place and the opportunity that it provides as a second chance for disadvantaged women. What’s not to like? If you haven’t visited - do, and if you have already I know you’ll be back because it’s too good not to and there are so many cakes still to try 😉!
