Loaf Far Headingley

You'll find yourself on Otley Road in Headingley, where the independent shops cluster and students mingle with young professionals. Loaf Far is the sort of café that makes you understand why people bang on about the neighbourhood – it's got that perfect balance of being genuinely good at what it does without trying too hard. The brunch menu's solid, the coffee tastes like someone cares, and there's enough of a buzz in here that you don't feel awkward sitting alone with a book or laptop, but it's not so rammed you can't actually hear yourself think.
