Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

The Union Coffee House is lovely. They accommodated a large group of us at very short notice. The food and coffee was extremely good and the service was great. I would highly recommend a visit.

We heard about this coffee shop / cafe somewhere although I can’t recall where, however, as we were close and wanted a drink, we sought it out. It from now will be our go to coffee shop in Leeds. Quirkily decorated and with purposely mismatched...crockery it’s not your typical high street coffee shop and its better for it. My request for gluten free was met with the most delicious bree / bacon, walnut, chilli jam and rocket sandwich. My other half had a non gf toasted cheese scone which I am advised was really good. The coffee was excellent. What a find. I hope it continues to provide the fabulous fare we enjoyed so much.More

Little bit of a hidden gem. Have been here a couple of times now and have consistently enjoyed the brunchy/breakfast options! It is tucked around the back of the art gallery - so usually a bit quieter than other options in the city centre and...can get a seat. Wanted to say a big thank you to the member of staff who came over to give my dad a cerated knife on our most recent visit. Due to a medical condition, cutting food is hard for him - and the staff member noticed and supported this, without even being asked, in such a kind but also understated way that made us feel so welcome. Thank you.More

It was my first visit during my lunch hour today, and I ordered the carrot, hummus & pomegranate sandwich. Oh my days...delicious! It is so fresh and tasty on beautiful crusty bread. I wish I'd taken a picture but started eating it before I remembered!...I also bought the vegan fruit flapjack (I managed a photo of that) which was soft and packed full of fruit & seeds...gorgeous. I will definitely go back. The only reason I didn't give 5* is that the price could be a bit too much for some in todays situation. The sandwich & flap jack cost me £9.00 so maybe not a Mon-Fri thing but a lovely lunchtime treat maybe once a monthMore

Great selection of gluten free and vegan options. The staff really knew about allergens and had so many dairy free options. It was just a shame that they ran out of the gluten free bread just after lunchtime. But the food we did have and...the coffee was lovely and we’d come back in a heartbeat. The interior was eclectic, vintage and quirky, but comfortable and homely.More

Incredibly small and poor 'chaii' latte lacking any actual chaii or spice. Tasted more like warmed up baby milk. Feel ripped off.

Can’t rate this place enough, the coffee is the best I’ve ever tasted (sourced from North Star), interior is really quirky and retro and the staff are all fantastic, warm and make you feel very welcome!

I first came to the Union coffee house in 2019 in my first term at university. It is just amazing, the food is always perfect and there is so much choice for a vegan (which I am). I normally always go for the avocado and...tomato’s on toast but I chose the chestnut mushrooms with truffle oil for a change and it was just great. The staff are just amazing, so genuinely friendly and chatty, always happy to make amendments to food and very on job with drink refills. Just fabMore

Dropped in for coffee and brunch without pre-booking. We were made very welcome by Sophie and the rest of the staff. The food was great, the coffee was great, and we wouldn’t hesitate to return. Lots of options for vegetarians and vegans too.
