Little Leeds

Little Leeds is a family cafe and play space in Moortown, run by two mums, with a warm community feel that makes it a genuine go-to during maternity leave and beyond. There is a cosy indoor play area alongside a cafe serving good coffee and food, with Leeds Deli next door adding to the offer (their focaccia comes highly recommended). The space is wheelchair accessible, with both an accessible entrance and parking available.

Beyond the everyday drop-in, there is a full calendar of events and classes to book onto, from mat leave mornings and baby massage to pottery, character events, baby raves, and first aid classes. The Little Room at the back is available for private hire, whether that is a children's party or something a little different like a bridal brunch. A loyalty points scheme rewards regular visitors with free play sessions and event discounts.

It suits parents with babies and younger children particularly well, and the staff are known for being friendly and genuinely helpful when you are managing on your own with more than one child. If you are looking for somewhere to meet other parents, keep the children occupied, and actually enjoy a decent meal yourself, this is a solid choice in north Leeds.
