About this place

Tropical World Cafe sits within the Tropical World attraction in Roundhay. Morning snacks including breakfast sandwiches and toasted items available until midday. It is run by Leeds City Council as part of the wider Tropical World site.

The menu covers a good range throughout the day: cold sandwiches, salads, soup, jacket potatoes, paninis, and stone-baked pizzas cooked fresh in the pizza oven at the outdoor Tropical Lookout counter (open subject to weather). There is a solid selection of cakes and tray bakes, and children's meals come with a drink included. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are on the menu, and staff can help with allergen queries.

bear in mind that hot food can take 25-35 minutes during busy periods, so it is worth ordering before the children start to flag.

It works well as a lunch stop rather than just a quick snack break, and the gift shop nearby gives children something to do while you wait.
