These guys know the craic. We went in for a bottomless brunch for my boyfriend's birthday. Straight off the bat, they were cool with letting him wear the sombrero from off the wall. Hilarious. They seated us and immediately served us drinks, and kept serving us drinks. It really was bottomless. They were very attentive and great craic. At the end, we even had the pleasure of meeting Nancy, the French bulldog. She was very polite and enjoyed a good pat! Overall Amazing experience!

Nice place, good choices on the menu. Staff were helpful. Chose this cafe instead of hotel breakfast and we weren't disappointed. Definitely worth a visit.b

More information

On Headingley match days Dare Cafe often becomes a hub for fans and groups — regulars sometimes book consecutively and staff are practised at turning tables into short‑notice group spots upstairs, so asking the team to hold a place for return visits or a second sitting is a common local trick.
