Butler's
Step into Butler's Cafe, a hidden gem nestled along the picturesque canal of Kirkstall, Leeds. This delightful cafe not only offers a warm and inviting atmosphere but also the perfect spot for a relaxing meal or a refreshing break after a scenic stroll by the water. As you approach the cafe, you'll notice the friendly vibe that welcomes everyone, including your four-legged friends, making it a truly dog-friendly establishment.
The moment you enter, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air, instantly enticing your senses. Customers rave about the excellent coffee—one visitor, Oliver Webber, noted, "the coffee was really good" and appreciated the welcoming nature of the staff. The charming ladies who work at Butler's are known for their warm smiles and genuine hospitality, which adds a personal touch to each visit.
Butler's offers a basic yet carefully curated menu featuring delightful homemade specials that cater to breakfast, lunch, or a simple coffee break. Whether you’re stopping in for a hearty tuna jacket or indulging in one of their renowned sweet treats, you’ll find each dish crafted with love. Sophie Davis, a regular patron, appreciates the "very reasonable prices" and the cafe’s perfect location for a leisurely post-meal walk along the canal.
Speaking of treats, don’t miss the cafe’s decadent brownies and cakes, praised for their exceptional taste by Stephanie Carter, who couldn’t resist mentioning the "amazing" creations of the Irish baker. Imagine sinking your teeth into a rich, chocolatey brownie with a perfectly balanced sweetness. It’s the kind of dessert that's best shared but might be too good to offer around!
Whether you’ve just wrapped up a long dog walk or are celebrating a special occasion—like the lovely 40th Anniversary party hosted here as mentioned by Peter Spedding—Butler's makes every experience memorable. The superb service and delightful ambiance ensure that once you step inside, you’ll want to return.
So, if you find yourself in Kirkstall, don’t just pass by the canal; make it a point to visit Butler's. Enjoy great coffee, friendly faces, and indulgent treats that’ll make your day just that much brighter. It’s a cozy haven waiting for you!
