Laynes
Leeds, United Kingdom
The read// why locals go
Laynes began as an espresso bar on New Station Street, seconds from the Leeds station exit, and it still treats coffee as the main event. Around that sits a genuine kitchen doing breakfast and lunch, with pastries and sweet things baked at the company's own bakery over in Armley. Later in the day a short list of wines, beers and coffee cocktails takes over. Prices are gentle — around nine pounds for a plate — and vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options run through the menu. There are a few tables outside. For anyone arriving by train, it is the first good thing in the city.
