Sebby’s Cafe & Deli

This is a relatively new spot in Headingley town, and one that I should really frequent more. In fact, one that I would recommend to even non-​locals to LS6, as my experience here was dandy and it’s not somewhere you’d think to go — so allow me to place it in your mind thoughts for future brunching.
I’d spotted them crop up on Unilocal a few months back, and had bookmarked them in my head. I love brunch, and I don’t know of many places in Leeds that serve it, so it had to be visited. The chap and I made the trip up a few weeks ago on one semi-​sunny Sunday, a short but pleasant constitutional from my house, and wandered in.
Being as the windows are single pane, and the kitchen gets hot inside, the windows were completely steamed up and it was quite warm inside. That mattered not, as they have a few seats al fresco, which still feels like a holiday to me, even if Otley road is busying away right next to you. It afforded us the opportunity to watch a plucky crow investigate a bin whilst we waited for our order, which is an added bonus. (Not one I can promise you’ll have when you visit, mind.) I’m not sure if I mentioned how much I love crows, but that’s for another piece of writing.
I ordered a coffee, cherry cola of the Fentimans variety (the best one) and the French toast with bacon and maple syrup. The chap had eggs, although I’m sure if I recall correctly, he was tempted by a breakfast burrito. The food arrived fairly quickly, and I’ve nothing but praise for my French toast. It was as eggy as you like, crispy in some places, soggy in others, and had a plentiful pot of syrup to accompany. The bacon was perhaps a little too crispy for my liking — I’ve one or two fillings that I always fear breaking — but of course, I ate it all up. I’ll just ask for it a little softer next time.
You can partake of more English style eats here, bacon sandwiches and the like, but really it’s all about the brunch. And with cushions, magazines, papers, and other cosy accoutrements inside, I can see this being a warming little spot come the colder weather. Until then, soak up that sun, and grab an afternoon treat!
