Your local, from morning to night.

Breakfast, brunch, coffee, cocktails and more across three Residence locations in Leeds.

Welcome to Residence.

Welcome to Residence. Just as the name suggests, we built this brand around a simple concept, a dining destination where everyone could have a sense of that ‘home away from home’ feeling. We offer delicious yet simple, heartwarming food, in a friendly and cozy environment. We have grown from a little cafe trying to survive through covid, to a recognised brand in the city of Leeds. With three established venues, we are excited to be able to offer our concept to more and more places in the city we call home.

The food

Brunch is kind of our thing.

Come hungry. From a proper Full English and loaded Rancheros to our Nashville Chicken Hollandaise, Steak & Eggs and stacks of buttermilk pancakes, our daytime menu is all about big flavours and generous plates. Comforting classics sit alongside bold brunch favourites, sweeter treats and seasonal specials — all made to be properly enjoyed, whether you’re settling in for breakfast, brunch or a long lunch.
