The Marvellous Tearoom is situated on the ground floor of Birds Yard on Kirkgate in Leeds city centre. Ok this place is not technically a restaurant, nor do they serve main meals, however, I think it deserves a review as it lives up to the claim “marvellous”. The perfect place to stop and rest those weary legs after a days shopping. This place is ideal for those who love a good cuppa and are partial to a piece of cake.
Not far from the bus station this vintage tea room is located on a quiet street away from the hustle and bustle of the crowds.
On arrival you will immediately feel welcome. This tearoom oozes character and charm appealing to all ages and particularly ladies. The staff are really welcoming and friendly, they took the time to chat with us at our table. The décor is full of vintage treasures that take you down memory lane.
They serve a selection of tea room treats from crumpets and toast to cakes and pies - all of which are home made. They sell freshly squeezed juices, traditional lemonades and thick milkshakes not to mention an array of teas from Yorkshire to Earl Grey. They also serve fresh sandwiches ideal if you want a light lunch.
The teas are served in traditional tea pots with mis-matched china teacups and saucers. The menus are cleverly crafted from old Penguin books.
The lighting is unusual, chandeliers made from cups and saucers suspended upside down. You’ll find a relaxed atmosphere here with a 1950’s radio in the corner playing tracks from years ago, you may not remember them but your mum or Gran would.
You will also find a stack of old retro board games on the back wall and a tuck shop selling traditional candy and souvenirs. On the opposite wall you will see some vintage pieces of jewellery, accessories and clothing all of which are available to buy.
I highly recommend you visit the website where you can buy key vintage pieces from teacups and saucers to candles and tea cosy’s. The lovely ladies are also available for events/parties and are often seen at festivals gracing the public with their charm. The Marvellous Tearoom is good value and completely different to anywhere else in Leeds so a great venue to meet with friends, to take your mum or to show someone new to Leeds somewhere a little quirky.
