Loved Manchester brunch spot, Federal Cafe and Bar is coming to Leeds
Since opening in Manchester, 2014, Federal Cafe and Bar has flourished into a popular local favourite, serving fantastic brunch in the city.
Now, we’re thrilled to hear that this Aussie-inspired hotspot has selected Leeds City Centre as their first new location outside of Manchester – Federal Leeds is soon to be.
Their menu includes breakfast favourites, like sweet French toast, Turkish eggs and cheddar sweetcorn fritters with sweet chilli.
This new Leeds opening is taking over the former The Collective Inc by Craig Rogan, which offered a day-night menus in a unique interior space.
Now, you’ll soon be able to enjoy classic barista-made coffees ( their latte art is particularly impressive) as well as iced blueberry matchas and sparkling boozy breakfast cocktails from Federal Cafe and Bar.
Founder Claudio Ribeiro and Social Media Manager Emily Ribeiro have worked together to expand Federal Cafe and Bar, which now has three locations in Manchester and continues to score raving reviews.
They pride themselves on sourcing ingredients from sustainable, ethical, and independent farms, roasteries and suppliers.
There’s no wonder this cafe and bars’ fresh, ever-changing brunch dishes and friendly service have proved such a hit with the Manchester crowd.
Could Federal Leeds soon be the best Brunch spot in the city?
Having signed a lease on the 34, Boar Lane, Federal Cafe & Bar are beginning their Leeds journey alongside a community of local businesses.
Keep your eyes peeled for more information soon – we just can’t wait to visit Federal, Leeds.
