Flamingos Coffee House
Having opened in late 2018, situated in Central Arcade in Leeds City Centre, Flamingos is Leeds's only dry, late night LGBT+ friendly Coffee House, open 7 days a week. Are you a local LGBT+ community group looking for a free meeting space (particularly in the evening). If so, get in touch! Our charity/cause of the month changes every 4 weeks, and usually supports a local LGBT+ good cause, community group or organisation.

For this month, 1 from the sale of each Rainbow Cake slice will go directly to them, as well as the proceeds from a number of events we hold each month such as our monthly quiznight and book sale. Flamingos are proud to support small local businesses, just like us! Much of our food is locally sourced (with our salads and sandwiches made on site) and we only serve organic Fairtrade certified tea and ethically sourced North Star coffees.
Services
Now we have returned to lockdown and Flamingos Coffee House is closed, we are again offering a home grocery delivery service. We are continuing with a trial in the Kirkstall area, and if successful we will look to expand and deliver to other areas of Leeds. Delivery is FREE! We will then send you an invoice for payment (or cash on delivery).
Last week, a group of wonderful members of our community came together to set up a crowdfunding page to help us through the next few months. It's terrifying, but many small independents probably won't make it through- and Flamingos is going to struggle, too. Unfortunately, despite numerous government announcements of support, this support is not coming through.
Many of you have asked if you can purchase coffee beans/ground coffee & gift vouchers online. Our lovely neighbours at EcoTopia have added a Flamingos section to their online shop to allow us to sell these. We have set up a home grocery delivery service - starting first as a trial in the Kirkstall area.
On arrival you can make a name tag with your name, pronouns, and anything else you might want to include that you think will be important when meeting new people. There will be time at the end for everyone to mingle and continue conversations - and speak to any other people you have not had the chance to speak to yet!

Went in to grab some drinks, my friend and I got regular drinks and they were a reasonable price. The staff were lovely, it was a safe environment and wasn't too loud or too quiet.

Cosy cafe tucked away from main shopping street.
Service was good although server came across as slightly stressed but still friendly.
Food was average, quite small portions but served relatively quickly. Likewise with the coffee.

Really lovely coffee house/cafe in the city centre which serves excellent coffee (North Star’s Brazil roast when I visited). Lovely staff and tasty food which is reasonably priced. I’ll be back!

Only found this place by chance, due to the man with the sign on the main drag. Lovely little place, really thoughtfully put together. Thoroughly enjoyed the avocado and feta sandwich and the pink flamingo hot chocolates which are wonderfully indulgent. Great place to hang out, eat or do lunch with friends. Unpretentious yet nice and quirky

Had butternut squash soup and was delicious. Also hot chocolate and cinnamon bun. What's not to love on a cold day. Service quick and polite staff.

Great little cafe. Little gem in the middle of nowhere. Something different than the usual well-known cafes. The staff is really nice and polite. Make your way down here. It is worth it 😉

Lovely café with gluten free cakes. The coffees look brilliant and taste that way too! Brilliant and friendly staff. It is also LGBT+ friendly. It has a brilliant and clean bathroom. There are also free to use period products in need. ❤ Loved it

Found this coffee shop by accident and what a great little find.
Super friendly staff who were not pushing and gave time to look at the menu.
I had the pastrami bagel ( with pickles a great little touch) and a long black coffee, all of which was nice and at a really reasonable price
The shop has a lovely chilled vibe.

Lovely little coffee place, extremely inclusive and fantastic staff. Food is simple but really nice with a great selection of cakes and the coffee is some of the best in the city. I'll 100% be coming again, especially for the low prices!

Great place for a cup of good coffee or a tea. They also offer range of sandwiches and cakes. They have customer toilet as well. Interior is good with plenty of sitting space.
