You may know Galleria for their epic wood-fired eats, but you can also visit at breakfast time to scoff some tasty pancakes. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, it has to be their stack of three sweet pancakes, complete with blueberries and maple syrup.
Prefer savoury? Opt for their stack of three savoury pancakes, topped with crispy, streaky bacon and drizzled with maple syrup. If you want to spice things up a bit, there’s blueberries, crème fraîche and berry compote to add on.

House of Koko
House of Koko have seriously perfected their pancake game. Both of their Oakwood and Chapel Allerton outposts give you the chance to devour three American-style fluffy pancakes, with your choice of topping combination.
Bacon (vegan or meaty), maple syrup, Nutella, they have all the classics here, but we’re partial to sliced banana and berry compote with a drizzling of Biscoff sauce. Whichever toppings you choose, you (and your belly) can rest easy in knowing you’ve devoured some of the tastiest pancakes in Leeds.

Fluffy Fluffy

Fluffy Fluffy serve pancakes with a twist. Their Japanese soufflė pancakes have proven to be a huge hit in Leeds – egg whites are whipped into soft peaks, then slowly cooked at a low temperature to get that signature jiggle they’re well known for.
But what toppings will call your name? Well, there’s nine to choose from, like cookies and cream or Nutella and banana. Our favourite, you ask? Definitely the crème brûlée. The perfect combination of breakfast and dessert, the pancakes are topped with caramelised sugar and filled with custard.

Farmhouse on Lands Lane is already on the Leeds brunch radar for its super‑fluffy stacks – think fruity blueberry & banana, lip-smacking Biscoff & raspberry snd the cereal swirl version topped with buttercream and caramelised cornflakes.
This year, they’re going big for Pancake Day with a special pancake menu running from Monday 16th February to Monday 2nd March 2026. That gives you plenty of time to try gorgeous menu highlights like strawberry cheesecake and raspberry dolci creations, alongside their usual sweet stacked stars.

Italian-inspired restaurant and café bar Nesso is a haven for desserts, and their pancakes are top-notch. Served all day, every day, you can have them three ways – and whichever you go for, you can expect fluffy, butter-soft pancakes every time.
There’s the savoury-sweet hybrid of maple bacon and ricotta, while those with a sweet tooth will struggle to decide between Biscoff and Dubai chocolate. We love the latter – served with rich pistachio paste, whipped cream, chocolate sauce and kunafa crumbs for that iconic crunch, it’s a real treat.
Nesso, 42 Merrion Street, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS2 8JG & 87 Queen Street, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 8DX.

Their buttermilk pancakes come topped with roasted apple and berries, walnut crumb and custard, but the flavours change regularly. Does it get any better than that?

Laynes
Laynes is a local morning favourite, renowned for its incredible coffee, but why not pair your eye-opening brew with their savoury buckwheat pancakes? They do one version, but they do it so well, there’s no need for indecision.
Order, sit back and watch as this stack of batter-based brilliance comes sashaying out of the kitchen, adorned with a tantalising combo of blueberry compôte, sweet crumble, cheesecake cream and maple syrup. Talk about starting your day right.
