About Flamingos Coffee House

Flamingos Coffee House brings together good coffee, fresh food and LGBTQ+ community life in Leeds’ Central Arcade. Its menu includes locally roasted, ethically sourced coffee, teas, iced drinks, chai and matcha alongside pastries, cakes, light bites and all-day favourites. Plant-based and gluten-free choices are also available. The café is designed as a place to connect as much as somewhere to eat and drink. Its calendar includes community meet-ups, social groups and creative Flamingos After Dark events, while its physical and digital noticeboards highlight LGBTQ+ groups, resources and activities across Leeds. Purchases also support the Flamingo Fund, which provides funding for local LGBT community projects. This combination of café, events venue and community hub makes Flamingos an easy daytime stop with a purpose that extends well beyond coffee.

What to expect

Expect a relaxed, proudly LGBTQ+ café that feels equally suited to coffee with a friend, a light lunch or meeting people through a community event. During the day it operates as a welcoming city-centre coffee house; scheduled meet-ups and Flamingos After Dark events bring a more social and creative atmosphere later on.

What a delightful place this is, delicious coffee and a variety of cakes to enjoy, also you can choose a book or 2 to read from their little library section and upon returning the books, you can bring extra books that you have to add to their library for others to enjoy... Such a great, fun, and relaxing place..

Lovely welcoming coffee and food shop in Leeds city centre. Suitable for all with a few people on their own reading books. There is a book swap section which we found cool. The decor is vibration and fun, yet the atmosphere was happy and relaxed so good to take a relaxing stop! Reasonable prices, with a good selection of coffees, teas, cakes and free WiFi. Worth a visit if you’re after an inviting independent coffee shop.

Very sweet LGBTQIA coffee shop with delicious vegan treats and the most welcoming atmosphere. The team was so nice and the coffee was great. I need to go again very soon!

My 16 year old daughter had a very enjoyable brunch/lunch here today. I ordered the apple and cinnamon porridge and Molly ordered a tuna melt on sourdough. Both were delicious 😋 The atmosphere and service were both great and vibe welcoming, relaxed and inclusive. I particularly liked the well stocked book swap and my daughter appreciated the range of toiletries in the ladies! Highly recommend. We will return 😃

Warm and welcoming cafe, staff very friendly and helpful. Cakes absolutely divine (best blueberry muffin I've ever had). Toilet facilities lovely and clean, sanitary provisions are there for emergencies (a huge plus when you're out and about in a busy city).
