Federal, the Antipodean brunch spot regularly ranked among the top in Manchester, is heading over the Pennines to open its first Yorkshire outlet in Leeds.
Established in the Northern Quarter in 2014, Federal is inspired by Kiwi and Aussie neighbourhood cafés, and has built a global reputation for serving exceptional coffee, standout brunch dishes and offering a warm, welcoming service.
You’ll know it by the queues snaking out of their city centre spots every weekend, now Leeds is set to get a slice of the action. The new 1,500 sq ft Leeds venue, which will be located on Boar Lane in the city centre, will seat 70 guests and is due to open this autumn.
Diners in Leeds can expect to enjoy all-day brunch menu including favourites such as French toast, steak and eggs, halloumi and shrooms and regular specials. Drinks range from expertly crafted coffee and teas to fresh juices, wine, beer and cocktails.
Founded by owner Claudio Ribeiro, the brand has firmly established itself over the last decade as Manchester’s favourite brunch hangout and has grown to four outlets with venues in the Northern Quarter, Deansgate, Oxford Road and a coffee cart in Altrincham.
Speaking about his decision to expand Federal to Leeds, Ribeiro, said: “Choosing Leeds for our first café outside Manchester felt like the natural next step. Leeds has many similarities to Manchester with the same buzz and a growing independent brunch and coffee scene.
“We don’t expand for the sake of it; we wait for the right time and the right energy for Federal. Everything we do is fuelled by passion for great brunch and great coffee and creating the perfect space for every occasion and every type of customer.”
Federal Leeds is set to open this autumn.
