Café and bar brand to open its third site

Leeds café and bar brand, Residence, plans to expand with a new outlet in Moortown, North Leeds and a day-to-night concept.

This will be the third location for the eatery which already operates cafés in Headingley and Cookridge.

Residence Moortown aims to blend the comfort of a coffee shop with the sophistication of an evening cocktail bar.

Customers can expect ethically sourced coffees, home baked goods, breakfasts and brunch dishes.

Alongside this, an evening offering will feature freshly made pizzas and expertly crafted cocktails.

Located in the former Barclays Bank building on Harrogate Road, the venue will offer seating for 100 diners.

Additionally, the old bank vault has been repurposed into a traditional-style private dining room. There will also be an outdoor dining area perfect for lazy al fresco brunches.

Residence began as a small café in Cookridge in 2018. Commenting about the latest expansion, general manager Nate Smith, said: “We are always looking to improve and evolve our offer, and we are really excited to bring something a bit different to customers with this new dual-purpose venue.

“Moortown is an energetic and vibrant neighbourhood which makes it the ideal location for our expansion and new concept, and we are very much looking forward to revealing all to our customers.”
