List of "greasy spoons" in Leeds.
When starting this research I had noticed a severe decline in proper cafe's in leeds otherwise known as "Greasy Spoons" They have been torn down in favour of modern,sophisticated big corporations. This is a project about Leeds and although the Cafe Nero here is better than Birmingham for example (Which is impossible because everything is better in Birmingham) it's a company that is spread all over the UK. People expect a proper local brew from local people. I can't help but feel a sense of intimacy when in a little greasy spoon. The memorable aesthetic is instantly inviting. They're welcoming and warm and you really get a sense of genuine care from the staff. Where as I see cafe nero/starbucks as a cold,sterile place and I almost feel that tea has sold it's soul. The staff are friendly yes but only because theyre being told to be. To the company they are just robots with a name badge and an apron.
SO Ive narrowed down my Cafe' research to Greasy Spoons only.
Heres a list of some I've found -
LB's Cafe.
LS15 8DX
Hellenic Grill
LS2 7NL
