Residence Moortown aims to blend the ‘comfort of a coffee shop with the sophistication of an evening cocktail bar’.
The food and drink offer will include ethically sourced coffees, home-baked goods, breakfasts and brunch dishes as well as a selection of pizzas and cocktails.
Located in the former Barclays Bank building on Harrogate Road, the venue will have seating for 100 diners.
Additionally, the old bank vault has been repurposed into a private dining room and there will also be an outdoor dining area.
It will be the third location for the group, which operates cafés in Headingley and Cookridge.
“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,” says general manager, Nate Smith.
“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.”
Residence began as a small café in Cookridge in 2018.
