Cafe 21 Co in Headingley

After a successful pop-up café at Carousel last year, Sunshine & Smiles have launched a slightly more permanent establishment, called Café 21 Co. in Headingley, offering work experience and training opportunities for young adults in Leeds who have Down Syndrome.

The café is set out with the Gallery and shop predominantly at the front, selling an array of products such as greetings cards, ceramics, artworks, jewellery, soaps, and the latest Sunshine & Smiles Calendar. The seating is in the centre, providing bistro tables as well as some comfy seating and the counter is to the rear.

Adjacent to the seating area is another area specifically designed for young children, filled with books, toys, cushions and a chalkboard; which proved extremely popular with my mini Mumbler. This designated area is a fantastic concept allowing young families to visit the café without too much upset to other patrons.

The Cafe is open: Thursday 8.30am-3pm; Friday 8.30am-5pm; Saturday 9am-5pm; Sunday 10.30am-4.30pm.

As well as gelato the cafe also serves hot drinks, smoothies and the cakes looked amazing!!  We will certainly be returning to give these a try. They also serve a range of paninis over lunch (12-2pm).

There is plenty of indoor seating and a lovely grassed area with benches outside which look out over the farm and gorgeous countryside surrounding the farm.

There is a small play area outside which has a climbing structure, swings and plenty of space for children to play in.  The play area is probably best suited to children up to 8 years of age.  The youngest Mini Mumbler had a great time watching the tractors come and go on the farm as well!  Inside the cafe there is a play corner with a kitchen, toys and books for younger children.  Moo Music hold a weekly storytime session here.
