Nova Bakehouse
Leeds, West Yorkshire
One of the standouts in the tranquil Leeds Dock development, this modern open-plan bakery is linked to the adjoining North Star Coffee Shop by a sliding glass door. There’s no seating but you can watch the dough being kneaded while waiting to pick up one of their long-proved sourdough loaves, some almond croissants, pain au chocolat or a bag of chewy chocolate-chip cookies. The counter and shelves are also stacked with all manner of on-trend provisions from esoteric homemade marmalades to Leeds honey, pasta and pulses. Eight-week 'bread subscriptions' available.
