A Slice of Home is a bakery based at 1 Stonegate Close in Moortown, north Leeds. It trades through A Slice of Home Ltd, incorporated in October 2017 and registered under the SIC codes for the manufacture of bread, fresh pastry and cakes, and for take-away food shops. Alexandra and Edward Garlick are its two directors and its two registered persons with significant control, each holding between 25% and 50% of the shares. The business supplies bakes to local cafés and businesses, makes celebration cakes to order, and posts a range of flavoured brownies across the UK. Its own site says the couple behind it taught in Leeds primary schools for more than 15 years before baking full-time from September 2017, and that they converted their garage into a purpose-built catering kitchen. They also trade at farmers' markets and food festivals across Leeds and West and North Yorkshire.

Bakery · Oakwood

A bakery-café at 75 Street Lane in Roundhay that sells cinnamon rolls and very little else. It trades as Cinnaful Ltd, incorporated in October 2022, with Mahmud Elbadri and Zoherah Hwigi as directors; Companies House registers it for baking, the retail sale of cakes and confectionery, and café service. Rolls come in full and mini sizes, in sweet flavours including pistachio, caramel and Biscoff alongside a plain version, and in savoury forms such as harissa with cheese and olives. Coffee, iced drinks and smoothies are served with them. Local coverage reports that the owners ran a home baking business for two years before taking the shop, and that orders are taken in person or ahead through Instagram rather than through the delivery apps.

Bakery · Harehills

Papa Knafeh is a shop at 11 Harehills Road, LS8, registered with Companies House under the classification for specialist retail of bread, cakes, flour confectionery and sugar confectionery — the code used for bakeries and sweet shops rather than for restaurants. Papa Knafeh Limited was incorporated on 4 November 2025. Hamzeh Mohammed is its sole director and its only person with significant control, holding 75 per cent or more of the shares and voting rights and the right to appoint or remove directors. The business is recent enough that its opening hours and the range it carries are not yet recorded in any published listing, so both are best confirmed directly with the shop.

Paria is an independent cycling-apparel brand and café that opened its first physical shop on Harrogate Road, Chapel Allerton, in July 2023.
