164 is a group of two independent bakeries and coffee shops with a focus on ciabatta and focaccia sandwiches.
We bake our bread on-site at each of our locations every day.
Our Ethos
- We bake our own bread, every day, with just 5 ingredients: water, extra virgin olive oil, yeast, flour and salt.
- This bread forms the basis of our sandwich menu – all our sandwiches are in a hand made ciabatta or focaccia bread.
- We choose our sandwich fillings based on one thing only – quality.
- All of our sandwiches are fresh, every day, without fail, and never roll over to the next day.
- Leftover sandwiches are donated to food and homeless charities.
Ever since its inception in 1994, the name 164 has been associated with a good sandwich
Bakery
We hand make ciabatta and focaccia bread every day in our on-site bakeries.
Fresh, baked on-site and with no additives, enhancers or artificial flavourings. Left over bread is turned into delicious crostini – simply sliced and baked with sea salt, oil and rosemary; a complimentary offering while you wait for your coffee, or for your sandwich to be toasted.
Coffee
Speciality + Traditional
At Café 164 in Headingley the focus is on light, seasonal blends which we rotate from guest roasters, while our house blend has been created to compliment our food offering. At Bakery 164 on Woodhouse Lane, we serve a dark Italian roast, specially crafted to traditional tastes.
Sandwiches
We sell exciting and unusual sandwiches that are packed with flavour, texture and are hearty in size. Our flavour combinations are largely a mixture of Italian and Middle Eastern tastes, while also catering to traditional palates with more classically-oriented recipes.
Catering + Online Ordering
We offer an online ordering, delivery and/or collection service of our sandwiches, cakes and more, and will accommodate last-minute orders or special requests wherever possible. Catering is also available for large or small events.

"It's the end of an era" 😥 @cafe164 #LEEDS https://thehootleeds.com/food-drink/its-the-end-of-an-era-cafe-164-is-closing-its-cult-favourite-cafe-space-and-gallery-after-11-years/
Having spent time on Quarry Hill (inc. living there for 3 years) I’m sad to hear this - lots of fond memories & filled bellies from this wonderful cafe! From coffee shop meetings with friends to emergency hangover sandwiches! Very glad they’ll still be about in Headingley though! https://twitter.com/cafe164/status/1561602063141949441
News from us ❤️
4I’m glad we as an industry are communicating this stuff cos when we inevitably raise prices we don’t want it to be seen as a money grab. https://twitter.com/Manjitskitchen/status/1504139310756511746
