Literary fame for 21 Co.!

It has come to our attention that our 21 Co. café and shop has been immortalised in writing!

In the book Impunity: Rough justice for murder, part of the DI Gardener crime fiction series by Ray Clark, the protagonist visits 21 Co. because he “loves the place” and “has a weakness” for our homemade cheese scones with butter!

If you’d like to walk in DI Stewart Gardener’s footsteps and try out our now famed homemade cheese scones for yourself, we’re open:

  • Monday: Closed
  • Tuesday: 10am - 3pm
  • Wednesday: 9.30am - 4pm
  • Thursday: 9.30am - 4pm
  • Friday: 9.30am - 4pm
  • Saturday: 9.30am - 4pm
  • Sunday: 10.30am - 4pm

You can find us, as DI Gardener did, at Unit 32, Headingley Central, Otley Rd, Leeds LS6 2UE.

And, as is mentioned in the book, every time you buy a drink, snack or something from our gorgeous shop, you’re supporting paid employment for people with Down syndrome and contributing to a small local charity, Sunshine & Smiles!
