The house espresso comes from a bespoke blend North Star Coffee make specifically for this counter. Ilkley's most deliberately coffee-literate option.

Ilkley's specialty counter, running a commissioned North Star blend rather than whatever ships by default.

What we love

  • House espresso is a bespoke blend commissioned from North Star Coffee, a Leeds specialty roaster
  • Second roaster relationship with J. Atkinsons + co
  • Espresso-focused menu: cortado, flat white, long black, americano, mocha
  • Coffee-literate staff; the distinction between a cortado and a flat white is understood here
  • Rude Health almond milk: a deliberate quality choice over additive-heavy alternatives

La Stazione★ Everyday

The espresso gets its own callout from regulars who could go anywhere on the Ilkley strip. The independent that locals send people to when the chains aren't the answer.

Avanti Coffee House★ Everyday

Independent stop in Ilkley for a cortado or flat white done properly. The food-café setting undersells what's in the cup.

Thirty Nine Coffee Company★ Everyday

Ilkley has its own roaster, and this is it. Four house blends made on-site, positioned firmly outside the specialty conversation.
