A Yorkshire roastery that roasts to your order, so the beans in the bag are days off the drum rather than weeks. Multiple origins, serious about sourcing, and happy to talk you through what you're drinking.
Kirkgate
The barista is a Q Grader and has judged Cup of Excellence competitions. The kiosk format undersells it.
