Central Rd0.1 mi from Kirkgate centrelast reviewed April 2026

A Kirkgate brunch room that took the coffee seriously enough to pour North Star. Come for the food, stay for an espresso that earns it.

North Star in a brunch room that actually means it.

What we love

  • North Star Coffee, Leeds-based specialty roaster, supplies the espresso
  • Latte art on drinks; the preparation care is visible
  • Food is the main event and the crowds know it
  • Central Kirkgate, a short walk from the station

North Star Coffee Kiosk★★★ Purist

North Star's Sovereign Street kiosk, pouring the brand's own roasts. Co-founder Holly Kragiopoulos is a Q Grader; the kiosk format undersells what is behind it.

Maude Coffee Roasters★★★ Purist

Leeds has a destination roastery, and this is it. Roasting on site, running a house blend that treats the cup as the whole point.

92 Degrees★★★ Purist

One of the best flat whites in Leeds, from a cafe that roasts the beans that go in it.
