The Calls0.1 mi from Kirkgate centrelast reviewed April 2026

Kapow roasts all its own coffee and rotates single-origin releases with tasting notes as standard, including experimentally processed naturals, so there's usually something new on the shelf worth trying.

Leeds' own roastery, with Kirkgate as the place to drink the batches.

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.
