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.

A Leeds roastery with a café attached, not the other way around.

92 Degrees Coffee★★★ Purist

92 Degrees roasts in Liverpool and pours across four Leeds sites. Worth it at all of them.

Raw Coffee Roasters★★ Specialty

Own roastery on Mill Hill, with baristas who know every lot by flavour and will steer you to the right one. Tell them what you're after.

200 Degrees Coffee Shop & Barista School★★ Specialty

200 Degrees roasts in Nottingham and pours the results on Bond Street. The barista school upstairs means the staff making your coffee were trained to do it properly.
