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.

A mobile cart at The Tetley running espresso, aeropress, and filter. The barista will recommend the brew method for what you want before you order, and they're usually right.
