Maude Coffee Roasters★★★ Purist

Maude is Leeds' own roastery with a cafe attached, not the other way round; expect the coffee to taste like someone actually cares where it came from.

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

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.
