Ulterior Motives · 20 Jun

July 2026 in West & North Yorkshire (… and the ulterior coffee motive)

For one stretch of July, you can't move in York for early music or in Harrogate for livestock.

The wrong island

I am writing this from Ponta Delgada, where the coffee in front of me was roasted about four streets away. Normally that is the whole story.

North Star Coffee Kiosk★★★ Purist
Kirkgate

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
Kirkgate

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.

92 Degrees Coffee★★★ Purist
City Centre

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