BUNA BEANS is Leeds's only Ethiopian coffee house, running the full Bunna ceremony with incense and spices. Coffee on The Crescent rotates North Star, Oddkin and Routes on the bar.

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

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.

An Ethiopian coffee ceremony, done properly: incense, spices, fifteen minutes of preparation, and a barista who explains the tradition as it unfolds.
House beans, a drinks menu that runs to hojicha and matcha lattes, and Sophie and Tom running it from behind the counter. The kind of neighbourhood café that earns a return visit without making a fuss about it.
The lattes are what bring people back, and the room makes staying easy. A Woodhouse independent where food and events share the space with coffee, and the coffee holds its own.
