Tucked beside Leicester Cathedral, an independent counter where a single barista gives the flat white genuine attention. Calm room, small menu, coffee that earns the order.

Beside Leicester Cathedral, a single barista who treats the flat white as the point.

What we love

  • Flat white and espresso drinks consistently well-made; ordered and praised specifically, not as an afterthought
  • Single barista operation, which keeps the standard consistent across visits
  • More variety on the coffee menu than the setting suggests
  • Quiet space beside the cathedral, clean and unhurried

Saints of Mokha Coffee Roasters★★★ Purist

Saints of Mokha carries World Barista Championship credentials and sources its Colombian single origins by name from a family farm. Worth knowing before you order.

Paper Wings Café★★ Specialty

Order a pour-over here and the menu names the producer, not just the country, with a choice between a nutty or fruity bean that most cafés this size don't bother offering.

Leicester Coffee House Company★★ Specialty

Leicester Coffee House Company roasts on a Probat on Granby Street and keeps two named single origins on the bar at any given time, both named to washing-station level.
