Two floors on Cank Street where the food crowd sets the tone and the coffee earns its place anyway. The Oatly Fog on the menu is the tell.

The Leicester food cafe on Cank Street where the coffee holds its own.

What we love

  • London Oatly Fog on the menu; specialty drink formats taken seriously, not bolted on.
  • Two-floor space in the city centre; relaxed and food-led without shortchanging the cup.
  • Independent; no chain mechanics, and the extraction is made with care.

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.
