A food truck on Leen Gate where the espresso consistently wins over people who came for the food. Worth stopping for the coffee even without an appetite.

Better espresso than a food truck on Leen Gate has any right to pour.

Beam★★ Specialty

Specialty coffee inside a working bookshop and gallery, with food from Small Food Bakery and vinyl on the turntable. The coffee holds its own against everything else the room is doing.

Chapter Café★ Everyday

The coffee on Derby Road is better than the neighbourhood expects, and locals know it. Consistent cups in a cosy room, with a following that comes back specifically for the espresso.

Avocafé by Nutri2Go★ Everyday

A plant-forward cafe in Lenton that earns a specialty coffee call-out from regulars. The wholesome kitchen is the identity; the espresso is worth the stop.
