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.

What we love

  • Hot and iced coffee both on the menu, not just a default house shot.
  • Coffee quality called out independently across multiple visits, unprompted.
  • Parked near QMC, a genuinely useful stop on that stretch of Lenton.

Outpost Coffee Roasters★★★ Purist

Outpost roast their own beans in Nottingham, sourcing single origins from Ethiopia and Kenya. Buy a bag and it becomes the benchmark.

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.
