Kapow Coffee
4/5
Small and eccentric coffee shop in Thornton's Arcade, Leeds.
I've visited Leeds plenty of times but had yet to try one of their many speciality coffee shops, until I went to Kapow Coffee in Thornton's Arcade in the city centre (one of their two locations).
A tiny, eccentric coffee shop ran by self-confessed coffee nerds with shelves stacked with coffee and tools to take home, they can sling a mean espresso. I ordered a flat white and was greeted with a rich, chocolatey flavour profile. I also ordered an almost croissant which was average as pastries go, but I'll definitely be returning.
