Kapow Coffee

You're walking along The Calls towards the river, and Kapow's the kind of place that makes you stop. It's got that understated cool that comes from people who genuinely care about coffee rather than trying to look like they do. The counter's where the magic happens—watch them pull shots with the focus of someone who's been doing this for years, not months. Whether you want a flat white that tastes like it should or you're keen to explore what a Kenyan single origin can do, they're your lot. It's unpretentious Leeds done right: proper coffee, no faffing about with oat milk cocktails, just excellence in a cup.
