I used to love this place. However, today I ordered an oat milk cappuccino to take out so when the barista just said “cappuccino” when she gave it to me, I questioned it (the normal milk was on the counter too). She went to “check” even though she was the one who made it and then told me it was oat milk. So I left with it but on my walk home I can definitely say it was normal milk due to the taste / lingering after-taste that cows milk leaves. This is unacceptable as I have an allergy. I binned the drink and wasted my money.

Tried two different batch brews - both were Rwandan from Echelon Coffee Roasters and both were incredibly tasty. The person serving was super friendly. The shop was busy with a great atmosphere.

Very disappointed. Clearly the reviews have been “fixed” as our experience was really bad, and we could hear others complaining too. Sad.

The staff here are so lovely and the coffee and hot chocolates are great.

Proud to call this place my local!How people could go to the Starbucks next door is completely beyond me.Service - Every single time I come in I am greeted so nicely by the ever pleasant staff, always courteous and always welcoming.Atmosphere - Lovely local feel, a little gentrification nation sometimes but it's independent coffee shop in Chapel Allerton so it's to be expected.Food and drink - I've never been disappointed by a drink i've had from here. Of course the sandwiches and pastries are quite pricey, but again. You're paying the Chapel Allerton tax on top of the Independent coffee shop tax so I don't mind and they're always delicious!Standouts;Matcha Latte - Yes im basic, yes im white but having had many a Matcha Latte in my time I can safely say this is the best in Leeds.Chai Latte - Aforementioned basic whiteness aside, this Chai Latte is truly so luxurious, so aromatic, so flavourful. I wish I could have this before bed every single night.

Lively little independent coffee shop/cafe. Best coffee I’ve had in a long time. Had a cinnamon pastry which was a little dry but can ignore this as the coffee was so good. Definitely recommended over those national/internationalchain coffee shops.

Such a cute coffee shop that is located heart of Chapel Allerton city centre. Cappuccino tasted great, the shop was nice and clean!There are some outside tables available as well as inside.

I was eying up the cakes which were uncovered had attracted flies . A real put off. The raspberry lemonade was basically sparkling water with a red Berry type cordial..for £3 in a small glass it felt underwhelming. The beetroot salad was lovely but lacking in flavour. Service was

Very good coffee, independent and friendly staff. Seating's pretty basic
As a loyal supporter of local businesses, I regret to share my recent experience at your coffee shop left me feeling dissatisfied. The matcha tasted tasted more like a blend of grass clippings, and the overall pricing seemed excessive for the quality offered. Moreover, the desserts were often disappointingly dry. Additionally, some customers and staff exhibited pretentious attitudes that dampened the community spirit I had hoped to find. Joe and the juice would never do this to me.I believe in the potential of your establishment and wish for improvements that will create a more enjoyable experience for all customers. Honest feedback like this can help businesses grow and thrive. Please consider these points to enhance the quality of your offerings.Sincerity, John smithy

Top notch coffee. Nice pastries etc. Can get a bit noisy inside for chatting. Outdoor seats for when the northern drizzle lets up.

A really nice café with a good atmosphere and with really nice tables outside facing the Chapel Allerton square.Unfortunately, they have a very limited variety of hot food and don't serve brunches.The service could be better whenever you ask about hot food.Excellent coffee, but poor selection of food.

Been a regular here over the last few years when I’m here in the summer (from Australia) The coffee scene has really lifted in Leeds over the past few years and you guys have been part of that. I don’t normally write reviews but just wanted to alert the owners. Previous years never had a problem but your staff were very consistent and we got to know all of them. Coffee was very consistent and of a high standard. This year unfortunately I’ve had a few bad ones. A few weeks ago my flat white was made with almond milk randomly. Another occasion it was brought out in a takeaway cup when I ordered in and I wasn’t offered a replacement. On two other occasions the blending of the milk was way below what you would expect from a specialty coffee shop.I’m assuming you’re struggling to hire competent baristas as they’re seem different everytime I’ve come in this summer.You have a lovely spot (especially in the summer) it’s a shame I’m going elsewhere for fear of not getting a consistent product. A speciality coffee shop should have competent, fully trained barista’s. The beans, the extraction, and the frothing are all fine, the blending of the milk with the coffee is where I’m finding the inconsistency.Hopefully you take this in the right way.

Very busy, which is a good sign. Had some outside tables when we visited. Food was very nice, but a bit complex for small children.
