About Kapow Coffee

 

Since we opened our doors in 2013, Kapow Coffee has been all about bringing the people of Leeds great-tasting coffee. Our journey started with a simple idea: do our best, try out lots of coffee, and experiment with different brew methods to see what we could create. It’s been a fantastic ride, and every year brings something new to learn and share with you.

 

By 2019, after hosting beans from roasters near and far, we teamed up with the talented Zach from Chipp Coffee Co to develop our very own blend. This partnership gives us more control over the taste and quality of our coffee without diving into roasting ourselves (because, let’s face it, there’s already plenty to geek out about!).

 

With two shops, a small but dedicated team, and a roaster working directly in our Thornton’s Arcade location when he's not roasting, we’re all about keeping it local, hands-on, and focused. And while you can grab our beans, we also keep our shelves stocked with an ever-changing selection of beans from brilliant roasters across the UK and Europe.

 

We love welcoming coffee enthusiasts (and newbies!) to our regular cupping sessions whenever fresh batches arrive. So whether you’re a long-time coffee lover or just curious about what’s out there, you’re invited to come sip, learn, and explore with us. (Follow us on insta for deets of when these are on.

Kapow Coffee is all about growing, sharing, and making coffee an experience, not just a drink.
