Kapow Coffee

I found out about this cute and quirky coffee shop from social media. The hot chocolate was a different taste to any other that I have experienced, it was so nice. Loved all of the different decor in the shop too.

I love the relaxed atmosphere of this coffee shop, just what I needed. Very good matcha from chaology I believe, which are a very trustworthy company. The matcha is smooth and has only a slight bitterness which is good. Pan au chocolat was also very nice. The servers are very welcoming and the place has a very homely vibe. Would definitely visit again if I’m in Leeds😊😊.

Happy Friday, Leeds! 🎉☕️ Kicking off the weekend with a flat white @kapowcoffee 💛
Not only is the coffee top tier – the environment is a relaxing place for friends and couples. And yes… they’ve got Pokémon🧸 – we spotted Snorlax, Bulbasaur, and even found our dream Millennium Falcon from Star Wars 🚀✨these make this place feel like home. By fishenjoylife

This is the best coffee shop in Leeds. If you are in town and craving a coffee to a very high standard, this is where you should go. I am a resident, coffee nerd, and have tried most of them in the city and surroundings. This is the best and most consistent. Now bear in mind that they have a no laptops policy, so it’s not possible to sit and work in here - I think because having people camping at tables reduces space for people coming and going. It’s very small with limited seating (but more upstairs) - it’s designed to go with a few people or a friend and sit and talk, or for you to get takeaway. Anyway. Best coffee. Thanks for being awesome at what you do and caring about making each cup banging.

I was trying to find a good cup of filtered coffee in Leeds…Not an easy task. The nearby Starbucks doesn’t even brew filtered coffee because they “don’t sell enough.” I’m happy I found Kapow. The filtered coffee was perfect strength and the service was excellent.

lovely lil coffeeshop tucked in thornton’s arcade. flat white was smooth enough. tried a sweet snacks which name i forgot. there was a small q when i was there but seats available. they’ve got a toilet upstairs. more seating upstairs as well. staffs were nice and welcoming. bought v60 paper filter here. they’ve got interesting selection of beans. there was a sign on the front door that this coffee shop is no-laptop zone, unlike the other kapow on the call lane near the river. however i like the experience better in this outlet. would def revisit this one next time

Must be the best coffee in Leeds! Four different pour-over options and a good cake and croissant selection. Well worth heading upstairs as more seating with lovely light coming through from the arcade window. Lots of different speciality coffee for sale to take away as well.

Stopped in Kapow for 2 cappuccinos, lovely coffee, friendly service and lots of interesting quirks around the shop. We also enjoyed a game of jenga with our drinks. The pastries looked amazing would get one if ever in Leeds again. 😆

We needed a coffee fix while cruising around Leeds. Down a hip arcade lies Kapow Coffee. Little, welcoming, unassuming, local...we knew we would love it from the minute we stepped inside. Ordered a couple cappuccinos which were well-made (though we prefer our coffee dranks scalding hot...these were drinkable temp from the get-go.) There are multiple floors to the space, so we landed a floor up and there was only one other gent working away on a laptop. We realized we were in desperate need of a phone charger and the super kind employee manning the counter was kind enough to lend us one while we enjoyed our cuppas. All in all, we loved the accepting, friendly vibe and coffee! Next time we are in Leeds, we definitely will be back!
