Kapow Coffee

“Great customer service, delicious coffee, beautiful location.”

Great little independent coffee shop. I'd describe the decor as shabby chic. Coffee amazing. I was advised to try the "batch brew" and was offered a sample by a very friendly barista. The place is tiny really seating not more than 25-30 people comfortably between the downstairs and upstairs. Great little stop in an iconic arcade in Leeds, just off Briggate. £3.50 for a decent mug of delicious coffee. Worth a visit.👍

I liked this place, it’s less sleek or glossy than an average coffee shop, it’s a bit rustic in a sense but I like this vibe. There are also seats upstairs. We ordered latte and matcha, and both were good.

Really cool little café hidden in the arcade. The coffee and pastries are great, my friend and I got a mocha and a hot chocolate and both were sooo good. Honestly, the vibe is the best part. There are Pokémon plushies upstairs and a Gundam at the stair corner, which is just super fun and unique. Also love that they don’t allow laptops, makes it feel more chill and less like a workspace. Would definitely come back!

The first thing I did when I arrived in Leeds was ask ChatGPT for the best coffee shop in town. It suggested Kapow. To be honest, I wasn’t convinced at first ChatGPT can be a bit random sometimes! 😅 But after giving it a try, I have to admit: this is hands down the best café I’ve tried in Leeds. Great coffee, great atmosphere, and somehow every meetup with friends or family ends up happening here. So congratulations, Kapow you’ve achieved the impossible: you made me trust ChatGPT. ☕😂
