Nice coffees and teas. Food was tasty but the rotis in the beef hash weren’t crispy. Flatbread was more tortilla-ish but was delicious. Cakes and cookies were incredible.

Amazing pancakes. Only wished the hot chocolate mug had a handle so that I could lift it to drink.

This is a delight little brunch spot on the corner of clarendon park road. It can be somewhat difficult to find parking but the street permit area is only until 10:30am on weekdays. The food was delicious, quickly served and presented beautifully. Enjoyed and highly recommended.

Nice coffee shop on queens road, stoneygate. A place where one can have breakfast or lunch and purchase shoes . A very unique experience I have my usual espresso here , I must admit it's definitely 1 of the smaller espresso I've had but very tasty nonetheless . A nice place to catch up with friends

I recently visited Northern Cobbler (Queens Road, Leicester) and had an amazing experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and friendly smile from the staff (Lilly & Elliot), making me feel right at home. The atmosphere of the shop is cozy and inviting, with a great vibe for both relaxing or getting some work done. The coffee was exceptional—rich, smooth, and perfectly brewed. I tried the Cortado along with a Bagel and was not disappointed. It’s clear the baristas are passionate about their craft, as the drink along with the food was not only delicious but beautifully presented. Lilly went above and beyond to ensure that my visit was enjoyable. They were attentive, quick, and happy to offer recommendations. It’s refreshing to see a team that genuinely cares about their customers. Plus, the overall cleanliness and attention to detail really stood out. I’ll definitely be coming back to Northern Cobbler @ Queens Road , and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great coffee and a welcoming atmosphere!

One of the best coffee places in Leicester. They might not do syrups, but definitely not needed. The coffee blend is so smooth Definitely try a latte, Dory bagel and the chocolate brownie - you won't be disappointed. The staff are very friendly and chatty and often ask how your day is going.

This was the best coffee I've had in the UK, and I've tried loads. The brownie was so delicious. Fudgy and plenty to share! I'm really so impressed with the taste of everything and will definitely be coming back- nice vibes inside too! Just a note, allocated study area upstairs, which tbh idm, but the no laptop charging is a little weird. Great for a coffee break though

little bit pricey for small-ish portions but the bagel was sooo delicious! I had the salmon bagel and my friend had the dory one and we loved our food so much. Very chilled out vibes and nice and peaceful. Mocha was delicious too! Did expect the large to be a bit bigger but the small was very tiny. I would 100% come here again just to study / have a catch up with a friend.
