If I had to make the choice of which coffee shop was the best in Leicester, it would be a difficult one. It would be like choosing who is the better singer, Ellie Goulding or Lana Del Rey.
The Coffee Counter is the Ellie Goulding of the coffee world: bright, contemporary and full of flavour. It is, as the owner can attest to, a roastery first and foremost. Supplying its beautifully roasted beans to the many artisan coffee shops around Leicester.
The Coffee Counter is a leader in its field. It has been around since the 80s and has shone its leading light for many others to follow. I’m sure it’s why the independent coffee scene is so mature in Leicester.
The coffee scene in Leicester is a humbling experience. It’s arguably brighter than the one in Birmingham.
Hopefully it’s a light that will never go out.
What a hidden gem! Look at the hard work that has gone into this basement! The staff are so welcoming because I walked in looking lost haha! You should put a sign saying 'Seating area down stairs!' (unless i missed that!) I'm fully enjoying the vibe down here at the moment. The food and coffee is quality. Also to mentioned, the cheese and chilli sandwich is a must try!
I drink plenty of coffee here & I can easily say this is the best coffee in Leicester. Staff are friendly & knowledgeable. (Try the single origin options my favourite is the Ethiopian)
