6 Degrees Coffee House in Leicester

Excellent selection of vegan cakes that are so tasty! Various plant-based milk alternatives are available at no additional cost. Great coffee, cake, staff, and ambience…and it helps support Open Hands, a local charity. Recommend stopping off for a coffee here and you won’t be disappointed.

First time using always pass by on bus lovely place for coffee and cake friendly staff lovely calm chilled cafe 😊

We ordered lunch from 6 degrees for 20 people, having visited for lunch a few times. The ordering, delivery, and quality of the food was perfect - nothing was amiss, everybody was catered for and the vegan options were the best sandwiches we've had. We will always order from 6 degrees when location allows.

Absolutely fabulous cafe on London Road, which is easily accessible. Brilliant calm vibe, making it warm and cosy to come to. There are plenty of vegan, gluten free, egg free and vegetarian options available making it accessible to those on a variety of diets. Amazing hot chocolate, which felt home made unlike from the coffee chains, with customer service to match. Will certainly return again.

Really friendly staff and really good cake and coffee - what more can you ask for. The price is average.

Popped in for a coffee on a walk, and it was a friendly and welcoming environment, where you can sit for a while and relax, as that is the atmosphere generated. Whilst I only had a black coffee, the food looked appetising, and worth popping in to.

Gentleman serving us very very happy to accomodate our idiosyncratic needs with regards to specialised diets. Nice and rustic inside Compared to modern fast food places. Thank you so much.

Very nice little cafe near the train station, very accomodating to gluten free requurements with food prepared seperately if needed. Had the bacon sandwich on gluten free bread which was delicious! Friendly service. Fair prices. Would go again.

love the new look, however that won’t change the attitude of your staff!! staff are so rude. blond woman on bar has a problem both with her attitude and her breath! personal hygiene could be taught to your staff especially when serving customers. place is a mess.

My post lockdown visit. Lovely coffee and tasty chocolate, peanut butter flapjack type cake. Happy , friendly staff. Hopefully I can visit again with friends and sit inside. Highly recommend, close to Victoria Park if you in the area.

Afternoon tea was outstanding, great value for money especially as at the time it was the eat out to help out scheme.

Just returned from enjoying an afternoon tea. This is a great coffee shop that is really Covid secure. The sandwiches included different fillings to what you might expect and all were delicious. Homemade scones with clotted cream and cakes followed, which were all beautifully made. There was also a choice of drinks which complemented the meal nicely. Lovely, friendly staff who look after you very well. It may have been my first visit, but definitely won't be my last.

Welcoming staff (who are made up mainly of volunteers!) great coffee & delicious cake. Couldn’t recommend more highly!

Great vibe-chilled and relaxed.. good place to meet up! Good coffee, great soup and delicious cakes!!! Really nice .. very friendly too!

Excellent stop off for a hot beverage or a bite to eat. Welcoming staff and lovely atmosphere. Good selection of loose leaf teas and delicious food.

One of the first weeks I arrived in Leicester, I discovered this Coffee House and it quicky turned into my favourite. The people working here are always really kind and helpful, and the food is delicious. This place has a lot of seatings, suitable for working, reading a book or playing a game with friends. What makes it even better, is that all profits go to charity. This is definitely one of my favourite places in Leicester!

Have visited multiple times for great latte, espresso and hearty + yummi breakfasts. Good Wi-Fi, natural light on the ground floor and excellently prepared eggs & whatnot. Nice vibe - they are doing good too - training refugees & employing able and personable locals too. A joy to behold.

Myself and a friend visited here on impulse as nowhere else had ideal food/drink options given the fact my friend is vegetarian, so we decided to pop in mostly for a drink but to eat as well if anything caught our fancy. Upon entering, the coffee house was amazing to look at and not too busy, but still had a wonderful vibe about it. Was welcomed in and we sat by the window and ordered our drinks and food (myself, a cookies and cream frappe with tuna melt and my friend, a mocha with the quiche). Drinks were wonderful and you could see them being made, food was perfect too and the wait was pretty great considering there were only two people on bar (who were super nice and lovely to talk to). We stayed for a decent amount of time and before we had even left, we had decided we would come back the next day for breakfast. We were remembered in the morning which felt really nice and personal, and we sat again and enjoyed our food and drink while deciding what we were going to do for the day! I even bought another drink to take away and it was absolutely delicious. (Try the mango smoothie!)An amazing little coffee house, hidden out of the way from the town centre but 100% absolutely worth the little detour or short walk if you want a wonderful and memorable experience with great food options, good pricing, and friendly staff who really make you feel welcome. Absolutely would recommend and as I live fairly close by I will be dragging whoever I can to Leicester if only to try the coffee here! Thank you so much for a wonderful two visits (so far)!

Popped in here, half an hour before they were due to close. Quick pit stop before we went to De Mont. Could not have been nicer. Didn't rush us and lovely food and coffee. Thank you

The staff are friendly and you can feel the passion for their job and the communities they support. The coffees are delicious and you have to try the cakes because they are wow, the rose and poppy seed is my favourite so far.I’ve enjoying coming to here this past year and even though I no longer like in Leicester, I still make a point of going to 6 Degrees when I visit the area.

It was ok but nothing special. The girls are very friendly and give nice service. The roadworks outside the door do not help with the noise. It was very warm inside but due to works they could not have the door open. I may try again later in the year.

What a gem! I had seen this place on Instagram and wanted to check it out. Couldn't have been better. Lovely coffees (tried several!), nice cakes, very friendly and helpful staff and a total must go for everyone visiting Leicester. Their profits go to charity and the volunteers do an amazing job here too. Highly recommended and I can't wait to visit again.

Very nice, and cosy cafe. Staff are so lovely and their sandwiches are so delicious for a reasonable price.

Stopped here for breakfast, one morning on my way to the Leicester Archives. Had the porridge with coffee.It was perfect, coffee just the way I like it and the porridge with fruit and honey was amazing. It was sooo good I went back the next morning for a repeat.

Staff super friendly, I dealt with Hazel via Facebook to book afternoon for myself and partner. They were hot in the allergy front. Served locally roasted coffee, which he enjoyed very much! I'm more of a tea drinker, of which their selection was great.The location is ideal, opposite a beautiful church, around the corner from Nelson Mandela park and Victoria park (with parking)Our afternoon tea was Lush, so many nice fresh sandwiches, the scones were to die for !!!!!!Lots of locals obviously visit regularly as I noticed a few people strolling in and the Staff knowing their order before even getting a chance to find a seat.Highly reccomend going there. If I'm ever in the area again I'll 100% stop in !

We visited here for lunch and had a great experience. The toasted sandwiches and smoothies were great and they also serve up tasty coffee! Staff were all super friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend.

Working at or visiting the University of Leicester? Don't want to run into your colleagues at a campus outlet? 6 Degrees Coffee House is THE place you want to go to! Delicious cakes, excellent coffee, a cosy interior and just far away enough from and close enough to campus to escape from the busy University!

Despite the caffee house is small, it's cosy and the staff really nice! Had a lovely breakfast (oats, croassaint and orange juice) for 6£.

Atmosphere 5 Service 5 Food 5 Drinks 4.5 Would definitely recommend this place and can’t wait to go back too.

Don't give your money to tax dodging multis - this cafe uses the profits to help people and is run by delightful young volunteers who give up their free time - give them a big hug!

With our fried early morning we have close friend coffee catch up nice touch with friend place is nice nice coffee;;:;;

The festive drinks are great.Bacon sandwich is good but there Os nothing But bacon in it. It is better with beans in there.Dont try beans on toast. So many beans. A little disappointed actually.. The environment is quite cozy and the place is easy to find, down the University Road.

The food is really nice, i always go back for the cakes. the people that work there are friendly and polite .

A truly excellent venue.The coffee is great, the atmosphere excellent and the staff exceptional.What makes it even better is that it all goes to a great cause!It's not some greedy corporation which gets my money, it's people who actually need it - which means I don't have to feel so guilty about spending so much money there My favourite place to sit and read a book with a coffee.

Really unusual to get leaf tea when ordering English breakfast but here you get it served beautifully. Extremely friendly service. Had the oat slice with chocolate on top - delicious.

Coffee is good however the selection of cakes is limited and weird. They had some nasty sounding combinations of cakes lemon and coriander with kale cake or something to the effect. The staff although helpful look like they are doing community service. I think that a three star rating is appropriate and honest.

The place is clean, friendly, moderately busy but not crowded. We sat on the large table for a meeting downstairs. The music is lovely and not loud or too quiet. I'd just say, you keep dropping spoons on the table while brining tea cups over. Besides that everything is perfect.

I hired the basement area and from the inital enquiry to the actual day I received great service. The staff are always friendly and there was quick responses to my emails. I had the basement set up for an afternoon tea. The food was brilliant and the price very reasonable. The children had their own table which had children's books on, cheese and jam sandwiches, pom bears and fairy cakes. As it was a very hot day, we were allowed to change our bottomless tea to some cold drinks which was helpful. I loved the scones and the bacon and brie sandwiches were my personal favourite.

I needed a place very near Railway Station for a couple of hours quiet Lunch. This turned out ideal : a pleasant contrast to soulless Coffee Bar chains.Helpful staff. Wonderful toasted sandwiches. interesting that local firms were using neighbouring table for job interviews! Will certainly return.

Sweet potato jacket with spiced chickpea and med veg topping was inspired! Bet tasty and will be replicating at home. Coffee was great. Staff lovely and atmosphere cosy. Nice quiet place amongst the business of London road.

I’m so lucky to have this wonderful cafe so close to where I work. A good selection of toasted sandwiches, salads, soup and breakfast items is served, as well as some delicious cakes - some of the best flapjacks ever! The coffee is great, from St Martin’s roastery, but perhaps what shines out the most is the friendly service provided by the staff and volunteers, and the fact that the profits go towards a very worthy cause. Highly recommended!

This is a great little cafe with friendly staff who deliver food to the tables; free wifi; lots of plugs if you have laptops to charge while working. The coffee is very good, music is chilled out and it has ground floor and basement seating. Will definitely be coming again.

A very welcoming little coffee shop nearer to the Victoria park end of London road. Great place to meet, get some work or studying done or simply enjoy a coffee and cake!

This is close to where I work, and I often head there to drink coffee, eat salad, and relax with friends - or just get time out from a busy day. It's a charity, so you know that you're helping others by eating there, and the food is fantastic. There's also brilliant, warm service.This is the ideal place for breakfast, Bruch, lunch and just for chilling out in an unpretentious environment. Strongly recommended.

A coffee house out on its own. So friendly and welcoming and you do not get ripped off with the high prices of most other coffee houses.The food and drinks are first class, the selection is amazing and the atmosphere lovely.Well worth a visit.

Lovely food, lovely staff and a great atmosphere. Best coffee shop in Leicester by far and very reasonably priced.

Lovely visit as always. Came with friends for lunch. Carrot, beetroot and houmous sandwich was incredible. Good choice of vegan options. The staff here are so lovely. Can’t wait to come back.

Stopped here briefly for a coffee and cake. A delightful place with very friendly service. Didn't have a meal but the choice looked enticing.

Recently a friend of mine booked out the basement room for har Birthday. It was a lovely afternoon of tea, coffee, and scones. It’s a good space to catch up with friends and hold a low key special event. The refreshments were good quality and the staff were very friendly.

Friendly service and absolutely lovely decor, the ambience was reflective of the environment. With 2 floors at its disposal, it can get quite busy. We visited during lunchtime, we were informed by their volunteer that it is also a charity that helps support locally disadvantaged people with food, so the menu price was expected to be a bit pricey. The food was nice, I would certainly be visiting again to try out other items off their menu. Definitely recommend a visit.

I love 6 Degrees Coffee House. The warm and friendly atmosphere make it a really different experience to your typical cafe and the food is delicious. What a great idea to be raising money for local people in need too! I will definitely be coming back and bringing my friends. Thank you!

I've been to this coffee shop a few times now and have been amazed at the quality of food here. It is clearly made with so much love. I go to most places & get disappointed because the food is so bland. However I have never been let down by the staff at six degrees. They always give me a warm welcome. The service and food is fantastic! I love the way the place has been decorated too. It's so fun and quirky! It's unlike any other place I've been to before. Keep up the good work everyone! :)

How lovely is this place! We had breakfast. It is really cosy. We had a window seat and we sat there for hours, which did not bother the staff. We enjoyed and we would definitely go back here.

Brilliant coffee shop, brilliant staff, brilliant coffee and food. Open Hands is a Leicester compassion charity reaching hundreds of vulnerable people with love, care and practical help. All the profits from Six Degrees are helping make a difference in people’s lives. Six Degrees is my first choice coffee shop every time.

In my opinion, 6 Degrees is the best coffee shop in Leicester. The staff are friendly, the food is excellent (the Chicken & Pesto toasted sandwich on Granary is my favourite in the world!), coffee is excellent, there is a huge range of speciality loose leaf tea and to top it all off, all of the profits go to the Open Hands Trust. They run primarily on volunteers but that doesn't compromise the excellence of the products and the service.It has become my regular coffee shop, conveniently just around the corner from work!

Very poor service. Ordered a to go black coffee and it took 15 minutes. No one else in the queue when I arrived, 2 staff behind the counter, at least 1 more in the back. Shop wasn’t busy and one of the servers still had plenty of time to stand beside the coffee machine (!) and answer a couple of texts. No sense of urgency, no customer service skills, no ability to prioritise, no apology. The manager/owner needs to ensure staff are adequately trained.

Great coffee, lovely staff, tasty cakes & deserts. Lovely atmosphere to chill out with a cup of coffee and have a catch up. Regular visitor!

Perfect visit!! I visited today with my family, and we had a fantastic time. Lovely food. Staff were very accommodating for dietary requirements. I had a soy chai latte, which I get every time because it is so delicious. I also had a lovely falafel, guacamole and red slaw toasted sandwich - it was the most delicious lunch! Vegan apricot flapjack was also incredible!! Can’t wait to go back!!

Excellent coffee. Wonderful welcome. Full of character. Basement offers great venue for informal functions. Highly recommended.

Been here a few times of late after walking by on numerous occasions and now wish I had been in before!Not only a relaxed space to work but the music the staff and the ambience are superb.Plenty of seats in the basement as well should anyone think it's full, like me when walking by.The sandwiches are some of the best in town especially the Falafel and Guacamole the coffee good and the cakes amazing. Support these guys as they really have a great business here.

Very nice 👍 had a superb Brie and Bacon toasted sandwich and cappuccino which hit the spot just before rushing off to a show at DeMontford Hall. Also the decor was very aesthetically pleasing. I highly recommend! Perfect spot for students.

For me at the moment. The Rooibos tea is my favourite and any cook because they are all delicious. Fresh sandwiches and salads.

I just walked by and decided to have a snack and coffee. Was very nicely surprised by friendly staff and delicious freshly made sandwiches. I had bacon, brie and caramelised onion chutney toasted sandwich. It came with a handful freshly cut salad. In addition the place is really cosy and nice music creates lovely atmosphere.

The cafe has really nice shakes and sandwiches to offer,I am not a hot drink fan so not sure about the coffees thay have,But I really appreciate the staff working there really polite and helpful.The cafe has downstairs seating arrangements if you dont want to sit upstairs as its busy always.

The cafe feels warm and cosy and the staff are very friendly. We had tomato & mascarpone soup, which was sooooo good, and the bacon & brie sandwich was delicious. Finished this off with a rocky road and tiffin cake (perfect) and a great cappuccino. I will definitely come back!

Me and my kids were just walking past looking for somewhere to have lunch and spotted this place. Went in, expecting a mediocre sandwich and a slice of cake, boy were we supprised! Great food coming from volunteer staff, friendly service and best of all, IT'S A CHARITY!!! Thank you 6 Degrees

The food is always fresh and yummy. Vegan and GF Chocolate cake is the BOMB.COM. It it always just a lovely place to be - with such friendly staff. And finally the ethos is on which it is founded upon makes the city a better place and changes lives.

On the busy A6 after going slightly wrong walking from Railway Station to the city centre was glad to see this lovely cafe. Various seating arrangements which was good to see and served good coffee and a selection of loose teas, plus of course lovely cakes! Friendly service, left refreshed to find the hidden New Walk into the city ( which is not that new being there for about 200 years!) amazing!

Enjoyed a quiet visit to this great cafe on London Rd, not far from the station. Has a great ethos and friendly staff... Good looking cakes, although didn't sample today, and lots of other tempting treats at really reasonable prices . Great wifi and a very comfy chair at the back!

Such a lovely atmosphere here and really warm staff, have enjoyed any time I have visited. Serve my favourite hot chocolate in Leicester ☺

A really well designed a excellent value coffee house. Drinks are excellent, food menu is expanding all the time, Free Wi-fi, staff are very friendly, The best thing about this coffee house is that it funds a local charity helping vulnerable people in the local community. If you haven't been here yet, you should check it out!

This is a very relaxed, peaceful coffee house. Amazing coffee and cakes and really nice sandwiches. I've visited many times. With free wifi, plenty of electricity points for my laptop too, its my go to place! Best of all, all the profits go to Openhands charity so helps the people of Leicester back!

This is a very pretty pretty cafe with a lovely atmosphere, very friendly staff and good food. I had a delicious bacon sandwich here that was one of the best ones I can remember having.

Lovely coffee house with nice fresh food Good friendly service Outside seating for when the weather is nice

What a great coffee shop Welcoming, relaxed, great coffee and a brilliant atmosphere. Why not visit next time you are in town.

The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, the staff are so lovely and helpful, the food and drink options are great.... and there's wifi and plugs for laptops, the perfect place to spend a day writing an essay!

Great coffee shop with delicious coffee and sweet treats. The tiffin is great and the staff are always friendly.

Been a few times now and not a single thing to compain about. Great choice of drinks and snacks. And nice and helpful staff. Worth a visit if your nearby and thirsty..

Took my wife for lunch and decided to go to 6 Degrees on London Road. Lovely helpful and polite staff. My wife had a vanilla chai latte with brie sandwich. I had one of a number of cold drinks they have and a chorizo and mature cheddar chesse sandwich. They also have a loyalty card for their hot drinks.Lovely place and lovely food. I highly recommend this coffee shop.

This coffee house provides the classic menu of a British place of this kind. Yet you can see there is care in preparing the sandwiches and the environment is really pleasant as for the furniture and the atmosphere. Very good option for a cheap work lunch!

Having walked out of a pub down the road for lack of service, I spotted this place and wished I'd chime here at the start. It is friend, light and airy. The coffee was good, the sandwich decent and a good price. If I'm back in the area again I would revisit

I discovered this place today and it made me so happy! It's unique and absolutely delightful. The tables and chairs are all different shapes, sizes and colours. My sandwich was freshly prepared and served with salad. The tea was special too!

Went to 6 degrees yesterday for a coffee with a friend and we had such a good time we ended up staying for lunch too. The sandwiches are delicious, the staff is super friendly and the coffee was great. I go to a lot of coffee shops, but I loved the atmosphere in this one and the rustic look. If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out.

Brilliant coffee shop, have never had a bad experience here. Always good service and staff very friendly and make you feel at home. Food and drink reasonably priced and it feels nicer knowing the profits go to charity.

Great coffee, great tea, fantastic cakes, all served by friendly staff in a lovely cafe. What more could you want? I haven't tried their lunches yet, but will do, with every confidence that I will enjoy. Profits for a good cause too!

Very friendly little cafe with great atmosphere. A lovely place for an unhurried coffee and cake. The charity link is an added bonus.

Great atmosphere, rustic furnishings, friendly staff and lovely coffee. The cake is also delightful. Perfect combination. Only downer is lack of nearby parking but that's not unique to 6 Degrees.

Visit here often as it is close to the University, and the staff are very friendly and welcoming and the coffee is lovely. The fact that they help the community, tops it all off, and it is a nice and relaxing environment to meet with friends or even do a spot of studying.

Regularly visit here with work colleagues. Lovely place, good food and hugely welcoming. Prices are really reasonably. Fab place (seems to be the general feeling!)

A chance find as I walked this area for the first time for years. Hoped to find a coffee shop and happily 6 Degrees appeared at the right time. I saw they had a proper coffee machine and hoped for a good cappuccino and was not disappointed. It was an excellent cappuccino. Intrigued to read that it is owned by a charity doing good work in the local area and will now look for ways to support it. If only by making a point of visiting for more coffee. It's right opposite University Road on London Road and well worth a visit.

Staff are always friendly and you can have great coffee whilst supporting a wonderful cause. What's not to love?

6 Degrees of Coffee has great coffee and is also a social enterprise, helping people in Leicester. When you eat or drink here, you will know that the delicious food or drink you are having is going to help people in the local area. Also it is a very good price which took me by surprise considering the size of the coffee and how nice it was.For both of these reasons, I would recommend visiting here.

Popped in here for a coffee and a slice of cake. At first I thought that perhaps I was related to the lady who served us... such was the genuine welcome and smile... obviously I wasn't, but the excellent customer service fooled me for a few seconds. This is a small, cosy independent coffee shop which serves very fresh and tasty coffee. They obviously take their coffee seriously. The lemon drizzle cake was moist and light and tasted great. To top it off, I found out that this business is also a charity and exists for the benefit of the Open Hands charity which helps disadvantaged people and families in the community. So go here, enjoy the coffee, the cake, the service in the knowledge that you are doing something positive.

It's been open for just half a year and 6 degrees continues to get better and better. With all profits funding a local compassion charity, "Open Hands", 6 degrees has the best coffee and sandwiches in Leicester.

Lunch - fresh made BLT and smoothie. Great coffee. Classy, independent venue. Proceeds to charity! Beats the usual high-street offerings.

Brilliant coffee in a nice friendly environment, staff are very warm, best Mocha i've had in Leicester!!

Have visited 6degrees coffee house many times. They serve the best sandwiches and coffee I have tasted. Brilliant staff, a fantastic cause and real excellence. Try it out for yourself

What lovely sandwiches- fresh and lovely flavour. Coffee is definitely the best I've tasted in Leicester, with real chocolate in the cappuccinos. And the lemon drizzle cake and flapjack are delicious. ..And all for a great cause- supporting Open Hands, a local compassion charity which has just been awarded the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service ( the MBE for charities). It's a win-win. Relaxed atmosphere, free wifi, lovely staff, great decor...what's not to love???!

We popped in here for Lunch and coffee. The staff were so friendly and the overall atmosphere was really great. We loved the decor and the sandwiches were just delicious. Prices are really good too. Will be back :)

My husband and I enjoyed a lunch break here last week. We loved the toasties and ultra hot chocolate. We enjoyed chatting with the staff too - they are very friendly! Looking forward to visiting again soon.
