I came here as I had seen some really positive Google reviews and I wanted to try out their drinks and also grab something to eat. When I arrived, there were zero vegetarian savoury brunch options. So decided to try something light instead. I went for the matcha latte and caramel brownie. The latte was given to me luke warm and taste of the latte was bitter, even with sugar in it, I have had matcha tea before, it is not meant to be bitter. The caramel brownie was unpleasantly and extremely sweet, I couldn't finish neither the drink nor the brownie. I sat upstairs as their was no seating available downstairs, which quickly became filled with big groups all crowding around 2 small tables, that I felt uncomfortable so I left. I can't comment on how good their coffee is but everything else was astonishingly disappointing for me.

We had walked a long way along the waterfront area and desperately needed a sit down and a rest. Fortunately we came across this coffee shop in The Calls area of Leeds. We enjoyed two flat whites which cost £5.40 and we sat in some nice seats in the window for a long time relaxing and recovering. It is a good Coffee shop with a good atmosphere the only downside is they don’t take cash.

Really good quality coffee, but think the barrister might have been having a bad day, or he hated his job. We played a game of trying to make him smile and we both lost.

I am a bit disappointed because I used to pass this cafe all the time on my way to work and never went in because it looked closed? I did try my luck on a random Saturday and I really enjoyed it! There is an amazing range of both hot & cold drinks (fresh lemonades anyone?) and there are some delicious brownies if you're craving a snack. I will be back on the regular now!

He is a Disco Crow. That is how good Kapow’s coffee is? Need I say more? I will... I once asked the guy about the toilets, and he said go ahead - they actually belong to the building. So I said, well can I lock myself in a spend the night here? He was like “yeah, I do it all the time, let me get you some more coffee and a good book”. I stayed the whole weekend.

We were put on a little trip to visit the tetley and walked across from the city on route we decided a coffee was indeed needed and we stumbled across Kappow. Really quirky little coffee place in an office building yet separate. Wasnt sure what the coffee would be like but was an excellent cuppa. Really impressed with the flavour a real hidden treasure.

I came after starting a new job nearby. and wanted the full fat latte and a pastry to keep me going through the training. anyway must have been a few visits and me and a collegue were busy talking rubbish about the office goings on (what else do you do at a coffee shop?).But while awaiting a que I heard a freindly voice call over the que and say "The usual latte or is it a mocha double shot day John?" I half minded- replied mocha single shot without realising what had just happened. some how the staff bothered to learn my name and likely order despite me never having a memorable conversation with the staff. I also noted they are supplied by the local roastery north-star who specialise in medium blends this means two things that the coffee beans are coursed responsabily and that Kapow passed the supplier assesment north star require from their clients. (I only know this as recently passed north star Barrista academy) I only hope they instill this out reaching customer service and coffee quality service to all staff as they expand

Compré un pastel junto con mi sándwich y tenía un pedazo de moho. No me sorprende, ya que empujan palos de metal en el interior para mostrar el precio, y tampoco hay etiquetas de fecha, mejor antes o de uso, algo así. Los sándwiches son buenos, pero he notado que los precios suben cada semana.
