STARBUCKS

Starbucks Leeds is your go-to for a caffeine hit with a side of 'meh, it exists.' Boeing Driver sips on their Pumpkin Spice Caramel Macchiato, likening it to 'autumn in a cup,' but let’s be real: it’s still just Starbucks. The Wi-Fi is solid, and the tables are clean, which is good because that’s literally what you expect from a chain café. It’s the ideal place to decompress with a book or catch up on emails while avoiding human interaction.

It’s not winning any awards for creativity or excitement, but you can always count on Mona and Evelyn for a friendly smile and quick service. Just don’t expect any culinary surprises; it’s Starbucks, for crying out loud. If you’re stuck in Leeds and need a coffee, Starbucks is reliable enough, even if it’s as thrilling as a bowl of plain oatmeal.
