200 Degrees Coffee Shop & Barista School

you're on bond street, which puts you a short walk from leeds city centre's main drag but far enough that the pace feels different. 200 degrees operates here as both a coffee shop and a barista school, which is an unusual combination and one that shapes what the place is actually like. the teaching side means the coffee is taken seriously in a technical, deliberate way, not just as an aesthetic. you get the sense that the people behind the counter understand extraction and milk temperature as a matter of training, not habit. leeds has a solid independent coffee scene and 200 degrees sits comfortably within it, well regarded without being precious about it. come for a flat white on a weekday morning before bond street gets busy.
