The coffee obsessive

leicester's specialty coffee scene has grown quietly but seriously over the past decade, with a handful of independents doing genuinely considered work away from the city centre noise. the coffee obsessive on francis street in stoneygate sits among that group, and by most accounts sits near the top of it. stoneygate itself is one of leicester's more residential stretches, the kind of area where a good local coffee shop actually gets used as one, not just visited. if you're making the trip out to le2, this is the kind of place that rewards it. the regulars here are loyal in the way that only comes from consistent quality over time, not novelty. go on a weekday morning when the neighbourhood is doing its thing, and order whatever's on filter.
