Black Sheep Coffee: New Leeds shop from boutique coffee chain set to open in city centre this week

A new café in Leeds from up-and-coming boutique coffee chain Black Sheep is set to open within the next week.

The new store on Briggate in the city centre is set to open next Tuesday (October 8), according to Google.

The coffee shop will be the second in Leeds from Black Sheep Coffee following the opening of their shop on Bond Street earlier this year.

The company was set up in London in 2013 by former student flatmates Eirik Holth and Gabriel Shohet and currently has more than 40 locations around the world.

As well as chains in the likes of Manchester, Edinburgh and Liverpool, the company has also set up shop in Paris and the Philippines.

Black Sheep seeks to differentiate itself from competitors with a coffee selection featuring traditionally unfavoured Robusta specialty coffee, while also offering a more conventional menu of single origin Arabicas. It also places an emphasis on eco-friendly values.
