About
An independent speciality coffee shop on Stainbeck Lane, trading in Chapel Allerton since 2013 and owner-operated by Lou Henry, who opened the first Opposite — opposite Leeds University — back in 2006. The coffee is roasted in collaboration with Leeds roaster North Star, alongside loose-leaf teas, a brunch menu and homemade cakes, with vegan and gluten-free options.
It is a daytime place — coffee, brunch and cake rather than a full restaurant. Lou Henry opened a second Opposite in Meanwood in April 2024.
