Seriously good coffee

Thoughtfully sourced and carefully made coffee, alongside house baked goods and a fresh, satisfying food menu.

Stage Espresso

Since 2017 Stage has been serving the best coffees we can find. We have a regularly changing menu of single origin coffees from a range of fantastic producers and coffee roasters, available as espresso or filter.

Our breakfast and lunch menu is fresh, seasonal and cooked to order. We also offer pastries made every morning, alongside a variety of cakes, cookies and brownies, all made in-house, with a number of vegan and gluten-free options available.

Coffee and Code

Tuesday, 3 November 2026
07:30 – 09:00

Join us for Coffee and Code on Tuesday mornings, now with a new time, a (slightly) new name, in a new place, with a new team!

We're meeting at Stage, on Great George Street, at the earlier time of 07:30. An extra half hour of time to wake up and get your caffeine!

Coffee & Code is an informal get-together in Leeds city centre, typically weekly. Join us for a natter about tech, get working on your latest project, or just sip a coffee and listen to others. Everyone is welcome, whether learning to code for the first time or doing it for a living.

We congregate downstairs at Stage where there is excellent WiFi and lovely quiet environment to start off the day.

An Overly Oaty Occasion

Like oat milk? Hate oat milk?

There's absolutely loads out there are all of it tastes a bit different. We want to establish (through the power of getting a load of people to try a load of oat milk), which oat milks are best, and for what.

Tasting will be done blind, there will be a range of oat, and maybe a wildcard or two.

Our Corner

Our historic building from the 1860s is nestled on the corner of Great George Street and Oxford Row, with a view of the striking Grade I listed hospital buildings of Leeds General Infirmary.

Inside, the building retains plenty of its original charm, with tall arched windows, decorative details and a sense of history that gives Stage a unique atmosphere.

Take a break from the monotony of your day, grab a game, and enjoy some relaxed fun with friends or by yourself. Our board game selection covers classics and newer options, so there's something for everyone. Some of our larger tabletop games like Carrooka or Crokinole may not be available during busier times.
