Victoria Leeds, owned and operated by Redical, has welcomed independent Leeds-based roasters, North Star Coffee, to Victoria Quarter.

North Star Coffee is recognised for its position as one of the city’s leading independent coffee brands, and its Victoria Leeds opening marks the vendor’s most significant investment in physical hospitality to date. Located adjacent to Jo Malone, the menu consists of a rotating selection of ethically sourced coffees, including espresso-based drinks, filter coffee, teas, matcha, iced drinks, and soft drinks. The kiosk will also offer a range of homemade, freshly prepared sandwiches and baked goods.

Among one of the UK’s first B Corp certified coffee roasters, North Star Coffee adds to the destination’s own line-up of now 15 certified occupiers, reflecting a shared, tangible commitment to putting people and the planet first.

Rachel Bradburn, Head of Leasing at Redical, said: “At Victoria Leeds, we remain dedicated to building a destination that not only leads nationally, but also serves and uplifts Leeds as a city. North Star Coffee contributes to this, whilst demonstrating our commitment to delivering a unique, standout mix. Its arrival brings a sense of authenticity and discovery, adding a distinct point of difference to Victoria Leeds.”

Holly Kragiopoulos, Co-founder of North Star, said: “Leeds has always been at the heart of North Star Coffee, so opening in Victoria Quarter is a huge milestone. This acts as our biggest commitment to physical hospitality so far, so it was important we selected the right location to have the biggest impact. Victoria Leeds undoubtedly delivers on this, and we can rest assured we’re in the best of hands.”

This news follows the recent announcement that The Cut & Craft, the premium British steak restaurant, will be launching a new space at Victoria Quarter, expanding its existing site at the destination. The new space will create an adjoining cocktail bar and lounge area, with a dedicated stage on the ground floor designed to cater to late-evening entertainment.
