To celebrate and give customers the opportunity to become part of the experiment, everything on the menu is available with 50% off until 7.30pm on Wednesday August 12. Customers simply need to pop in and enjoy the experience while the team perfects every element of the concept.

Inspired by the science of coffee, Caffeine Addict is designed to resemble a secret laboratory where the perfect coffee blend is created, the concept combines speciality coffee, experimental brewing techniques and bold interiors to create an experience that is both memorable and immersive.

A spokesperson said: "From the moment customers arrive, they are welcomed into a world where coffee is treated as a science.

"Laboratory-inspired design features, chemistry-inspired artwork and the brand's playful strapline, "Get your daily fix", celebrate the obsession behind creating the perfect cup."

Alongside classic favourites including Flat Whites, Cappuccinos and Americanos, guests can explore a menu of signature creations including the famous Black Snow Espresso Slush, artisan Cold Drip Coffee, Coffee Flight (a choice of three drinks), Tiramisu Latte and Affogato.

Freshly prepared salad bowls, homemade sandwiches and cakes are available throughout the day, alongside iced coolers, speciality teas and premium loose-leaf teas, making Caffeine Addict a destination for far more than just coffee.

Located on one of Leeds City Centre's busiest hospitality streets, the new coffee shop has been designed as a welcoming space whether customers are grabbing a coffee on their morning commute, meeting friends, taking a break from shopping or settling in to work remotely.

The opening also represents a continued investment in Leeds City Centre, bringing new jobs and another exciting independent hospitality business to one of the city's fastest-growing destinations.

Fernanda, Manager at Caffeine Addict, said: "The response to our Headingley coffee shop has been incredible, so opening our second location in Leeds City Centre is a really exciting milestone for the whole team.

"We're currently in what we are calling 'Lab Mode'. Rather than waiting until everything is perfect, we've opened our doors and invited the people of Leeds to be part of the journey. Every day we're dialling in our coffee, perfecting recipes, training our team and fine-tuning the experience.

"As a thank you for helping us experiment, test and improve, we're giving everyone 50 per cent off everything until 12th August. We want people to come in, try us, tell us what they think and be part of creating something really special.

"Caffeine Addict was created because we're genuinely obsessed with coffee. Every drink is treated like an experiment until it becomes the perfect recipe, and we can't wait to welcome everyone into our laboratory."

As Caffeine Addict continues to grow, the Leeds City Centre opening reinforces the brand's ambition to become one of the city's most distinctive speciality coffee destinations, combining creativity, quality and innovation in every cup.
