Mobile Jazz Cafe launching at Trinity Leeds selling coffee and cake from tuk-tuk

The café will launch inside the BLK BOX retail concept, a pioneering shopping experience based around revolving retail, art and avant garde independent brands.

Shoppers can enjoy coffee and sweet treats from the tuk-tuk when they visit the ground floor space at Trinity Leeds from January 9.

Owner Greg Gallaghar, who launched his café at Leeds Food & Drink Festival in July 2019, said he is excited to grow his business at BLK BOX.

The 25-year-old studied jazz at Leeds College of Music, before deciding to combine his love of music and coffee to set up his own mobile café.

Greg said: "I'm still making all my own tray bakes and have even built the bar myself.

"I’ve saved hard to invest in the best equipment - even though I’m selling out of a tuk-tuk, I want the quality of my coffee to match coffee shops around Leeds.

"Eventually, I want to run my own jazz bar and for people to walk past and think - oh look, that’s the place that used to be a mobile jazz café!”

Greg will host a launch party at BLK BOX from 6pm until 9pm on Friday, January 10.
