The new branch sits next door to a Greggs bakery in a prime spot for shoppers in north Leeds.

This week, Starbucks appeared to be hiring for its new branch, as job adverts appeared online for a supervisor and a barista.

Residents in Meanwood are already spoiled for choice when it comes to great spots to pick up a coffee, with the likes of Tandem, Humbl Coffee and Marcel’s Cafe all within a short distance.

The latest branch comes as part of Starbucks’ expansion across the city, following the opening of another store at The Springs retail park earlier this year.

At the time, the chain said there would be capacity to seat up to 64 people and create 12 jobs. It also revealed there were plans to open “many more stores” in communities across the country.
