Northern Cobbler

Northern Cobbler began in 2010 as a small footwear brand run by friends Feroza and Steffan, who discovered speciality coffee while travelling to source shoes across Europe, India and the Americas. They opened this Clarendon Park shop in 2015, adding a coffee counter to their footwear and homeware range, and now roast their own beans at a former stable block in the Leicestershire countryside near Billesdon rather than buying from other roasters. The Queens Road shop serves espresso and filter coffee from small batches alongside cakes, and still stocks the ethical lifestyle goods, footwear and homewares that started the business. Locals use it as a daytime meeting spot on one of Clarendon Park's main shopping streets, close to the Lanes.
