An independent coffee shop in Meanwood is closing its doors due to rising rent prices.
Nestled in the heart of Meanwood, Humbl Coffee is a go-to for those visiting the suburb or embarking on the Meanwood Valley Trail.
A beacon of bright blue, owner Matt always welcomed you with a huge smile and served up the glossiest coffee alongside brilliant bakes.
But unfortunately, Humbl will be closing its doors at the start of December.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Matt said: “It is with a heavy heart that I share the difficult decision to close our beloved home on Monk Bridge Road. We will remain open throughout November and will close on Saturday, 6th December.
“In true Humbl style, we are giving you plenty of notice so we can say goodbye properly. Throughout November, we will be hosting our Farewell In-Store Tour. Drop in, grab a brew, celebrate with us, and reflect on all this space has meant to us and to you.

“Despite working tirelessly seven days a week, rising rent and lease challenges have made it impossible to continue. Independent businesses in Leeds face tough times, and to every indie still keeping their doors open, we see you, we admire you, and your dedication to keeping this city’s soul alive is worth the graft”
He finished the post: “From our trailer days to this shop, Humbl has always adapted, and we cannot wait to keep bringing you locally roasted coffee, wherever you are. With love and gratitude, Matt.”
You can still support Matt by dropping in before Humbl closes, or by ordering some of their fantastic coffee online here.
