Since 2019

A roastery that happens to have a counter

Bean Scene started as a 5kg drum roaster in a railway arch and a market stall at the weekend. The shop came second. That order still shows: we buy small, roast weekly, and sell out rather than sit on stock.

Roasted 400 metres away

The drum runs Thursday mornings in the unit behind the shop. You can smell it from the door.

Open seven days from 7am

First shot at seven on weekdays, eight on Saturday, nine on Sunday. Last order half an hour before close.

Four ways to brew

V60, Chemex, AeroPress and batch, all on the bar. Tell us what you like and we will pick.

Beyond the counter

Put us to work

The back room, a cart at your event, or a standing order of beans on your own shelf.

Friends talking over coffee in the back room

The back room

Sits twenty, with a screen and a door that shuts. Free to book on weekday evenings when you are drinking with us.

Takeaway coffees set out at an event

Coffee carts

We bring the bar, the beans and two baristas anywhere in West Yorkshire. Weddings, launches, site openings.

Wholesale beans

Cafes, offices and shops across Leeds, roasted Thursday and delivered Friday. Bags, grind and dial in included, no contract to sign.
