Our Story

THE OUTSET

Northern Cobbler, established in 2010 by two friends and work colleagues, was initially conceived as a high-quality, contemporary footwear label. Feroza and Steffan embarked on a global journey, visiting manufacturers across Europe, India, and the Americas. During this period, they developed a keen interest in the vast and vibrant world of specialty coffee, which initially served as a hobby but soon became an obsession.

INAUGURAL STORE

In 2015, our inaugural store was established in the fashionable Clarendon Park area of Leicester, becoming a pivotal hub within the city’s landscape. Over time, we became dissatisfied with the consistency of our coffee sourcing and made the decision to embark on a new journey: coffee roasting.

ROLLESTON ROASTERY

In pursuit of the ideal rural location, we discovered a charming former stable block nestled in the heart of the rolling Leicestershire countryside. Designed to immerse customers in our world, this now houses our roastery operation, eatery, and specialty coffee shop. We firmly believe that coffee should be savoured in the company of others, and our glass partition allows customers to witness the roasting process while enjoying their preferred cup of coffee.

OUR COMMITMENT

The coffee landscape is constantly evolving, but we remain committed to learning, adapting, and enhancing the experiences of our store customers, e-commerce partners, and wholesale clients. We will continue to enjoy connecting with our coffee community firsthand and eagerly anticipate the exciting experiences that lie ahead!
