Saints of Mokha is an independent coffee roaster, coffee shop and training centre on Belvoir Street in Leicester. Established in 2016, the family-run business has built a strong reputation among coffee lovers and industry professionals alike, having been named among the UK’s Top 50 Coffee Shops for two consecutive years.
The business takes its name from Ali Ben Omar, the Sufi saint associated with the port city of Mokha in Yemen, a place closely linked with the early history of coffee. That heritage continues to influence Saints of Mokha’s approach, with a focus on sourcing, roasting and serving high-quality coffee from around the world.
The roastery sits at the heart of the operation, supplying coffee to customers, cafés and hospitality businesses across the region. Visitors can enjoy expertly prepared espresso-based drinks, filter coffee and a food menu that includes brunch favourites. There’s also a tempting selection of cakes and pastries, including the popular House Banana Bread, which pairs particularly well with a freshly brewed coffee.
Those looking to develop their skills can take advantage of the on-site barista training school. With its stripped-back interior, knowledgeable team and clear passion for coffee, Saints of Mokha has become a respected name within Leicester’s independent food and drink scene.
