The research conducted by the coffee retailer looked at the highest rated coffee shops across the UK with more than 100 reviews based on TripAdvisor reviews - taking Excellent, Terrible and overall ratings into account.

Aurimas Vainauskas, CEO of Coffee Friend, said: “The UK is now a nation of coffee lovers and with the country returning to more normal times, we’re helping the people of Britain find the best cafes in the best places.

“Our research has looked at the highest rated cafes across the country and found some of the better known, and lesser known, joints to grab a favourite drink and a bite to eat.”

Andy Walker, who owns Espresso Yourself, described the news as 'absolutely fabulous'.

Before opening the coffee shop Andy worked at Costa and rather than going on pub crawls would go on 'coffee crawls' to York and Leeds.

He wanted to create a place of his own where coffee was the main event.

He said of being back open after lockdown: "It was a bit timid to start with but now it's absolutely going nuts in the best possible way."

Espresso Yourself serves Seasons Coffee, a company based in West Yorkshire.
