Northern Cobbler was founded in 2010 by Feroza and Steffan, two friends who began their careers in the footwear industry before becoming absorbed in specialty coffee during international travel. Their first café opened in 2015 in the Clarendon Park area of Leicester; they later moved roasting to a converted stable block in the Leicestershire countryside, which now houses the roastery, an eatery and a coffee shop.
A glass partition allows café visitors to watch roasting in progress. The roastery holds a Great Taste 2025 award and names its coffees after fish species, which makes for an immediately distinctive range.
They sell online with subscriptions, run wholesale accounts and operate multiple retail locations. The Leicestershire countryside roastery is their main base, though exact location details are not stated on their site.
