What a perfect stop to warm up and choose from their HUGE array of pastries and cakes. We took Thai curry pastry and sticky toffee cake, wowzers! Definitely worth going back again, and again....

Nice place but No Bacon bap which i think is a must. Nice cake and lovely warm fire. A good place for a rest while walking by the river or to cathedral cave. :)

Arrived too late for hot lunch but they have plenty of cold options. Biryani salad was good and the vegan sausage roll was very well done. The focaccia didn’t taste great cold however, and could have benefitted from being heated up. The food is slightly pricier than your typical cafe but justifiably so; everything is vegetarian and all the meals and bakes are very creative. The attached shop has lots to browse and is definitely worth having a look through. The best part of Chesters is definitely the view; sitting outside near the rush of the river is a must.

Great atmosphere and always a huge selection of fresh food. The food is absolutely delicious especially the fresh salads. Coffee also brilliant. This place is one of the best out there!!

Always great - today I grabbed a salad, frittata, tiramisu bun and a rocky road.

Arrived at just before 3. Got asked a question by another walker whilst I tied my dog to the bench and when I walked in to the cafe at 3 minutes past 3 I was told I couldn't have hot food by a very matter of fact man with no sympathy or customer care whatsoever. Hot food was still being prepared and taken to tables. I felt incredibly sad by the man's attitude and recommend a customer care course to give him the skills to help make this place as wonderful as I had heard it is for everyone. Saying this, I had previously stopped for coffee and cake, and what I ate was fresh and delicious. I encountered the same customer coldness from the same fella then to.

Stopped here for a coffee and cake, both were utterly exceptional. Ended up buying more cake and beer to take home. Menu looked and smelled amazing, completely veggie and vegan, and the staff were great. Beautiful spot to sit and eat at too. Will be returning when next in the area.

Had the most wonderful meal and coffee here after a cold walk! It was so busy but the staff dealt with this all so wonderfully and professional, all whilst being so friendly. I’ll most definitely be returning here and I recommend it for anyone in the area!
