Literally the best breakfast I’ve had in forever. The food was incredible, and the coffee also. Will absolutely be visiting again next time we’re in Chester.

This is a very relaxed and casual little cafe but don't let that fool you. The food here is the best I've eaten in the few days I've been staying in Chester, clearly using excellent ingredients to make a simple toast-based breakfast. It's nice to find a cafe which offers filter coffee, especially when they serve a well-sourced single origin bean, as it allows for a simpler brew to really taste its true flavour. The great food and coffee, served by the friendly and attentive staff, make this the perfect little cafe.

Small but perfectly formed menu at this lovely little cafe! The cheese toasty was exactly what we were hoping for, cooked to perfection using g sourdough bread and no holding back on the cheese!, a nice selection of hot and cold drinks, the passion fruit lemonade was divine and went great with the cheese toasty!...Will definitely be back next time we’re in Chester

Staff are friendly and helpful with a love of good coffee and food! I had the Guest filter and it was easily one of the best cups of coffee I've had in the city. They have a good range of food and drink so there's lots to choose from, and everything tastes great. Relaxed environment and good music, but not so loud so that we can't hear each other talk (I'm neurodiverse so quite easily overwhelmed by music). 11/10 my favourite place for coffee.

Small food selection, done well. Calm but friendly atmosphere, lots of people in and out. Great coffee. And I discovered a new cake, the Tan Slice. Yum.
