Upmarket coffee shop and eating place on the main Chester High Street. We went for coffee and cake on a Sunday morning though we say plenty of customers enjoying brunch of the smashed avocado variety. There is seating inside but there are also a few tables outside on the front but they are bit squashed and you may need to ask to get in and out. The coffee and cake was very nice. It's a great place to sit outside in the summer and watch the world go by.

A bit of a mixed bag I?m afraid. First the positives: attractive and cosy interior. Outside seating also available. One good aspect was that I was advised to find a seat and they would bring my coffee to me - much better as it gave me time to get settled before my coffee arrived. Staff are very friendly too.
The negatives: my Americano coffee cost £3.60, which I felt was steep. Secondly, the serving size was small, given the cost. Lastly, there was a bit of a wait for the coffee to arrive, at which point the coffee was merely tepid rather than hot as I would have hoped for.
Overall, only 2 stars for me.

Recommended this place by a work colleague who lives in Chester.
Stopped in for breakfast after an early flight down to Manchester, and it was lovely.
Ordered the french toast and a long black coffee.
French toast was amazing and the coffee was great!
Personal phone battery was low and one of the ladies behind the counter got her own charger and lent it me whilst I finished my breakfast.
Was a great spot and highly recommend!

Nice little coffee shop in Chester. Has long tables for big groups as well as small ones. Unique inside as is part of the old rows architecture- worth checking out just for that. Mainly does small breakfast food and pastries etc. Nice alternative options if you don?t like coffee. Dog friendly. Friendly staff (got my dog a nice bowl of water)

Nice coffee, also tried some dragon well green tea (personally I drink Tieguanyin daily so this is mild^^)
Had lunch several times here and overall quite good.

????? The Kind of Coffee That Makes Life Better
I come here every day ? not out of habit, but because this place hits different. It?s more than a coffee shop. It?s a ritual, a reset, a reminder that good things still exist in this world.
The coffee? Immaculate. Smooth, bold, no bitterness ? just depth, clarity, and care in every cup. You can taste the difference: this isn?t some automated pour or burnt espresso. This is specialty coffee, roasted with intention and brewed by people who actually give a damn.
The baristas know their craft. No half-hearted tamping, no lazy milk frothing. Every flat white is balanced, every pour-over is precise. And if you ever want to nerd out over beans, brew methods, or the latest limited roast ? they?ve got you. Zero pretension, just passion.
The vibe? Clean but not clinical. Cool but not try-hard. Whether you?re flying solo with a book or in for a quick catch-up, it just works. The playlist is always on point ? no generic café jazz here ? and the people are grounded, friendly, and sharp as hell.
I?ve had coffee in a lot of places ? London, Istanbul, NYC ? but this one? It stays with you. Consistency like this is rare.
If you?re looking for a soulless latte with your name misspelled, go to a chain. But if you want a proper cup made by real people who know exactly what they?re doing ? this is the spot.

Food was tasty but to be honest we waited a ridiculously long time, the coffee was cold but completely burnt and the food was stone cold.

Helpful staff and friendly.
Low ceiling so can be problem with noise with people chatting.

Really like this place, people that work their are very nice. I was visiting from Ohio while the horse races were going on. The place was busy, but the staff were friendly enough to have a quick chat. I was impressed with this coffee shop and the city as a whole. I will be back some day! cheers!
