Bread & Honey in Leicester

Cute little place, good carrot cake and iced lattes! Was so busy at lunch too which is always a good sign!!

This is a great place for a soup and sandwich lunch or coffee/tea and cake. The staff are efficient and courteous and the atmosphere very pleasant. Highly recommended.

Just what I was looking for - a fabulous little independent coffee shop. Warm and welcoming with lovely sandwiches and cakes.

Beautiful bakes and coffee here and I noted some incredibly stuffed sandwiches in the fridges which looked to be excellent quality. Bread & Honey is located in one of the nicest areas of the city core with plenty of seats for people watching. You can buy the delicious Monmouth coffee they use here as beans and they will even grind it to your preference. Friendly staff just ensures your visit here is an enjoyable one.

Friendly service, good value, latte replaced without question when the first was missing its caramel shot. Much appreciated 👍

A great place for early bird,they are opening form 7am! They have amazing coffee (except the plastic straws are so fragile).And I am really enjoying the hand made banana loaf,they are not too sweet,and you can taste the fresh banana flavor.

Went in today with my daughter and her friend after collecting their A-level results and asked the man who worked there if there was any discount for the students on their results day - the owner very kindly brought over three free delicious cakes and said to enjoy and celebrate! What a very generous and kind man! The coffee and hot chocolate were amazing too! Definitely recommend

The best cafe in Leicester. Fabulous coffee, a great selection of delicious fresh pastries and lovely staff. I had issues with my card and they were so kind and lovely about it all. Highly recommend it.

Lovely place with friendly staff. Had tuna mayo sandwich which was really fresh on lovely bread. The banana loaf cake was excellent as well.

We really loved Bread & Honey. Staff is really nice, it's a dog friendly place. And food is good ! Recommended their loafs. We'll be back :)

Lovely sandwiches and cakes, very friendly staff, totally recommend!

Lovely independent coffee shop. Really friendly. And fantastic coffee.

There are lots of coffee shops in Leicester and some are pretty good. Then there's Bread and Honey, without doubt Leicester's very best. The coffee here is next level compared to anywhere else in the city. The Monmouth beans they use are stunning and each coffee is made perfectly. They also sell a good selection of coffee beans too. They bake a lot of their cakes and make fresh sandwiches every day. The sausage and bacon sandwiches are fantastic and very large. Great soups, great salads, great place!

Always gives ma a soothing and cozy farmhouse atmosphere, nice bloomer sandwiches and I usually come here for a hot chocolate, they always make it exactly how I ask not too sweet and sometimes mixed dark and milk chocolate also the white chocolate is very nice. I've been here many times now and they've never failed to serve beautiful authentic products. Shout out to the small intricate business, you are the one ^-^

Was only in town as an overnight visitor, but this was the perfect low-key breakfast spot. Soft & fresh bakers bread, tasty well cooked bacon -- washed down with a Monmouth coffee. Friendly, chatty staff and an independent business well worth supporting. Recommended.

I have recently been in Leicester for 2 weeks working and found this beautiful little place. The coffee hit the spot, the cakes were divine and the soup for lunch was out of this world! But most importantly the staff were super friendly, very chatty and seemed interested in everyone’s day. They remembered my order which was a bonus! Turns out one of the staff had just moved from where I live, very small world! Would definitely come back here if I am ever around this area again!

they make a lovelyyy long black!! loads of info and advice from the lovely staff too! will be back :)

Excellent coffee shop! A must visit

Lovely place, best hot chocolate in leicester as well as the homemade sandwiches and soup! The service is always very warm and welcoming!

Very good sandwhiches and drinks. Prices very good.Seating in and outside.

Great coffee and fresh pastry. Staff also very friendly.

Popped in here by chance and was thrilled! Really really good coffee, delicious muffins and the folk were really nice

It's a very sweet place. employees are friendly...🤘🤘

The lady at the counter is so incredibly friendly. I ordered a bacon sandwich and a hot chocolate with syrup added and it only came to £7 which is incredibly cheap nowadays and it was probably the best bacon sandwich i’ve had. I had a lecture coming up so I wanted a coffee in my flask. Not only did the lady do it without any issues but spoke to me whilst making it and even did little art at the top, and the coffee was probably the best i’ve tasted! Definitely coming back soon

Vey friendly staff and owner. Cosy environment, amazing coffee and great selection of breakfast and/or brunch food items (including fresh bread loaves). A great place to start your day!

Lovely ambient experience, with generous portions of beverage + cake and aesthetics and crockery and exceedingly good service 😀 👌

Employee was very kind and even gave us a extra snack due to a fly falling into my coffee

Clean environment, children friendly, Freshly sliced wholemeal bread bacon sandwiches and two coffee for takeaway this was a little more expensive than I would normally pay for but paid for better quality of food definately. Fresh Home- made soup and freshly sliced chunky bread was being prepared for lunch time definately a must for next time.

First, but most certainly not the last, visit. Coffee is, as other reviews have stated, truly excellent (and far removed from recent French experience!!). Thank you.

My kind of coffee shop. Very relaxed place, great coffee, and good chat with the owner (I think) :)

Lovely coffee, brilliant fresh food items, perfect service 👍

Love the vibe. Love the coffee. And love paying a business owner instead of shareholders for my coffee.

Very chilling atmosphere, really lovely coffee, very polite service through the front door at the counter, or through the serving hatch on the other side of the property, so it is possible to get delicious grub and gorgeous drinks without even having to deviate from whichever route one happens to be passing on. A proper independent café with local owners in the heart of Leicester. Highly recommended!

Nice little place, good food and good coffee. Friendly helpful staff.

Very cute coffee shop with a nice selection of cakes! For a drink, I ordered a hot latte which was smooth and rich. You can sit outdoors and for solo cafe hoppers, there’s a bar and tall stools inside. Great service!

Lovely coffee and amazing pastries with great customer service

Great coffee, great granola, great vibe.

One of the best coffee shops in Leicester

Best soup and service ever! definitely recommend and worth trying even if the soups sound strange. Staff are so kind

A wholesome lunch toastie with a great coffee. Delicious rosemary bread with tasty cheese. The homemade cakes looked good too but only wanted savoury this time.

Very nice coffee, nicest we have had in a long time, and they don't charge extra for plant based milks which other places do. We were served by Jessie and her service was excellent, all the staff there are lovely. Only down side is no vegan cake, but they are working on it.

Intimate Cafe with delicious soups, sandwiches and sweet treats. Lovely staff. Love the tomato chili soup with bread and butter

My favourite coffee shop in leicester 😋 😍 ❤️

Usually sandwiche's are great, just brought bacon and brie granary sandwich.. Bread great, good amount of brie but hardly any bacon... Small pieces that don't amount to even a slice! .... Will try different filling next time.

Sandwiches are amazing and so is the coffee and the soups.

Great coffee and the breakfast sandwiches will return

The best Coffee house in Leicester!

Discovered this lovely coffee shop today and I have to say that the service was very friendly and what made me super happy was I asked for a English cup of Yorkshire tea and it was served in a pot 😊 Very happy indeed. I tried the raspberry loaf slice Amazing! Very fresh and taste all home made . Will be coming here again definitely 👍🏼

Best coffee (and sinful bakes) in this part of Leicester! Came here every morning for a week, left with a smile every time

We had walked some distance when we came across this coffee shop with an outside terrace. The staff were very pleasant, we had two good quality flat white coffees which cost £6. We very much enjoyed a much needed coffee break.

A very nice coffee shop with lovely coffee and delicious sandwiches and soup. Always a treat to visit

Nice smooth coffee and amazing service.

Yay great coffee in Leicester! Healthy breakfast in a modern laid back setting.

Really fantastic coffee and service. Monmouth coffee has a really fruity flavour and the chocolate brownie I had was brill.

Had a Hazelnut Latte and later The Mushroom Soup. Both delicious! Lovely vibes, cute little cafe, good prices, excellent service, will be sure to return <3

Takeaway coffee & cake with my dog - no problem with me bringing her in, lovely hot oat m*lk latte & delicious carrot cake, perfect weekday treat!

One of my favourite coffee shops, the sandwiches are so yummy, I go in the mornings for a coffee and slice of toast. Their bread is the best bread I've ever had and the coffee is 10/10! Lovely staff and lovely atmosphere! Very friendly. Nice seats outside to sit and overlook new walk

The best coffee in Leicester ( and one of our fav coffee makers in London) , we are always purchasing our coffee from here to have at home and also when out and about. Great cake selection, tasty and fresh.

This place is lovely! The window in the back is a perfect detail, its cozy inside and the food is wonderfully. Also customer service is remarkable! A must in Leicester!

Very nice, I miss the breakfast menu and then there isn't much choice but otherwise brilliant.

Absolute gem! Super nice little café/eatery serving sandwiches, cakes and coffee. Their lemon drizzle was the best I've ever had.

Lovely little cafe . Clean,smart and with very pleasant staff working there .

Lovely bijou cafe with top quality, yummy sandwiches and cakes Flat white to die for! Friendly service and Covid careful too ❤️

Delicious Cortado and freshly baked Raspberry loaf cake sitting on one of the prettiest streets in town? Yes please! The perfect location for Kaffee & Kuchen!

Lovely tuna sandwich and absolutely delicious raspberry loaf cake today, and proper flat white,very reasonable price too!

Got this place recommended by a stranger on the street and absolutely loved it! Had a great sandwich, coffee and a cake. All was delicious and served by a lovely staff.

A small yet stylish coffee shop with a very tasty lunch menu to match. Rustic and homely style is joined by friendly staff to make your coffee that extra special. Well worth a visit this end of town.

A Coffee Shop in the historic heart of Leicester. I loved the relaxed, humble atmosphere inside. It was, unfortunately, a damp day during my visit. The contemporary, decadent outdoor seating cries for customers. The coffee setup is handsome: Victoria Arduino Mythos 1 grinder paired to a Nuova simonelli espresso machine. Coffee beans are complements of Monmouth Coffee Roastery. The result, beautiful chocolatey loveliness.

The ultimate hidden-gem of Leicester! Absolutely wonderful cafe, my favourite of all time! The owner is lovely and all the staff are chatty and friendly, fantastic customer service, they truly make you feel at home! The cafe itself is gorgeous, a rustic yet timelessly cool look, kitted out with vintage school benches and a retro kit kat machine. The owner is a skilled calligrapher and his fantastic typography adorns the walls. Not only does this cafe look stunning and have fantastic customer service, it also serves some of the most INCREDIBLE coffee I've ever had. They have delicious vegan milk options, and for those who don't enjoy coffee, they make incredible, velvety hot chocolate made with melted chocolate flakes and foamy milk. An absolute delight, not to be missed!

My favourite place in all of Leicester. Owner, Paul, has a passion for sourcing and serving coffee of the highest quality, and makes the best hot chocolate! This cafe is very whimsical, from the hand drawn calligraphy to its extensive spread of cakes. They love to support local producers when it comes to creating lunch specialties.

Probably the best coffee shop in Leicester. Paul and his staff give such a personal touch to their service. The mushroom soup is an absolute favourite and the other soups, hot meals and salads are all fantastic.

Best coffee shop I've found in Leicester. Lovely staff and great coffee. Getting a coffee to go and then strolling up New Walk sipping it is an early morning treat. Its also child friendly-ish - the staff were happy to see my 3 year old and made him a baby-chino, which he loved. The seating isn't the best for a toddler, but he enjoyed watching everyone go by from the big window and he was fine perched on my knee.

Best coffee in Leicester!!! Super friendly staff, incredible baked goods and great sandwiches. They offer milk alternatives and always brew to perfection.

Fantastic place. A must visit in Leicester. You should go out of your way to go here.

Great coffee and lovely toast, cheaper than the chains. Top notch

Lovely staff, the best hot chocolate and great soups.

My favourite coffee shop in Leicester. The staff are lovely, the hot chocolate is wonderful & the food is good, especially the cakes. My favourites are the Thai Sweet Potato soup, the banana loaf & a hot chocolate (half-white, half- milk chocolate).

Love this place! Best hot mocha! Great soup and amazing bread!! What's there not to like? I guess it gets busy during lunch rush but we'll worth it!

Coffee is so great here and the food choices for lunch are good too.

The best coffee in Leicester, but more importantly the best banana loaf. The bacon and sausage sandwich is also a life saver when I've done early office starts... and to top it all the friendly staff smile kindly at our inane banter :-)

Really great coffee, lovely people that own and work there, it is simply a good plave to go - awesome cakes!

Excellent hot coffee and real chocolate flakes for hot chocolate. I usually have pain au chocolat which is always an extra treat. Staff are very friendly.

Had a meeting in town and found this place just a short walk from hotel. They serve Monmouth coffee so it was immediately clear they’re serious about good taste and delivered a great flat white. I had one in the shop and another took to go. Great independent, prices to be honest are too cheap as the quality is top notch- well done guys.

Been here before and on the lats visit the gentleman was very friendly. place was very small but had a very cosy feel. dropped by in PM today after an appointment in city centre to buy a cappucino to drink on way home and thought would pick up two cakes (a brownie and a blueberry cake). tried to pay with card but unfortunately the card machine wasn't working. staff tried to fix it to no avail and I managed to scramble in my purse for some money and offered to return one of the cakes to cover as didn't have enough cash (and I really didn't want to walk back the way I came to the nearest cash machine) however the lady behind the counter was very lovely and gave me the cappucino as a complimentary drink as I had sat waiting for a little while. very generous of her and will be returning in the near future to return the favour! many thanks :)

Service is excellent and the food is good

The chocolate brownie here is so very, very good.

My go to coffee place in Leicester best coffee in town

Best coffee in Leicester, top notch food, great staff and service with a smile

Pre-work coffee every day for a much needed boost!

Gorgeous coffee and super friendly staff. The food and cakes are really nice. It's small so not a lot of seating if staying in, though they do have some out door seating). The aesthetic of the place is really lovely.

Great coffee, cakes and sandwiches. Good value.

Great food and drinks at this little gem of a coffee shop. Always friendly and welcoming, you're not just a number here. If you haven't dropped in before then I'd certainly recommend giving it a try.

Fantastic little coffee shop. Absolutely lovely food too. Will definitely be using when in town.

Really good coffee and cakes to boot, visit here and support independent business. Don’t even bother with big chain coffee shops😬

As usual. Great food great coffee. Best in Leicester

Soup from another world....yummy

I've been visiting Bread & Honey for over a year now for my lunch. The sandwiches have tasty fillings on excellent, freshly made bread. The boxed salads are great. And there's a daily choice of soups and hot dishes. The owner, Paul, and his staff are always friendly and pleased to serve.

Always fresh homemade products. Different soups daily. Amazing cakes and sandwiches. Always a pleasure to buy lunch from here

Haven’t been here for a while & remembered this little gem when I craved soup on a cold day.... not any ordinary soup but the best homemade puddle in a pot you could wish for! Forget getting anything else if you work in Leicester City Centre, go here- you won’t regret it... the staff are lovely too.

Had some lovely coffee and bacon sandwich here. Friendly staff too
