Had always walked by this place to go for breakfast in the wetherspoons opposite, went in for breakfast and I will never walk by this place again. Lovely little cafe, mega breakfast was exactly that, mega, great value for money and absolutely delicious. Very clean, lovely decor, very friendly and polite staff, loved it

Dealt with a lovely lady named Rosie when buddies catered for the mourners at my dads wake. Lovely food at a reasonable price per head, very helpful when I asked them to also prepare a platter of gluten free food at quite short notice. Would use Buddies again

Absolutely disgustingly disrespectful! I’m a transgender woman, and have been for a number of years, I do not look remotely male in any way.!! I visited the cafe today with my partner this afternoon, when I went up to the counter to place my order the “gentleman “ who served me whom I can only assume is possibly the owner or proprietor referred to me as “SIR “ while he took the order, I looked at him in disgust and disbelief and he corrected himself and said “sorry Madam “ I then asked for 2 coffees and he said “just normal coffees SIR”!!!! I could not believe what I was hearing? I then politely asked him to stop calling me SIR, he apologised again but the damage was done. I felt degraded and deflated to say the least, ok I may have a slightly deeper voice than some females but I definitely do not look like one, I can understand someone making a mistake we all do, but to make a mistake then correct yourself and apologise then in the very next breath do it again????? That is not a mistake, that is blatant ignorance and transphobia and there is absolutely no place for that kind of behaviour in this day and age. Obviously we will not be returning there again and I hope others from the LGBTQ community and beyond follow suit.

Well I ate in there a few months back and I was very disappointed with my toasted sandwich which came on a plate on its own. No salad, no coal slaw, it was on very thin bread and looked and tasted bland. There were young people working in there who were more interested in the young lad that was a customer, than the food they were serving. Show them how to dress a plate so that it looks inviting. Not a patch on Mrs T’s I’m afraid

Good food nice simple and not bad prices. Only gripe is that the glasses stink of eggs. They obviously don’t know about using vinegar before placing dishes that have had eggs on in the dishwasher! It was also very cold in there on the last visit which doesn’t help with wanting hot food

Cheap processed food. Absolutely appalling. My eggs where fried on an excessive heat that made the underneath go to the consistency of what I imagine chipboard would feel like in your mouth. The sausage reminded me of of mushed up baby food. I don’t think you would find a trace of pork in them. Coffee was nice. I left all the breakfast. Why they don’t use good produce is beyond me. Won’t be going there again.

Highly recommended 👌

Only visited once for breakfast and it was delightful. Lovely atmosphere friendly staff and great food. But my review is mainly for the stunning buffet prepared for my surprise party recently. Food quality was exemplary and remarked on by several guests who thought it was a local well known high class food store. Best scones, quality sausage rolls and a great nibbles selection and lovely fresh sandwiches. Beautifully prepared and presented. Can't thank you enough.

Thought I’d give this place a try, as I miss having a decent cafe near me. This place is just another run of the mill, mutton dressed as lamb combo. Cheap produce nothing sourced locally, bland and boring, you can tell the quality of a place buy their eggs. Mine were over cooked with that burnt golden hard shell on the bottom. The source bottles are Daddies. But I don’t know what’s in them? I think some cheap brand watered down. As it’s in wigston. The local people obviously don’t appreciate good food. Poor standard of food. Staff shouting out orders. I wouldn’t bother again.

My daughter & I went to the Wigston Cheesecake shop on 8th February 2021 approximately 11.30 am. We saw a cheescake we liked in the open fridge cabinet and tried to find someone to help us. My daughter saw the young female assistant doing something behind the counter and after a waiting for her we had to get her attention and ask if we could have the cheesecake we chose. She took it to the back & after a while returned to start writing on her clipboard and she totally ignored us. I asked her what happened to our cheesecake and she said that it was out of date and should not have been on display in the first place and continued writing on her clipboard. We received no apology and she didn't seem to care about us. We walked out in disbelief at the terrible service. We then went to Gregg's instead across the road and got some delicious doughnuts and the lady was so friendly and gave the best service with a smile. The cheesecake shop should learn from Gregg's what service with a smile means. WELL DONE GREGG'S & THANKS FOR YOUR EXCELLENT SERVICE! Will never visit the Cheesecake Shop again!

Este lugar no tiene sentido para sus clientes, especialmente para el beneficio de ellos hace. Se tienen que limpiar sus propias tablas, en un ajetreado día tienes que respirar sus clientes compañeros ya que no tiene sistema de aire de circulación. El personal no están capacitados en atención al cliente o higiene y pido al propietario a mirar la grabación de 17 - 12 - 16 en 11. 35 y ver lo que uno de los empleados está haciendo - Manipulación de un perro y luego servir a los clientes. En días ocupados los asientos en el lugar y también estar preparado para oler los aseos ya que abre al lado de asientos y la lista continúa.
