Chapters Cafe in Epsom and Ewell

I was waiting for my son at learning space next door, the Cafe is open at 9.30 but never opens until 9.45, the person serving said I will come over and let you know when I am ready, he came over at 10.00 and pick my son up at 10.10. Completely pointless. You really need to change your opening hours.

Popped in for a coffee after my swim, paid £3.40 for a latte. Nice enough cup of coffee, but maybe a bit pricey? The place is fine but it's no high-end coffee shop!

Had a lovely jacket potato and my son had chicken nuggets and chips. Staff was very friendly. Curly haired boy in the kitchen had a great smile even when serving up food! Highly recommend after a great swim session

Had a spare half hour so popped into the cafe on Monday morning and it had a good choice of snacks. I opted for the panini and it came nicely presented. Staff were lovely and friendly and the whole area was clean. Defiantly recommend

Wow, £3.25 for a cheese and pickle sandwich.... Anyone would think we’re in the south of France! Needless to say I didn’t find out what it tastes like, I went to the shop and bought a loaf of bread, some cheese and some Branstons Pickle all for £2.90...

Nice food, jacket potatoes, omelettes and teacakes etc., kid meal available if required. High chairs also available. Clean and tidy, busy little café next to Epsom library. Beware though that a lot of student use it to just sit and hog the tables.

Chapters Café is found within the Rainbow Centre, Epsom, Surrey and offers snacks and drinks to all - from the gym bunnies, casual swimmers and all others. The bonus is that you can enter the café through the main entrance by telling the staff that you are visiting the café and therefore no need to pay an entrance fee to the Rainbow centre. The café is very clean and well laid out, with ample seating and opportunities to watch the swimmers if desired (very helpful for keeping an eye on the children)! You can purchase a wide range of food, from hot drinks to sweets, with more substantial items for the boosting of energy after that workout. Interestingly, you can have a milkshake with ADDED protein powder - need to ask about this to what exactly it contains!! After our swim with the children, we opted for a baked potato each along with some crisps and drinks - very reasonable and filling. There is something for everyone here, along with some newspapers and magazines freely available to read at the far end of the counter to break up the time waiting for the others to get dressed and do their hair!!
