My 1st visit here & great service & value for money, My best ever scrambled egg on toast & such great service. Looks like they have a lot of regular customers which is a good sign. Apparently been open a year now & the owner made me feel welcome. Very clean & well kept.

A really cosy coffee shop. I ordered a hot chocolate which was divine. I sat right at the back in the corner which was so comfortable.. the perfect coffee shop for an introvert! The staff are friendly but also leave you to it to enjoy and don’t pester you which is great!!!

Great potential but sadly a let down. The team were aloof and forgetful whilst the food not well prepared and portions slim. For example a BLT contained only two rashes of bacon and barely a tomato (not a full one). I came with a party of four and unfortunately nothing good to report from any of us.

Chestnuts coffee shop is meant to be a nice and welcoming local cafe. However, the use of highly harmful coasters with 'OCD obsessive coffee disorder' does nothing to help with welcoming customers, especially those that suffer from OCD. In fact, it only harms everyone involved, and the right thing to do would be to make sure those coasters are not used again

This coffee shop is amazing. The coffee is to die for and the cakes there is just no words. Staff so friendly. I would recommend to everyone. I would say 100% better then Costa coffee. I loved Costa coffee but now I will only go to chestnut. Please support your local small businesses through this horrible time. They need the custom more then the big chain coffee shops and the coffee and cakes so much better just stunning and very good priced. I have also been for brunch before. My poached egg was really nice. Also, if your like me and you have a gluten intolerance then you don’t need to worry there, there is gluten free bread and cakes. I always struggle to find places that serve gluten free so this is a massive positive for me. Family members have also had the afternoon tea from chestnut and said it’s incredible. I have never tried it personally but from the pictures looked amazing. As I said above, I can’t recommend this coffee shop enough.

My partner and I visited Chestnuts for the first time today. It has a good ambience, an interesting food menu (which we didn't try on this occasion) and we were appreciative of the cards and other items that were on sale. The coffee was disappointing; I felt that my 'Flat White' tasted rather bitter (though this is perhaps just a matter of personal taste) while my partner's Cappuccino was decidedly weak and really needed an extra shot to bring it up to standard strength. The staff were reasonably pleasant when they could be dragged away from their chit-chat and mobile phones. 'Chestnuts' has the potential to be an excellent coffee shop, but it currently falls short, especially in terms of service and staff attitude.If we ever go back, it will be to try the food.

This week, fresh today, was Raspberry and Coconut and it didn’t disappoint. How lovely it is to be able to have the same portion size as everyone else. Keep up the great work Chestnuts.

A nice cosy cafe. I had a cream.tea. the scone was a good size and was warmed up presented with clotted cream and jam. This was all made fresh with a teapot big enough to make two teas. The children had childrens sandwiches which was big enough to feed an adult. Generous portions, friendly staff. A nice place to sit for lunch. I will visit again if were ever in the area.

I tried this cafe for the first time, all I had was a bacon sandwich, then ordering I asked for well done bacon which I was told was no problem, and ketchup. When I got back into my car and started to eat the sandwich I couldn't have been more dissapointed, the bacon was sparse and under cooked for normal in my mind, the fat was not rendered at all. The sauce was also generic not Heinz and tasted bad. Had I not left the cafe I would've asked for a refund. I can't comment about other food however avoid the bacon sandwiches.

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!
