Coffee beans cafe in Staffordshire Moorlands

What a little gem. Lovely club sandwich, stew, chips and coffees. Simple food done well. Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Thank you.

Very very expensive. Had two jackets potatoes, 1 tea and small apple juice. Came to £23! To top it off the potatoes weren’t cooked through. Staff were lovely though.

The food is ok. The panini was good. The oatcakes with scrambled egg and bacon were delicious. However the sausages in a roll were literally just whole sausages bunged in an unbuttered roll for a princely sum. The tables are small so you’ve got very little room to eat as everything is on a tray. Toilets are mixed so be aware if you let children go alone. Not a bad cafe but not as good as I was told it was.

Came as a group of 8 with two dogs for coffees and cake, decided to sit out side as we didn’t want to trail our dirty shoes inside and was greeted by a lovely young lady who was extremely polite and friendly, unlike her older colleague who was very rude and snappy with us, told us off for sitting outside and eating at the tables available as we hadn’t paid the ‘eating in’ prices despite the fact we weren’t asked if we were eating in or out, and the fact we had mentioned we were sitting outside. She also told the kind younger girl off several times in front of us. The two stars are purely for the young lady, who was lovely. The older woman definitely needs more training in customer service as the attitude we received from her was unbelievable considering the amount of money we have spent here as a group.

We visited this area after staying nearby in a cottage for the weekend - we stopped by the local town for a walk with our dogs and stopped for a coffee. Such a lovely girl behind the counter followed by an older miserable lady to which kept tellingher off for making us drinks we decided to sit outside with. She confronted my family for a fault which was not of our own, we were not made aware we weren’t able to sit outside with takeaway cups even tho we had still spent money with the cafe- sounds like an issue of the cafes not ours if we aren’t made aware. We just put £40 + behind the counter and we’re treated like total scum by an old battle axe - will not be returning due to her lack of customer service skills and total attitude.

Horrible food cheap ingredients used breakfast was rank and all for the price of it 9.50 total rip off cake was stale it had green things on it

The baguette used to make my egg mayonnaise sandwich looked as if it had never seen the inside of an oven. It also arrived with bacon in it, good job I'm not a vegetarian! The ice cream milkshake I ordered, didn't have any ice cream in it! My Other Half's was exactly the same, but he'd ordered chips, which credit where it's due, were edible. One to avoid.

Called in on a visit to Leek had the scone and a pot of tea. It was very nice BUT butter,jam and cream in little paper pots!!! Surely would be better to invest in small glass pots and better for the enviroment.Staff were friendly but service slow

AVOID AVOID AVOID Filthy tables, chef only knows how to use the microwave. Full breakfast was horrendous. Hard dry bacon, hard eggs, cheap sausages. Luckily my breakfast served as a warning to the guests on the table opposite and was able to warn them not to eat here. Has browns had a browner colour than David Dickinson!! Really please avoid this place for your own health. £9.25 for a plate of rubbish.

Visited on Saturday May 27th 2023. Sat outside as the weather was beautiful, ordered cheese on toast x 2( so 4 slices in total) a traditional pasty, a tea an oasis drink and a fruit shoot. The total was just over £25.00!!!!!! I cannot get over how expensive this was, there was no garnish, nothing, in fact the cheese on toast had been forgotten about, and we had to wait ages for it to be done. There are much nicer and cheaper cafes further up the road….. I feel totally ripped off, can someone respond if I was charged incorrectly please.

Haven’t been in here for a few years definitely not the reasonably upmarket cafe it used to be. Young untrained staff, bacon cheese and oatcakes has a big gob of mild cheddar and half cooked bacon with white fat, most unpleasant. If they used better tastier cheese they would need less. Won’t be going here again in a rush.

The food is expensive for the quality provided. I ordered a Coronation Chicken sandwich. What I actually got was a submarine roll with a smearing of Coronation Mayonnaise and dry, plain sliced chicken on it. Not what I would call Coronation Chicken! My mum had a cheese and tomato toastie, which was nice with plenty of filling. The “coleslaw” on the side was mainly chunks of red onion. A bit of a mixed experience overall.

Very disappointing! Me and my mum visited today.. ordered two jacket potatoes and a pot of tea! There was hardly any filling in the ‘microwaved’ baked potatoes and the salad was so small (with no dressing). The tea arrived in a stained stainless steel teapot that had seen better days… and we were charged £21.60 for the privilege! Sorry.. we will not be returning.. there are far better places in Leek to spend your money!!

We chose this café to have breakfast having driven from Stoke today. My husband chose a cappuccino coffee and was told the machine was not working and only tea or filtered coffee was available. We ordered breakfast and a pot of tea. Whilst we were there, one customer took her coffee back as it was cold. Our pot of tea was tasteless. My husbands breakfast sausage was what he describes as cheap, and his bacon and toast was burnt. The meal consisted of a small piece of tomato, scrambled egg that was so dense he had to slice it to eat it. No butter came with his toast. When I asked foe some I was handed a small pot with a block of hard butter. The attitude of the staff was uncaring, unprofessional and not at all bothered about the customers. For a full English breakfast it was poor. I got the opinion that any complaint would have fallen on deaf ears.

i came in on the 10th of december and i ordered two sausage rolls and a cup of tea my order was taken by a young man although he seemed more interested in getting me sat down rather than talking too him. however the service from the young girl with brown hair was lovely and brought the food over in no time at all, absolute pleasure being served by her as we had a chat about all the different cakes they had on the day, she managed to talk me into trying their banana bread which i have to say was lovely. the food was spot on and the tea was brewed by a clear professional, i meant to leave the young girl a tip but forgot and when i went in a few days after she wasn’t working so if you could inform me on her name i would be very grateful.

My Wife and I visited for breakfast after a very disappointing visit four years ago. I am sorry to say that this place is still awful. The breakfast consisted of overpriced, poorly cooked, cheap ingredients served lukewarm. Definitely NEVER again!

The oatcakes were average. The cakes were excellent. But we had to clear our own table onto an adjacent one. There were a further two tables stacked with dirty dishes, and while we had our lunch two more couples arrived and also did their own clearing. Luckily the lad doing a partial job of keeping the cafe nice had left the disinfectant bottle twenty minutes earlier, so at least we all had the materials we needed! The pic shows the only remaining free table in the cafe when we had all finished. Before we left another couple actually sat at it, waiting for it to be cleared. Disgusting! There were lots of young staff members on duty but nobody was supervising them. Management need to take control!

Just collected a take out breakfast box, as ordered yesterday. Great hot food. ready bang on time. Value for money. Would highly recommend take out service. Have also had some excellent cold buffets from Coffee Beans recently, will be ordering again.

Definitely not going again as it was not as described. Jacket Potato with butter and Freshly prepared salad ..... I don’t think so . I was told to find a table ( which they were all full of dirty dishes ) one lady waiting on. When she cleaned it I asked if Jackets were oven done and crispy, she said yes .... well mine came , soft like it had been microwaved and a spoonful of beans covered by grated cheese. I didn’t want to complain as there were people close by and I was on my dinner break so would not have time to wait for a replacement if I was offered one . Very disappointed as I call in for a takeaway pie usually and they are lovely , but 9.85 for spud and cuppa tea is a joke , especially when I am trying to support local businesses through this terrible time . Sorry Coffee Beans you’ve lost my custom.

Came in at lunchtime for 2 coffees and 2 cakes. Told to find a table and come back to order. I opted for a cappuccino and carrot cake while my wife opted for a latte and hobnob tray bake. Worst latte ever tasted like a mix of coffee and tea and average cake. My carrot cake had raisins in the bottom. Might want to clean the baking tins now and again. My cappucino was cold so too it back and got another one slightly warmer. Oh and forgot to say we had to request spoons and sugar for the drinks and cutlery for the cakes. This has to be the worst cafe in leek. STAY WELL CLEAR ..

Bought a coffee this morning it was ice cold, took it back they made another one, took it back to work it was luke warm I was half asleep so I drunk half after then noticing a weird smell now I have horrific tummy ache and feel sick. Can't even blame it on being busy because it wasn't. Wouldn't normally write a review but I feel ill.Not happy

I went with three other members of my family and my son and I hardly touched the food it was so bad. The bacon was tough and I couldn’t cut into it, the sausages were very cheap looking with no taste. They then gave me 2 thick slices of cold toast with hard butter that I couldn’t spread. The coffee wasn’t great and the service from the lady at the till was poor, she was quite rude. Lastly, the cost was over £35 for 4 of us and I felt robbed. I think best to avoid!

No idea how this place is even a going concern, I can't think how the food and coffee could have been worse. Cooked breakfast was a plate of slop with limp toast and sausages that bend suspiciously under your fork, begging not to be eaten. Which they weren't. Miserable eggs that reminded me of school dinners on a bad day. The coffee was awful, the worst I've ever had. It must take effort to be this bad, mere inattention or lack of care would produce better standards. Most of our food and drink was left by everyone in our group, and you know that feeling of regret that you even ate what you did as you walk away. I'd rather have walked off even after paying up front and just accepted the loss. I feel bad for the owners if they read this, you need to find a different calling in life, running a cafe is not for you. Please give up before losses mount, everyone is good at something, you just have to find it.

This must be contender for the worst cafe in the world. We came here for breakfast and were the only people in the place (should have been a sign) and they still managed to forget our order. We thought all was well as they had managed to bring us a plate of butter, which I assume would have been for the bread had it ever made its way into a toaster. Instead of serving us, they proceeded to squawk into their iPads over FaceTime for 20 minutes, the WiFi connection evidently as useless as their own hospitality skills. After 45 minutes we somewhat optimistically checked on our food only to be told they hadn’t been sure why we were still sitting there! That made 3 of us. Please just close down for the sake of anyone that might think getting a couple of pieces of toast in under and hour is a simple task.

Popped in with my wife and our baby, my only concern is that it was a little bit cramped to maneuver our pushchair. Coffee was very good, as were the custard slice and the millionaire's flapjack. Reasonably priced too and friendly service

Call me old fashioned but when in any hospitality business you have to know at the very least the basics of customer service.The woman on the till (face piecing under right eye I think) was quite the rudest person I’ve ever faced when ordering food. She had to put the order through twice, blamed the till and then when our order came it was wrong anyway! She had an angry attitude as if she wanted to punch you just for being there!Please don’t bother going here, Leek is beautiful and there are lots of friendlier places to go. Stairs going up to the toilets are filthy and I noticed the most disgusting mop - absolutely black with filth. If that’s what they’re mopping with, it doesn’t bear thinking about cleanliness standards. Never again!

Great little cafe. Friendly staff and lovely food. Adored the Spiced Tomato and Red Pepper soup with a warm baguette - delicious!

Wouldn’t recommend this cafe to a dog very rude people no manners and the food was cold and overpriced the cafe looks nice outside but it’s like walking into a mortuary no one speaks and if they do it’s yes or no answers wouldn’t go again

Move to Leek area and have visited this cafe a few times for a gorgeous dish of stew-thanks so much.

£14 for 3 drinks, muffin, sausage roll and a bacon toasties. Had to wait 20 minutes for food in a place which had 5 other tables in. Most people Woolwich got their food before us. When we chased we were told the till is old and had not sent the receipt to their kitchen. If you know it is a problem then fix it??The food when came was very poor, muffin dry and stale, sausage roll was greasy and bacon toast was hideous with the toast dry and burnt. We got offered a cake. There was 3 of us and got given one small vanilla slice.Seriously this is a joke of a cafe and run by people who needed to understand the hospitality needed and have standards of food. If you like wasting money on rubbish then by all means this is the place for you.

Found Coffee Beans today and actually gutted I've not been here before.A bakery that also has a cafe attached to it. It was the cakes on display that got us in there as they all looked exceptional.The aim at the time was pot of tea and a cake. The cake certainly met expectations as it was one of the best I've had. The cream tea, wife's choice, was brilliant.Offers hot and cold food and has a weekday specials menu where each day has its own special. Looked so good I'll soon be going back.Lady serving friendly and polite.

Not impressed at all. Poor service, poor food. In fairness we were in a large group but they got pretty much every order wrong, food was not at all worth high prices. Some orders didn’t even arrive. Avoid if busy or if you are in a large group!

Simple request... cheese salad sandwich.... Microwaved stale bread...tough, warm and wet... Not impressed!!!

Tea and coffee ok, cakes dry, staff ok but the supervisor was very grumpy and was not welcoming. Atmosphere was frosty. I couldn’t wait to finish and leave.

Stopped in Leek during a Saturday trip north, looking for coffee and a snack. Keen to support independent businesses so popped into coffee beans. Inside it’s a bit cramped and it’s not exactly service with a smile but the coffee was good and the bacon sarnie reasonable. If you want to avoid corporate brands and go for something a little more traditional then it’s definitely worth a punt.

Dropped in for a light bite always try and give the independents my business, wish I would have given this one a miss.

Just moved into the area and was walking around Leek with my son and two granddaughters. It was a cold day and the the two girls wanted a hot drink so we decided to try the Coffee beans cafe.

Came here over Christmas me and my partner were pleasantly surprised with the selection of homemade cakes and the homemade soup was to die for. Will definitely be visiting again!

Very nice bacon buttie, lots of homemade cakes and main meals. Very central to Leek market. Would visit again

Watch the busy main street while you wait. Staff friendly and efficient, a quaint cafe and good choice of food all prepared fresh, great if you are on your own or a family, lovely with children.

We (2 people) ordered panini and coffee . Both were of a very poor standard. The bill for this was about £20.

What ever as happened to Coffee Beans in Derby Street, Leek, Staffs. Called Friday dinner time - 21st September 2018 for a quick snack.

Visited today. Looked nice from outside, but what a disappointment !! You had to go through a preparation area to get to the toilets, where trays of flapjacks sat. You had to struggle up stairs to get to a disgusting toilet, broken seat, faulty flush, no loo roll, rusty hand dryer which didn't work. Stairway looked like it hadn't been touched for 50years! Back downstairs, we eventually got coffee and cakes. Cakes were like things I made at school, and service wasn't much better. What a shame!

Four of us visted for coffee and cake on a Saturday morning. Very few other customers despite the town being quite busy. Coffee ok but cakes just adequate. Decor a bit dated. If visiting Leek again would probably go elsewhere.

Had lunch, chicken and and bacon salad and steak pie with mushy peas and mash. The decor is very ordinary and gives the impression that nothings changed for years. On the plus side the staff were friendly and the food wholesome.

We visited on Saturday afternoon but the Cafe was not too busy. A few other Customers were eating meals that looked quite nice, so we decided to order food and drinks. The meals were basic and over priced, so were the drinks, £2.10 for a can of coke. We will not be rushing back.

Stale cake that’s been sat for days. Soggy sandwiches. They take 10years to make anything hot. They never have any soup even though they advertise soup of the day. I went on at 2pm last week to be told they had stopped doing hot food!

I visited The Coffee Beans Cafe on a Sunday afternoon in early May. This meant it was quite quiet in the cafe which I feel added to the experience.

The service on entry was lovely, went downhill from there. 25 min wait on food - a baked potato and a cold baguette. The bottom of the potato was hard, the baguette was ok but very overpriced - it came with a small side salad and about 10 stale crisps. Given the choice locally it needs to up its game.

Coffee Beans is where we choose to go when we're in Leek and we want a spot of lunch. The food is lovely and very filling, the prices are good and the service is always pleasant and friendly. You are made to feel welcome by the ladies who run the cafe and they will make sure that everything is satisfactory for your visit.

The food was mediocre. The order got put through incorrectly, so started with the wrong order and over charged - which was sorted. The drink was cold when complained it was reheated which turned it bitter and horrible. As another reviewer said the choice in Leek is great so this is definitely not somewhere for a return trip.

We call in on speck, waited on by a lovely girl dark hair and pony tail very welcoming first the coffee in no time then the lunch can highly recommend it 👍

Ordered a bacon, cheese and tomato baguette and stated very well done.Waited over 10 mins which i have no problem with.The bacon was very pink and I think it was flashed in the grill. Disappointed!!

Service is poor, ambience is drab, the coffee was bitter and the crumpets were flat! It needs an overhaul if it is to survive,otherwise Leek is full of quaint coffee and tea rooms so I wouldn’t recommend going to Coffee Beans.

Went for lunch. Long wait for drinks and my partner ordered Our, peas and gravy. Pie finally arrived in tin foil on a side plate. Asked them to put on bigger plate with the peas and gravy. Took our away. Ten minutes lster a tiny jug of gravy arrived but no pie or peas. Asked where the pie was to be told it's coming. Then a bowl of peas came. Still no pie. Finally after 15 minutes the pie in tin foil came. No apology. Gravy now cold. I had a dry bacon sandwich which was very poor. The staff appeared totally disinterested. And the food was not cheap. A really appalling visit and one we will not repeat.

An average meal today. I paid 4.95 for the beef stwe and a roll which was tasty but the portion was tiny and I could easily have eaten 3 of them my wife had the jacket potato and coronation chicken which she enjoyed..

Been in today at lunch time with quite a big order (which they will not be having again) a sandwich needed making up so i ordered and nipped somewhere else. When i got back to collect i realised i'd forgotten to ask for Mayonnaise on the sandwich.

went to leek market , but it was not on so went for a coffee, very pleasant and nice coffee...

We stumbled across this excellent cafe late on Sunday afternoon after a drive out and meander around Leek. We were...

A couple of years ago I wrote about this lovely cafe. Nothing has changed . Still very pleasant staff working very hard to provide an excellent service. Apart from the comfortable cafe, they also provide a wide range of delicious sandwiches and will make up whatever you want if is not at ready in the cabinet. Will visit again a few times whilst we are staying in Leek.

I ordered takeaway jacket potato with cheese beans and coleslaw

We like to tell readers about the good things in the service industry but here we go with a shocker.

The staff seemed to be having a passive aggressive argument made it very awkward. The waitress taking the order was quite rude. Goats cheese panini with red onion chutney was very basic , so basic in fact the onion was chopped and not chutney , the salad was like the ends of a lettuce and then for some reason a handful of crisps?? You pay for what you get I suppose. The tables weren't cleaned a young couple actually walked out. The prices and portions for the takeaway cakes are good! And the guy serving is really nice But there are nicer cleaner and cheaper cafes in Leek which is where I'm going next. I took a picture of the panini but can't upload for some reason.

We popped in for coffee on a recent Sunday morning as it one of the few cafe's open in town. A cafetiere of coffee for two and a glass of orange came to about £6.40. Unfortunately the coffee was weak and insipid and the orange juice, whilst a large glass full, tasted like it came from a carton of basic supermarket own brand. My main concern though was the state of the cups. Most of the glaze around the rim of my cup had seen better days and it looked stained. I had to ask for a replacement and it took three attempts before a half decent cup appeared. I know make a living running a café these days can be hard but if the owners invested in some new crockery and bought some better quality ingredients this could be a really nice place .

We wanted a nice breakfast in Leek, picked this place because the one we wanted to go to didn't open until later in the morning, we should have waited, ordered two Full English and one oatcakes, bacon & scrambled egg. First the scrambled egg with the oatcakes was clearly microwaved and devoid of all flavour, how difficult is it to make proper scrambled eggs! The sausages with the full english must have been the cheapest available, the bacon was overcooked, not crisp just hard! No offer of any sauce to go with any of the breakfasts and none available on the table, to be honest couldn't be bothered to ask as wanted to leave as quickly as we could. Staff not interested in customer service, just plonked everything on the table. Also, if Coffee Beans read their reviews, I suggest you invest in some teacups those we were given had clearly seen their best days! Not good, will not be going back.

We stopped in for some lunch when the weather was bad and found this to be a nice, warm and welcoming cafe. The service was good and whilst the food was basic there was a good selection and we thought the food was good.There are a lot of mixed reveiws but we would certainly recommend it.Craig & Gemma Edwards.

my wife loved the coronation chicken - and i really enjoyed my Staffordshire oatcakes with bacon and cheese - delicious - coffees good too!

Called in for lunch and enjoyed it immensely. The food was of good quality and the service was excellent. I'm a stickler if you read any of my other reviews but this was good - so I can only assume that after reading some of the poor reviews from April/May the management have improved things. Table was clean, service prompt and the staff friendly.

We visited for lunch and were so disappointed The rolls were hard were they had been microwaved for too long ?? The place was full of flies the rolls were described as jumbo they were tiny and rock hard The staff are up against it as Chris isn't in the real world they went to him after agreeing the rolls were a mess and saying they would give us a refund then they said Chris says No would you like some cakes ? Er no we have tasted your bread why on earth would we want cake £14 for that ??? Would be better spent in McDonald's

Popped in for snack. Tables left untidy and uncleared from previous customers. Staff approx 5 all chatting amongst themselves. Toilets not clean and tidy...baby changing mat left thrown on floor. Food served at separate times for the people at our table. I rate this as 2 star as it could have been worse. Food ok..dump.

We have visited this cafe many times before and the service and food has always been to a high standard. We visited a few weeks ago and it was very disappointing, the lady behind the counter was having a domestic with her partner over the counter for the world to hear, not something you want to see whilst having a quiet lunch. The food was of average standard, As it is now one of the few remaining cafes on the high street we decided to try it again today. We arrived at 12.05 (on a lunch hour), and there was only 1 more table in so we figured the wait would not be too long. After waiting 40 minutes for a Jacket potato, beef sandwich, baguette and sausage roll we were disappointed with the quality of food to say the least and had to eat it in a rush And all for the hefty price of £27 with 3 drinks! . The potato was cold, the bacon on the baguette over microwaved and the sausage roll was over cooked! We decided after such a poor lunch to take some cakes back to the office...terrible. The cornflake cake was bitter, The shortbread inedible and the cornflake caramel cake soft, as if it had been sat for a week. Again the same lady who was having a domestic a few weeks earlier was on the shop phone to her partner again, whilst a shop full of people waited to be served! We have since heard rumors the cafe has been taken over by different people, if not i would suggest the current owner looks for some different staff before she has no business left.

Situated on the main street, Coffee Beans is ideal for a refreshing cup any time of the day.Whilst enjoying your choice you can enjoy watching the world go by in this lovely market town.

Called at the cafe as we were in Leek having a wander around on a nice sunny day. Found the cafe to be very clean and well presented and were greeted by helpful and friendly staff. Ordered a couple of sandwiches and a pasty, and unfortunately the cheese and onion pasty wasn't very nice, quite over cooked, so we asked for it to be changed and this was handled very quickly and with minimum fuss, it was swapped for a Cornish pasty which was much better. It always impresses me when problems are handled quickly and with minimum fuss by people who obviously care about the service they are providing. Lovely cakes followed our lunch.I would really recommend this cafe if your ever in Leek and hungry.

went for lunch today with a friend....... Our food came we was asked if we would like any sauces, we asked for tomato and mayo and they never came. The food was lovely but they seemed to be very rushed.

Ordered an English breakfast, the toast didn't come with butter, therefore i asked for some at the counter, she then proceeded to take some butter from someone else's finished Meal, from a pile of trays behind the counter and justified it with ' it's okay it was fresh today'. It's clearly not fresh, it's unused... it's been on someone else's meal where they could have coughed, sneezed etc over it. After finishing the waitress then asked my partner if everything was okay, but clearly had an issue with me because I questioned the butter. Questionable standards, won't be going again. Unprofessional, ignorant attitude

Went for a quick coffee and watch the world go by, the coffee took a while to come but was delicious so worth the wait. A really old world café, plenty of seating and good menu.

Visited today whilst in Leek, the big full English breakfast was fantastic. Perfectly cooked. Kudos to the chef. The lady running the cafe was also very friendly.I would certainly recommend the breakfast here and pleasant staff.

A traditional beamed ceiling tea/coffee shop serving a wide selection of teas, coffees, cakes and savouries. A good selection of specials.Pleasant and efficient staff.

Called in for pie peas and gravy. My friend had the stew. Food very tasty albeit small portions. The blonde waitress was very friendly a ray of sunshine on a very dreary day in Leek. Not sure of they have had a new wooden floor but I found it quite slippy .

My hubby and I often pop in here whenever we are in Leek. Today we both had cottage pie and chips with bowls of baked beans and mushy peas as extras. Please note that both the extras are enough for two people. Coffee and tea to finish. Lovely delicious food and the staff were very pleasant.

Visited Saturday 26 November and had bacon and cheese baguette and drinks. Baguette was really poor with loads of thick melted cheese which had cooled and dry bacon. We weren't offered any sauce. Latte was very weak and there was more in the saucer and running down the outside of the cup than in the cup. Place is bit grim inside, looks a bit dirty. Staff friendly though but won't be visiting again as not good value for money. Baguettes overpriced coffee overpriced.

Lovely staff, great coffee & bacon sarnie. Nice place to sit and chill out whilst shopping in Leek, Thank you

Coffee and cake with my AuntyThe staff are lovely. Chatty and helpful Pleasant surroundings quaintly presentedLarge range of coffee and sweet or savory bakes

Popped in around 2.30pm for cream tea and afternoon tea. Staff friendly and food was pleasant. We were visiting from out of town. A thorough and good deep clean is required. Floor was covered in waste food from earlier. All the ledges covered in grit and dust, chairs stained food and drink splashes and spills the light fittings full flies. I would not visit again if I lived locally.Shame because the food OK but made me wonder about state of cleanliness in kitchens.

Lovely friendly cafe, with a spacious layout so that the tables are not too near each other.Good quality food, really pleasant staff and no hassle about moving on.

popped in for hot chocolate.was greeted with a nice polite smile which is unusual for most coffee shops in leek. the hot chocolate was really nice. got talking to a group of people on the next table and my one drink turned into two along with tea cakes. all in all it was a nice and relaxing hour.

Really welcoming visit, staff were very polite. Food and drinks both served steaming hot with a smile from the waitresses. Will be returning :)

Visited Coffee beans last week & had a lovely jacket potato & scrummy latte. The staff were really friendly & the service good. the only downside is that it could do with a little update, We will be returning.

Called here for lunch today with my son. We both had hot chocolate which were cups of luck warm milk with no taste of chocolate at all!! My son had a tea cake which was burnt all round the edges! I ordered a tuna and cheese toasted sandwich, which was basically cheese on toast with cold tuna mayo slapped on the top with a bit of brown lettuce!! Don't waste your money the kitchen also love ok filthy when I went upstairs to the toilet

Popped in for a quick cup of coffee, but should have gone elsewhere. There were no prominent price lists anywhere, and the cakes in the display cabinet were unlabelled. Staff didn't seem particularly happy, and our order was interrupted by another member of staff trying to tell our server something unrelated to work. We were the only couple placing an order at that time, and there was only one other occupied table in the café. Our table was missing napkins, and we were only given enough milk for my tea. The atmosphere wasn't particularly friendly, so we left quicker than we would otherwise. The absolute worst feature of our visit were the 5 or 6 flies buzzing around the kitchen area, despite it being relatively cold today. We won't be returning in a hurry.

Went as a couple for a hot drink, good selection of teas and coffee which was served with a smile by the waitress

We enjoyed the cake and pastry, but the latte and flat white were awful, weak, very milky, poor milk texture.

I have enjoyed many visits to this cafe with my family. The coffee, hot chocolate and all of their cakes are just divine! Their prices are great too, £8 for 2 cakes and 2 large cup and saucers of hot chocolate. We felt totally full after that, we always pop in here before heading around the shops. The staff are very hard working and helpful, in fact they are the same in their Buxton branch also. A great place for wonderful cakes and a cosy atmosphere.

My wife and I had a trip to Leek for the afternoon . Nice walk around the tisn centre and market stalls . We called in the cafe for a quick coffee . Friendly efficient service and good lattes .Toilets clean as is god rest of the cafe . We would definitely call in again . Steve

This is about the only Café in Leek that I haven't been to - so tried it today for coffee.Coffe ok, nice cakes and service friendly.

Don't pay more at Premier inn (if your staying there) popin here for a hot roll and drink,friendly and welcoming.

Wonderful, obliging staff. What must be the best food in Leek. A very welcome stop for 7 adults and two dogs for a late coffee break/early lunch. Definitely the go-to place for a fun and tasty coffee time

Visited this cafe with boyfriend today, when we went in the lady said find a table and choose your food then go to the till to order and pay. I did this but not once did any staff come over to clean the table from the previous customers. I asked them twice to come and clean it as it was disgusting. A lot of customers were complaining of service and quality of food in there, but it was too late to change our mind as you have to pay when you order. My boyfriend ordered a vegetarian breakfast and it came with 2 dry pieces of toast. He had to ask them for butter which taken 5 minutes to bring it out and it was rock solid due to it being in the fridge. The toast was then cold so had to ask for some more. I ordered a panini which was ok but not fantastic. Service was terrible and really slow. It cost £16.10 for 1 vegetarian breakfast, 1 tuna panini and 2 lattes, expensive for crap food and a poor service. Will definately not be visiting them again.

Whilst staying in Leek we had breakfast twice in this café. The food is a good quality and reasonably priced. The menu is quite extensive for both breakfast and lunch. The traditional breakfast in particular is good for the price. We also bought cakes which were of a generous size. This café is a good option if staying at The Premier Inn as it's nearby. We prefer to support local small businesses, rather than eat in hotels.

Popped in here for a couple of light lunches as very convenient to our hotel. Food is adequate and acceptable to keep you topped up until dinner. Choice of bread, fillings etc for sandwiches, which include crisps and coleslaw. They also serve hot snacks such as pies, pasty's and sausage rolls with chips and beans etc. Seemed to be fairly busy but seating is slightly cramped and not great for wheelchairs, prams and pushchairs. Staff are jolly and pleasant, they also have a uncanny ability to scream your order up the stairs to the first floor kitchen..........quite entertaining - well done girls!
