Coffee & Cream Beeston in Broxtowe

I frequently come here with my friend for a coffee. For me, this coffee shop has a better taste than the other one in Beeston. Recently, I went there and had a flat white, but it wasn't a great cup of coffee. It was like a cappuccino with thick froth. The presentation appears to be of poor quality. I didn't believe my eyes after I had so many good cups of coffee here. I am unsure how the barista can serve it to the customer.

Stopped here for a Sunday morning coffee while the wife was at church. Bright, well-lit, slightly trendy (but in a good way) space and friendly staff who were happy to make recommendations. Plenty of regulars in evidence judging from the foot traffic. If you like "serious" coffee and want to avoid the likes of Costa, etc. this is your place.

Always get the beans here. Lucky to have nearby coffee roastery

Cartwheel is a lovely cafe, coffee is great. I have been going in since the cafe opened and never been disappointment until yesterday when I invited my colleague to Beeston for a coffee. The young man working in the cafe that morning, 9:30am we arrive, was so perlite and welcoming, however, I was at the coffee bar ordering 2 extra drinks and the lady with the long blonde hair, female staff member, was speaking to him with such short patience it made it very awkward. I believe the female staff member was asking him for a coffee saucer but because he didn’t quite grasp what she said the first time she snapped at him and he was very apologetic. Very sharpe with him and from my perspective awkward and unprofessional. Additionally, my colleague is coeliac and only consumes soya milk and my colleague informed me that they only do cows milk and oat milk. Whether they were out of stock on the day I am unsure but this is twice we haven’t had soya milk as an option.

It's really good, and the portion is pretty big.

Excellent Place with separate seatings for people with Laptops upstairs while the regular chit chats on ground floor. I am quite particular about my coffee. Coffee ( Americano ) 9/10 Date Cake 8.8/10 Ambiance 9/10 Overall excellent coffee place for a catchup 👌

Great Coffee. Pleasing natural light interior. Great stuff. 👍

Best coffee in Notts! The cardamom bun & breakfasts are also fantastic.

Great food (loads of gluten free options) and coffee, served by very friendly staff and on a warm sunny day the outside seating almost feels like being on the continent

Friendly staff, great quality coffee and a nice selection of sweet treats. Cosy table layout with a modern aesthetic.

Delicious food and coffee, but completely inappropriate to have a staff meeting in front of customers. The manager came across terribly and I would not return due to the way she spoke to staff in front of customers.

We ordered coffee and hot chocolate. No excitement.

Ate breakfast this morning. Smashed advacado and eggs. Lovely. Great coffee. Lady behind counter welcoming and kind. Would recommend. Thank you.

Having purchased two drinks, told that I was not allowed to sit on the tables located downstairs, despite the total lack of any customers. I was giving the place another go having had terrible food on a few occasions but found the coffee to be passable. I totally understand the need for the tables to be for customers when it is busy, but a modicum of common sense could have avoided my latest poor experience, then again maybe it’s my fault for trying again.

Located in the high street of Beeston right near Sainsbury’s supermarket. Food & coffee were really good & it’s a cozy place to meet up with friends. Would definitely go back for ☕️ & 🍽️

Before I moved away for about 10 years, this was one of my preferred haunts. It used to be "The Bean". I saw all the 5-star reviews and wondered what's happened since it changed hands. OK new decor, more tables outside, but I guess that's the Covid effect. Food looks nice (didn't have any). BUT.. the coffee was a shock. So bitter. Nothing like it used to be. I checked the 1-star reviews and found that I'm not the only one to note this. I guess its prob OK if you have milk. The trouble is that I look forward to the excitement of a coffee arriving, but the idea of another one of these on its way fills me with dread. Hmmmm! Fake 5-star reviews? So, no, I won't be back. So sad.

Disappointed with the service, disappointed with the rancid butter you served my wife for her toast and im disappointed that when I told your staff, they said sorry but we can’t refund you but we can offer a free drink. First time and last time for me.

For the price the Hash is very good, however, a massive let down by the pancake as it feels wet and mushy in the middle. Upstairs is a bit cramp but overall would return for the Hash and coffee!

Excellent espresso and affogato, cappuccino not so good Grave disappointment compared with Cartwheel Coffee in the city centre (depressing to see it closed).

The best cafe in beeston. Excellent food, always hot and lots of it. Great staff . Been coming here since it opened, wouldnt go anywhere else

Great service. Nice surrounding. Wonderful scrambled eggs on rye. Very good pour over coffee

Great vegetarian options and really good tea. Nice plays for getting some work done on your laptop

Great coffee and food. Will come again :)

Lovely mocha! It was an ideal place to meet a new friend

Beautiful atmosphere with lovely and friendly staff. The food and drinks were incredible too with a lovely choice of teas! I had the roast vegetable hash and it was absolutely amazing!!

I've visited this cafe multiple times before, but won't be returning. Last time I visited, I was horrified to hear a staff member (who I believe is the owner/manager) opining that homosexuality was a sin in the eyes of God. He was berating another member of staff for disagreeing with his view. This was happening loudly at the counter, and at length, and I'm sure I wasn't the only customer who heard it. As a member of the LGBT+ community I will not be going back to this cafe, and would recommend that fellow queers and allies avoid it as well. There are plenty of other lovely cafes in Beeston that actually want our custom.

Had the pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. Very good sized portion and tasty. Quick service. Lovely relaxed atmosphere

Great space, great coffee, great food.

Had cappuccino and apple cake which was ordered and paid for at the counter before sitting down. The cake was large, tasty and cheap compared to other cafes in the area. The cafe also serves panini looking sandwiches with what looks like potato wedges. They looked good. There is seating upstairs too.

Sells cheap food for expensive prices like cheap sausages and bacon you get from tesco for 1 pound and charges u more scammers staff are ignorent one of the worse places to go

One of my favourite coffee spots in my neighbourhood. Great coffee and good food are fairly priced. The staff are friendly, and dogs are welcome (downstairs).

Just been in to the Beeston branch. We both had brunch that tasted lovely and was well presented. Unfortunately what let it down was a member of staff, which we assumed was on her lunch break leaving one member of staff to cover the entire cafe on his own, at the busiest time of day. Fortunately for him he handled it to the best of his ability, trying to juggle serving customers, making drinks, running drinks, running food and clearing tables (over 2 floors). We appreciate the other member of staff seemed to be on her lunch break (sat outside vaping) but not only was she in sight of customers (which is highly unprofessional), she was also ignoring how busy the cafe was getting. For a small independent business you would hope that providing excellent service would be their highest priority. This may sometimes include juggling lunches and stepping in when the business needs your help, to maintain your reputation and high quality service. Or alternatively staffing correctly.

I'm very fussy where I eat and first sight I thought a bit basic in side but wow it was very clean and food marvellous had a jacket potatoe excellent size and partner had a omelette and chips and again marvellous will rather go here than witherspoons faster service and better quality of food.

Coffee and cake lovely but would have been nice to receive just 1 please or thankyou. Must be another new world thing! 🤷🏼‍♂️

Lovely coffee relaxed atmosphere, in my opinion it's the staff that make this different to all the other coffee shops in Beeston, they are such a lovely bunch of people.

Very tasty, cozy, a very nice start to the day!

Favourite place for coffee in Beeston, also their pancakes are fantastic (and huge) Definitely worth popping in

Has a nice vibe to it but their coffee is extremely bitter. Kind of disappointed as it would have easily be my go to coffee shop in the area.

Food is amazing, would recommend any of the baked items or the foaccica. Coffee is also great. Nice chilled vibe and dog friendly.

Great coffee and food. Friendly staff and quick service. Nice atmosphere and decoration. Always busy but never had any major issues getting a table when we wanted one, seems to be plenty of seats inside and out.

Excellent and always reliable coffee! Great brunch spot 👌

I sat outside and had two nice coffees. Friendly staff and a warm and relaxing atmosphere, especially when the sun came out!

Absolutely incredibly lovely staff here! The people running this place really know what they’re doing!

Great coffee, friendly service very tasty cake (olive oil)

I’v been staying in Beeston for about a week with a family that doesn’t drink coffee so every morning Iv walked here for my hit. I love this place. The staff are lovely, the coffee beans are experimental (so order carefully) but I loved every one I tried. I live in London so I’m used to pretty good coffee shops but this is the first time iv felt compelled to leave a review. I recommend any coffee fan to try the different pour-overs and soak up the vibes in this place if you find yourself in Beeston. As for the few negative reviews on here: the wait is relatively long. It’s not Pret or Starbucks times but that’s because it’s not attempting to provide the same service. The coffee here is the main event and the process is beautiful, a little long, but worth the wait. the staff arnt forgetting about your order if you watch them they are just making sure each product is top quality. Also the claim that the coffee is ‘weak’ or too bitter is also nonsense. They seem to stick to light to medium roasts so the taste isn’t overpowering but that doesn’t mean it’s weak. These are proper coffees that left me with that alert and relaxed feeling quality coffee gives. That being said, think before you order. If one of the pour overs is fermented with white wine but you just want a normal coffee then look at the other options. If you like your coffee strong and it’s a light roast you get an espresso. I’m convinced the few people complaining about the coffee wanted to go to pret and were disappointed with a better experience.

Fab independent coffee shop miles better than the chains

Disappointed. Ignored when we walked in and then told (incorrectly) that the kitchen didn’t open until 9.30am (actually it was 10am so we left without eating). £3.75 to add a slice of bacon is daylight robbery.

Lovely food (had bacon on rosemary foccacia with roast cubed potatoes, plus coffee) and sat upstairs with my laptop. Free wifi and accessible plug sockets (see photo). In the heart of Beeston shopping street. Would visit again.

The pancake is so good, must to visit again!

Fantastic cafe. Lovely food and service. Sockets upstairs available for laptops to get some work done.

I was recommended to visit, so am glad I did. Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. Good table size to work. Clean and tidy. When I return to Nottingham, I’ll be sure to revisit. Meanwhile, will be recommending to my clients, whom I have just secured a home in Beeston from overseas.

Great little coffee shop , lovely staff , seating outside as well as 2 floors inside , lovely food and great coffee

Thought I hated mushroom soup until I tried this one - absolutely delicious!!!

We have been a few times over the years and have been very happy with the food & service. On our last visit a fortnight ago, we ordered 3 meals. Having waited patiently for 40 mins, I politely asked where our food was. We received accusing looks and glares from all the staff. In the absence of any explanation, we could only assume the meals had been taken to the wrong table. The staff were unapologetic and standoffish. We received a very muted & forced 'sorry' from the owner after waiting another 20 mins for our food. It was obvious we hadn't cleared 3 plates & hidden the dirty cutlery & crockery to bag three more free meals. It was obvious we were now starving, as we eagerly polished off our grub in record time. It was clear we hadn't secretly scoffed our meals previously and miraculously hidden the used cutlery & crockery to bag a free second meal. The staff simply ignored us and blindsided our table. We have always been polite and have always tipped generously in the past. But I doubt we will be back. Mistakes happen, but they are so easily rectified.

The seats were not comfortable at all but the service and atmosphere and coffee is great

You're spoilt for choice for brunch in Beeston but we really like Cartwheel, the coffee is excellent and the food while slightly more expensive than some other places is fab and generously portioned.

We had coffee ☕ & cake for our family. The staff were very friendly for us. We had a good time for a hour. 🤓😇

Good coffee, food and cakes! Decent size portions. Staff seem happy and friendly.

1 word. AMAZING. Massive portions and very very tasty. Recommend to people who like food and value for money

Fantastic coffee, lovely attentive staff and good brunch options food wise, 10/10. the young woman with glasses is particularly excellent even when things are very busy.

We go here at least twice a week for lunch,best cafe in beeston,great food ,lovely staff,good prices .

I love this place. Relaxing environment and the staff are always really welcoming. The food is fantastic, I went for the Sausage Focaccia which is one of those meals you don't want to end. The selection of cakes and pastries is divine especially the Hazelnut Brownie. Tea is provided in elegant and unique pots and cups. All in all a lovely place. Can highly recommend.

Nice food, chorizo hash and sausage sandwich was lovely, good coffee and service was v good. Recommended.

Very nice coffee spoiled by being served by a rude staff member. Shop opens at 8am and we arrived a a minute before. Was told “you’re a bit early aren’t you?” and that he should have “left the door on latch” so we couldn’t get in. Made worse by the fact he was serving two other people before we arrived. A shame as we like to support local businesses and staff here are usually friendly.

Nice atmosphere but I did not like my coffee here. It was served cold and bitter (I ordered cappuccino but it came in a small sized coffee cup). Could not drink at all. Sorry but I probably will not visit again

I came by myself often when I can work from home. Chilled place, friendly staff, the perfect environment for chilled afternoon working or reading. Only cons: prices slightly too high.

Outstanding everything. Service (mainly youngsters being exceptionally professional and kind whilst very busy), coffee (£2.90) and food. I had the chorizo hash (£11.50) which was delicious. But equally, everything else that went by looked equally good!

Nice coffee, and very kind staff! Warm and welcoming place.

My first time at this cafe. Tried the pina colada/melon pourover coffee. Really enjoyed my coffee! Lovely ambience, friendly staff, nice coffee. Will definitely recommend and will come again ❤️

Very busy. They forgot the salami sandwich I had ordered and needed to be reminded. But when I eventually got it, it was delicious

Great choice and well prepared food .

perfect place to meet friends for a chat over coffee or just to do some work!

Stopped in for a coffee. Had breakfast too. Both were lovely. Cartwheel is a nice find. Independent. Friendly. And great quality.

Brilliant service, nice friendly staff, top tier speciality coffee, great food, snazzy looking interior. The coffee beans you can buy here are the best ive found anywhere in the area. Highly recommend a visit.

Good coffee is definitely served here! Great place to do a little bit of work while having some food/ coffee.

Everything from here has been 10/10

We were there on a Saturday afternoon so it was quite busy but the staff were very lovely and service was super quick! Coffee was great and the food was awesome - I'll definitely be back soon!

The interior is well-lit and there is an upstairs laptop space along with the brunch-restaurant style ground floor. There's also a covered area out front to make the most of good weather. The location is off road which makes it quieter than other cafes. There is a wonderful range of speciality coffees to choose from and a unique hot chocolate blend made each morning. My only critism is that, though the upstairs is 'laptop zone', it gets fairly noisy which makes it unreliable.

Hands down the best cafe in Nottingham. I’ve been going here for 4 years now and it’s never disappointed me. I recommend the Misspent Youth beans if you like to brew your own coffee at home.

Excellent coffee, one of the best I tried in Nottingham

Staff very friendly and helpful. Can't praise them enough...

The coffee was beautiful the only things that could have made it better would be larger sizes as i could easily drink two of them.

Nice cafe to visit.. But I thought it was expensive the cakes especially.. Very nice coffee ..

This place is so underrated! Came here for a coffee and some food on a lazy Sunday. I got the sausage ciabbatta with roasted potatoes. I thought £9 was quite pricy but gosh darn was it worth it. The food was incredible and the portion size was huge! Felt like I'd been transported to America! Cute little atmosphere but with plenty of seats upstairs

Wonderful ambience; great tea and food. Simple yet powerful decor. Toilets are exceptionally clean and tidy. 3 hour free parking at Sainsburys for a short walk down. Will come again !

Lovely staff, great coffee and wonderful atmosphere.

The food here is amazing, and the coffee is excellent. I was very excited to share the experience with friends, and was disappointed to learn the kitchen didn’t open until 9.30! Which is a little bit late for a weekday breakfast! With seating limited, there is little pay off for being and early bird at Cartwheel. Still would recommend the French toast and espresso, but only if you want to start your day at 10am… brunch! Not breakfast!

I feel guilty for drinking here because I’m a true Greenhoods OG but it’s really great. I’ve come to terms with the fact Beeston can have two great independent coffee joints and I don’t feel torn. No more coffee snobbery. Lovely little selection of brunches here actually give it a more of a lunch spot vibe that just coffee.

Oct 2022 Love this place. Food is always good. See pics July 2022 Loved the food and portions are huge!!

Great food and drink (many types of tea!) And relaxed, friendly atmosphere

Love the aesthetic of this place and the coffee is superb! Really friendly and informative staff as well:)

All day pour overs and cinnamon buns 😋

Quick service we sat outside in the heated seating area. Plenty of parking nearby (Sainsbury's)

Had a great cappuccino and very tasty focaccia with bacon and tomato for a light lunch. Nice and airy café on a pedestrian-only street. A few tables outside as well to watch people go by - but too chilly for me today at 12C. Oh, and very pleasant, helpful staff.

Coffee and hot chocolate flat cold, flavour was ok. Didn't have the time or inclination to complain as waiting to attend doctor's appointment. Shame as we won't be back.

Great coffee, fantastic food, lovely staff. Baby friendly and a good selection of sweet treats. Try it!

Good spot, we had an oat milk latte. Could have been hotter though we like to take our time over a coffee.

Good coffee and great buns on Friday and Sat. Have had mixed experiences with the food. Sometimes great sometimes not so much.

Lovely welcome and great coffee. The food was also delicious! Most importantly to me, this was a welcoming environment for a gender non-conforming person. Very accepting and friendly, I'll be back again!

Lovely little coffee shop in the heart of Beeston with outdoor seating. Great coffee and lovely cake.
