Coffee Maison in Leicester

If this place was bigger, it somehow just wouldn't work (maybe it will but I like the chic nature of it!). Literally a tiny bakery, churning out great treats. I come here on occasion specifically to gather up a handful of vegan treats for my other half whom is lactose intolerant - and there is a serious lack of good quality nice tasting bakeries that cater for this - vegan cupcakes get boring. Their stuff is inventive, tastes great (and I eat the same treats myself), they have a great Insta presence showcasing the specials (of which I always miss - be warned to queue on a Saturday morning!) and whilst my only bad point is missing out on special lines as I'm there too late, I kinda like the exclusivity feeling and the non-production line nature of it - like a throwback to the older days. If you want the merch, get up early and go get it while you can. Stepping in and seeing the pricing of the goodies does halt you in your step for a split-second - however, stepping out of their bubble and remembering what chain coffee stores charge for their treats (which don't even compare as they're all bought-in products - which mean shelf-life and lots of unnecessary ingredients too) - their prices are actually very reasonable for their small production batches of what they make. It means my partner can enjoy some very innovative treats that she otherwise wouldn't be able to (without a tummy ache) and I do feel their ingredient quality tells the story, especially when fruit is involved in the treat. Service wise, can't fault it. Go in, smiles all round, select your treats, it gets boxed up nicely for you, pay, and get out. No faff (unless awaiting a coffee). Everyone there is fully clued up on the ingredients/allergens of the treats. Been picking something up here now for over 7 years on odd occasion - and watching the popularity of the bakery soar - used to visit a client directly opposite often in 2018. If I lived closer I'd probably have a tab with them - but definitely think living over 6 miles away is good thing for us - my missus especially!

Great food, lovely service just what you need to start your day! X

It is a cozy café with a pleasant atmosphere. The syaff are very friendly and professional. I recommend their gravy potato dish, and their hot drinks like hot chocolate. It is very comfortable for you to seat and do your stuff on laptop or have a chat with your colleagues.

A very warm and welcoming place , staff are always polite and are willing to go the extra mile in order to satisfy all coustomers, There is a range of tasty dishes on the menu , we would reccomend scampi and chips or the full english breakfast. Extremely good value . and very clean

It was the first time I had been. I went with the women in the family 🥳 It was great from start to finish. Food was lovely, I had the beef brisket Yorkie, chicken and stuffing roulade and then the set dessert was a profiterole and cheesecake. We did music bingo which was fantastic. The presenter was funny and engaging. The staff came pretty quick when requesting drinks and they played good music. Great night, would recommend
