Cup a Cha in Stafford

Went to Cup a Cha for afternoon tea for two. It was delicious! Three tiers of taste heaven! From sandwiches, to pork pies, scotch eggs and cheese and crackers to battenberg cake with scones! The food was so tasty and plentiful. The food was complimented with tea, coffee and iced water. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and provided a tentative service. I would highly recommend you will not be disappointed! Also the ambience and decor is very unique. 10/10

A real traditional tea shop, locally run but lovely people.

Lovely cafe, went in for lunch today with my partner, the staff were really friendly and managed to get the last table available. The food was delicious I had the toasted club sandwich which came with plenty of salad! It is great to see an independent cafe doing well in Stafford !!

It was a nice place to go and have something to eat for lunch with my wife and i would reccommend this place to anyone who is shopping in stafford and we will come and have something to eat here again. The staff are nice and friendly and helpful as well.

Thank you for feeding the FollowApp Care team!!

Lovely staff, food and it's affordable too

We enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea for 6 last week. Great portions and service. We’ll definitely be going back.

What a total gem of a place, that serves an incredibly delicious afternoon tea. Our party of 6 yesterday really enjoyed the whole experience. Highly recommend.

Lovely place, lovely people, very nice food!!!! Good quality, 10/10 service at a very reasonable price. Even though we were past closing time, they very kindly let us have some tea and cakes. Would recommend this place !!!!

Amazing atmosphere with staff who really care.

me and my friend always come here!!! great food and drinks, and even when it's busy we always manage to get seats :D especially love their cream teas, but on this visit we got the salted caramel and chocolate milkshakes, really good!! can't recommend this place enough :) great food, atmosphere and friendly staff!!

It was absolutely brilliant afternoon tea for the 5 of us. Amazing service. The only downside was we had checked the online menu, and this said one price, then we were charged another, so the online menu needs updating.

It’s lovely and only being a kid there is lots of food options for me and lovely drinks thanks for the experience

A wonderfull place, I come here with my friendship group and the staff are very kind and give a warming experience. I would definitely recommend this place. I also came here for my nans birthday and they made her experience special so a thank you to the staff again :)

Lovely friendly staff deffently recommend. Man that service us great. Didn't have food but did look nice. Deffently will go again. Been back nearly every month we had food a few times great every time. Staff always so kind and friendly that's why we go there every month for a meet up.

Absolutely wonderful! Very, very tasty and extremely friendly 😊 The decorations are quite English. We were walk-ins, but from what I gathered, making a reservation is recommended.

Lovely place, great food and cakes and excellent service ! Place is well managed and immaculate

We were looking for a place for a drink and a snack that wasn't a chain coffee bar or suchlike, a small local independent place, and we found one. Many people who are obsessed with the royal family and love cakes and afternoon tea will absolutely love the over-the-top-ness of the place, but to me it was like wandering into a parallel universe! The scone I opted for came drenched in sugar, which I was taken aback by - never ever seen that before - but when I mentioned it, straightaway it was replaced with another without sugar, but I've had better. The quantity of cream and jam was very generous, perhaps too much so for the size of the scone. But the Americano coffee I had was excellent. My wife was very disappointed with her lemon drizzle cake and she didn't realise that the soft drink she was given was a low-sugar one, which is not what she wanted. Some'll love Cup A Cha, but it's not for me.

Fantastic high tea in a lovely quirky royal mad palace 👏 Will definitely be returning for more tea and cake. Returned again, and it was just as good 👍

Needed a cuppa on long drive to Birmingham. Stopped off here in Stafford and found Cup of Cha. Husband had bacon and sausage sandwich and I had a teacake. Both were tasty.. The tea came in a lovely pot with proper China cups n saucers. Only way tea should be served in my opinion. Theme was the Royals. Had a table set out for afternoon tea. Beautiful little setup and prices were very reasonable.. Very clean and tidy.. highly recommend 👌

Lovely tearoom reasonably priced too

Wonderful,wonderful place to visit.First class food and great service.Thank you guys!

Went here on Tuesday for afternoon tea We had one Duke and one duchess All the food was excellent as was the staff Lots of food and good quality aswel If we are around stafford again we will definitely be popping into here

Good food and a nice coffee, nicely set up for the day

We have just had a jacket potato and the service was second to none. I made a error on the order and they rectified it for me too. Lovely, clean and friendly staff highly recommended to visit.

Well, this is one of the UK's hidden gems. In the heart of Stafford Town Centre. This cream tea of the royalty portion is a dining delight, The decor is all based on our royal family, and every time, I have been spot something different to gaze at. On arrival, I was met with an awesome smile by our hosts. The great menu is vast and exciting. From Beakfast to afternoon full English Cream Teas, on receiving our food, it was well presented, I went for the lunchtime menu Royal Special, which consists of Sandwiches, and salad garnish, Cake and my favourite a piping hot coffee. All of your own choice from the vast range on display, everything is freshly prepared and served by a really polite and courteous member of the team. Well, to my surprise and tantalising taste buds my food was gorgeous. And believe me, I don't say that in jest, it's fit for a king and queen. This is a Royal delight and worthy of a gastronomic Mitchlin star, its got to be one of the best eateries in the UK 🇬🇧 or possibly in the world. I've go back every time I'm in the Area for leisure or business. It's well worth the visit and absolutely worth booking for the dining room at all costs, but it also is a walkin tearooms.

Lovely atmosphere and not badly priced,

Amazing little café. quintessentially British and twee. cakes are divine and the service is exceptional. always go here when i get the chance

Wonderful cafe! Customer service is like no other, not had such a lovely experience in years! Hats off the staff, really know how to treat their customers! Food and drink were spot on too. Will definitely be visiting again soon!

Fantastic busy time but offered a table and served quickly. Lovely surroundings

Great little café, friendly staff and great atmosphere. Loved the homemade soup and the club sandwich was very nice 😋

My husband and I would highly recommend Cup A Cha, as part of our Golden Wedding Anniversary we had a private hire for 27 people. It was beyond excellent! The afternoon tea was spectacular all of our guests were impressed with the beautiful venue, the food and the service! If you have a special event speak to Amy! She works with your needs and requirements!

Visited a few times before the food is lovely excellent friendly service in quirky Royal family theme king Charles looks over us all will visit soon

Excellent 👍 it's always a warm welcome.

Went in today for a cup of coffee and dotn get me wrong the venue and food and drink but wow the guy with the beard what an arrogant person I asked for a table for 3 and he basically ordered us to the table near the window I thought you could pick where you sit not be told by a headmaster where to sit made us feel like being back at school then the food and drinks were brought over by a lovely lady with ginger hair very polite and amazing food and drinks but the guy with the beard needs to work on his customer services skills a bit will avoid when he is on again

Lovely tea and breakfast this morning! Support independents!

We had a lovely time at Cup a Cha. The service was outstanding and very allergen friendly! They checked the bread for my daughter who is dairy and soya free and also used a separate chopping board and knife to avoid any contamination. They asked if we wanted them to cut the children’s sandwiches into four too which was really thoughtful. We hadn’t realised there was a kids menu but still very reasonably priced ordering from the adults menu for them. The only downside I found with the food was the sausages as they were not really to my taste (and looked like the ones you’d get somewhere a bit cheaper!) but other than that the food was very nice. Loved the royalist feel and looking at all the pictures. Would recommend to others.

This is a very unique cafe great food great staff great atmosphere I will be trying their afternoon tea tomorrow and breakfast unfortunately they stop serving breakfast at 11 so today I had a pot of tea and a soup that was out of this world.

Lovely quirky tea shop full to the brim with memorabilia. I will definitely try the food on my next visit.

Strange place to sit with all the royal stuff in your face but very nice still. Good selection of cha but all tea bags and not loose tea 😔 Cake was good.

Myself and a friend had afternoon tea and it was delicious!!! A lovely warm welcome was received and such a lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Very nice staff food was excellent

Lovely cake and tea. Royal theme!

What an absolute little gem! We were in Stafford as were due to be on. Hot air balloon ride but it was cancelled due to weather, hotel was booked so we still visited for the night and made a day of it. We stumbled on a cup of cha and I am so very glad we did! Staff were helpful and welcoming, they had their regulars and knew their orders straight away! We were welcomed, ordered breakfast and 2 teas. Husband was very happy with the size of the teapot and with it being an authentic pot. Breakfast was perfect delicious, portion size, hot and did i mention yummy! We’ve already said we will come back when we reschedule the flight! If needing to find somewhere to park, use B&M carpark it’s across the road and save you driving around the ring road. Just lovely!

Fantastic afternoon tea yesterday for my fab sister. It was so so lovely thanks to Amy and Kris for everything ❤️

Booked the room outside of operating hours here (on a Saturday evening 5:45-8pm). Paid £26.95pp, the food was lovely and tasty so absolutely no complaints enjoyed everything. Service was also good. The place itself is very nice and clean. Only reason I rated food a 4 is because as nice as it is I don’t know if it was worth £26.95 each.

Went in for lunch with a friend and the it was lovely. The staff were really friendly and knowledgeable, which is important in small cafes like this. I had a club sandwich, which was perfectly made and the cake I had was very fresh and tasted great. Definitely worth a look if you're in the area for a quick afternoon tea!

Following the reviews i thought i would try here for breakfast. Friendly attentive staff, great value for money. In a nice relaxed atmosphere. I would definitely come back if in the area.

Popped in to Cup a Cha Stafford last Saturday for a quick coffee. What a delightful place it is 🥰 looking around the rooms at all of the Royal memorabilia, which beautifully decorates this lovely tearoom, could keep you busy for a while. We decided to have a cream tea as it was too nice to dash off quickly. The lovely, relaxed ambience clearly makes this place a popular venue, as we managed to get the last available table around midday. This tearoom provides a cheerful and very comfortable feel and is a great place to pop in to for a cuppa, to meet with friends or even book a larger party as there is plenty of space with lots of tables. There is a separate room which was set up for a large party, again, decorated beautifully. The cream teas were amazingly generous, with little pots of delicious jam and oodles of lush fresh cream accompanied by a couple of butter pats. We were served the freshest, warm scones and a hot chocolate and a cup of breakfast tea. Everything was served perfectly to our table in a cute teapot, individually patterned cups & saucers and plates. The staff were awesome, checking that all was ok with our order, pleasantly welcoming in their other customers as they arrived and checking on everyone who’d arrived before us. The place was absolutely spotless and beautifully presented. I will definitely be returning and I’d highly recommend others to visit for a delicious treat. Cakes and other items of the food, such as sandwich fillings, they serve are displayed clearly in their display cabinets which again, are spotlessly clean. The food looks and tasted delicious and was certainly as fresh as could be. What a treasure of a find, right on our doorstep. The nicest tearoom I’ve visited in quite some time. It’s 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me. Many thanks 😊

Well what a little gem! We’ve lived in Stafford for 8 years now and have frequently passed this cafe. Yesterday we decided to give it a go with our family 4 adults, 1 fussy teenager and my 10 year old son. The food was tasty, reasonably priced, good portion sizes and very well presented. What makes this cafe so lovely is the staff! We found them all to be attentive( without being over the top) welcoming and super friendly. If you find yourself in Stafford and thirsty or hungry I would definitely recommend this little cafe over any Costa or Starbucks in the town. Thank you for a lovely chilled out experience and the recommendation to try the banoffee cake! 😉❤️😋

Our favourite breakfast place! It's the royal cafe and it's amazing, they welcome everyone and are amazing staff with great personality! The foods are amazing and hold great evenings! Definitely worth a trip!

It is a quality establishment in every way. First of all, the menu. There is a wide choice for breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea 🫖 The products are quality and fresh, the cooking is perfect and the orders are delivered on beautiful plates. The prices are very fair and very competitive. The service is relatively fast even if there are a lot of customers and is carried out by smiling and competent staff. Impeccably clean. The decor is magnificent, themed around the British royal family. Lots of objects from different periods as well as photos and press articles. Personally I find this mixture of refinements and extravagance and this respectful homage magnificent. It is a quality establishment in every way. First of all, the menu.

Great homemade cakes and freshly made meals. A great atmosphere and warm welcome. Spotlessly clean, the staff are happy and efficient I would fully recommend

Magical place and amazing The experience is really fabulous and highly recommend to family and friends.

Fabulous experience and magical gem in our town. Would highly recommend to family and friends.

Excellent tea rooms which is very original and quaint.So much to see in there. Amy & the Staff are so friendly and I will certainly be returning. Forget Costa and Starbucks, places like this need to be supported and the most important thing the food, cakes and drinks were excellent and lush

Brilliant cafe. Lovely food and reasonable prices.

I had walked past this place loads of times and today I decided to pop in I wish I had popped in before today. Upon entering we were greeted by a very welcoming and friendly member of staff who said sit anywhere and passed the menu's over and said order at the counter when you are ready. Three of us had cakes and my other daughter had beans on toast. Realky great portion size a proper slice of cake. The cafe is decorated really nice in all things royal family. We will definitely be recommending this place and will definitely be back

Their afternoon tea is absolutely delicious. I booked the Duchess. Everything was fresh and tasty. The service was outstanding. Smiles from all those that worked there. Highly recommended.

Very reasonably priced food. Lovely atmosphere in unique surroundings. Well worth a visit!

Lovely lunch in there and very good service.. will be going back

Fantastic tea room, with a variety of choices for lunchtimes, food is gorgeous and the staff are absolutely brilliant. Staff are pleasant, well mannered, friendly and so helpful. Excellent customer service! Excellent food! My friend comes down from Runcorn once a year and she absolutely loves the Royal Family. Visited last year and of course with her loving the Royals it was a visit again this year. Cannot fault this fantastic tearoom and would highly recommend a visit if you have never been - you won't be disappointed

One of the best breakfasts I’ve had! Cooked fresh and really tasty and we were so full afterwards. The staff are really friendly and it’s a lovely, quirky little place. Highly recommend a visit!

We visited for a birthday afternoon tea and had a fantastic time! A wide variety of drinks were available upon arrival and we had a lovely tomato and basil soup shot for a 'starter'. Afternoon tea for two consisted of generously filled sandwiches made from fantastic quality ingredients, salad, crisps, petit fours, scones and cakes. Very generous servings too! The staff are lovely and nothing was too much trouble. The price is so reasonable for what you get too. Cup a Cha's rating as the top restaurant in Stafford is well deserved. We look forward to our next visit. Thank you!

We dropped in for high tea with our family of six, looking for the authentic British experience before we left England. We are so glad we did - it was fantastic! The food was delicious and the proprietor was extremely friendly. This whole experience made our day - don’t miss this place!

Great independent tea shop. We had filled baguettes, made to order and absolutely perfect. Amazing collection of royal memorabilia to peruse while we waited.

Excellent food well worth the money. Very friendly.

Wonderful place and atmosphere, the staff are so friendly!! And nothing is ever too much trouble, will definitely be back!

Cheese on toast - exceptional Coffee - lovely

We love Cup a Cha we go regularly, the food is delicious and the staff are great really helpful and friendly.

Visited today for my aunts 80th birthday, we both had the duchess afternoon tea and it was delicious. She was so impressed, she had recently had one in London and was blown away by the difference and quality at cup a cha to that!

Fantastic service as always, gorgeous food, gorgeous coffee 👌👌

Excellent afternoon tea and thoroughly enjoyed. Lovely staff and very fair prices.

Really nice breakfast, surrounded by all things royal, served by two very friendly staff, highly recommended 👍

Had 'full English' breakfast. Only scrambled egg available as no facilities. Sausages and bacon were anaemic and bland, microwaved scrambled egg and beans were bland too. No hash brown, mushroom or black pudding available. Toast was nice and plenty of butter. Place was ok but certainly won't go back for beakfast particularly at the price.

Mediocre at best. Underwhelming, wouldn't visit again

Travelled by train to visit Stafford and especially to see Cup of Cha as saw it featured coronation week on the This Morning programme. It was fantastic!! Friendly and helpful staff. Amazing royal decor and brilliant menu. Only wished I had taken a photo of...

Cup a cha is fantastic and very beautiful.

Fantastic time, with afternoon tea and flower arranging. Perfect setting with amazing food, the staff couldn't do enough for everyone. Such a lovely atmosphere, would recommend attending their next event.

Had a wonderful afternoon tea here. The sandwiches were fresh and delicious as were the cakes. Everything was beautifully presented and the staff were very attentive. The actual cafe was very busy (which is a fantastic sign of its quality) but it did mean it got a little noisy etc (totally beyond the owners control and didn't spoil my experience) but if you were looking for somewhere quiet it may be worth checking with the owners for their quieter times.

It's a beautiful cafe with all the beautiful pictures . Had a breakfast. There were lots of beans and tomatoes , bacon was overcooked for me, and only scrambled egg was available . and wasn't very warm. And it took a while to get the food looked like short staff. They were very sorry, which was nice . The staff was attentive and friendly .

I pre booked an afternoon tea for myself and my daughters. It was everything we could have wanted and more. The selection of cakes and sandwiches was light and delicious. The drinks were fruity and decaffeinated, so lovely. Service was friendly, attentive and always with...

Visited today for Royal Afternoon Tea quirky decor comfortable and very clean our Afternoon tea was beautifully presented very fresh and tasty amazing value for money Staff were amazing from calling to book to hosting when we arrived throughly enjoyed ourselves will definitely return 😀

Lovely place, great theme. Staff were very pleasant. I had a full English breakfast, and it was nice apart from the scrambled eggs. They had been microwaved and were overcooked. I would still recommend a visit. The menu had plenty of choice, and I've heard the afternoon teas are to die for 😊

Absolutely fave place for lunch, breakfast or afternoon tea in Stafford. Been in today and again it was a lovely experience from the owner Amy. Whenever she is on we have always felt welcome (even with little ones) and she always goes the extra mile for anyone that walks through the door. The food as always, was amazing, the sausage and bacon sandwiches are beautiful, and my daughter had a milkshake which she states was the best ever(!). It's just lovely all round and I would recommend a visit to anyone xx

Went in today for the first time, definitely won't be the last. Staff were friendly, food was tasty and the cake was divine 😋

Lovely place went here with my wife and daughter for a spot of lunch couldn't fault it staff are so friendly and the food was great good selection on menu we noticed a few people having afternoon tea they looked Really good 👍

Fantastic food,lovely atmosphere and friendly service highly recommended
