Gilberts Kitchen & Deli in Derby

Liz made my son a fabulous 21st birthday cake! Stunningly decorated and tasted absolutely delicious!

What a gem of a place! Fantastic food, super friendly service. My pics speak volumes! Not to be missed 😀

The cafe was busy on a rainy Monday morning, and I could see why. Excellent tea, made from loose leaves rather than tea bags and an excellent full English breakfast made from quality ingredients soon made me feel better about the world. The cakes looked great too, though trying one will need to wait until my next visit which will be soon

The most Special birthday breakfast with my family. We were seated in the garden under a gazebo. Food was fresh, tasty, beautifully presented and the birthday cake was gorgeous. Lovely friendly staff. Certainly becoming a birthday tradition. Made my day 🥳🎉

I went to Gilbert’s to catch up with a friend after 2 years due to covid. We booked the afternoon tea & it was perfect from booking to end. When booking gave likes and dislikes and so happy to accommodate. The food was delicious and fresh it was perfect. So many cakes we couldn’t eat - but packed for us to take away for later. Definitely would recommend to everyone.

Birthday breakfast for my Husband. Food was delicious and the Birthday platter went down a treat. They even provided his favourite cake. Cracking place, friendly staff. Will make it a family Birthday tradition now. Thankyou

Lovely cooked food by a very talented chef . Highly recommended . So lucky to have this gem so local

Just enjoyed a Mediterranean deli-box from Gilbert's. Absolutely spot on, but I guess that didn't come as a surprise really - will certainly look to do it again. Look forward to ring it on a nice summer evening. Thanks to Paul & Liz yet again - Karen & Steve

Booked a table for family breakfast for my Daughters birthday. Food and service was amazing. Daughter is fussy and was told to just order what she wanted and they would adapt it for her. Food was delicious. We even had a room upstairs to ourself. They even presented my Daughter with a birthday treat. My only regret is that I haven't been before. Fantastic food, lovely friendly staff. Will be back. Thankyou

I've visited this place a few times and enjoyed the food and decor but on this visit I was not made welcome. I had been in the cafe for under a minute and not even sat down when I was asked if I was going to eat a meal as I would only be allowed to stay for a maximum of an hour if I wasn't. Given that it was mid-morning and the place was empty of customers I was quite shocked and felt uncomfortable. I was joined by a friend and we ordered some hot drinks and something light to eat. Just before we had been there for an hour we were informed that the table was booked and we would need to leave in a few minutes. There were spare tables and there was no need for us to leave on account of not accommodating customers. I will go elsewhere in future.

Popped to the bank and was looking for a spot of lunch. Few doors down was Gilbert’s Kitchen, was greeted with a smile and offered takeaway or to sit in. I asked for cheese and salad cream, if they had it. Chef came out and said he would look and he had! Nothing too much, came with choice of crisps which were good quality. Coffee was lovely and good size, sandwich was lovely too. All the food looked great and cake was tempting! Would visit again if I’m in the area. Thank you for a nice lunch in nice clean cafe! Had already tucked into sandwich by the time i took photo, can you tell it’s had a few bites! 😂👏

Had an appointment in Littleover and was looking for a brunch spot. Gilbert’s was recommended. Best breakfast I’ve had in ages. Poached egg was perfect, great quality ingredients. Decor is lovely, looks like the outside is a good space (the weather wasn’t great yesterday!). Tables were all spaced well, not sure if that was for Covid or just for privacy but either way, it was welcomed. Lovely place, lovely staff, takeaway cake was also fabulous! We live in Nottingham but it’ll be well worth the drive to return.

We ordered 4 pie and mash takeaway meals for my birthday , two steak and two chicken the quality on all of them was excellent and delicious, no hesitation in recommending Gilbert's and hope to buy more, breakfast cobs pretty good as well

On Saturday evening my wife & I enjoyed another take-away from Gilbert's - the 5th (out of 5 !) we've enjoyed since this second lockdown began. Common factor in these take-aways - all been excellent 😊. This week my wife had beef bourginion while I had sausage casserole - both thoroughly enjoyable. Only regret - we didn't order dessert ! Many thanks to Paul, Liz and everyone involved.

Visited Gilbert's today with an old friend. The staff are extremely friendly and so helpful. The food never disappoints hot delicious and cooked by very talented chefs indeed. I was so impressed I brought a selection of cakes home for my husband. Also want to mention what an excellent job your doing keeping your customer safe in these challenging times keep up the good work.

Been to this establishment many times with our Grandchildren, so we thought we would take up the 50% discount offer from the government what a disappointment, was told there was no food only drinks. So asked for 2 Baby Chino,s and were told no, so ordered 2 small hot chocolates for the Grandchildren 2 large Cappuccino,s for ourselves and a tea for our daughter. The Hot Chocolates came in Large Mugs and were bigger than our Cappuccinos, asked the waitress for brown sugar but told they had none. When paying the bill which came to £13.85 asked was the 50% reduction included, was told it didn't apply as we had not ordered food. Overall customer service was very poor.

First lunch since you were able to open again Lovely pizza and super piece of cake Thank you so much Becky and Bee say thank you too

What a great place! I called in here today while my car was in for a service. A lovely clean, cheerful place with great food & coffee and very friendly staff. I had the Full English which certainly lived up to its name. I'm not from the Mickleover area but I do hope that locals there support this cafe. It's a delight.

We are visiting the area and looked for a local coffee shop and up popped Gilbert’s Kitchen and Deli. It’s not huge but it look like you can book for lunch as a couple of tables were reserved. There are some tables downstairs and some upstairs so if you have mobility issues make sure to say. There was an upstairs loo but not sure if there is one downstairs if needed. My gluten free lemon drizzle cake was moist, lemony with a nice crunchy top. The coffee and tea were both excellent, and the warm Cajun chicken skewers were well presented on a generous salad , and spicy as described! Great food, good service- recommend them! PS And you can even pick up some local eggs too- bonus!

First visit to Gilbert’s and we weren’t disappointed.Lovely atmosphere loved the fresh decor.Great flat white, tea a bit weak for my friends liking but it was a proper cuppa with an infusion teapot.Didn’t eat on this occasion but from what I saw on other tables the food looked very nice.Maybe next time.Only downfall was parking which is a problem anyway in Mickleover

Always a warm welcome and you feel looked after, great for breakfast / lunch and coffees, great for a quick coffee on your own to a family lunch - nice people

Such a lovely friendly place. I called in for a coffee and a read of my magazine. The flat white was perfect. I always have a tap water with my coffee and was given a generously large cool glass. The place itself is light and bright with lovely homely decor. Other customers that came in were lovely and friendly. I found Gilbert's to be a very welcoming place.

Situated where we live in Mickleover it's so convenient for a nice quality lunch with friend.The portion size was just right & also priced ok.The environment is pleasant & the staff are friendly.

Light lunch. A little cool outside. Dishes of lovely mushroom soup accompanied by noggins of very good bread. Two black coffees. Well worth the visit. Staff very friendly and helpful. Will go again

Looks small when you walk in,but there are another two rooms upstairs,we had a nice lunch here,staff were very friendly and service was good.You can also book in advance.

Always a warm welcome awaits you, and the food is exceptional. We have been visiting since they first opened, and have enjoyed our visits greatly each time.They recently catered for my 'big birthday' at home, and the food and service were the best ever. Everyone commented on the quality, as they pride themselves on making everything fresh and on the premises.Keep up the hard work, as it is truly appreciated, and your commitment to your business is to be commended.Thankyou, Paul. Liz and staff for this fab 'little gem' and your ongoing commitment in serving your local community

Nipped in to have a coffee last weekend, all the staff are very polite and helpful. They answered all my questions regarding dietary requirements and were more than helpful to accommodate. The menu is plentiful and the food is delicious. The environment is very relaxing and everyone is so friendly. We will be back again very soon.

Not long eaten so just a coffee break. Two strong black coffees very good. Discovered they had an upstairs. Staff very friendly and helpful. Will go again

Stopped in for a hot coffee after a walk on the old Mickleover for Radbourne railway line.

Gilbert’s is my happy place! The staff are friendly, funny and care about their customers. The food is top quality and plentiful. In the warmer months they have an outdoor space to meet with friends and enjoy gorgeous cakes ( I highly recommend the mars bar cake). In the winter months the place has a snuggly Christmas feel and the even the cups and plates make you feel you have stepped into hidden gem as they are so delicate and fitting. Liz and Paul are great chefs and hosts and treat you like friends whether it’s your first or fifteenth trip! Paige is lovely and is on top of all the orders and always greets you with a smile rembering orders and people’s names. We love this place! X

We enjoyed a recent visit to Gilbert's. I would recommend booking a table if possible as it is a popular cafe. Food and coffee were nicely prepared and served. Good choice of menu on offer for breakfast through to teatime. We will return..

Both me and my Mum are vegetarians, we wanted to try some of their cake so asked if the Lemon cake on offer that day was suitable for vegetarians, the person on the till did not know so went to ask the chef, he came out and explained it to us which was really nice, he had made the cake himself. The cake was beautiful!!

A friendly greeting on arrival, and good, freshly-prepared food on the menu. It's not cheap, but it's good quality. The salad that I ordered wasn't available, but they offered me a lovely-sounding alternative. Unfortunately with the first mouthful I realised it was full of coriander, which I can't stand! The cook happened to be passing when I pulled a face, and asked if there was a problem. I explained, and she immediately took it away and replaced it with a different salad, which was delicious. I was very impressed that she was proactive enough to notice there was a problem, and kind enough to sort it out without any fuss, especially as we had arrived just before the time at which they stop serving lunch. I'll definitely be back.

My daughter took me here whilst I was visiting, telling me how the food was excellent. We had a really lovely lunch with relatives and finished with the excellent cakes.

We regularly eat breakfast / lunch at Gilberts - food is always delicious - daily specials are great - and always served with a smile

Been here quite a few times now ... want to put something negative about it. But can't. Always great food with a different theme each time. Owners and staff are fab. The Chef is great too and always come out to greet and chat to customers. Great guy.. No liquor licence.. so take your own booze. (which in my opinion adds to the experience .. and reduces the cost) What more can I say. Fab food, groat surroundings (small but perfectly formed) and brilliant staff. Highly recommended :-)

Delicious 3 tier cakes, you can also take them out. Food is fabulous and staff very polite. Has an upstairs area too which is cosy. Most of the time it's busy. The only setback is they only take cash. They need to invest on a card machine and a lot of people don't carry cash these days.

We do frequent Gilberts as it is local establishment. The food is always well thought out, presented well and tastes amazing. We have never had anything there which has not been anything other than excellent.

Visited for the first time recently after seeing glowing reviews. Quite a popular place with locals it seems, not sure what the upstairs is like as we got a table downstairs.

Good to see jacket potatoes on the menu much enjoyed can we have them again please as usual we were not disappointed with the food and service

Asked Gilbert's to host my very small family funeral/wake for my father. Gilbert's provided everything in a caring and bespoke manner to provide a beautiful buffet with cake .!Gilberts can do anything there are no set menues.It was beautifully presented and homemade food.The staff were amazing ,good service .What more can I say we ate/ drank and celebrated dads life in lovely surroundings .Liz and Paul gave us a stress free day.Thankyou.

Called in today for a quick coffee. What a pleasure. Wonderful service and great coffee, all served with a smile. Will certainly be returning

Visited Mickleover as a treat , whilst waiting for the room to be ready went into the town to look around and came across this Kitchen & Deli, and how nice this was. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the cakes, scones etc...

Cafetería muy ruidoso y caro. Dos trozos de pastel y dos bebidas caliente llegó a casi 13 libras. Tienen una puerta interior que constantemente hace ruidos muy fuerte que es molesto cuando estás teniendo una conversación. El personal es muy ruidoso y no muchas mesas para sentarse. Sin embargo, el pastel era agradable y estaba todo muy limpio.

Este es un lugar pequeño y encantador para comer. La comida está congelada y yo desafío a cualquiera a resistir su expositor encantador de pasteles, merengues aceitunas, etc. Tanto si vuelve para un desayuno, almuerzo o el té de la tarde, no te decepcionará. Hay asientos de abajo y de arriba y cuando el tiempo es bueno, también hay asientos fuera en la parte trasera. Todo el personal es muy amable. Sin duda merece la pena una visita.

Hambre y te encantará. Personal muy atento y la comida deliciosa. Combinada con su propio burbujas hace una auténtica delicia. Gracias por una tarde preciosa de Gilberts.

Uno de nuestros cazas regulares para el café de la mañana o el té de la tarde, excelentes tartas y bollos. El menú siempre parece bueno, aunque no he probado todavía. El personal es encantador y amable y hablador. Me encanta el sig-bone china igualados tazas y platillos. Será allí una y otra vez.

Second visit in a week, did not disappoint, had afternoon tea today, very good, lovely sandwiches, posset, scones and cakes. The service was very friendly and efficient, the only slightly negative comment is there was so much food, all of it good and you are supplied with bags to take any leftovers home! So have cake to enjoy tomorrow, bonus. Highly recommended.

Been here quite a few times for the (once a month) bistro evenings. Each time is a completely different (positive) experience ... with different food being showcased from around the world ... a small but perfectly formed restaurant, with excellent staff and an amazing chef. to be continued ... PS ... due to it's popularity you have to book months in advance. But it's well worth it :-)

Being local we have passed this little restaurant many times and today we decided to drop in for a coffee. We were surprised on entering to find that the majority of tables had been reserved which suggests that it is a popular place at lunch time. However one of the two pleasant ladies told us that we could have any table as long as it was made free for the reserved time. We only wanted a coffee so wouldn't be there long. There is a good selection on the menu ranging from breakfasts to high class afternoon teas. The décor is modern, clean and bright and the service was good. Will nip in again and probably try one of the delicious looking cakes that were on offer.

Mickleover deserves so much more than Gilbert's. I have visited 3 times this place and every time, it has been a disappointment. Furthermore, it seems to go from bad to worse. The food is not as exciting as it promises to be, with poor taste combinations, and some dubious quality of ingredients. The speed of service is appalling, and despite some of the staff trying their hardest to be pleasant, there is such rudeness coming from the owners that it beggars belief how this place is still standing. None of my friends have been impressed with Gilbert's. And I certainly won't be coming back. Other places in Mickleover certainly know how to do good food and good customer service. (Alphabet shop, Hackwood Farm, Butlers Pantry...)

Having come back from swimming, myself and my mother had worked up and appetite and so I decided to take her to this little café. We were greeted by a lovely lady behind the counter who was very jolly indeed and enjoyed her job. We decided to order soup of the day and chicken with cranberry sauce sandwich. Both were very wholesome!! There is also a varied selection of cakes, though I would liked to of tried!! All the more reason to come back!!

We have been lucky enough to attend some of the Bistro evenings with the various themes. They are excellent with the staff so pleasant and the food served up is excellent. Cannot wait for the next

We were treated to a birthday tea at this restaurant and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The food was great and the service was perfect. The cakes were simply scrumptious. Its a real little gem.

A great place food always good owners and team always going the extra mile nothing is too much trouble busy all the time you need to book a table

Found this little gem about a month ago and so glad we did! Can not fault the food, coffees or service! We tried the eggs Benedict which was just yummy and since then on request the awesome chef has made us an eggs royale which we can not fault! Hollandaise sauce and eggs are always spot on! To drink we have a chai latte and I have to say it's def my new fav drink! The ladies who work in there are always friendly and always have a smile! Happy to have a chat! We try to go every week it's that good! Highly recommend this place! Need to try the lunch next! Keep up the good work guys! X

We went in yesterday for breakfast, really enjoyed the poached eggs and hollandaise sauce on a toasted muffin. Good service and friendly staff.

I used to love coming here over the past few years. Sadly seem to be a victim of their own success and the manager Paul and wife are often rude when I pop in. Its really off putting hearing them judge other customers and I think they are now only interesting in being pleasant to people in large groups who will likely spend a lot of money. I won't be going in again and recommend other nearby restaurants like the alphabet café for friendly service. Unfortunately I don't seem t be 'desirable' enough to eat there any more but if you are in a big group eg a baby shower they will welcome you with open arms, hopefully you wont be on the table next to these big parties.

Have used this lovely little cafe several times when visiting relatives in Mickleover.The food is exceptional both in quality and presentation, it is always very fresh and hot dishes are always piping hot.This week I have had the pleasure of eating home made beef stew with a hot red cabbage topping.Must admit not only was the stew extemely yummy but I could have eaten a bowl of the red cabbage as a main course, the flavour was outstanding.Finally the staff are without exception all very friendly and obviously enjoy their job and the working environment.Would HIGHLY recommend this lovely little eatery and I will certainly continue to use it on our trips from Cornwall to Mickleover.

SWMBO booked our family group in for champagne birthday brunch. The food and staff were excellent, can't be faulted. The Full English was plentiful and of high quality. Very nice place, made my day.

We booked a table for 6 people for breakfast on my husband's birthday. The cafe provided us with a birthday balloon and glasses for our own champagne, for a small fee, and were very welcoming. Service was friendly and prompt. We were very impressed that 5 full English breakfasts and 1 Eggs Benedict were delivered together and all were absolutely spot on, including the extras we had added to some dishes. Many thanks to all the staff who got our day off to such a good start.

Never eaten in, which does look good. They make some of the best cakes to order I've ever seen, for a good price. Very flexible over choices, ordered 2 now for special events and both have impressed all who saw the cakes, the last had fresh fruit as well as some of the prettiest decoration. Sponge light, icing suitably sweet.

Gilbert's Kitchen is an amazing place, the staff are always very welcoming and they do the best afternoon tea I've ever had! It's not just sandwiches and cake, there are other delicious little sweet/savoury treats which makes it even more special. I would definitely recommend it

A lovely modern and up market place to eat and drink, a great outdoor area too.Lots of choice on the menu and a good specials board as well.Terrific cakes but the coffee wasn't strong enough for my liking.I was also disappointed with my choice of main, having chosen the chicken with chilli and lime salad I found it to be drenched with dressing, making it very soggy. The chicken was mushy and rather tasteless.I'll give the menu the benefit of the doubt though as my friend really enjoyed her quiche and all the other plates emerging from the kitchen looked lovely

If you want a toasted sandwich pre order it by phone, kitchen staff flustered because of more than one order of "toasted" sandwiches,took forever.

Superb choice and quality. Best macchiato in Derby. Friendly and welcoming service. Beautiful place. I could go on. It's a must.

Loads of choice. The hearty breakfast was big but slightly expensive. I had the muffin with mushrooms and 2 poached eggs and hollandise sauce, which I enjoyed. Very clean and staff helpful.

Visited here for lunch for the first time on a Friday lunch. The place is a cosy well presented and friendly place selling an array of delights over the counter and if you want to be seated.I had the steak baguette and chips from the specials board which was incredible, but the menu itself also looked very inviting when you saw what items from this looked like going to other tables. Will certainly be back to sample more items, and probably some of the fantastic looking cakes on offer that I simply didn't have room for!

My wife and I frequently use this tea rooms and always found it a warm and welcoming place always clean.They have the ground, first floor and outside seating when the weather is fineThe staff are always pleasant, cheerful and have the time for a chat, always ensuring that everything is all right.The food is excellent and very well presented thanks to the chef, Paul. Nothing is to much troubleThere serve breakfast, lunches and high teas. They also have themed bistro evenings which are absolutely fantasticIf anyone complains about Gilbert's they must have nothing better to do with their time

I visited with my mum for a light lunch. I had a pot of tea and mum had a cappuccino,both came with a little biscuit on the side. We both ordered sandwiches. I had the tuna mayonnaise and mum had the egg mayo. The bread was really tasty and soft. Both sandwiches came with crinkle cut crisps and salad. They also do really tasty cakes and meringues. Helpful and friendly staff. Would recommend to anyone.

Myself and 2 friends had afternoon tea at Gilbert's. We had a lovely time staff all very helpful and friendly. We were all given a tired plate with sandwich squares on the top. There was egg, ham & pickle, cheese of many varieties with different pickles! Lower plate had variety of cakes, Eton mess in a china cup! Chocolate crunch, scones with jam and cream! There was so much lovely food we could not eat it all. The lady gave us all a white paper bag and we took the rest home! We had tea in China cups with extra water. The ladies were ready to get us a fresh pot of tea however many times we had emptied the pot. Thank you!

We popped in today for lunch, this was my second visit to Gilberts. Both of my visits were really enjoyable. I recommend you book a table as it can be very busy. The cakes are simply gorgeous!. I chose soup & sandwich today it was so tasty. The staff are always friendly and very helpful. I purchased a scone to take away which I have just enjoyed at home. I have attached pictures. The coffees are really good too and served with a little treat. I am looking forward to our next visit.

Good food and choice. Cakes were moist and appetising. We took out as it was packed when we visited...always a good sign.

A tremendous evening of fantastic food topped with excellent and friendly service which made for a lovely atmosphere! The coffee is top notch too! I can't speak highly enough of this place! Keeps impressing at every visit!

Spent an afternoon celebrating a 40th birthday. The High Tea surroundings and staff were excellent. Very easy to organise with helpful staff. Beautifully laid out room and the food was delicious. Would highly recommend

Good selection of food all reasonably priced. Service was friendly and food was lovely. Will continue to visit regularly.

After having a amazing meal, we decided to purchase some Chicken Pate, Homemade by Paul himself. It was amazing plenty of flavor, Thanks Paul it was lovely, also the Marmalade Onion Chutney. Well worth a try guys, you will not be disappointed.

Visited with family for high tea today (a 70th Birthday celebration). We absolutely loved it - we were so well looked after - the sandwiches, quiche & cake were to die for. Liz, Paul and their team looked after us so well - nothing was too much trouble and the staff were attentive without being intrusive. This is a gem of a place and an absolute must try!

Had the fun English breakfast...It was very nice and tasty. Locally sourced food (which I prefer) Reasonably priced and staff were friendly. Clean and bright restaurant...would recommend visiting. Next time I think I'll try the lunch menu, with a spot of cake (good selection of cakes on display) Well done!

I visited Gilbert's today with friends & my young daughter for lunch. I was impressed by the selection of food on offer which made choosing what I was going to have quite difficult! I opted for a chicken salad which was zesty with lime and had a wonderful spicy kick. It was pleasantly generous which you don't always get with salads and was exceptionally tasty. I managed to save room for a cake which was very yummy - banana, chocolate & hazelnut loaf, definitely worth trying!The staff are really friendly and welcoming and deli has lots of lovely treats on offer. Gilbert's is absolutely worth a visit it is a little gem with a fantastic chef & I will definitely be returning again in the not too distant future!

Having arrived at Gilberts at 3.30pm, we saw on the menu they had stopped serving lunch at 2.30pm. The owner/chef very kindly said he would still make us something...the sandwhiches we had were delicious.Even though it doesn't sound like much, it really was nice to receive such good customer service, which seems to be lost on so many places.Great to have a family-run business doing so well by giving great customer service.

Gilberts is the best thing to happen in Mickleover for years. Cafe and deli, really original and imaginative breakfast and lunch menu,or a great place to relax with a coffee in the attractive modern interior, or outside in the garden. Very high quality food, the great majority home made. You get a very warm welcome from Liz, Paul and all their staff. Great cheeses, cold meats, pies, olives etc at the deli counter. Excellent place for a family gathering - we had a special birthday party here last year, and everyone's still talking about it. Highly recommended!

We gave our car in for MOT at Phil Bowlers and went looking for a coffee shop. We stumbled on this place and we were so happy that we did. The place was busy but we left our number so they could ring us when a table became available at lunchtime - they rang back after 5 minutes. We ordered a sandwich and a grilled goats cheese salad (gluten free) and a slice of gluten free walnut cake. The food was fabulous and the coffee was great. We will definitely be visiting again.

Straight to the point. AMAZING FOOD yes a little pricey but definitely worth it. Lovely warm atmosphere very friendly staff will accommodate to your every need . 10/10 from me see you guys very soon .

Just returned from another delicious afternoon tea! A yummy selection of sandwiches and cakes as well as lots of tea! Thanks again, will definitely be back!

Have been to Gilberts a few but decided to try there afternoon tea with my best friends after seeing all the pictures on Gilberts Facebook page. Oh my it was out of this world the food was stunning and the service is first class Sharon who looked after us was so friendly and couldn't do enough for us and the best bit if you can't eat it all they bag it up for you and can take it home what's not to like well done Gilberts you never disappoint first class food and service every single time.

Visited here at the weekend with my sister, friend and there babies. As usual we had a lovely lunch and the service was great. The homemade quiche tasted so fresh and cant wait to have it again! Friendly atmosphere and as always great food. The cakes are also amazing :)

A friend and I went for lunch, we have been lunching weekly at different spots and thought we would try this place and were both disappointed. Technically there is nothing wrong with the Doorstep sandwich it is exactly what it says "Doorstep", however less would have improved the very bready concoction ot more filling was required. We sat upstairs which we both found okay but lacked atmosphere, downstairs is warmer and nicer in our opinion. I would say it is expensive for what it is a sandwich costing anything from £6.50 - £8.00, yes is comes with a bit of salad and a small handful of crisps but not anything exceptional, a piece of cake will set you back £3.20 + whilst they looked lovely and they have to make a living you are looking at around £12.00 for a coffee and cake for 2 a little on the expensive side from other lunch spots we have been too. It's a shame and I'm sure other items are much better value, its not an unpleasant place, just not our cuppa tea!

Went here with a friend and her child the other week due to the great reviews. So pleased we did, the staff were friendly, the service quick and the food was delicious. The café has a lovely warming atmosphere, it is clean and modern and the range of food is great. They were very sweet to my friend's young son also and were patient letting him do the ordering!

My wife and I often frequent Gilbert's and every time the experience is very rewarding.The staff are first class and spend time chatting with you and nothing is to much troubleObviously frequenting on a regularly basis the staff recognise and welcome on every occasion.The food is superb and excellently presentedIt might be slightly high in price than normal the café type places but worth every penny. The deli items are also very good especially the cheeseWe shall be back

Best cafe in Mickleover, scrum my cakes and food, staff are welcoming and friendly. When weather is good, beautiful garden with plenty of room to enjoy the sunshine and good food.

Our regular venue for coffee and cakes and it never fails to impress. Allways a fantastic home made selection but my personel favourite is a fruit scone accompanied with a latte coffee which with some years experience I can say are top draw. The lunch time blackboard changes daily and there is also a monthly evening special which is a wonderfull experience should you be lucky enough to get a table. Many thanks to Liz, Paul and the staff. Can't wait till my next visit.Alan and Jacqueline

My wife and myself called in for a quick snack and we both decided to have toasties. Well the toasties the presentation was first class with side salad etc. The bread was very thick and beautifulIt price is a little on the high side but it was worth every penny

We love popping in to Gilbert's for breakfast or lunch. Paul is a seriously good chef who produces a daily menu of specials, with Liz running front-of-house and they're a lovely couple who make all customers feel welcome.The food is great for adults and kids. You can have fresh and tasty sandwiches, while there are always lots of lovely cakes and breads for sale. The breakfasts are pretty good - make sure you are hungry! The food is more than affordable and there is seating upstairs as well as down. There is also a nice outdoor seating area when the weather is nice.

Very clique, same people in every time. This is the second time I have visited, de-ja vue! It is a lovely place, china used, extra water for topping up tea-pot, food excellent; they also have a deli with a large range of products.

Lovely place to chill and relax with friends.Once a month they do a themed night with a set menu at £25.00 a head and this evening it was Italian. There were 4 courses and each course had 3 dishes that came to the table for you to choose from. Their was plenty of food and it was enjoyable. You have to take you're own alcohol and they charge a £1.00. corking fee.

I love this place, I often go with family and friends. The friendly welcoming owners are lovely, and nothing is too much trouble. The food is delicious, daily specials are great. Their themed evenings are amazing and really good value, but you need to book well in advance! Thanks Gilbert's, love the Martinez family.

Lovely place. Nice service and the food lovely. The upstairs is nicely decorated and the garden seating great in nice weather.

How any body can rate this place average god only knows.Its a really really lovely well thought about and designed tasty quality oasis.The coffee &the cakes beautiful.Quality sandwiches,breads.Lovely afternoon teas.The outside area "the garden"is a relaxing place to sit.Inside seating just as good.A Quality addition to the Mickleover parade.Keep up the good work.

Been a few times for lunches but also tried the breakfast. Very good quality and a sensible price. It can get busy but there are tables downstairs and upstairs. Not sat outside yet but that is a nice addition.The deli/cake shop is also very tempting so leave some space if you can!
