Nook Corner Coffee Shop in Charnwood

We regularly visit this cafe and never fail to be satisfied with all aspects of the service from Sharon and her team and quality of the food and drinks on offer. Today was no exception with well made cappuccino and mocha and delicious carrot cake and an Easter special chocolate nest bun with mini eggs. I’m sure we’ll be back again next week. 😀😀

Coffee was okay but Victoria sponge and tiffin were dreadful - both tasted like washing up liquid. Possibly bakewares not rinsed of detergent. The cake was inedible due to the soapy taste (my daughter and I shared a piece takeaway). Apart from the taste it was also dry with a dense crumb. Very disappointing, and waste of money.

Came for a weekday lunch, hot chocolate was good, panini good portion size and flavoursome. Staff friendly. Would return.

I had been on a training course at Glenfield all day and passed through Ansty on my way home wanting to visit Cropston which is where my family are from . I was desperate for a drink and shot in the Nook Coffee shop , to find they were about closed and had cleaned everything away , the very kind lady behind the counter took pity on me and made me a wonderful latte to take out , have to say it was one of the nicest coffees I’ve had and was so much appreciated ! Some people would have been really grumpy about but she still served me with a smile and made me feel welcome , thank you!

Short review. Went here for coffee and cake. Coffee really good but expensive. Cake excellent. Top of the shop. Friendly staff. Will be going back for a deeper taste of the menu in a month or two.

Nice coffee shop, ideal for lunch with the daughter on a Thursday. Jacket potatoes our favourite but plenty of choice and lovely staff. Sit upstairs by the window, a great view of the world outside.

I called in for a coffee and was very impressed by the food selection and the staff. It is not as big inside as it appears from the outside but that serves to add to the intimate atmosphere. Don’t be put off if it looks full, there are seats upstairs!

Our first time at this cafe and it was delightful staff were lovely, food was fab and cake was amazing already thinking about our next visit

Beautiful premises adding to the atmosphere, staff very attentive nothing to much trouble. Very good value for money. Thank you

Amazing service could not of asked for better. Very prompt with replying to sort a order out for 21 afternoon teas to be delivered to work for my birthday. Communication was brilliant went out way to get the order right and emailed across details did everything was asked delivered right on the time. Food was brilliant in the most lovely boxes displayed very nicely. Food was lovely worth every penny. Will use again in the future. Planning on going for tea and cake in the cafe soon. Thank you for being so amazing

I called in today during my very short lunch break looking for a quick lunch to go. I ordered tomato soup to take back to work and eat, as I was cold. After approx.10 minutes of waiting (in the way of the waitresses taking orders to other diners) I was asked if I wanted bread with my soup, so i thought it was about to be brought out. Another 10 minutes went by and the waitresses kept squeezing by me, not smiling or even acknowledging me. So I caught ones attention and asked how much longer it would be as my lunch break was almost over. Without a smile she asked what I was waiting for. I told her soup, she looked on the kitchen and said it wouldn't be long. Then a couple of minutes later said they only had enough for half a portion. I was gutted. Then asked if I wanted anything else, to which I said a refund. My lunch break was over and I hadn't eaten. I had wasted my short break standing in a cold doorway of a cafe being ignored by numerous waitresses who couldn't even smile or acknowledge me. They had taken my money and it wasn't until I asked how much longer my soup was going to be that they thought to tell me they didn't have enough soup. So very disappointed. As a stressed, busy, nhs worker breaks are quite precious, as is eating. I cannot believe this poor customer service.

Great place for coffee and cake. Lovely waitress. - friendly and helpful. Thanks so much. Will be back soon.

My Husband and I visited the Nook today for Lunch. We were seated by Sharon who was most welcoming, our track and trace and our order was taken by Kate, she remembered our names from a previous visit. The food was excellent, as the weather was so hot, they had a Specials Board which we both selected from I had thd Ploughmans Salad and my husband had a Duck in Hoisin Sauce Wrap with a Salad Garnish, both meals were very well presented. Erin came and asked if we needed any condiments, which we didn't, she was so polite. We also ordered Pancakes with Strawberries and Vanilla Ice Cream which was a lovely finish to our meal. To complete our meals I had a pot of Tea and my Husband had a bottle of Anstey Beer which is brewed locally. We received 1st Class Service from Sharon, Kate and Erin and look forward to our next visit, and would suggest if you haven't visited the Nook, you are missing.

£3.75 for microwaved Wall’s sausages like a cafe on the Saff. Have some self respect. Will not be going again.

Since they hired the young girl taking everybody’s track and trace the place has gone up in my opinion unfortunately I don’t know her name but she is so polite and nothing is too much for her she’s lovely the coffee is fantastic and the cakes they could have a vegan option though and the tables were a bit to close together other than that a nice visit thankyou

Had a super takeout afternoon tea , beautifully prepared finger sandwiches,savoury mini bites , cakes and delicious scones , made a friends first get together very special,thank you so much Sharon ......highly recommend 👏👏💕😁

We had a lovely lunch at the Nook yesterday and felt extremely Covid safe. The service was great too.

Lovely food. Good service. Excellent coffee. Good Covid 19 awareness . Busy but staff friendly and approachable.

Went to have lunch with my sister the other day.....think the waitresses Must have been on something.. or from another planet. Service was worse than poor... needs a good shake upNo signs to inform as to it is table service... left after 20 mins shall not rysh to go back again

Good location. We had a coffee outside just after post lockdown 1, feels safer at present. Good coffee and a great situation to watch life going on. Staff very cycle friendly AAA in our book.......though the lassie that served us, did say she does 200 miles a week cycling!.........we feel elated if we do over a 100.

I often come here for breakfast and occasionally lunch. It’s always good value and quality. The coffee is excellent. And they will go the extra mile to make it exactly how you like !!! Staff always friendly.

The Sausages are in edible. The bacon is not much better. It's a shame as nice cafe with good coffee.

A handy village coffee shop, with friendly staff. The cakes always look really good. Coffee was a bit disappointing as it was very weak.

Sausages were vile, don’t eat them. Cupboard upstairs is rammed with fridges and they freeze and fridge cooked meat. The floor is thick with horrible gunge. Crisps were soft and out of date. Never coming here again

Nice friendly staff and great location in the village centre...lots of space and comfortable seating - good food choice and generous portions.

Visited this week for coffee and cake with friends. Coffee was delicious and the service was good, however the cakes were disappointing, they were left out in the open without covers on and were beginning to go a little stale.

I don't come here that frequently but every time fails to dissapoint, quality food at a very reasonable price, served by kind staff members. I always feel welcome and very much enjoy a nice light lunch at the Nook.

I went in a few weeks ago looking for a place to work away from home for a few hours. Great coffee, lovely wraps for lunch and delicious range of cakes and handmade chocolates/fudges - super friendly staff too.

Had an afternoon coffee in the sunshine on the outside tables. The staff were not over friendly, but it was nice anyway

We finally had a free night to go to the gin night and boy we were not disappointed, it is fun, food is great and gin's were so varied it was great - atmosphere was really good, platters were amazing, i think you get the gist - it is just a great well planned, fun night. thanks to the host and hostess we really enjoyed it.

I met a friend here for a coffee and a catch up. There was a great choice of coffees and teas. A lovely looking selection of cakes. The cafe was pleasant, the staff were welcoming and friendly. Definitely worth a visit.

Sharon catered for a funeral for us last week for 100 people and it was absolutely amazing. The quality and variety of food was outstanding. We were even treated to added extras including homemade mini cheesecakes and meringues on pretty cake stands! I would highly recommend this service and also visiting the nook corner cafe where Sharon continues to be creative, whether it’s hosting ‘gin nights’ or serving great meals and afternoon tea.

Popped in for a coffee and cake. Lovely old fashioned cafe. Very nice staff and surroundings. Nice cakes and good coffee. Nice area outside, but a bit too cold.

Lovely time it’s a little small but good staff and good food lots of options in a lovely village will return

Called in on the spur of the moment and was delightfully surprised. A larger place than I first thought with several different areas. We enjoyed toasted tea cake and a bacon bap which was enormous and some good coffee. We were served by very pleasant young girls who were cheerful, helpful and actually made our visit.

Then coffee is great, the food is delicious, the staff are friendly and its in a really cute building!

I visited this little cafe and found the lady very pleasant and full of smiles, what a great greeting to any customer.

I've been here many times and it always proves to be a nice visit. Quality food and friendly service, is always worth a visit when in the area.

This coffee shop is lovely. The inside is small but quaint. The outside now has seating but it is near a busy roundabout - it's fine if you're after people watching etc :) The coffee is nice and the slices of cake are absolutely huge! The only reason I give 3 stars for service is because the server clearly did not want to give us the little biscuit that comes with the coffee as they were next to her but we had to ask for them. Other than that, I would definitely visit here again.

Just called in for some lunch while I was passing through, firstly because the place looked nice and there were plenty people sat outside in the sun. Plenty customers is always a good sign! Cracking lunch menu, I had a jacket potato which was quite big and piping hot, something you don’t always get these days and it came with a lovely salad garnish. Good pot of tea too. I highly recommend this little place

Stopped for a coffee on the way home and decided to share a scone with jam and cream. The coffee was nice and hot. The scone jam and cream were lovely and the service was very good. Will be back to try more of the menu.

I visited this cafe with a friend for first time , young girl serving us was very friendly & took time to ask about our day , drinks were nice & it was a very pleasant visit overall

Called in for lunch while working nearby. Lovely clean Cafe, with good food and excellent service. Great value for money. Well worth a visit.

My husband and I visited the coffee shop this morning (wed 31st). I was greeted with the loveliest of smiles from a young lady on the till. She’s a credit to you for someone so young. She took such an interest in what we had planned for the day etc. We really felt we had to write a review straight away. We had yummy toasted sandwiches and lattes. Fab place xx

Food and drinks OK but costs a fortune. Tiny cafe with lots of tat to buy. There is now external seating however with the road right beside you'll probably die of carbon monoxide poisoning before you finish your coffee.

Hot food was a bit undercooked and quite expensive for what it was Cakes looked amazing but didn’t try myself Nice atmosphere

Called in to Nook Corner on the recommendation of my sister. I was on a timed walk so bought a take out decaf cappuccino. Good price at £2.30 for a large cup. Good and hot and very tasty. I liked the look of the home made cakes. I must come back and do some sampling.

Friendly staff and good selection of cakes snd biscuits makes a plessent change from A road services. A couple of minutes from main A46 and free parking off village square. Drop off and tune in to local life on a busy jouney, great.

Had a lovely breakfast in here. Can't have too many as they can become addictive. Scrambled eggs particularly nice.

We (self & wife) called in for lunch. Standard menu sort of thing (soup, sandwiches, baked potato, etc). I ordered a soup: No soup on, so I ordered a baked potato: don't have any potato (it is OPPOSITE a green grocer!). No particular care from staff just a you can order something else (assume it's not their business). I had nothing, Wife had a toasted sandwich. Not particularly spotless either. VERY poor - shall not be back despite being in area frequently.

Despite the fact that I was alone, and only wanted coffee, the staff were friendly and welcoming. The cakes looked delicious and sold themselves, no pressure selling here! Proprietor was professional, the server very polite and another staff member I met as I left was helpful. The cafe is small and has a lovely atmosphere.

We had booked to have full English breakfast as it was my husbands birthday. It was delicious. They also catered for my dietry requirements which was great for me . We have visited the Nook on many occasiona. I have also bought cakes to celebrate my own birthday and all I have is praise for the excellent baking skills and high quality of food that is served .

Nice little place (that is actually much bigger, stretching into other rooms behind and above). Friendly staff, good food and drink and a relaxing atmosphere. We enjoyed and will be going back.

Afternoon tea for a colleague's retirement farewell. There were approximately 15 of us and the Nook were kind enough to allow us to take over their beautiful upstairs room.

I organised my friends baby shower at nook corner and I was soooooo impressed with communication between myself and the owner organising details (Sharon is very prompt at responding to messages) to the lovely room which the baby shower was set in.

Held a baby shower for my sister in law upstairs. Amazing selection of afternoon tea and very accommodating for fussy eaters!

Just had the most wonderful bacon bap followed by walnut cake and coffee,served by warm and friendly staff. A coffee shop full of tempting homemade chocolate and fudge, certainly a place to visit if you have a sweet tooth.

i often visit the nook for a coffee and a slice of cake with my colleague as we only work 5 minutes away.

Visited there as car was in garage. Great place to get work done while you wait... Free WiFi and fantastic lunch options

Wanting a place to meet half way we decided on The Nook cafe. Prawn baguette was delicious, lots of prawns and not drowning in sauce. My friend had the Mexican wrap which she enjoyed. Aso indulged in coffee and cake. The cake slices are huge but delicious. The cafe is cute and was pretty busy. We sat upstairs...some background music would be nice but this may not be to everyone's liking. The staff are efficient.

Having just completed a 7 mile walk , my husband and I felt we had earned a treat! We were not disappointed. We ordered a cheese and ham toasted sandwich and a slice of chocolate chip gateau. The lovely girl taking our order overheard us agreeing to share both items. She very kindly organised for us to each receive a plate with half a sandwich, salad, coleslaw and crisps. Followed when we requested by half a slice of cake each. All staff were very friendly. Quaint little cafe, clean and welcoming. We also took a slice of Victoria sandwich and Coffee/ Walnut cake home. Yum! Thank you.

My friend and I visited here for breakfast recently; it's a small place but we had the whole upstairs to ourselves. We both had English breakfasts and a coffee. It was all made fresh with whatever we ordered. It was a good price, nice atmosphere and the staff were very friendly. There are also little truffles and chocolate treats that can be bought as gifts or simply little treats to yourself :)

Popped in with some a friend and we had the Cream Tea for Two for only £5.50! what a bargain, the scones were AMAZING with lots of jam and proper clotted cream. Staff were really friendly and told me about a new app to download called Zapper that would save me £2 off my bill. I downloaded the app whilst eating and i was only charged £3.50 for two pots of tea and 2 scone, defiantly worth a visit :)

Fancied a coffee and cake.ordered 2 coffees and scones, jam, cream at the counter, asked if I should sit at a table, was abruptly told to wait till everything was put on a tray and then find a table! Whoops, sorry for asking. Then had to witness the server get a grump on with a young waitress.

We popped in here after being recommended by the local estate agents . Had a really nice breakfast. It was good to have proper Heinz beans and not cheap catering ones . My partner loved the sausages . Although I don't eat them myself ,We stupidly ordered cake when we went in but had to take it home as we were really full, but this was a bonus later on , The girl on the counter was very helpful wrapping it up for us. We don't often visit Anstey but will definitely make the effort to return .

Everything is mostly poor quality. The food was mostly previously cooked and just reheated. The sausages were very poor quality. The victoria sponge cake must have been sitting in their fridge for a week. It had a 'fridge smell' and was very stale. Won't be coming back. The owner should pay attention to the quality of the food. He seems to be more interested in his huge ugly truck parked in front of the place.

We couldnt believe that all the cakes, scones, flapjacks, meringues, chocolates... All of it were home made by Sharon. It was all incredible. They opened up especially for my baby shower on the Sunday and really couldn't have done enough for us. I can't recommend them enough. So much thought and attention to detail went into it, including a little baby gift bag. I'll be telling all my friends and everyone on Tripadvisor to call in and sample their delights. ***** stars from me Excellent. Thank you.

Dont visit that often as live less than 1/2 mile away. Occasionally call in for a takeaway breakfast Baguette, and have a Latte while waiting. Latte very nice and Baguette awesome, made the mistake of getting one each (for wife and I). One between two is plenty. Staff pleasant and efficient. would recommend a visit if in the village.

I stayed whilst having my car serviced at a a local garage. Good food and drinks, helpful staff who didnt mind me using their electricity for my laptop. I would definitely go back if I am in the area.

Strange to find reviews giving both excellent and terrible within the same month. I found the cafe clean and the cakes looked appetising. I had the half breakfast which was fine but not outstanding. The latte was also fine. The staff though courteous were not very welcoming and seemed to struggle to raise a smile whenever customers walked in.

I've visited the Nook Coffee shop a couple of times now and have enjoyed the visits. Large coffee just 20p more than a regular cup and the size is huge! Great value. Sandwiches are good, side salad a little limp, better not to have put it on the plate. The cakes look good not tried a piece yet, need to go in hungry the size of them is twice whatever I would bake! Looks a tiny place but there's more seating around the corner and upstairs. I like to pay a visit to Forget Me Not to while I'm in Anstey.

We visited the coffee shop for a takeaway mega bacon bap. We had smelt bacon cooking and it smelt delicious so we really looked forward to it. My hubby went in to order and bought out 2 bacon baps. We walked up the road and bit into them to discover dry baps and rock hard bacon that had obviously been previously cooked and then reheated. We like to travel round sampling breakfasts and baps and these were the worst we have tried

We stopped by in Anstey this morning looking for somewhere for a cup of tea. We noticed The Nook Corner coffee shop, it looked so inviting so we popped in. The staff were all lovely and friendly, with great service. It's a lovely quirky little cafe, with lots of goodies and gifts to buy on show too.
