We popped in here for some hot drinks and cakes on a cold January day. I’m glad we did. The cakes were wonderful, and very generous portions. The hot drinks were excellent too. They also do a wide variety of sandwich fillings, which I will definitely try next time. This place is a just a few metres walk across the Grosvenor bridge, and is well worth seeking out as its a hidden gem.

I had lunch here today after going to Handbridge to buy a present for my son. I hadn't seen this cafe online but was SO pleased I found it. The staff were very welcoming and service was quick ( which was good as I only had 30 minutes for my car parking!). My bacon batch was delicious and large, the coffee was good and the brownie which I took out was just gorgeous. I thoroughly recommend this lovely little place.

A great little shop just outside the centre, over the bridge towards Handbridge. A great selection and sandwich fillings and cakes. The Rocky Road was the best I’ve ever tasted! Fabulous 🥇

I have never eaten in the cafe, but on at least 3 occasions now have ordered vegan cakes for birthdays etc. So much love, care, and customer satisfaction is taken into account when these cakes have been made. They're so tasty and would be gone in a heartbeat if they also weren't huge (that's a good thing!) :D

I am a regular here and the food is delicious. Good variety of fresh Deli style food. Also love to pop in at the weekend and get a brownie/cake to go - their homemade bakes are amazing. Would recommend!

While staying on the River Dee in Chester, I made my way to Handbridge to use the Launderette. This little gem was on route. Tired of eating in restaurants, this was homemade food, made by 2 lovely ladies. I went 3 times during my visit. I packed a freshly made tart and scone for my train ride home. Highly recommend!!

Great choice of food however the quality is really just average compared to the cost! The service however is excellent I think maybe if they looked at slightly better ingredients it might help a little more.

Went for a walk by the river in Chester a few weeks ago and pretty much everywhere was closed, but luckily for us this little café was open and weren't we glad. Had a bit to eat and a drink, there are a couple of tables inside, so you can eat in. It is so reasonably priced too, just wish we had found the place sooner. We have also been back since too, the customer service is great and the food lovely.

Happened across this lovely place when staying just up the road in Handbridge. The staff were very friendly. The food was plentiful, delicious and reasonably priced with many options. We only had a sandwich as were heading into town however the cakes looked delicious too. Would recommend to anyone wanting a quick bite with a nice coffee.

I took a friend of mine, who had recently moved to Chester city centre, to Spoilt for Choice for lunch, she enjoyed her turkey salad and I enjoyed my sausage roll. My friend said that it’s going to become her regular haunt for lunch, great customer service, super location and superb choice (it definitely lives up to its name!). We also bought some traybake treats to eat back at home (I had to, I couldn’t refuse when my three year old requested I get her a piece of the yummy chocolate brownie from the nice lady at Spoilt for Choice!). My rocky road was delish and my daughter and husband devoured their chocolate brownies!

Bought a brownie and rocky road and it's awful! Just peices of small marshamllow stuck together with stale chocolate and the brownie is chewy obviously from yesterday.

Nos metimos en un almuerzo tardío a mitad de semana mientras estuvimos en Chester por unos días. La selección de comida es increíble y los panecillos recién hechos y absolutamente deliciosos (queso, mayonesa y ensalada). La taza de té era igualmente sabrosa. Un menú completo y asientos encantadores. Definitivamente regresaría.

Having been here before and really enjoyed their food, I was disappointed with my visit last week. Coffees and 2 sausage rolls ordered. First mouthful of my sausage roll tasted odd had a tang to it. Tried a piece of my friends and she tried mine and agreed it was definitely off. Cafe was busy so I waited until people had left to approach the counter and mention the fact. Amazing response from two of the staff - "they're all from the same batch, don't see how there can be anything wrong". I was given another and it was fine, would have been better if my complaint had been acknowledged positively - bad customer service on this occasion!

Homemade cakes, pies and pastries and so much more. Takeaway choice is great but you can also eat in. Can't recommend it highly enough

A real treat nestled over the bridge in Handbridge. Is the best deli/ cafe in the Chester area, hands down! Wonderful service from Sharon and the team - I may go hungry if this ever shut!

Nothing is to much trouble special cakes for diabetics etc. made to order food available to eat in or takeaway friendly staff owner works in the business and has a good knowledge of food for people with allergies and will always accommodate also has 2 tables outside. THIS BUISNESS WAS PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS KATED DELI BUT HAS DIFFERENT OWNERS FOR A FEW YEARS NOW AND THERE IS NO COMPARISON BETWEEN KATES DELI AND SPOILT FOR CHOICE if your experiences were not as you may have expected when it traded as kates deli then you will not be disappointed now!!

Went to Chester with my Wife for a day out and decided to have Tea and cakes somewhere different to our usual place and came across Spoilt for Choice Café. Only a little shop with only three tables but Top quality food and warm friendly staff made this a really enjoyable experience. The owner told us most of the food was baked on the premiss on the day of sale I can confirm this as the piece of cake I had was still warm as it had only been baked an hour before.

This is a wonderful little cafe located on Handbridge main street. It serves a delightful range of hot and cold savories, bread, soup, drinks and cakes, either to have in the cafe itself or to take-away. The range of home cooked items is mouth-watering (including some wonderful pies), and the sandwiches we have had from here have also been delicious.

What a great find for our breakfast this morning. Greeted by two friendly staff members, who were most accommodating to our dietary requirements (Gluten Free). Our order was taken & cooked fresh, when served to us, we were not disappointed, all was enjoyed & our plates cleared. It's a tea room serving breakfast, sandwiches, tea & cakes, etc. It's on the highstreet with parking for 3 to 4 cars. A big Thank You to the team that were happy to help us this morning.

A cute, somewhat cramped, restaurant specialising in small plates and seems to have a passion for food, however I was left a bit disappointed by the whole experience. I ordered the tagliatelle in a mustard sauce but the mustard was very overpowering. Then croquets which were delicious and perfectly cooked and Welsh Beef which sadly never arrived. For dessert I orders the tiramisu but this was mostly cream and very underwhelming. Others on our table had mixed reviews but we all left with one common thought - very overpriced!! Service, in general, was very good but sadly my beef dish was missed.

We stopped by here for breakfast during a wander round the city. Staff were lovely on arrival and throughout our visit; the food was top notch, and the setting perfect - not too modern, not too rustic. Prices were very reasonable, especially for the quality and choice on the menu. And finally the toilets (an important part of any review): delightful, as toilets go, and clean.

Friendly atmosphere from staff and visitors. Opportunity to sit in the bar and talk to people as well as opportunity to sit in a the lounge which is quieter and spacious. Locals chat about history I like to visit for a few drinks, sometimes bring my laptop to study. All the facilities are great, everything is kept organised and clean, everyone is welcome and it's a truly a great place.
