Just collected the most amazing grazing box from Claire and Sam at Stephensons. Beautifully packaged and presented, super generous in terns if content and the same superb quality as the eat in cuisine. There’s another opportunity to purchase one in NYE too!!!

I visit this Coffee Shop regularly and continue to be impressed with how consistent the Covid 19 guidelines are followed . I feel safe and secure, as well as receiving high quality food in lovely surroundings with very friendly and helpful staff . Food is always of a very high standard and 'no' is never the answer. Highly recommend

I feel compelled to write a review after the most delicious lunch I have had in a long time. The staff were very friendly and followed Covid guidance making me feel very safe. Myself and friends ordered different quiches, all delicious and beautifully presented with flavoursome accompanying salads and new potatoes. Pudding was up there as one of the best I have tasted - lemon Bakewell with vanilla ice cream, soft fruits on the side and a joyful of warm lemon sauce , absolutely delicious !I have booked a return visit

Five of us visited Stephenson’s Tea Rooms for our first post-lockdown meal out for my birthday and we had a lovely lunch.The regulations around social distancing and hygiene were well maintained, with hand sanitiser provided for arrival and exit and the tables well spaced apart. Food and drink was also delivered to one end of the table for us to pass along between ourselves.The lady who served us was really friendly and helpful, going through all the day’s specials and offering to customise orders for us. The taco salad bowls looked great, while I enjoyed my red pepper and tomato soup. The warm cheese and chive savoury scone was the perfect side and although my first choice of a white chocolate mocha wasn’t available, the chai latte was delicious! Thank you for the great food and service :)

Never been here before but thought I'd try it for coffee. What a surprise when I saw the menu, lovely sounding breakfasts and lunches. On chatting with the waitress found that they are very adaptable at catering for Coeliacs as I am one myself. Couldn't resist trying the almond and clementine sponge cake with orange sauce and cream. Beautifully presented on the plate with a decoration of grape, pineapple and strawberry. Oh my, it was so delicious. I will definitely go again to maybe try breakfast or lunch. Just a tiny flaw, it's up some stairs but don't let that stop you trying it.

Very good selection on the lunchtime menu. The food (frittata with salads, spicy parsnip soup with savoury scone) was really nice and reasonably priced. My only reservation is that the service, though friendly, was slow. It was quite full but, even so, it could have been quicker.I'm willing to give it another try next time I am in Chesterfield though to sample other things on the menu and when I haven't got an appointment to worry about.

The well appointed business is on the first floor with a very easy access via a very wide staircase.We were seated very promptly and our waitress was wonderful, very smiley and obviously happy to be working in such a lovely place.I had the eggs royale, it was delicious with proper thick hot roast salmon, whilst my son had warm pancakes and raspberry sauce....devoured very quickly! And a proper flat white done really well.Thank you for a really relaxed and wonderful brunch treat. Prices are very reasonable as well.

We were booked into a matinee performance of Nigel Slaters Toast at the Pomegranate and chose Stephensons for lunch . First time we have been and what a pleasure . It has a nice atmosphere inside and the service was friendly and impeccable . We had light lunches which were both delicious and spied the cakes . We were quickly tempted to share the Lemon Drizzle cake which came with a jug of extra lemon drizzle and a teeny jug of cream . I didn’t want to share . Quite simply the best lemon drizzle cake ever .

What a brilliant coffee shop this is. So glad I found out about it on trip advisor and sought it out. The doorway leads into the lobby of the old building and the coffee shop is upstairs. We really loved the friendliness of the staff. A great menu of tempting things to eat, I had a ciabatta filled with roasted veg that was served with the loveliest homemade salads, hubby’s lunch was lasagne also very good. The cakes on display looked amazing but no room this time, maybe we’ll just come for cake next visit.

The tea and coffee house is upstairs in the centre of Chesterfield but you can find it easily as there is a board outside, We went for lunch and we’re pleasantly surprised by the imaginative menu on offer. I had the warm beetroot salad with feta cheese and roasted vegetables light lunch salad and a cappuccino. It was delicious and just right for a light lunch. My husband has the Derbyshire oatcake with smoked salmon and scrambled egg and declared it to be excellent. The staff were very friendly and efficient and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this coffee house for lunch. I was so tempted by the lovely cakes but resisted, and they also had freshly made quiches as well... so a variety of dishes on offer.

Te cafe is up quite a long flight of stairs . . . but a warm welcome awaits. The food is excellent with a great choice. Staff friendly and very accomodating to our large group, ensuring seating arrangements suited us. No demur that we had a couple fewer than expected. The only negative was that a better extractor fan in the kitchen and improved ventilation in the cafe must be required because all my clothes and hair smelled of the savoury cooking several hours later.

Very large with gorgeous decor. Overlooking the stunning church with it's twisted spire (so very pretty). Plenty of room, perfect for a couple. Lovely sumptuous bed and damn fine and powerful shower! I slept well (actually kept my curtains open as the view was so beautiful). The room had everything I needed (tea, hair dryer etc - all the usuals) plus the addition of a lovely seasonal decoration. Following a fab sleep and hot shower I enjoyed a hearty breakfast (very yum!), ready for my day of business. Thoroughly recommend staying here - Claire & Sam are lovely - cannot wait to visit again!

Although the quality of the food was very nice, we did not feel that the quantity we were given for three people was anywhere near sufficient.

We have often come to this restaurant and have found it to be excellent. What on earth happened on Monday 9th is a mystery, My lunch was excellent but my wife ordered tomato and pepper soup which was supposed to be served with "a chunk of white bread". When it arrived it was dreadful, the soup was like coloured water and had little flavour. My wife described it as like the liquid from a tin of tomato soup that had just been heated up. The bread consisted of two dry slices of white bread. The total cost of the soup and bread probably cost a few pence to produce. Not good enough!

To run a restaurant it seems obvious that the menu cannot be changed in order to suit any individual who walks in. There is a budget to be adhered too as well as keeping the ingredients for the dishes for which they were meant. Common sense I think.

I was taken to Stephensons by a work colleague when I was working in Chesterfield. Great find. The light lunch specials are all very good. Pleasant quick service which allows to eat in a short lunch break. The cakes looked good but we did not have them. Very reasonable cost and excellent quality. Very friendly. A fantastic experience. They deserve to succeed long term.

Pre Christmas Afternoon tea treat was delicious.. Tasty sandwiches, mini Victoria sandwich cakes, lovely scones with jam and cream and a little pot of fresh fruit. Finally moreish cake and mini melt in the mouth meringues. All served with a choice of tea or coffee, very good value. The owners and waitresses are always friendly while being efficient and providing a good service. I would definitely recommend.

This is a superb café. The food is excellent, and the service is great. My request for transforming various dishes into vegetarian (or sometimes vegan) options have always been accommodated. The home-made soups, quiches and cakes are excellent, and the atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended. My daughter (eight years old) added her own review: ‘This cafe is really good. The food is so good, and the staff are really nice to children. Children really have their own menu with delicious sandwiches and toasties and paninis to choose from. The cafe also does afternoon teas. I rate it 5 stars’.

Looking for somewhere in central Chesterfield to meet up with friends for lunch and booked in here. So glad we did, everyone enjoyed their meals, the cafe was lovely and clean and the staff (especially the lady who served us) were extremely helpful and courteous. We will definitely go back.

Run by a mother and son this is a cosy little café in an upstairs room. Offers a range of quiche and light lunches, served with a good mix of salad and chutneys. There's also an excellent choice of puddings. The service is also excellent

Met with friends for lunch. There was s lovely vareity of food. The salads with our panini were tasty and we were offered were 4 types of homemade salad dressings to go with it. Very nice and we'll worth the money.

I couldn't help feeling blessed to go into this place! The ambiance, the staff, the cleanliness, decoration not to mention the fabulous food! Stephenson's is certainly a place above the rest. ( it's on the first floor) .. Yes, the owner manager has a great sense of humour and made us feel very welcome and valued. Although the food is discribed as excellent, the home made cakes are "off the scale" .. in fact as I type this, I suddenly have an urge to get off there and sample some more cake. Oh the bliss of that thought..

Have eaten here several times in the past and the experience had been very good. On this latest visit we were both very disappointed with the quality of the food and the rushed speed of service which was decidedly faster than usual. One of the starters was 1 1/2 slices of beetroot wrapped in soggy pastry. Both main courses were overcooked. Overall, certainly not fine dining. Won't be returning.
