The Sanctuary Coffee House in Broxtowe

This is a great place for breakfast and good coffee good value too,we are sad it is closing as we have been going here sin it was Creme Restaurant Thank you for all the lovely food over the years you will be missed

We go here every week as it's by far the best coffee shop in town. This was a special family occasion for 6 people so we booked a table for mid morning breakfast and milkshakes. Great service and food in a lovely environment.

Visited here today Tuesday 27th September and met up an old work colleague. Very nice modern interior and nice furnishings. Great menu and good prices. Was only here for a drink and some toast, Liked the table service and the drinks and toast was also very nice. Great customer service. Last time i was in Stapleford on foot, this was an Italian restaurant. Shall be back here with the wife soon

This is an excellent modern cafe type restaurant with good customer service. Lovely cakes and good hot drinks. Brunch and lunch menus are very good and food us will presented and delicious. Car parking adjacent to restaurant is free for 1 hour. Highly recommended as it's the best cafe in Stapleford.

Been here with family and friends a few times. Really lovely little gem in stapleford. The food is always hot and tasty. Their English breakfasts are perfect every time. It’s always clean and the staff are always polite and friendly. Will visit again soon.

Great local coffee shop, popped in for a quick bite and drink one sunday afternoon, would highly recommend it.

Really welcoming staff, in a lovely building. Great coffee, cakes, scones and light meals. This time we enjoyed the pancakes and cannoli (delicious Italian sweet).

We've missed the Sanctuary so much that it was the first place we visited after the coronavirus lockdown was eased. Always good friendly service, lovely coffee and cakes/snacks. The only adaptations are that you need to give contact details and bring your masks. The tables were already 2m apart and it is spacious and has a separate exit. Always recommended.

Stepped into this coffee shop for the first time in December since it opened. Totally impressed and have been an additional two times. Breakfast and brunch were superb, and staff were really nice and welcoming. Can't ask for a nicer atmosphere to enjoy a cup of coffee, and they served the best latte I've ever had!

We've been to the Sanctuary many times and it's still the best cafe in town. It's always open and there are always available seats. Drinks are perfect and there's a great range of cakes/snacks/breakfasts to choose from. The room is modern and comfortable and the staff are friendly.

The Sanctuary is our favourite coffee shop but this was our first time for breakfast. The scrambled eggs on toast was so big I didn't want lunch later. Perfect coffee, good food and always a treat. The staff are also welcoming and friendly.

Never been before as if I’m honest it looked really expensive from the outside. Myself and my wife visited 7/10/19 and I’ve absolutely nothing but praise for every aspect of this lovely place. This is so much nicer the the pub down the road, definitely will be returning.

The sanctuary is a lovely place to have a catch up with a friend. My only negative comment would be the menu hasn’t changed since it’s been open ( a few years now ) I follow a vegan diet and there is nothing on the menu that I could eat apart from beans on toast. Every time I’ve enquired about the cakes they don’t seem to have a clue what is in the ingredients so I never bother. All I have is a cup of tea when I visit and it would be nice to have a few more choices

Lunch with a friend was a great visit. The onion soup was absolutely wonderful, I do hope they put that on the menu regularly. We will definitely return in preference to our usual venue.

This is our favourite coffee shop in the area. Lovely cakes, snacks and meals and great coffee/drinks. The room has a lovely atmosphere, with modern decor and it's easy to get a table. Good service - fast and friendly. There is a convenient public car park adjacent. Much better than the boring chain-cafes.

Great coffee - served hot! Great staff Great food Pick it up and put it in the country, would be perfection! Will become a regular.

Brilliant place very relaxing. Coffee and food very good standard. Staff are also very friendly. Great location and clean.

Found this place today Quiet friendly place excellent coffee and G and T at very reasonable prices. Definitely going to be our coffee place Fantastic

Went for the first time to the Sanctuary for coffee with a friend. What a surprise, a varied breakfast and lunch menu. Will definitely go for something to eat next time. The only down side was, that tables were not cleared very quickly. Twice a waitress bought out food and walked past tables that wanted clearing.

I meet with friends on weekly basis for coffee and lunch , food can be a bit expensive at times but is good quality as is their coffee, they serve wine and Prosecco if you are not driving ,

Dropped in today with my other half, it was very quiet and peaceful, the Full English I had was amazing, and so was my partners salmon & eggs. Highly recommend visiting, the decor is fabulous 🙌🏻

Meet my friend here for breakfast and a catch up. Good breakfast vibe and decent cuppa. Spend a while here but never rushed. Nice and comfy

Visited and had to wait 20 minutes just for some toast when it arrived it was smothered in half a pound of butter (I actually thought it was cheese on toast!) it was impossible to scrape off and therefore impossible to eat. Surely it is the customers choice as to how much butter they put on the toast? Staff weren’t friendly or helpful and didn’t apologise for the delay. Certainly wouldn’t go back.

Our Family enjoyed an excellent lunch here, parking and facilities good, near to the town. Food and coffee good value, well prepared and presented. We have been several times since it opened and have always been happy with the meal

Been here a few times. Today we had breakfast, my dad had a full English which looked amazing, I had the most amazing scrambled eggs on toast. Delicious!

Called in for a snack lunch, great food and great coffee. Went back for a breakfast a few days later. Has a good varied menu, fully recommend. Very friendly staff.

Lovely ice cream sundaes from Bluebells dairy - perfect for the hot weather! Lovely coffee in a wonderfully modern and relaxed environment. Lots of choices for lunch too - remember to look at the specials board.

Everything about this coffee shop is great. Great drinks, great cakes, pastries and ice cream. Even unicorns (in the hot chocolate)! Lovely atmosphere and friendly service. Best of all, it's not Costa...

Nice little coffee shop with great coffee. Have been here a few times for coffee and on the odd occasion for food and I've never had any complaints. Good quick service from friendly staff. A couple of car parks (one next door, one over the road) and a bus route right outside make the location in the centre of Stapleford town and ideal location. We would visit here again but the lack of atmosphere doesn't make or top 10 coffee shops to visit.

Whilst visiting Wollaton Hall, we decided to try out the Sanctuary Coffee House for breakfast for a group of 9. We reserved a table, all had the full English breakfast with lattes/milkshakes and I can't find a single fault with the breakfasts - the food was exceptional, great value, the lattes were delicious and warm, and the milkshakes were great, especially the unicorn!

This is such a welcome addition to Stapleford. The coffee is great; the right temperature, not bitter and in big enough cups (but not buckets!)

This coffee house sets a good impression as soon as you walk in. It is warm and welcoming and the decor is very attractive. I took my Dad in for lunch and it was even busy on a cold and wet Wednesday in Febraury. The sandwiches we had were lovely and we both got an individual pots of tea. (Impressed with the size of teapot as often they are tiny). The service was prompt and friendly. I can't fault the place and will return when next in the area.

Called in today for the first time, the place is lovely, the meal we had was lovely as was the coffee, however the cakes were something special, the chocolate peanut flapjack and the bakewell slice were heavenly!!!

Lovely and unique coffee shop. Great to see that the place was nearly full, even on a Thuraday lunchtime. We had a good light lunch of quiche and chips, which was delicious. The coffee was perfect, especially the flat white. The cakes for dessert were also excellent. Very convenient parking in the adjacent public car park, which is free for an hour. Highly recommended.

I love visiting this place the food is amazing and the staff are very friendly. Even the cost is relative to the quality of the food and coffee it has amazing choice and menu is very varied!

came for an early lunch, the place is lovely very spacious with comfortable seating, menu is maybe a bit limited but what we had we loved. can be lacking in atmosphere when quiet but the place is genuinely very nice. has a nice local homemade feel about things. staff were nice and would definitely come back.

The food and cakes are all very good but I really do have to point out that the flat white coffee is just not up to scratch. Watch some YouTube videos and practice. Please. Destroying a beautiful coffee ain’t going to win you any friends guys. Also, get a temperature gauge. It’s just too hot! Could do better...

We had breakfast here both mornings during out short stay in the area. The food was fabulous, plentiful and freshly cooked. Reasonable too. Staff couldn't have been more helpful.

This is a lovely coffee shop and the food and drinks are top class. It has a really nice atmosphere, the staff are helpful and friendly and I really enjoy having lunch here. It used to be a fabulous restaurant and is still run by the same family, hence the high standards and attention to detail. I have brought quite a few different friends here and they have all been impressed.

Great coffee shop with probably the best coffee in Stapleford. Much better than chain coffee shops, as the building and style is more individual. Lovely range of cakes. Fast and pleasant service. Light and airy room in the window. Convenient parking. Great for a quick break.

I've visited The Sanctuary a few times for breakfast in the last few months with friends. It is clean, modern, light and airy with a great menu choice and reasonably priced. The staff are welcoming and friendly. Parking was £1 for two hours in the nearby car park, a bargain. Can't wait for my next visit.

My friend & I went to the Pudding Night event on 27 July and had a fab evening. The staff were all so friendly and lovely. It was £18.95 a ticket and with that you got a light meal, a glass of prosecco and tasting of as much cake as you wanted!

We just had a pot of tea but got my 2 year old granddaughter a baby chino and a cookie. The baby chino was only 50p! Such good value. Although we didn't 'eat cake' there was a great selection to choose from had we wanted too. The lunch menu looked very good value - I'll be going again for sure!

Visited The Sanctuary for the first time after reading good reviews and was not disappointed. Wonderful food, great atmosphere and they were happy to accommodate a fussy eater! Will definitely be returning.

The Sanctuary is very well decorated with modern clean decor and well set out, background music is so relaxing. Menu is quite small which I love but with plenty of choice. Good cup of coffee and loved the way the bacon butty bread was slightly toasted but it could have done with a tad more bacon filling. Service was quick and friendly, well worth a visit.

First visit after the restaurant closed and was not disappointed in the change over. Comfortable ,cosy and the right ambiance. Food tempting and tasty. Will not be a stranger......

First visited under duress 11th May 2017 for my best friend's Birthday! I'd been to the venue time and time again when it was a reasonably posh-ish restaurant but had never visited in the months since it had transformed into a cafe so didn't really have high hopes! However I've been at least three more times in the 3 weeks between then and today (29th May 2017) and it has fast become my place of choice! I've been with a number of different people and everyone I've taken has also been extremely impressed! Even from the first visit I was made to feel really welcome and the ladies who work there really can't do enough for you. Being a lover of cold coffee they bent over backwards to try different ways to make it for me! However I seem to have now settled on the unicorn frappuccino which really is very nice and is like a dessert in a glass!! They have a number of different quality ice creams and these are also used to make the unicorn milkshakes which are great for kids - young and old!! The menu is actually quite extensive with toasties, jacket potatoes, paninis, quiches, hot meals such as fish and chips and pie and chips, soup and daily specials. N.B. the chips are to die for!! A very tastefully decorated restaurant complete with a very blingy and sparkly chandelier! Small public pay and display car park right next to it. ACCESSIBILITY: the restaurant is flat and even with a disabled toilet on the same level (general toilets up a flight of stairs) and as it's alongside a public car park it's ideal for wheelchairs and other mobility aids. Also worth noting you can use your disabled "blue badge" in this car park and get free parking which means you can afford an extra piece of cake!! Take a trip, you shouldn't be disappointed

We used to visit this establishment when it was a restaurant and were sorry to learn that it had changed to a cafe. However, we were pleasantly surprised to find that it still has a lunch menu and the fish and chips we had were superb. Also, their home-made soups are a treat and overall we were most taken with the service, although at busy times one has to be patient!

Upon entry we got a weak, insincere greeting from staff, they rushed us to take our order despite no one else waiting, ran out of only veggie panini filling first thing on a monday morning (ran out or just didnt take of board...hmm?) and had a poor selection of cheap tea bags. However they did offer diary free milk which was nice. Lady who served my tea (I chose not to eat) was uninterested and not very positive. Shame because everyone speaks highly of this place, but I shall not return.

Clean, friendly, free wi fi and cheap parking around the corner. Enjoyable time there with no rush and plenty of space.

Great coffee, and a good selection of food. I had a home made fruit scone that was very tasty. We will be back to try more of the menu.

Excellent coffee and hot chocolate. We also had delicious pastries and rocky road cakes. Will try lunch next time. Easily the best environment for a coffee shop in the area.

What a lovely family meal we had after school last week - beautiful food well presented and lots of friendly, helpful staff. It's a bit sad we've lost our grown up restaurant, but lovely we can now eat out with the kids at 5 when lots of places aren't open yet. They have a toy box, kids menu and ice cream bar- what's not to love!

Stapleford has gone upmarket with this lovely cafe/bar near the Roach. The Sanctuary looks good inside and out. The staff were really nice. The rejig of the interior(it used to be the Creme restaurant) works. It is light and airy. The coffee and cakes I ordered were tasty and well presented by the staff. The seating and tables are smart and functional. No hesitation of going back there soon. Good luck to them.

Popped into the Sanctuary coffee shop this afternoon. Lovely contemporary decor. Friendly talkative staff. Coffee was very smooth and flavoursome. Menu was varied and I noticed very reasonable prices. Will try some food next time. Thank you Sanctuary.

The Sanctuary was known as La Creme but is now a coffee shop, serving breakfast, snacks and delicious cakes. it is a nice environment to meet friends and family. The Sanctuary is situated near the crossroads/traffic lights at Stapleford, a small car park is situated at the side of the building.

Local people have always known this as a restaurant but recently it has revamped itself as a cafe. The decor is tasteful and relaxing, the chairs comfortable and the service excellent. Their fish and chips are about as good as one can get locally and the atmosphere is friendly and intimate. An ideal place to pop into for a snack and a chat.
