The Topiary Coffee Shop in Cheshire West and Chester

Sandwich very nice, accompanying salad had a strongly flavoured dressing. I prefer salad without. Wasn't asked whether or not I wanted dressed salad. Chips nice, but could have been a little hotter. Big queues at busy times. Hot drinks need to come with meal. I'd finished my coffee before the sandwich turned up. 1 star atmosphere - it's a garden centre cafe not a nightclub. Also very noisy from conversations, so not good for those who get stressed with noise. Though there is sheltered seating outside the cafe where it's a lot quieter. This is an ok place, though could do with a wider choice of vegan desserts.

Suggest an average experience. Breakfast of scrambled egg on toast overpriced, like most eateries. Certain times you will have to wait in line as service is slow

Excellent food and service. Staff are lovely. We go for breakfast as our Monday morning treat.

A great place to eat or have a brew and a slice of cake

Very friendly staff and a lovely spacious cafe.

Great coffee, cakes and friendly service

Very nice for a catch up with friends. The food was good, if not quite what was ordered.

Extensive stock, including aquariums and tropical fish. Cafe.

Great service, really helpful staff, a young chap could see me looking confused searching for Mayo and he came straight over to ask if I was OK (sorry I didn't catch his name). Love this kind of proactivity! Food was yummy.

Very busy cafe but service was good and quick. Staff very nice.

Lovely food and a fabulous selection of cakes.

Very busy on a Sunday morning but very nice visit all the same

WOW called in for a quick coffee plus and can honestly say the place was heaving must be the half term holiday as lots of grans and grandchildren but even so 5stars all round.

Very good and quiet earlier in the morning too.

We have always loved the restaurant but we visited in very early Jan 2024 and were served with filthy cups, teapots and milk jugs. I had my cup replaced as I wasn't going to drink out of it. The manager tried to blame the teapot stains on the tea we had spilled but we only had hot water in them to put our fruit tea bags in later. When I poured the milk out of the jug the inside was covered in black mould stains but the manager refused to accept that it was unhygienic and just kept saying it had been through the dishwasher and did not apologise. There is no way the place would get through a hygiene inspection and we won't be using that restaurant any more.

Good for a snack or something more substantial.

Good especially cakes are a little expensive

Relaxing lunch break while browsing the large nursery and store

6 of us had lunch here today. 5 of us had our food brought to the table and 1 of us had to wait nearly 10 minutes for theirs. Spoke to waitress and she said they were just preparing it for him. Several people were served the meat pie, which he was waiting for, whilst he waited. When it eventually arrived all the waitress said was 'enjoy'. We burst out laughing at the cheek. No apology for their tardiness. Disgusting.

Very busy but staff managed well. Good hot breakfast.

Clean tidy and good selection of food and drinks.

A lovely big garden centre with all your gardening needs. A miniature train station for the children and adults to ride on.

Do enjoy visiting this cafe. We often use it as a meeting place for family get togethers.

Nice food, reasonably priced, but service can be slow.

Better than your average garden centre. Quick service

Food lovely Coffee lovely Very busy from 12 noon but queue is fairly fast moving. It is slightly confusing over which queue to join, as one queue was for food plus drink and the other side drinks only. We wanted both, so we were asked to queue on one side for food ordering, then the other for our drinks once our food was ordered.... but further up the food queue when ready to pay we were asked would we like drinks? (Which we specified at the beginning that we did)...bit confusing in all the ordering part.

We keep returning! Food choices are great. Breakfast served until 11.30am then lunches. Plenty of desserts for after. Not keen on the Rivingtons tea, the service can be a bit slow, but worth the wait. Lovely setting with lots of tables.

Thought we would have a nice light lunch whilst visiting High Legh garden centre-- which has been really nice in the past, but don't know what's happened of late-- tuna and cheese toastie was so dry, I nearly choked!! Complained and second one just as bad!! Bowl of soup for my husband came in a tiny coffee cup and without any bread- and large coffees (supposedly, or allegedly) ridiculously small for the cost, ( nice coffee though). Spent £30 -- never again!! They need to up their game to compete!! And quite a few diners were moaning as well. Come on management-- get your act together!! It WAS our favourite place to shop and eat!! 😲

Good food options busy cafe nice helpful staff

Like area as long as people good 👍

Excellent food and service, friendly, relaxed atmosphere, plenty of space between tables.

Though it was close to closing the staff very helpful Cakes very fresh

Busy but very quick service. Well staffed. Some good options on the menu. Breakfast menu finishes at 11, incidentally.

Gets very busy. Although nice food n drink

Very attentive staff. Tasty food.

Lovely coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating

Good service. Good choice of food. Comfortable seating arrangements with plenty of space!

Fantastic food and drink.. Garden centre a fairytale dream

Food was very tasty and the place is very clean and comfortable. Part of a garden centre which is very classy and all worth visit.

Very nice pot of tea and cake. Pleasant surroundings well worth a visit.

Sorry worst Coffee ever tasted, burnt pie, but lovely chips.

Great food and reasonably priced too. Staff lovely and coffee ship very clean. Highly recommended if in the area.

Really nice soup and an extra portion of lovely crispy chips 😋

Food lovely, and staff delightful, but the server on the drinks counter was left woefully on her own. She dealt with customers with grace but she should have had support.

Love this garden centre and cafe. Lovely, friendly staff and fab cakes! Thanks!

Gardwn centre ok. Coffee is rubbish.

Food was lovely and so was there customer service

If this is just a coffee shop it's one of the best I've been to

Nice area for eating lunch dogs can stay with you in outside area

Large garden centre - something for everyone. Nice coffee house & snacks.

Sunday roast lunch turkey first class

Poor selection of cakes so chose a scone which was dry,crumbly &although a fruit scone it had 3 currants in it.The tea when pouring ,trickled on the table.Scones & sandwich cake was all uncovered. Sadly there was an atmosphere around the till staff.We have been regular customers for many years & since the end of covid close down find the food is disappointing & a menu lacking in choice .

Had a breakfast nothing spectacular.

Good coffee and cake but despite more than enough staff I’ve seen glaciers that move quicker than the queue in front - which was only two!

We thought we'd give it another try & were pleased to enjoy a better experience this time. It wasn't busy, so we successfully received our order. Good food at a good price with excellent service.

Gorgeous cup of tea and pecan pie. 😁🌟😁

Stopped by to work on a laptop. Tried to stay out of way but twice got approached by staff - first waitress then later security, all while minding my own business. I intended to stop for coffee and lunch in my own time but was consistently hurried to do this on their timescale, despite the place being only half full. Felt very unwanted! Odd feeling. Food and drink was fine, experience was not!

Really good garden centre. Worth a visit.

Can't give it any more due to the very long time it took from ordering to receiving the meals,which were nice enough tbh

Great for coffee and cake s and a day out

Nice garden centre just to walk round even if you dont buy anything, just go for a coffee and cake.

Nice and quiet when we visited staff were very friendly.

Lovely place to visit .went on the little train ride, the area could do with a bit more of a tidy up. Garden centre amazing ,so much to look @ a massive amount of garden plants of many varitetes! High class place for High legh!

I had scrambled egg and Bacon on toasted sour dough bread it was really nice the staff were friendly

Lovely pot of tea and very reasonably priced.

Lovely coffee but service a bit slow

Great Quality Food and Coffee, very friendly Staff good Quality Products thank you Tony, Margaret, Kath.

Very nice latte and comfy chairs busy cafe but friendly.

Slow service, down to the very slow barista. Not great food. Watched one poor guy, obviously out for Sunday lunch, get served a Yorkshire pudding so burnt it was black. Our cakes weren't great. Wouldn't return

Very pleasant shopping experience. Huge range of beautiful products. Nice restaurant and food. Clean, well set out store. Would definitely recommend for day out and gift choices.

Not a big fan, met a friend, always queues which puts me off to start with. The calorie counts by the drinks menu does nothing to enhance the experience. Staff nice and friendly though.

Not been here before, was surprised how big the inside was. Fabulous amounts of items to buy not just every day things ,Beautiful gifts to buy, and lots of things for children. They av a great resturant food & drinks nicely priced, we had dinner enjoyed every mouthful.waitresses Amazing very friendly & helpful. We will certainly come again and next time bring the familly. Well worth the drive from Stoke on trent.

We had lunch here. Lovely fresh sandwiches with salad and plenty of coleslaw. We were tempted by a portion of chips between us. They were delicious. Really enjoyed it. The only downside is we think the regular latte should be bigger for the price. The cafe is lovely and big and staff friendly. Also the scones were lovely

Picture is not relevant to the coffee, but let me tell you, I was surprised. First of all by whole garden centre, and shortly after by good coffee and dessert in coffee shop. Place was huge (for at least hundred people), clean and well organised with lovely view over back garden. Membership even offer some free hot drinks.

Everything clean and tidy with plenty of seating inside. Coffee really good. Comfortable covered outside tables and seating available for those with dogs. Carrot cake moist and tasty, but pricey at £3-50 a slice!

Lovely food! Was awhile waiting for our food but can not fault the food at all lovely presentation 😇

Well spaced seating and good choice of meals

Choice of lunch did not have enough variety

Excellent lovely venue and nice people 🙂

Always a pleasure to visit here, quality food at a reasonable price.

Nice spacious cafe with good food and friendly service.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, good choice of food & cakes, they do nice scones but unfortunately its not served with clotted cream, which is very disappointing.

Lots of seating even at busy times. Food and drink prices reasonable.

Shared breakfast with friends . Very good.

Great illy coffee and brilliant cakes

Fantastic little cafe inside th High Legh garden centre. Loads of seating, courtyard and Indoors. Decent menu, although it's a cafe, so don't go expecting restaurant food. Think M&S cafe, online clean, fresh and bright. Best tied in with a visit to the vast garden centre.

Been for lunch or coffee a few times with parent always good, can take a while for food when busy.

Very nice, clean and good service would have been 5 stars but no toilet facilities!!! 😐

Loved going through and seeing all the beautiful things!!!

Very clean place and always enjoy going there

Very nice place clean and safe also staff are very Good and helpful

Plenty of space out under cover or inside. Nice food

Helpful friendly staff clean restaurant good food can recommend the steak sandwich very tasty

Lovely place . Restaurant quite expensive

Lovely food in restaurant. Something for all ages now

A lovely garden centre plus an aquarium shop, clothes section, beautiful gift ideas and much more plus a delightful coffee shop and restaurant.

Nice place and food was nice friendly staff as well

Warm an friendly good service food really good

It was good today. Nice food and coffee, and a wide range of general garden centre things. Has a good fish and aquarium section.

No social distancing anywhere . Very few masks worn. All markings on the floor for 2 meters are gone. Restaurant tables to close together...I will not be going there again.
