The Willow Tree Cafe in Cheshire West and Chester

Perhaps a little noisy for me but generally this is an excellent place to visit. Recommend anyone has a visit

Excellent service. But doesn't do eggs with their breakfast, Hot chocolate and latte were very good,

Excellent food and competitively priced. Brilliant staff and would highly recommend a visit.

Lovely place have been many times and akways very nice and the service first class 5 stars

Always friendly and happy service. Lovely food and great atmosphere.

Changed name to Petals, CLOSED when we turned up on a Wednesday

We vitit this cafe most weekends for breakfast and never dissapointed with our choice off the varied menu. Love the quirky utensils and complimentary biscuits with drinks. Lisa and her team are always so cheerful and as a bonus I take a peek around the adjoined shop full of lovely goods whilst waiting for our food.

Lovely cafe and staff are kind very helpful 😊

First time to this great little cafe in Frodsham based in the garden centre. Great food, great prices, and with a nice gift shop behind it

This lovely small garden centre and cafe gave us (and our dogs) a genuinely warm welcome. The cafe is simple, good value and manages to feel like a little oasis of calm. All the staff were helpful and knowledgeable. We thoroughly recommend this little unpretentious gem.

Lovely place with great quality food & friendly service. The food arrived quickly and portion sizes were good & great value too. This was our second visit & we will definitely be going back in the future.

Really pleasant, decent food and drink, well presented, good service.

Huge bacon and sausage butties! Lovely coffee to in a nice, cosy area. Staff are fab.

Brilliant little garden cafe. Great choice of bites to eat and the specials looked amazing. Wish I had time for a cake 🥰 Definitely worth a visit when you are in the area

Staff where rely nice and friendly

Great stop for tea/coffee and cake in pleasant surroundings just off the motorway.

A group of 8 of us had lunch here yesterday. We had paninis, toasties and a salad, all the food was very fresh and tasty. We all commented as we were eating how nice it was. Reasonably priced. Cakes looked lovely too. Very happy and will definately return, thank you and well done on running a lovely little cafe :-) x

Fabulous - lovely food and really nice staff in a superbly quaint environment. The garden centre has every thing a gardener could possibly need and lovely litle gift shop to peruse - definately worth visiting.

Simply wonderful, very welcoming great tasting food and the service was 10/10. The two lovely ladies working today couldn't do enough for us. I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast and my fussy children loved it two. The place is immaculate including the toilets. Literally can't fault it. Well done guys the place is a credit too you 👏

Amazing food, friendly staff, overall great experience

Great location and good choice worth a visit if in the area

Brilliant service, lovely outside area. Gluten free bread and plant based ice cream available, too.

r wonderfulgood value nice food

Bit of a wait but nice cheese toastie

Lovely outdoor space, friendly staff and great home cooked food! Perfect for families. And the homemade soups are gorgeous!

Pleasant outdoor seating, freshly cooked food and staff are lovely

Lovely little cafe with outdoor seating. Good food and friendly staff.

Very pleasant staff, very clean

The food is great, the staff are lovely.

This lovely little cafe with its friendly staff and cosy atmosphere has been our refuge over the last few months, while we had to wait for one of our dogs to have chemo at the local vets. They welcomed us, including our other dog with tasty food and hot tea. Oh and biscuits for the pooch. Highly recommended. PS we bought garden pots as well

Great breakfast. Enjoyed very much.

Love this place, the food is good and staff really friendly, use it often and never disappointed.

Had a lovely Christmas Dinner, the food was well made and the staff were fantastic

Absolutely excellent cafe. Would totally recommend it. It’s like a home from home atmosphere with the staff welcoming you like a family member they love to see. The food is cooked as you wait and well worth the wait. 5 star standards. Disabled friendly and with the personal touch to make sure my wheelchair has plenty of space. Well done willow tree 😍😍😍

Amazing food as always, very good value for money and friendly helpful service!

We visited here recently and were not disappointed. The baked potato with cheese filling was delicious, as was the pot of tea served with it. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the overall atmosphere of the place was very pleasant. Very good value for money. Highly recommended.

Lovely food but a tiny bit expensive for what you get

A baked potato and a lighter breakfast with a pot of tea for two at less than £18 . Smiles all round ! Well cooked and friendly service. Once again, top notch.

🤗😍lovely atmosphere,lovely staff🤗Thank u Very yummy hommade food 🍲🍲🥘🥘🥘🥘🍝🍝🍝🍰🎂🎂🎂

I have always enjoyed the food here. Unusually have gone for the lighter breakfast and seen here with sausage sandwich. Great taste and good value. Food is cooked fresh

30 mins wait for food, bacon was still oinking after asking for it crispy. Eggs were solid, cold beans,

Just called in to the Willow tree for breakfast. Two lighter breakfasts and tea for two, with a couple of extras, less than £ 15 . Where can you get this kind of value these days , with superb well cooked food and friendly service? Absolutely top notch . We're becoming regulars !

Great breakfast and super service 👍 Food was piping hot and plentiful, The cafe is always spotless, and the staff welcoming and pleasant Well worth a visit if your in the area 👍

I have been a regular reviewer on trip advisor for years. But the place I use more than anywhere is this, but have never thought of posting anything about it. It is without the best value for money place around. From the biggest breakfast, to great soup and toasties, and superb home made cake. Great staff, great set up, and you can buy some plants on the way out. See you soon Colin and Kathy

This cafe is set in a pleasant garden centre. We had the big breakfast and pot of tea which was all very nice, but why do they give customers Smarties with their tea. Most odd!

Good selection nice surroundings, ideal for cuppa and snack after looking around garden centre, helpful staff.

Beautiful little cafe with amazing all day breakfast. Friendly service and nice garden center to enjoy the sunshine. Give it a try!

Met here with family as a midway point after reading reviews on trip. Was not disappointed, was made to feel welcome by everyone, from the garden centre to the cafe. The staff at the cafe were very polite and went that little further in making your visit more enjoyable. The food was fresh very tasty and reasonably priced. Will definately be back again on the future.

We stopped here for a cuppa and cake. They did peppermint tea and hubby had a hot chocolate, we also had a slice of lemon drizzle cake - which for the price was small but it was lovely. Overall we payed more or less £10, yet in Chester we paid £8 for 2 hot drinks & a large Danish pastry. Too expensive, we should've stopped in Frodsham again cheaper! Won't be back.

Lovely food and staff. Great to take food away also. Been many a time and never disappointed. Would recommended to all.

Our WI hired the Willow Tree for our Christmas party and the food was superb. Good variety, delicious and plentiful. Can highly recommend the catering and the staff are so pleasant and friendly.

Nice little cafe, generous proportions. Had the meal deal with a drink, panini and piece of cake for 9 quid, can't go wrong. I had sausage, onion and cheese panini, excellent. My wife had sweet chilli chicken panini, gorgeous. The cakes are super sweet and tasty. Place is nice and warm and clean, the staff are friendly and helpful. Best of all its dog friendly inside a pleasant conservatory called "the dog house"

Driven past this “hidden gem” many times without taking much notice.

Amazed by the quality and value of the food here the panini meal deal almost feels like stealing extra £1 for cake and j2o untill you realise they're selling j2o for only £1.50 cheapest I've ever seen it at.both meals were excellent

This is a great café situated in a Garden Centre. Really good menu for a small café. Recently extended and a small outdoor area. Friendly staff, fast service, good food and excellent coffee!

What and amazing place. Great food, great people/staff and great little off set location. A gem of a find.

A bank holiday Monday morning treat before a day of DIY and gardening. The full breakfast will get you through the day guaranteed and at £7.99 with coffee it's a bargain. I had cheese on toast which was fabulous and very filling and served with a smile.The staff are really helpful and very genuine. Took a nice takeaway cake home for afternoon treat. Hubbie went next door to the garden centre for the plants.

Visited the garden centre and this wonderful little cafe numerous times over the past few years... and we are never disappointed - delicious food served by warm and friendly staff. Would highly recommend!

What a lovely cafe and dog friendly too! Had plenty of vegetarian options (for me, not the dog 🙂), and great breakfasts too. They brought a big bowl of fresh water for our dog and there were treats available too.

We were looking for a nice place to stop off the M56 and so we come here based on the good reviews. It was very nice and good value at £30 for 3 people.

Called for lunch, and was very pleased that we did so, very good selection of meals to order from the menu. Service was quick and the staff very helpful. The café is a good size with tables both inside and outside to choose from. Parking is no problem plenty of spaces.

My partner and I plus other members of our family absolutely love the willow cafe. The breakfasts are amazing aswell as other foods they serve. Staff are very friendly. ❤❤❤

Visited while they were experiencing a power cut, so no hot food or hot drinks available. Sandwiches and cold drinks were lovely though and staff were friendly and welcoming. Will definitely return.

Just finished a lovely breakfast at the willow tree. Two adult and a child's breakfast big pot of tea for under £18 and it was lovely. Great service, great food and a beautiful setting. Will be definitely be back.

Excellent cafe. Brought my friend here with dementia. The food they offer is fantastic. Delicious and very reasonable. Staff are really cheery and so helpful. Great atmosphere and after eating you can have a wonder round the garden centre. Perfect afternoon.

You have to know where it is ... because the chances of accidentally stumbling across the Willow Tree Cafe are fairly remote.

We visited here with our 3 year old grand daughter and they made us feel so welcome. She was given crayons and a colouring sheet. All of the food was freshly cooked and very tasty. Will definitely come again. Reasonably priced. Also added bonus of being able to look round the well stocked garden centre. All staff are very friendly.

Excellent service and food. Recommending it to all my guests who stay at the Warren Spa. Food was plenty and well cooked. Staff very chatty and happy.

I’d left my packed lunch at home and had a spare hour en route between work stops. The staff were very friendly and gave me a very good value panini with coleslaw. Spoilt for choice as some of the specials sounded fabulous. WiFi available so I whiled away my hour very happily. Great little find.

This is a lovely cafe. Food is amazing. You wait a while but it’s all home cooked to order. Well worth the wait. Staff are very friendly, but there is one member of staff that lets it down a little. She is so slow and forgetful full. We have been a few times now and when she’s on we know that’s it’s not at its best. But when she’s off the rest of the team are great friendly people who couldn’t do enough to make sure we are enjoying our selfs. Great with children. Lovely atmosphere

I had a bowl of mushroom/stilton soup with one slice of whole meal bread £5 and when you hear the microwave ping,you think packet or frozen. £5 is over the top yes make a profit, but that is much for what you get. Nice people, nice food.

Great food, good prices, lovely staff. Come here often and will keep on coming. Good to wander round the garden centre as well.

Came with daughter on a Sunday morning. Impressed with the food we ate. Nice cakes and helpful staff. The drinks are a bit expensive but par for the course I suppose.

Called in with my daughter and granddaughter for lunch after spending the morning shopping in the local area. It's only a small cafe but we had the choice of eating either outside or inside. The menu was quite simple and reasonably priced, however we chose the meal deal which was exceptional value and consisted of a choice of sandwiches, complete with salad and garnish, a slice of cake or homemade scone and served with either a cup of tea or coffee, all-in-all very tasty and served by pleasant and friendly staff. We will definitely come back now that we have found this little gem!

This is a café within a garden centre and my wife and I thought we would try it and wow...

Estábamos buscando un lugar para comer fuera de la M56. Google nos dio direcciones a este café. El menú es bastante sencillo, la comida se puede esperar de un café jardín pero es extremadamente bien ejecutados. Los sándwiches y hamburguesas eran abundantes y muy sabrosos....

A menudo hemos pasado este salón de té y siempre nos dijo que llamaría en "un día". Finalmente lo hicimos. Tiene un menú limitado, pero un buen menú, con comida sabrosa, y tiene preciosa casa tartas caseras. Desde entonces hemos llamado unas cuantas veces para disfrutar de una tarde taza. El personal es muy amable y hará todo lo posible por ayudar. Sin duda lo recomendaría. También hay una zona cubierta para comer fuera. Los inodoros están junto al Café pero tienes que ir fuera, pero hay un wc/bebé cambiadores.

Fabulous food, friendly staff, great cafe. Enjoyed a lovely family breakfast today sat in the sunshine. Highly recommend a visit.

Perfect place for a casual lunch. Food excellent. Stocks gluten free bread so choice for husband was superb. Our first visit but we will definitely be back. Great outside area for good weather. It was Market Day so we booked. A few notices reminding customers to order at the counter would be useful. We didn't notice that on the menus.

This out of the way, hidden gem has delicious food. It's off the main road into Frodsham. We had the chicken curry, rice and popadoms, tea and coffee. All staff were extremely helpful and couldn't do enough for us. It's well worth a visit but keep in mind they close at 4pm.

We stayed at the holiday inn in Runcorn on Friday night and after a very dissapointing meal in the restaurant on Friday night we decided to eat out on Saturday morning.So we checked trip advisor and found the willow tee cafe was very close by and had received excellent reviews .We were not dissapointed.Had an excellent home cooked breakfast with excellent service.Would totally recommended this place.

another excellent lunch at the Willow Tree Cafe. Superb chilli wedges. Thanks Mike , Jo and Shannon.

Wow, what a find this was! We stopped here for a bite to eat after taking our dog for a walk in a nearby park. This was only the second time that we have visited a cafe with our dog and it was so nice that we were welcomed so openly. Scrumpy was made to feel welcome with a little bag of dog biscuits dropped off at our table for him and bowls of water already set up outside! It is this sort of exceptional service that makes you want to return to a place. We felt so relaxed sitting outside enjoying our toasted sandwiches, cake and tea. The meal deal was excellent value for money. We will definitely return here and will recommend this cafe and garden centre to all of our friends. Thank you for making us feel so welcome.

Fantastic sandwiches, generous fillings with a side salad, delicious dressing and really tasty coleslaw. Love this cafe!

We have been before and had hot chocolate, very nice indeed. This time we also had lunch. It was very nice and we really enjoyed it. The price was reasonable too. Certainly recommend it.

We visit here regularly and always have a good meal. They have gluten free bread options for the sandwiches and also serve gluten free cakes. The service is good and staff always friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Dropper in here for a coffee it was nice and cosy so stayed and had a burger it was excellent all food is cooked fresh, the place was clean and cosy

This was a nice cafe. Friendly staff and great food. Breakfast was delicious and a reasonable price.

Stopped in after a hefty shop at the adjacent garden centre, and it was the highlight of the day. Friendly staff who were very attentive throughout our stay. Menu is standard fare, with the added bonus of a daily special which varies from a posh sandwich right through to a Moroccan Tagine chicken dish. Really well done for the variety. We only ordered a panini on this occasion with a couple of coffees and although we waited a little while, as everything is freshly cooked for you, you can't have any complaints when the quality of the food was like it was: spectacular. It's a place we'll definitely visit again, and the decor reminds of both an old English tea shop, and an American diner, of which they had a child and this is the result. No photos of the place, too busy eating, but I enclosed a photo of a purchase made opposite lol sorry!

Great menu including vegetarian and gluten free. We had the best tasting cheese and tomato and ham salad sandwiches, which filled us up so much we had to ask for a doggy bag to take our cakes home. The staff were warm and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for them. We will be regular visitors from now on.

Drive passed this place alot so decided to turn off the road. Not disappointed had a lovely afternoon cream tea. Sandwich, cake and coffee all freshly made. To much but great value. Had something similar at local garden center which was obviously made prior to and was like cardboard and dry. Will be back.

We stopped on route too Cheshire oaks for breakfast and was very impressed, food was lovely and very well priced would definitely recommend

Well we were heading to wales from West Yorkshire so pre-planned a route to go here having read positive reviews, well the reviews were spot on.We parked in the builders yard opposite the garden center which is all part of the same business i believe, walked over the road into the garden center where the cafe is located.Lots of tables & benches to sit at, your order is placed at the counter and paid for.The food was brought out in good time and was piping hot, they do everything you would expect from a cafe and the food was good quality, all of our party enjoyed what they had ordered.

Sunday visit. Wonderful time with amazing hot chocolate. Food great. Great value. Definately worth a visit particularly on a sunny day xx

Called in for a drink and snack whilst buying plants and found it to be slightly better than my previous visit.

This is a most unusual and interesting place to go. I'm sure if you like pursuing around. and then a nice lunch or Dinner this Is the place t go. I have been several times and have never been dsappointed. good food , good service and fun. I highly recommend this venue . Go and enjoy.

Stumbled upon this gem through Tripadvisor and I'm so glad I did. A lovely, friendly cafe with fabulous food and service. To find a cappuccino as good as Costa is pretty darn hard but this girl knew how to get it right with a fabulous frothy top! Thank you for a very relaxing lunch with an amazing lemon drizzle scone to take away.Superb!

Great little cafe with friendly staff and plenty of gluten free options including home made bread cakes scones et all! Well worth a visit.

Quite simply the best breakfast in ages, well presented one large plates, obviously using quality ingredients, (bread from the dev etc). Clean, comfortable & well maintained surroundings, along with friendly service. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Went for lunch with my 6 and 7 year old children. Cafe provides colouring, pencils and books to read for kids so I had peace! Kids meals were good size, I had the meal deal of sandwich, tea and cake which I struggled to finish. Finished off by buying some Xmas decorations at Garden Centre here. Really lovely spot, would definitely come again.
