“ Went for a quick hot drink while exploring. Very polite team behind the counter - warm and smiley! Although I didn't eat, I could see from the counter that food was being made freshly to order for others. Nice atmosphere and plenty of tables with a mix of people studying and general public. Very clean! Including the toilets - with products for women which is a nice touch! ”
“ Fantastic atmosphere and vibe a little away from the business of the city centre. There is space to work or relax and the food and drink options are extensive and delightful. ”
“ We had a lovely lunch with friends. Food was really tasty and good portions. Great selection of traybakes and hot drinks. Really love the idea of the food waste meals and the profits going to support those in need. ”
“ Lovely cafe and definitely one of my favourites in Leicester. Really good coffee and love that they had dark chocolate flakes to the frothy cappuccino, rather than sugary chocolate powder. Vegan toasted sandwich is really good too, the perfect lunchtime pit stop. ”

“ This is a small cafe adjacent to the Church, which it is also involved with. There are also food waste and homeless initiatives run by this cafe. The staff at this cafe are very friendly, warm and hospitable. They are great fun to talk to. Ended up having a long conversation about Christianity with one of them. I had a Cookie Dough Bite for 1.65. It was sweet and delicious! ”
“ Great coffee shop close to centre of Leicester. Has a good lunch menu. I had toasted sandwich which was great with crisps and salad. Is run by volunteers and all profits go to good causes. Lots of space inside to sit. ”
