Stephenson Coffee & Tea House

I have just been for lunch today, second visit in the last few weeks. The café is lovely, warm and friendly but I have to admit that I was a little taken aback by the price of half a bowl of potato and leek soup. delicious as it was, I felt that at a price of £4.95, the café could have offered a full bowl.

Best coffee shop in the town centre by a long way! The staff are efficient and friendly, always making you feel really welcome. The food is fantastic — really good, high quality and tasty. Great atmosphere and lovely, light rooms that are nicely decorated. Only slight issue is that its up several flights of stairs (a very impressive staircase though!) so if someone had mobility problems, they might find it tricky. Otherwise, I couldn’t fault it!

I love this place!
I was recommended by the tourist info centre and was glad I made the visit, as now everytime I visit Chesterfield be it with friends or family, this is my number one for snacks, lunch and especially the desserts: D.
As I go there as my regular outlet, I have spoken to many customers and observed as the staff cater to everyones needs, be it coeliacs, vegetarians and even vegans.
The food has fantastic presentation and such high standards are kept even when very busy. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.
All food is freshly made (and you can tell) and the coffees are exceptional, freshly ground, and prepared to your order.
The staff are keen to help with any special requests or dietary requirements and will cater to your needs and substitute any dislikes in order to make you entirely satisfied with your meal, beverage and overall experience.
I would recommend Stephensons to anybody, as they never fail to make your visit pleasant and enjoyable.
