The Tea Press Cafe

We had a pleasant and speedy lunch here during our tour in Chester. It took a few minutes for our waitress to realize that we wanted to be seated, but there were only two people in the café. The menu had a good variety of options and our tea and sandwiches arrived promptly after we ordered. Everything was delicious. If we hadn't been in a rush, we probably would have tried one of their tempting desserts. The prices were quite reasonable and the atmosphere was charming. It was amusing to eat sandwiches under the vault. The historical information about the walls was fascinating to read. A fun spot for a quick meal.

My mother and I visited this place after a day of shopping in Chester a couple of weeks ago, and I highly recommend it for afternoon tea. Despite the price (around £7.50 per person or £14 for two), we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. We each received a prawn mayonnaise and an egg mayonnaise sandwich, a large scone with clotted cream and jam, and a selection of cakes and macaroons, all served on a tiered stand. The food was fresh and delicious, and the service was attentive and friendly. The manager even came by for a chat after we finished. Overall, it was one of the best afternoon teas I've ever had. The cafe is beautifully decorated, the timing of the service was perfect, and the price is unbeatable. I was surprised to read some negative reviews online, as our experience was fantastic. I believe they must have made some improvements. I highly recommend a visit and look forward to returning in the future.

I have visited this café a few times on trips to Chester. It is a one-of-a-kind café located in a 13th century crypt. I particularly enjoyed learning about the history of Chester through the timeline and wall plaques displayed in the café. The scones and cakes were delicious, especially the cherry slice, and the mocha was also very good. The service was prompt. Overall, it is a convenient and atmospheric spot to relax and recharge while shopping or sightseeing in Chester.

The place has had a bit of a much needed birthday! Great staff, great service, will almost certainly return!! Thank you.

Always visit when we come to Chester. Great service fantastic coffee would recommend to anyone !!
