The Best Cafes in Leicestershire, United Kingdom (2025)

Try it, it’s good! After a couple of visits, this one of my favourites, located in the beautiful Outwoods, this place is very popular with walkers (with or without dogs), complete with prompt service, delicious food, good cakes. The place welcomes you with the bar on entry, the coffee is fresh, the food is tasty, friendly staff are on point, keeping the place clean and moving smoothly. This is a dog friendly cafe, so you can bring them inside. The floors are hardy so muddy boots are allowed in bad weather. Free self service water is available when required. For kids, there’s a small park just outside, and in summer the outdoor seating will keep you in the scenery. A lot of cafes could learn from this place.

Can't fault it at all. Coffee is strong and served at right temperature. Cakes are to die for and you probably would if you had too many of the delicious Cruffins (muffin/croissant). Go in when working on site for some reasonably priced refreshment and to meet all the lovely dogs. Friendly staff always attentive, free drinking water, plenty of seating inside and out and quite clean to say its in the woods and full of walkers, dogs and dirty boots. Great place to relax after a walk around the Outwoods. Last visit included a great breakfast of sourdough, scrambled egg and lime pickle avacado😋

Really nice cafe. Tasty (& some massive!!) pastries on offer, decent coffee. It's not cheap but it is yummy and I love how dog friendly they are. A great place to visit if you're walking in the Outwoods or Beacon Hill.
