Leicester is home to an array of cafés across the city centre, ranging from atmospheric independent cafés to historic tea rooms. If you’re craving a hot mug of warm, steaming coffee, dying for a cuppa and cake or are looking for a relaxed lunch spot, we've got just the place for you.
For a relaxed atmosphere in impressive surroundings, Mrs Bridges Tearooms is the place to go. A Leicester institution, the tearoom is set in a historic building dating back to 1723. Mrs Bridges offer so much more than their famous traditional afternoon tea – with a complete menu of hot and cold options including sandwiches, pasta dishes and mouth-watering cakes.
Other choices in the city centre include Café Mbriki, which serves up a range of Cypriot inspired food options, and, for those who need a late night fix, the popular Bru is open until late. Slightly further afield is the King Lock Tearooms, where you can enjoy peace and quiet along with your drink in the middle of Aylestone Meadows Nature Reserve – certainly worth the trip!
For those who are serious about their coffee there are many specialist independent coffee shops importing and freshly roasting the finest quality coffee, including The Coffee Counter and St Martin’s Coffee.
So if you’ve yet to discover the city’s café culture it’s time to wake up and smell the coffee! For a light lunch, indulgent cake or quick coffee, you’ll find the perfect place for your swift pit-stop or leisurely lunch in Leicester.
