The atmosphere is friendly and the staff are polite. There is a comfy seating area with sofas where you can relax and enjoy catching up with friends whilst enjoying a drink and a chat. There food is pretty reasonable and you can choose from a range of lunch options. They have parking available at the back which is convenient as it can be a nightmare finding parking in Hoole.

The cafe is right in the middle of Hoole's shopping district and has free parking around the back. The food is simple but well prepared and arrives nice and quick. The coffees always hit the spot and the atmosphere is always very friendly and welcoming. Service also tends to be of a good standard. The only thing I would improve about this place is the outside seating - it's great that it's got some (only a couple of tables out the back) but they look directly on to the car park and do not make for a nice environment compared to the inside.

Went here yesterday for an informal lunch meeting and was incredibly impressed. The place is…read morereally clean and nicely laid out and the staff are absolutely charming. There is also a delightful Spring inspired window display which as an ex-theatre designer I really appreciated! Apparently the owner's wife changes it seasonally. Lovely touch. I ordered a mozzarella, fresh kale and sundried tomato baguette and it was delicious. The bread was crisp on the outside and soft on the inside and the contents were so fresh - it was gorgeous. I then treated myself to a peppermint tea and a white chocolate and pistachio cookie - such an unusual and classy combo! Loved it! The *only* thing I could complain about was that the infuser for the peppermint tea leaves was a little loose so a lot of the leaves escaped into my glass but I was able to fish them out easily and the tea was lovely so I really didn't mind :-) I only wish I was based in the business district of Liverpool so I could frequent this lovely place more often. Another example of an independent business getting it just right.

The flat white was both beautiful and spot on. Way to go guys! Highly recommended.

My weekend in Chester brought me to Jaunty Goat when needing a rest from walking around the city…read more It's a small coffee / tea shop with an inviting atmosphere. I ordered a red berry cocktail loose leaf tea - which came served in a lovely tea pot and the waitress explained that my tea would be brewed by the time the egg timer ran out. Nice. Neil C. went for an Areopress coffee, which took a while, but was spot on. We had a banana cake in here too - lovely. The sandwiches and other cakes looked great. I can imagine that the jaunty goat is popular mid week too!

Very popular with local builders and workers as it is cheap. You can get everything from a full breakfast to a salad sandwich. There are far nicer places to buy a breakfast in Chester but if your looking for a cheap sausage bacon and egg butty this is as good as anywhere. I would stay away from the coffee as that isn't much good. The wait time can be quite extended at peak times as they have lots of seated area which can fill up with everyone from families to students.

Interior ambience? Modern bistro dining using the finest local suppliers. Good selection of cocktails also. Has a bowl of (warmed with paprika sprinkled on top nice touch) pistachios with my pint, followed by a good Caesar salad and Pizza. Elegantly served and tasty it was too (albeit a little on the pricey side, but then you get what you pay for)

The decor was nice and modern, and I was surprised the atmosphere was so relaxed considering how fussy the menu is. The food is good. Not mind-blowing, but tasty enough when you've got a 6 hour train journey ahead of you. I ordered a Lamb Henry, served with lentils and dauphinoise potatoes. It was full of flavour but unfortunately also tough and overcooked. Laura's margarita pizza was a bit meh, but the amaretto and cherry cake was wonderful! Overall I'd go back and give it another try but maybe stay clear of the lamb :)
