“ Lovely find while walking along the Roman wall. Stopped off for breakfast which was delicious. Got the window table with lovely views of the tree-lined street in the spring sunshine. Will stop off here again when next in Chester. ”
“ If you're looking for a cozy and charming cafe with delicious treats at great prices, look no further than Cafe at the Walls. My partner and I stumbled upon this hidden gem during our recent visit to Chester, and we were absolutely thrilled with our experience. One of the highlights of our visit was the incredible ice cream. The flavors were all so tempting that it was hard to choose, but we ended up trying the salted caramel and the raspberry sorbet, and both were absolutely divine. The ice cream was rich and creamy, with just the right balance of sweetness and flavor. We were pleasantly surprised at how affordable the prices were, too - it's rare to find such high-quality ice cream at such reasonable prices. But the ice cream wasn't the only thing that impressed us. The cafe itself is cozy and welcoming, with a rustic charm that perfectly matches its location right by the city walls. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the service was quick and efficient. All in all, we had a wonderful experience at Cafe at the Walls and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great cafe in Chester. Whether you're in the mood for ice cream, coffee, or a light meal, this place has something for everyone. Don't miss out on the opportunity to visit - you won't be disappointed! ”
“ Lovely cafe. If it is sunny and busy outside and you want ice-cream, it is better to go here to skip the large queues outside. I would highly recommend going here. ”
“ Lovely cafe, lovely welcoming friendly staff, We came here to avoid the usual breakfast places and support local businesses. Service was lovely and friendly, nothing too much trouble. Didn't wait too long for out breakfast, husband had a traditional breakfast and I had scrambled egg on toast with a side of mushrooms. The portions were quite big and honestly I couldn't eat all mine, size of the breakfast cannot complain at all, my only issue was the scrambled egg was too wet/ not firm enough for my liking. But that said it was tasty so thats my own preference on the consistency of it. I had flavoured tea which was yummy too. If you are more than 3 or 4 I would recommend booking a table to avoid disappointment as they are quite a small cafe. Thank you ”
“ A proper cafe serving traditional food at good prices. Hidden away just inside in the walls near to the River Dee, Cafe at The Walls is a place you should definitely seek out. It’s a small, cosy cafe situated at the end of old town houses in Lower Bridge Street. There is short stay parking bay’s near by and blue badge parking. However, there does not appear to be wheelchair access to the cafe. Very welcoming, prompt service and a great English breakfast to set you up for the day. Recommended . ”
“ Fabulous food. Friendly. Genuinely priced. A real little gem, then a gentle stroll along the river. Perfect . My only concern is it takes dogs!!!! ”
“ Cosy little cafe close to the river and next to the city walls. Small, but worth calling in as prices are reasonable. Only stopped for ice creams, but they have a good range of items on the menu. ”
“ Great little cafe that does great baps at a reasonable price. We had one bacon and egg bap and one bacon and sausage bap, both well filled with good quality ingredients. ”
