Today I had the absolute pleasure of popping into one of Leek's hidden gems in Coffee Clique. I…read morestumbled upon it by pure chance as I wondered down an alley exploring some independent shops. The downstairs is an open sofa area with a board displaying the various luxury milkshakes on offer that day. Whilst they all looked very appetising, I was really in the mood for a decent cuppa so headed up the metal stairway to the kitchen to order. I was then greeted by the smell of cakes and pastries which had literally just come out of the oven. In the end I opted for a tea and a muffin which came to a very reasonable £2.60. The lady behind the bar brought my order over to me, a very nice touch I thought which meant I was able to sit and browse the art for sale on the wall. When my tea came, it also came with a little biscuit on the side, again, not much but a nice touch which shows that this shop really cares about service. Overall, the shop has a really "artsy" yet cosy feel about it. It's the kind of place which I could see myself sitting for hours writing or catching up with pals I haven't seen in a while. The quiet and relaxing atmosphere is further enhanced by the scents wafting over from the scented candle shop a few doors down. This place is a real find and I encourage others in Leek to give it a go too.

With remarks like that from the indifferent lady owner i did indeed ask myself why I was complaining. The service was shocking the attitude of the owner was disgraceful and to top it off my daughter advised me that her pasta dish was cold but that she didn't like to add any more stuff to the complant list!! Steer clear my friends it was appaling. There scores on the doors is 2 stars but of course this is not measured against service only hygiene which isn't very good but if service was included in the ratings they would have got -5.

I quite like BB's coffee & muffins , it is an open plan coffee shop / snack bar situated indoors,…read moreright in the heart of the four seasons shopping centre, so its perfect to sit down for half an hour, have a cuppa and rest your legs halfway through your shopping. The sell mainly snacky things like hot panini's, muffins and ice cream but I think the food is extremely expensive for what it is. If your just having a quick coffee then its not too bad price wise but the meal deals are quite pricey. It is always busy but there are plenty of tables so you can always find a space. The ice cream is delicious too, perfect after a hard days shopping!

And I had. It is the daintiest little cafe you will ever see. But it is fantastic. It is beautifully decorated and feels as though you are hidden away from the world.

The staff are friendly and helpful and make sure you enjoy every part of your stay here. I will be going back and I will be taking all my friends!

My family ritually…read moretakes over half the small space for brunch and a 'natter' and the staff are very accommodating with prams and walking sticks and extra people. One half of the small building (by the river as the name suggests, but not overlooking it) is their kitchen, the rest light and airy with about six or seven round tables perfect for families and groups. It does get to be a bit of a squeeze in there at times though. On their walls are their chalked up specials and paintings for sale borrowed from the People's Gallery across the road. This cafe is perfect for traditional English breakfast and lunches like paninis, baked potatoes, soups with specials like lasagne and chilli con carne all under £5. They also provide a takeaway service which is pretty popular at lunchtimes.

It is nice to come here if you are waiting for the next train and want something warm to eat. Or even just a good old gossip with your mate. Either way they are accommodating. They help local businesses too by providing takeouts. The place is small but then again it is not meant to be a massive cafe. It is small and quaint to fit in with the town. The river Tame flows right next to it. It is pretty and has photos of the local areas on the walls.

Well, there is nothing better than a humongous fry up. No matter how much you deny yourself, you do…read moregive in. Sharon's cafe gives you all that and more. It is only a tiny place but if you want you can take away which is better for those people who eat on the go. What is fantastic is that it is open 7 days a week. A lot of cafes have the weekend off as they cater for nearby businesses and labour workers etc. So, this is rare in Mossley to find a cafe open. And I may add a decent one that is not shy on the servings either! No eggs better than this diamond! AND increasingly better than the opening hours is the prices. I think a mega breakfast is like £3.00 so fill your boots. Now I am hungry! arrggghhh

This place a great find, lest then 3.00 for a full English breakfast (with coffee) - I almost fell over I'm that use to city center prices! The food itself was great, particular the lovely crispy bacon. What really impressed me about this place was that it was a one woman show and the servas here was will good!

This isn't the cheapest sandwich place by far though, and as a result, I tend to use it for a special treat rather than every day.

But here it did and the chap who brought my coffee over confirmed it, which was kind. The coffee was good, the ambience laid back and the feeling was of a haven from a bustling street and city. Eventually, I left my regal armchair to get back and on. This café sets a fine standard for competitors to meet.
