Artisan pastries in Stoke

“Best waffles ever ! Such a lovely cafe/bar and the staff were great. Never have I had such an amazing waffle before. Fresh, hot and great ingredients. The drinks were top notch as well.”

“We came for the 12 wines of Christmas on Saturday and had a great time! Rachel who ran the event was knowledgeable and friendly plus the drinks were obviously great! If it hadn’t cost us as much as the event in taxi fees we would be there regularly! Can’t wait to visit the pub in Audlem next given it’s much closer!”

“absolute treasure in centre of Buxton! (honestly nearly didn’t pop in but sooooo glad we did) ! Delicious matcha latte and THE BEST GF Vegan cake I have ever eaten: Almond and pistachio torte. Staff are lovely and friendly and (NB we called in to a Pudding Emporium around the corner to enquire if we could have a cuppa - got extremely frosty reception) so happy to have discovered Chakra longe!”

“We have been regulars for several months now and we absolutely love coming here. It's not just a great cafe but a business we really value as part of our community here in Stone. We always feel welcome and the owners go out of their way to make you feel at home. We've tried most things on the menu and everything we've had has been delicious and of great quality - coffee, cakes, full English, veggie breakfast, baps and more. It doesn't get better than that!”

“Beautiful cafe with a wonderful atmosphere. The toasties and panini's were delicious. There is seating both inside and outside so you can sit out in the sun.”

“Great quality food. Great atmosphere and fab team. So so full. Highly recommend the full breakfast. Such good food! And the staff are lovely. Always go there when I need a good meal”

“We popped in Thursday 18th of September 2025 , for something to eat with my wife and daughter, because we haven't been to Shrewsbury for years, my daughter had a 4 day break in the city. It's a quaint little cafe , service with a smile and friendly. Reasonable prices good atmosphere it was about 3 o'clock ish and still busy , but got seating okay. Food was lovely and it was prompt . So all in all well worth a recommendation to come again when we next return from Liverpool. Thanks again all staff and cooks from the Taylor trio liverpool.”

“This cafe is. In my book the best of the bestest Gail and her staff are there way up top nothing is too much trouble today Sunday 14 th December I went in for a Xmas tea way beyond expectations and that includes the buttercross cafe”

“We drove past this place million times and never noticed it untill today. We were really surprised how lovely the place look (despite rundown neighbourhood). The building looks lovely both inside and outside. Jacket potato and the sandwich was really tasty”

“The best butties I've ever eaten. I miss them so much now that I'm retired from Stone Tyres and living in Stoke-on-Trent:(”

“The best coffee that I honestly ever have! Perfect temp, taste and service! Thank you!!”

“Really enjoyed having a little stop at this cafe for a drink. In the centre of town just off the main area it’s big enough for maybe 25 people with various tables inside and out. Toilets on site and it’s wheelchair accessible too. They allowed our dog in as he was well behaved. Lovely service and very friendly. We had a couple of cream teas with great clotted cream and home made scones - it was a great time thanks”

“We hired the boat "Molly May" through Waterways Holidays from Norbury Wharf.. We arrived and we met by friendly approachable staff. The Boat was ready to go and was spotless.. We loaded up and Phil showed us all we needed to know, he was very thorough and left us full of confidence for the week ahead. On return we were helped into the boat yard and had to admit to a lost windlass and 2 broken glasses!! The staff were very good about it and didn't charge us and even offered 5% off our next to holiday with them! The cafe and chandlery were also excellent.. Many thanks for a great wk of off grid solitude!!”

“Staff are always so nice and friendly. It is literally my fave starbucks to go to”

“Great food and staff. I had poached eggs on black pudding on an English muffin. Can't stop thinking about it!”

“Had the bacon butty (nofat™). 10/10. The Wi-Fi is good enough to facilitate a call to Taiwan. Eventually decided to have myself an Americano to go. It was my first of its kind, and probably my last. Good times.”

“We have been here a couple of times now and find the staff extremely courteous, excellent service with the added extra of superb home made food. Very reasonable…inexpensive (not cheap!). Just keep it secret!”

“Large store on outskirts of town. Plenty of choice, good quality food and reasonable prices. Generally a quiet store. Staff always go the extra mile to help.”

“Fabulous oatcakes, best in the area bar none”

“So nice to finally get a non generic bakery. Really polite helpful staff - great home made feel to their produce and service with a smile - even if I was awkward (a little )”
