About Chestnuts Coffee Shop

A quiet, homely little independent in Oadby that regulars love precisely because you can hear yourself talk — a rare thing with children in tow. There's a lounge area, outdoor seating for warmer days, high chairs and a kids' menu, and the atmosphere stays calm rather than clattery. Service is generally friendly and quick, which matters when someone's patience is running out, though one busy morning brought a 40-minute wait for cooked breakfasts, so it's worth checking before you order a full fry-up with hungry kids. The breakfasts, toasted teacakes and freshly ground coffee draw the warmest praise; one visitor still comes back for the chocolate sprinkled on the cappuccino. Two things to plan for: it's cash only, and parking is the council car park at £1.50 for two hours. You order and pay at the counter first.
