Description

Nestled near the picturesque Halfpenny Bridge, The Tea Chest offers a charming retreat for visitors looking to unwind with a delightful cup of tea or coffee. While the cozy atmosphere, complete with spacious seating and decor, often captivates guests, cleanliness has been a recurring concern. Reviews highlight both delicious homemade soups and limited menu options, leading to mixed experiences. The staff are generally praised for their friendliness and efficiency, though service inconsistencies have been noted during peak times. Overall, The Tea Chest is a quaint spot that, after some improvements in hygiene and menu variety, has the potential to truly shine.

The Tea Chest is a charming little café located right in the heart of Buxton. I absolutely love their peppermint tea! It's a fantastic spot for lunch, very pleasant...

Delightful lemon drizzle cake, excellent cup of tea, and exceptional service.

We had a full English breakfast (my husband), a hot chocolate (my son), and poached eggs on Welsh Rarebit (myself). Everything was absolutely delicious! We definitely plan to go back again! xx

Always 5 star nice friendly staff good home cooling xxxxxxxxx

We were unable to secure a table at any other restaurant, but stumbled upon this charming place with delicious food (we ordered soup and toasted sandwiches). The staff were also fantastic.
