St Martins Tea And Coffee Merchants

St Martin's Coffee Shop in Leicester is just a gem. I can't express how much I love it, but I'm still going to try for the sake of this review. I've eaten here for breakfast and brunch many times, and whenever I am in town, I have to go. By a country mile, this place offers the best tasting food in Leicester. The breakfast and brunch menu is amazing, there is such a good range of delicious food on offer, and everything comes out quickly and piping hot. The staff are friendly and efficient, and the space is cosy and comfortable. There are a range of chairs available which is great for accessibility purposes, and the staff are very helpful in swapping out chairs with arms for chairs without, if anyone has any access needs. There are two floors in the venue, with stairs to the top floor. However, the ground floor is accessible for pushchairs and wheelchairs, and has lots of tables to choose from. The food here is truly unreal. I would recommend trying the smashed avocado toast, with additional sides of bacon, eggs and hash brows. The toast is cooked to perfection, the avocado is seasoned with lime, the feta and tomatoes are juicy and liberally included. The eggs are always runny but not too runny, and the hash brows are big, with a crispiness to their outsides, but a soft, fluffy potato inside. Even the ketchup that comes with the hash browns is tangy and delicious. The bacon is streaky, smoky and crispy, and comes in vast slices. The coffee is excellent, and I've eaten and drank other choices from the menu before which are equally as amazing. In the evenings for a few days a week, this place becomes Crafty Burger, the home of the best burger in the U.K. Search it on here, because it's so worth a visit. The only request I would have is that the milkshakes all sound unbelievable, but there aren't any dairy-free options for lactose-sensitive people like myself. Overall, 11/10. If this place ever closes, I am moving away, because I could never walk past or look at the venue again if it was no longer serving the same food and drinks. I could not live in a city where all my hopes and dreams died. Try this place, you won't be disappointed!

Came here with our friends and their children. We all had coffee’s and the kids had milkshakes. The coffee’s were very good and the kids enjoyed their ‘epic’ milkshakes! It’s lovely and cosy in here and very Christmassy.
