The Coffee House - Derby

My Mum and I enjoyed a very pleasant lunch here. My Greek Horta salad was very good value for the size and the addition of mint was unusual and refreshing. My Mum had the Moroccan Hummus Sandwich which came with a generous portion of salad and some very nice 'kale slaw '. The only slight negative point was that the bread was a little stale but overall, the ingredients were high quality. The tables are surrounded by cabinets of porcelain with information provided if you have an interest it really is like dining in a museum! A lovely place to meet in the centre of town. We went on a Wednesday out of school holidays so the clientele was mainly friends catching up and businessmen having client meetings. I can understand why it is a venue cherished by many and why it has won awards.

This café, located on the lower level of the museum, may be small but it is excellent. With a limited menu offering hot meals, cakes, sandwiches, and more, it still manages to impress. The coffee is great and they offer free wifi.

The cafe at the Derby Museum and Art Gallery. Offers good lunches, soup, sandwiches with an enormous side salad, cakes and scones etc. Friendly staff. Lots of books that you can read if you are on a solo visit or enjoy the porcelain on display

This coffee house is a wonderful addition to the Derby Museum. The cafe looks beautiful, the staff are lovely, it has a wonderful atmosphere and the food is great! I can’t wait to come back, each time trying a different sweet treat, it all looks sooooo good!!!

This review is a general view and the reason why will become clear as you read on. It was quite busy on entering it is a nice area with display cabinets down the side, room is light and airey with tables well spaced out. However, a couple of things were not for me, it was so noisy, a child running around the tables and others banging things on the play table/area, I know it is school holidays, but come on parents keep control of your children. There were three members of staff working unfortunately they seemed oblivious to clearing tables when people had finished/left, you need to clean/turn the tables around for other customers. This was not an environment that I wanted to enjoy a drink/bite to eat in but I will give it another go at some stage in the future.
