Cosy Vegan Breakfast Spot with a Warm Welcome - Edit
Had a delicious vegan breakfast here and loved the whole experience. A really cosy, welcoming café with a relaxed vibe and great vegan options. The vegan breakfast was clearly made with love, full of flavour, and thoughtfully put together.
Read moreThe staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, which made the visit feel relaxed and unrushed. They were also very accommodating — happy to add or remove items to suit preferences, which is always appreciated.
Bonus points for being dog-friendly too 🐾. A lovely spot for a nourishing breakfast in Chester — I’ll definitely be back. 🌱☕️

Great vegan options - Edit
Short & Stout is a lovely little cafe in the Hoole area of Chester. They have quite a few vegan options and the food we tried was excellent.
Read moreI had the breakfast sandwich which included vegan black pudding, sausages and avocado. It was delicious, with the only negative being that it was served on a basic white roll. A more ‘rustic’ option would definitely be better but it was still very enjoyable.
Service was good too and it’s a nice environment to be in.

Cute and clean - Edit
This place is spotless. Very neat, very clean, you can see into the kitchen if you're sitting on the ground floor and it is just lovely. I went on a Monday so I know it wasn't the busiest it could've been, but the staff were running a very tight ship and I was impressed.
Read moreMy iced latte was very nice, and the avocado toast was also delicious - the toasted seeds are a really nice touch, add some nuttiness and crunch. Nice simple menu, easy to bulk up or slim down any option to make it a meal.
Only issues are access - there are steps to the door, steps to the toilet, and as it's quite small there isn't much space for prams/mobility aids.
Pros: Decent menu
Cons: Lots of steps involved

Some good vegan options - Edit
Mostly veggie, but there are some nice vegan dishes on the menu. As a “brunch café” there’s a lot of emphasis on eggs and cheese in their meals, but they’ll happily take them out or exchange for a vegan alternative.

Cons: Expensive

Great Menu! - Edit
The menu at Short Stout is very good. I wanted to try almost everything on it! I shall have to go back! The only thing that I found to be not great about the place was the seating. It’s a very small space, and felt a bit crammed. The food and drinks were fantastic though. I will definitely be back.

Great cafe with an Aussie vibe - Edit
Went for brunch here on a rainy Saturday and loved it. Great service, modern decor and delicious menu. The owners are super friendly and these guys take their coffee very seriously and it shows. Vegan coffee lovers are well served as they stock a range of plant-based milks. This is a place for breakfast/brunch and the menu is well labelled. I had the banana bread toasted (nom) and also the pea and beetroot hummus on sourdough. Both were instagrammable and absolutely delicious. The menu is largely vegetarian with the option to “add” items with several vegan options. This cafe is small but beautiful and well worth a visit.
