A Must-Visit Gem in Chester!
We had an incredible experience at Shrub Chester. The food was absolutely stunning — packed with flavour, beautifully presented, and with a creative vegan menu that really stands out. It was fantastic to see such a great range of gluten- and dairy-free options available too, catering brilliantly to dietary needs without compromising on taste.
A special mention to Charlotte, whose warmth and hospitality made our visit even more memorable. She was attentive, friendly, and truly added a personal touch to our evening.
We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in Chester — highly recommended!
Chic café with gluten-free cakes and plant-based menu in a cozy, softly lit setting.

Love this place, the decor and the vibe are very on trend. Bench seating and plenty of it
I had the seasonal porridge which was delicious and a huge portion that kept me full all day,
The best oat flat white I’ve ever had, all the staff I interacted with were friendly and very good at their job.
Didn’t have a cake, but they looked great, not sure if there were many gluten free cakes.
The only thing I noticed that others might not like, if you’re not a regular you might not notice this place is entirely plant based, and something like a chicken club could be mis leading as it doesn’t say “chicken substitute or something on the menu”

Visited on the day of the Chester Marathon around 12ish so may have been busier than usual. It's very small inside so get's very busy as there are only a few tables. It felt a little uncomfortable trying to sit and eat when there was a queue of people snaking out of the door, standing over you as they're waiting to order.
We ordered a baked potato, hot sandwich and two baps and hot drinks. Took a little while to bring the drinks to us but we could tell they were very busy, to the point of being inundated with orders. The waitress did apologise for the wait, even offering to remake the drinks if they were not hot enough but they were fine, especially the cappuccino which was lovely. Food was nice and happy to see gluten free options on the menu. Would return.
This spot offers a fantastic atmosphere with a welcoming setting ideal for families and individuals with gluten-free needs. The helpful and friendly staff ensure a smooth experience, making it a trusted choice for coeliac guests seeking a comfortable dining environment.

Very Disappointing!!
Arrived for brunch with my wife who is coeliac so GF is essential.
My wife ordered a meal off the menu which was identified as GF.... vegetarian haggis with tomato, hash brown, egg, beans, mushrooms and a slice of GF bread.
Meal arrived without the haggis. No mention of this from the staff, it took my wife to ask why there was no haggis. ... the main item of the meal. She was told it was because they couldn't guarantee it was GF. No mention of this when I ordered and full price charged and paid. Borderline scandalous.
Needless to say, won't be going back.
