Marmalade

Review from February 2019 I love a cafe where you can walk in and not have to explain yourself, those cafes are few and far between though. While Marmalade isn't completely gluten free they are close to it and you really don't have to ask much, they completely get it and you really do a double take when they say all the cakes are gluten free. The menu marks what can be gluten free if it isn't already, and to be fair, pretty much all of can be adapted if it isn't gluten free. There are plenty of choices and the staff understand about Coeliac and are careful when it comes to cross contamination. We only wanted a sandwich, we all opted for bacon sandwiches, and they explained they had measures in places to prevent cross contamination and the lady knew what was and wasn't gluten free except for the hot chocolate. I always throw a spanner in the works when I ask if hot chocolate is gluten free, I don't know why but some places just don't think to check hot chocolate, however it wasn't a problem, she happily went and checked and even checked if all the flake and marshmallows were ok (they all were). The food didn't take long to come out and was really good, the sandwiches we lovely and hot and the bread was good, some places you just don't get good gluten free bread. We couldn't resist the cakes on the display so just had to get some for later one, thankfully you can get them to take out as well as eat in, such a huge selection including cheesecakes! We had a few different ones between us, elderberry, a brownie and victoria sponge, we thought we'd save the cheesecake for another day! I tried a bit of all of them and they were all lovely and soft, I'm sure anyone not gluten free wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Marmalade is definitely worth a visit if you are in Chester, the food is good and pretty good priced, fab staff and have an array of gluten free foods on offer, even if you just go for cake and a brew you should give it a try. I have been since this review was wrote and it is still amazing, so many choices, on that visit I opted for a salad which was delicious!

Our local lucky to say. Always friendly, food portions plentiful, lots of gf to choose from. And the cakes...mmmmm. My hubby is dairy free too, we are catered for very well. Our go to everytime, book early its very popular. X

I am Coeliac and went in this morning and ordered off the panini menu, although mine was gluten free bread. I had chicken, bacon and cheddar toasted sandwich with a pot of coleslaw and salad. I also had a pot of tea

Visiting Chester for the day and came across Marmalade, a lovely little cafe. To my delight all the cakes were gf. Having enjoyed an enormous slice of cake and good coffee, I returned a couple of hours later for a late lunch - delicious gf sandwich accompanied by a fresh looking and tasting salad. My friend, who is not a coeliac, had a brilliant lunch and cake too. Thanks for making being a coeliac normal and not an issue.

Visited marmalade on my recent trip to chester. Ended up eating here 3 times in the 2 days we were there and purchased some of the lovely cakes to take away! It was just that good. The staff are very helpful and I didn't once feel awkward asking for gluten free options. Every item I ordered was perfect, couldn't fault it at all. It will definitely be my go to when ever I'm in Chester

We went for a little bit of lunch and had a beautiful soup and sandwich.
