Granite's Coffee Shop - Charnwood

This restaurant is a relaxed and welcoming spot with a delightful assortment of cakes and a variety of ice creams. They also offer a wide range of other dishes such as paninis. The outdoor seating area is dog-friendly, but can be a bit chilly in the winter. The abundance of signs can be a bit overwhelming. There is ample parking available, although it can be crowded on busy days. The restaurant also has disabled facilities and is connected to a rail museum.

I do not recommend this restaurant for those with gluten allergies. The bread is small, unpleasant tasting, and expensive. The gluten-free options are limited and the portion sizes are too small. I left feeling hungry and with a bad taste in my mouth from the bread. I had written a more detailed review earlier but cannot find it. I am disappointed because this restaurant used to be excellent.

The café is always bustling, which is a good indicator of delicious food at affordable prices.

Maybe more for children but coffee and cake were OK , milkshake less so. Seems to have a selection of activities but for food and drink there are better, cheaper places nearby

It's a very good cafe with a lot of light meal options not just coffee, cake, etc. We had chilli jacket potato and cheese and ham quiche with salad.
