Clients reviews about Tove Coffee

I visited Tove recently and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The cafe itself has a stunning, clean, and modern aesthetic that makes it the perfect spot to unwind, catch up, or grab a great coffee. What really made the visit stand out, though, was the incredible customer service—specifically from Ayyoub and farsam. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with such genuine warmth and friendliness. They both went above and beyond to make sure I felt right at home, and that kind of hospitality is hard to come by these days! Whether you're after top-tier specialty coffee, delicious treats, or just a friendly face to brighten your day, Tove is the place to be. Huge thanks to Ayyoub for the stellar welcome. I’ll definitely be back! ~ Fatih

Fantastic cafe on Evington Road. The decor is fresh, the cafe is clean and crisp and the staff are welcoming. We ordered a cappuccino and a cold tiramisu latte and both were excellent. We also tried the focaccia with mushroom and truffle, this was delicious. I normally would try the meat option but was happy trying something different. The bread was spongy, the mushrooms were glossy and cooked to perfection and the flavours were amazing - just the right amount of truffle. The staff were passionate and explained that everything is cooked from scratch on the premises including the focaccia! They said they source the best ingredients and this was evident. The tablets for menus, the smart venue and fantastic food, drinks and service makes me want to return. Highly recommend this cafe. ~ F A

We really enjoyed our visit to Tove today and cannot praise Sophia highly enough! We loved our tiramisu iced lattes (the best flavoured iced latte i have ever had... we are massive tiramisu fans and this tastes just like the dessert). My husband really enjoyed his sourdough toast with eggs too and my little boy was happy to be able to have a babyccino (sadly he couldn't eat anything there with his severe nut allergy but Sophia was very conscientious to make sure he was catered for... the marshmallows are nut free in case you wondered!). The ambience is really nice. It is all fresh and clean. I recall having their banana pudding a while back, which was the best we have had in leicester... sadly we aren't likely to have a magnolia bakery opening anytime soon, but Tove gets a big thumbs up as a good alternative. ~ R I

I’ve been here about 8 times since it opened and it has been consistently excellent across the board. The Hot Honey & Cheese sandwich is up there with one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had; the ingredients are always fresh and generous with the portion sizes. The desserts from French Toasts to the Cheesecakes are delicious. Yet to try the new “viral” puddings. The service has been friendly and helpful during all visits. The only slight feedback I would give is the first few times we came the tea was really flavourful and tasted of spices - since then, the last 5-6 times its a pretty basic. The tea is always fresh and piping hot and served in a mug which is why we still order but unsure why they’ve decided to reduce the flavour. ~ ap7 a

I had such a lovely experience at this café and just had to leave a review! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and everything felt so clean and well put together. A special thank you to Aliza and Ayyoub who really made our visit memorable. Their service was exceptional from start to finish—both were so friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. They made us feel comfortable straight away and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. It’s rare to come across service like this these days, and they truly deserve recognition. I’ll definitely be coming back again and recommending this place to others! ~ Zahra S

I had a really great experience at Tove, and Maryam honestly made it. She mentioned it was only her second shift, which was surprising because she handled everything like a pro. It was really busy and she was only working with one other staff member, but she still went above and beyond to keep everything running smoothly. Compared to the other guy working, she was noticeably more attentive and on top of things. She gave helpful recommendations, kept track of orders perfectly, and even came back to check that everything was okay. For someone so new, her level of service was seriously impressive. ~ Hamza S

Absolutely loved our experience at Tove ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The food was incredible – so tasty and full of flavour. We had the beef in focaccia and the brioche with pulled beef, both of which were absolutely delicious. They were also amazing with accommodating our daughters and kindly made a chicken and cheese focaccia especially for them, which they loved. Everything we tried was genuinely so flavoursome. The staff were just as amazing as the food. Zainab looked after our table and truly went above and beyond. She was fantastic with our girls, incredibly friendly, and so accommodating. She gave us great advice on what to order and made us feel so welcome – nothing was ever too much trouble for her. The desserts were also outstanding, with the tiramisu latte being a definite highlight – absolutely amazing! Such a wonderful experience from start to finish. We can’t wait to come back and would highly recommend Tove to anyone. 💛 ~ Fateema K

My daughter and I visited for the first time for brunch today. We were served by Sophia who was very friendly, cheerful and answered our questions knowledgeably. Food came to our table promptly. It was delicious. We both had the focaccia which had been fresh baked, one with beef and the other with mushrooms. I think the mushroom one would benefit from less rocket and more mushroom filling. Coffee was piping hot (hate lukewarm coffee). We had a pleasant experience and I’m sure we will be visiting again soon. Thank you Sophia, you are an asset to any business x ~ Sabhia S

I had such a great experience at Tove thanks to Maryam. It was incredibly busy when I visited, but she still managed to stay calm, organised, and really attentive. She took the time to recommend drinks and explained everything clearly, which made choosing so much easier. What really stood out was how she checked back in with me after I got my order to make sure everything was okay. Despite how hectic it was, she kept track of every order perfectly and honestly seemed more attentive than anyone else working. Amazing service, definitely coming back again! ~ A K

Had lunch at Tove recently and came away really impressed. Went for the beef focaccia which was lovely — properly seasoned beef, good bread, just a well put together sandwich. The standout for me though was the Ras Malai pudding. Wasn't expecting much but it was genuinely delicious — creamy with a subtle cardamom flavour and not too sweet. I'd go back just for that, honestly. My friend tried the Tramissue Late, and was singing praises for that too. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, no complaints at all. Definitely one of the better spots in Leicester. Will be going back. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ~ Ahmad T

We had such a lovely experience at Tove, thanks to Farsam. She was extremely kind, welcoming, and made us feel so comfortable. We tried the hot chocolate, Spanish latte, hot pistachio latte, and several other drinks – every single one was delicious and perfectly made. Hot Chocolate is a must try. For food, we had the Korean chicken brioche toast, burrata focaccia, and chicken pesto focaccia, and they were all absolutely amazing. Great service, great food, and a wonderful atmosphere. Farsam truly made our visit special. We’ll definitely be coming back! ~ Vrinda G

I’m a tiramisu fanatic, so when I saw the Hot Tiramisu Latte on the menu, I had to try it. I was not prepared for how absolutely perfect it would be! It’s like drinking the soul of a perfect tiramisu. The espresso is rich and strong, the steamed milk is velvety, and it’s topped with a light, fluffy mascarpone-style foam and a delicate dusting of cocoa. The balance is incredible—not too sweet, with that beautiful hint of marsala-like warmth. It’s decadent, comforting, and utterly unique. This isn’t just a latte; it’s an experience. My new go-to indulgence! ~ M A

First impressions, the place is clean and modern, but not boring. Arrived with my family, the place isn't huge, but it meetsa nice middle between casual and upper class. The menu had a great variety and we tried their sandwiches, drinks and desserts. The coffee was gorgeous and smooth, the cocktails nice and sweet but not sickening and the sandwiches were surprisingly filling and delicious. We shared a couple of desserts and they were very tasty and of great quality. Perfect for sit in or to go. ~ Nashwa K

Ordered the chicken pesto foccacia and the banana french toast thing. Absolutely amazing, best lunch I have every had, the foccacia sandwich was just very nice from the start to finish, it was great. That french toast thing tasted very sweet and ice creamy, super soft, just super nice. Also had a white chocolate matcha, first time having matcha, not sure if matcha is supposed to be super nice, alsways hear about people getting it, it was good but not amazing, it was nice with the white chocolate though. ~ Ahmed K

Tove Coffee is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, cozy, and thoughtfully designed — the perfect place to relax or catch up with friends. The coffee is exceptional, rich in flavour and beautifully crafted, whether you’re ordering a classic latte or something more unique. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do, which makes the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for quality coffee and a comfortable vibe, Tove Coffee is definitely worth a visit. ~ Tarun V

Lovely new Cafe. ~ amaarah h

We can for Eid breakfast, it was really busy and the waitress (Sophia) was still managing to give excellent service, our food and drinks came quickly. We had the chicken focaccia, lattes and a pomegranate mocktail. Everything was exceptional. The coffee is definitely the best coffee we’ve had in out in a while, and definitely best in Leicester. It was all so good that we came back the next day before heading home. Also the tiramisu is traditional Italian tiramisu with mascarpone. ~ Maeve C

During a particularly busy visit to Tove, I was impressed by the level of service provided by Maryam. Despite the high volume of customers, she remained professional, attentive, and highly organised. She offered thoughtful recommendations and ensured that every order was handled efficiently. What stood out most was her attention to detail—taking the time to return and confirm that everything was satisfactory. Her level of care and attentiveness was noticeably above that of others on shift. ~ Maariyah H

If you’re anywhere near Leicester, do yourself a favour and check out Tove Café. It’s one of those spots that just feels effortlessly cool without losing that cosy, neighbourhood charm. The food? Properly good. Fresh, generous, and clearly made with care. And Rosie? An absolute star. She brought the kind of energy that turns a simple coffee stop into a standout experience — attentive, upbeat, and genuinely thoughtful. Service like that sticks with you. Already planning my next visit ~ Mikolaj Z

Absolutely love Tove Leicester Cafe! The vibe is so warm and welcoming, and everything feels done with real care. The iced tiramisu latte was unreal — perfectly balanced, creamy, and honestly one of the best coffees I’ve had. The beef focaccia was just as amazing, fresh and packed with flavour. Huge shoutout to Rosie who was so lovely and attentive — she made the whole experience even better. The team are just so good at what they do. Can’t wait to come back! ~ Andrew D

An absolute gem in gem in Leicester! I finally made it to Tove and it completely lived up to the hype. The chicken pesto focaccia sandwich was incredible, the focaccia is made fresh in-house and you can absolutely taste the difference. Perfectly soft with a gorgeous golden crust, and the filling was generous without being overwhelming. The crunchy karak toast was such a pleasant surprise! I've never seen anything quite like it, crispy, warming, and so innovative. For dessert, the Nutella and strawberry crepe rolls were the perfect sweet finish. The matcha and coffee were both excellent too, clearly they care just as much about their drinks. I ended up going back a second time just to try their puddings, the banana pudding and baked almond croissant pudding were both phenomenal. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between cozy and vibrant. It's the kind of place where you actually want to stay a while. Honestly, if you haven't been yet, do yourself a favour. Tove is doing something special, and Leicester is lucky to have it. ~ Zunaira A

We honestly loved this place 🤍 The tiramisu latte was a standout — rich, smooth, and absolutely delicious. The chocolate mocha was equally good. The chicken & pesto focaccia was soft, generously filled, and full of flavour, and the strawberry & Nutella crêpe was perfect for any chocolate lover. The service was amazing — Zainab helped us with recommendations and every single one was spot on. She really looked after us. Would definitely come back again. ~ Shehla D

Such amazing service and delicious desserts! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming and enjoyable. Our waitress, Nabiha, was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so comfortable throughout our visit. Her warm attitude genuinely stood out and made the experience even better. The desserts were beautifully presented and tasted amazing. I was really impressed and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!!!! The photo attached is what I had!! ~ hafsa
