Obscure Coffee — Restaurant in England

This is a specialty coffee shop a short walk away from Chester city centre. I Paid this place visit on the 21st of September 2025, I had a flat white to drink in. The price was reasonable, the coffee was ok, but I have drank better coffee in Chester. Price of coffee beans which were available for sale in the shop were quite expensive.

Competition for specialty coffee in Chester is tough, as there are plenty of these types of shops within the boundaries of Chester city centre at the time of writing. The coffee may be good for some but it wasn't quite good enough for me. Next time I'm in Chester I will try elsewhere but that's only my opinion. It is certainly better than the chain coffee shops...

A small and intimate space that packs a big punch when it comes to their coffee.

Nick and his team offer a warm welcome and an enthusiasm for the humble bean which is completely infectious - you come in for a simple flat white and leave wanting to preach the coffee gospel to everyone you meet!

Their small but quality selection of pastries & cakes are an absolute delight and compliment their hot and cold drinks selection perfectly.

Did I also mention they are dog friendly? Eco friendly? Baby friendly? They’re just a damn friendly bunch!

Cannot recommend this gorgeous place...

Obscure is my go-to coffee shop in Chester. My usual order would be a Filter coffee, but on this occasion i got an iced matcha latte. The service is always incredible here. The 2 baristas i quite often see, know what they’re doing, seriously.

In addition, they have a lovely selection of cakes and sandwiches to accompany your hot and cold drinks. It is relatively small compared to other coffee shops i’ve been to, especially in Chester.

However, if you’re travelling alone or with friends, i would very much recommend you come here and check it out...
