Cute cafe

We initially went to the fully vegan location for breakfast but unfortunately their wifi was down so they couldn’t take card payment (and they don’t take cash). Wandered a few more minutes to the veggie version - the cafe itself is a good bit bigger than the vegan one. My partner and I both went for the beans on toast - good sized portion of sweet but slightly smoky butter beans on sourdough. Both loved it. Partner fancied something sweet to finish off, so he had the carrot cake and the bite I had was delicious. The coffee is excellent. Most of the menu is thankfully vegan but it would be great if this location was 100% vegan like the other.

Jaunty Goat Bridge St

The larger of the two Jaunty Goat cafes, but this store serves dairy, eggs and honey, unlike the other one which is completely vegan. I can see why some people do get caught out with the two close together and I wasn’t asked what mylk I’d like for my drink here and needed to specify. Food menu was quite clear though. I had a matcha latte, which was ok, would’ve been nice to have been offered sugar/sweetener. This store is table service for eating/drinking in the cafe. Dog friendly.

Very nice cafe

Nice place for a brunch, breakfast or coffee. Nice selection of food (most of which is vegan too). The coffee was so good

1st time at this branch

Food was super tasty and service was extremely attentive. Would definitely recommend we had the mushrooms on toast and the chicken Club as well as carrot cake and lemon and raspberry cake. Super delicious

Warning 2 Jaunty Goats!

We called in here thinking it was a vegan only cafe, only to discover that there are 2 Jaunty Goat cafes within a 10 min walk of each other. We had inadvertently gone to the veggie cafe in error. Given choice, we always pick the vegan only eateries to support vegan businesses. Not sure why one is vegan, while the other is veggie with some vegan options.

Pressed for time, we stayed to eat. I had a hot chocolate and avocado on toast & my partner chose a black coffee and the lentil & broccoli soup. The waitress had to check if the hot chocolate was vegan. By all accounts the soup was very nice. My avocado on toast was literally just that, no seasoning and fairly basic. At home I usually season it and maybe add some chilli flakes or herbs/spices. The avocado on 2 pieces of toast cost £9.50 and was a bit disappointing to be honest

Cons: Two cafes same name, Same business diff menus, Pricey

Almost all vegan

Everything on the menu is clearly labeled. In fact there was only one item (an egg) that was not vegan. All the desserts were vegan as well! Had the chicken club and mushroom toast and both very delicious. Not huge portions but the price is relatively reflective of that. Overall really enjoyed the food, drinks and ambiance😄

Pros: Almost all vegan, Delicious food items, Vegan bakery choices

Utterly disappointing

Lovely looking cafe but I had to wait a while for a table on a Monday lunch then had to wait a while to place my order. There are two Jaunty Goats in Chester and I ended up in the non-vegan one where one of the dishes on the menu is chicken and bacon something and classed as vegan. I double checked what was vegan before I ordered as I found this very odd and she said 'oh it's vegan chicken'. I have NO IDEA why places list (vegan) meats on menus without explaining what they are. Ordering vegan can be a minefield anyway without them making it intentionally worse. I ordered Boston Beans (basically homemade beans on toast) for £8.50 and I got one slice of sourdough with some beans on top and a garnish of pepper around the plate (odd!). It tasted fine but I left hungry.
I was going to order cake afterwards but didn't on principle! However, I ended up in the other branch eating cake later and it was great. Reputation redeemed somewhat!

Had the pistachio polenta cake. AMAZING. My partner had their vegan eggs on toast. It tastes better than real eggs. Incredible coffee. Come give this place your money, it deserves it.

Pros: FOOD, Great service, The place is CUTE

Incredible tofu scramble and cake

The best tofu scramble either me or my partner have ever had - better than real egg. Exceptionally good raspberry pistachio polenta cake, vegan along with most of their cakes. Decent coffee, too. Not cheap, but definitely worth the money.

Pros: Tofu scramble the best ever, Great vegan cake, Nice coffee

The staff were lovely, really great atmosphere, lots of great food options! I had the smashed avocado, my bf had the scrambled egg (he said it was the best eggs he'd ever had).
The iced coffee was really nice!
We loved it so much we're planning on going back for breakfast again!

Pros: Vegan options, Great coffee, Nicely decorated, good atmosphere

Great coffee

Popped in to see what the vegan cakes options were and was told “They’re all vegan!” One of our party is an ex barista and she was mightily impressed. I had handsdown the best soy milk latte ever - steamed perfectly and with so much thick foam (which is no mean feat with soy milk, I’m told). Carrot cake and ginger orange cake were excellent choices, but they all looked delicious - it was difficult to choose :))

Fab cake

Stopped for a mid morning coffee, and glad we did. Great vibe -very busy, but plenty of tables. We each had a cappuccino with oat milk, OH had a big slice of carrot cake - moist with lashings of topping. I had a slice of lime, coconut and polenta cake, which was also a good choice.

Pros: Nice service, Plenty of tables

Great Long Black coffee!

I had a fantastic Long Black coffee ( 2 espresso shots, not so much hot water as an Americano). 3 Vegan cake options but I didn't sample this time. Will definitely be back. Good atmosphere. Nice and busy on a Sunday afternoon.

Pros: Vegan cakes!

Cons: None.

Perfect coffee shop

The application does not allow me to give 5*s because it is not a fully vegan/vegetarian, 4*s is the maximum which I think is really unfair. The place is perfect and coffee is the best in Chester. Has several vegan, vegetarian and meat eaters options. If you are a Soya Latte fan try it you won’t regret it. The harissa tofu sandwich is fab.
I would give 10 stars if I could.
