Bitsy's Emporium of Awesome

Absolutely brilliant independent bakeshop/cafe, highly recommend this place to anyone! The cakes u0026 baked treats on the counter are incredible and are all made in house. The coffee is top notch u0026 the grilled cheese's are great if you fancy something hot. Service is fantastic and the whole vibe is very warm and welcoming.

A great little hidden gem. Awesome food and drinks, perfect if you are travelling along the canalside. Service is a little slow so don't expect a fast food joint.

Stopped by with a colleague by chance for a coffee and perhaps a bite to eat. The girl serving behind the counter took an age to make their coffees, all the while leaving us 1st timers stood there wondering what we needed to do. A simple “Hi, I’ll be right with you” would have sufficed but absolutely nothing during the awkward wait. Saw another guy, long shoulder length hair slicing bread and making either sandwiches or toasties. Once our attendant behind the counter became free, she simply asked us what we’d like without so much as an apology or even eye contact. It was like, we didn’t exist. Glancing across at the shoulder length haired guy, who by this time was vigorously scratching his head above his ears with both hands, we decided against him preparing our food u0026 settled on two coffees. All in all, immensely poor service, disgusting hygiene, no gloves, hair nets or head coverings for those preparing the food, certainly wouldn’t return.

Banging grilled cheese sarnies. Top coffee and cake in Leicester. Milkshakes are awesome. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Top tier service off staff with a smile. In short, if you don't come here you're probably not worth knowing.

Haven from the buzz in the city! Nice coffee and cakes 🧁🍫🍪🍰🥧☕️🥤 And did I mention the best grilled cheese in town? Too good I kept eating and forgot to photo it 🥲 Will defo come back next time!

Firstly I would like to say how scrumptious the cakes were ! I bought a selection and took them away with me and I can definitely confirm they're some of the nicest cakes I've tasted, not just 'sweet' artificial tasting like a lot these days. The only slight downside was the staff on arrival, the cafe wasn't particularly busy on this Saturday afternoon, there was 3 members behind the counter, with 1 seeming to do everything, the other 2 didn't acknowledge me or say anything, I was stood there about 10ish mins until the lady that was doing it all eventually served me. I understand that maybe they couldn't serve me for some reason but a little acknowledgement would of been appreciated! Definitely wouldn't put me off though as the cakes are soooo worth it 😋

The QueenBee of baked goods and all things in a Toastie. If you are ever in the area, or not, you must must go and treat yourself. It's perfection.

Grilled cheese menu amazing Cakes to die for 😍😍😋 lovely spot near the water - friendly welcoming staff 😇 even in 33° temp. Iced coffee yum.
