The Apple Tree Coffee Lounge - Burton-on-Trent

A lovely cafe. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. They recommend you reserve a table at lunchtime because it does get busy, but on this occasion, we were lucky to get a table.

I had the panini with chicken, bacon and cheese, and a mocha.

The bathroom facilities are at the back of the café.

The location is nice within the marina.

So good, we visited twice in a weekend! Whilst on a short staycation nearby, we stumbled upon this lovely cafe and soon saw why it is rated by The Guardian as one of the top 10 coffee shops.

There is a range of both indoor and outdoor seating to catch a view of the serene marina whilst enjoying a selection of tasty breakfast, brunch and lunch options. The staff provide such a warm, friendly approach and the food was fabulous.

I could not recommend this cafe enough, it is a hidden gem. There was also a lovely little farm shop next door (swipe to see the biggest onion I’ve ever laid eyes on)?

?What we had?
Vegetarian breakfast
Mozzarella & sundried tomato toasted panini
Cheddar cheese & red onion toasted panini
Tuna melt toasted panini
Victoria sponge cake
Chocolate brownie

We hired the Apple Tree for a private party and it was amazing. The food was delicious and everyone commented on how great it was, the staff couldn’t do enough for you and we felt so looked after.

The best venue. Highly recommend ❤️

Thanks Esther, Andy, Nicky and the team

Overpriced rubbish. £35 for two not very filled sandwiches and a tiny bit of salad. Really small bowl of supposed to be fries which were burnt chips. Absolutely awful place in such a nice area. Complete rip off wouldn't be so bad if the sandwiches had a decent amount of filling in them. Shame on this company for blatantly ripping people off of money. Ruined the experience of Barton marina for sure. Avoid.

Love it , love it , love it !! The staff are courteous helpful and very polite. My dinner ( chilli with nachos - scummy !!) was brilliant and for the first time in my life , I couldn't finish it as it was too big . The marina , as a whole thing is a lovely place to visit . It's just a shame it was only marred by the rain. But hey .... We live in Britain , not Spain . My thanks once again to all The Apple Tree Coffee Lounge staff for looking after us. We'll be back to see you all again soon.

This is a first-rate coffee lounge. We had coffee there on the 20th of March and then returned for lunch the same day. The decor inside is unusual and really interesting. The food was excellent, and the service was quick . The staff are extremely pleasant and polite. We will certainly return as soon as we can.

We visited the apple tree during the artisan market and while we had to wait a little bit to get a seat, it was worth it.

My partner had the croquet Madame and soup which she really enjoyed and I had the New York deli sandwich. I thought both were reasonably priced, especially given that it seemed the ingredients were good quality. I think it was around £7 for the sandwich which included a little side salad and vegetable crisps.

After the savouries we had to cakes and hot chocolate to finish. Again everything was tasty and well made. We had the hummingbird cake and Nelson square, nice to see a range of traditional British and more tropically inspired cakes! The hot chocolate was very nice to and seemed to be from real chocolate rather than powder.

The environment was also very pleasant. A nice place to get out of the rain!
