Reviews of Capabilitea

E. M.

Beautifully quaint tea room, desserts were delicious, no problems when asking for a soya milk hot chocolate for my son - and most importantly - decent sized teapots!

C. W.

Tasty pot of tea. Traditional tea room. Friendly service. Nice relaxing atmosphere for a chat, cuppa ‘me Duck’

K. S.

Great little coffee place. Iced coffees were delicious on such a warm day. Yet to have any food but what was being served look really tasty. Can get quite busy at peak times. There's a small little seating area outside but bigger tables inside.

P. G.

A traditional tea rooms with very pleasant staff and usual cakes on offer We had a "good chat" with one of the staff members

H. L.

Lovely little tea room in trentham shopping village. The cafe offers a good selection of food and drinks. The cakes are well made and the owners offer vegan and dietary options that feel carefully thought out. The ladies are friendly and approachable and it was a really good experience!

A real gem at Trentham. Great setting, friendly staff and wonderful food and drinks. Cakes are homemade and delightful. Would highly recommend for a morning coffee, lunches or afternoon tea in a lovely setting. Try a Sraffordshire oatcake for a local favourite.

M. C.

Good oatcakes and crockery. Dry cakes and Panini. Though we did enjoy our time in Capability, it was slightly let down by clearly having opened too many cakes at once so they dried out a little (cakes not home made but I don't expect them to be). Somewhat saved by being served with pouring cream. Traditional oatcake was tasty and generous (approximately £5.50). Panini for similar price was not as well filled and needed some butter or some such.

Daughter wanted to treat me for my birthday and we went in to here while visiting. Prices were good, had a nice big pot of tea with more than enough milk (I like milky tea and there is usually not enough milk) so that was a pleasant surprise. The cakes were absolutely delicious, between 3 of us we had 3 different flavours, all came with free cream (which was unexpected but a lovely touch) and the service was great. Loved the furnishings and decor and will definitely be going back there on my next visit

H. B.

Lovley place to stop for a brew and a slice of the best cake I've ever had. Very helpful and friendly staff. I will definitely be coming back.

T. P.

Friendly service, had good coffee and cake

A. T.

Good range of cakes. Friendly & helpful staff. Cosy tearoom, thank you.

p. b.

came with my mum lovely hot chocolate and fruit scone with clotted cream and jam 😋 yummy

D.

Long wait for food but when it arrived it was lovely. Very cold in there as they kept one door open so a gale force wind blowing through. Staff seemed a bit stressed, had to wait ages for our drinks , we got the food first

B. D.

Good coffee taste, nice food, pleasant staff

C. H.

Love Capabiliteas, the staff are friendly and helpful, the tables are always clean and the menu has choices for everyone. There is a gorgeous selection of cakes and the service is really quick. I can't recommend it highly enough.

R. B.

Only popped in for a coffee which was great. Our server was very friendly and the coffee was lovely

F. B.

Really sweet place with its charming mismatched cups and saucers. Staff are friendly and efficient. Only criticism, and it's the same wherever I go, they only half fill the teapot. When you order a pot of tea, you don't expect to have half measures.

r. c.

Visited this Trentham shopping village today to spend a day continuing our Christmas shopping list, decided to walk into this place to grab some lunch, we really enjoyed the whole experience, there are individual small and medium size tables for two or four and a great big knights of the round table table where you can choose to sit and be your self or share your dining space with fellow visitors, I must admit I found this most envigurating, it wasn't long before we were sharing conversation and joking with fellow diners sharing this giant table for 12 the conversations had to take a back seat once the food arrived and the food was tip top. The welcome and service in this establishment truly represents the best of Stokie hospitality we shall make a bee line for this place next time we visit Trentham shopping village. Thank you all at Capabilitea. The name by the way is taken from the name of the Trentham Gardens Designer

R. c.

It's lovely especially the Snickers cheesecake, cheesy oatcakes and the cappuccino is lovely too . And the shandy.

A. B.

Really liked this place. Managed to capture the tea room vibe without venturing into the cheesy vintage look. Fab food and great cakes along with really good coffee and service make this a great choice in amongst the highly competitive marketplace of the Trentham shopping village.

L. H.

Basic food at a reasonable cost, quite tasty. Plenty of room for children and a push chair, short of staff obviously as lots of dirty dishes plied up on tables.

R. C.

The staff were very friendly, food was good, soup of the day was lovely. Milkshakes on the other hand, were sadly lacking. Reasonable price. Nice decor too.

c. b.

Loverly coffee and a nice piece of cake. First visit very clean and staff very helpful

S. W.

Lovely staff and a nice range of cakes. Great for a quick cuppa and a slice. Dropped a star because the Scones I had were good but I have had better. A little fussy? Perhaps, but the cakes I have had here before are excellent, so it was a judgement by comparing to previous visits. Highly recommend and will love even more if they get their scones perfected!!

V. M.

Always good. Lovely staff and good food and coffee

T. D.

Good coffee, awesome cake, great place to people-watch from the windows! Unlike other reviews we had really fast service (Tuesday lunchtime)

A. B.

The teas and coffees here were.okay, pretty standard fayre really. I was a little bit disappointed with the cake we ordered however as it was a little dry and difficult to eat. It's also a shame that they've decided to keep the toilets closed. I appreciate the current situation makes things a bit more difficult but it's nothing that a regular cleaning couldn't handle. Overall it was an okay visit. I would however recommend that it's made a bit more obvious with signage as to what food is available as it wasn't clear at the counter what was on sale (the menus are only currently located on tables so you'd have to go up a second time if you wanted to order food that is non caked based).

P. M.

If you are in Trentham Gardens and need a cuppa then look no further than Capabilitea !! Food and service OUTSTANDING !! Thanks to all the Staff , will be back soon for sure !!

M. T.

It's OK. Staff are pleasant, but I wouldn't say particularly welcoming. It's rather warm inside on a hot day, and not much table space outside. Place is a bit rough around the edges, so I'd expect prices to be maybe 20% lower than they are. Food tastes pretty good. Milkshake was a bit smaller than I'd have expected, and not quite as cold as I'd have expected.

C. S.

Always our first stop at Trentham Retail Village. Small family business tasty cakes and snacks.

J. C.

We enjoyed our visit here and couldn't complain about what we had. The service was a little bit chaotic but everyone was friendly and accommodating.

N. S.

Great service. Excellent flat white and a really fresh and tasty Victoria sponge.

S. W.

Bit cramped but do you know why.. it's because this place is an absolute gem of a find and worth the trip! My little one my mother in law and I enjoyed a lovely trip here! The tea is delightful and the cakes are delicious. Complete win for me!
