As a frequent commuter down to London the Cafe/shop at Chesterfield station is a vital stop for supplies, whether a cup of tea, some breakfast, or just paracetamol or hayfever tablets for those days when you really need them, and all delivered with friendly service and a smile

As a regular (very early) morning traveller to London I rely on this place for my cuppa at least a couple of times most weeks. Sarah and Dan are always cheerful, friendly and upbeat, and have never once grumbled about me being fussy about my tea. Always set me up for a good day. Appreciated!

Cafe Local Chesterfield station feels like a 2nd home. My daily visits do not disappoint. While I keep it simple with my order I’m always greeted with a smile. Today was Sarah and helpful as ever thank you.

Lovely little shop/cafe. The staff are always very friendly. Coming into the shop in the morning before my train for a drink, a bite to eat, and a warm smile always makes my morning

Shops great. Has everything needed for a train station shop. Good prices. Owner was lovely, really polite and handled a sadly very drunk and disorderly customer amazingly!
