Serious coffee, busy tables

This page is for Jaunty Goat on Bridge Street, the first home of the Chester coffee name, not the Northgate Street vegan branch. Useful distinction; easy mistake.

It is polished independent coffee: Scandinavian-ish room, exposed Roman brickwork, vegetarian brunch, vegan-friendly choices, pastries, cakes and enough popularity to make timing matter.

Worth knowing

Jaunty Goat Bridge Street is a strong independent coffee stop, but it is not magic. It gets busy, it is cashless, and the menu is vegetarian. Those are facts, not complaints.
