Society Coffee Shop & Bar
About This Spot
Stepping into Society Coffee Shop & Bar is like settling into a familiar, comfortably worn armchair—one that invites you to pause and stay a while. Nestled in the heart of Chesterfield, this warmly intimate space hums with gentle energy, where time slows just enough to savor a quiet conversation or a moment of reflection. The atmosphere strikes a careful balance, feeling both thoughtfully curated and effortlessly unpretentious, making it the kind of place where locals and visitors alike feel an easy sense of belonging.
The pace here is relaxed but never stagnant. Whether you arrive seeking a morning coffee to jumpstart your day, a midday refuge brimming with rich aroma and soft Northern Soul melodies, or a gentle evening interlude with a well-crafted espresso martini or a cold beer, Society’s rhythm adapts to your own. The décor whispers of small, personal touches—quaint, cozy, with an airiness that invites light to dance across vintage accents and worn wooden tables.
Here, the food and drink move beyond mere sustenance, becoming part of the moment. There’s a delicious comfort in a warm grilled cheese sandwich with its edges golden and just a little crisp, or the satisfying interplay of a fluffy doughnut paired with a carefully made mocha. Even the unexpected vegan offerings, brought in through thoughtful local collaborations, feel as integral as the familiar staples—celebrating a spirit of curiosity and inclusion that extends to every plate and cup.
Ultimately, Society is a place where the small joys come into focus: the rich texture of a flat white, the familiar crackle of good music, the friendly glance exchanged as you step inside. It’s a neighborhood haven where the everyday is quietly celebrated in the simple pleasure of good company and thoughtfully made food and drink.

Very warm atmosphere, quaintly decorated. A very tasty cheese toastie with the options to add chroizon and onions, etc.

Society Coffee Shop was recommended to us by the guy at the local bed shop and it certainly didn't disappoint. Fantastic grilled ham and cheese sandwiches with lovely cakes and some of the best coffee we've had in Chesterfield all served by friendly staff. To add to that, they were playing Northern Soul the whole time we were having lunch. We had a job to stop ourselves dancing around the cafe! We'll definitely be back.

The best coffee - flat white, we had for a long time! It had so much flavour and the consistency was spot on. The place has a nice feel to it and they serve beer as well. Their doughnuts looked amazing too. Maybe next time!

Luck & boo Vegan pop up I would highly recommend even as a meat eater myself I thought i would give it a go and I was pleasantly surprised. The buffalo cauliflower was the best cauliflower I've ever tasted.

Lovely compact coffee shop, always a great selection of music playing, varied selection of fresh donuts on offer. Toasties are lovely too. Staff very friendly and always make my dog feel welcome. Miles better than Nero’s or Costa, always support your independent shops. I haven’t tried the beers yet but will as Paulander is always on draft!

This is one of the best coffee shops I have ever been to. The staff are so lovely and the coffee is always extremely good no matter who makes it. Would also recommend the toasties! Wish I could pick it up and move it to where I live.

Best toasties in town, also had Spanish Latte (has a shot of condensed milk). Decent pot of tea too
