Our Bookable Quiet Room

We are pleased to announce the opening of our new bookable quiet room. We had a small space which we weren’t sure what to do with. Having an autistic nephew who is sensitive to noise, a father who, post-stroke also struggles with noise and knowing we have many customers with hearing issues and other sensory struggles, we chose to create a space for them.

Our bookable room has capacity for us to 10 people and is located as far away from sources of noise within the coffee shop as possible. We don’t have any background music in the room and we request customers keep noise to a minimum, avoiding the use of headphones, laptops and other distractions whist using the space to give people who need it, a quieter area to enjoy.

The room can be booked by anyone for a small fee on an hourly basis. When booked, the door can be closed and solely for the use of those paying customers. When the room has not been booked, the door will remain open and available for anyone to use and extra capacity for the rest of Citrus.

If you’d like to book the room, simply speak to the team and we will arrange the booking for you. NB: A minimum charge for 4 people will be incurred for parties of 4 or less.

About Citrus

Citrus: The History of our Little Coffee shop in Kelsall, Chester

Citrus is a partnership between co-owners, Jake and Ross, both fully-trained Baristas. In 2017, they happened across a small business in the heart of the Cheshire countryside, Kelsall where the owner was looking to sell in order to relocate.

Back then, The Greedy Pig was a small village cafe, only a couple of miles from the centre of the historic, walled city of Chester, popular with cyclists and walkers, run by the then owner, Raina. While returning a refurbished laptop to one of Ross’s computer support customers, Jake noticed the ‘For Sale’ sign in the shop window.

As circumstances had it, Jake was facing redundancy from his managerial position running a chain of fitness centres and Ross was looking to leave his supervisory role at Costa in one of the UK’s business stores.

After some very clever under cover investigations and many conversations at home, the pair decided to invest Jake’s recent inheritance from his uncle investing in buying the business.

Jake and Ross began making their mark and making improvements to the store. Using Ross’s extensive combined experience within IT and the Coffee Industry (over 23 years combined) he began to forge a new brand, make use of technology to improve efficiency and the customer experience.

Within twelve months, Citrus has become multi award-winning: Trip Advisor awarded the pair with a Certificate of Excellence and since then the reviews have gone from strength to strength increasing their ratings across all social media platforms to 5 stars. The Environmental Health Department awarded them a 5-star rating in food hygiene and again in 2021, Citrus was born.

After turning around the fortunes of the shop and attracting a regular customer base from miles around with a reputation of the best coffee and freshest food around, it was time to make the shop their own and better reflect the freshness of what they do.

Intenso, Citrus’s own, bespoke, 5-origin blend of coffee has won industry acclaim and is roasted by the same roasters used by Harrods. The shop's own exlcusive coffees have also won a 1-star and 2-star Great Taste Award. Constant training and re-investment have joined the ethos of sustainability and environmentally conscious decision making within the business and Jake and Ross continue to strive for more for they business and it’s customers.

Finally, by popular demand, in summer 2023, Jake and Ross bought Number 1 Hair and Beauty (next door), knocked through and extended. Citrus went from a capacity of 20 to around 50 inside and out!

I am so grateful for this little gem in our village. Always love chatting with owners Ross and Jake, dogs are warmly welcomed and the coffee is top notch....and I'm very fussy about my coffee!!

Where we are

Why visit Citrus

We an environmentally friendly coffee shop. We like to think we’re one of the best coffee shops within the Chester area but our customers hopefully agree!

We are also very fortunate to be surrounded by outstanding countryside. We are a few steps away from the Sandstone Trail, Delamere Forest is on our doorstep and we are walking distance from several popular local villages. Kelsall has one of the best village green spaces around with swing, play areas, a large park and activities for adults and children, we even have a zip line!

How to get to us

We are so simple to find it is untrue! We can easily be visited by car, foot, cycle or bus.

We are on the popular Manchester 100 cycle route, in fact, we are the first major official stop in the race.

We are directly on the 82 bus route from Chester to Northwich, the bus stops outside our shop! You can also connect using the 84 bus from Chester to Crewe. You would simply need to change at Tarvin with buses every 30 minutes.

If driving from Chester, leave the city toward Manchester on the A1, pass over the A55 roundabout at Vicars Cross and head straight. Continue all the way out of Chester through Littleton, past Tarvin on a straight road onto Kelsall Hill. Turn right at the bottom of the hill and follow Chester Road up the hill and the first major bend offers you a view of The Morris Dancer pub, Co-Op and we are opposite.

If heading from Northwhich, head toward Chester along the A556, carry on straight until the top of Kelsall Hill you find the lights, at which, turn left. Follow the road down the hill and around the bend. You will see the park on the left at which point you can park up and we are opposite the pub.
