Creating a real atmosphere in a coffee shop is not an easy thing. So many places have nice coffee or nice food or just nice people. Never before have I been to a coffee shop that serves such fantastic coffee and amazing food in such a brilliant atmosphere and served by people that truly care about what they do (as opposed to the mindless robots in any coffee shop chain). I've also never been to a coffee shop and had two flat whites in a row, seriously the coffee really is that good. The Nocturne deserves more than 5/5 in any review. Oh and you can learn to play the piano as well!

Delicious pastries, very tasty coffee and wonderful music by the pianist. Would definitely recommend. Bookcase for self published authors a lovely addition :)

Everyone who lives in Stockport needs to pay a visit to this lovely little café in Shaw Heath. It's quite simply gorgeous! The prices are so reasonable and customer service is amazing. Forget the big chain coffee shops it's time to support local businesses like The Nocturne Café. You will love the coffee! I will be back and bringing my friends and family x

I happened across this cafe today. They are working hard to measure up to their values and doing well. Delicious coffee and honey cake made by the owner. What a pleasure to chat with guests whilst someone plays the piano. Relaxing atmosphere, friendly and ethical. I shall be back this week. I wish them success in their endeavours.

Absolutely gorgeous cafe. The food (home made cakes, croissants etc.) and coffee are excellent (beans roasted by the cafe themselves!), and there are a wide range of other drinks, such as luxuriant hot chocolate, beautiful home blended Chai, iced teas and more. All this coupled with live piano music, poetry nights, self published book library and a warm welcome from owners Charlotte and Daniel. You must give this place a visit. You won't regret it. Wood fired pizza comng soon too!

Lovely little gem I found while looking for somewhere to spend a few hours while my car was being serviced. Chatted with the owner who was really friendly and she also played a bit of piano for the customers. Lovely coffee as well :)

My wife sent me a link about this place when it was new, and then I forgot about it. In Stockport again, I remembered it. A lovely café, but it was their penultimate day of trading. They move to premises in Buxton in May. So I shall see them there.

Absolutely lovely time. Food was delicious and it was such a beautiful environment. The staff who served us was so kind and both me and my partner had a great time.

Lovely atmosphere in the cafe and fantastic service. We ordered coffee and stayed to play chess, the owner also joined to play the piano with us :)

I love visiting The Nocturne. Coffee and food are great and Charlotte and Daniel are lovely. If you like classical music and coffee, you need to visit.

Had an absolutely lovely lunsj here, excellent service and a lovely locale! The owners have done an amazing job creating a cafe to a level I've not seen before. Thank you Charlotte for giving us an amazing lunch experience

I’ve visited 100’s of bespoke coffee shops around the world. “The Nocturne” is a pure delight! It stands out for exceptional, creative presentation, with genuine quality, and the Owners/Operators provide a memorable experience you’ll always remember. It’s worth a trip just for the experience.

my friends and I are staying in Buxton for a short break and found this little gem nearby. the owner is absolutely lovely and offers friendly, considerate and enthusiastic service for all customers. the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming and the food/drinks were delicious and beautiful! I would highly recommend a visit here and would definitely return! thank you so much to the owner for making our first morning here so pleasant! :)

Lovely tea and coffee and a Viennese vibe. Nice cakes and light snacks and some fantastic live piano music as we ate.

I visited this cafe with a friend for brunch on a late Sunday morning. With the classical music on in the background and the gentle conversations from the other diners, it felt so relaxing. The owners were lovely. The food was delicious. We had eggs benedict and French onion soup. The coffee was lovely too. I will be definitely visiting again.

Piano Lessons with Daniel Dudek at The Nocturne Cafe, Buxton. Daniel is a talented, very capable musician who also happens to be an excellent teacher. Combining practical instruction, illustrative demonstrations, hints and tips with good, clear and useful explanations of relevant theory means that, in the time I’ve spent with him, I’ve developed more quickly, and learned far more, than I could realistically have hoped. Daniel’s approach encourages and develops a realistic confidence, which means I’m now able to tackle pieces which, previously, I would have regarded as too complex or beyond my capabilities. Whether you’re a complete novice looking for someone to help you get started, an existing pianist wanting to improve your technique and capabilities, or a serious student intent on working through intermediate and higher grades, Daniel provides tuition, support and valuable help to achieve your goals. Very highly recommended.

These guys do there own coffee blend and it is one of the best blends I have had. The food is equally as good...it is also homemade...and if you are in at the right time you will hear these guys playing the piano!!!!

Lovely little cafe - nice relaxing atmosphere with the classical music and decor. Really yummy toastie and frappe at a great price and with great service! Will definitely be going back!

Lovely coffee, excellent cake and a beautiful pianist! Brilliant idea and a great addition to Shaw Heath. Thanks

Amazing hot chocolate! Lovely cakes! Such nice people running it and nicely themed, music makes it very relaxing. Highly recommend. Dogs allowed and had treats! Also good for children. All round perfect.

Nocturne is an odd place Despite being brand new, there is way more polish than would normally be expected, with a lot of rustic/industrial charm Despite it being away from the main "independent" area (although only 2 mins from the A6), it offers top notch in-house roasted coffee, and snacks and sandwiches from one of the high end bakeries nearby and is significantly more authentic than many other so-called indies And despite it being in the middle of a mostly closed former high street, it has all the signs of it being a fulcrum to see the area renewed, and should you want to see a return to a more community orientated environment, its exactly the kind of place that we all need to see more of So if you like good coffee, excellent food and a relaxing place to sit and read a book, you can't go wrong here!

It is a fantastic place. I love the coffee, and the cakes are excellent. I am so happy I have found the place. And I've almost forgotten the last, not least, piano music. Thank you for the great start to Sunday.

Wow! What a revelation! If you like classical music, relaxing, and great coffee and food, then this is the place for you, it doesn't seem much from the outside but once you go in you will be entranced by the atmosphere and quirky but stylish design. There is a piano in the window as you enter, enough seating for it not be crowded and classical music sheets carefully placed about the walls. All the food is home cooked including the delicious cakes 😋. The coffee is one of the best I have tried and as a coffee lover that's a must. I will definitely be returning here soon, even if it's out of my way, highly recommended 🙂.

What a lovely place! Coffee tastes great and the cinnamon bun thing was just amazing. Friendly staff, very relaxing place.

Fantastic coffee and a lovely environment. We loved the music and will definitely be back.

Beautiful little Café and a hidden gem. Playing soothing piano music, lovely coffee, welcoming staff and just a lovely relaxing vibe. Just what I need as a busy mummy!
