About Caruso Cafe Boutique
Caruso Cafe Boutique is an Italian-owned coffee shop in Derby, found inside the Derbion with its address given as 6 St Peter's St. The kitchen makes food to order, and the toasties come with salad and coleslaw. Drinks go beyond coffee, with milkshakes and hot chocolate on the menu. A selection of cakes and snacks sits alongside the hot food, so the cafe offers hot food, cakes, snacks and drinks under one roof.

Customer Review Summary
Coffee is the draw at this Derby cafe, with most reviewers calling it the best in town, piping hot, and strong enough to wake a drinker up. Several mention the Italian owners, and one Italian reviewer says it feels like being back home. Food sits close behind, with toasties served with salad and coleslaw singled out, plus food made to order and a choice of cakes and snacks. One family says the children love the milkshakes and hot chocolate. Reviewers describe friendly service with a welcoming, cosy feel, and one notes that staff greet loyal regulars by name and know how they take their drinks. The one clear complaint comes from a single reviewer whose cappuccino tasted like milk with a few drops of coffee and arrived overfilled and leaking. Another reviewer describes the owner pulling out tables and chairs to make room for wheelchairs, pushchairs and zimmer frames, and a different one says he made an iced latte even though it was not on the menu.

“First time I have been to Caruso’s. Great food, best coffee I have had in a very long time (since my last Italy visit) and brilliant service by friendly staff who know how to treat their customers.”
- Angela Kilcoyne
“Our favourite cafe in Derby. Tony and Jordan are lovely, they both make the best coffee and it's always piping hot, which I love - and is not always the case! Very reasonable prices. Food is great too, especially the toasties with salad & coleslaw. My son and my nieces love the milkshakes and hot chocolate. Highly recommended. Best place in town by far ❤️”

“The cappuccino I had was one of the worst I ever tasted, it was like milk with a few drops of coffee. And it was overfilled and leaking.”
