"As a self-confessed coffee snob I was a little concerned what I'd do for my two- or three times daily fix when required to go for three days of training at a Biosciences company in Winnersh Triangle. I was put up in a decent Holiday Inn on-site but I'm not a fan of hotel coffee and anyway, their espresso machine wasn't turned on at breakfast time. Fortunately, immediately outside the hotel was Gather Gather where, I was relieved to discover, they know how to make a good coffee. It was as though a small part of Shoreditch had been transplanted into a Berkshire business park, but without the London prices: a double espresso cost £1.70 The decor is airy, clean and contemporary with plenty of wood and steel and no false ceiling, exposing the ventilation ducts; there's plenty of seating, inside and out. I've just read some of the other reviews and have to disagree with many of them; I found the staff helpful and pleasant, taking time to explain the lunch menu to customers in front of me, but best of all, they know how to make a decent espresso, something I didn't expect to find in Winnersh Triangle. And just to emphasise the hipster connection, they use Union beans, hand roasted in East London. I didn't sample any if the food, but it looked as though they cared about that, too. However, I can certainly recommend their coffee"
