Cassandra's Cup - Menu

Delicious food, I had one of the nicest scones I've ever had and my daughter enjoyed her panini. Great location and cute interior.

Lovely pot of tea, but food was very overpriced, and not very good. Such a shame. I suppose they survive on their customers just passing through on the tourist trail.

Best scones I have ever tasted!! Delicious taste and baking point. Home made by the shop assistant this is a must try. Dotted cream (Rodda's) is the perfect company fo these scones. View menu

Highly recommended would definitely return. We popped in before our visit to Jane Austen’s. Very friendly staff and great coffee. Coffee shop is in my “nan with a backpack” Jane Austen video on YouTube.

Lovely tea house across the road from Jane Austen’s house in Chawton, Hampshire Cassandra’s Cup is open 7 days a week and has an amazingly quaint but beatiful interior with lovely cakes and an array of local produce to sell. A great place to rest your feet after walking about or to boost your energy for your next travels. Dogs are allowed at their outdoor seating.

I can honestly say this was probably the worst food I’ve had for a while and how you can mess up a very basic toasted sandwich is still a mystery! I’m not sure how they can justify the prices for food which is just so bad. Maybe it was a bad day for them but we both couldn’t face finishing what we ordered. Also, top tip, please use less salt!! We’d been meaning to try this place for ages and wish we hadn’t! My stomach is still recovering two days on…. View menu

Such a disappointing visit as we had been before and looked forward to it whilst spending the day in this lovely village. Most tables were cluttered with used dishes when we arrived (and whilst we sat and waited) even though the cafe was almost empty. When our chicken ceasar salads finally arrived they were hardly that. A very little lettuce, no parmesan, 3 miniscule pieces of chicken and too many very hard croutons (which I feared might break my teeth). Such a shame.

Dropped in for afternoon tea after visiting Jane Austen's house opposite. Had a wonderful afternoon tea each for the great value of £6 a fresh, warm, homemade scone, with Tiptree jam and Rodda's classic Clotted Cream, and a pot of tea for her and an excellent latte for me. Delightful decor, and friendly service, with china cups supended from the ceiling, and some delectable treats. It is also a small deli with a fine range of cheeses, sausages, bacon, wine, and other quality goodies. A lovely find!

The setting of Cassandra’s Cup is idyllic. A pretty tea shop, looking over the house where Jane Austin’s lived. In a stunning village with thatched cottages galore and next door to a fabulous pub. Being local, we often take visitors to Cassandra’s cup for coffee or an afternoon tea. This is always a pleasant experience, with delicious tea and cakes served in pretty bone china cups and saucers. On this occasion we decided to have spot of lunch. This was a big mistake. I think light lunches maybe a step too far for the staff. For a start we waited well over half an hour for our food. Then when it arrived, the caesar salads were tiny, there were no croutons, no parmesan cheese shavings or ancho... View menu
