"First thing to say about the Garden Cafe is that it doesn't have a garden. Had a joke with the lady owner about this, which led to some fun chat with her during the time I was there, sat near the counter. It was quiet--just a couple of other old codgers like me in reading their papers, one with the aid of a magnifying glass. I liked the lady owner a lot: she was proud of her cafe--and, to be fair, it lived up to her pride. It was brunchtime, so I had the Berkshire Breakfast, for £10.50, which they serve all day. A great name, by the way--why shouldn't Berkshire (my favourite county after Cornwall) get in on the act of naming breakfasts after itself? Also, I always appreciate the availability of an all-day breakfast, as I might want the meal which breaks my overnight fast at any time. The Berkshire Breakfast was big and filled my need, which is to get a protein boost to run on for the rest of the day. Two golden fried eggs, perfectly runny. Two good sausages--from Berkshire pigs I hope! Two good rashers. Mushrooms a little underheated. Half a tomato a little underheated. Four half slices of nice brown granary toast, buttered. Overall, a superb feast. Plus two cups of excellent coffee--and coffee's often the downfall of a food-oriented cafe. I had the village's Costa lined up, in case--but no need: this coffee was good and hot. Much love to the Garden Cafe."

My friends and I came here for my wedding. The staff was so friendly and warm, and the breakfast was just what we needed for the long day ahead. Well worth stopping in

Recently renamed ' Pangbourne 's Cafe , there 's always a friendly welcome at this family run cafe. The coffee is good and if you want a good breakfast this is definitely the place to come in Pangbourne. Highly recommended if you 're in the area.

First time visit. Ordered a breakfast and tea. The tea was weak with little taste, the bacon was over cooked for my liking, the tomato was tasteless, the egg, beans, sausage and toast were fine. The layout is pleasant and the service is ok. I was not feeling great due to a cold, so perhaps my taste buds were off. I will try another time. View menu

I have only ever ordered coffee or tea at this cafe because there was no vegan cake available, even though it was advertised on the blackboard outside. This has happened more than once. There doesn't seem to be a vegan menu, and it's unclear whether the soups are vegan or vegetarian. The lady who serves is always friendly. It is odd that someone can drink Costa coffee in the cafe when there is a notice stating that only food and drinks purchased on the premises can be consumed.

Welcoming experience, we were met with a friendly smile and chose the full English breakfast. Pleasantly surprised tea was included! The cafe filled up slowly with regulars whilst we waited, after not too long (but long enough to know the food was freshly prepared) a full plate of superbly cooked food arrived presented perfectly on a very hot plate, followed by granary toast with plenty of butter on it. All the ingredients were of top quality and at one point we wondered if we’d be able to finish it off.. The cafe seemed to have a number of regular customers and today has left us feeling we too will be back on a regular basis. It’s very refreshing to get what you pay for, served in good time...
