"I came here with my husband for a birthday lunch treat. We ordered a cheese and tomato toastie, prawn sandwich, carrot cake, and a vegan chocolate and raspberry cake. I didn't enjoy the food as much as I would have liked. The sandwich was okay. The bread was fresh and you could tell it wasn't your standard supermarket loaf, but it lacked something. It would have worked better with sourdough. Both the toastie and sandwich came with vegetable crisps (which were delicious) and coleslaw, which we both didn't like because the cumin seeds added to it were so overpowering. I was most disappointed with the cake, or to be precise, my slice of cake. The carrot cake was 10 out of 10: sweet, moist, and with just the right amount of spices. The chocolate raspberry cake, on the other hand, was dry and one-dimensional in flavor. I'm not sure where the raspberry went. I'm guessing it may have been blended into the cake mix, because you couldn't taste it at all. I managed to take a picture of the store (before lunch) and wanted to pop in after lunch to get some fabric, but it was closed and there was no sign to say why. It's a very popular place and the car park is busy. The garden space is brilliant but there are lots of wasps flying around, which might bother some people but we were fine with that. I'd probably come again but would skip the sandwiches and opted in for a full English instead.

Cold and weak Flat White, showed promise from the Decor, but sadly no! Rubbish service, asked for sweetener then had to go and get my own spoon to stir it. Not what I would expect. I will stick with Gail’s in Henley, I suggest you do the same. Service: Dine in Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: £1–10 View menu

Perfect place to stop for a coffee and a treat at the end of a long hike. Very friendly people, attentive with happy vibes. My friend said their soup was amazing. I only had chips with cheese which I liked. Their decaf latte was delicious and didn’t taste weak like some other places which I was very pleased with. I’m definitely going there again.

Enjoyed visiting the cafe. Brownie and iced latte were both delicious. Friendly staff and a nice relaxing atmosphere. Reasonably priced. Parking: Limited parking at the front, more round the back. If the cafe was at full capacity then there might not be enough parking for everyone, but it wasn't a problem when I visited (sunny holiday weekday) Dietary restrictions: Gluten free cake available Service: Dine in Meal type: Other Price per person: £1–10 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Parking space: Plenty of parking Parking options Free parking lot

"Service was terrible. We had to keep going to the bar to ask for drinks, condiments, cutlery etc Large fish and chips was the same size as a co diners small except a few more chips.when this was mentioned to the waiter we were offered some extra chips. Both the fish chips were not freshly cooked and had obviously been cooked and kept warm for some time. Not crispy. Ketchup mayonnaise served in the same pot!! We went to the bar to pay and a customers dog was lying in front of the restaurant exit in full view of all the bar staff. He didn’t move the dog out of the way so we had to step over the dog to get out. No one asked him to move the dog from being a trip hazard. When paying the bill we asked that the discretionary 12% service charge be removed as we didn’t get good service. We were told they were not able to remove it so gave us a complementary drink instead but no apology. Walking to the car on checking the bill we noticed we had been charged for a bottle of Prosecco instead of a glass. Went back again no apology from the young man got the bottle refunded but still out of pocket on the service charge against the £32.95 bottle There was a lady behind the bar that had just started service who was the only person to offer an apology. Such a shame as we went regularly during the summer and food was always good. Also prices on website are not the same as on the restaurant menu. We Won’t rush back"
