We were visiting Oundle for the first time and wanted tea and cake. My wife was craving a flapjack or granola cake and this place had both. In fairness the cakes were excellent (I had an almond slice). But the service was lamentable. Even when I was ordering it was clear that the girl serving me couldn’t care less. The tea took ages and they forgot the cake, and it was hardly a complex order and there was no queue. And because they use trendy teapots it was impossible to get anything other than very weak tea, too weak even for me and I am notorious for liking weak tea. I suspect that is why they try to flog you (as an upgrade) ‘superstrength tea’ when you order. The chap serving alongside th...

After a visit to my hairdresser I popped in here for a snack lunch. Friends had recommended. A large table inside the door was about to be vacated by two customers so I sat down as there didn’t appear to be any other tables available.I chose an Americano and a Croissant as there were no Cheese Scones or Sausage Rolls. The coffee was ok. I felt uncomfortable as a group of adults with a baby came into the Cafe and started to remove chairs from my table (implying I was taking up a large table for just one person! . I enquired where the ladies toilet was and was directed to the rear of the Cafe. I hadn’t realised there were more tables at the back. The toilet left a lot to be desired! A notice a...

This was our first visit here. The coffee shop has an interesting and varied selection of dishes and drinks on the menu. Our lunch was beautifully presented and delicious. Well done to the chef. He must have been working flat out as the cafe was busy. The staff were welcoming and helpful. However, they could benefit from an extra member of staff as empty dishes weren't cleared quick enough and left on the tables making the place look cluttered and a bit chaotic by the time we left. Service was slow for our drinks and it became a bit stressful for us as we were left waiting too long. For this reason I couldn't give it a 5. Management needs to take staffing levels into account on busy days an...

This is a very different eatery….and lovely!……there are a number of rooms all decorated very differently….with helpful friendly staff. We’ve had a number of meals here over the past 18 months. They’ve all been very delightful, delicious, good portion sizes and reasonably priced. The menu shows a creative culinary team at work. The dishes have unusual combinations of ingredients, nicely cooked and presented and it always works…very yummy! They are also well known for their excellent collection of teas and coffees.

On a Thursday morning, this cafe was pleasantly bustling, but the staff were friendly and attentive nonetheless. We sampled a selection of breakfast and lunch foods and it was all beautifully presented and made with lovely fresh ingredients. I was particularly impressed with the wide selection of teas. Couldn’t think of a nicer place to spend the morning grazing and people-watching!

Superb bacon sandwich. The vanilla milkshakes used to also be fantastic but were very poor on this occasion. I queried if ice cream was no longer added to the mixture but was advised mine had received 4 scoops! Can't understand therefore why it wasn't particularly cold and quite watery. Bring back the old milkshakes please.

I ordered a crayfish open sandwich and a cold americano. After a long delay my coffee arrived, very watery and tasteless . Finally after an hour got my lunch, crayfish open sandwich. Soggy bread, little salad and a few crisps, hardly worth £9.95. Disgusting single toilet. Never again!

We popped in for a late lunch. I had a lovely stuffed pretzel and my other half had the croque monsieur homemade and he declared it the best he’s had. The tea selection is vast and I had the Darjeeling which was delicious and the cafe has a lovely comfortable feel. Réservez une table maintenant
