The rainbow sandwich..avocado, lettuce, mixed veg was delicious. The butterscotch cake also good. The latte coffee..one vanilla, one salted caramel were awful because they were just too sickly sweet. Overloaded with sugar and concentrated syrupy gloop masking the weak coffee flavour. View from the window looking out of Bracknell and Waitrose roof. Best staff member was the pot lady clearing up after customers with such care and friendliness. Would visit again but avoid the fancy yucky coffee.

Disappointingly Tiny Coffee at M&S CafeMy experience at the M&S Cafe today was deeply disappointing, marking my first and likely last visit. I ordered a flat white, anticipating a moment of relaxation and a caffeine fix. To my dismay, the coffee arrived quickly but in a cup so diminutive it could easily be mistaken for part of a child's tea set. It was gone in merely two sips. This left me wondering, M&S, why prioritize profits over customer satisfaction and experience? It's a suggestion from a dissatisfied customer that perhaps it's time to take a page out of the playbooks of coffee giants like Starbucks and Costa, who understand the value of serving a decent-sized coffee. Unfortunately, unless there are significant improvements, I will not be returning.

Decent enough.
Matt Musgrove
Not a great

Nice tea and coffee but there prices are high and they don't cater for gluten free people
Liz Davies
The drinks queue was very slow, so my hot food was ready before I had been given my coffee and found a table

They don’t have half of the fancy menu they offer. They just say sorry every time. Slow to get your order. For some reason they operate very inefficiently. It’s just a pity, this place has a big potential.

Friendly staff, clean and quality food. Thanks

Compared with other Marks and Sparks Cafes, often characterised by broken coffee machines, long waits and terrible management, we had a wonderful experience at M&S in Bracknell recently.Whilst the food is of course, and remains super pricey (35 quid for a light snack for three) the view out of the immense picture windows is unique at the Bracknell store and so long as you don't suffer from vertigo, really enjoyable.But what really stood out in Bracknell was the table staff who really went the extra mile. A member of our party is cœliac and can't eat wheat and the friendly Mediterranean waitress just did everything to make sure he had what he needed.Five stars and a big thankyou! ?Dietary restrictions: They really went the extra mile to offer us wheat free bread etc.

Always good service here, I often bring my baby and toddler on my own and always find the staff to be helpful, bringing my food over and grabbing condiments etc. The food is tasty, reasonably priced and usually quick. Good options for kids. The café has full length windows on 2 sides with views over Bracknell on one side. This does mean it gets a bit hot on a sunny day. Busiest time is normally late morning in my experience, but I've never had an issue finding a table.Kid-friendliness: Excellent kids options, plenty of high chairs, staff are helpful if you have young kidsParking: Closest parking is The Avenue connected to M&S so you don't even have to go outside. Cheaper parking is available elsewhereWheelchair accessibility: 2 lifts inside M&S also serving the Avenue multistorey car park
Food tasted really nice but choice was unfortunately limited at 1pm . Staff were polite, and it was worth waiting for the food.

M&S prides itself on being top notch as a brand but I feel it's cafés could do with a little shake up. It's true it is an in-house pit stop and doesn't pretend to be anything else. The staff I have encountered have always been helpful and accommodating. Reasonably clean and fairly streamlined navigation through the fare on offer but a pitiful selection for any dietary requirements other than what is considered 'normal'. So not a great choice for vegans. Come on M&S - the 21st century awaits.

No atmosphere at all. Staff milking about but didn't look happy. Hot food finished at 4 so decided not to bother

Food was good. We waited 40 mins for jacket potatoes while 25 mins for pasta, soup and wrap.

Very modern furniture setting with all the usual M & S food and drinks. Will definitely go there next time we're in Bracknell.
