The salt beef bagel is so good I wish I’d never had it.I’d love to share a photo, but the fact I haven’t is proof enough of how unbelievable this food is.We ordered two salt beef bagels to take out and even though the kitchen had closed, there were two hot and ready to go bagels waiting….My intention was to eat it when settled, but alas, I scoffed it in what I’d call an embarrassingly animalistic way whilst navigating my way through the Marlow traffic.I then went on to order the same.I’d order this every single day of my life.No food tastes good anymore.This is the best salt beef bagel I’ve had.And yes, I’m going out there and stating it beats Brick Lane.Perfect combo of mustard, pickles and beef. The bagel is the perfect combo of soft and yet toasted.Incredible service, always with a smile.I’m just gutted that I can’t eat this three times a day, everyday.Perfect ♥️

Had a very scrummy breakfast today. Crispy bacon (as requested), cheese and warm bagel with a great mug of tea. Super happy. Thank you.

Visited this cafe last Sunday with my husband and 18 month old son. It wasn’t particularly busy but when we arrived but we waited at the door for 10 mins to be greeted whilst the staff congregated at the back of the cafe. In this time, two tables had become free so I walked to the cashier and asked if we could sit at one of them, to which they said yes. Although it was yet to be cleared, we sat down and waited another 5 minutes before I got up to ask the staff to clear the table, especially, as my son was trying to touch the leftover food on the plates…we then waited another 5 minutes. Once the table was clear, we waited another 10 minutes for our menus, by which point my son was getting understandably restless, as were we, so we left. The elderly couple sat on the sofa opposite us saw the whole thing and even commented to us that it was awful service and we had been practically ignored the entire time.

My husband had the salt beef sourdough sandwich and I had the salt beef bagel, with hot beverages. The food and service were excellent even though it was really busy.

Hadn't been in a while and was surprised to see a sign saying 'we have a new chef, new menu'. We had a breakfast bagel and salt beef bagel with chips. The food was excellent! We only stumbled in because we were starving and weren't expecting such nice food. I don't know if it's always been like this but I highly recommend it!

Quite frankly, appalling. Coffee tepid. Food admitted yesterday’s, solid, scone supposedly heated was cold and almost felt wet. We left the food and told them we were leaving. And they had the audacity to charge us for the coffee. Appalling management, appalling food. Will never go back.

Went for lunch and had the salt beef, it was amazing. The service and atmosphere was also great.Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating, came in with 2 x buggies for a toddler and a baby.
Lovely atmosphere, very tasty and fresh food! Big selection of food and drink. Staff were very helpful and were all so friendly. Really nice!Kid-friendliness: Highchairs available. Staff were very accommodating to children and even made room for the buggies.

My son and I went to this beautiful little cafe for brunch last Sunday after a cold, wet football match, and had such a lovely, warm experience. Sarah and Lucy were wonderfully kind, tweaking our order to suit my vegan diet and my son's greedy palate:) It made for a great time together and we will definitely go back - especially if left to my 10 year old, who said how he always absolutely loved going to Strawberry Grove for their happy decor, their delicious food and the friendliness!

We are local, thought of trying this place after years, because we always goes to the other cafes. I must say I don’t think I’ll go again. The food chips and Avocado was average and my husband’s soup was terrible. The place was full of dogs ( while I love dogs) in a closed tiny space in winter the dog smell can be overbearing specially when you are suffering with Asthma.

A pleasant independent cafe, favoured with friends over the chain cafes in Marlow. Great selection of food and the cakes are amazing! Clean and warm atmosphere. Particular recognition to Sarah who accommodated myself and friend with her baby/pushchair. Very helpful and nothing was too much trouble.
