This is a review of service, not the food, of the few biscuits I ordered for my children I can say they were of good quality so I imagine the rest of the food is also of a high standard. However. I took my family for breakfast, my husband was given a menu to choose from. He chose the eggs florentine, I went in to order his food for him, only to be told he can only order that on a sunday. You would only see that if you took the menus off the clipboard and why give that menu on a Saturday if you don’t serve it. The girl on the til turned to ask the chef if he would be able to do one as she agreed the menu was confusing(which i appreciated). The chef rudely said “no, come back tomorrow”. We won’t be coming back, ever, thanks. Rather spend my money somewhere with a better attitude towards customers

What a gorgeous place to eat as the intro to Stroud. Gorgeous food (all freshly made with seasonal produce).Large seating area and overall fantastic atmosphere.Drinks (hot and cold) options are quite wide so I am sure there's something for everyone.Also, maybe I am being a bit special but do try their tap water (you will see the little sink) it is as gorgeous as described.

This place is a gem! The food was fresh and delicious. We had the Donburi Bowl and the Hummus Platter. Both were amazing! I don’t live here but if I did I’d want to eat here a lot! I also had a lemongrass and ginger tea. No tea bags here. A mug of hot deliciousness - soooo good. Staff were friendly. Toilets were clean. Loved everything about our lunch here. Didn’t have one, but the cakes looked delicious. Dogs welcome too.

If I need motivation to get out of bed in the morning, I go here to have sourdough toast, scrambled tofu, tomatoes and mushrooms. They serve up the best coffee in town, in my opinion, and I particularly like the iced coffee with coconut milk. Mixed with their chai is nice too. They have a filtered water station, pastries, kombucha, and lovely fresh meals. Definitely one of the best restaurants in town and the staff is always good to me.Dietary restrictions: They help my daughter with gluten free

Was tempted by the “ chunky veg soup with miso “ and ordered a large portion .( £7.95 ) . When it appeared it was mainly liquid with very few pieces of veg . In no way was it chunky and I felt ripped off as carrots / spuds not high cost items and no excuse . The gluten free bread very also a very small portion but nice . Also coffee good . However came away still hungry and would think twice about returning .

Coffee was good. Food not as described. Mushrooms on toast consisted of we past their best mushrooms (very black) rock hard butter and toast on the side. So not mushrooms on toast. Whole place could do with attention to details, table was sticky, overall I was disappointed with level of cleanliness. Staff rather indifferent, lady on the till very welcoming but after that???

LOVED this cafe ! Busy but in a nice way which is a good sign. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating; we sat outside and plenty of space around our table and nice setting. The coffee was good but the pastries were AMAZING! We had pain au raisin and an almond croissant. The smells coming from the kitchen were divine.
