I’m surprised there are so many bad reviews because we really enjoyed our lunch. I had Mediterranean salad which was delicious and contained about £2 worth of artichokes! My elderly mother didn’t complain about the coffee so it must have been good! The lady who served us was lovely and very patient with my mum. It’s dog friendly too.

The first cafe was full so we came to this one which was quite empty (probably should have seen this as a warning sign). Cafe run by teenagers, had to send a cappuccino back because it tasted like a watery mocha. Food took an hour to arrive and one of the dishes was only a peanut butter on sourdough toast so when this came out with our full English breakfasts, it was cold, dry and not on sour dough but maybe some whole grain bread from the local coop down the road. We witnessed another customer who had come in shortly after us, walking to the kitchen doorway to ask where his sausage sandwich was after an hour of being there too :/ defo skip this one!

Waited 45 mins just for a bacon sandwich. People were leaving and cancelling their orders. The service needs a real overhaul.

Friendly efficient service with delicious cakes & at last somewhere that serves hot coffee. The coffee & walnut cake & biscoff cheesecake were amazing ?.

We were looking forward to dining in one of Henley's cafes. The first one we passed was full so we chose this one, big mistake. We ordered a pancetta and brie panini and a cooked ham salad sandwich plus drinks which came to £17.53 in total. Firstly the place appeared to be run by kids and they were letting their friends go behind the counter which was unhygienic. Our table had stuff still on it which I had to ask one of the lads to clear on his way back from serving. We ordered our meal at 1pm. It took till 1.40pm for our food to arrive and when it finally did, my husband ended up with a processed ham and cheese sandwich and my panini was dry and floury. Apart from the obvious waiting issue the actual food itself was not worth the price. We will not be visiting this cafe again.

Very friendly. However, I was disappointed that no prices were shown on the menu behind the counter. We will visit again and check prices before we order.

Average at best. Saturday afternoon and place was not busy and atmosphere felt awkward. Staff as well looked like they couldn’t be bothered being there. Food was decent enough but not great.

Not a good experience! £22.40 for 2 paninis an Americano coffee,a tea and a bowl of chips. The drinks were served reasonably quickly but the food took 45 mins. Cheap French stick plastic ham and cheese, yuk! Same with mine, tomato, avocado and salad covered in balsamic vinegar, again yuk! Chips were covered in meat fat. The waitresses were in and out the supermarket next door 4 times while we were waiting so obviously they had run out of everything! Nothing Italian about the food. Never again!

So looking forward to a spot of lunch today!..alas it was very disappointing. We had to wait 45 minutes for 2 Paninis & a portion of Fries..our tea & coffee were finished by the time our food came. The fries arrived 10 minutes before our Paninis. They were Served in a tiny bowl & seemed to be coated in what seemed to be a meat residue from previous orders? The Paninis were semi toasted french stick! No Italian Ham..but cheap Ham & my hubands Advacado/tomato Panini was drizzled in too much Balsamic Vinegar. Spoilt. £23.00 for disappointing food. Won't be going again.
Amazing! Just had 2 full English breakfast and amazing quality food Great staff. Great

A very pleasant place to enjoy a coffee and cake. The friendly service is excellent. The coffee is good and there is usually a reasonable selection of cakes. Space is at a premium as the interior is not extensive. Outside seating is available. In good weather, this is popular, but be advised that the road can be busy. The proximity to the traffic would not be my choice

Can’t believe they don’t have a high chair for a toddler and no kids menu either! I asked the waitress “Has nobody ever asked you for a high chair before” to which she replied “No never”. Really???!!!

No prices on the coffee or cake menu board, 2 Americano coffee and 1 cake for £9.90, fair enough but when I asked for milk had to pay 50p each extra, not experienced this anywhere ever! Quite wrong in my opinion, service was not amazing or friendly, won't go again, plenty more coffee shops around

Stopped at Dolce half way through our bike ride today. Really friendly service and tasty coffee and cake.
