Do not order a quality bacon bap, unless you want quality fat. It was disgusting

Great place for afternoon tea and cakes..... Even do proper cream teas.... So much better than Cafe Nero which is a couple of doors down.... Impromptu stop and well worth it.... Super desserts and

I politely asked for a table for 4 people. The waitress pointed in the direction of 2 low sofas & I was told to get a menu & order at the counter. I asked could we sit at a table after as we wanted to eat lunch. She said in an unbelievably rude & aggressive manner.. "just for you, I will tell you, again!!!, get a menu & order at the counter"!! Fortunately her rudeness happened immediately when we went in, resulting in my immediate 'no, she's being rude' & prompt exit, before experiencing any more of her shameful behaviour or provide their business with our money. Genuinely glad to have escaped & walked out & won't ever return. Basil Fawlty, but without the laughs. Plenty of choice of lovely cafes & restaurants elsewhere in Stratford Upon Avon.

Twice now I’ve been into this cafe and been treated very rudely by the same member of staff. The first time because there was not any space for us but this information could have been delivered kindly and the second time on a different day we tried to enter at 3pm only to be told it was closed (it closed at 4pm). We just wanted to come for some cake as a belated Mother’s Day but I just don’t think we will come again. It’s a shame as the food is great as are other members of staff.

It's a really nice place to have traditional hot pie. Ordered curry chicken hot pie, fantastic with that sauce. Beautiful unicorn fantasy cake, not so sweet, which is

Beautiful cafe, love the nooks and crannies. Scones were amazing and they welcome

Everything about Hobsons was good. Service was amazing, and food was probably some of the best ive had. definitely deserves the 5 starsKid-friendliness: very kind.

The vibe of vintage and ancient fits the historical city quite well. Liked the consistency in design, decoration, and the staff's uniform.We went for cream tea, which my friend chose; I had Irish coffee. Scone were ok, but not soft enough, in my opinion. My coffee was a bit more bitter than I thought for that type of drink. Ordered a slice of cake, which was also quite ok, went well with the drinks.There was a long waiting line. There were tables for groups of 4 and above, rather than 2. So, if 2 people occupy a table of 4, it will reduce the effectiveness of sitting other groups.The service was a bit chaotic; the one took our order was a bit unfriendly, yet we got what we wanted at the end.
Mind blowing selection of tasty food. In a lovely building.

Really glad we chose this cafe. It had a cosy feel to it. Food was excellent and generous portion sizes. Reasonably priced. Amazing baguettes and scones, would definitely go back.

DO NOT USE THIS ESTABLISHMENT!!!!!!!!!To start with, I'd like to point out that the food was very nice.The problem, and it's a very big problem, Is the staff. If I could give one star, I would. The attitude of staff is appalling. The waitresses are just rude, not able to speak English very well and dismissive. The staff at the counter are plainly inconvenienced by having to serve customers. I was overcharged. An item on the menu was£3.99, I was charged £4.99. When I queried this, I was told that the price had increased. I asked for the £1 back and was met with a three way argument from two members of staff and comments in their own language from the waitresses.I never received the money that I was overcharged, despite promises that I would get it.Stratford-upon-Avon do not need people like you and you give the service industry a bad name.

If you want to come to a place with overpriced food, small portions, confusing menu and staff who won’t offer any empathy or alternatives to issues with the food- then you’ve come to the right place!The drinks are lovely, but honestly save your money with everything else.Also; their bacon baguette is not served in an actual baguette and they will fight you over this. A slice of bread is not a baguette, so stop charging £1.50 extra on the basis that it’s a baguette. Whoever writes the menu, please google what a baguette is.Bread rant over.
