F&bis one of my favourite drop-ins for a high quality cappuccino and a delicious treat. The cafe is sublimely retro and the staff are friendly and helpful. Their breakfast and lunches are to die for! I would highly recommend .as it is the perfect place to go to with friends or family. The outside space is just as pleasant .

Got the BLT and a tea. It was delicious. Everyone there was so sweet and actually had a conversation with us, which as an American from the Midwest, I appreciate. It was a little warm inside, but we ate outside at very clean benches. I wish we would have been there early enough for breakfast ?

Lovely cafe, we had breakfast, the bacon and egg o'muffin and the sausage and egg o'muffin. Great value, delicious food and excellent coffee, definitely recommend.

Had a very pleasant sandwich, the bread was good. A proper good bread is hard to find nowerdays, top marks for that.
Nice variety of fillings to choose from and some alternatives if you're not in a sandwich mood.
Will be definitely stopping in again.

I love this place... The food is always great, as is the customer service! I popped in for breakfast yesterday and it was so good, definitely recommend. They have a great selection of food/drinks (as well as produce from other local businesses), collection is brilliant, there is indoor and outdoor seating, a loo and parking. Have a visit you're in the area :)

The women working at fidget & bob are extremely kind, accommodating and top of their game. They were kind enough to adjust my avocado on toast order due to a toothache. Not just did they come up with what food would be best suited for my situation, but they even thought of adjustments that I didn't even think of like cutting off the crust of the bread and not toasting it. I definitely can recommend this cafe!!

Fidget and Bob is amazing.
While I'm normally there to collect lunch - their sandwiches, wraps, and toasties are top tier -their breakfast and coffee selection is also incredible, and will satisfy the biggest foodies (something which the staff and owners clearly are). Everything is always fresh, the portions are generous, and even the simplest sandwich is somehow out of this world (HIGHLY recommend The Matty). Worth noting that all their food is made fresh to order, and people have clocked how amazing this place is - so don't consider this a Subway equivalent, and either pre-order on their website, or ensure you're able to enjoy a leisurely meal (and enjoy a cold drink).
All that out of the way - Fidget and Bob is one of those places that manages to be more than just a lovely spot to eat. They're also a core Reading independent and community hub - they source products, bakes (including preordered donuts during the weekend) and drinks from local independent vendors, stock locally made trinkets, and get involved in community charity drives. I also understand that they have the occasional takeover (with other Reading foodies), and evening events.
All of this would be nothing without the lovely people who run this place, and even at their busiest, the staff and owners are professional, patient, and just all-around stars.
5/5 stars. Fidget and Bob is one of Reading's foodie jewels and one of my favourite spots. Don't miss a chance to visit!
