We had high tea before heading to Highclare Castle. This gorgeous little tea house is a delightful surprise of eclectic beauty, gorgeous staff and lovely food. The decor \\u0026 crockery was a feast for the eyes. I can highly recommend this gorgeous little place. 10/10.

Great little spot for a stop off. The cakes were delicious with lots of choice and excellent coffee. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming would highly recommend.

Popped in for coffee and cake with 6 other cyclists. Despite being empty we were told to sit outside or at the small low table opposite the toilets. Very brusque (borderline unpleasant) manner from the blonde staff member. When we left 45 minutes later all other tables were still empty. I had the same exact same experience last month when cycling alone. Completely empty but only allowed to sit on the sofa. With all the cycle friendly cafes around, the tea cosy has been dropped from my list of coffee stop venues.

A really unfriendly welcome that left us all wondering if our money wasn?t good enough and our custom unappreciated. From the minute we arrived we were told they were fully booked and we?d have to site outside. We arrive approx 10.45am and told the first booking was 11. Then the staff offered us a table but just kept moaning about our legs being in the walkway even though we?d move a table back to the wall. Just moan moan moan!! A quick coffee and cake and wanted to get out of there still leaving the place empty inside and not one table being used. Just completely unaccommodating or welcoming. I could understand why if it was busy but honestly not one other customer inside!! This cycling club will not be coming back to where our custom is not appreciated

Random spot at back of a garage. Didn?t stay to try the food which may have been good. Cakes certainly looked yum.Wet floor due to toilet leaking and didn?t have some food items. Wasnt worth hanging around. Mmm not ideal.

£5 is quite expensive for a slice of cake but never mind, i dont understand how a cake can be made the day before and be so dry? so disappointed. dry cake twice now. don't recommend

A lovely place but not for the coffee connoisseur. My flat white was a 12oz cup filled to the top with hot untexturised milk. When challenged I was told that?s how we make it. I assume this is down to poor training and a lack of understanding of coffee so not necessarily the fault of the staff. I?m sure the tea is amazing but wont be back for a coffee.

Although this cafe has apparently been here for a while, I only spotted it a couple of weeks ago. Happy to find an independent coffee shop within walking distance, my partner and I popped in on Saturday 7th October for brunch. We were greeted with a brusque "Have you got a booking, because we're really busy and have lots of bookings coming in". I was quite surprised as there was only 1 other couple in sight. We were told that, if we ate quickly, we could be seated but had to leave in an hour. Other than the attitude, leaving in an hour suited us as it was just brunch, and fair enough, we hadn't booked. Another couple walked in while we were looking at the menu and were met with the same brusqueness. They also wanted brunch but elected to just have coffee because they didn't want to have to rush their meal. Our sandwiches and coffee was great. Afterwards, we thought we would share a slice of cake. The employee trying to take my order for a glass of water and a slice of Coffee & Walnut cake was interrupted by the same blonde lady who had greeted us because she said we had run out of time. I replied that I thought we still had 10 - 15 minutes but to leave the order for the slice of cake. We finished off our coffee and then took a walk around the fabulous gift shop next door. On return to our car, I peeped in. Our table was still empty as were most of the other tables still. I couldn't help wondering where all the bookings were.

I would NOT Recommend this place for Afternoon Tea it was so expensive they were nearly 1hr late and basically got nothing for the money paid. I booked for 5 people you got 3 tiny triangle sandwiches each of which you could just pop in your mouth so so small one scone each,one packet of crisps to share then one cake that was all you got I paid £25 deposit then £96 which my daughters paid as it was a birthday treat it's the worse Afternoon Tea I have ever had and I have had a lot

We've been here a few times before and this time we came for the Disney Princess themed afternoon tea. The cakes and drinks were amazing as usual, and the two princesses (Elsa and Sofia the First) were so good with the children - especially their singing!Highly recommended for hot drinks and cake, though I've yet to try the savoury options (don't worry I will definitely be back at some point to do just this).Parking: There are usually plenty of parking spaces, it was just that on the themed afternoon tea that spaces were somewhat limited, but then I think there are other parking spots very nearby (less than a minutes walk).

Nice place to stop for cake. Good portion of cake. Staff friendly. Tea was OK... don't like the tea pots with the little sieve in the top, doesn't give a good brew.Some parking at rear.
