Went for afternoon tea, during booking I had requested vegan and they confirmed this with us when we arrived. Our table was ready for us and we were given menus to select our drinks from their very impressive selection. It wasn't long until everything arrived and a very enthusiastic staff member was talking us through everything we were about to eat. Everything was absolutely delicious, you don't expect to have that quantity of food and have it be that good. The atmosphere was incredible, we took our time and didn't feel rushed, the staff were very friendly and passionate, really nothing to fault, highly recommended!Vegetarian options: Afternoon tea

Really disappointed after our visit for brunch, I've been a few times before a and really enjoyed it but today will be the last.All the tables were dirty and full of used cups, it was cold, service was so slow which was surprising for the amount of people working although they were mostly kids.Food was ok although we were waiting a good 45 minutes, we had to return 1st meal as the poached eggs were hard, the young lad said the 2nd meal would only be a minute but it turned up 15 minutes after poached eggs on this weren't very soft but too hungry to return, it was then another 20 minutes for the 1st lot of food to come back.Coffee was good though.We also ordered some bubble tea to take away but only got half of the order and had to point this out.The place needs a really good clean as there was mould on the windows, I know it can't be helped but you would at least clean it.

Absolutely love my regular visits to this coffee haven! The staff is incredibly warm and welcoming, turning every visit into a delightful experience. The service is top-notch, making me feel right at home. The coffee is consistently fantastic, and the food offerings are a delightful accompaniment. It's my go-to place for a perfect blend of great atmosphere, friendly faces, and delicious treats. Highly recommend to all coffee enthusiasts!

Visited on a busy Sunday and had an excellent bowl of Sweet Potato and Butternut Squash soup, as well as an excellent latte. There is always a good atmosphere and it is a relaxing place to visit.

Visited on christmas eve as was in the area to see family. The coffee was ok but ruined by very uninterested staff constantly and loudly messing about behind the counter. Maybe they should spend some more time cleaning because the shop was less grotto and more grotty. unlikely to

Had the Breakfast Bagel today.....delicious. Don't eat egg so they happily substituted producing a scrummy bagel dripping with melted cheese. Nicely complemented with a side salad that was drizzled with a tasty dressing. Of course, had my usual Americano to finish the experience. Staff always pleasant and helpful. This is the go to coffee shop in Oundle

Quick visit for brunch. Coffee, chai latte, bacon bagel and poached eggs on muffins. Quick friendly, polite service. Tasty, well presented plates.

I visit Brew Babu whenever I am visiting my Grandchildren whom attend Oundle School. I do not normally write reviews but having a read a negative review , I thought it worth calibrating feedback with my experience. It honestly in my opinion has not changed in terms of atmosphere, quality of food and service since the current owner took over (i think 6/7years ago). I cant remember her name but She is very smiley, glamourous with big hair! On my visits I switch between the Specials Board and afternoon tea. On Saturday I had the Vietnamese Chicken off the Special Board , it was cooked beautifully and not too spicy, I loved it. Every one loved what they ordered and the kids really do love her bubble teas. It is the summer since I had the afternoon tea but I honestly think it has to be one of the best in the country, certainly better value than Bettys in Harrogate and better quality and quantity than the posh garden centre near Wellingborough. Keep the faith, Brew Babu is a truly great independent coffee shop/tea room. Rita

We visited for the festive afternoon tea, and it was fabulous! Totally enjoyed it all, especially the pork pies! We will definitely be returning

Things at brewbabu are not what they once were. the scones and cake were stale and the coffee tasted awful with poorly foamed milk. After a long wait for the food to arrive it was flavourless and looked rushed. The cleanliness left a lot to be desired and even the cutlery was dirty! Management clearly don?t care anymore. I could even hear staff loudly complaining that the owner was late again! I won?t be back.

Our visit to Brew Babu was exceptional from start to finish. The café exudes a charming and inviting atmosphere, making it a lovely spot for lunch with my family on a cold December day. I tried the croque monsieur, which was simply divine, so filling and good portion size. The kids loved the mango bubble tea and chocolate milkshake, and the variety of homemade cakes was impressive - each more tempting than the last! The staff were friendly, especially the owner and added to the overall positive experience with their excellent service. It's rare to find a place that combines great food, lovely ambience, and outstanding service so well. Will return and can?t recommend enough!

Unfortunately things have gone downhill here. The level of organization and cleanliness is scary. We had raw scones, stale old pastry and less than delicious food options. I wanted to love Brew Babu but it needs a hard reset before I?d eat there again.

Love this quickly little cafe. It's lunch time specials are worth hunting out as they are interesting and delicious. Coffee are fab and they have a licence!!! Decor is industrial and very on trend. Will definitely be back.

I do not tend to contribute reviews but having a tea served with an hourglass is intensely satisfying. They live up to the 'brew' in their name.

Good selection of loose leaf teas. Also do nice coffee. Food is fresh and hot. Dog friendly too.
