Aldwinckles Coffee House in Harborough

lovely little hidden gem, we always get our coffee from here. the staff are really friendly and helpful. an asset to church street

We chose Aldwinckles for our small wedding reception. I saw photos of the courtyard online and the venue is so “instagrammable” that I had to have our party there. Moragh was incredible. She is super responsive and made sure everything was well planned out and organised. Nothing was too much bother! There was extra attention to detail decorations which we really appreciated. We had private hire of the coffee house with afternoon tea and a variety of drinks. It was very reasonably priced. Our guests commented how lovely the afternoon tea was. The sandwiches were well received and cakes homemade.The drinks flowed and were quickly topped up. Everything was perfect and I recommend Aldwinckles as a intimate wedding and party venue.

So glad we found this hidden gem, the Jacket potato was delicious. My only criticism is you had run out of Jacket potatoes and it was only 12.30, so any later that would of been it. Would be nice to know if this is a one off or not as it would be ashame.

Lovely welcoming staff, great coffee and the sourdough, balsamic, walnut and goats cheese toast is lush! 💯👌

Aldwinckles Coffee House is a little gem in Market Harborough that you do not want to miss! It is nestled in a little covered courtyard, with an indoor space too. The little courtyard is my favourite spot: during the winter it is truly magical, and in summer you feel transported. The iced coffee is perfect, and the vegan and gluten free options for the cakes are truly wonderful, the hardest part is which one to choose!! Loveliest and most welcoming staff, a place to return to again and again.

Lovely little coffee shop, excellent for lunch and savoury/sweet baked goods. Hot, cold and alcoholic beverages available

Lovely coffee house with friendly staff. Tucked away down a side road, lovely location away from the hustle and bustle. Would recommend the toasted fruit loaf for a light snack, and you can't go wrong with a pot of tea (with optional sugar lumps).

The food was fairly decent, however, the coffee was incredibly disappointing. The taste was noticeably underwhelming and lacked any complexity, to add insult to injury, it was made using a touch-button machine. Despite this, it was charged at a barista-level price of £5, which felt like an absolute rip-off. Overall, it was a thoroughly underwhelming experience and I do not plan on returning. For a truly good cup of coffee in the area, I would highly recommend The Garage Bakery, where you can enjoy a handcrafted coffee with incredible flavour at the same price point.

My favourite cafe in Market Harborough and even though I've tried a couple of others, I always come back here. Good food, lovely service and really like sitting in the courtyard.

Awesome cafe, and friendly service. A lovely find on our brief visit from Australia.

The best coffee shop in market Harborough, I have come here many times and consistently have great service and even better food + coffee! Have introduced many more happy customers :)

A lovely little find. We popped in here for lunch and really enjoyed our visit. It's very small but quaint and cosy. Delicious food and a good selection. The coffee was great too.

First visit to Aldwinkles today and will certainly be back. We only had the breakfast ciabatta roll but was tasty and fresh with good quality bacon and sausage and nice touch of a small glass jar of sauce. Nicest coffee we’ve had in a while and was piping hot! Lovely, friendly, fast service and attentive staff, clean and tidy and a lovely welcome (compared to another newly opened coffee shop in Harborough where the staff ignored us and miserable!) a credit to the owners!

I am sorry to give Aldwinkles only two stars, but our experience was pretty disappointing. Imagining the Mexican Bean Quesadilla turned out to be baked beans with a few kidney beans and one sweetcorn kernel, but primarily a small quantity of baked beans and similarly quantity of cheese inside a toasted wrap. The salad was actually a garnish of three small leaves and two halves of cherry tomato. There were half a dozen crips. My husband's goats cheese roll was better, but economies are clearly being made and £8 for baked beans inside a wrap is unacceptable....unless it's made from proper ingredients and less scant.

Lovely cafe to enjoy a great lunchtime meal the food was very good small areas to sit in very different interior nice atmosphere, great service and good prices well worth a visit

We have eaten here on multiple times and the food is always great. The salad is always fresh which quite often is neglected in cafe's, the staff are friendly and helpful, always ready for a chat and the time waiting is so short. I would recomend Aldwinckles to anyone, whether new to Market Harborough or if they have lived here for a while. A true hidden gem.

Lovely cafe hidden away. We enjoyed a lovely salad and the service was quick and friendly. Thanks ladies!!

Food here is wonderful. Staff are really friendly. Definitely worth a visit .

Friendly staff and EXCELLENT cheese scones 👍🏼

Great coffee, friendly staff. Well worth a visit 👍😋

Truly appalling breakfast , which I am almost sure had not been freshly cooked, despite a denial when asked. It felt and tasted as if it had been microwaved and I was assured that the eggs were fresh...yes they probably were at one point but I am sure that neither the sausage or eggs had been cooked from scratch while we were there. It was like a bad airport cafe meal! A great pity because we were returning customers who had enjoyed a terrific breakfast a couple of weeks ago.And a nice setting too, but won't be back, sadly.

We stopped off for lunch in this intriguing little eaterie. We were delighted with the food and the service was excellent. Highly recommended. 🙂🙂

Wonderful food. It's like being in a Hogwarts tuck shop.

Refreshing alternative to the corporate chains. 😎

Friendly Staff and Lovely Gluten free food on offer. I had a Cheese Ham Toasted Sandwich and Soya Cappuccino.

Have come here twice now and both times has been brilliant the food and the coffee are great and stuff are very nice and accommodating. Highly reccomend!

Great little coffee shop. Breakfast ciabatta was superb and could set anyone up for the day. Good coffee too. Service friendly and prompt.

Spent a very chilled time here this morning, enjoying delicious cake and coffee- Well worth a visit guys, lots of choice, good quality , in very pretty surroundings- Will definitely be returning- oh! and staff! Sooo helpful and friendly 😀👍

Lovely quaint little coffee and lunch stop. Well worth a visit.

Lovely little coffee place - we sat outside with our dog in the courtyard under a heater so was very cozy. Would recommend the nutty sleepy squirrel coffee 😋

Wonderful character cafe with courtyard. Gorgeous lunch, friendly service, ask for their loyalty card, will definitely return.

Nice setting with sheltered external courtyard. Good food and a surprising amount of seating. Also has baby changing facilities

Lovely cafe with nice food and a wider selection of drinks than usual

Excellent locally sourced coffee. 5 stars

Lovely place great service baileys hot chocolate was amazing

Having Waited 30 minutes for two coffers in the outside seating area,it seemed present to go inside and remind a staff member of our order,two coffers were brought to our table albeit a take away order with someone else names on them,duty questioned the order to be met with a very ill mannered waitress,Coffee eventually arrived,barely warm, not busy at the time, w,ont be returning.

Gorgeous mince pie and solid cappuccino. Nice service

Worth seeking out this wonderful little gem. Good selection of drinks & food

Very nice. Prompt service on take aways..

What a charming little place, very friendly staff, I had the Christmas turkey and stuffing warm sourdough roll with cranberry sauce , it came with mini pigs in blankets served with crisps, absolutely delicious 😋 lovely cup of proper tea. Would highly recommend.

A hidden gem of Market Harborough. Great coffee and the cakes are to die for!

We were meeting friends as a mid-way point in Market Harborough. What a find! We had mulled wine and coffees which were lovely- just what we needed after a long drive. A fab start to the Festive season. Many Thanks

Th spread was really nice, a kot of sweet things and the small filled buns were tasty. The venue was quite cold given the location and cold weather

An average to good coffee house selling sandwiches and cakes

Lovely coffee and Cake. Dog friendly courtyard. Would recommend.

Lovely place lovely homemade cakes too

Lovely coffee house great food and cakes

Friendly and helpful staff, working hard to serve their customers. It seemed full when we went, but they found us a table. The food was tasty and well-presented, and the coffee was really nice.

Very quaint place,staff friendly,nice food.Would recommend 👍

Lovely place, friendly staff and delicious food

Very nice light lunch, quick service.

Lovely food and coffee ☕ very safe and clean thank you 👍

Tasty coffee in a lovely hidden cafe

Great quiet location off the main street - hidden gem. Friendly service and great cakes made by the owner (I had frangipane or bakewell tart to me!).

Cute, little place with an extra surprise upstairs sit in area. Friendly, and lovely food. We went for breakfast and will go again.

Charming little coffee house. With a great selection of drinks and cakes :) Looks like they do other food too as there was a board that had soup of the day and nachos on it. A small amount of seating outside and some inside on the ground floor. There were some stairs heading up that I assume went to more seating but we didn't check it out so not sure. Would go again.

Lovely cakes and coffee, friendly staff.

Lovely atmosphere, very friendly staff and good service.

Amazing staff amazing service !!!!

If you want a very lovely cup of tea, with a quality tea blend, then this is the place for you. Scrumptious cakes and very good customer service. Also covid safe. Highly recommend.

So glad I found this little gem! Great variety on the menu, reasonably priced, and doing a great job of operating in a safe manner during these difficult times

If you are in Market Harborough and are queuing at one of the other larger coffee shops. Please remember that this little gem around the corner. Great choices, lovely staff. Serving delicious drinks, cakes dont look half bad either. Well worth a visit.

Absolutely brillant service in a covid secure environment. Lovely pumpkin latte and homemade soup. Great to be able to get out and visit this little place for food. Thanks for providing this.

Quiet and relaxing tearoom with good menu.

Excellent coffee and very friendly staff

Love this little coffee shop and the sausage, onion & sweet chilli ciabatta. Staff are lovely and friendly too.

Lovely off the main street coffee house. Owner knows her coffe and the coffee cake is splendid, best my wife has ever tasted.

The staff are very welcoming and diligent. The food is both delicious and well presented and the latte that I had was just as nice. We will definitely visit here again!

I have been before and was impressed. Helpful staff and the Earl Grey delightful. On a slightly down side I felt that the brown rolls were to dense and thick. Other than that, I will return.

Lovely atmosphere, and had a lovely cup of tea. :)

Tiny place only a few tables but quaint nice food I had scrambled eggs on sourdough bread and a milk shske

Good service lovely coffee and cake 👍

Glad you have had good reviews but I beg to differ. I had breakfast there with my family. Toast was dry, as was the scrambled eggs and mushrooms. I could hardly swallow it. When eating out, I expect to taste better than I can cook. But, I can cook at home a much more tasty breakfast than what I was served. I will not be eating there again. Very disappointing.

Cute little coffee house that has everything even loose tea which I think is the only place that has this

Brilliant food, nice atmosphere and brilliant people.

Nice local coffee shop. Very busy. Good all day brunch menu but a little limited in other areas.

Tucked away in a quiet corner Aldwinkles proved to be a little gem. Coffee was first class and food came quickly and was very tasty. Worth finding.

What a find! A heated courtyard area with its pretty Christmas seating area ( which was great with us having our two dogs with us) Partner had a great coffee and I enjoyed a super hot chocolate Along with a couple of beautiful homemade mince pies with a lovely surprise of a cream cheese topping with the mincemeat inside the flakey pastry. Looking forward to going back for maybe a ciabatta or homemade soup

A charming little café, with an outside-esque atrium area and little cosy areas to sit.

Cosy place with great food and table service

Cosy and pleasant. Nice coffee and scones.

Tucked away in a little corner. Nice stop for lunch.

Nice sandwiches. Lovely atmosphere

Lovely quiet quaint little place.

Excellent cafe, excellent staff. Great coffee and chill out atmosphere.

Perfect quaint spot for lunch with novel varieties of delicious coffee and hot chocolate. Nice selection of toasted paninis, quiche, ploughmans. Would definitely come here again.

Really nice friendly staff coffee nice, building is so cute

Cosy back street coffee shop with attentive service and well made simple lunches. Great choice of coffees from around the world.

Wonderful place for a light lunch

Aldwinckles is a lovely little tea room in a courtyard of Church St. It serves lovely food at great price. Well worth a visit!🍰☕

Excellent food, service and toilets. I think the ' Ladies' is V imp . Theirs is excellent, the outside seats are just perfect.

Excellent standard of quality in the tea range, absolutely enjoyed my experience of refined taste the tea had.

It is very well laid and welcoming with a great selection of coffees plus a varied menu that has some fantastic specials. The staff are friendly, helpful and pleased to see everyone whether strangers or regulars

A friendly cafe nestling on Church St. Coffee excellent (especially in cafetieres). No meals but a good selection of snacks and cakes. Recently changed by the addition of a canopy over the courtyard (good) but also horrible plastic panels on the gates to Aldwinckles yard (definitely bad). Overall a good, cheap place in which to spend an hour's break from shopping.
