Angela Reed in Uttlesford

I booked an afternoon tea for a friends birthday - but upon turning up found that there had been a technical glitch and the afternoon tea wasn’t available. Rather than just apologise for this IT error and fob us off - the manager went totally out of his way to make amends. We were treated like royalty. We opted for a lunch instead and the food was delicious. The service is outstanding and if you are lucky enough to sit outside you have a view of the heart of Saffron Walden while you eat. Truly recommend a visit here if you are in saffron Walden

Really disappointing lunch - rather overpriced for what we got - 5? prawns in very greasy sauce and poached eggs underdone atop a very few spear of spindly asparagus on underwhelming sliced bread... Cakes overpriced for the size and in one case dry and flavourless. Not sure how to put this but person serving a bit off - like he was doing us a favour and I sort of got told to sit down a couple of times. Strange. I expect he was having a bad day. Always used to head here when in SW and enjoy what we had. We feel it's gone downhill so we likely won't bother going again.

We had afternoon tea at Reeds as a treat and it was divine. The food was delicious. Beautifully made and very flavorful. The staff were delightful and very efficient. Highly recommended.

We called in to the cafe last week at about 1115 on a weekday. We have visited before and always enjoyed the coffee and cakes. On this occasion most of the tables were empty with reserved signs on them. We sat at the end of a large table where 4 people were already sitting.Eventually a man appeared and told us our table was reserved.We pointed out that this was the only table we could find that did not display a reserved sign.He said that the reserved sign was at the other end of the table where the diners were already sitting. As there were no other free tables we left and went elsewhere. It was obvious that the cafe was understaffed and they had roped off the tables to restrict the numbers. The man could have explained this and told us there would be a delay but was just so rude we left.If the cafe continues with this attitude they will not have to rope off half the premises to keep people away because no one will bother to return including us!

Always visit this shop has great selection of items. Today visited the cafe which is very nice to sit in. Took 25 minutes for them to get around to taking our order and then ages for coffee which was nice and hot to come. Cheese scones served warm also good. They seemed to be serving the regulars first though and leaving us just waiting!

We have visited this shop several times and never come away empty handed! It is very original and has lots of rooms. Even if you did not purchase anything during your visit, you would come away with lots of creative ideas. Items are arranged by style, colour or designer. It is relatively expensive, but the prices match the quality of the products. They do a lovely selection of greetings card, next to the till as you walk in. It is a well-established family business and the history is displayed on a wall. The people on the till have always been friendly, chatty and welcoming. We have not visited the café yet, because when we visit the town, we always eat in a restaurant.

Smashed avocado and poached egg on sour dough toast, egg perfectly cooked, but what was in the avocado? Overpowering and unrecognisable could taste lime juice but not the avocado when I asked what the other taste was I was told “no I don’t know what’s in it” couldn’t eat it, shame as lovely place to have lunch.

My wife and I have now included this venue as a regular place to have a drink and light bite to eat, the staff/team are very friendly, the surroundings are restful and mirror the town. The food is top notch a great place to dine do try it.

Visited yesterday, had cappuccino and cream scones, which were tasty. My main concern is that sitting on the balcony there are 3 tables spaced very close together. They are definitely not one metre apart and with no one wearing masks I was not particularly happy about sitting there. Although the tea was fine, although we got someone else's bill, I would not be happy to return in the current climate.

I noticed in the local paper that Angela Reed were doing takeaway afternoon teas and as my mum was 80 this year and I had to cancel an afternoon tea out I thought this would be just the job. She, and I, were absolutely over the moon with it. The chef had even made a special Happy 80th Birthday chocolate plaque, it was all amazing and such top quality. So easy to order on line, lovely follow up call and easy to collect from the cafe. You do need to be hungry as there is plenty of it! Would definitely recommend and will have no hesitation in having another, thank you so much Angela Reed.

We have been visiting the cafe for many years and never been disappointed. The service is fabulous, even in these current more trying times. Today I had a delicious salad with grapefruit and pomegranate, topped with bacon. Cakes are always good as is the coffee. Well worth a visit.

Our favourite Cafe Coucou was overflowing on a busy Saturday, and- having tried it twice without success- we had to look elsewhere for a light lunch. Anything after Cafe Coucou was always going to be a very poor second, but we hadn’t anticipated it being a very poor fifth or sixth... Such a pity as we like this shop, and have bought one or two nice pieces here on our visits to Saffron Walden. They’d run out of avocados by 1.30 so we had to settle for poached eggs on toast. This turned out to be two rather small and vinegary eggs on a single piece of toast. A meagre light lunch for £6.95 a go. No better than an average caff turns out for half the price. We left feeling hungry. And ripped off. Can’t recommend. And won’t be returning.

My wife and I go to Angela Reed's regularly and have always enjoyed the food, ambiance, friedliness and value. We will continue to go back.

This was our first visit to Saffron Walden. We didn’t expect to find a cafe in this excellent shop. We had lunch which was excellent too. 1 of us had eggnog benedict and 2 of uss had the Black Pudding and sausage croquettes (picture attached). A little on the expensive side but probably normal price for the town. Well worth a visit for coffee and cakes or a light lunch.

My coffee and walnut cake I had here was simply heavenly. Its a twee cafe in a lovely furniture shop. The young staff were very eager to please. My flat white coffee was a touch on the bitter side, but overall a decent place.

My second visit here for lunch with my sister .....The menu is outstanding with really tasty and healthy/interesting dishes (especially the vegetarian dishes which are amazing !)The beetroot risotto is fab and so is the celeriac purée with roasted veg.The service is good and the staff very friendly and helpful. This will definitely be my new favourite go-to haunt for coffee or lunches in Saffron Walden !!

Brunch here today with my daughter. I have over many years requested well cooked bacon in cafes and only once ever received what I requested. Today not only was the bacon well cooked but the poached eggs were just right - set at the top and runny in the middle - toast also good as was the latte.

Food is excellent just what you need when shopping. The cafe is within Angela Reeds shop and is full of character of the shop.

My dear friend invited me to join her for a special birthday treat of a wonderful afternoon tea. We even enjoyed some bubbly with this fabulous feast. Our waitress was so informative and we ate vegetarian which was absolutely delicious. Thoroughly recommend this venue and will surely go back.

Great to have this exceptional cafe on our doorstep. When so many high streets are full of you’re usual large corporate companies. Great to see the effort and enthusiasm put in by these guys !! Never had a bad breakfast, lunch, or coffee and cake here. Standards always set high and always reached !! Gluten-free diets are more than catered for as are vegetarian. If like me your always thinking of your waistline, line then don’t worry as the courgette cake (delicious) surely counts as one of your 5 a day !! Looking forward to my next visit.

Imaginative menu, friendly and helpful staff and most importantly tasty food! Gluten free beetroot risotto with goats cheese and figs was delicious. View from balcony pretty too.

Went in to have a quick coffee and cake. Very pleasant area, with good service. Choice of cakes and light meals

I was invited by my friend to join her for a special afternoon tea. Wow it was fabulous. The very lovely and friendly waitress explained what every scrumptious 'work of art' ' was for us to savour. It was far too much for us to eat even over the course of the afternoon and we were given paper boxes to take the rest of our goodies home in. I cannot rate this wonderful venue enough.

Lovely food, freshly prepared. Good menu options. Fabulous looking cakes. Friendly service. Everything I look for in a good cafe option.

We arrived not knowing the town at all, we asked a lady in the market where to have a cup of coffee and lucky for us recommended Angela Reed

I arrived with 4 children with me. We were quickly seated at a round table and the children were given a box of Lego to amuse them. They had a selection of juice boxes as well as other soft drinks. Soya milk was available for my tea and they were able to supply me with a gluten and dairy free cake which was very nice. The kids enjoyed their chocolate brownies too.

We had a really lovely afternoon tea today, everything was perfect. The food was delicious and well presented but the best thing was the service. Incredibly friendly when booking over the phone and even nicer in person, we felt very welcome and well looked after. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this cafe, I’ll definitely be returning.

Food is excellent and staff very welcoming. Lovely balcony fot warmer days! Usually busy but usually have a table fairly quickly.

Been here many times for light bite, usually very nice. This time it was horrendous. I had the sausage roll with cumin. It was hard and very very dry it looked as if it had freezer burn. My friend had th quiche ,it was supposed to have had Stilton in it but als it had disappeared. If I closed my eyes I would have thought it was cremated brûlée or vanilla egg custard.

First time here for breakfast and it’s lovely, we managed to get one of the few seats on the balcony outside (4 tables). Lovey fresh noodle bowl. We will be back.

Myself and my wife popped in yesterday to try the place for the first time and i must say i wont rush back.

We are regular visitors to the town and I've even worked in the area before. We were recommended to go here for lunch and weready not disappointed. Bit awkward following signage in the shop but follow the smell of food and you'll find a clean and welcoming environment. Good service, drinks and food made it a "must go to" place for our next visit. Thoroughly recommend it.

We were in the lovely town of Saffron Walden and had bought some pieces of antique furniture at Reeds. The weather was atrocious and we asked the lady there to recommend a cafe or restaurant. Unsurprisingly she recommended Angela Reed across the road. It was superb. Fitly you enter through a very stylish contemporary furniture and accessories store. Upstairs is a light, bright and welcoming cafe restaurant with delicious food and smiling service. We will be back for more!

We have just had another lovely visit to Angela Reed. Today's visit was for their scrumptious afternoon tea. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. The food as ever was lovely, freshly prepared and of course tasted yummy. Whether breakfast lunch or tea it is always the place to visit.

The setting of the cafe is ideal, light and airy. Lots of natural light and the food is very nice with some interesting options.

Beautiful shop with lots of great things to look and buy ,upstairs is the bright restaurant serving delicious fresh homemade healthy food ,great selection,daily specials

Wonderful food, very good service, lovely atmosphere! The cafe is in a cool spot too, right above a very quaint furniture shop. Menu had a good selection, and the baked items were terrific!

Friendly coffee/snack stop at the top of this furniture shop. Tiny balcony with rooftops view for al fresco on a fine day. Problem: you may be tempted to refurnish or embellish your home on the way up or down!

We’ve been here several times and it is usually reasonably tasty and reasonably good value for money. While the menu is quite limited the food is generally quite healthy but interesting. If you’re in Saffron Walden and are looking for a light-ish lunch this may be worth a visit.

We stopped here for coffee on a recent trip to Saffron Walden. A lovely find with lots of tasty treats to tempt you. Very friendly welcome and great coffee.

You walk through a lovely shop ,selling amazing items from great quality furniture,cards ,wedding gifts and much more ,upstairs no lift ...a lovely cafe great quality food all locally sourced ingredients and lots homemade,staff very pleasant and nice place to meet friends

We meet up with friends here, find it an ideal lunch venue, clean,light and happy atmosphere. Very good menu, I am not a quiche lover, but always enjoy quiche here. Excellent service, sensible prices, friendly staff. Great place

After seeing the reviews I expected a lot from this café, but disappointed !! it's very noisy and quite compact. The service was very slow and the food is over priced for what it is. I had a very average sandwich (get more filling for your money from Waitrose) with a tiny salad £6.50, felt very ripped off !! my Wife had soup which again average but £5.95. All together with a tea and coffee cost £17.35. As for the best café in Walden !! no way ! better value for the money elsewhere.

Staff made an all out effort to cater to my vegan diets, I was very impressed with the food, the service and the friendly staff. I was served the nicest hummus and mushrooms on toast that I've ever had. My non-vegan friends were just as impressed with their food.

How refreshing to find a place that really and honestly wants to and cares about providing food that is ultra well made, delicious, fresh, well priced, well presented and done with pride, humility and care. The date slice was the best and only one I've ever tasted that really was 120% perfect. I own a restaurant and cafe and I cannot recommend this place enough. Hats off to you.

This place is a really good venue for cups of tea or coffee, or lunch, or all of them. Clean, well lit, no musak, very friendly and obliging staff, and a very good lunch. Doesn't sound much, tortilla and salad, but the tortilla was really excellent and the salad was fresh and uncomplicated. So easy to get the detail wrong, but at Angela's they seem to get it all right.

Stopped in for a light lunch. This establishment is obviously popular with the locals as it was rather busy. Tucked away off the street we stumbled across it.

This is a great cafe - be it for a quick, coffee, and snack or a proper meal. The staff are friendly and efficient. The food is fresh and great quality. Excellent coffee. Great bacon sandwiches. Tasty salads. Amazing cakes.

Este es un buen lugar para visitar. La comida es todo hecho en el lugar, y hay a menudo a probar cosas nuevas. Mi último favorito es tostadas francesas con tocino crujiente, jarabe de arce y escalfados ruibarbo. El servicio es siempre amable y simpático. Revistas y periódicos para leer si estás en tu propio. El mejor lugar de Saffron Walden.

Mi hija tenía clases de matemáticas en la ciudad y antes de completar su formación, para construir su concentración! (ella) me convenció que tenía que entrar a Angela Reed. Cada semana las tartas eran excepcionales y el servicio fue estupendo y durante varios meses y que puede justificar una libra buena crítica. He comido sandwiches y comida caliente y de nuevo de buena calidad y en un ambiente relajado y agradable. Quieres un cambio de masa producidos comida insulsa y café, pop a Angela Reed y disfrutar.

Gran café: moderno, luminoso, ventilado y deliciosa comida fresca importante estupendo y el personal amable. Ah, y el mejor café de la ciudad. Nosotros somos visitantes habituales, principalmente porque no podemos resistir a la selección de deliciosos pasteles! Sin duda uno de visita. Puede ser ocupado, pero mesas vienen gratis bastante rápido así quedarse.

Nos gusta este lugar - y, como han dicho otros, siempre nos ha iluminado, ventilado y limpio. Las Tartas y Pasteles han sido delicioso y el hecho de que el menú varían en este sentido es de agradecer. La única cosa que ha decepcionado es artículos brunch que han sido fritos en lo que tiende a probar como grasa vieja y, por lo tanto, no es que sea agradable. Es una pena, y ha significado que nos hemos apartado de más sustancial y pegados a la deliciosa pastas.

El personal siempre es limpio y agradable, buena comida y una buena selección de bebidas, un agradable paseo a través de la tienda principal y admirar las mercancías en venta.

If you are in Saffron Walden then you must visit Angela Reed - first to shop and then to eat or have coffee. A great place to meet friends for morning coffee, a light lunch or afternoon tea. A great venue and excellent service. Everything is very fresh and made on the premises - the cakes are absolutely exquisite.Celebration cakes can be ordered for special occasions and I can highly recommend this exemplary service.

Nice staff, nice coffee, nice experience the staff where nice people who helped me out with my revision :) coffee was a 10/10 and my name is Aimee cooke

Lovely modern restaurant,food delicious and always cooked fresh good choice of quality food ,set in a lovely shop selling furniture,cards ,rugs a bit of everything

Pleasant decor and the staff are always very pleasant. Coffee reasonably priced but a little lacking in flavour. The cakes on display are always very tempting!

Really like this shop and the restaurant compliments it so well. Small veranda for outside dining too. Had a fabulous bacon sandwich that was very reasonable priced. Really friendly staff too.

Fantastic breakfast as usual!Superb service from these guys, a jewel in the crown of Saffron Walden.

Best light lunch in town. Smashed avocado on sourdough, homemade soups and cakes to die for. The volume can get a little overwhelming when it's full, but when it's quiet (rarely), there's little better place to have a toasted teacake or choose from the amazing range of cakes. Lovely little balcony with tables on in the summer.

Browsing in the store for the first time, took the stairs and discovered an inviting looking cafe with a good menu choice. Went on to enjoy good pot of tea and delicious cake served by a pleasant waitress. Thank you.

Wonderful cafe that catered for an event for us in Saffron Walden. Could not rate them high enough, wonderful food, excellent service and attention to detail . Lovely smiley staff who were very attentive. Would not be able to fault anything, thank you Christy and your team.

Bacon and scrambled egg on toast. Absolutely delicious. Two rashers of perfect back bacon with buttery eggs on thick cut toast. Great buzzing atmosphere and service with a smile. Thank you.

My friend and I met here for brunch today following a recommendation and will definitely be going back again. I can highly recommend the delicious coffee, food and service. The restaurant has a lovely, relaxed feel to it and we could have sat there all day! We tore ourselves away to wander around the shop which is a treasure trove in itself.

Visited for afternoon tea and was amazed at what I had been missing out on. The cake selection was limited as they had been very busy but there was a choice. I chose the carrot cake which was delicious. Small balcony which is nice in hot weather but tables inside also. Lovely bright, airy atmosphere and spotlessly clean. I would not hesitate to recommend.

The scones were warm from the oven, the cheese variety very cheesy and the fruit scone had plenty of fruit.Coffee was good and the service friendly and efficient. You wend your way through the shop and the cafe is at the back, upstairs. The balcony terrace has a great view of the interesting old roofs of Saffron Walden.

Very pleasant urroundings for midmorning breakfast .Small balcony with just three tables enables fresco eating with town centre rooftop view.Good quality ,well presented and pleasantly served . Recommended.

Ate lunch with friends on a visit to town. My wife and I had their smoked salmon and avocado on rye and their soup of the day. It was all wonderful. We were able to get a table for six and had plenty of room. Food came fairly quickly, was fresh, and well presented. Hope to eat here again.

Smart upper floor restaurant above the shop serving excellent afternoon teas. Treated my daughter to afternoon tea she had a Cappuccino with a slice of Almond and lemon cake which she found a delight. I had a Latte with a raisin scone butter and jam.fine pastry and good coffee. Great Ambience about the place with friendly service. Although I have been to Saffron Walden before this was my first visit to this restaurant but will not be my last.

We have just had the most lovely homemade quiche and salad accompanied with perfect mouth watering homemade bread. Lovely surroundings and efficient and friendly staff really well worth a visit infact not to be missed as the cakes were to die for! !

I have used this cafe several times and the food is always good. Cakes are lovely, home made and service is always with a smile. Bacon or sausage sandwiches are especially yummy.

I've now been to the Angela Reed cafe for lunch a number of times and the food is excellent, particularly the selection of cakes available which are always delicious. A perfect choice if you're looking for a chilled out atmosphere and some good grub. I think the only downside is that I don't live closer!

Although I haven't yet had lunch there, we have been to this cafe a couple of times for cake and it's been brilliant. The selection of cake is always varied, beautifully presented (and great tasting! the rose and pistachio meringues are my favourite) and very reasonably priced considering the extraordinary amount of work that must go into making it from scratch every day. It's clearly very popular as it's always been busy when we've dropped in, which to my mind is only testament to how great the food is! Definitely worth a visit and a superb addition to an already charming shop.

Visited on 29 December 2015. The restaurant was very busy with seating at a premium. Only a small number of tables/chairs. There is not a wide choice in food and whilst I was there most people seemed to be having only drinks and cake. Nice location.

Visiting Saffron Walden for the first time. Found this excellent cafe at the top of The Angela Reed shop. Homemade fair very good. Clean and the staff welcoming and helpful. I would not hesitate to pay a return visit when next in the town.

We've just returned from Saffron Walden where we visited Angela Reed shop and cafe. We were taken in by the simple and tasteful decor, a specious place so rare in our current climate. Once we laid our eyes on the selection of delightfully looking cakes we couldn't resist temptation. The Christmas pumpkin cheesecake and beautiful, moist almond and lemon tart were both guilty pleasures well worth indulging. All with delicious teas.Lovely gentleman with old fashion charm - couldn't ask for more ;).

At the back of the Angela Reed interior shop there is a staircase which you leads you to a lovely little coffee shop. We just had coffees which were good and we nearly gave in to the wonderful looking cakes or scones that they had on show. Staff friendly and said hello and goodbye.

A great place to meet for coffee and lunch. All homemade food and absolutely delicious. Great for gluten free food as they always have a selection of food. Light and airy atmosphere and staff absolutely lovely. Recommend a visit.

This cafe which is on the top floor of the Angela Reed Interiors shop is a delight. The sandwiches and cake are to die for and the staff are always very friendly and homely. The only criticism I might have is that it is getting too popular !!! meaning that it is difficult to get a table. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Saffron Walden.

The Angela Reed cafe seems to aim for perfection cake wise and each time we go there is gets better. A real treat. I wish it opened a bit earlier for Saturday breakfast and on Sunday but being tied to the shop I can see that being tricky.

Our meal was really tasty and very nicely presented. The soup with a savoury scone was delicious. Nice environment. Only criticism is that staff seemed slow to clear some of the tables but restaurant was very busy at the time. I will definitely go again.

I had lunch in the café for the first time yesterday and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. The cafe is upstairs in a light and airy space which is pleasantly decorated. All the food is made on site. I had a butternut squash and goats cheese quiche with salad and it is not an underestimation to say it is the best quiche I've tasted in a very long time. Service was prompt and friendly. The extensive range of cakes, scones & pastries looked delicious. I will definitely be back to try the carrot cake and custard tart!

An absolutely lovely cafe. Friendly staff and an amazing array of cakes. The lunches are really tasty and good value.

stopped here the other week whilst looking round Angela Reed furniture shop below. The restaurant is situated on the top floor, quite bright, open aspect. You can sit outside as well, was very busy when we went. Friendly staff freshly prepared food and drinks. Very convenient if you are looking around their shop as well.

This is a new addition to the Angela Reid shop.Very cleverly done. Good cooking, simple menu - but nothing more is required.Attentive staff. Excellent cake. I have not tried much of the savoury - yet. I am a local so that is to come.Love meeting my friends for coffee. Light and airy, great atmosphere.

A nice environment, and the staff are pleasant and attentive. The last time there I had a bacon sandwich, which was a dissapointment, just one slice of bacon, and expensive. Previous visits have been very satisfactory.

We followed our noses and ears through the furniture store to find stairs leading to very attractive first floor cafe. We enjoyed excellent morning coffees and a bacon sandwich [great bread, delicious bacon] and cake seated on tiny balcony in the sun. Our destinations, St. Mary's Church and the Fry Gallery are close by.

My hubby and I paid a visit a few months back when the cafe had only been open a few weeks and we were very impressed. Despite it being a bit later than "lunchtime" there were plenty of savoury options - I had a delicious goats' cheese tart and Mr Carnivore enjoyed a pie featuring chorizo, which was right up his street! Since then I have been admiring from afar via the cafe's Facebook page the amazing cakes they keep producing....we really must get a return visit in our calendars!

We found the cafe hidden away at the back of the store and think we have found a hidden gem. Food was good, great they it is locally sourced. Coffee was spot on too !! Strawberry and Rhubarb Posh Pop was a treat for my daughter and 'lush' apparently ;) we will return - thank you to the staff for friendly efficient service :)

My friend and I had lunch today at Angela Reed. Lovely and clean. Efficient and friendly staff. Interesting menu. Reasonably priced. Food cooked 'from scratch'. Absolutely delicious too. Good sized portions. What a treat.Will definitely return when we visit Saffron Walden.

The cafe is in such a pleasant setting my partner and I go at least once a week if we can, even though we only live round the corner! Yes it does have its busy times like any good cafe but if you want lovely food then go here! The elderflower and coconut cake is to die for and my favourite by a mile! The staff are lovely and friendly and we would recommend you come and try it! You can always browse the lovely shop as well either on your way in or out! Well worth a visit!!

Very good venue with a lovely relaxed atmosphere. A simple menu but with plenty of choice and executed well. The choice of cakes and the display is very good.On this occasion I had a lovely bacon sandwich , not difficult , but very easy to get wrong from my experiences !Bread was excellent.Love the staff aprons.My only critisism would be that I would prefer a table ordering service as oppose to queueing at the till to order and pay.

First time and thought what a pleasant, calm place for a casual lunch. Nice uncomplicated, healthy menu.Excellent coffee.Damn good cake!Staff were attentive and polite.Will definitely be back when next in SW.

I'll start by saying that I very much admire the furniture side of the shop and have always been impressed by their offering and value for money. For this reason, I was keen to visit the cafe and for it to be similarly impressive; unfortunately, I was disappointed.The venue is attractive, light and airy and as a means of drawing customers through their merchandise displays is a very clever device. The staff were friendly although became slightly muddled with what should have been a relatively straightforward order. The range of foods offered is narrow in keeping with the catering facilities available, with which I have no problem providing that those few items are tasty, well presented and good value for money. Sadly, my hot smoked salmon salad was a modest portion size with very little salmon present and lacking the wow factor in terms of seasoning and visual impact; it certainly didn't justify the price tag. Cathy's courgette and feta salad was similarly okay but nothing to recommend a return visit.There are other well regarded venues in and just out of town that demonstrate how to offer great food that looks stunning at fair prices; I would recommend that they pick up a few tips because I would genuinely like to see the cafe achieve the standards consistently maintained in the rest of the business.

This cafe is on the top floor of a furniture store very close to the market square. Lots of nice things to see on the way to the cafe. A lovely setting with a nice terraced view over myriad rooftops. Lovely coffee, great cakes, fantastic bacon sandwich, and very friendly staff

I have been here on three occasions. Food is always excellent. It has a lovely interior and a nice deck space outside with views over the Saffron Walden rooftops.

This is great new addition to a thriving cafe culture in Saffron Walden. Angela Reed (a furniture shop) has added a cafe on its top floor, with outside area. The cafe is very smart and modern. It was full when we visited and we were lucky to get table. The home roast of coffee was very nice, served in white Villeroy and Boch cups and saucers. We enjoyed savoury and sweet treats. The chocolate scones were an unusual success. Our only suggestion is that the young women serving looked a bit hassled, perhaps not used to a busy cafe yet, and didn't have much time for pleasantries.
