Anita's Place in Milton Keynes

I've been here two or three times. Each time there's been a nice atmosphere, a place to sit and work while having a hot drink or snack. The staff are friendly and they offer what good customer service used to look like. Hot drinks are lovely. They open early which is perfect for early risers. They do close early however the reasons why are commendable as they do so to support the community. Bear in mind they do have music playing in the background so if you’re working, noise-cancelling headphones for meetings, calls etc would be advised.

Visited this hidden gem while our Grandson was having swimming lessons. What a find, being inside a large gym it was extremely unlikely that I’d ever stumble across it. I’m glad I know it’s here now. The cheesecake was to die for as was the Victoria sponge that my wife had. All homemade on the premises by the very friendly guy who looked after us. I suppose if you really thought it necessary you could go and work it all off in the gym. I preferred to sit comfortably in the lovely spacious cafe though and let it all settle gently. I’m definitely going to come back and try the breakfast!

We tried Tea and Toast in Wolverton for breakfast today. Pictured below is the Spanish omelette and their Turkish breakfast. The portions were really super sized. The place seems to be very popular with locals and the owner is an amazing chap who was going around making sure everyone had what they needed. He even offered us complimentary Turkish tea at the end of our meal. Everything came in at a very reasonable price and we even had to take away quite a bit as couldn’t finish it all.

This is a great place to pop in for a coffee and/or meet friends or colleagues for lunch. There is a good selection of drinks and brunch or lunch options and a great selection of cakes if you want to be a bit naughty! There is loads of space, ample free parking, free wi fi, and the lady serving on the couple of occasions I have visited so far is absolutely lovely she really makes you feel welcome and nothing is too much trouble. Prices very reasonable as well - what's not to like? Only a couple of minutes from city centre, I thoroughly recommend you give this lovely cafe a try.

The bookshop has long gone, sadly, but happiness and fun lingers... The Little Bookshop has reopened! Stop by for a poetry group or freshen up your computer skills; bring the kids to a dedicated kiddies library; meet friends for coffee and cake or even grab dinner from the soon-to-be opened Community Fridge.
