Bampton Coffee House in West Oxfordshire

Freshly cooked hot and good quality. Great service too. Friendly chat local knowledge and happy customers and locals fantastic

Lovely friendly little cafè, good choice of breakfast & lunch options. Jacket potatoes, sandwiches, toasties etc… Tasty cakes too. Well worth a visit.

Friend and I had coffee and cake. First time we had been here. The coffee was very very nice and the cake was the freshest cake we have ever had at a cafe.

I have visited this cafe many times over the last few years and it continues to deliver great service and quality My congratulations to all the staff including Tara who marshalls her resources with skill and generosity and personable contact which ensures people return again

We called in at Lunch time and had sandwiches and tea for two. Lovely fresh sandwiches. Lovely friendly staff. Actually I had looked it up on line and although it said closed on Sunday’s it was open.

Recently went in for lunch. My partner had a toasted tea cake and I have a mushroom omelette. My omelette was very nice and tasty. I would say portion size was a bit small hence the drop of a star. But nice place to go and good clean toilet. Would go in again if in the area.

Once again the staff rose to the occasion and delivered good food and good service even when busy and what more can you ask for coffee to high standrd

Lovely place and easy to find on market square. Great selection of food to suit everyone's tastes and food intolerances/preferences at very decent prices.

Went here for first time this weekend as just moved to area. The jacket potatoes were hard and lacked any presentation. The baguettes were dry , hardly no filling and just thrown together ! The prices for what they are serving is shocking . Also saw the server raming food in his mouth while serving , no handwashing or anything , avoid!

Took my wonderful partner for an evening meal at this warm and friendly restaurant. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced with friendly staff in a relaxed atmosphere.

Great pizza, quick service, convenient bench opposite in lovely village of Bampton (& clean pubic toilets - need 20p). Staff friendly and clean restaurant. Lots of choice on pizza menu and good value pizza, buy 2 small ones with free garlic/cheese bread.

Visited this coffee house on a very quiet Saturday in February. The female server/cashier was rude and unfriendly. The coffee was mediocre and there was no choice for vegans. If i could give this a zero star i would.

We thoroughly enjoyed our morning coffee and pastry. Very friendly and helpful service. Reasonable prices.

Virtually no coffee in the coffee - I would say on a strength scale of 1-5 it was a 1 at best - barely coloured the tepid milk. No particular customer service to speak of - no pleasantries - could not even be bothered to look up from her phone when we said thankyou and goodbye. Toilet - don't go there - pretty awful - filthy floor - no soap - a hand dryer not fit for purpose. Such a shame - Bampton as a village have been put on the map - there were coach loads there today - Downton Abbey followers - mostly American - and this was the best they were offered - pretty awful sadly.

Stopped here for cream tea, which was not to be found on the menu (bad sign), and instead had a cup of coffee and some onion rings. The coffee was burnt and the onion rings were undercooked and had no flavor- didn’t even know that was possible. A total waist of time and money so please take my advice and find somewhere else much better!

Just stopped in here for a coffee (and toilet break) but changed our mind and had some lunch instead. Shamefully I had an ice cold coke due to a desperate need for something cold and energy boosting 🙈 ... but the prawn and avocado salad was delicious! The prawns are cooked and served hot/warm straight of the pain. The whole thing was delicious. The portion size was good, but i enjoyed it so much i wish there was more. I am gluten/wheat intolerant so normally hate the limited options offered (jacket potato and salads) but this was a salad worth getting. No food regret! Mum had a cheeseburger which she said was alright (thats Aussie for no complaints) she gobbled half before I took the photo. It is a nice little cafe. It is clean, and there was space for our buggy, my daughter slept in it next to me. I heard a local commenting on how busy they were yesterday. It seems popular with the locals. The price was reasonable for a salad, burger, tea and bottled drink under £17. I read one persons comments about them being unfriendly. I don’t think this is the case, it might have been a language barrier and he didn’t understand what she was on about? They were helpful to us, and attentive to everyone around us. We’d come back; i would try another salad!

Stopped here for a coffee and cake whilst visiting this little village where a lot of Downton Abbey was filmed. My husband popped to the car to get my jacket whilst I stood in the doorway of the café and waited. The man behind the counter did not bother to acknowledge me so I said hello and told him that we would be coming in in a minute or two. He was still disinterested. It was rather embarrassing standing there without being chatted to so I decided to wait outside! When my husband arrived we both chose a different cake which were labelled as home-made, and a cappuccino each. I noticed there were quite a few ants crawling around on the counter so we purposely chose cakes that had a glass dome covering them as many others were left uncovered. The table we sat down at was sticky with ring marks from the previous customer. The cake and coffee arrived and still the man did not engage with us. As we were the only two people inside the café it was rather quiet and therefore embarrassing when we were trying to have a private conversation.My slice of coffee and walnut cake was disappointingly small but worse still, when I started eating it I found it was very stale and dry. I left 3/4 of it as quite frankly it was inedible. My husband said his cake tasted like a cheap supermarket one and he was convinced it was definitely not home-made!Nobody came to ask how our food and drinks were. When we eventually went to pay I mentioned to the man that my cake was dry and stale. There was no apology or look of surprise, in fact he didn’t say a word, he just carried on taking our payment. At the last second he said he had taken some money off the bill but still no apology was forthcoming. It was one of those occasions where you really wished you’d walked past and found somewhere more friendly and inviting that served fresh food!

We stopped here for coffee on the way home through Bampton. There’s a large choice of food (all the standard things you’d expect to find in a place like this) so we ordered a couple of simple sandwiches to go with our coffee. We ordered a sandwich which wasn’t strictly on the menu but they were nice enough to make it anyway. The interior is clean and smart with standard tables and chairs. There’s a small outside area to the front of the cafe.

used for breakfast on the first day of our stay in Bampton. Good menu choice and tasty breakfast and beverages

After a very busy week & late nights, my husband & I decided to spoil ourselves with breakfast outBampton being so close to us, Bampton Coffee Shop seemed obvious & definitely did not let us down!! Lovely welcome, Quick service & Well Cooked .. We'll be back very soon

The food and serving was excellent,staff was Amazing the women at the front was so friendly and made amazing coffee and tea,the food was wonderful when I got it I was speechless it comes in large portions which is a bonus,I will definitely recommend and come again.alao if your interested in downtown Abby it was filmed down there so I would go have a look and when going back home I would stop at Bampton coffee house for an amazing breakfast or lunch!

On arriving at this beautiful village on a very hot Monday we were in desperate need of a cup of tea and light lunch. This was the only coffee shop open & looked inviting with people sat outside. We ordered tea and panini’s & we were really looking forward to them. After a long wait (& we were the only people inside) 3 mugs of tea were slapped on the table and to my horror still had the tea bags in the mugs. There was nothing to put the tea bags on or get them out with which meant fingers had to be used or the tea would have been stewed by the time we got teaspoons. Which was not only unhygienic but very hot! The paninis then came, again just slapped on a plate with no garnish or anything...no salad just 2 anaemic lumps of what looked like squashed baguettes with the thinnest piece of ham and tiniest amount of cheese ...They were luke warm with the cheese not even slightly melted....Awful ! No one came to ask us if we needed anything or if everything was ok....At £19.70 for this all I can say is we will not be visiting this establishment again. Very disappointed.

This small cafe was the only option for us as we were short of time after vacating our holiday house and heading home from a glorious bank holiday weekend. We were not disappointed. The lady serving was friendly and accommodating. We had a variety of breakfasts and were served promptly and efficiently. The place was scrupulously clean, coffee was great. Ingredients were not of the highest standard but were tasty, well cooked and nicely presented. Good value and definitely worth a visit if you are looking for a breakfast/light lunch.

Great cafe which I use as much as I can. Always get my sandwiches and breakfast here at harvest time and the Mrs uses it nearly everyday for her break. Nice young lad on till/service. Happy to swap things about if you rather a different breakfast item. Quick service and fair pricing.

The people running this cafe need to understand that there is no eye appeal on walking in. Cakes looked unappetising & boring. Coffee was poor quality.

Whilst visiting Bampton we called into this coffee shop for lunch. Very friendly service and the coffee was delicious. We only had toasted sandwiches but they too were delicious.

We had a great lunch here. The jacket potato with chili was outstanding. Service was great and reasonably priced.

First time visiting. Had a lovely breakfast. £6.50 for the breakfast and £1.60 for a cup of tea. Staff seemed friendly and the cafe was nice and clean. Will be visiting again. Recommend.

Great for a breakfast before our fishing match on a wednesday nice and friendly and a great choice on the menu.

Paseábamos por Bampton, riverside walk, Visité la iglesia y Abadía siguió la pista en torno a este bonito sitio perfecto en la aldea, y después de comprar un delicioso filete de tarta de riñón de la carnicería local, celebrados por beber un café con leche delicioso en este café muy acogedor. Servicio con una sonrisa y una de las mejores lattes que hemos tenido. No comer como comer un buen desayuno y fue demasiado pronto para el almuerzo, pero los pasteles y la comida parecía y olía bien

We have been here for breakfast for the first time. The restaurant looks really nice, fantastic breakfast we had and service with a smile. Food arrived warm and in timely manner. The gentleman who was serving us was pleasant and hospitable. Would definitely recommend

Stopped for a quick latte whilst in the area. Reasonable prices and a good brew to boot. I didn't have the food but from what I saw looked very appetising. I would use again.

Mañana sábado 6 de mayo en Bampton paramos en nuestro camino a través de este precioso pueblo poco tener un poco de sonido alrededor y un refrigerio rápido. Necesitábamos parar en la co-op al lado para algunas disposiciones.

Bampton es una pequeña aldea que no ha salido "comercial", a pesar de su conexión con Downton Abbey. Nos alojamos en una cama y desayuno. El café era nuestro lugar de "Ir a".

Bampton coffee House set in the Market Square offers a refreshing change from the large chains found in most cities with its homely, rural feel where customers are on first name terms with the staff. The decor is muted and has a library cum front room look.The food is tasty and served at your table with hot or cold drinks. I am fussy about my hot chocolate and this tasted perfect. Food is freshly made to order and the take away service is popular with regulars who pop in and order at the bar from a wide but sensible menu. If you want something more substantial fish and chips is advertised on the billboard outside but I was not stopping long enough to try it.

Only cafe in town so Hobson's choice.However, menu options pretty satisfying, providing an 'all-day breakfast' is always a safe bet, except there didn't seem to be a vegetarian option offered. I instead opted for egg x 2, chips and beans and a mug of tea - £7.60. Not the cheapest but not outrageous.Reasonable quantity, although I'd have liked more and nicely presented. Ditto the mug of tea, not quite full to the brim. Ketchup, I had to ask for and then was taken away for another table. I get the feeling that that they're perhaps making savings by easing off on quantities all round (?).The place was clean, quiet and pleasant. The staff were friendly although not overly forward. No asking if everything is ok, or would I like ketchup etc.I don't not-recommend. All in all, OK.

Popped in for some lunch, they serve all day breakfast but as we are vegetarian we thought we couldn't have any but we asked and they made a special effort to make a veggie breakfast. I had a tuna panini which was massive, very good service friendly. Would recommend!

Throughly enjoyed our lunch Very relaxing atmosphere not made to feel rushed Nothing was to much trouble for them

Just popped in for a coffee on a rainy day. The coffee was very good the pasty was a bit dry and the staff was very pleasant. They had outside seating which would have made for good people watching if it hadn't been raining that day.

Good coffee in a pleasant atmosphere - nothing special about the building. Pleasant and prompt service.

Funny little place this. really good coffee not so good service. Outside table & chairs looking old & tired. This is the only coffee house in Bampton but it could be better with just a little effort.

I have driven past this elegant little coffee shop many times and finally found the time to go in ... I was shocked to find a cheap greasy spoon menu on the wall , filthy floors and lots of workman eating their cooked English breakfast , service was prompt and polite however the cakes u see the counter were still in their delivery boxes taped up and the rest wrapped in what looked like weeks old cling film , I opt for a well done bacon and egg sandwich which arrived stringy /fatty and not well done however I think the language barrier was an issue . All in all of you want a greasy spoon at coffee shop prices visit but if not avoid

Visited today after doing the 'Downton Abbey' tour of Bampton. Very accommodating, walked in just after 3 (they stop serving food at 3) but checked with kitchen and happy to do us some lunch. Lovely food all round including full English breakfast, chicken baguette and gamon and chips. Lots of variety of food too. Would recommend for anyone wanting a bite to eat or coffee when visiting Bampton :)

Visited village where Downton Abbey scenes were shot. Had hot coffee and jacket potatoes. Very good value. Then looked around village. What a delapidated uncared for village. Gardens and frontage were a mess so we were very disapointed. A very few had lovely gardens but I felt ashamed to be British amongst the many foreign tourists. Got the impression that the locals were not proud to be known as Downton village. Local council need to get tough with propery owners.

A very well appointed cafe/restaurant with a fairly broad menu set at reasonable prices. The latte cups are a bit small but moderately priced. I like it here. Good toilet facilities.

I was 'home alone' last weekend and so was able to get lots of things done and enjoy a bit of 'out and about'. So en route to Witney to do some shopping (three hours' free parking? - you couldn't beat it with a big stick!), I stopped by in Bampton for some brunch.A warm welcome and an outside table awaited; I ordered a seriously large fried breakfast and a big cup of black coffee with hot milk. They arrived quickly and smilingly, but most important of all they were HOT. Oh my goodness, I don't know how many lukewarm beverages I've endured in recent months (all so-called barista-babe chains please take note, your coffee is totally tepid). By contrast, this was a complete pleasure. Even coffee which has once been hot, but is starting too cool, tastes good. I really enjoyed it! Delicious also was the Olympic breakfast; whilst the ingredients are perhaps not of the highest (blah blah locally sourced etc etc) quality, they were fresh, properly cooked, nicely served, HOT and in front of me. Which was the whole point. Not being a baked beans lover, I was able to substitute these for mushrooms - with no fuss.The place was busy with locals and some Dutch visitors, the latter enjoying some Downton scenery, and all seemed happy. There are complimentary magazines and tourist leaflets to browse. I popped to the loo which was clean and well-appointed.This is a great little cafe with warm, chatty, prompt service - and I am still happy to rate it. Prices are reasonable and you can pay by card. There are some cleanliness issues (tables and windowsills outside could do with a thorough cleaning) but I accept being next to a busy road is difficult to manage. However, cleanliness standards inside seem fine.

It was an April chilly day that our tour took us to Bampton, the site of many Downton Abbey Series Shoots. We needed a little sustenance and stopped in at the Bampton Coffee House. The owner could not have been nicer. It was our first land stop after departing our cruise ship in Southampton on our overland way to London. Sandwiches, Baguettes, Baps & Paninis all with 11 different Fillings, Toasted Sandwiches, All-Day Breakfasts, Omelettes all made to order and Hot Drinks were just what we needed. The meals were mighty tasty and all in the 2.80-5.00 Pound range. Light lunches & burgers were also available for lunch. Service was fast by the owner & it allowed us to resume our tour without holding any of the group's progress up.

While the village of Bampton is lovely and interesting to walk around, a stop for coffee at the Bampton Coffee House was a disappointment. The coffee was less than average and the options for morning tea treats were non-existent! I had read previous good reviews, maybe you need to visit in the summer when there are more crowds to justify the outlay of delicious goodies! Then we were accused of not paying as we left.

Stopped here for lunch with a friend. Nice little restaurant with a good menu selection. I had the full English and it was very tasty and plentiful. The service was friendly, too. Prices are really good too.

Nothing startling but a nice quiet place for a simple coffee or hot chocolate and nice and clean too. The owners were really pleasant.

Called in for a drink and a cake but didn't really like the look of the few cakes that were on offer. Pleasant environment and friendly staff. Tea was ok (teabag in a mug) and a glass provided with the diet coke but not very quaint/attractive/relaxing. Probably won't be returning.

A small coffee shop serving basic food as already noted. We had good service; prices very reasonable for England. The owner's son directed us to the local church filming site for Downton Abbey. After we did our tourist thing, we went back for tea before heading back to London. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Bampton.

Fairly basic food but seemed good value for money from the menu. Not what you would expect from a village coffee place really. However, I was disappointed by the customer service. Only one member of staff was friendly to us and others ignored us or were outright rude. In the end we were given our food at no charge because of various issues with the meal but staff argued about this in front of us and made us feel very unwelcome. There was a power outage which was beyond their control but was handled very poorly. We ended up eating by the light of our phones! I appreciate staff were under pressure with busyness and technical problems but I couldn't believe how rude they were to us as we left. Zero marks for the experience!

Somebody brought us a take away latte whilst we were watching the filming of Downton. Very nice indeed :)

We were like many other fans of Downton Abbey taking a look at the pretty village of Bampton in Oxfordshire.And as usual when we are on the move at these venues fancy a bite to eat,or at minimum a pot of tea for two.So when we had completed our wander around the numerous filming location's in the village we came across what we thought was going to be a local oasis.On walking in we were put off eating any food by the smell of stale cooking fat,so decided on sitting alfresco and were served with tea in mugs,this came with a tea bag floating in the hot water,and obviously you may take it out when it is to your liking.We normally prefer to have tea for two in a pot,but that may just be the what we are used to on our travels,and not everyone's way of having their beverage.?Summing up,there was a fair amount of choice on the menu,but as I mentioned the smell of the interior was not very appealing.Perhaps most people visiting Bampton would prefer a local tea room instead of what looks a bit like a 1970's coffee bar.!Sorry to say lads we were a bit disappointed,and could not recommend the coffee house.

We stopped here for lunch while passing through Bampton. We weren't expecting much but were pleasantly surprised. I had the best fish and chips of my UK trip here (including ordering it at much more expensive restaurants). If you're looking for a quick/good lunch, I would recommend stopping here.

If you are a Downton Abbey fan and plan to walk around the film locations in Bampton then this is a plain but friendly café to have a bite to eat. It seemed to have a lot of variety on the menu and we were served quickly. It did feel a little 'tired' and their was a faint smell of fat but I'd come back again.

I met my husband here before 'walking the course' at a nearby competition, to have a quick lunch. The menu is wide in offering with hot meals and snacks available; we both had Coronation chicken in baguette / toasted sandwich and tea. Our meals came with salad and we were served with hot tea in mugs. The sandwiches were fresh and delicious. The tea was the best I have had for ages - what a pleasant surprise. Service was fast and friendly and we were able to be 'in an out' in about 35 minutes - all for £10.50.A great little cafe - I was impressed. The ambience is busy and 'local' in feel. Whilst the decor could do with updating, it is well worth dropping in. Cards are accepted.
