Bardia’s in Stratford-on-Avon

Really nice coffee and baked goods, pleasant surroundings and lovely staff. It does what it does very well. We're really glad that we visited.

We were looking for a coffee stop and dropped on this little gem. Lovely coffee and tea, plus we had focaccia, which were excellent.

We just stopped for coffee and it was lovely, they are dog friendly. I would just say, its quite cramped as it's a small place, I would imagine with a wheelchair or a pushchair it wouldn't be accessible unfortunately. Service was fast and the staff were friendly.

Coffee and hot chocolate took twenty minutes to arrive but were good when they did. Horrified to watch the staff pet a customers dog for an extended period and then return to serving food and drinks without washing their hands though. The place had appeared clean but if the staff aren't following basic hygiene practices then I'd worry about the safety of the food.

No question, hands down, absolutely the very best Flat White and sweet treat in town!!! ♥️

Stopped for late afternoon coffee and was told by male staff that drinks would be served in paper cups as the final dishwasher of the day had gone on! Really!! Happy to serve me and charge full price but unable to provide proper service or crockery!! Note to management - maybe suggest to your staff that they wash the final cups of the day!! Never heard anything like it before!

Thoroughly recommend a visit to Bardia’s we have been to both Shipston and Stratford Branches and both are amazing!! Great food, even better coffee and lovely service!! We will be back!

Friendly staff, great atmosphere and excellent treats for our dog.

Have you had their pistachio cookies though 🍪

We ordered Americano coffee, macchiato, and pistachio cookies, all of which were excellent. The café is a small local café with a beautiful atmosphere and the staff are very courteous. I highly recommend it. One of the most beautiful cafes in the village.

Always my favourite place to go for coffee in Stratford. Great coffee and friendly staff

Awesome breakfast. Bacon egg and sourdough

Really nice food and iced coffee. Ordered the pastrami bagel and chicken avocado sandwich. All tasted fresh. Sells decaf and diary free alternative milks. Would have been 5 star if two sandwiches and two drinks didn't cost £27.

An amazing coffee shop, fantastic people and the very best coffee ever. Just go!

Best coffee shop in Stratford my miles!!! We came down from Durham especially for the coffee and food served here because the food service and atmosphere is outstanding!!!

Best coffee in Stratford! Love the staff,love the building, love the food. It's my go to!

Best coffee in town! Lovely vibe. So much better than Pret or other chains

What an amazing place! The atmosphere is wonderful every time we come in - all the staff are so welcoming and friendly, sitting in is such a warm and inviting experience, especially in the new venue which has such a modern feel whilst celebrating the old period features. Absolutely love visiting…plus the cakes and sandwiches are delicious and dogs are always welcome. Best coffee spot in town.

Gorgeous little find with an excellent variety of homemade pastries, sandwiches and other treats in a 15th century building full of character close to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.

saw a handful of amazing looking local cafes trip advisor; it was a toss up between which one we would end up visiting. decided on this one as it was close to the riverfront & butterfly farm, where'd we just been. i knew dogs were welcomed but was overjoyed to find they are also allowed inside as the weather was a bit misley. we've had trouble this trip finding places that we want to eat at that would also accept dogs (that aren't just beer gardens or pubs!) as we hate leaving him behind so that's a plus. one of the staff members also gave him a biscuit which i'm sure he appreciated :-) the building is stunning both inside and out; plenty more space upstairs for those who want a bit of peace and quiet. could've happily people watched for hours. the tables are so beautiful, alongside all the mugs, spoons, plates etc. gives it all a magical touch (it's the little things that count.) i got an iced soya matcha latte (they have 3 vegan milk options for those interested) which was delicious, one of the best i've had. both my parents (who insisted they weren't hungry) went for one of the bagel sandwiches and my mum's been singing it's praises ever since. dad even said the coffee was "good and not too bitter" (he rarely admits when he likes something.) friendly staff, quick service, deliciously made and unique food bites. apologies for being the annoying person that takes photos of their food and hope we weren't too annoying x

I love this place! It’s a home away from home. The food is always exciting, fresh and tasty, the staff are friendly and make you feel welcome, the new venue is cozy and steeped in history. And they serve the best damn coffee in Stratford!

Lovely coffee, wonderful people! Perfect place to catch the morning sun.

Coffee was great, seating options are very limited and a busy area

A real 5 star venue. Lovely people, great coffee and pastries. Family run, a real gem. Next time we're in Stratford upon Avon we will be there again. Support them, they're making a better coffee than the big boys, in my opinion.

Gorgeous little gem in the heart of historic Stratford upon Avon. Super friendly staff and delicious coffee and cakes

I was looking for somewhere to have a drink because everything was closing quite early. We sat outside but it turned out that they were also closing even though they were supposed to close later. The drinks were good but nothing special. I was a bit disappointed.

Had regular latte and the service was rapid and the coffee taste was excellent. Far better than a Costa!

Given that toasted sandwiches were £9.50 each was very unimpressed with the food and service. Nice enough coffee but had to wait 25 minutes for the two toasties. The cafe wasn’t particularly busy (would understand if there had been lots of other orders). When they eventually arrived they were also cold. Whole experience left me feeling like I’d wasted my money to be honest

Day out in Stratford and really lucky find! Great coffee, snacks etc and the couple who own it are really lovely! 😄

Overall can not complain, we arrived and mentioned it was for our anniversary we was in Stratford upon Avon and they offered us amazing service

Great place for a coffee & a cake. The coffees are great & hot. The cakes delicious. Staff very pleasant. Small seating area inside, more tables outside. Most definitely worth trying. We shall be returning.

A must try place for good food and drinks .

The best coffee in Stratford to my knowledge

Visited on Saturday whilst at the Victorian Christmas Market in Stratford Upon Avon. The inside is tiny but still fits five tables for 2 people at each. Gorgeous inside. Had a latte and mocha and a rocky road and a honeycomb crunch. Ohhhhhh wow delicious!!!! It’s not cheap but quality is worth paying for and it was all gorgeous. I’d rather support a small business than a chain too. Will definitely return next time I’m there. Really really lovely.

The best sandwiches and cakes I've ever had. Cannot recommend it enough.

Stumbled upon this cozy little coffee shop this afternoon. The black forest hot chocolate was delicious! The cinnamon roll & brownie were some of the best i’ve had, & trust me i’ve tried many :) Highly recommend🫶🏻

Cosy little Café, with very friendly service and extremely tasty hot chocolate! The Frosted Brownie and Cinnamon Bun were delicious too. Can't go wrong 👌

Staff uninterested. Expensive . Awful coffee, actually no coffee shot in my dirty chai. Just steamed milk with a powder that wasn’t even mixed properly. Will never return. Should have complained but was having a bad day and did not have the energy.

One of the best toasted sandwiches I’ve ever had wow

A lovely venue with food that is truly delicious and very well presented - a great place to people watch! Prices are a little costly BUT the food is simply the best. The vegan delight is melt in the mouth delicious-ness xxxx

Delicious coffee. Excellent service. I highly recommend a visit.

Little gem on the corner. Would prefer real cups over cardboard for drinking in

Fantastic coffee and wonderful cakes

Really lovely place. Beautiful, natural looking decor and the staff were friendly. Only down side was both our cappuccinos were very milky even though we asked for one to be dry. Shame as you could tell the coffee itself tasted very nice, was just masked by the amount of milk.

This is a lovely, small and characteristic café in Stratford! The milkshakes are FANTASTIC and there is also good coffee and a variety of pastries. There is also external seating.

After a terrible coffee at another shop ( one we couldn’t drink) we popped in for a takeaway coffee. The drinks were made to our liking and were perfect. The couple running the coffee shop were so friendly and engaging. We had a really good chat. Can honestly say if we were locals this would be a daily stop. Thank you so much.

Not one to do reviews but I must say this place was absolutely amazing. Best sandwiches I have ever had and the service was absolutely impeccable.

Great home made cake and coffee. Friendly service. Indoor tables slightly cosy, but good outside area available

If you want a top, top cup of coffee this is the place. A small family run coffee shop. Delightful staff. Very friendly. Right up there with the best cup of coffee I’ve ever had. Definitely recommend.

My husband chose this coffee shop as the seating was in lovlely sunshine. I asked how many shots you get in each size as we like fairly strong coffee, and was told 2 in all sizes. I was surprised as that means the large would be very milky. While it was a smooth finish even the small had very little coffe taste. We would not return ....

Popped in on a Saturday morning for a croissant and coffee. Croissants were really nice and warmed in an oven rather than microwaved like most places. Coffee was particularly good and staff were nice.

Coffee was served in takeaway cups, I asked if it could be transferred to proper mugs and was told they only use disposable cups. Even if they are recyclable it is still worse than using proper cups. The coffee was very bitter so I asked for some extra milk which was given grudgingly and a very small amount so I let my wife have it and I drunk about half of mine and left the rest. We won't be going back

Very friendly staff and great coffee. They made us feel very welcome. There is outside seating, but on the Is cold day, there’s inside seating as well.

A great place to sit and watch the world go buy, good cup of coffee served in proper mugs, v chatty staff , will revisit

Alway prepares nice coffee, cakes and open croissant sandwiches; nice sitting out when the sun shines, watch the passers-by.

Would not like to be sat there if it was raining and the wind was blowing but on a summers day it was rather nice. Very good coffee and tea and the cakes were rather nice. Overall good value for the money.

As two wheelchair users, we often struggle to find coffee shops that are accessible, or willing to help us get to a table. We were greeted by a gentleman who couldn’t do enough to help us, he was friendly and didn’t at all make us...

This cafe is just off the High St on the way to Bell Court. It is tiny snd is essentially a takeaway with tables. The coffee is fantastic and the cakes very tempting.

Produits exquis, petit plus pour le brownie sans gluten !! Bon service, lieu paisible. Smoothie délicieux

The lady who served me was incredibly rude and sharp, horrible.

Great place, great coffee and macarons .

Good food and good customer service

The Vegan Delight was beautiful - a well-put-together and delicious sandwich. The coffee is also very good. Can't recommend highly enough!

Great little place, lovely coffee , and nice cakes . Seating outside friendly staff would recommend trying

Nice coffee, friendly staff, outside only so a bit wet and windy but good, big umbrella on table kept me dry. Can drink in now but confined space. One of the best cafes for good coffee in town.

This was the first coffee pit stop we made whilst visiting Stratford Upon Avon last year. I loved the way it looked so had to try. There is only outside seating and service was a little slow. When it’s windy it’s not too good as...

I came here for a coffee break. Limited indoor and outdoor seating but very nice interior

Sat outside this cosy coffee shop, purely for soaking up the sun, and so tried their coffee. Very average tasting beans, nothing special. Prefer York’s opposite the road.

Lovely cup of tea & coffee & my husband is fussy about his coffee. Staff very polite & welcoming.

Went in today to get a quick take away coffee.Getting to order our drinks took ages(I had to repeat my order 3 times), making them took even longer, and they made my order with normal milk instead of soya i asked for. Also we paid...

Ok so all I wanted today morning was a flat white and sit in the sun but from the word go the service felt a tad unfriendly. Flat white was undrinkable, watery literally had to leave it behind. Also a long wait for a cup of coffee.Checked with another customer she had the same problem. Cannot recommend the coffee. Service was a bit confused and very slow. I hoped it would have been a better experience.

Popped in here on Wednesday around 12:30 pm and enjoyed a very well made latte, quickly served. Really nice staff, both ladies were friendly and helpful. Great coffee, cozy environment, smiley staff. What else would anyone want?Will return again soon

Went in here on a Sunday visit. The attitude of the lady who served us was terrible.Was drinking coffee in front of us while taking our order. After a long wait I had the most awful flat white I ever had made by another member of staff. Too bitter and burnt milk.There seemed to be lots of staff but little organisation of who was doing what. Not just me but other customers were being barked at. I think I will come here again but perhaps in a few months time-when things are a bit more organised

Very nice cafe, the coffee and muffins felt really fresh and healthy.

This morning I thought I would pop in for a latte coffee. Highly disappointing as the coffee was weak, milky and cold. Table service very very slow. Staff members were completely disinterested taking my order. When they did no smile was given. I just paid...

Quaint little place to have a coffee and escape the rain! The coffee we both had, Cappuccino and Americano were lovely. Would visit again for sure.

Very friendly and reasonably priced ...

Great coffee and very tasty brunch dishes, the perfect place to start off the day if you're spending the day in Stratford-Upon-Avon. Located on the High Street on the corner entrance of Bells Court, Bardia's quite a small and narrow café with only about 4 small tables inside and some more seating outside, but this is made up for by the great coffee and moorish brunch dishes, not too complicated or heavy but just tasty food. The decor is relaxing and cosy and the staff are fabulous and very friendly. The Belgian Apple Cake is a must have, really delcilous!

I went to the cafe with my daughter the other day- I love the area and the location is just great. They have tables outside and inside and the atmosphere is lovely. Sadly the young blonde lady we were serving by didn’t really show the...

We visited here yesterday and sat in the courtyard. The lady server was so very friendly as was the lady who served us. She even said there are heaters in the courtyard, just press the button. The coffee was perfect the blackcurrant crumble tart was...

Great staff, friendly and super helpful. Cute little cafe with plenty of outside space to sit and chill with your drink. Went twice while we were visiting, once for the coffee and once in the morning for food and coffee. Food was beyond what we expected from such a small cafe, not to sound dramatic but probably the best sandwich iv ever eaten (definitely try the Bacon Delight if you visit, pictured below). A must visit for anyone from locals to visitors.

Great food and coffee, friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. If you’re in Stratford would definitely recommend!

Nice light bite, good coffee, nice staff

While waiting too long for our coffee's we noticed some customers ordering after us getting their takeaway coffee's before us. We politely asked staff if we were getting our drinks and were rudely told they were busy and we'd get our drinks when they were...

I'm a Costa fan but when in Stratford, I will go here for a table first, it's way better.. Great Coffee, great food, worth waiting patiently for.

Lovely street cafe. Pleasant outside space

Excellent!! My partner and I called today and had two very good coffees and sandwiches made to order. Nothing too much trouble (we asked for one sandwich without garlic oil and that was no problem). Cheery friendly service. Would recommend!

Really good coffee and the cakes were very nice.

The white hot chocolate and Persian love cake are divine! Always very friendly service and it's such a pretty cafe.

Had the Bacon Delight , best sandwich ever, went back a second time- if we ever visit Stratford upon Avon again will def be there, excellent service

Best coffee in town, nice sandwiches and cakes.

Lovely, it's always nice to pop in and have good cup of coffee and a delicious treat with it.

It was a very hot morning in Stratford upon Avon and we were pleased to find a seat in the shade outside this café. Indeed there is no indoor seating area. The staff were extremely friendly and pleasant, the coffee was of good quality but...

Came here with my girlfriend a few days ago and had some delicious brunch and coffee. I got the Sunny Scrambled and my girlfriend got a bacon and sausage roll. They both looked amazing and tasted even better! The staff were very friendly too :)...

As regular visitors we were really saddenned by todays visit. The usual ordrr of milkshake was very warm & therefore was undrinkable. When l pointed out it was warm l were given tone that it was a hot day. No apology.... nothing. Bardias need to...

Jammy Dodger blondie was very good

After waiting 15 mins asked for arefund as told apps took proirty

Lovely coffee and toasties-and ambiance-my favourite coffee stop in Stratford

Good coffee, cake a little dry. Not the ceapest

They used whole milk instead of oat milk and didn't seem overly bothered. Be wary coming here if you are vegan or lactose intolerant.
