Black Sheep Coffee - Reading Queen Victoria Street in Reading - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Awful and expensive! I massively regret this life decision on missing the 33 bus! I’m £11 worse off for 2 drinks that weren’t even average, have to order on a screen and the staff preparing the drinks are devoid of curtesy or any emotion. Over £5 for an iced tea, order large for what is a regular in any other coffee shop. You’ll also have to guess it’s your order that’s ready as despite being given a number by the order screen the staff will just dump it on the counter and say absolutely nothing !

good coffee, expensive but worth it i would give my first born child for a waffle from here lol i don't find it unhygienic like some people said

You must use the touch screens to place an order but these were very dirty and the one I used was also unresponsive and hence slow and frustrating to use. I felt so sorry for the single server who did their best but it took 15mins for me to order and get my smoothie which was slightly lukewarm and cost over £6. Very disappointing experience.

Very friendly and quick service staff were a pleasure and the product was amazing aswell. Would recommend.

Convenient for us because is located in front of our hotel. Having breakfast early in the morning, a cup of tea and pastel de nada, famous and greedy portoguese pasty. Nothing special (of course, we are in Reading not in Lisbon), but i hoped for something better anyway. Cleanliness left something to be desired, but prices of High Street.

Very expensive 3.19 for a small coffee thot was completly burnt and tasted awful! Lots of dirty empty tables and THREE staff behind the counter just gossiping about there friends. Didn’t greet any customers or even thank them as they left, a little customer services goes a long way when charging THAT kind of price for coffee.

Popped in on an impulse to buy a flat white. My eyes nearly popped out when they said it'd be £4.09 FOR A SMALL flat white. Don't get me wrong it was a nice coffee but given the price I'd be disappointed if it wasn't

Awful across the board, paid £8 for the saddest looking smoothie bowl that took 25 minutes to make. Looked nothing like what was advertised. Staff looked untrained. Do not waste your time or money here. The owner should be ashamed

I sometimes go to black sheep when I’m working early and it’s so worth the f**kin money!!! Excellent service and fantastic coffee!( also the double caffeine coffee is so strong so beware!) the staff are so kind and considerate and as someone who works in a similar industry i deeply appreciate how genuine the staff are ❤️❤️

Online e-commerce meets coffee shop. I've come to a coffee shop not an e-commerce site. Menu navigation appears to have not been near a human - who adds +1 coffee to a selection all ready made? How do I then navigate back to add +1 pain au raisin to my assumed 0? This was an experiment in somewhere new and won't be repeated.

First time I visited, the Americano wasn’t very hot with the milk added. So next time I had it black, and it’s good coffee. This chain’s similar in style to the likes of Costa and Starbucks–and they call your name when the coffee’s ready, as in Starbucks. But those chains get the temperature of the coffee right. The lovely European staff were fresh and enthusiastic. That’s why I went back. It’s a friendly, comfortable place to get a caffeine fix. This time I also had a pain au raisin but found it a bit flimsy. It’s hard to compete on that front with Costa, who sell M&S pastries. If I want a cake with my coffee, I guess it’s still going to be Costa all the way.

Yuck. Directed to a touchscreen to order. Those things are very unhygienic. I couldn't find a way to order what I wanted so I left. Decaf americano with hot milk on the side. It would be so much easier just to ask someone than try and navigate a dirty, confusing touchscreen.

A medium cappuccino and decaf latte with almond croissant cost almost £11. Both coffees were lukewarm, there was no gluten free pastries, no serviettes and the touch screen ordering was slow and confusing. Won't return.

We had a couple non coffee based lattes here and will never return. The drinks were nothing to write home about, and they were very expensive for the size. We got small and they are not kidding… they were tiny… But almost 7.00 pounds for the both feels like highway robbery to us.

The coffee is great! This was our second time coming here and all the things we tried were great from sanwiches to waffles to mini doughnuts. Great addition to the coffee shops of Reading.
