Blake's Kitchen in West Oxfordshire

What a gem! Not been in there before. But great atmosphere. Yummy food and reasonable price. What more could you want!

Amazing sandwiches, cinnamon rolls are amazing. The brownies are the best I've ever had!

Epic cafe! The cinnamon buns and sourdough are a must have. The queue is worth it. Would come again just for the cinnamon buns!

Fantastic menu, homemade, locally sourced, tonnes of creativity 🙌

The most perfect place for every meal occasion or for a coffee and cake, probably the best restaurant, diner or cafe, In the local area. Blakes is practically perfect in every possible way you won't go wrong and everything you eat is delicious

Our favoriteeeee place, an absolute gem!🍴✨ From the first sip of their velvety cappuccino to the last bite of their juicy pulled pork burger, and a delicious full English breakfast, every moment here is a treat. Portions are generous, and prices feel fair for the quality. Whether you’re fueling up post-hike, catching up with friends, or treating yourself to dessert, Blake’s Kitchen nails it.

A must have is the full English breakfast. With out a doubt the best I've ever had. After having a full English breakfast there, I really enjoying it. We decided to have my wife's birthday get together there. Tom and the team couldn't be more helpful in setting it up and making it a memorable day. The customer service, the food and the environment was outstanding. We had over 30 people catered for, and the staff were brilliant. Tom, if you're reading this, thank you for everything you did.

Brilliant food and coffee and amazing service, thank you so much

Went in for breakfast on Saturday. Food was fantastic and a lovely atmosphere. Will definitely go back

Amazing atmosphere and always very busy. The staff were welcoming and extremely nice and the food and coffee there was amazing! Would 100% come back

Excellent food (very filling) and coffee. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Delicious food, great coffee, and friendly service. Donuts and cinnamon buns are amazing.

Great food and the coffee isn't bad either!

Friendly staff with a good range of home made food, cake's and bread

we were there for breakfast. We were outside with our dog. Ordered inside and then brought to the table. We ate salmon with scrambled eggs and cinnamon buns with yogurt. plus two coffees and orange juice. Unfortunately, the cups and substitutes were not clean - as was the cutlery, which you had to take with you inside. The food was extremely tasty and a really large portion.

been here about 10-15 times and i have never been disappointed. food is always incredible. they always change the menu so there is something new to try. drinks menu is lovely. the bakery is also delicious. all the people who work there are so friendly and helpful. reccomended blake's kitchen to everyone 💓💓

Excellent breakfast place with wonderful sourdough bread and other cakes and pastries! Full English (with scrambled eggs) - 4.5/5 Vege Full English (with poached eggs) - 3.8/5 Saw someone else had the salmon and scrambled eggs on toast and that looked really good too…half regret not ordering that instead!

Called here on my own 2 Saturday's ago, took a friend last Saturday and 3 of us for a ride on our motorbikes today when 2 of us had Cinnamon buns and my friend who had come for the first time had the triple cheese toasty. We had drinks of individual choice. We all enjoyed the food which is exceptional and although more expensive than other places you get what you pay for and is well worth the extra. We will definitely be returning customers and will be 4 or more of us next time. It is also a nice distance of just over 30 miles for a nice ride on our motorbikes especially on a nice day like we had today. See you soon! Mike.

Tasty food and nice place to sit outside. Dogs can’t go indoors but there’s a covered place outside. The Turkish Eggs were rich but delicious. Nice place for lunch after a dog walk. They do a nice selection of fresh food, salads and cakes.

Agree with the other reviews, it's an outstanding cafe. Every item on sale looks amazing.

Excellent service and food, and reasonably priced, TV celebs also called here when we stopped by for lunch.

Beautiful breakfast and cakes, lovely atmosphere with a fantastic range available.

A café on the road to Burford village that serves a delicious breakfast and spacious seating areas

Excellent food, excellent service. And I was particularly appreciative of the way the staff took my food allergy seriously and dealt with it.

Everything was spot on with this place. Food came out fast, the till staff were nice and helpful and the food was amazing. Best hash browns I’ve ever had

Great place to eat breakfast / brunch /drinks

Have visited here twice before as I spend a lot of time in the immediate area Even left a 5 star review on another foodie site as I was that impressed But todays toasted three cheese sandwich was well below par No slaw or leaves as advertised in the takeaway box with the sandwich It definitely wasn’t worth £10.50 with drink Also quite concerned when I was told they pre make them ! I’m afraid I’ll have to reconsider coming here again unless quality improves & you get what’s advertised

Absolutely wonderful experience, would give it 6 stars if I could. Rolled up solo on my motorbike after spotting it on Shed and Buried or similar. Was blown away by an incredible three cheese toastie on fresh sourdough with shoestring crisps and lovely crunchy fresh coleslaw. Could tell the chef really cared. I'll be back to sample the amazing looking cakes. Great spot and biker friendly.

Avoid the brownies otherwise all good.

We stopped off after a walk and had the most delicious lunch. The salads in their goodness bowls are as good as Ottolenghi. Excellent coffee, delicious cinnamon bun, great staff! What a place!

Brilliant breakfast in a lively friendly atmosphere. Everything was made from scratch that can be , beautifully presented. Left with a smile and a slice of incredibly tasty Lardy cake.

Blake’s Kitchen is always packed full of people either sitting or queuing to get a table. The food, cakes, bread are fantastic every time. I had avocado on sour dough toast with two poached eggs and bacon. The eggs were perfectly cooked and runny. My wife had the same without the avocado and was amazing also. Coffees are lively are a hot. The cinnamon buns are to die for. All in all a fantastic visit. All staff are lovely and welcoming.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Lovely place to come for lunch, especially useful in the quiet countryside. Charming and delicious gourmet food!

Have been here a few times now with my wife. Love the pulled pork sandwich and poached eggs on sourdough toast. Always quick service and delicious food! Plus great coffee too :)

Went to Blake’s for the first time the other week. Food was great, worth the price! Bakery items were also amazing! Is very busy in there, and not a lot of room nor parking! Can also takeaway food!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Blake's Kitchen and I must say that it's incredible! The ambiance was cozy and intimate and the dishes were delightful. The menu offerings are diverse and their signature dishes are exceptional. The wait staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure to make it an enjoyable experience for all. The prices are quite reasonable and the food is always fresh and delicious. Overall, I would highly recommend Blake's Kitchen for anyone looking for a great meal at an affordable price.

Delicious salad bowl and good coffee, recommended 👌

This is an awesome bakery that has something for everyone ..the plant based , gluten free brownie was a delight snd the nourishing bowl was fantastic…plant based without the yogurt . My daughter got the cinnamon roll and loved it.

Great little cafe with delicious cakes. Highly rate the cakes from this little cafe, particularly the brownie, rocky road, blondies - all have been delicious, maybe a bit rich for some tastes but certainly a 5 star for me

Love this place anyway, but turned up on spec with 12 family members. The staff were completely unfazed, food was as awesome as always and all turned up quickly, at the same time and beautifully presented. Simply brilliant!

I am a regular at Blake's kitchen and the food/cakes/bakes/bread are fantastic every time. Staff are always lovely no matter how busy and food is promptly served. It is a popular cyclist spot so it can get very busy. The only thing I would say they could do differently is vegetarian options, their veggie breakfast has halloumi and avocado instead of sausage/bacon but a veggie sausage would be nice. Cinnamon buns are amazing.

Amazing small town cafe with post office. Excellent bakery with fresh bread made on site. Clean environment and covered outdoor eating area. Friendly staff and service with a smile - just as we found everywhere during our cycling tour of the Cotswold.

Stopped here for breakfast on our way to our campsite at ye olde swan. Had the best full breakfast I’ve had for a long time and my wife had the French toast with compote which was lovely too. Friendly staff and great service . Took some cakes too when we left which were very tasty. Small car park but the road outside you can park on but a bit of a busy road.

Visited after being recommended to by a friend. Maybe the best cinnamon bun I've ever eaten: freshly baked, supple as a bow crafted by the finest bowyer, properly portioned and proportioned as per the golden ratio. This fluffy, light, yet rich bun will send your tastebuds to nirvana leaving your, certainly not dry, mouth craving the next bite. Bon appetit! Good coffee too.

Blake's breakfast - I really recommend to try

Never been here however my mother bought home a large white sourdough from the weekend and it’s probably the best sourdough I’ve tasted in the UK. Open crumb inside, crispy outside and the sour taste is 👌 *chefs kiss*. This truly is the bread of dreams. We’re set to leave our humble abode here in Essex to travel the length and breadth of the UK and Blake’s is on the list of places to visit. Watch out for our big boy camper (Vince) rocking up in Bampton sharpish! Take a bow Blake’s Kitchen your bread rocked my world!

Always a wonderful experience, absolutely delicious food. My daughter loved the bread so much she bought a loaf with her pocket money. Highly recommend

I'm not a 5/5 reviewer but it's hard to think how this place could improve. The light meals are phenomenally tasty, the hot chocolate was exceptional and the staff are friendly and professional. It's pricy but worth it and always busy.

This place is very popular, even in the rain and doesn't take long to see why. We were indoors but plenty of coverage outside. I had a beef toasty which had plenty of beef and flavour. coffee was good to. Despite being so busy, staff are calm and welcoming.

Visited here recently after some colleagues recommended it. After finding out dogs are allowed we made the trip over for late lunch/brunch. One coffee, hot chocolate and breakfast bap and pulled pork burger and it’s safe to say we will be revisiting. There’s a small car park right next to the building (which doubles up as the post office) and then lots of cars parked along the street. There didn’t appear to be anyone struggling to get parked. They do baked goods as well with a loyalty card for cinnamon buns. One for the road and to have later as we were full. Would recommend. We will revisit and will be recommending to friends.

Eerlijk, heerlijk, rustiek eten! Snelle keuken en een heerlijke koek voor onderweg meegenomen. Genoten!

Hidden gem This place is amazing A must is the lardy cake and sausage roll oh cinnamon bun I could go on The pulled pork bap chai latte all just fab ,staff happy ,friendly , . Amazing place with amazing food

A Cotswold cafe that doesn’t allow dogs inside…make it make sense….back to Lynwoods we go.

My family and I recently had the most wonderful lunch at Blake's Kitchen, and I cannot express enough how delightful the experience was! The food, oh, the food! Comfort food at its finest! Every dish we ordered was a true culinary delight, made with love and care. But what truly made our lunch exceptional was the warm, friendly service we received from the staff. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and attended to our every need with a smile. It's evident that the team at Blake's Kitchen takes great pride in ensuring their guests have a memorable experience. In conclusion, if you're looking for a place to enjoy delicious comfort food in a cosy and rustic environment with top-notch service, look no further than Blake's Kitchen. Thank you, Blake's Kitchen, for an unforgettable lunch - we'll be singing your praises to everyone we know!

Blakes is a fabulous place. The food is amazing, in particular the scotch eggs and the sour dough are popular in our family. There is lots of seating options- you can choose to sit inside, outside under cover and outside with a sun umbrella. Take your table number when you order so they can find you. Also a great place to get takeaway. The goodness bowls are incredible. The cakes are huge and tasty and it is all at a decent price.

They do the best cinnamon buns in the UK - which I appreciate could sound like an exaggeration - but I’ve not found better! The cafe is nice as well, serving a range of other yummy items. They also sell flour from a local mill which is great encouragement for home baking. I look forward to coming here when I’m in the area!

Stopped off during a drive for a quick snack and honestly I was salivating at the front counter with all the cakes and food being served. I had the breakfast muffin and a latte. I now want no other breakfast muffin apart from this one... This has caused me great sorrow as I am an hour away and wish I could just walk down for some bread or a coffee Would absolutely recommend to anyone going past to stop and grab a bite!!

We went here to buy a load of stuff for the family, cinnamon rolls, a sausage roll and a salt focaccia and some cakes. Full disclosure, we (2 of us) ate a full focaccia a cinnamon roll, a sausage roll and a biscoff cake in the car outside, such were their quality. I'm not proud of myself, but I'd do it again.

Great food, spacious tables, good service .. all quite special. The only downside for us today was a couple of customers had yappy dogs with them barking throughout our meal 😞

Absolutely amazing food. Fresh and good portions. Friendly staff and a lovely, friendly vibe. It’s also very hard to leave without a sourdough loaf and something sweet for a cuppa later .

Never had a breakfast like it ,was amazing

Lovely bakery and cafe very healthy varied menu the bakery has great bead and is a bonus to the cafe . nice staff highly recommend .

Absolutely superb breakfast and homemade sourdough. Only came here because I was early for an away day, and that was a brilliant decision.

The cornflake brownie is one of the best things I’ve ever had in my mouth. Jesus Christ.

Absolutely beautiful food and great atmosphere - will definitely be back!

The cinnamon buns are really good when you're high ... high up in the Brecon Beacons on a bank holiday weekend that is!

Great food, great coffee, great staff…..can’t ask for any more than that!

Just lovely friendly atmosphere made to feel welcome and the food & drink were fabulous & fresh .. we even stopped our nattering to remark more than once on how good it was ⭐️

Best kept secret in Oxfordshire?? BBQ pulled pork brioche with coleslaw and paprika shoestring crisps was heaven. Coffee is strong and smooth. The cake/brownie/bun selection is more than adequate (!) Staff are friendly, superslick, and deserve your tips! ☺️ We had a post-prandial round Buscot Park afterwards, but Clanfield is equally lovely. If you're cycling through on a tour or a ride then you *absolutely* must make a stop here. Loads of outside seating to keep an eye on your bikes and it's 20mph through the village so tranquil too.

Having organised a rendezvous over lunch with another family, we all looked forward to eating at Blakes today, especially after having heard such good reviews! Upon our arrival (12:30), we discovered that there was a struggle for parking. Thankfully, there is a free car park at the far end of the village, just a few hundred metres down the road and well within walking distance, with a footpath all the way. Understandably, it was fairly busy being the peak of lunchtime on a Saturday and we borrowed a couple of chairs for our makeshift long table. The menu is varied and the food on offer caters to a wide audience, with kids and vegetarian options available. I ordered the Blakes BBQ pulled pork Brioche bun. It came with coleslaw and homemade paprika shoe strings. It truly tasted delightful, so much so, I couldn't stop my daughter from stealing half of it! I would strongly recommend for all meat lovers out there! My wife ordered one of the specials; cheese toastie served with Portuguese chorizo stew. The toastie tasted decent, especially having been served on Blakes' very own, home baked sourdough bread (loaves are available for purchase at the till for £4). The stew however was rather disappointing, despite looking appetising and presented well, it tasted quite bland. The toilets were clean and tidy, as was the rest of the cafe. I found that the customer service could have been slightly more friendly, as I did not see a single smile. It is more expensive than most cafes but you are getting what you are paying for; high quality produce. I enjoyed my lunch at Blakes and I would recommend it to all, for a high-quality lunch out.

Still a great option for a treat, lovely for brunch, or a coffee and cake.

This place is a gem, the food is great. I can recommend all of the baked goods, the cinnamon rolls are great, so is the victoria sponge and the chocolate cake. You can see where this is going.

After a lengthy walk, we arrived at Blake’s kitchen. Spacious, well designed, with friendly and efficient staff. We had the cheese and garlic toasties with mushroom soup. Very tasty, and excellent value- just what was required! Would highly recommend to visitors to the area.

food is always so delicious and perfect. everyone is always so welcoming and friendly and do everything to make each meal perfect. the drinks are also amazing and they always have a good selection. it's good how they always change the menu so regulars can always find something new to have. there has never been a bad experience there and we have always left happy and full of good food

Lovely .. great customer service. Had 2 breakfasts and 2 coffees. Speedy service. A real local special with locally sourced ingredients not to mention the bread. Brilliant all round. Definitely be going back. Thank you

One of the best breakfasts I have ever eaten, absolutely incredible. Baked goods were taken away and were also brilliant!

We had 2 “Blake’s breakfast” & our 8 month old had avocado and scrambled egg on toast. Our breakfasts were really poor, everything was so salty to the point of it stinging our tongues. Really unenjoyable. The hash browns were very thick but no flavour...

My hubby saw this place on a tv programme so we thought we’d give it a try! The chicken and avocado sourdough was yummy and loved the paprika shoestring crisps! Nice surprise. Will add this place to my favourite places to recommend!

Creative food executed very well, great baked products. Very hospitable staff and outdoor seating area has a fun festival vibe.

Staying in Clanfield we decided on a brunch here and it was a real treat! Lovely staff. Efficient service. Turkish eggs and good coffee. A little village gem!

Just the most delicious breakfast. From the plum tomatoes to the sausage patty it was amazing. It took a while but so worth the wait. Such a lovely atmosphere and friendly happy staff. It was a delight to sit and watch the buzzing about. The...

Had bacon sandwich breakfast..amazing. Took away salad, homemade bread and scotch eggs, they all tasted amazing. Highly recommend

First visit to this Cafe. Two main points.... The quality of cakes and coffee was excellent! The staff were uniformly helpful and friendly! Seated outside post lockdown b.....y marvellous.

Visited today with my family and had a lunch and cake. It was amazing. Reasonably priced and excellent quality I can especially recommend the pulled pork sandwich and the cinammon buns are second to none.

We popped in yesterday. Amazing hot chocolate and the best blondie we’ve ever had! I would recommend a visit just to try the kinder bueno blondies! We were also really impressed with the covid precautions in place. Great job guys!

Very tasty food, fab service, nothing too much trouble for the staff. We sat outside, well organised with COVID precautions Well done

amazing place, amazing service even with the Covid restrictions.. However the coffee is dreadful, they use a light roast which really doesn't work for espresso coffee

Called in for breakfast this morning - delicious bacon rolls on brioche...the best ever! Excellent, fast & professional service all delivered in a Covid compliant way. Hats off to you and all the staff!! The menu is varied and interesting and so good that you can register personal details for track & trace and browse the menu via an app on your mobile - very efficient.

Simple and pleasant experience. Turn up, wait for an outdoor table. Efficient waiter service. And amazing food.

I called in a couple of weeks ago on a cycle ride. I don't normally stop as it's right on my doorstep so usually carry on home, but stopped with a group. The cakes are amazing! Puts hairs on your chest and will certainly fuel tired legs. Good Covid safety measures and friendly staff, I won't keep bypassing I'll make it a midride stop point. Thank you :)

Plenty of choice on their new post lockdown menu. Tempting smells of bbq as soon you enter the courtyard. Great fast service with plenty of space between tables. I chose the bbqed aubergine which was so well cooked it was almost caramelised. They really know how to put flavours together here. My mum chose the eggs and sausage burger muffin which looked delicious and a decent portion.
