Boswells Cafe in Gloucester

This is a fantastic cafe with a great selection of food to cater for all, including vegans and vegetarians. The extra bonus is they also go the extra mile for people with allergies, and will swap or add extras to compensate for food with allergens. Lovely staff that always help with these problems. Thank you.

It's a staple ,you know what you are going to get.Good food and reasonable prices.

Fab breakfast and also they were really helpful talking to my adult ESOL Ebglosh students. Thank you very much Boswell's :-)

It's a great place to relax at the city center. Beautifully decorated seating arrangements and friendly staff will grab your attention to make your visit from one time to frequently. I visited with my wife on our anniversary day without any prior planning, and their services just made our day.

Lovely gluten-free Club sandwich, worth giving this a try if you're gluten intolerant. Tried most items on the menu before intolerance came up and hard going somewhere else for breakfast or lunch. Probably nicest people working at this place for the last couple of years, always with a smile and nothing too much trouble,

Good food and well presented. Atmosphere was excellent. I could not get a signal in the restaurant so I moved out to the seated area. I was able to do various things on my phone without being bothered by anyone.

I’d like to recommend Kieron who is very officiant and very friendly he treats me with respect

Had toasted cheese it was over done had a job to cut it and not enough cheese in it. Last week we had to wait 40mins people came in after us and got severd before us can't understand, if l didn't go up and complain it would have been longer we have been coming to the cafe for a long time but lately the service has not been good.

Food was nice. Staff friendly. Price was ok. Location not their fault but glos is a bit of a dive. That said this place was a bit.of a diamond in the rough and lunch was good.

Nice place to have a coffee, plenty of healthy food options etc, they do an absolutely banging full English breakie, plenty of seating 💺 there's no downside to Boswells:)

Love there pie and chips haven't really been in there much .but my friend said they do a pie &chips & pot of tea for just £5.95 so yes it was lovely will go again..

Served with a smile and humour. Great coffee though a little pricey. I guess their central location commands premium prices. Overall I enjoyed my mid week visit.

Lovely cheese and ham toasties and the banana shake is amazing . Lovely staff too.

Food was adequate, very expensive now. So due to price increase won't be going back anytime soon. Can't afford it.

Hey, it was nice but a bit expensive,

Boswells is great British cafe,Gloucester cafe is a great shop,lovely staff,great food and drink,Boswells should really think about having more ,maybe even a drive through chain ,take on the likes of Costa, I think it would do very well as costa,mcdonalds or others they don't do traditional breakfast etc ,I could quiet do with a nice takeaway jacket potato or something similar sometimes.

Nice little cafes, polite staff, always go here, when I go into town.

Brilliant really good, good food

Best coffee shop / cafe in Gloucester it's the first place I head for when in town.

Good staff very well run place.will visit on a regular basis

Visited here with my mum, sister and 2 young nephews. Staff were so friendly, food came out quickly and was delicious. Will definitely visit next time I'm in Gloucester.

Recently ate at Boswells café despite being fairly empty service took longer than expected. When the food did finally arrive we noticed multiple items missing and some of the food was cold. Overall, this was a disappointing experience and I won't be returning. It's a shame because with better management and attention to detail, this place could have potential. Save yourself the frustration and find another breakfast spot with better service and quality.

Great range of food on offer, great price.

Had the all day breakfast and it was freshly cooked and hot, which to me is most important. Tea was hot too. All in all a good meal and worth coming back for.

Superb value for money I had the Beef lasange with chips,my wife had seniors special (pie, chips and pot of tea) Both meals were delicious and plentiful Staff were very obliging and pleasant Will definitely be visiting again soon

Very good service very clean but a little on the expensive side

A simple and typically expensive airport lounge coffee shop

Well positioned in Eastgate Mall which has entrances off both Eastgate Street & Southgate Street. Seating at Boswells is either out in the soft seats in the concourse, which is a great place to watch people pass by, or inside the cafe area. Both areas are comfortable. Good selection of hot foods & cakes & the staff are friendly & helpful.

Staff always friendly and helpful, have been in for breakfast a few times. Nice atmosphere.

The food is excellent quality and value for money. I have mobility issues and the staff are so friendly and helpful nothing is too much trouble and importantly for me I don’t feel rushed or a nuisance. If I could award more stars I would.

A visit after years, very nice and polite

Friendly staff good service, would recommend.

Had an all day breakfast. Was tasty enough, but , different parts at different temps. E.g. Chips very hot, beans luke warm

Had milk shake, although delicious thought it overpriced.

Food is always lovely. Cakes are gorgeous. Great atmosphere. Staff are friendly and polite. Tables are cleared quickly. Wonderful place to visit.

Lovely cup of coffee and a sausage sandwich, friendly staff. 👍

Purchased a takeaway as seated area prices were far more expensive than takeaway. Sandwich came uncut ( just 2 pieces of bread uncut ) Saw assistants take food to table with same gloves that prepared food. So I hope no customers had any food allergies. The person that served us was very rude. Definitely 0/5 for all above.

Ordered 2 coffees and 2 bacon sandwiches today. The bacon was rock hard. Told the manager and nothing,just an apology!! £16 + I paid for all this .will not be going back!!

They are very good they know me well serving cappuccino.

A great place to eat and drink in central Gloucester Staff are friendly and helpful Kieron who assisted me was polite, helpful with amazing manners

Always a good breakfast. The eggs tend to be a bit runny for my liking but if you ask when u order they will do "well done" eggs. Wraps are good too :D

Pretty ordinary food, nothing to write home about for the price. Noticed a member of staff having her lunch in the main cafe and just left her half eaten food on the table. Didn't bother to take it back but left for someone else to collect (which it wasn't for at least 20 minutes while we were there). Teamwork?

Excellent food at reasonable prices very pleasant servers

I go here two days a week with my friend and we have a coffee. Me and my partner went here on 23rd September and we had a meal and a coffee here and it was very nice. The staff were very nice and friendly too.

A nice english breakfast & cappuccino ☕

My husband's favourite cafe! Friendly staff and delicious good value food and drink.

No Vegan options listed. Ended up being moaned at for eating vegan food from somewhere else - despite having bought items from them and eating outside.

Friendly staff and quick service

Always a pleasant experience. Easy to just enjoy something to eat and drink and relax a short while. Unlike of course.....many other mainstream food retailers .....where something or other is not available, not supplied, or forgotten from the order.

Mug of tea was best I've had whilst out for a long while

I went in with the family and only ordered drinks. I asked for Deluxe Hot Chocolate and paid £3.55 to have the cream and marshmallows, but it wasn't too be, plenty of cream only, when I asked I was told they were underneath, wrong again.

Great place to meet your friends for coffee and food, plenty of choice, friendly young staff and very clean

Most of the food is prepared in store & often made to order. Good cooked breakfasts.

Slow service, very expensive but lovely treat

Jacket potatoes were perfect. Friendly and efficient service

Food was nice but the coffee cold not hot

Friendly, helpful & efficient staff 5 🌟 Food is fresh n tasty. Venue is spotlessly clean. 5 🌟 all round

Had a very nice baguette with good filling, and coffee. Courteous staff quick service.

Popped in for a bite to eat for lunch after going to have eyes tested. Went to M&S but massive queue, so went to Boswells, it was busy but able to get a table. Had a light snack a panini, was tasty.

Love Boswells, I don't go into town very often. When I do go to town I always stop at Boswells for a lovely latte and a snack. So far I have not been disappointed. Will happily recommend Boswells.

Nice place, friendly staff, good coffee. The "cooked fresh" breakfasts are stretching a point - the sausages bacon and baked beans are kept warm, so could be hotter - but still pretty good.

First time in was very nice , food was great atmosphere was good

Love Boswell but today I saw something special. Ollie took time out to address a lady by name, ask how her day was yesterday and chat to her for a few minutes, it clearly made her day. He then turned round and welcomed an older gentleman by addressing him good morning sir. I love the respect that these two more mature people got, Boswells might be the only social interaction they have today and Ollie made it amazing for them. Good coffee too! Edit - Thanks for acknowledging Boswells 😀 this was actually meant for the Boswells in Yate, not sure how I didn’t realise I was posting on the Glos one 🙄

Lovely setting, service was fast and efficient, food perfect, their toasted paninis

Really friendly staff and the food smelt amazing! Me and my friend popped in here for an iced coffee and milkshake. Both were delicious and reasonably priced! They do have plenty of seating inside the cafe as well so plenty of space to sit as well as having takeaway.

This is great for coffee n a great snack. Staff very pleasant too

Very good and extremely reasonably priced food.. Service excellent. Can see why they are always busy.

Friendly staff as usual. Prices a bit more than other places,but food is always hot.

One I wrote them after that one more time but they didn't reply. Just ignore to reply

It was OK, very expensive like most things now

Nice food at a reasonable price. Quick service, clean and tidy.

I think it nit like it used to be gone down hl

Had the all day breakfast, which was quite good. Liked the sausage & bacon which tasted nice & were good quality. Everything was nicely cooked. Pleasant staff 🙂 Thought the decor could do with a refresh.

Visited for the first time recently and was pleasantly surprised, great food, great service and plenty of places to sit

Great Latte Frappe. Thanks fir the rest before our bus journey!!!

Great place to stop off and enjoy a nice coffee. Indoors so no risk of rain or heatstroke such was the heat on our visit to Gloucester. Nice staff, very polite and friendly, with a smile.

Only had a soft drink but a lovely caff

Great place to go to. Coffee, pastries and lunch. Smooth ordering process and friendly staff. Accept the Gloucester Gift Card.

£9 for a panini and chips! Only it's not a panini it's a small toasted baguette...

lovely friendly place, nice food

Always head for Boswells when in town. Food lovely & staff so friendly & helpful. I'm a wheelchair user and never have to ask for help. They always carry tray, sort table etc very willingly.. went in Boswell's today after not being in town for a long time. Same good service. Only had a drink this time but all food we saw looked good.

Excellent service, my Wife loves their toast !! Always the 1st call when we go to Gloucester.

nice coffee nice blueberry muffin

Great breakfast here,always busy but can always get a seat worth a visit

Lovely friendly staff, well organised.

I love the cafe, even it just a hot drink and go. And the team is amazing.

Ok breakfast. Price a bit high. Not as good as last vist.

Can't fault this place, good food, well priced, nice set out area, plenty of tables. Tables always cleared and cleaned by staff. Staff are always friendly, helpful and seem to work tirelessly.

Stopped here on a thursday even over christmas Boswells was quiet so service was quick . If i had any niggles the all day breakfast has changed since i first went there . Also still disappointed people won't wear face coverings but Boswells have an open area for more air but even inside plenty of room. I still recommend Boswells 👌

Oh Dear, what's happend to Boswells? Not been in for a while, but wife and I went in today for usual snack and it was awful. Apart from being served hardly warm, the qaulity of the food was non existent. Only gave it 2 stars because the girl serving was at least very polite. Won't be back in a hurry Boswells 😕

Had a midday meal 2 all day breakfasts, 1 vegetarian breakfast and a triple deck sandwich. All of us were pleasantly full and also enjoyed our various drinks. All in all very pleased with the food and drinks.

We stopped off to have a refreshment break. Tea for two and it was OK. The staff were pleasant enough

Very good. Staff excellent a very busy place.

Lovely staff, clean and brightly lit, good karma and lovely atmosphere, great coffee and will defo visit again.

Clean place. Nice food and good coffee.

Food was ok but stupidly expensive

The best place for a good food and coffee 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Food was ok but no one asked if we required and salt and sauces etc. No menu's available and very little choice. Staff were polite

Ok place but went in at 3pm and there was no decent food to have as they was cleaning up

Fab service, great coffee and cake.
