Cafe in the Green in Malvern Hills

Never felt so unwelcome, cannot be solo and have a coffee and snack between 11-1 as it's lunchtime, even with empty tables around.

We found this place by accident, it was spotlessly clean and the waiter who I think is the owner was friendly and efficient. All four of us enjoyed our drinks and meals which were very reasonably priced. In fact we enjoyed the food so much we returned the next day for breakfast which left us quite full all day! So nice to get perfectly cooked mushrooms and tomatoes. The veggy breakfast was excellent.

We generally go every week for our panini fix. Great choice and if you need to tweak your order that's not a problem. Although quiet when you first meet him, once you get to know Patrick, he's always up for some banter. Quality ingredients, amazing value for money and the coleslaw is to die for.

Enjoyed the food , the premises - as the sun was shining sat outside. Inside looked pleasant too with the provision of reading materials always a good sign for me. The service was friendly and efficient. I enjoyed my stop and would recommend.

My boyfriend and I got stuck in Malvern today due to a bridge strike so we decided to walk from the train station and try to find somewhere warm to wait for transport back to Hereford when we stumbled across this cafe. The food and service was outstanding, very clean and a calm and nice atmosphere, best coffee and hot chocolate we’ve had!!! I would definitely come here again, we were even given small chocolates on our leaving :) Thankyou so much !! Xx

A pleasant enough cafe serving nicely presented food. The waitress forgot to bring our drinks. She was very apologetic, and this can happen to anyone, but surely they should have a system to ensure this kind of thing can't happen? The home made burger was OK, but the cheese really should have been melted and the burger was a bit overcooked. My wife's fried eggs were cooked solid, which was disappointing. Guess you get what you pay for!

A last minute jmeet up with friend decided to try cafe in the green ,,,,, so pleased we did , very reasonably priced , nice paninis delish brie and treated ourselves to choc waffles nice clean friendly place , will definitely go back I only live round the corner

Stopped for lunch and had two lovely salads … a tuna niscoise and a Greek salad. Both were very tasty and with a water and Americano it was very good value. Pity we do not live here as this would be our go to cafe thank you

Smart and comfortable cafe run by friendly people who dish up a great, freshly cooked to order breakfast for a good price. Coupled with quality coffee, what's not to like? The perfect place for breakfast.

It’s tough out there for cafes and restaurants... so its great when you find a place that has got its covid takeaway act together. Easy phone call to order, great response upon answering. Arrived a minute or two early... sandwiches ready and drinks being made. Brilliant service... great tasty sandwiches and good (really good coffee... flat white!). Thank you for letting us enjoy a tasty breakfast experience as part of our exercise today 😀

Excellent breakfast sandwiches this morning. Really fresh bread packed with great quality bacon, egg and sausages. Coffee good too! Thanks for keeping going. Yummo!

A great positive experience with delicious sandwiches, panini and cakes. Coffee great too. The white choc and raspberry gluten free cake was the best gluten free I've tasted (im not gluten free just curious ) a really tasty cake. Great for takeaway too The attention to detail for covid was well appreciated in an area ive found previously lacking in shops etc. Perhaps a good indixator is its full at lunchtime !

Person serving was in friendly and unhelpful. It wasn’t welcoming at all. I wouldn’t go there again. I’m surprised by some of the other reviews.

Having recently moved to Barnards Green, and a friends recomendation. Great selection of foods, environment was very clean, tidy and unique. We both choose the full breakfast, all items were very tasty and fresh. All the usual covid measures in place, so felt very comfortable. The lady in the kitchen (Lorraine?) served our food, very polite. Definitely retuning again.

My daughter organised an afternoon tea at home for me. It was delicious, nicely presented and very tasty. I can thoroughly recommend this. Thelma white

The owner is currently offering afternoon tea delivered locally on Saturday afternoons. I ordered three this week for family members which were received today. All recipients were absolutely delighted with their treats and described them as 'delicious' and 'amazing'. Having seen the pictures, I only wish we lived near enough to order one for ourselves too! We will definitely be doing this again. Highly recommend.

Since moving to Malvern I have struggled to find a breakfast on offer that matches some of the farm shop breakfasts we left behind. I am so glad I tried the Cafe on the Green in Barnards Green, as it has to be the best breakfast we have found in the area. My son and I both had the full English breakfast and were really impressed with how good it was, and also very good value. Nice place to sit in and eat, and bigger then first thought from the outside. Nice staff and quick service for food which is obviously cooked to order as well. Thanks, we will be back.

A very cold winter's morning demanded we seek somewhere to get some hot drinks inside us, and we spied this cafe on the main street. The steps up make it a quite difficult for the mobility impaired customers, and this is repeated when going from the eating area to the toilets. There are numerous tables and chairs and most of them had diners and it was clear that they were regulars who had an excellent rapport with the two staff people who were looking after their customers. The owner came to the table and took our order and seemed to be dealing with a multitude of requested tasks from the diners, many of whom were elderly. The order was quickly brought and was piping hot. The premises and furniture were very clean and tidy despite the numbers of customers. The atmosphere is pleasant with pastel colours to the walls, an extensive serving area displaying a wide variety of cakes, sandwiches, soft drinks, coffees and teas. The unisex toilets are accessed through a door to the rear of the dining area which leads to a very clean compartment with water closet, wash hand basin, etc. wash hand basin.

Really nice home cooked food. Great to be in a family run cafe that isn't part of a chain. Not expensive and friendly owner.

I don't know why there have been no reviews here for a while, but am glad this little café is still running. The food is made fresh so don’t expect fast service, but it’s worth the wait. Also, polite service and various options for gluten-free and vegetarian diets. Will return.

Lovely little cafe with locally sourced food. Had a good sized breakfast which was well priced for what we were given. A little gem on this high street.

Top tip - don't go for breakfast withing 30 mins of breakfast ending! Received a look as we entered. Then nothing. No 'hello' or 'how do you do'? just a deliberate feigning of inattention. Well that's OK, I have all day and you have three other tables to deal with. After 32 minutes, finally some attention. Breakfast please! ''Sorry it ended 2 minutes ago''. First and last visit. Well done to the two ladies running the show - a splendid way to keep the crowds down.

Food was very good, staff friendly, welcoming and professional. Always pleasant to eat here. Lovely cakes too.

Popped into the cafe in the green for a cup of tea and coffee , friendly welcome good quick service nice atmosphere. Will pop on again when in Malvern area .

Popped in today with my Mum and her Friend for a quick catch up and coffee! Lovely little cafe, the gentleman welcomed us and found us a seat. Once seated we received quick service and beautifully presented teas and coffees. A simple coffee shop in the middle of Barnards Green, I would definitely recommend its great value for money! The food looked delicious too.

Deserves the accolades! Great breakfasts, nice coffee, and friendly, helpful service. So pleasing to see an Independent getting it so right!! Will be back

If i am meeting up with friends i always suggest this cafe as it serves up very good drinks,cakes and other hot food to order and the chap who serves is both friendly and very helpful and he keeps the cafe spotless.I would recomend this cafe to all.

Popped in here today to meet a friend during her lunch hour. Was very grateful to the man serving that I could get a coffee in a mug rather than a cup with little handles. I struggle to hold things and often can't find a café that can provide mugs. The coffee was perfect and the hot chocolate was wonderful. I will be back!

Really enjoyed time here on two visits with my children. Simple menu but cooked perfectly. Excellent service from gent and young lady.

The breakfasts they serve are amazing, it’s so easy to do a good full English but so many cafes struggle. Not this one! Would definitely recommend

Incredible value and extememly tasty!

We used to come here at least a few times a week but haven't been able to for a while due to work responsibilities but I'm so happy to see it hasn't changed still an amazing quality breakfast friendly service and always a lovely chat with Patrick!

Lovely homemade cakes, great coffee, helpful friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit and will be going here again

Excellent small cafe. Fairly limited menu as you would expect of a cafe this size - but what is served is well cooked and reasonably priced. Chap behind the counter is always pleasant and efficient, and makes you welcome.

This is a little gem of a café: bright, welcoming and clearly popular with locals of all ages.

Great food, good variety and beautifully presented. Friendly helpful staff, where nothing is too much trouble. Love visiting whenever we are in the area.

My wife and I have been to the Cafe in the Green but never reviwed it before. Barnards Green is not the best place to park, but we got lucky and parked right outside that day. We were after a quick breakfast because we were running late and that's exactly what we got with good strong tea. The cafe is rather small, but well laid out and if the weather is OK (it wasn't that day) there is seating outside. The Proprietor is very efficient with a dry sense of humour (we knew him when he was the Manager of Ask, Malvern) but he seemed a bit distant that day. Well we all have our off days I suppose, and maybe he just didn't feel like a chat. He was probably running around trying to do a lightening fast top quality breakfast for us! We recommend this cafe bearing in mind that that is what it is - it's not a licensed restauant.

This cafe was a brilliant place to morning caffee, nice brew, friendly service and breakfasts looked interesting. It is funny there are 10 cafes in upper town but here only one, but so good it is. Thanks a lot. And please visit Cheeceboard from the opposite side of street - another gem.

Visited for a quick lunch, but wow this place is slow on the service.

Popped in with a friend for coffee. Friendly owner. Lovely small cafe great menu. Lovely cakes scrumptious

We called in for breakfast before a Morgan Factory Tour and were more than happy with the service and food. The breakfast was freshly cooked and served on hot plates and was delicious.The café is spotless clean and has a great ambiance. We both recommend this café if you are in Malvern.

Late Sunday morning, we went for a brunch to the 'Cafe in the Green'. My partner ordered the full 'Healthy'...

It's always nice to be greeted with smile and there was a big smile and a friendly greeting on entering the cafe that made us feel very welcome.

Have eaten here on 2 occasions and yet to find a fault with the food, excellnt service and nice atmosphere,,,,,will be returning again

Been here twice and very impressed both times. Moost recently took Danish visitotrs who really enjoyed their English breakfasts. Although not on the menu I asked speculatively about black pudding; the owner had a secret supply, he sportingly indulged my fancy, and I left feeling very well fed. Good tasty sausage too. Recommended!

Visitamos hoy con mi marido y nuestros 21 meses. El lugar tenía un gran ambiente, pero creo que en un café Saludos! El hombre no podría haber sido más servicial y atento a nosotros y todo el mundo. Incluso nos ayudó a mantener nuestra poco entretenido con un encantador juguete. Sin duda volveremos!

Regular visitors here for lunch whilst working in Malvern. The staff are always helpful and, although the place is relatively small, they do their best to seat you comfortably. Food is consistently good and pretty quick. Will be using again - regularly.

We visited Cafe in the Green today and my two boys decided to try out their ice cream sundaes. One of them went for the Eton Mess sundae and the other tried the Oreo. Despite the sundaes being nearly as big as them they both polished them off! To quote them they were "fab" and "amazing" :-) The staff were lovely and we'll definitely be returning to this great cafe.

Visited again after several months not being the the area My experience is that places tend not to be able to keep the same high standardNot the case here Had an excellent lunch of beefburger and chips and the best cappuccinos for milesSame friendly welcome same efficient service same best valueSome places don't change They are by default better

Walking past on our way to walk the hills and called in for coffee. Could not resist the amazing looking cakes and the looks we're not deceiving, we were given a big chunk of cake along with our excellent coffee, both really tasty. The gentleman serving us was really polite and helpful, even getting a map out to give us walking advice. Will definitely call in next time we are in the area.

Could not rate this gem highly enough- in simple terms the food and drinks are excellent ( breakfast items not to be missed!) the staff are so friendly and welcoming even when rushed off their feet. They make me and my toddler feel so welcome and we so look forward to visiting whenever we can! In a world of chain cafes lacking personal touches or 'fancy on the outside but average at best' alternatives-you can't get better than cafe in the green.

This place has been superb from the beginning. Whenever we want a relaxing pleasant helpful atmosphere to have a meal (great tasting) or coffee (which as big coffee drinkers we rate as 10 out of 10 ) and a lovely home made cake we make a trip here

Visited today with work colleagues and had a delicious snack. The staff are always very friendly and helpful.

Very clean and tidy establishment with a warm friendly welcome. A traditional cafe that is a haven in which to enjoy a well made coffee, a light fresh tasty bite to eat and read the paper in peace. The key here is that the menu is neither over complicated or too extensive, so what they do they do very well. Good value for money too. I will certainly call in here again.

Been coming here for years, it's changed hands many times but I think it's at its best now. Me and mum always come for a brekkie when I come to visit! Spot on :)

I love this place. Only lived locally for a couple of months, but we try and go at least once a week. The cooked breakfasts are great quality and value. They even managed to satisy my dad and his fussy coffee requirements. A real gem of a place in a market dominated by chains.

Had vegetarian breakfasts here this morning. Was really very nice. The chap who runs the place was friendly and spot on with service etc. Coffee nice, atmosphere nice. Just right all round. I do not live in the area but if I did would be a regular here. Serve breakfast until noon and then lunches, milkshakes, homemade cakes.

A very handy go-to café in the Green. Good quality ingredients, whether cooked breakfast, club sandwich, burger, halloumi etc.

Had a fabulous sandwich from here Great staff and great quick service will definitely return. Support local businesses in Barnards green!

If you ever travel to the Malvern Hills, why not take a morning off walking to browse the charity shops of St Barnards Green just outside of Great Malvern and enjoy the treats served in "Cafe in the Green". We were greeted by the friendly owner who served us with a lovely cup of coffee and cake (with cream), at a competitive price. The cafe looked good for both breakfast and lunch, something we will try another time.

We were visiting the area and felt hungry around 11.30am so decided to try this cafe for the first time. Very pleasant interior with a relaxing feel and friendly attentive staff.We ordered cappuccino and sandwiches which were served very decoratively on an oblong plate with a generous serving of salad and coleslaw.Egg & cress on one and farmhouse ham on the other,with a side of french fries.The menu also offers cooked breakfasts,hamburgers,jacket potatoes,soup and a selection of homemade cakes.The Specials board had some tempting offers as well.The sandwiches were tasty and well filled and the cappuccino was good as well.....though for £2.25 the regular cup was a little bit small!....just my opinion! There is a comfortable sofa at the front of the cafe as well as outside seating.All in all it was a nice relaxing experience.Look forward to returning.

It's about time I wrote a review for what is certainly my favourite place for a coffee in Malvern! I've been coming here for months now with friends, usually for a coffee and late breakfast, sometimes for coffee, cake and a good natter. We're always guaranteed a friendly welcome from Patrick, and some great food. I'm partial to the scrambled eggs on toast, but also love the toasties and everything else I've managed to try! I hesitate to recommend the brownies, for fear that they get so popular that there aren't any when I go in one day.... but they are gorgeous!! The cafe is child friendly, with seats, toys and plenty to eat, including options for my coeliac son. There are things to read for those who want to spend time relaxing - newspapers and a bookshelf. Even on busy days the wait for food isn't long at all, and it's always worth it. If you haven't already been in for a visit, then you should do soon!

Barnard's Green appears to be a 'happening' area in Malvern; this smart and relaxed café being one of the attractions. The café is very clean, the decor is tasteful and it looks inviting from the outside. The café is not big, but they were quick to put a couple of tables together for us on arrival, so we were comfortable as a group of 5 adults. There seemed to be a good mix of people in on 06/05/16, which suggests the café is popular and we'll supported locally. Four of us are not from Malvern, so this was our first visit.We went for a late breakfast cum brunch, after a tour of the Morgan Factory. Four traditional full English breakfasts and one poached eggs on toast, plus teas and coffees came to just under £30. The quality of the food, the ingredients and cooking is very high and we all agreed it tasted superb. My poached eggs were cooked to perfection, with bright orange and proud yolks, which suggests the eggs are fresh. The beverages were also good, and we are particular about our tea and coffee. To a person we agreed this café is good value for money, given everything was freshly prepared and we will be happy to visit again in the future. We will also be happy to sample the other food on the menu, which is interesting and varied.Service was responsive, welcoming and efficient. I didn't use the bathroom, but my friends said the facilities are excellent. There is short - term parking just outside the group of shops, so this is more than enough for meeting friends and having time to chat and catch up. This charming and independent café is highly commended by us and we would urge people, whether local or visiting, to support this delightful place, rather than the bland corporates.

Really friendly local cafe. The owner is often there and always super friendly. The coffee is pretty good and you get a lot of tea for your money. Unfortunately the cake often leaves much to be desired... and I'm usually around mid morning. Odd slices of different cake and it all looked a bit past its best. A real shame. Still, a nice atmosphere and really handy spot.

A friendly welcome & tasty, reasonably priced food. I regularly have lunch here with friends and colleagues. Their food is freshly prepared to order. Thank you Patrick and team

Lovely little cafe that is always busy! The homemade cake is delicious and the staff are so polite - nothing is too much trouble.

This is a well run cafe offering breakfast at a reasonable price. The cake is a delight and all hot drink options are available. The service is personal and efficient. Recommended for a snack at any time of the day.

We were looking for somewhere to have what we call a proper coffee. From the outside we couldn't be sure whether we would find it here, but we did. We ordered two Machiatos which we excellent and came with a glass of cold water each, without asking. We were very impressed and will definitely go there for coffee when we visit the area again.

We met friends here for a light lunch - and we had a very relaxed hour with good service, good coffee and very nice sandwiches - all served with fresh salad and crisps. My only small complaint would be that my sandwich filling (coronation chicken) was over salted - but otherwise delicious with plenty of very good quality chicken. Sadly we didn't have room for cake but it looked excellent.

Poached eggs dramatically undercooked. When you order two meals together you would expect to get them together not ten minutes apart. No napkins offered. Left with egg all over my hands. Two young girls left in charge. ..polite enough but need direction. Won't be back in a while.

Dropped by for coffee good service. Coffee ok. Seemed to do a lot of trade for locals with breakfast which I didn't have

We found strangely few tearooms and cafes in the area, so we were pleased to drop in for a cup of coffee and a teacake, which were fine. They were served with good grace in spite of the fact - which we hadn't realised - that we'd turned up just five minutes before closing time. Once we appreciated this, we felt a little bit guilty and made sure we left without further delay - leaving a bag with camera etc behind! Unfortunately we live a hundred miles away which meant I couldn't pop back and reclaim them - but the owner was happy to post them back to us and we were of course hugely grateful. So in summary - this is an excellent little café with exceptional standards of customer service.

Stopped in for lunch. Wonderful atmosphere, clean and polite staff. Had a ham and cheese toasted sandwich which was lovely. Would recommend it. My little boy of 9 months loved waving and smiling at everyone he saw. Very welcoming

The hot food was brilliant and served quickly considering it was all fresh. The cake was also excellent. All staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Would definitely come back again!

Situated in the busy shopping area of Barnard's Green, Malvern this family owned café is a restful oasis. It has that lovely feeling that comes when food is home made and apparently they primarily sue local ingredients Open for breakfast and lunch but not on Sundays. A great place for a morning or afternoon cup of coffee or tea and cake. We were away from home when we dropped in and having trouble connecting with someone we were meant to be meeting. The staff member went 'above and beyond' to help us find what we needed on the internet (Thanks)

We have visited this lovely family run cafe several times and it never fails to impress! The homemade cakes are delicious! The meals are all home cooked and there's always a great choice. So refreshing to find such a gem in a world full of chain cafés!

We ordered 2 ham and salad sandwiches to take away but there was no salad in either of the sandwiches. £3 for a simple sandwich is also quite steep - two slices of buttered bread and a slither of ham, really?! Won't be going back there again.

I visited with a work colleague the other day and had a beautiful freshly made sandwich. The salad it was served with was delicious and everything was very fresh. Very helpful and obliging staff.
