Cafe in the Park in Basingstoke and Deane

Very pleasant. My first visit here, must be lovely in the warmer months.

Limited hours but very convenient. Didn't get to try food as it was closed when we got there. Sorry

Lovely and welcoming place. Food is delicious. Definitely will visit again.

Friendly team with nice coffee and homemade cakes

Great place to have a bacon roll and a coffee on a Sunday morning. My dog loves the sausages.

Fantastic knowledge about allergies and exceptionally polite and even when something got left out of order couldnt correct it fast enough...

Good coffee, great bacon sandwich and nice place to walk the dog

We visited for Sunday afternoon for lunch. Friendly efficient staff, very quick service, good sized portions and clean.

Great cafe, family-friendly, with excellent food and drinks! Just wish it was open more days/hours! :-)

Very sweet community cafe with very friendly and approachable staff. Prices are good and affordable and quality is fairly decent, especially like the coffee rewards stamp card. Lovely place for a little bite to eat or to grab a take away coffee when going on a walk. Could do with a few more indoor tables for busier periods and to make better use of the space. Would definitely recommend as a little local spot.

Good coffee, great price and tasty cakes

Lovely food, atmosphere, and setting. Highly recommended.

Helpful and polite team, a good experience with excellent coffee and cakes.

Lovely little place, well priced and smooth coffee, really enjoyed it.

Good, great views from the café. Staff friendly. A dog friendly outdoors

Stopped to have a quick bacon bap and hot chocolate before walking the dog. Very quick service and very tasty but the hot chocolate could have been warmer.

Walked to the co-op and decided to pop in here on the way back home. Had a lovely sausage and egg bap and pot of tea. Loads of families were coming in to get ice lollies.

Love having a local cafe but it isn’t somewhere I’d think to go. I hope they improve on their coffee and the acoustics of the place. It was hard to hear each other and gets pretty noisy. If you have ear problems like me, I’d sit outside. I do go there monthly to help the centre but think it needs improvement.

Lovely little cafe with lovely view, wish it worked longer as it shuts at 2pm

Friendly service with a relaxed atmosphere. We had breakfast buns here before going for a walk, and sat outside.

Lovely afternoon tea supporting Labrador Lifeline and a great park area there to walk the dog

Stopped off here on the way to @Frimley Hall & Spa for an overnight stop with family. Would definitely recommend the food and coffee. Staff were very accommodating and nothing to much a bother.

A wonderful cafe, serving lovely cakes and extremely friendly. A great place to stop for a cuppa and enjoy the view.

Good bacon sandwich on a weekend.

Fantastic service and amazing staff incredibly helpful and the food wow for the money the kids box meal was well worth the money

Friendly, reasonably priced and fab place. We live locally so visit regularly

Great hidden gem, good food and drinks worth a visit by any coffee lover

Great place, simple food and drinks but perfect for a break when out walking

Sincerely and without saying more. The best coffee in Basingtoke. I am a woman who likes my coffee black, black and unsweetened and this beautiful coffee shop is where they offer the best coffee to their customers. The aroma, the taste, the bitterness of the coffee makes me feel like I am with my own family in my home country. Thank you for offering this fantastic coffee.😘😘😘😘

We came here with the children during our visit to the Beggarwood park. We could have sat down outside but decided to eat inside. Tables were nicely spaced out, and had been sanitised. They had a really good selection of coffees and cakes, decently priced. I did not want something sweet so I had a toasty, however sausage rolls, panini and sandwiches were available. The staff was ever so lovely and helpful! They were all wearing a mask. We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely come again soon.

Fantastic park cafe food is always so fresh and they have a such a large drink and good selection, staff are always great and friendly, I highly recommend there coffee and slices of cake, great time to relax after a dog walk and they will provide you with dog bowls and dog treats

Great food. Great staff. Lovely view.

Friendliness of staff is top notch.coffee is great in a lovely environment in the park.Food quality tasty and substantial. The cakes are yummy.

Lovely place... really look forward to having those cakes again!

Great place to get a breakfast bap and a coffee and enjoy the park

This Cafe is in a perfect location looking over Beggarwood Park. It has toys for children, water bowl for the dogs, clean loos and plenty of seats. We stopped for what we thought was a quick lunch but unfortunately it took nearly an hour to make a couple of Paninies and a Sandwich as I think they may have forgotten about us and the table next to us. The food was very nice, though and very reasonably priced.

Great lunch, friendly staff and good dog treats for the pup. :)

Lovely coffee and toasted panini

Fabulous little cafe lots of green outside and lots of toys for children

Lovely spot to enjoy a light bite and a drink. The staff are always kind and friendly. It would be great if the patio out the back were extended and had a path leading to it; maybe one day!

Love it, perfect for children too.

Lovely community hub set up, great for families with young children with toys and accessible facilities.

Although the service is sometimes slow, it's worth it... The coffee is excellent and so is the food. Volunteer staff are polite and helpful. Can't recommend it enough.

I come here quite often to meet friends for lunch or coffee. It’s a great little place with lots of community activities going on too. Always spotlessly clean and the staff are always very friendly. The coffee is very good and the food is simple but tasty and good value.

Good community cafe. Nice environment, pretty views and good coffee and cakes.

The cafe is spacious with a good area for some general food, nothing big (not a big plate of food). Coffee, tea, chocolate and nicely prepared. There is also a play area, not large but nice with some toys for under 4s (though the older kids from my partner play here for a bit and they are 7 and 10). With the lovely walk area and kids play park just a short amble, it's a great place to drop onto.

Well a long walk was worth it to have a lovely bacon roll in the sun outside the cafe. Lots of walkers with doggies to watch and a lovely view. The ladies working, giving up their Sunday, we're great. The cakes on display looked pretty delicious too...

Perfect pit stop for us and our toddler on M3 going down to Dorset instead of services. Good coffee, panini & cake, with lots of toys for little ones, with doors onto open parkland and a playground.

Fabulous quality cakes and cookies. Friendly caring staff.

I love this little coffee shop. It is so cosy, the staff is kind, lots of toys for kids. It feels like home.

Great view of the park, lots of families, dogs , runners and walkers enjoying themselves. An excellent community amenity.

Really cute café in the park, nice coffee and bites to eat. Lovely outdoor and indoor seating with tables/chairs and deck chairs! Volunteer run that do a great job, will be back for sure!

One of my favourite little cafés in Basingstoke! Very child friendly with lots of toys and activities for the little ones. A nice little menu with hot and cold food - and cake! Love coming here with a friend, then move on to the lovely playground nearby.

It’s so lovely here. Very much a community feel. Ideal on a nice day to sit out with a coffee overlooking the park (if you’re lucky enough to get a seat!) Bacon bap is a must 👌🏻 Only wish opening hours were longer, but it’s ran by volunteers and very appreciative that we have it all ☺️

I went for a craft session with friends. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Had lunch. Panini was gorgeous with salad and crisps . Latte goid too. Will definitely come again.

Friendly staff. Lovely coffee and cakes Great indoor toys for young ones

This is a great cafe. We have been here quite a few times and the staff are delightful. The cafe is always clean and there are always lovely cakes. We did have a soup a few months ago that was unpalatable, but they took it back without a quibble and refunded us. Had a lovely cold drink today, sitting outside people watching. Highly commended

Great place if the Fire alarm panel is not having a fault. Lol

First time here and really enjoyed my coffee here

Slow service but nice coffee. Also a little smoked out as cooking bacon seemed to smoke out inside a lot. Maybe turning on the extractor fan!

A good little cafe within the Beggarwood Community Centre.

This cafe is located in a small community centre over looking the open fields to the south of Basingstoke. It really nice, small and friendly with a good choice of food and drink with very good chocolate cake. The staff were friendly and service was quick. I expect in the sunshine the views over the fields are nice!

Nice place. Lots of thought like blankets if you want to sit outside in the cold, dog bowls and biscuits and you can even get beer or wine.

Lovely friendly staff and good cake!

Friendly, cozy and decent bacon rolls and do a mean flat white.

Very nice little place, but, as a dog walker (and I think the majority of people who glide past are the same), I think a few more touches to entice such visitors in might increase the numbers. Such things as an awning or cover in the colder months ..?

Good fast service. Good coffee and cakes and lovely little play area for the little ones. All areas are nice and clean.

Great cafe. Friendly staff and a great choice of food and drink from this local resource.

On our way home from church and fancied breakfast so made an impromptu visit here for a bacon roll and a coffee. We were not disappointed - it was delicious. I also go on the first Wednesday of each month for the soup and bread and cheese, or a ploughman’s - it is fantastic food and very reasonably priced. Staff are wonderful and if you sit outside the view is fantastic.

Lovely location, friendly staff and great coffee. Could do with more food choices but otherwise a great place to visit.

Great community centre with a fantastic cafe serving delicious drinks. The ice tea and milk shake options are worth trying. Also great views over the park and lots of toys to entertain the little ones. The people who work here are lovely and so thoughtful. Only criticism are the opening hours and I hope they can increase them.

Well worth a visit. Also a great venue for Pop up play village Basingstoke and Reading.

Have been every month since it started to the soup or ploughman’s lunch on the first Wednesday of each month. This is a really lovely place, safe for children and child friendly. Spotlessly clean and full of delicious home baked goodies. Friend,y staff. Lots of activities and events. Very good prices so no excuse it is too expensive. Well worth a visit to relax and enjoy the views from both inside and outside.

Beggarwood has final got it's own community centre! The bonus was to find out that it came with a cafe! This has been a long overdue need for the locals.The Cafe in the Park over looks the glorious view of our local park which also happens to be a place for conservation as well. You can sit outside savouring a drink, bacon rolls and cakes, enjoying the sunshine and watching your children play. There are activities for the children, so if the weather turns, you know you can keep them occupied whilst enjoying that much needed break. The gluten free cakes are amazing, my favourite being a chocolate brownie. They also do gluten free rolls and with plenty of bacon, make a welcome start to the day. Dogs are not allowed inside but they are welcome to the outside areas, with water being provided. There is a small car park for users only and a rack for bikes. At the weekend, the Cafe opens from 10am to 1pm. It does also open Wednesday to Friday with extended hours.

In this world of overpriced café chains it is always delightful to find a little place where one receives total courtesy and charm in service, excellent coffee, delicious bacon rolls (on Saturdays at least) and wonderful fresh cakes, all at excellent value for money (£6.50 for bacon, cake, coffee) and where one can sit inside or outdoors with one’s dog being willingly supplied with fresh water (I believe there are biscuit treats inside also). It is only limited by its size and restricted opening hours but otherwise, if you are walking in or visiting the area at the right times. I suggest you drop in. Today was my third visit: each one has been thoroughly enjoyable with the feeling of being treated as the only customer. Those working there can only be thoroughly complimented on what they offer.

Great cafe in this new park. Lots of walking routes, exercise equipment, maze & play area.

My first visit with my daughter and family to this lovely cafe situated in the Beggarwood Community Centre. We sat inside as it was hot outside. The staff were very friendly and helpful. As it is part of the Community Centre there are a number of toys about for little ones to make use of. The selection of food is not large but we had a very tasty home made vegetable soup. There are pastries and cakes available, which I believe are all home made. It is easy to get to and there are great views across the parkland.
