Cafe Monde in Winchester - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Stopped midafternoon for a late lunch sandwich and cup of tea. The sandwich/wrap were both very good, the service was very friendly and efficient and I have to say the prices were very reasonable compared to the place next door!

Great value for money, quick service and the staff were friendly and efficient. Was our choice every day when we stayed in Winchester for a few days

Had lovely brunch here - poached eggs cooked perfectly and very well presented. Staff welcoming. Would highly recommend.

Didn't book, but were very lucky to get a table inside this busy town centre cafe. Varied menu, even for breakfast and good service Well worth a visit

What a breakfast and breakfast omelette. Also great options to make gluten free and swap items out. Friendly service would go again.

Popular cafe who do an excellent cooked breakfast.Visited before going to the Christmas market and we were greeted by friendly staff. If you are not hungry beware as the large breakfast will fill you up. We'll worth a visit.

Possibly the best cooked breakfast I have ever had in my life and I have had a few. Excellent service, excellent food, excellent atmosphere. Definitely coming back.

I live up north, but first visited Cafe Monde when they had one in Salisbury too, some years ago, then discovered them also in Winchester. A busy spot, but they'll try to fit you in without rushing people from their tables. Good traditional cafe with a modern outlook, staff go in on their day off, manager is easygoing but makes sure things are right, comfortable and relaxed. Friends, Lovers, Ex's, Business Associates - all ask 'What was that Cafe in Winchester, I'm down there in a week or two...

I live in Winchester but not been here for a while. Lovely lunch and coffee and also a slice of some of the best carrot cake 🥕

Only please we could find that did a fry up! Was really lovely and the portion (all day breakfast) was really big. Lots of stairs so not really any good for mobility issues unless you can get a seat outside. Would definitely visit again.

I love this little cafe. It’s the place I head to when I visit Winchester. I’ve been here a million times. I had poached eggs and coffee yesterday. Beautiful!!

Stopped for breakfast, ordered two coffees and two poached eggs with bacon on the side. The bacon cost 1.75 extra. The smallest piece of bacon arrived. The poached eggs were hard over cooked bullets, bread was cheap supermarket brand and the coffee was dreadful. How one can stuff up Poached eggs is beyond me and the bacon was a laugh. Walk on, heaps of better places.

This cafe is in a good location, just off the high street on the way to the cathedral. The staff were all helpful and friendly. We were meeting a couple of friends for breakfast one Saturday. It was a sunny morning but there was too much of a cold wind to sit outside, so we were shown to the upstairs seating area. We found it rather basic. There were only two tables that would accommodate the four of us: one was right by the staircase and the other a sort of bay around a round table, which we opted for. Unfortunately it was a bit of a struggle to get all our plates of food on this table, but we managed. Sadly the breakfasts didn’t score many points: the fried eggs had runny whites, the bacon was undercooked, the tomatoes tasted quite weird, the sausages seemed to be of a cheap variety, as was the bread. The baked beans and mushrooms were fine. This was what spoiled it for us.

Good food, fantastic staff wonderful start to the day. Thank you so much for the friendly atmosphere and brilliant food

Great! Been eating here for 20 years and the Breakfast Omelette is to die for. The location is great being situated between the main drag of Winchester and the cathedral. Late morning when the sun peaks into view is a must. Can't wait to visit Winchester and Cafe Monde soon.

Spot on English breakfast. Made me realize how much I miss home. Pulled us in from the cold and sat us upstairs in the warmth with great table service. Very attentive to the family and our needs.

Super friendly staff and lovely food and coffee with friends! Our usual spot at least once a fortnight. Superb xx

I hadn’t been in for a while due to not going into town so much, there is such a wide range of cafes now but I decided to go to my trusted old favourite! It did not disappoint! Went in on my own and was...

Had the £8 cooked breakfast , wasn’t great wasn’t terrible , a bit stingy with the bacon , sausage wasn’t great either and toast was hardly toasted

My husband and I visited this morning and got two cooked breakfasts and coffees. The breakfast was incredible and beautifully presented. The cafe has a lovely feel and the guy at the front was very welcoming. The sign about staff morale made me giggle too....

On a very dreary, rainy day in December I received the warmest of welcomes at this wonderful establishment. I had 2 perfect cappuccino’s and a toasted tea cake. The service was excellent. The cappuccino ‘s were hot and strong. The tea cake was perfectly toasted!...

Having just moved to Winchester, and passionate foodies, we are looking forward to sampling this great city’s culinary delights. Having visited prior to lockdown, we knew Winchester was the place for us to relocate. Amazing countryside, brilliant and vibrant city life. We stumbled across this...

Lovely full english and coffee sat outside not far from the Cathedral. Service was quick and efficient despite being fairly busy and a bowl of water was brought out for our dog before any orders were taken which was a nice touch. Not cheap but...

We visit cafe on a regular basis, perhaps once a month. Normally at lunchtime (11.30 - 12.00) always manage to get a table fairly quickly and the service from the staff is very efficient.

I have been coming to Cafe Monde for about 4 years now and it’s become a favourite for my boyfriend and I. We love our monthly lunch dates here! Quirky interior, friendly staff and amazing food for any occasion. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our visit to this café sitting on the outside terrace on a warm day. It was table service, they took cash, the coffee was good quality and the service friendly and efficient.

Tucked just off the main shopping street with views of the cathedral this sheltered café has both inside and outside seating. It is table service. Nice coffee and good food freshly prepared.

The food eventually was lovely, good quality. Initially we had to wait outside for 15 minutes for a table inside. Ordered full breakfast, tea and juice. Slightly long wait, but ok. Breakfast arrived and my wife had a broken solid fried egg so we called...

We were staying in Winchester and had decided not to pay a shed load of money for a standard hotel breakfast. So we set off at 08.30 to find somewhere serving breakfast of which there were several. Fortunately we choose to walk into Cafe Monde...

There are so many Good cafes in Winchester now, but cafemonde never fails to be my go to! This cafe stands the test of time and is consistently excellent. You won’t find such great value and service anywhere else! This place is quirky and has...

Have eaten here for the last 20 years. Great service and great food especially my go to Breakfast Omlette

Regular to this cafe for more years than we can remember.Always remember our order but still have the best coffee , bacon sandwich and bowl of porridge in town.Prices good service great happy and cheerful .What more could you want.

really tasty, went here for brunch with my friends and got the pancakes and they were so nice! Super affordable and really friendly staff:)

Four of us had lunch sitting outside. Good choice of food and drinks, we all had different food and found each dish very good and at a very reasonable price, unlike some other Winchester establishments. Service helpful and amenable. Could become a favourite!

Lovely staff who helped us find a table inside as it was raining and no under cover outside tables left. My partner had the full English and my daughter and I had the breakfast omelette. All of it was great, really tasty good quality ingredients...

Having read the good reviews we decided to go for breakfast. Were staying at Travelodge nearby. Not good. Ice cold plates resulting in beans and eggs served stone cold. Toast that looked like it had been nowhere near the toaster. When questioned answer was we...

Me and my friends went for some lunch and we had a great experience. The food was amazing and the staff were super nice. Would definitely go again and recommend this place to anyone.

We have stopped off for lunch here before when visiting Winchester. It was already busy upstairs, despite being only 11.30, so we sat on stools in the window. I t was a bit chilly to sit outside. They have a slightly more imaginative sandwich and...

We had just parked at the nearest park & ride, walked to the town center (because there were no buses operating that day) and was looking for somewhere to have breakfast. We found this place, where there were some empty tables upstairs. We ordered just...

Looks compact (and it is but not cramped). Good food, lovely coffee, fast and delightful service. We stopped for a snack as lunch service was tailing off but were welcomed. Scones and toasted tea cakes to be recommended. Just handy if you are visiting the...

Superb cafe experience... in these covid times, some cafes appear to struggle with table service but no such issue here... the young lady looking after the outside tables was efficient, friendly, ever present but not invading space... it was a real pleasure stopping here.... and...

Sat initially at the Slug & Lettuce as no tables available at either of the cafes opposite. No one approached us for over 15 minutes in which time thankfully a table came available at Monde Service was excellent. Very pleasant friendly lad served us. Hot...

Outside seating that was perfect for us as we had our dog. Very friendly and the food was spot on. Great selection of food which was served fast, hot and with a smile.

Had breakfast here on Oct 7 and the Coffee and Food was hot and tasty even though it was a chilly morning. But even hotter - and tastier - was the lovely waitress who served us with a smile :)) Thank you for making my...

We ran in here partly to get out of the rain. We were given a upstairs table. There are only 4 tables at the moment, due to the Covid restrictions and we were asked to wait a couple of minutes whilst it was cleaned which...

We sat upstairs in Cafe Monde and had a decent quality and cheap lunch. Service was good and friendly. They seemed to be quite accommodating when other local cafes were full.

Always chose to have brunch here when in Winchester because it always delivers. Choosing to sit outside we watched the world go by this morning as we ate our cooked breakfast (me) and scrambled eggs with salmon (the boss). Portions are reasonable but it's about the quality and presentation of the food which is always excellent whenever we eat here.

Cute, dog friendly, olde worlde style. Tea & Panini lunch. Very busy and good service. Dog given water on arrival. Very enjoyable.

Great baguette served with fresh salad and coffee. Really friendly and attentive waitress. Top notch.

A day trip To Winchester and we visited Cafemonde for a latte and bite to eat. Located up a side street away from the busy Main Street but not secluded enough to feel isolated. We sat outside as we had our small Shih Tzu. Pleasantly surprised alwhen given a menu, healthy and not expensive at all. We chose the chicken club baguette and the salmon fish cake. Both were lovely. The side salad was cold and fresh, the dressing a delight and the sweet chilli sauce pot just right. The latte was perfect, great temperature and a lovely taste. The staff were outstanding and offered water for our dog. We will definitely come back when we return to Winchester, these little gems are hard to find.

Service was fine but a little perfunctory. Breakfast was adequate but I've had much better for the same price. For example carluccios which was friendly and excellent quality and service. Coffee was good. We benefitted from 50% discount which softened the blow. Pret a manger and wagamamma were both tasty and really enjoyable

We arrived just as they were getting ready to open. Very friendly staff, who made us very welcome. We had the Bikers' break and the pancakes with crispy bacon. Very quick service and delicious food.

First time back after lockdown at Cafe Monde. Yeh! Wonderful people, great service, delicious food! One of our pleasures in life. Thanks guys!

Cafe Monde is our number 1 place to eat when were shopping in Winchester, we always get a warm receprtion from the staff, i had the crock madame and coffee, delicious, great quirky building, highly recommended

Neat little innermost sanctum for friends or private meetings. The coffee’s fab and cakes choice varied and delicious. Table service and nice menu for light lunches

Call in here for brunch or an afternoon coffee nearly everyday during our visits to Winchester. Staff always friendly, the guy behind the counter especially so. Can get very busy at peak times but the service is always very quick. Great range of well prepared and tasty food and drinks. Highly recommended.

Great little cafe with a varied menu for breakfast and lunch. Breakfast was delicious, as was the panini for lunch.... Has a downstairs and upstairs. Small and quirk and reasonably priced. Not very warm upstairs as had windows open in kitchen but it is January after all. Service is quick too... Can recommend over trendy cafes.

Located in the square about 100 metres from Winchester cathedral is Cafemonde. The ground floor has both inside and outside seating, further seating is located upstairs and the toilets are located after a hike to the second floor.Staff are very friendly and engaging. Large menu, broad base options from a full English to gluten free. Finally, the pricing is very good. We will be back!!!

I don't think I have ever been into a cafe and had a member of the team open the door and give one of the friendlies welcome' s ever and it was done every time the door opened. I had been shopping and realised not having to move as th give table service. Good to see filters coffee as an option and fabulous tea cake with the lashings of great butter. Loved the blend of the place feeling comfortable and relaxed with plain China and great service. I will be going back next time I am in Winchester. It's based down the little alleyway near the clock.

Excellent value. Loads of options for lunch for £6-7. Anything can be made Gluten free except for their sausages. Several vegetarian options too including the excellent falafel ciabatta. Tables are packed in so maybe not the best choice if you want a private conversation.

We took the children here after they had been ice skating on the Cathedral Ice Rink. Friendly helpful staff with excellent hot chocolate topped with whipped cream - the children really enjoyed it!

Very friendly and welcoming. Excellent service. Only had hot drinks but the food did look good. Would definitely visit again

We’re visiting for the Christmas Fayre wanting lunch but city centre very busy.Came across this extremely friendly cafe. Not noticed it before, tucked in between other food outlets. Staff very friendly, efficient and attentive. Like everywhere that day it was busy, but this did not distract the staff, who maintained a friendly efficient service. Good choice for lunch; food and drink excellent. Busy cheerful atmosphere. Its well worth remembering for a lunch stop.

This cafe is new to us and although we were only in for drinks the menu looked good with something for everyone. Small location. Busy. Efficient, friendly service. Pay downstairs on leaving. Will return when next in Winchester.

Very good value... Soup and a sandwich for £7! I had tomato and basil but pea and mint was also on offer together with any sandwich from their selection. Excellent value, especially for Winchester. Lots more available on the menu. It's a tiny place but the service is prompt and the staff are friendly

Very good all day breakfast. Owner and staff work very hard to provide good quality food and excellent service,all with a smile!

We just happened to be walking past this little tea room when we saw some had ordered some hot chocolates that looked amazing. We decided to try them out and we are so glad we did because they were beautiful. Lots of whipped cream and marshmallows, not too rich the chocolate wasnt but absolutely lovely to drink, will definitely be returning.

We were searching for a glutenfree breakfast and was about to give up, luckily we found it here! Lovely service, delicious food.

This is my go to cafe in Winchester. It's seen off a number of establishments by offering sensibly priced food in nice surroundings. Staff are friendly and seem to be happy in their work. The coffee (particularly the espresso is excellent) while the food (for me always the omelette) is well presented, hot and tasty.

I visited on a sunny day and everyone was sitting outside. It was very busy and tables were close together but spacious enough for meals. At times staff were moving single diners to accommodate newcoming groups but no one seemed to mind. I had a nice salad and soft drink. The toilet (unisex) was downstairs although there was a dining room upstairs which I didn't see. Staff stood by the door and were serving and being alert most of the time but it was rather uneven service - I had to wait a long time before I got my bill. However overall staff were friendly, relaxed and happy to help when they noticed I needed something. Would recommend.

I was very pleased to have chosen this place to have a bite to eat, the staff were all very friendly and the food was amazing, especially the English breakfast. Loved the decor too, especially the retro radios. Will definitely be visiting again.

What a delight to find this place!

We dived in to this cafe for a quick pit stop. Lovely coffee and delicious muffin. The service was first class and we are glad we opted for this cafe out of what seems to be hundreds in Winchester!

Honestly just my fave- the milkshakes are Peng and food so yum. Highly recommend. Yes it's a bit of money but it's Winchester what do You expect ahaha

Had a breakfast omelette which was very nice and very filling. My friend had a baked potato which also was very nice although beware any filling is charged extra. The music was to loud for me. The waiter was very nice and service was quick.

This cafe is the best, the food is amazing the service is exceptional. All for a decent prices for paired with idyllic scenery. I cannot rate this enough. Definitely worth a visit when you’re in Winchester.

We sat upstairs and watched the street. Great breakfast menu from healthy to unhealthy! The Full English is perfect. Friendly personal service. Great location in Winchester and close to shopping and history. We would certainly go back when we return to Winchester.

Despite being a relatively small place they have a grand menu and service to go with it.

Were recommended to have a light bite for lunch here when we had coffee in another well known spot.

Went in with a friend needed a proper breakfast said to my mate the last time I ate here the breakfast was like warm! Guess what same again it came out quickly so the bacon was pre cooked on the side no doubt the plate was cold the bacon was not even warm no heat in the food I’m afraid so I asked them to reheat it . To be honest it was hardly better the second time. £12 coffee and breakfast terribly over priced in my opinion. Last time I go there place is not clean either desperately needs revamping. Sorry cafe monde not cutting it with me . Best breakfast in town is Greens wine bar. Red hot plate fresh cooked every time £10 with a hot pot of tea

Was visiting Winchester on a cold Saturday and needed somewhere to eat. Just off the cathedral square are several small eateries and Cafemonde seemed to be doing a good trade judging by the number tables occupied outside.

innit soo gud i luv it sooo much m8 this is very tasty yummmmmmmmy oooooh yhhh lololollol u got da vic royale !!! xxxxxxxxxx

Stopped in Winchester on the way to Southampton looking for a gluten free lunch. Thought I was going to have to get a takeaway sandwich from M&S; but luckily stumbled across this place. Great options for coeliacs. Gluten free sandwiches, omelettes, jacket potatoes and salads. I ordered a delicious gluten free chicken and avocado sandwich. They even made me a fresh salad dressing because their usual dressing had gluten in! Amazing service and lovely atmosphere.

Went to Cafemonde for lunch for the first time this January. It's a small cafe and is well decorated and laid out. The menu was full of appealing choices for lunch. We chose a spicy soup which was really tasty and had an avocado and chicken based sandwich as well. The avocado was perfectly ripe,with real chicken (not pre-formed meat!) and corn chips and salad on the side. Portions are a good size and the prices are all good value. All the staff are friendly and attentive.

Lovely food and good price. Staff very friendly although the young waiter spilled the coffee in the saucer and did nothing to rectify it until I insisted. Just needs a bit of training...

Excellent food, excellent service, excellent coffee. Been going to this cafe for years. It’s independent and always good. Never let us down.

A great little cafe. Staff are friendly and fun, food is plentiful and varied. Would definitely come here again!

Having been here previously on visits to Winchester, thought we would have breakfast there before the Christmas market. I have to say, it was probably the best breakfast I have had out. The all day breakfast was generously sized and of superb quality. Everything was cooked and presented excellently, and there was nothing I could fault with it. My wife enjoyed her breakfast omelette too. Will definitely return for breakfast soon! Service was excellent as well.

Had breakfast in this lovely cafe 2 mornings in a row! Highlights included perfectly runny poached eggs and the breakfast ciabatta. The tables are quite tightly packed in so not one to visit with lots of shopping bags! Will definitely go back

We’ve been coming for years and it’s always been the best in winchester. Great early bird prices and smooth coffee. We have a dog now and usually sit outside. Really friendly staff A*

Visited for the first time a few weeks ago and had a very good breakfast in a quirky location. Decided to return a week later on a Saturday morning, what a mistake that was the breakfast arrived cold with a missing sausage on each breakfast, advised the waiter who instead of taking our breakfast away, came back with two sausages 5 minutes later. To make matters worse the egg was not cooked properly. When we went to pay and mentioned it to the cashier about it being cold and not cooked properly,they just shrugged their shoulders.

Do not be put off by the apparently small frontage of this very nice cafe. As well as the external tables and chairs their is a 'snug' upstairs and a slightly larger cellar area with a surprising amount of seating. The service is alway very courteous, friendly and prompt and there is a great range of coffees, teas and food for all palletes and tastes. Centrally located for all the shops, museums and visitor attractions, highly recommended.

I popped in one morning recently to have a light breakfast and was greeted with a warm welcome. The food and coffee was great served by a very helpful member of staff.

Solía ​​visitar el Café Monde con frecuencia cuando vivía en Winchester para el brunch, generalmente para salmón ahumado y huevos revueltos con una taza de té. La decoración es cómoda, divertida y extravagante, y el edificio es un clásico para Winchester: está torcido y es encantador con asientos en el exterior.

Los batidos y jugos ya están embotellados y los sándwiches también se preparan en la nevera. No te da sentido de nada recién hecho.

Came to this Cafe for some early morning breakfast for my stay in Winchester. Staff were very friendly and made good food. They had plenty of space upstairs and downstairs and had a good variety of food on the menu.

Two or three of my old classmates and I meet up every month or so for a catch up, and this month we chose Winchester. Having viewed a few of the many sights we picked the conveniently located Cafemonde near the cathedral for some afternoon refreshments. Two of my friends had visited it before as they live much nearer to the city than me. Being a nice afternoon we spent half an hour or so at the front.

We stopped for lunch at Cafemonde after visiting the Cathedral and St. Swithun's and found it to be pleasant but unmemorable. The service was adequate as was the lunch.

I come here often either with friends or on my own. The service is always lovely and friendly. And the food is always lovely. Good prices and good portions. Highly recommend a London Fog to drink

I found the breakfast to be far too expensive for the quality. Terribly greasy, and tasteless. Very disappointed, will never visit again.
