Cheltenham Art Gallery & Museum Cafe in Cheltenham

We popped in here before going around the gallery and were very pleased by the quality of the coffee and the range of cakes/pastries available, including some unusual favours to add to the interest. Some other light-bites were available. Service was friendly and helpful.

I’m never disappointed when I have coffee and cake here. Food is always fresh and coffee is excellent. The lunch specials are well priced and very good quality - thoroughly recommended. Cafe can get chilly in Winter when the glass sliding doors open and let in a blast of cold air!

After visiting the museum, or taking a break during your visit, you can relax over a good cup of coffee (or hot chocolate) and sample the large selection of cakes. There is limited seating on the ground floor but a much larger area on the first floor and having placed your order the staff willingly bring your order to your table.

Excellent food, friendly staff. The choice includes sandwiches and light snacks, and there are menu choices suitable for younger children.

Enjoyed a hot buffet lunch up stairs with a group. Very tasty! Good selection of sides on offer and also desserts

Had lunch, I had a Chinese themed pastry which was delicious, my daughter stuck to a more traditional cheese sandwich, lovely surroundings pleasant ambience. Pot of Earl Grey for £2.00, savoury pastry £2.95, whole thing for both came to just over £8.00.

If I am meeting friends in Cheltenham I am always happy to lunch at the Museum. I have always found the staff to be very helpful and friendly and the food has never disappointed.

The museum featured quite a lot of furniture. Much of it local Art Deco. Interesting and familiar. Seeing a lovely chair or dresser seems easier to relate to than many more exotic museum exhibits. Takes about an hour to do. Nice cafe to finish off with.

The service is good and the coffee is nice too, but the coffee machine is the noisiest one I've ever heard and I am a bit deaf! I don't know why they can't put them in the kitchen and bring the drinks out from there. It's better upstairs, but isn't always open. I went to a funeral 'tea / wake' there and the tea time buffet was excellent. It was upstairs and would be ideal for tea parties.

ごちゃごちゃしてはいるものの、ミュージアム内のカフェとだけあって清潔感のある明るいお店。コーヒーはそこそこ美味しくいただ けるし、軽食程度のものや甘いものもスペースの割りにそろっているカフェ。若干サービスに時間がかかるのがネガな点である。

Great for simple snacks and good tea and coffee. Excellent service; very quick and served with a smile. Good prices

Origineel museum vol leuke vondsten: oude tiara's, marionetten, reclameborden, arts and crafts meubelen. De moeite waard!

This is a special place for my little grand-daughters and me! We've been going since the youngest one was a toddler. We enter to big smiles and welcomes from staff and the girls take over from there, they know the drill - lift, 2nd floor, check out their favourite exhibits - the glittering tiaras are a must! Then through to the children's corner to try out the dress ups, play the puzzles and colour in. After a good hour to 2 hours of this, its a wander down to the café - always via Wilson's exhibits to make sure the seagull is still there and the 'weird' clothes. Café staff are brilliant and very eager to please. Same lunch order every time - delicious 'real' ham sandwiches and buckets of chips!! Another high score for this Grandma!! Money spent? Very little!

Good value, delicious food. But too small - a pity they didn't put it at the back of the buildnig with more opportunity for outside space. The upstairs area with the spiral staircase is just plain daft!

Cheltenham is a very beautifull spa town. i am there three weeks per year. Holidays. i stay at the Cheltenham Park Hotel (hotels collection) near the Lilly Brooke Golf club. good athmosphere and spa Decleor. i love the museums of this town and the beautifull Promenade avenue.

I've now visited three times, the food is lovely, the sweet corn fritters are delicious and the cakes yummy. BUT although most of the staff are pleasant there feels like there is a lack of management or perhaps planning, you're never quite sure how to order/where to stand/who is taking the orders etc. I really don't mind a relaxed less rushed approach, but I can imagine at busy periods it's frustrating for customers who have time restraints. This cafe should be packed, it's a lovely space, a good location and NOT a boring chain. Do go as everything is really tasty, but perhaps not when you're in a rush...

Had an enjoyable coffee and cake here. Friendly staff, clean and inviting. Good cake! Papers too, well worth popping in for a break. Noticd lunch menu looked good and will try it next time!

We popped in to check out the refurbished Gallery over the Christmas break, we decided to grab some lunch first in the cafe!It was about 2.30pm and about half of the tables had people seated at them, firstly we had to clear the cutlery off a table in order to sit down, the empty tables all had dirty plates and leftovers on them so we had to actually go up to the kitchen to clear the table!We sat down, couldn't find a menu but after some looking on other tables we found a dirty, stained piece of paper with the menu printed on it. After a quick read we decided and one of my party went up to queue to order. There were about four people in the queue, the first had her order taken but then the girl behind the till went into the kitchen, we saw her then taking food to a table, then she disappeared back in the kitchen only to then come out and go upstairs with a cloth to clear tables?! During this time no one was taking orders so my friend was just in a completely stationary queue. There was a girl cleaning cutlery just behind the till but firmly kept her back to the rest of the room. Everyone in the queue was getting irate, the woman at the front said she had been stood there 10 minutes (when we arrived she was in the queue!). We decided to leave the shambles of a 'cafe', god knows how long we would have wasted, by the looks of it the food was taking just as long as the queue to order!AVOID this place at all costs, please please go to any other cafe near by, this place needs to get sorted out as it's a shambles.The gallery itself is OK but nothing special.
