Chives in Wycombe

Very disappointed today as my sandwich was barely filled by a staff member completely untrained and unsupervised. Chives has been my to go to place until today but I am not prepared to pay £6.90 for a messy and barely filled baguette. I urge you to train your staff on how to make a sandwich before letting them serve your loyal clients otherwise you will lose us!!

Staff were friendly food was decent!

It's a hidden gem, a fantastic breakfast served by really friendly staff.

Great cafe with fantastic choice, quality of food

Can't even produce 2 coffees.. in reasonable time. Definitely slowest in Marlow. Shame.

Needed a slight diversion to get to the cafe but worth it.

My wife wanted to eat breakfast so we decided to go to Chives in Marlow. This was around 11:30 am 7th June 2024. My wife ordered jacket potatoes and I ordered vegetarian breakfast. The problem was with my vegetarian breakfast which was Halloumi, 2 Sunnyside Egg, Potato Patty, mushroom, peppers and 1 white bread roll. As I was enjoying my breakfast I noticed something that was not right with my vegetarian breakfast. So I took a photo, to see what it was. It was a very small piece of Bacon. The owner apologise and offer to refund the money or replace the order. What's shocking that the owner admitted that they used the same griddle for meat and vegetarian food. When ordering vegetarian, asked it to be fright on a separate pen. My wife love her jacket potatoes.

Many thanks to the team here especially Hannah this place is astonishing, great variety or choices and super friendly staff who go above and beyond best breakfast in Marlow, Cheers Chives

Great food and service thank you

I visited Chives with a friend who had been before. The staff were very friendly, the owner was very much involved and put his hand to anything as was required. An excellent way to run a business. The food was really good, plenty of choice with the option to assemble your own choice as well as ready made items if customers were in a hurry. Hot and cold items were available with wide choice. The eating area was light and welcoming everything was clean. The whole experience was a 5 star one.

Hello. The gentleman who assisted me yesterday afternoon truly deserves commendation.🏅 It was a first for me to be treated with such respect, and the coffee served was the best I've had this year. Unexpectedly, he went above and beyond by serving me even after closing time, which meant a great deal to me. Despite a challenging day, his service made my day and left me feeling inspired. It's reassuring to know there are still good and kind individuals in the world. Please consider giving this exceptional employee a raise. Unfortunately, I didn't catch his name, but he worked at 4 pm on January 31st.

Great place. Good food and friendly atmosphere

Super dog friendly. Amazing pancakes with bacon and maple syrup! Shame it's not open on Sundays

We popped over for lunch and the food here was very genuine and tasty. It didn't cost too much and the food was prepared on site and tasted fresh. I ordered a jacket potato with fillings and sausage roll. The staff here are friendly and helpful. There is plenty of parking outside the establishment, a good place to pop over for work lunch or for grabbing a quick bite

Nice presentation. Good variety. PC and coffee am ideal. Caterers turned retail. Parking for 12 in this out of town. Office park bit loud for meet ups.

Delicious coffee with sausage bap, excellent service very friendly and professional staff. The restaurant was very clean and tidy. There is free parking.

Great lunch spot. Chives has quickly become my favourite place to grab a lunch on the go.

Friendly staff, a great choice of ingredients and bread types.

Great place and food, highly recommend.

Pleasantly surprised with this eatery. Was originally put off from the outside of said establishment due to the name and the typography used to draw customers inside.

Fantastic cafe in the heart of globe park. Perfect for those working from home to meet up with co-workers, or just work among others for a few hours (many of the tables have power-points for just this purpose). Wonderful food, great coffee, friendly service, and always spotless.

Staff and Manager/Owner always have a great smile with a pleasant greeting always without fail !! Food is fresh with good portions and fairly priced … great quick option post gym ! always impressed with the cleanliness of the dining area and lavatories . Thanks guys

What a gormless lot of workers, ordered coffee, brekkie and paid. We were asked 4 times what coffee we ordered as they simply could not remember even though we were the only 2 customers there. Breakfast bap, bacon, sausage and egg... Bacon OK but not well done like I asked for, an anemic sausage still looking white with chewy skin, egg OK, asked for mushrooms, got one big flat, thick mushroom which was just too much and didn't work. The bap itself was dry and definitely not fresh. Put so much sauce on to make it less dry but gave up and didn't eat it. Girls came to clear table , saw 2 half eaten brekkie baps and didn't even bother to ask if something was wrong. Would never return, such a shame

Great selection of food and very good service. Just disappointed that the staff don't use gloves when handling the ingredients. I noticed the same hands that are touching the meat are touching the vegetables and the staff don't wash the hands when taking orders. As a vegetarian I was not comfortable seeing that the same hands that touches meat was being used to handle my vegetable wrap/sandwich. Please use gloves or wash your hands when taking the next order. Four months on from the owners comments about reviewing the procedures and still no change. Still no use of gloves which mean food contamination and meat mixing with non-meat. Shame

Regular coffee (£3.40) served with a touch of sarcasm. Not sure I'll be back.

Very friendly staff always polite and make me feel welcome. Food tastes lovely and is fresh and the hot chocolate is amazing.

First Art Tea put on by Chives. Excellent as always and a great experience. Look out for 11th July!

I walked in and asked for. Bacon and egg bap and bottle of Diet Coke . The bap was small with two slices of bacon and one egg … This came at a cost of £9 which is a joke …

Chives is a delightful place for breakfast. A lovely bunch of people who brighten your day every time you go in serving delicious café, fayre and perfectly presented hot and cold beverages.

Nice go to place. Would recommend staff are pretty friendly.

Very good service and food was very tasty.

Brilliant business. Both the food and service is always fantastic. Their regular menu is broad with seasonal and rolling daily specials also! Their expansion to Marlow from Bourne End is well deserved and a success, rightly so. Can't recommend them enough, delicious food and Graham and Vicky haven't lost their customer service touch, lovely pair and brilliant team they've got around them

Had a lovely lunch here. Staff were very friendly & efficient. Would recommend

Had a Saturday morning cooked breakfast with family and got to say it was the best breakfast I’ve had out anywhere in a long time. Perfectly cooked and reasonably priced and a friendly welcome so would highly recommend.

One of the nicest breakfasts out we have had in a long time. Thoroughly recommend.

The food is really nice which I won’t doubt, but… It’s pricey and not a lot of it. It’s £10.55 at the time of writing this for a breakfast plate and you only get half a black pudding, 1 egg, 1 sausage, 1 slice of toast, very small pot of beans and very small portion of bubble and squeek. It also comes with tomatoes which they wouldn’t swap for something else so had to pay an extra £1 for no tomatoes and to have another sausage. When the black pudding came out I thought it was cut by accident but it wasn’t. When I went to complain to the owner who was sitting on her own she didn’t seem interested and told me to speak to the staff at the till. I’ve been here before for takeaway breakfasts but wanted to sit in today. Don’t think I’ll be back here anytime soon.

We had the most amazing Tacos 🌮, Nachos and Spicy rice at our wedding👰🏼‍♀️🤵🏻‍♂️⛪️! Which was followed by a desert table of red velvet cake, gluten free brownies, deconstructed eaten mess and a cheese board 🎂 🧀. More than 50% of our guests had specific dietary requirements. With so many of our loved ones being coeliac’s, vegans, vegetarians, pescatarians, people with pepper allergies and suffering from IBS it was important that the food we provided them with wasn’t only suitable for them to eat but delicious. Chives did an incredible job 👏🏻🥳 . Everyone was well fed and the highlight was the gluten free brownies! One of the top comments about our wedding was how tasty the food was. Thanks you to the chives team for making our day special for so many people and for you exceptional hospitality!

A warm comfortable place to grab something to eat in or take away. Fresh handmade sandwiches, baguettes, wraps, baps etc. Lots of good choices for fillings. Friendly staff and reasonably priced. Can't fault it. Great place!

Friendly staff, great service. Delicious food. Clean and comfortable Café. Free parking. Free secure WiFi.

Wide choice of filling for sandwiches, wraps or baguette, with daily specials. You can really have it any way you want it! In my opinion baguette is the way to go, as not all combinations work with wraps... and let's be honest, a sandwich is not enough ;) Quick service, comfy seats, can get very crowded at lunchtime.

Great cafe perfect for lunch and breakfast with plenty to choose from for both. Shame it’s out of the way.

Great sandwich made to order, value for money too. Plus amazing service with a smile.

Fantastic gem near the station, great to meet up with friends or to grab a takeaway. Wide range of fresh, made to order panini, sandwiches, baps etc as well as cakes, pastries and warming soups & jacket spuds. Friendly staff too :)

Delicious food, super friendly staff, and dog-friendly!

Good place to have a sandwich and some coffee. Beware the lunch time when it gets super busy. The sandwiches are pretty simple, meat with bread, tuna melt in a baguette, some humus, some wraps. Thin choices for vegetarians. Plenty of space to sit inside, spacious, about 6 small tables and 4 bigger ones. I like how the walls are glass, getting a lot of light in. There are soft drinks and crisps, with an interesting choice of breakfast coming soon.

Dog friendly. Great food, Roast Pork baguette today. Yummy coffee and WiFi Oh there's some parking too

Bring back the Stotti! All good things deserve a come back... 😋

Friendly staff, fab baby changing facilities and tasty food and drinks. A great addition to this part of Marlow :)

Opening week a great success. Friendly vibe. Happy staff. Dog friendly - chicken treats. Refill coffee. Busy lunchtimes- maybe order ahead. Breakfast coming soon. Congrats Graham. Wishing you every success. Do support this local business.

Fab little sandwich shop with a fantastic variety of sandwiches, wraps, rolls, baguettes, panini, jacket potatoes. It does get busy at lunchtime so if you know what you want you could always e-mail your order, to save queuing. Friendly, helpful staff. Highly recommended.

Great little local sandwich shop and eatery, often buy my lunch here when WFH

Delicious baguettes as part of a great meal deal, so good!

Excellent breakfast baguettes at a very fair price.

Super tasty food. Highly recommend the paninis

Had a sandwich from here today and it was excellent, plenty of fresh filling and really nice bread. Will definitely go here again

Best sandwich shop around. I would suggest getting here before 1.30pm to ensure that they are well stocked up, but they provide full and hearty sandwiches.

Fantastic food and really helpful staff I always have a no3 it's simply the best....

Awesome our local sandwich shop is open again. The owner and staff are brilliant, make sure we support Chives, they deserve it.

Overrated. Super expensive for what you get.

Great selection. Proper home made feel to the food

Friendly, with excellent selection.

Lovely refreshing coffee halfway on early morning walk

Chives did a BBQ for us at a Community Event and the food was perfectly prepared and cooked. Fantastic service, I would definitely reccomend Chives. Thank you

Loving prepared food cheerful and friendly staff. Xx

The best Sarnie shop around, I make an effort to get there for lunch if I have any reason to be vaguely nearby. The scotch eggs are great as well.

Nice Roast Sandwiches.....very Filling...or is it Coz I'm Ickle....😀

Excellent personal service and freshly prepped food

Working local to here for a couple days and popped in for lunch. Very impressed with number 13 (hummus, olives, peppers and salad) Friendly staff, good hygiene. Will be back !

Very interesting sandwiches & bread for lunch. Also good for breakfast takeaways. Freshly cooked and too your liking

Called in for a quick coffee. Coffee was good but staff and kitchen were stretched due to busy house.

Good if you work in Bourne End for a sandwich at lunch time.

I eat there regularly however there is one girl who today was making batch sandwiches whilst wearing a material type bracelet, the bracelet was dangling into the sandwich. It’s very off putting as no one wants bacteria in there food. The staff don’t wear gloves when preparing the food and rarely use the utensils to get the food out of the bowls.

Not cheap but generously filled sandwiches with good range of fillings

Great quality, service and value

Really great little find! Lovely fresh ingredients combining flavour and texture with some mouthwatering combinations. Great value for money with friendly efficient staff.

Excellent sandwiches. Fresh bread every day. Brilliant service. Love the roast of the day baguette!

Fantastic sandwich shop with a massive selection of lunchtime food and some breakfast as well.

Fabulous sandwich and catering firm. Highly recommended whether you need a snack or a full on event catered for.
