Coffee Barne in East Northamptonshire

Relaxed and friendly for coffee or lunch with friends.

Went in there in a rush, realised I didn’t have time to grab my coffee after ordering as I had a bus to catch, they brought it to me at the bus stop a minute down the road! Appreciate the service after I was a complete klutz

Quite busy when I arrived with a client, but was shown another seating area as the main area was full up and a bit overwhelming for my client

Lovely afternoon tea, always friendly and personal service.

Lovely atmosphere, good prices, great food, parking available nearby, friendly staff.

More salad with the toastiest please. Fanxxxxxxx

Went for the first time the other day - friendly staff, only place I've been in that ask if you have any allergies. Great atmosphere and cheaper than the usual corporate brands. Will definitely be going back.

Had a lovely afternoon cream tea.celebrating a birthday of one of our friends.there was seven of us in total and the food was very good.because there was 7 people we had the second room to ourselves..not the most cumfy of places,there wasnt chairs but rather strange built in benches and low 'coffee tables'.proper furniture would be better like in the other room or at least some proper cushions.That said,i would go there again because we had a lovely time and the staff and food was really lovely.

Absolutely brilliant! Visit was amazing, food was lovely and fresh and service was excellent and all the staff very very friendly. Not only this but they take allergies genuinely seriously! Shown packets for everything they use (even down to the crisps on the plate!) and the allergy sheets for their home made food. Possibly the best management of allergies I’ve ever seen, separate milk machines for non dairy milk, signs everywhere asking for allergy information and asked when ordering. Cannot recommend highly enough! For people with and without allergies!!

Met family here for breakfast brunch this morning and just want to thank the staff for the excellent food and service. We didn’t get the opportunity to thank you when we left as the cafe was getting busy. We all love your cafe and it’s a great and central venue for us to meet as a family.

Found this little gem whilst in Higham. Everything was very good the only thing that let it down was the panini needed to be a panini and not a toasted baguette and a little bit more side salad. But other than that a very good experience.

We have just had afternoon here today and it was lovely. Table was ready when we got there and food came shortly after. Good selection of sandwiches and sweet treats plus a drink to go with it. Great value for money!!

We booked afternoon tea for a group of us, pre booked in advance as per their request. Arrived it was cosy and the staff were helpful, milkshakes amazing 🤩 The food is really reasonably priced at £14 each with drink choice included. Very please will visit again soon.

Great cafe. Dog friendly which is a must for us

We went for afternoon tea having been given a voucher. We were treated to a lovely afternoon tea. We were unable to finish it all but we were supplied with bags so that we could take some of the cakes home to have later. The scones looked like they were home made and I particularly liked the trifle in a jar which was a nice touch. Nice friendly staff made our e3xperience all the more pleasant. Thank You

How can you rate the atmosphere? It depends who you go with right? I had lunch here with my niece in the snug, lovely warm room for December and had a pre booked afternoon tea with my husband in the main room where the outside door is. There is no changing this or the weather I had delicious food both times, quick service. 1 tiny thing, maybe ask if you want the drinks with the food. I can imagine buddy times your drink is drank or cold waiting for food. I plan to go again soon

Lovely coffee and delicious egg and bacon sandwich for a late breakfast. Always a polite welcome and good service. Can be busy at times when it’s too cold and wet to use the courtyard. Happily return for drinks and food.

Great place to visit for a white hot chocolate and cake. Staff are always welcoming and friendly. Would highly recommend.

Was very busy but service was great and drinks were very nice indeed white hot chocolate is amazing and not often found in coffee shops.

Best thing is, it's not a Costa! Nice drinks, chilled atmosphere, in a pleasant town 👌

I visited for a baby shower so we had us of the snug, a room towards the back used for groups. It was perfect. We had the afternoon tea which was amazing value for money. We stayed right until close and staff were so good about not pushing us out the door! So friendly and lovely, will definitely be back.

Great coffee, brownies and mince pies, wish I could take one of everything.

We went for lunch and the tea and milkshakes were extremely good, best milkshake I’ve had in a long time. However for the price I thought the food was a bit lacklustre. The paninis was more of baguette with no greens inside was expecting more. But nothing offensive about the place.

The staff were very welcoming and friendly, food was so fresh and presented beautifully. And you can take away what you don't eat at the time. Small step on the way in but could easily get a push chair up it.

Love this place go hear with my 2 year old daughter, best cakes

Good local Coffee shop, quiet cosy little place, worth a pop in for a cuppa

As always, a fantastic coffee, great food and friendly service

Really lovely afternoon tea, service was brilliant as was the food!!! Highly recommend!!

Nice place but not much space and slow service. Would have been nice to be offered pepper salt.

What a little gem! Perfect in every way! The service and food, drink was impeccable! Even the bacon in my pannini was perfect. never had bacon so perfect. No too cripsy, not to chewy. you can tell they use good quality ingredients. parking close by and generously priced too! Never been so satisfied 15/10

Amazing place! Catered for a small afternoon tea for my sister in law's baby shower this weekend, we had 'The Snug' all to ourselves and could put balloons up for the occasion. Afternoon tea was delicious as well, and catered for veggie too. We'll be back again!

Good food and drinks, good value for money.

The most beautiful independent and cosy cafe. The staff are lovely and make you feel so welcome, and they have the best selection of cakes and drinks! 100% recommend x

Enjoyed afternoon tea with my two friends. Well worth the visit.

Lovely little drop in will visit again

Friendly staff. Safe cafe with a good variety of foods on the menu. Do cater for people who have allergies too. Quick service and always enjoy my brunch here

Cute tearoom & garden,lots of food choices friendly staff.

Very good cup of tea (organic)! They were about to close but were happy to serve us. Really nice place.

Such a lovely little cafe and for those who still don't want to sit inside, there is a courtyard out the back with tables. Lovely food and a lovely atmosphere 😍

Lovely coffee shop with quality coffee and great service from the staff!

Great coffee with a better service 👍🏻 don't forget to have cake 😋

A lovely little coffee shop with friendly staff and a very pleasant environment. Food is always fresh and tasty and service is quick. Would highly recommend for a place to have a catch up over a coffee!

Good coffee, had a large flat white. Small garden at rear of premises which was pleasant sitting out on a sunny lunchtime.

What a fantastic Afternoon Tea we collected today for my Mums 80th Birthday. She loved it and wanted to thank you all so much. The quantity and quality of the tea surpassed our expectations

Lovely coffee and breakfast. Careful attention paid to ensure seating area is Covid safe

Great coffee served with a smile.

Very good nice staff and good coffee

Nice friendly cafe, good maltesers milkshake

We went here for lunch and to say I'm disappointed is an understatement. They do not cater well for allergies at all. If you're vegan/dairy free there is no point visiting here as they do not have anything to offer and if you're gluten free, be prepared to pay £4 for a tiny toastie made with 2 slices of 'Genius' gluten free bread. You can't have a sandwich as the Gluten free bread is frozen so they will only offer a toastie. Apparently the lack of ingredients is 'due to COVID' which I don't find acceptable as ingredients are readily available everywhere else now, so it is a poor excuse. If your gluten sensitivity is severe then AVOID as they toast the GF meal on the same grill as ordinary bread! The lady serving was very rude as well and really made me feel like I was an inconvenience to them.I appreciate this is a small business but I am really deflated and let down by such a poor service in regards to food intolerance/allergies.

Pleasant setting for a delicious afternoon tea. Friendly, helpful staff. I would recommend this Coffee Shop.

Friendly staff and good food. Follows the guidelines perfect

Nice end to a morning bike ride.

Great little cafe. Visited after the lockdown restrictions allowed them to open. Clear instructions on entry. Hand sanitizer available, markings on the floor. Was a gorgeous day and they have an outdoor seating area at the back. Service was good, helpful staff and drinks tasted great. Will be back for afternoon tea.

I went with my two daughters as a treat for us, and we were so impressed. The staff were friendly and professional and their Covid procedures made you feel very safe. The food came promptly and was delicious. My daughters especially loved the little sandwiches and gingerbread men. Thanks and we will be back soon.

Excellent coffee and cake. Love stopping here and watching the world go by. Hand sanitiser on each tables and everyone socially distancing. Need to come back and try out the garden area

A lovely place for a tasty breakfast. Perfect outside seating. Can order from side window. Staff remember you with a nice hello. £10 for two lots of toast (that’s two lots of two) and two coffees, very reasonable. Delicious granary bread. Plentiful marmalade to spread. Quick attentive service. Would happily go back every Sunday morning.

We just had a lovely pit stop with my family & dog at The Coffee Barn. We used the takeaway window & sat in the courtyard at the back. Tables were distanced & hand sanitiser was available. Service was friendly & prompt & our milkshakes with cream & a chocolate looked & tasted fabulous - they took care over presentation & to make our visit even more pleasant, they offered my puppy a drink of water without needing to ask! Thank you coffee Barn - we’ll be back from a dog walk next week.

We visited post lockdown as we were missing what we consider to be the best mocha coffee around. We decided to sit inside once we could assess how safe we felt. All the Covid measures that you would expect were in place, there is a one way system, hand santisers on all tables, seating areas all adhere to social distancing, we could see staff sanitizing high touch areas regularly during our visit which was all reassuring to see.Wouldn't hesitate to return for our favourite coffee and maybe a slice of cake next time.

Great place and they've done a wonderful job of getting the place ready for the post-Covid world we are living in now

Cosy setting, fab staff, delicious food and coffee. Highly recommend the scotch eggs! Can't wait for better weather to go back and enjoy the garden and icecream

Thankyou so much for our delicious afternoon tea today although we are not one of your most regular customers we will miss your presence in higham and look forward to your return keep safe and well thankyou again

The Coffee Barne has a pleasant interior with stylish but rustic decor and a bright, airy feeling. Windows look out onto Higham Ferrers' charming and historic market square. Service is friendly and efficient.There's a good range of light meals and snacks on the menu as well as an extensive list of hot and cold drinks.I ate a breakfast bagel with sausage, egg and peppery spinach. It was delicious and generously filled.The coffee was also good.Prices are reasonable and I can recommend this as a nice spot for breakfast or lunch.

Busy, friendly with good coffee. Often very busy on a Saturday. The cappuccino is always nice and frothy. Only disappointments ate that Radio is often set to Radio 1 which seems more for the staff than the customers who are nearly all above Radio 1s 16-24 target audience. Radio 2 would be better compromise and malteser tiffin no longer regularly available

Best pancake stack ever!!!! Absolutely delicious! Scrummy!

Very nice food and pleasant staff, had the afternoon tea which was plentiful! Has a nice separate room with toys to keep children entertained!

Had a great late take away. Lovely place to visit for quick bite. Will visit when will be in area next time.

Love going to the coffee barne, the staff are friendly, there is a great little play area for kids so it’s a brilliant place to meet up with other parents and get to enjoy a drink in peace whilst keeping the littles busy. The food is about average for a cafe but fairly priced and decent enough. I recently had the afternoon tea for two as a birthday treat and it easily fed 3 adults and a child so is great value for money there and it was really well presented.

I come with friends today for afternoon tea.we all said how nice and enjoyable it was and great value it was as well.I will be back

Quaint little coffee shop, enjoy coming here. Very friendly staff.

Lovely little café, friendly helpful staff, reasonable prices for food and drinks, good service.

I’ve lived in Higham Ferrers for 10 years and unfortunately when Beans changed to Coffee Barne, things just went downhill. Whilst the coffee is still good, the service is incredibly slow - and you’re lucky if you get hello or a smile from some of the staff. Today is our last visit to Cafe Barne. We were charged £3 for an awful sausage sandwich for a child. The sausages were the cheap, frozen kind and they barely filled the two slices of bread. My child wouldn’t touch them. Pancakes charged at £9 taste and look shop bought. At that price I’d expect something homemade. The selection of food is greatly reduced on a Sunday also. I wouldn’t have minded but there was no choice if you’re looking for a healthier option. The menu could do with a revamp, some smoked salmon or poached eggs would be a good addition. There is an area for kids to play which is the only reason why we even consider going here. However, the toys are old and dirty, it could do with some new things. If Bewiched had a play area I’d most likely go there.

Delicious!!! Such a lot of choice and such a friendly, clean and welcoming environment. The afternoon tea looks very good....will be trying that too in the near future

Coffee and Ginger Bread Muffins both delicious 👍

Cosy and friendly! Good coffee.

Nice, cosy decor and lovely coffee.

Beautiful food and very reasonably priced

Four of us booked to have afternoon tea here today at 3.00pm. We had a warm welcome and a table had been reserved for us. The waitress came and asked for our drink orders. Three people wanted coffee and I wanted tea. I was advised that there was no regular tea as they had run out as had been busy! Really, no tea,, couldn't someone had popped out to get some tea bags? They did have Earl Grey so that sufficed. The afternoon tea was beautifully presented and fresh and was enjoyed by all. There was a pleasant relaxed atmosphere.

Arrived early but enjoyed reading the paper and chatting to some regulars. There is a good range of coffees, sandwiches, soup, salad, jacket potatoes and cakes. My friend is coeliac but the staff went out of their way to check on things like mayonnaise.Lovely atmosphere in this little cafe.

Always a pleasure to eat and drink here!

First visit today and wasn't disappointed and will be returning on a regular basis excellent.

Loved this little coffee shop. Clean and very lovely staff. Noticed regulars to this

Good food, nice area, has a play are for children

Affordable, quaint, wide selection of wraps and sandwiches and other cafe classics. Recommend the grape smoothie!

Good coffee, ordered a sausage sandwich, brown bread was good but using really cheap sausages which really spoilt it for me, I wouldn’t buy them for home so don’t expect them in an upmarket coffee shop!

Good place for a coffee and food

Went on a recommendation from a family member. Did not disappoint. Had the cream tea, £10 per person, plenty food. Was delicious.

Nice food and staff. Affordable...

Very nice little coffee shop, which I think is independent. Good selection of cakes, paninis etc. at good prices. Pleasant staff. Nice environment with varying clientele. Today mostly older people but they also have a room with toys for family use.

Lovely cosy café. Fab cake! Nice, polite service.

We stopped in Higham Ferrers to see the church and noticed this coffee shop en route. After visiting the church we popped in for a tea and coffee.The lady serving was welcoming and friendly.As we only had hot drinks, we did not stay long. Sadly the window seats were all taken, but we enjoyed the ambiance of the place.It is popular, as there were a number of people there having breakfast or reading the paper over a coffee.

Amazing! Such a lovely place, we organised a surprise baby shower for my work friend and we had afternoon tea which was to die for! Would completely recommend and well worth the money! Thank you for all your help

Lovely sun spot outside and great staff. Food is made fresh for you so they are able to help with allergies. They also took allergies very seriously and raised concerns on cross contamination showing care and knowledge.

Lovely afternoon tea good selection of sandwiches and cakes

I enjoyed my drink but thought the ham sandwich was unimaginative and uninspiring, literally just ham in two slices of bread, why not push the boat out and add some salad inside too!

Not a great veggie or vegan selection. But good coffee and delightful staff. I'll go back just for the lovely atmosphere

Lovely little gem of Higham, prepared me a breakfast even though I had missed the deadline, cannot complain with that.

What a wonderful place, beautifully quaint decor and very lovely staff. I spent several hours here today studying and everyone was so lovely and friendly. Best Mocha I have ever had too and I have had alot. Thanks you.

Coffee: tip top, Service: outstanding, Venue: Relaxing.

Absolutely lovely afternoon tea for me and my mum definitely recommend

Great service, lovely food, family friendly.
