Commandery Coffee in Worcester

Really good coffee. The cake I ordered was lovely too. So pleasant to sit by the canal on this sunny afternoon after a trip through Civil War history.

Since the new owners have taken over this cafe it’s gone downhill drastically. From tables not being cleared to staff stood around chatting. Such a shame! Food not very nice either, I miss the tasty toasties.

The coffee shop has recently changed hands and the coffee was not as good and the range of cakes was very small not the delicious homemade cakes they used to have.

Staff really friendly epic toasties especially their weekly toasties that I always go for. They deserve recognition for all their hard work

The owner was extremely rude on our last visit, almost to the point he was aggressive. No wonder they’re shutting down

Possibly the tastiest tuna melt toastie I've ever had - wish I knew the secret!

Lovely place to pop into for a coffee and something to eat, the cafe is right next to the canal so has a lovely view of the water and locks.The staff are friendly and helpful and the food here is really good I reccomend the toasties as they are really nicely done.

The good people who run this cafe are worth a visit on their own. I stayed overnight nearby and had my bike stolen and they could not of been more helpful or understanding - even offering a free coffee while I sorted it all out. A lovely spot by the canal.

We had a lovely lunch by the canal in the sunshine ☀️. Our toasties were fantastic with the cheese oozing out just as it should 🤤. My only slight disappointment was that they didn't have the Mac n cheese toastie that others have mentioned 😄

Really horrible experience here yesterday, which is really sad because we've had some nice times here in the past, I went with two friends and their children so 8 kids in total, after going to a FAMILY event at the commandary, We were sat outside and the children were playing after lunch. The male owner came out to speak to us gave us no warning, was clearly really angry, loud voice, trying to intimidate us, not even really giving us the chance to apologise, scared the children (2 of whom are autistic and became very upset) I'm 100 percent sure that if any of our husbands had been present he would not have spoken to us like that! And in my opinion he was completely overreacting. The second time he came out to have another go at us he'd barely given us chance to finish our drinks and pack our stuff away! The female staff were all lovely and were very helpful, and had plenty of opportunity to ask us politely ( we are perfectly nice people and would totally have respected them! )

Lovely garden next to the canal, so you can enjoy your food inside or out. Great how they do toastie of the week and soup of the day. Tasty homemade food.

You dont have to be a visitor to the Commandery museum to try out this wonderful independent cafe. You can access it direct through the canal side entrance. Fantastic selection of artisan coffee, homemade food (toasted sandwich specials looked amazing!) and cakes that will satisfy any sugar cravings you have. The café is open Tuesday to Saturday 10am – 4pm, and Sunday 11am – 3pm.

An enjoyable few hours at the comandery and then refreshments in the cafe. Very busy,but plenty of seating inside and out. Limited cakes...lots of brownie choices. Toasties looked fab. Hood drinks selection and different milks if needed.

Lovely coffee Tasty toasties. Delicious cakes Great team of staff

Delicious cakes. Lovely staff. Amazing atmosphere. 5 stars for sure. 👌

Great staff, a warm welcome for the dog and good food. The staff here are consistently good - thank you.

Great independent coffee shop serving the best cakes in Worcester, homemade and simply amazing, didn't want it to end! We had bakewell blondie and cookie bar, so much on offer so will have to go back for more!

Great spot in Worcester just 5 mins max outside of the hustle and bustle of town for coffee and cake. Cakes were absolutely Devine!

Apart from the great service, friendliness, lovely location, great home made cakes and imaginative toasties, if you want the best coffee in town this is where to come.

Quite possibly the best cheese and onion toastie I've ever eaten!

Possibly the best cafe in Worcester! The coffee is amazing and the toasties and cakes are incredible. Definitely look out for the toasties of the week, especially the cheesy garlic bread toastie and Mac n cheese toastie, as they are incredible. The owners are really lovely and always up for a chat. All the cakes and toasties are homemade with a great selection. The outside seating by the canal is possibly one of the best locations in Worcester. We come here a lot and it's always excellent!

Lovely setting, super friendly staff and delicious cakes.

Delicious food and drink, friendly staff - what more could you want?

Lovely yummy cakes , good coffee . Beautiful garden

Wonderful place with wonderful cakes and toasties on offer. Most of all Gemma and Peter and their great staff very much a community place

A great place to get a light bite or a coffee and cake. Friendly staff who have made this place great from a small beginning.

We sat outside and our drinks and cakes were brought out to us. Lovely fresh cakes and a warming coffee ☕ Thank you. 😊

Toasty of the week amazing as always

Really excellent lunch. We had toasties which were excellent and made with care and attention to detail. 2 daughters had cakes as well loved them.

Always a friendly greeting and scrummy cakes on offer. Washed down with a good cup of coffee.

Lovely friendly team, great service and tasty food, a winning combination!

Nice cafe in lovely setting, with very friendly and helpful staff.

Such a lovely location for a coffee with friends! And the staff are truly lovely! Plus the drinks and food was to die for. 100% coming again

First time visiting last weekend. Very much enjoyed our iced lattes sitting by the canal in the sun. The cakes are delicious too and so many to choose from! All the staff we met were lovely. Looking forward to our next visit.

Lovely setting, friendly staff and great cakes!

Lovely people running it and even lovelier assortment of cakes. Definitely would go again.

Friendly cafe, lovely food and charming setting.

We sat outside beside the canal and were served great food by delightful friendly staff. What more could you ask for?

Only cardboard cups but willing to refill with hot water. Good tea, and ham & cheese s'wch v good but no side salad at ~£5 rather expensive

Wonderful setting with wonderful refreshments

Nice coffee, nice cakes. Dog friendly. Gluten free options.

All good. Chunky toasted sandwiches where great.

Lovely cappuccino and delicious flapjack. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Never knew this little cafe existed. Amazing place.

Great coffee. Service a bit slow. Good price.

Lovely cakes! And a beautiful setting.

Great selection of home made cakes, friendly service ands lovely location overlooking the canal. We will revisit. Thank you

My favourite place to visit, pop down once a week for a treat, lovely setting, lovely friendly staff, best coffee/mocha around and the best cake too ( I've sampled a few.) Highly recommend the bakewell blondie! I tell everyone about this place, it's a gem!!

Excellent. Lovely staff, location, drinks and cakes. Can relax by the canal and chill for a while.

Pleasant cafe at the side of the canal.

Great outdoor seated cafe. Very tranquil spot along the canal, you can hardly believe you are in the middle of Worcester. Fantastic selection of cakes too!

Lovely staff and fabulous food .

Lovely, great friendly staff to both people and dogs. Love it

Writing this as I’m sat in their garden overlooking the canal. Friendly staff. Beautiful freshly baked treats - I tried the white chocolate and raspberry brownie which was gooey, sweet and well balanced with the sharpness from the raspberries. Lots of gluten and dairy free options too.

You can get lunch here - not just coffee and snacks. The food and drink are really nice, and staff are friendly. You can sit outside by the canal and watch the swans. Lovely place.

Good coffee, good service and good value.

Top class customer service & great food in a lovely location

Brilliant thanks good service and reai nice coffeeand cakes

Always a great experience at Commandary Coffee. One of our most favourite places in Worcester.

OMG lots of treats to choose from, delicious!!

Great coffee shop, cakes are amazing. Lovely setting. Right next door to local history. Well worth a visit.

Always a friendly welcome and delicious cake.

The drinks and food all seem to be exactly as you'd expect; very decent quality. But it's the location that really makes it a prime meeting spot for those of us who are worried most about Covid safety. It's got excellent and comfortable outdoor seating options and a very decent amount of space so you don't have to feel crammed in. And no review would be complete without mentioning the charm of being able to watch the swans drift past on the canal over the rim of your mug!

Really lovely food, all freshly made and was delicious! Great service, super nice staff! Quick, safe and easy service. Love the location

Wonderful place to eat drink and relax toasties and cakes are to die for best cappachino for miles and hosts Gemma and Pete along with amazing staff offer you a very warm welcome in a child and pet friendly atmosphere.

Superb coffee, cake and service. Thank you so much

Great location and happy friendly staff. Enjoyed watching the canal boats going up and down the lock.

My friend & I cycled through the rain & hail along the canal from Solihull to Worcester. First thing we needed on arrival in the city was excellent coffee & cakes. We were beckoned in by the owners & found both Suitably fortified, we set off in search of the train station to get home

Quiet location alongside the canal in the historic Worcester Commandery grounds. Both are well worth a visit. We shared and enjoyed a tasty cheese toastie and Bakewell slice.

If you are in Worcester and looking for cake this is the place to go! The selection is wonderful and all are delicious! They also do a great selection of drinks and other food. Great that they now have lots of tables outside, many of which are covered. It is in a wonderful quiet location beside the canal but easy reach of the city centre and the river.

By the canal, with a sunny garden.

Lovely cappuccino and choice of cakes on this cold March afternoon. We arrived late but most obliging staff were happy to help us.

I love Commandery because it's so little & local business with kind staff that will chat with you and better your mood! They offer many homemade desserts that are vegan/gluten or dairy free! Coffees, hot chocs & a wide tea range are also on a menu... Overall the café is a great place to grab snacks & drinks when you're on a walk for example, because it is right on the canals in a such a nice spot! They also offer swan food for only £2 which is a great deal & you can connect with a wildlife!💛

As always it’s so lovely to go to the Commandery Coffee cafe where you always receive a lovely warm welcome from Gemma in particular. She’s always bright and bubbly. Yesterday - Tuesday 2nd Feb was the first day or reopening after they’ve had a little makeover!! (For takeaway only due to Covid) Such an improvement and makes the cafe look bigger and brighter. We had the jacket spud with tuna - lovely; and tried the gluten free and dairy free orange and almond cake - delicious!! Neither of us are gf or df - we just liked the look of the moist cake. Thanks Gemma and team. Keep up the good work!! Stay safe.

Very welcoming with fantastic food. Plenty of GF and vegan sweet treats. Recommend this place 100%

The best soup we have ever had, lovely coffee and a great selection of tasty cakes that cater for all dietary requirements. Friendly and warm atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

Lovely people working there, great toasties, fantastic cake, good value, vegan, dog and child friendly. This cafe is our favourite in worcester.

Nice outdoor seating by the canal when the weather is good. Excellent homemade cakes, many gluten and dairy free options if that's what you want.

Brilliant service as usual by Gemma (and Pete). Easily the best cakes in Worcester!!

So much love for this hidden gem. Eating delicious homemade cake next to the canal is one of my favourite things to do, and this is the perfect place to do it.

Beautiful salad for lunch, so fresh! Lovely setting, staff very friendly, would highly recommend. 👍

Beautiful food, friendly staff, great location, can't wait to come again!

Friendly and helpful - and great food and coffee ;)

Vegan cake! Dog biscuits! Is that not enough to draw you in? Ok, ok - every single time I’ve been here, I’ve been blown away by the selection of vegan cakes, brownies and biscuits, all of which I could eat ten of (that’s not a boast - they’re just that good). Every time I take my four-legged friend with me he’s showered with affection, despite, more often than not, being stinky and mounting everything he can. Did I mention that there’s cake?

Nice that it was open, thought they were unprepared to cope with the numbers, really long wait even allowing for the circumstances.

Lovely setting,superb service,delicious coffee and cake.

Close to the centre but quietish location by the canal. Interior is a bit austere but we sat outside in the sun which was lovely. Food menu is very limited - couple of salads and 3 toastie options - but were very food. Lots of home made cake options too and excellent coffee. Recommended overall.

I often visit here when in Worcester. The garden is lovely with plenty of room. Canal Boats float by and its right by the water and tow path so there is plenty to look at. The people running the cafe are friendly and helpful serving lovely snacks, drinks, ice creams, cakes etc .There is a toilet you can use which is no bad thing in these very strange times when lots are not available. A great place to stop away from the bustle of the main city and i really recommend it.

Very nice cafe - Nice environment - lovely people - Highly recommended 👌

This is a lovely hidden gem close to the middle of Worcester. A beautiful spot next to the Commandery and the canal. Excellent coffee, lovely cakes and stunning toasties. But what makes the crucial difference is the genuinely warm welcome from the owners who are absolutely delightful.

It's open! Lindsay and I had a lovely tasty lunch [toastie] and coffee today (Sat 11 July). We sat outside, overlooking the canal, & 3 narrow boats sailed by - using the nearby lock. Altogether a great (l o n g) lunch! Can't wait to go back.

Open again. So pleased. Great coffee and food, charming service, lovely setting. What more could you ask for?

Called in today for take away coffee and cakes and a lovely chat. Beautifully located to watch the narrow boats navigate a lock. Great people and good food. Looking forward to returning soon and wish them all the best while the world is crazy....

Very friendly staff, great coffee and cakes, and dog friendly.

We were staying in Worcester for a weekend break, deciding to take a walk along the canal we found this lovely coffee stop. So glad we did, staff very friendly and great coffee too. Plenty of cake so we opted to have a slice, well why not ? Definitely strongly recommend this place

This cafe is small but very welcoming and friendly. Would highly recommend. This cafe could show others how to do it. For someone who has dairy & gluten allergies usually my experience is limited but this cafe not only had a variety of herbal teas but had a choice of 4 cakes!! The cakes were delicious. Very reasonably priced. If you have children they have even set up a colouring table for them.

Had a lovely tea and cake here. Great setting and fantastic staff. Really recommend and we will be back. David

The young lady who runs this is just gorgeous. It's worth a visit just to see her always uplifting 😁 The coffee and toasty are the best I found in Worcester. The people that frequently use the establishment are friendly and like a conversation. Dogs allowed in as well. Enjoy.

Love this place, fab coffee, beautiful cakes, awesome ladies and pet friendly, totally recommend this place xx
