CuriosiTEA Rooms in Aylesbury Vale

Went for a walk at the weekend and we decided to have lunch out. We have 2 young children (4 & 2) and the staff couldn't be more welcoming. They ensured that all of us were happy to alter their menu for our fussy eaters! The drinks arrived and they were just at the right temperature, we had a Hot Chocolates & the children had babyccino and everyone could drink them straight away. Food arrived, nice and warm and just what we needed after our walk. The cake flavours varied and there was something there for everyone and we all walked out needing another walk!

We arrived for s quick lunch with our son snd 2 young grand children. It was very busy, being half term, however we were not told about the long delay for getting any food. We waited for 40 minutes to get a couple of children's sandwich meals, 2 coffees and 2 heated through pies. For the princely sum of £27, I can't even begin to understand how it came to do much. I am sorry but I could not think of any reason why I could recommend this place to anybody!

Well what can I say. We ordered our lunch, drinks came eventually and waited for food. I ordered beef and horse radish with rocket which came flat as it had been toasted, very odd, very dry . Why does that need to be put in panini press. The young people serving looked a cross between nervous and scared. Other family lunch was bacon and brie which was so flat it was crunchy and flavourless, tea was frothy and tasteless and for the price was not pleasurable. Doubt will go again. Also walls need some soft furnishings on to take away noise levels. You couldn't here yourself think.

Good veggie breakfast and freindly service. Not many cafes in the area so I was happy to find this one.

We have been to Pitstone for coffee and cake and today Lunch in The Gliding Club. Fantastic value, great selection of cakes, yummy lunch. I had bubble & squeak with egg and bacon which was so tasty. Service with a smile too.

Went to the gliding club branch, for lunch today. Food was lovely, generous portions and tasty. Prices were very reasonable. Staff were really friendly. Views across the downs, also of the gliders taking off were awesome. Highly recommended, its a great find kind of place!

Don’t be fooled by the outside. It’s in the middle of the Glider Club. Lovely friendly staff and a great value breakfast. Recommend the half English and a coffee all for under a tenner

Super breakfast with a view over the busy Gliding Club this Sunday morning. My Bumper breakfast was very, well, bumperish, and the avocado on toast was apparently also excellent. Perfectly prepared and cooked, great value and very friendly, efficient service. Super coffees too.

We knew CuriosiTEA had moved as we had an awful experience at Wild Raven (not realising they were not there any more) but were not sure where to. How I am glad we found you. What a lovely little place with very tasty food and outstanding cakes. It’s just so lovely and the staff are always so polite and attentive. There is a play park right outside and what seems a very popular skate park. Perfect little coffee shop and definitely my favourite. If you have not been, you are missing out

Good quality decaf coffee, very friendly customer service. Options to sit indoors or outdoors. Nice clean toilets. Adjacent to a play area so good location for families and lots of parking

Having enjoyed visiting The Curiositea at Wild Raven we thought we would give their Pitstone branch a try. Oh how I wish we hadn't bothered. Place was dirty; I had to use my own anti bac wipes to clean the table. The cooked breakfasts were horrible; totally raw sausages of a sort of grey colour, no mushrooms at all, very rubbery and overcooked eggs, cheap toast spread with nasty margarine and fairly miserable coffee. When we mentioned that we were not happy with the food we were told, by disinterested staff, that they would 'pass it on'. What a shame! I won't be returning and wouldn't recommend to anyone

Came here based on TripAdvisor reviews…. Can’t help but think this isnt what it used to be. Doesn’t match the photos or the menu! Simple food. Slow. Dreadful coffee! Happy to support the local endeavour to employ youngsters but won’t be coming back.

We visited Curiositea’s cafe at the London Gliding Club, unfortunately there’s no TA page for that. Unfortunate because it’s a little gem! The public can eat there between 10am and 2am and sit overlooking the activity on the airfield. We took advantage of their breakfast options, even the largest was under a tenner and included free coffee or tea re-fills. The staff were great; polite and prompt with the food and drinks. Definitely will go again!

The cafe does not look much from the outside but I was pleasantly surprised as soon as we went in. The savoury food was all very traditional but nicely done. Excellent coffee and cake.

Not an adult in sight. Place is run by teenagers. 1 hour an 20 minutes to be served raw food. Shocking standards. In our time we saw 3 groups just walk out. Was really disgusted with the whole experience. Such a shame. When this placed opened, the quality was excellent. Has now gone to the typical 'cafe' cheap rubbish sausages etc. What a pity.

Friendly staff and quality coffee and cakes have transferred well to the new location. Good stop for cyclists and walkers. Generous slices of cake. Served quickly. Outside and inside seating options

Well what can I say Hayley @curiositearooms , I'd been recommended Hayley to bake me a cake for my wife's birthday & not just any old birthday cake , this bad boy was the Toffee Apple model , Oh my God such a deelish pile...

Wow, what a fantastic place to eat. I found this place while travelling between Dunstable and Aylesbury and so glad I did. I had the Steak Pie with all the trimmings and the last time I had similar quality it was cooked by my late...

We had read excellent reviews of this tea room and thought we would try it out for ourselves. We were not disappointed! There is a wide choice of all sorts of food and drink on the menu all at a very reasonable price. The staff...

Our 1st visit to this lovely, little cafe was a delight. The lady behind the counter (I assume the owner) was very pleasant on arrival and didn't hesitate to find me and my wife a table and make us feel comfortable. We both had a...

Not been for a while as I moved out of the area, but what a lovely place. It's been refurbished and looks great with a lovely selection of cakes. The baguette I had was lovely and great portion size too. Hubby had a breakfast which...

The inside of the building is dirty. They claim their food is best quality yet it’s all from Aldi. Absolutely nothing wrong with eating food from Aldi however for that price and description I’d expect abit better? The woman who runs it is judgemental and...

This was our second visit to this little treasure. We called in shortly before closing but the staff were happy for us to sit in and have our coffee whilst they quietly and unobtrusively cleared around us. I can recommend the mocha as well as...

Just come back from a afternoon tea for 2 but I would say it would feed 4 lots of sandwiches freshly made and lovely fruit scones with clotted cream and jam and delicious home-made cake’s far to many to eat but the owner Hayley was...

Treated my mum to afternoon takeaway tea. It was really good, and definitely enough will be having cake for breakfast. Thanks you really are going from strength to strength.

I stopped in here this morning with the cycle club that I belong to. Lovely place. My black coffee was enormous and had good flavour and my vegan carrot cake was simply divine. Friendly staff too. Recommend.

Whilst it on a walk we decided to stop in a sort a local business; the sign outside sealed the deal, someone had said "Worse coffee a man had ever had in his life". I ordered a cake and cappuccino and my wife a cake...

...but nice place. Glad it's here but let's not pretend it serves anything but mediocre coffee. The cake we had was nice though.

Visited the first time after lockdown on the 19th of September. What a treat to be able to sit on that fabulous newly made bench from pallets. Had an excellent ice-cream. Looking forward to their coffee and hot chocolate in the winter in the Gazebo....

I have been to this fabulous place to eat three times now with my dear friend. Absolutely love it-just wish I was more loval. Hayley and Sven Are fabulous hosts. Their staff are very friendly and helpful. They are all doing a fantastic job during...

I really want to like this place, it's perfectly placed for a few hours out with the kids or a snack at the end or start of a long walk. The staff are friendly, it's nice inside and there's nice views if you sit outside....

Stopped on way back from walk with dog. Wanted 2 take away coffees and smoothie. Waited 25 mins to be served then drinks came without lids even though I asked for takeaway. Drinks were full to brim and I explained we were driving. Got to car and realised we could not drive with them was going to pour away but decided to go back and ask for refund. Was told that they could put lids on if I had smaller cups and didn't mention it to anyone !Have been to starbucks today and No Covid reason that you can't have lids. I have been to a few places since lockdown and this place did not fill me with confidence.

Visit on Sunday 2 Aug. The outside tables were well-spaced and I saw a note on a vacant one noting it had been sanitised. So far, so good.But not one of the servers I saw were wearing masks. While there was notionally a socially-distanced queue to enter the serving area, it was in a narrow passageway and none of the servers nor customers pushing past were wearing masks, and, once inside, there was no social distancing either. I left before purchasing anything. While I accept that there is some limit to what can be imposed on customers, the staff should take all precautions, and seek much harder to impose on customers who go inside that they must wear masks. A bit easier to do if the staff themselves are wearing masks. This is the way the virus is spread, including later to the vulnerable with possible lethal consequences. Surely given that, wearing a mask is a small price?

Such lovely friendly staff.food is lovely and coffee is fantastic. Had an amazing afternoon tea delivered in lockdown. Parking can be a little difficult but worth it.

The terrace overlooks a lovely play area so parents can have a leisurely lunch while the children are occupied. Food very nice. I recommend the milk shakes.

We went to CuriosiTea a couple of months before lockdown and enjoyed a meal with friendly service. Since lockdown, we have made the most of delivered Afternoon Tea and the Picnic Hamper. So glad they have found an outlet to extend their great snacks and friendly service. We will be going back now we actually can, even under social distance measures.

Ordered a waffle box for my daughters 14th birthday, it was easy to order and pay. On the day the box arrived nice and early and was amazing, everything you could want for waffles. Made a lockdown birthday very memorable. Throughly recommend.

Amazing afternoon tea from Sven & Hayley, seamless ordering and payment and then prepared and delivered professionally with social distancing and safety methods in place, lovely treat in lockdown, definitely ordering again! Thankyou, we’re stuffed! x

I love their cafe, amazing pancakes and great menu and cakes. During this lockdown they offer delivery for breakfast and afternoon tea. Ordered afternoon tea- incredible! Great people, brilliant service and amazing food

The CuriosiTEA Rooms are a wonderful place to stop and refuel. In the summer I cycle past frequently, stop for a coffee and snack and am always impressed with the personal service and the range of tempting cakes on display. It is one of a small number of cafes and enterprises in the area which compete well with the larger and busier establishments. Definitely recommended for your visit list. Cycles are no problem, car parking is easier just down the junction road (Station Rd).

Visited with my wife and parents for an evening quiz night, with dinner beforehand. Excellent and very attentive service with a wonderful atmosphere. Hayley and Sven were perfect hosts and made the entire evening a great experience. Great value and quality food! Thanks for looking after us so well, we will definitely be back (after some extra lessons to help with our quiz knowledge!)

£10 for 2 scalding hot, watery cups of uninteresting coffee (should have been flat white but water content was much higher than milk) and 2 slices of Morrison’s The Best range of cakes. Not homemade. I did want to like it as I live in the area and want to support a local business but this was my first visit and I won’t be returning to try anything else. I was incredibly surprised as it gets hundreds of amazing reviews online! On here, Facebook and google reviews. So I’m thinking it might have been an off day. Was this an unusual event, to buy in cake from a supermarket...? I’d be interested to hear back from the owners. Date of visit: Sunday 12th Jan. Thanks.

My wife and I were looking for somewhere for an afternon cup of coffee and were pointed in CuriosiTEA's direction. What a lovely place. The coffees were very reasonablr priced and the staff were extremely charming. It's a pity that weren't feeling hungry at the time because what was on offer was very appretising and again at very good prices.One for the note book for later.

Thank You & Sven from All your O.A.P’s for treating us to a lovely afternoon at CuriousTea with a lovely traditional English afternoon Tea (Sandwiches, Scones & Cakes etc.,) All those OAP’s who aren’t on Social Media asked to be remembered to you both for your continuous warmth & hospitality and to everyone and new groups. Your dedication & innovations are amazing. Long live CuriousTea with Hayley & Sven

Love this little cafe. Food is good, staff are great, and there is no rush or fuss. It is one of my favourite places to sit and chill, collect my thoughts, even write. And the breakfast is always good.

Received a lovely warm welcome as soon as we came through the doors. The food was really good as well. Recommended.

Went with friends and my husband for breakfast. Lovely place, fresh, hot and tasty. The service was quick and we ate outside.

Very nice food friendly loverly place would have give 5 stars but ventilation not great smoke in ceiling clothes smelled of cooking

A relaxed and comfortable community-led tea room with delicious food in a interesting setting. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Dropped in for the first time on Friday. Loved it. The old school house building is full of character and patina. The staff were great. The keenly priced food was excellent. There were good outside tables to eat at and enjoy the sun and being by the park. However, remember this is a community hub with limited capacity so if you turn up with twenty mates on bikes or on a walk, you may have to wait a little while your orders are taken and your food prepared. It's very good at what it tries to be. If you're looking for a 3-course a-la-carte meal, go somewhere else. I'll definitely be back for another snack & coffee.

Wow.... this place is just amazing.

Lovely home made cakes or freshly cooked food from the extensive menu. Housed in the old Victorian village school.

Nice little local place, nothing fancy but cakes are good, coffee is very good, nice for a quick picker upper. Service is friendly.

In the centre of the village, next to a park, this cafe seems to be in an old schoolhouse. Although quite basic it does the job and attracts walkers, cyclists and many children. It therefore can be quite noisy. The usual cafe type meals are served in large quantities. Coffee was good and copious, if a little bitter for my taste. The all day breakfast was excellent and the so called half breakfast was enough. Prices are very reasonable with the half breakfast at £4. There is a great selection of cakes and also outside seating. Staff appear genuinely friendly and helpful. Overall well worth visiting if you are in the village.

i have been to Curosi Tea Rooms several times and its perfect. The staff are accommodating and the food is great to. I have been in a hurry before but you just have to remember that this is just a little village tea room.

Friendly staff and lovely comfort food. Great location in the heart of a lovely village. Great for passing traffic and great for hill walkers. Great team of staff who are very ameanable. Great tasty food, Simple and delicious comfort food.

My local spot where I am always made to feel welcome . The food is great and owner warm and accommodating. Highly recommend!

Perfect for a late breakfast or lazy lunch. Sit outside and enjoy the views of the village green to one side and the Ridgeway above.

Just popped in for a cuppa on a sunny afternoon. Staff warm and welcoming, lovely drinks and cakes and just a perfect relaxing time. Would totally recommend to anyone. Everything reasonably priced and great selection of food and drinks and in beautiful surroundings.

I Visit the tea rooms a number of times because of so many reasons, firstly it is in an amazing and quite frankly beautiful location and also the lovely greeting and respect shown by the staff which is something you dont get everywhere these days.

Delicious! Warm space on a cold morning - welcoming and courteous service from the staff - lovely coffee!

I come to the curiositea tea rooms on a regular basis as they cater for my intolerances, the staff are very friendly and always happy to help. Suitable for families, friends or a quick stop in. Wont go anywhere else !

Absolutely disgusted with my experience here. Me and my Husband came here a few months back and had an enjoyable time, however we came back over the weekend and can not believe how down-hill it has become. Not only did they have a very limited part of their menu available the customer service was appalling. Staff members did not seem to know what they were doing at all and everything took a long time to come out. They seemed to be too busy on their phones or messing around with each other than serving us, even though we had been waiting for over 15 minutes. Very disappointed at their lack of professionalism and will definitely not be returning. However if you are in the area and looking for a nice meal or drink, there is a lovely little Pub just around the Corner that i would recommend over this place any day.

This place was disgusting, there were dirty plates and cups all over the place and no one even attempted to clean it up. Had to wait over 30 minutes just for a Cheese and Tomato Sandwich and a children's meal. Which contained a Ham sandwich, a pack of crisps, an apple which was bruised, a cupcake which was stale, and a yoghurt which was out of date!! unbelievable... To make matters worse, when I told one of the staff members about the yoghurt in specific she was very rude and just gave me another out of date one. This has to be against some type of health code. Definitely would not recommend you to visit.

I went for a nice date with my boyfriend only to be greeted by rude staff members and horrible service. I will not be coming back here again and I would not be surprised if this place shuts down soon.

It was Dirty, they seemed to have nothing in stock, Service was slow and rude, they did not cater for gluten intolerence very well, and food came out cold. Will not be going there again.

We visited today for what we thought would be a lovely afternoon tea (gift for my daughters 30th birthday from her aunty)

This cafe is just what cyclists need - good wholesome hot food and snacks, friendly fast service and plenty of places to park your bike. There’s seating in-side and out too. Recommended.

Fantastic staff with a great customer service. Great coffee and cakes. Open every day. Take away and eat in. Right next to the green. Lovely loos too

The old school has been made into a spacious tea room and the menu is pretty large to match. We just had coffees and amazing pink water melon cake. Very tasty. Next time I will try more.

What a lovely little place... we were on our weekend away and stopped off here for a light lunch... absolutely perfect. So quaint and pretty... the food was lovely, freshly cooked.. the staff were polite and the Raspberry Pavlova Milkshake is to die for...

Set in an old school, with fenced outside seating area, this is a great village cafe. There's a good selection of beverages and choice of cakes. There's lots of local literature and things for little ones to do, which gives it a good sense of community. They do various themed/quiz/spa nights too, so go on line.

I had spent a couple of hours yesterday walking around Steps Hill and the surrounding area and needed refreshment. A warm greeting with a smile and a pleasant, clean setting were my first impressions. The tea and toastie turned up quite readily as I sat watching people coming and going. Situated in the heart of the community and run by the community - delightful.

Three of us came here after having a very long drive from Amersham. We were the first to arrive and we were greeted with the smell of cakes. Dan went to the toilet. We all got our tea and ordered. I had £7 fry up which was lovely the two fried eggs and two rashers of bacon made me think of my ex wife but with toast and mushrooms soon made me forget her.Dan went to the toilet again.

There's always a warm welcome at this cafe located in an old school building in the heart of this pretty village. The menu offers loads of choice and service is quick which is great when your hungry. Prices are reasonable. Recommended.

We were impressed by our first visit to this village cafe. The staff were very friendly and there's an excellent range of hot food, cakes and drinks. Hot dishes like eggs on toast were served quickly and brought outside. Good value too.

Visitamos las habitaciones curiositea dos veces durante nuestra estancia en Ivinghoe y nos quedamos realmente impresionados por la variedad de comida y bebida. Hay una pequeña zona de juegos para los niños en puertas con una gran variedad de juguetes para mantenerlos entretenidos mientras usted disfruta de una bebida caliente. Hay una buena zona de juegos exterior. Es limpio, agradable y eficiente, y no dudaría en volver. Bien merece una visita.

Fabulous evening and food, lovely atmosphere, great staff It was take your own drink but everything else provided, all for an incredible price, looking forward to the next one

Las muchachas de la recepción muy amable y dispuesto a servir, nada parecía demasiado para ellos para ayudarte y asegurarse de que era feliz. Disfrutamos de un generoso trozo de tarta de zanahoria y un buen té, mientras mi hijo dijo el bap el desayuno...

Fuimos a la Tea Rooms en sábado, qué limpia, sonriente bienvenido! La zona exterior ha sido recientemente cuadra pavimentada y parece precioso. Tenemos una taza de té Earl Grey (con una galleta) y un capuchino - ambos se sirven en vasos de "bonitas", lo que...

Qué hermosa cafetería poco encontrado inesperadamente en nuestro pie de Camping pueblo agrícola. A un precio razonable preciosa ubicación personal muy agradable.

Love this place.. just what the village needed.. girls are lovely and cakes... well... delicious... great setting and kids can go in the park next door in the summer

A lovely tea room in the old school . Very friendly staff & very reasonable priced food . Great for children as have a good little play area & I think dog friendly . Gorgeous cakes as well . Will definitely visit again . Thank you .

Kids love coming here as much as I enjoy the tea in peace while they play. Food is good and well priced. Cakes are amazing it's always hard to choose.

Visited one lunchtime and there were a lot of mums with young babies but that wasnt a problem. Staff were pleasant, good choice of food and drinks at very reasonable prices. Will visit again.

Lovely village coffee shop. Great cakes & breakfasts. Also do light snacks: sandwiches, baked potatoes etc. Child friendly. Good place to aim for after a long walk. Child friendly.

Nice little place if passing and need a cuppa! Stopped when cycling past on a Saturday morning. Great collection of cakes.

Visited twice now. Lovely village location, staff are friendly, and food is lovely- especially the cakes!Good selection of snacks and very reasonably priced. Lovely park and playground next to the cafe, so a great place to take the kids.Excellent menu detailing all ingredients clearly- fantastic for those with allergies/food intolerance's.

For us it was a good place for breakfast - just a ten minute walk coming down from Town Farm Campsite. It's a nice place. Good for kids as well, which was a major plus for us!

Clean, tidy and friendly. Good selection of cakes, sandwiches and snacks. Service can be slow at busy times but lovely staff. Seating inside and out. Cute village location.

This is the village school now set up as an excellent daytime cafe/tearooms. Its light bright and clean, the staff are great, pleasant and helpful with a welcoming smile. Ours was a light lunch, a jacket potato, and piece of cake and coffee and it was all excellent.The choice of filling for the potato was wide and varied and well cooked and presented.The cake - all but too many types to choose from but lots of variety for lots of return trips. The coffee was good and it was all served in on or proper china. I will be going back and I suggest you give it a try too. If you have children with you there's a playground just alongside and a pleasant outside area where you can sit and enjoy the sunshine while you eat, drink, chat and keep an eye on the kids

Having stopped off for a play in the children's play area next door we were delighted to find we could get a cup of tea in this cafe. We could not have been more impressed by the extremely warm welcome, the utterly delicious cakes ( we had lime & zuccini and raspberry & brownie which were both incredible) and the extremely reasonable prices. We would highly recommend a visit and will definately visit again next time we are in the area. Just lovely.

Community all out effort to preserve historical building succeeds in providing for a most welcoming, bright, high ceiling gothic 2 story window where CuriosiTEA Rooms staff provide delicious cakes and pasties and all sorts of Italian imported Roma Cappuccino, Latte, Macciatto, Expresso, besides Hot Chocolate and a multitude of herbal natural teas ! Try it and you will love it. The community has also adjacent rooms where parties can be hired for events, and citizens are offered IT classes and facilities, which also can be hired for holding meetings and conferences.

I have visited this cafe many times and always had very nice food. Friendly, helpful staff that go out of there way to make sure you have a nice visit. Will be visiting again soon

We always enjoy Curiositea rooms! It is always welcoming! They have a good menu, lots to choose from! Kids love going there!

This is a warm and friendly place to visit.Delicious cakes and other foods.Children are always most here and there is an area for them to play and read etc .....Friendly staff with outside park and seating area.

Visited here for their pop up restaurant evening. Nice relaxed atmosphere, friendly and attentive waiting staff. Beautiful 3 course meal, with generous portions. Very reasonably priced too. They accommodated my dietary needs (I am vegan) without fuss. Very happy experience and can't wait to go back again.

During our 2.5 weeks near Ivinghoe, we stumbled upon CuriosiTEA Rooms. What started with a simple drop-in for tea and cake, ended with a return trip for a proper meal...and let me tell you, it ALL impressed.The chocolate cake was beautifully moist and delicious--not too rich. When we came back for breakfast, my wife had the Coronation Chicken sandwich, and I had the large breakfast. I can only speak for myself, but the breakfast was ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD! The sausage and bacon were out of this world. The eggs and beans were classic, and the coffee selections are plentiful.Thank you to the lovely ladies who served us and made us feel welcome during our visits. We will certainly return if we are back in the area!

We visited on a Sunday afternoon and the service was excellent, despite being only 30 mins before closing. The look is more of an old fashioned tea room, though in a building that looks more like a small church. The focus is more on coffee then tea with lots of options and syrups. And cakes! Black coffee was very well received, but my latte was only average, so I couldn't give the place five stars. Still a nice different place to stop. Just so much more character than a Starbucks. Large play corner in the tea room for very small (under fives mainly) children, if parents want somewhere to have a coffee.

Very friendly and relaxing atmosphere, toys for young children, so mum and dad can enjoy their coffee/tea. Small meals are available for children. In the warmer weather you can sit outside and watch the children play on the local swings. Lovely place.
