Diversitea Cafe in Cotswold

Lovely staff and lovely blueberry and lemon cake

Very nice c&c and very polite service.

Very nice coffee shop with excellent food and pretty sets for tea.

Service was poor, extremely slow and unfortunately when an order is chased the owner becomes very unprofessional and actually quite rude to customers. I would not return even if this was the only cafe in town.

Lovely food and friendly , always pop in when we’re in the area, thankyou

Excellent coffee and gluten free options. Has a country rustic feeling.

Had day trip from Derby and found this little gem.

Lovely huge cakes! Very charming old tea pots and cups and saucers. Very busy on a Monday morning so clearly popular! We will return!

Lovely little Cafe. Great menu good coffee and tea. Wonderfully eclectic cups and plates. Friendly sevice and good value.

I visited with my sister the first time and a friend plus my granddaughter this week. She needed a high hair which was available. Service is quick and the salads are amazing. Tasty. Nicely presented and a great price at £6.95 with a glass of elderflower fizz £10.20 !!! A steal in a busy trendy town ! It’s always busy but it’s not long before a tables is free. Toilets are a trek tho. Not on the same floor as the cafe.

Siamo venuti in questo fantastico caffè per colazione, che è stata fantastica. Tort e superbuone e buon te. Siamo tornati per pranzo che era davvero buono, ma meno spettacolare della colazione. Bellissima atmosfera, molto inglese

Had a great and very tasty salad and a slice of an awesome carrot cake.

After searching on Google to find a nice cafe I came across Diversitea. The food was great although one meal came out much later than the others. The coffee was amazing (it's hard to find a place that serves genuinely nice coffee). Plenty of tables and a lovely atmosphere. I will be returning.

Great place with some vegan options, nice area for coffee and lunch. Toilets are down some stairs and not sure if they have accessible ones for special needs.

My husband and I visited on a busy Saturday. We ordered at the till and the staff member who served us was very friendly. Our hot drinks arrived almost immediately which was really refreshing. A very short while later our salads arrived - we both had goats cheese and beetroot salads which were reasonably priced at £6.95 each. The food was delicious. There was a vibrant atmosphere in the cafe but it was relaxing and casual at the same time. The staff were all working hard and seemed to be on top of the busy workload. I would highly recommend.

Sat here now just finished my Coronation Chicken sandwich which I waited half an hour for. I ordered that, a jacket spud with chilli, a coke and black coffee. The food took half an hour to arrive and the drinks came after the food! (Despite chasing up where it was) My sandwich was ok. £6.25. Thought it would have a side salad or something but just had one lettuce leaf! 😂. It was nice but do put more filling in. My wife’s jacket potato was way undercooked. She had to mash it to soften it, the ‘chilli’ was one spoonful and had no flavour at all. All in all. Ultra slow service. Below average food and I feel giving a three is generous but my wife wouldn’t let me leave a two….

Staff extremely friendly and the flapjacks are to die for.

Lovely place, easily missed if they've not put the sign out as it's at the back of the market hall. A regular haunt of mine.

Had coffee and a fruit scone with jam and cream. The scone was served warm and was the best I've had. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town. Great home baking and very reasonably priced.

Having tried all the cafes in Cirencester, we keep coming back here. Wonderful homemade soup and cakes, the sandwich of the day is great and very fairly priced. Highly recommend, it's in the Corn Hall.

Having tried all of the cafe's in Cirencester, this is without doubt the best. Great food, lovely staff and very fair prices. Soup of the day is always wonderful as is the sandwich of the day. Great cakes too. Highly recommend.

Nice little cafe, friendly staff and nice choice of cakes and other cafe food. Big selection of teas. The only thing wrong is there are too many chairs and tables which makes it hard to get around in there l.

I booked this and was insulted by being asked if I knew what afternoon tea was...... (I should have cancelled there and then) booked for 4 people this is what I was served for £80.00. Presentation was poor, everything was rammed on the plates and cake slices were cut into smaller portions. I have had many afternoon tea's and served my own this was not worth the money which is such a shame as we were treating family.

Staff amazing Karen and team 👏 must come here and enjoy cream teas and different teas Made mums and wives very happy .. means we are very happy ... Raj xx

I’m surprised to read the largely positive reviews of this place. I found it underwhelming and seriously overpriced. £7.95 for a bowl of soup is excessive. £8.95 for a jacket potato with some miserable green leaves on the side is just ridiculous. The jacket potato was undercooked and not baked. Very poor selection of vegetarian food. Based on their fare and the quality, their prices are about 40 percent more than they should be. Avoid.

Popped in here for a coffee stop whilst exploring the town. We had wanted to find somewhere that wasn’t a big chain and was community oriented and this seemed like the spot. Service was polite and helpful, we enjoyed a nice coffee and chocolate cake amongst the bustle of a busy cafe, we instantly felt welcome and it was exactly what we were looking for.

We ate here two days running. My husband came again for the chocolate cake! There is a fabulous selection of cakes. I had a scone and jam the second time. It came nicely warmed with plenty of butter and jam. Scrumptious. The staff are efficient and friendly.

Busy little cafe inside the Corn Hall. Nice coffee and cake. Friendly staff, dog friendly.

Always enjoyed going here until we were there today , food good but the service was awful! We were met with rudeness from staff because we had to ask for the tea which they'd forgotten about! won't be going back to this place and that's a shame

Love this place, everyone so friendly and a good menu to suit everyone. Sadly the paninies on this occasion were disappointing as very little filling. After it was mention, more filling was added.

Charming tea room located in what appears to have been a grain market. Very pleasant team. Sandwiches, soups, toast, cakes of all kinds and various teas.

Lovely hidden little gem. Cakes to die for and friendly staff!

This is a hidden gem inside the corn hall , family run,all local traditional baked cake's, like Victoria sponge, carrot cake and much more,also soups of the day,or if you're taste is panini they have a wide choice,

Food all homemade and lovely, teas and coffee also good. Staff friendly and efficient

We had an afternoon tea for 3 delivered to our Airbnb. The sandwiches were amazing. There were a great variety and a generous amount. The scones were light and airy and so yummy. The brownie was decadent and perfectly gooey, the flapjacks were full of flavour and not too buttery and the coconut sponge was also a delight. I would thoroughly recommend. I would also try and go to the cafe next time to enjoy the atmosphere there

Cosy little tea room with some incredible milkshakes. Great speedy service. Would definitely recommend.

Nice cool breeze came through the open fire door. Coffee cake toasties milkshake really lush

Lovely cafe. Well worth a visit.

Usually a really nice experience. But very disappointed today. Ordered a Latte and pot of tea with two scones. Drinks came out at least 10 minutes before our scones. Then the scones were not up to the standard we have come to expect. It was like eating a warm lump of dough.

went two weeks ago, good food, clean well turned-out staff, reasonable prices and do vegan cheese toasties (inc cheese, marmite and red onion !!!) Coffee with hot oat milk available.

Locals eat here! Mostly homemade. We had tomato soup and a scone, both of which were excellent. Entry thru Corn Exchange. Disabled access with lift to lower ground toilets.

Been more than once and when attending Cirencester on a market day. On the last time on a cold day I had the soup with a chunk of bread. Tasty , warming, and good value

Fantastic, 2nd visit,great service and good food.We will definitely go in again when we're in that area.

Cosy! Pleasant atmosphere with friendly staff... beautiful teapot :)

I always head for Diversitea whenever I visit Cirencester. It's ideally situated in the heart of the town behind the Market Hall. The tempting cakes and light lunches are excellent, all served in elegant chinaware. The staff are consistently pleasant and welcoming.

Felt expensive for two cups of tea and flapjack made of cornflakes. There are other options in Cirencester which we prefer.

Lovely peaceful cafe, this is what all cafe's are meant to be like. Staff and other customers were super friendly. Definitely a highlight of my first time being in Cirencester. Highly recommend!!

Cosy clean cafe. Great service and lovely fresh tasty food. Staff are friendly and you can easily hold a normal conversation without having to raise your voices. Recommended. Especially interesting as there is antiques market on today.

Pleasant staff, great sandwich and toastie , good value.

Wonderful little place. Great coffees and hot chocolate, and the best value light meal anywhere (Falafel salad). Great service and ambience. The prices are amazing. I personally don't buy into any anti-social Covid "measures" but what this place does is unobtrusive and doesn't detract from the experience.

Always very good service and food.

Staff cheerful coffee is good would recommend the place.

Great coffee, great service and a bloody good bacon bap!

Lovely clean place with good food

Great salad with goats cheese, beetroot and walnuts, large filling bowl. Partner had a ham and cheese toastie and with two drinks £ 14. Relaxing unhurried ambiance. Lots of vegan choices too. Friendly staff. Great little find.

They cater for everyone - not easy to find lunch spots as a gluten free vegetarian but Diversitea was perfect! Fantastic value, good and quick service, delicious food. Would really recommend.

A light lunch for 4. A great spot tucked away in the centre of Cirencester. Toasted sandwiches and Paninis fitted the bill together with milkshakes and coffee. Just right for Lunchtime. Pleasant attentive staff - good quality food. Thanks

Diversitea is a great find in Cirencester if you are someone who suffers from allergies or intolerances! Usually I'm unable to find anything suitable, but today I was throughly surprised. I had a Vegan Coffee Milkshake (first one I've ever had from a shop!) and a lovely Orange and Almond cake. They had lots of options for lunch but the cake was filling enough, so I will definitely be back to sample some more vegan treats

I frequently visit Diversitea with my son, the staff are always so friendly, make conversation, and the food, coffee and cake are always amazing. The outside area that has been recently added due to restrictions is lovely and gives shelter to the wet/cold weather. I love this cafe and will continue to keep coming back!

After a few months of staying in it was lovely to visit Cirencester and we decided on here for lunch. Obviously, due to current restrictions, we had to sit outside and go in to order. The tearoom is located through The Cornhall but is badly signposted and you need to walk past shoppers and stalls to access it.I approached the counter to give my order and was met with less than an enthusiastic response from the two staff. I asked if it was table service to be told that I would have to stand at the counter and wait for my order to be made. I was given my coffee and duly waited....After some time I could see that my order wasn't being prepared so I told the staff member that I would go outside to tell my friend to come in and order (she was outside saving a table). On walking out another staff member, somewhat rudely said "Aren't you going to wait?" I explained what I was doing and carried my hot coffee, minus a lid, back through The Cornhall.My friend then went in to order and was told it WAS table service! In the meantime my order arrived, a panini with stringy bacon and a few leaves, and I had to eat it whilst waiting for my friend to receive her lunch.I do appreciate that certain adaptations need to be made at the moment but I do not appreciate the attitude and service of the staff towards me.I'm afraid I would not recommend the tearoom at the moment and will not be returning.

Fantastic afternoon tea delivered today, very reasonable price and plentiful, beautiful food. Thank you

Ideal coffee stop especially if you’re visiting the Craft fair Great choice of cakes to suit vegans as well. Light bites. Lots of nice areas to sit and great social spacing.

This cafe located in the old Corn Hall serves a nice variety of teas, delcious sandwiches and tasty soups

Visited here for a bite to eat at lunchtime. Lovely quirky surroundings. Good drinks and delicious cake. What’s not to like ?

Popped in for tea and cake, a heavenly choice. Delicious. Good prices, great atmosphere, pleasant surroundings and friendly staff.

Went in on a wet Wednesday just to have a cup of tea to warm up,What a find lovely tea in a proper cup.we also took 2 slices of vegan fruit cake which looked so nice & tempting(we are not vegans) had them the next day.best cake ever tasted definitely going back for more

We went to Cirencester for a 2 day trip & ended up in Diversitea 3 times! The Victoria sponge was the best we have had for years. Scones were good too & drinks spot on. The staff were all very friendly & if we ever went to Cirencester again we would go there & nowhere else for a cuppa & cake etc.

Visiting in my wheelchair and with my assistance dog solo was a breeze thanks to a ramp and accessible height tables. Top marks for inclusivity. Superb service with a smile and a wonderful range of teas. WELL WORTH A VISIT

Stopped off on Saturday afternoon for tea, crumpets and honey. It was very busy but everything came out quickly was was very good. I had standard tea and my partner soem form of chai tea which we both enjoyed.

Tucked away in the back of the Corn Hall, a nice little cafe with an eclectic mix of furniture. A nice rest from the chain coffee shops of today. A coffee, a sandwich, and a cake each cost £18, which is good value. The staff a welcoming and polite, and the area clean

Can highly recommend this cafe for service, quality and value. Had a delicious bacon sandwich this visit previously have had soya milk porridge. Were really good regarding food allergies/intolerances.

What a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, quaint without being too delicate. Served by friendly knowledgeable staff. Food and drinks were great too.

Great dog friendly cafe offering fantastic coffee and toasties to die for. We visit Cirencester a lot so will definitely be back.

¡Encontré la sala de té británica por excelencia en la esquina del mercado de maíz en un concurrido y lluvioso sábado por la mañana! Me encanta apoyar a los locales, así que me encantó encontrar un lugar por casualidad que fuera amigable para los perros, para los niños y para los veganos. ¡A veces puede ser bastante difícil para nosotros encontrar un café que satisfaga todas nuestras "demandas"! Aunque no era un vegano en toda regla, ¡era encantador ver muchas opciones veganas disponibles si quisiera tenerlas!¡Los pasteles eran absolutamente divinos y mi té fue servido en una tetera junto con la barbilla de hueso, una taza y un platillo! ¿Un montón de recuerdos nostálgicos en las paredes y un ajetreo y bullicio tan encantador de clientes disfrutando?

Es muy agradable encontrar un nuevo lugar para reunirse con amigos. Diversitea está escondida en la parte trasera del Salón del Maíz. . . Cuando están abiertos, principalmente los fines de semana. . . Y tiene mucho encanto. El personal es encantador y la persona que hace los pasteles tiene muy "dedos ligeros". Las esponjas y el pastel de zanahoria son una maravilla. Los florentinos son los mejores que he probado en mucho tiempo.Estaremos de vuelta pronto

.. of the Corn Hall off Market St, we enjoyed our visit. We both had cream tea which was very nice with lovely clotted cream. Service was very quick and friendly. Would go again.

The best tea loaf I've ever tasted - and I've tried a few - the lovely waitress said her mum had made it. A perfect cup of americano coffee. Very friendly service and very fair prices. I wish I lived closer.

Thank you ladies for a lovely pot of tea and lovely sandwiches, freshly made and tea freshly brewed, one china cups and saucers, a real treat. Really enjoyed our lunch here.

The sandwiches here were very good and the drinks were too, friendly service and not badly priced either

I wouldn't describe it as a hidden gem. However, I had a lovely ham and cheese sandwich, which was reasonably priced and brought to the table by a very pleasant lady.

2 lattes and orange cake to die for!! Served by lovely friendly ladies. Highly recommended. Hidden away at the back of the Cornmill?? building well worth a visit

Stopped by with my wife for a quick snack and drink. Offered mug or pot of tea. I asked what the difference was (besides the obvious) and the answer was £1. £2.50 in pot and £1.50 in mug. Seemed the volume was the same, and both used just one tea bag. Even though I asked for a mug I was still charged for a pot! My wife had an Early Grey and wasn't offered the choice, so it was a pot for her. We each had a panini with cheese and pesto. Very disappointing, hardly any cheese, and at £4.95 each very expensive.

Tucked away at the back of the Corn Hall Market is this super cafe with pleasent staff and a good choice of cakes. Easy chairs made for a cosy environment. Well worth seeking this cafe out and walking through the varied market stalls.

Popped in for coffee and a light bite, the staff were friendly and helpful, I wanted soup but not the bread so they reduced the price, and the bowl was huge. Parsnip with a hint of honey and spice! Amazing! Filling and tasty. Hubby had teacakes with a generous portion of butter and jam. Great find x

Tucked away in the Corn Hall this charmingly quirky little eatery caught our eye. Not a huge menu but a nice selection of sandwiches, toasties and panini's, all-day breakfast items and an array of home-made cakes on offer. The only thing that let it down a little was the quality of the latte, more foam than coffee. i would have sent it back but my son didn't want to make a fuss. Very reasonably priced and great to see a place that is willing to employ younger staff.

I had not realised that the staff were preparing to close when I walked in and ordered my coffee. But that did not affect them at all. I was greeted with a friendly smile and was not pressurised to finish my coffee quickly. However I did realise that other stall holders were packing up so I did not linger this time. (this was my second visit!) I also complimented my coffee with a delicious sugary snack!!

We found Diversitea by accident whilst visiting the Corn Hall in Cirencester and stayed for a light lunch. Full of character with excellent service and tasty food.

In a town full of coffee of shops this unassuming tea shop provides delicious homemade cakes and sandwiches, served with a smile and good value fir money (reviewed by my mum)

Heard some reviews on great tea options of this little cafe so had to visit and see. On walking in there was no ambiance and all felt a little awkward, how ever let’s get on and order and try their tea/coffee as that’s what’s important, well my partners coffee was too hot the milk just on the burnt side, and my tea was unfortunately the weakest tea I’ve ever tasted :( it was like having a pot of hot water even after sitting for a while or popping the tea bag in my cup!! Nearly asked for a slice of lemon just so my hot water had some flavour, how ever in the end just had about 4 mouthfuls and gave up and left the rest. My partner tried their brownie which was lovely according to him so there was a plus side to the visit, how ever I feel maybe a bit more background research into their teas could really help this little place. Just wasn’t for me though and won’t be back.

The Diversitea Cafe is located in the old Corn Exchange at Cirencester,the town is well worth a visit with plenty of shops a lovely Church and museum. The Corn exchange has regular arts & craft and antique days and this little cafe which has an excellent selection of snacks and the best Victoria Sponge on the planet with all at very reasonable prices and first class service.

We dropped in again whilst on holiday, and just as before the lunch, drinks and cake was superb. Friendly staff, great welcome and a little quirky, what's not to like? All in the back of the Corn Hall. Highly recommend it to all

We stumbled upon this little café when we were looking for a coffee stop. It looked so good that we had a spot of lunch there as well. The kids loved the toast and crumpets whilst my wife and I had the carrot and coriander soup of the day. Lovely place with friendly service too.

Today’s trip was really fantastic , me and my family really enjoyed it. We would definitely come here again.

We are regular visitors to Cirencester to visit the markets etc after we have a sandwich and tea at Diversitea for something to eat and drink. I ordered a Ham and cheese sandwich £3.50 and two teas £5. I think the tea is too expensive ( I know it comes in bone china cups etc ) but it is only tea`.The bread was not fresh and the tea only warm, maybe the water wasn't boiled ???.I think we will try another Cafe just up the road next time.

Lovely little gem this right in the centre of Cirencester . We had Cream teas served on fine China and the clotted cream teas were awesome will be here again

A small café with a style that is in keeping with the craft market of which it is part. We had a mid-morning coffee and tea, and bacon sandwich, which was excellent.

I only had a hot choc which was lovely as believe me some places are pants. My friend had a tea in a proper bone china cup & saucer with a sanga, she enjoyed. Lovely friendly service, some different choice to drink which was impressive. Loved the Christmas tree with teacups on. Loved the atmosphere & warmth of this caff, so quirky & very cool.

We visited Cirencester again to try out Diversitea after looking around the market outside the church. we ordered a Cheese tomato and onion sandwich with two teas (served in bone china cups and teapots ). Plenty of filling with fresh bread and a small leaf salad, no problems with food.Although nice food the menu is quite small, not a good variety of food on offer.

This tea room has a lovely atmosphere. My friends and I came here for afternoon drinks. Two of us had cream tea. They were the best scones with clotted cream and jam that I've ever had. We will certainly be back when we are in Cirencester again.

Biggest sandwiches i've ever had for an afternoon tea - you'll find no finger sandwiches here haha Absolutely loved it, very impressed. Scones were warm (always added points when that happens) Will definitely be returning!
