Henry's Bakehouse Cafe in Stroud

Went to Henry's for the first time on Sat for a light lunch. So delighted with the service, food and atmosphere, that I returned for lunch today, Tuesday. Friendly greeting, and I ordered a black coffee and ham and cheese toastie on brown seeded bread. Now it all goes south!! Coffee arrived, and it was a murky brown colour, and taste made me think it was instant, not filtered. Only some granules on the saucer clued me in to it being allegedly filtered. After 15mins, people coming after me having received their food, I asked what was happening with my order. Apologies given, and I waited a further 10mins for the food to arrive - on white sourdough!! I mentioned my frustration to the young lady server who offered me a replacement or refund. I declined as I had already waited so long, and ate it. I recognise the place was busy with lunch service, but to forget an order, and not even update the customer, is bad service. Henry's is local to me, and the food I have ordered has been good, despite being on white bread instead of brown, but due to my experience today, I will be thinking long and hard about returning to this establishment.

Me and my wife, always love going there for b/f and cake.

Fantastic food, coffee, service and atmosphere every time.

Such a cute cafe! The service was super friendly. I enjoyed my oat latte and almond croissant.

Lovely coffee and food options!

Just popped in for a coffee and a cake. Very busy with a really friendly atmosphere. Staff all very smiley and seemed genuinely happy in their work. That makes all the difference Will definitely go back and more than happy to recommend 👍 😀 Dog friendly as well !!!!

I bought a bacon, egg and mushroom sandwich from this place and it was absolutely perfect 10/10. Friendly staff make the place really welcoming.

Paid a fortune, and was given old bread. Paid loads for a cookie, which was very average. Wouldn’t go back.

Great cafe serving nice coffee and food. Food is delicious. A definite visit if your in the area

Very nice Breakfast bun great service friendly staff very trendy

Amazing coffee shop/bakehouse/cafe. We stopped for a sandwich which was delish! Lots of people sat inside and out. Staff super welcoming, lovely selection of cakes.

Apple and sage sausage roll was lovely! Definitely worth a visit👍

Great little cafe in a charming village.

Had a wonderful breakfast here and bought pastries to go also.

Excellent location, staff are lovely Regular spot for a drink / came / breakfast or lunch Food choices include delicious gluten free and vegetarian options Locally sourced produce - great value

My treat whenever I am in Minchinhampton. Henry bangs out awesome coffees from Rave coffee in Cirencester, pastries are delicious. His mum Melissa makes some seriously good cheeses and her milk makes the coffee extra delicious. Super-friendly team, I always feel at home here. Backwards baseball caps optional.

Fantastic local cafe and shop that sells its own 'loose' milk (bring your own bottles). Henry's dad used to provide the milk and his mum the cheese, but since they retired, he had focused more on cakes! Friendly, with good quality produce. Great coffee!

Really friendly staff, amazing coffee, amazing cakes. Fantastic!

Lovely cafe, very friendly. Coffee fantastic and the Breakfast Brioche delicious. Highly recommend.

Yum. Does it need more? OK, scrummy toast, butter and jam for breakfast, cute teapots, AMAZING pastries. The only downside is not being able to spend all day there! Very popular... be prepared to queue at busy times and maybe have a takeaway and go sit somewhere sunny in picturesque Minchinhampton.

We went to Henry Bakehouse for breakfast whilst camping nearby. Our party of four all ordered the Breakfast Brioche which was some of the best breakfast food I've ever had. Juicy, flavourful, fresh and warm, with something a little special! Staff was really friendly, the coffee was delicious, and we immediately bought a bunch of cakes and sausage rolls from the counter after. Went back for snacks the next day.

Came to the cafe for the first time today and how lovely it was sitting outside in the sunshine looking onto the market place hall. Staff were very welcoming and how lovely to see they also catered well for vegans and my egg intolerance without making me feel like a person from outerspace. I had a piece of a lovely moist chocolate cake and my boyfriend a huge piece of coffee and walnut cake. Very reasonably priced so will definitely be back.

Cozy eatery/coffee house, large range of sandwiches, wraps, etc… Outside terrace and cozy places inside. Also suitable for children. Free chilled table water (self-service) highly recommended

Wonderful place to stop in. Had avo smash and a Chai latte. Both were quite good. The folks working here are quite cheerful and add a pleasent spark to the day.

My husband and I have been visiting from the U.S for a couple weeks and found this cute cafe down the road from where we’re staying. The coffee is some of the best I’ve ever had! I’m looking forward to coming back here on my next visit to England. I especially appreciated both of the male baristas who you could tell put love into the coffee they make! ☕️😊

Long wait for an average coffee. Good location and feel.

After a walk on Minchinhampton Common (which is amazing), we stopped off for a bike to eat in Henry Bakehouse Cafe in Minchinhampton. We had our dog, so initially sat outside, but unusually it was so sunny, we retreated inside for some shade. The cafe offers a fantastic choice of food - I had the focaccia wedge, served warm with Serrano ham, mozzarella, tomato, pesto and other delicious veg. It was amazing! My Earl Grey tea came in a metal teapot, and was honestly the best I’d ever tasted, so good, I bought some to take home. Other customers very tucking into mushrooms on toast with perfect poached eggs, my husband had a sausage roll which he was very impressed with. The service was so good. Friendly and helpful, and I witnessed the owner helping two elderly ladies by carrying a walker and helping them out of the shop. The bread and pastries all looked fantastic. So pleased we stopped here.

Delicious food including many vegetarian options. The staff is very friendly. Lovely terrace to enjoy your coffee in the sun

Lovely little café for morning coffee and food!

The staff and the owner are most helpful and very welcoming. The coffee is fab and the food

I went into Henry's for breakfast and found a cosy corner. It had a nice vibe. Lots of locals were there and were very friendly. I ordered avocado on toast vegan style. I was very impressed with the number of vegan options, cos I was once a vegan. My meal had delicious vegan cheese and beetroot hummus. So nice to see locals coming in and asking for their usual order. I was impressed with the friendliness of the staff, and they engaged with all the customers. I don't always leave a review, but when something is either good or bad, it's important to say.

Really lovely - great food selection, good portions (they do leftover boxes too) friendly attentive staff, very nicely fitted out dining area.

Stopped in for a coffee, very friendly service and great spot in the heart of the town.

As always, great coffee and pastries at Henry’s! Really recommend a visit for both sit-in and takeaway. Good vegan options too for both pastries and breakfasts. Not loads of seating inside so make sure to get there earlier rather than later if you want a spot!

Thank you so much for everything.

Great coffee, great cake, great service

Stopped here today as we are working locally today. The staff were super friendly and helpful and we got some friendly banter going with them. The sun was shining so we sat at a table outside. We had a sausage roll, cinnamon bun, a vanilla latte and a mint tea. Fantastic service and it all tasted great too.

Lovely place and nice coffee and food.

Gorgeous cafe serving delicious coffee! I had an amazing sausage roll although I was tempted by their vegetarian sausage roll as they look incredible, I also ate one of the delicious focaccia sandwiches which was packed with filling and was great!

Always well-sourced delicious food, served by a team of legends headed up by the inimitable Henry! Lucky to have such a great place for coffee, cake and breakfast in Minch 👌

Visited whilst touring the Cotswolds in February. Its a small cafe and may get busy in the summer Lovely bakery,café. Friendly staff, excellent cakes ,the plant based cakes are fantastic. Great, high quality sausage rolls. Well worth a visit.

I have visited this cafe 3 times and was excited to find it, especially as they cater for GF and vegan. However 2 out of the 3 visits have had really poor and unfriendly customer service. Suggest front of house staff need some customer service training 😕 Chanced it again today and had a great experience. Beautiful GF vegan cake (and not the same old GF choices of brownies or polenta). Cafe staff, cheery and welcoming. Glad to edit this review 🙂

Simply the best coffee in the Five Valleys!

Henrys is the place to be. Best for coffee and cakes and brunch. Delicious.

I have stopped only for a take away coffee (single shot latte) and I was amazed as it is one of the best coffees I ever had. I am a big coffee lover but this coffee is the best I had ever. The staff is very kind and the coffee shop is a must to visit because of it's unique vintage details!

Wonderful hot chocolate. Dry/possibly stale cake. Fairly sub-standard unfriendly service. Lovely location however.

Nice cosy place , unfortunately coffee was lukewarm at best. Will give it another go sometime

Good coffee, good lunch, good service!

Disappointing. Arrived at 2.55 and as we got to order..... the kitchen was closed. Cold sausage roll. Staff disinterested.

We’ve been coming here for years. One of our favourite cafes in the Cotswolds. Great cappuccinos and flat whites, using milk from a mile down the road. Milk, yoghurt and cream available for purchase. Yummy pastries. Good sausage roll. Amazing breakfast brioche, best I’ve ever had. Soup of the day today was butternut squash. Love sitting outside on Minchinhampton’s little market square. Absolutely recommend!

Absolutely lovely little spot. The food and coffee is amazing. 😊🙏🏼

Nice pit stop on our way to points everywhere. Got our morning cuppa, some toasties, and sat outside to watch a slice of Minchinhampton go by. Great bread and sandwiches.

Lots of lovely vegan options, great service & nice atmosphere. Well worth a visit

De viaje por los Cotswolds hemos desayunado aquí. Estaba todo buenísimo, el café, el capuccino y el mocha deliciosos y la bollería también. Esperamos poder volver antes de volver a España y probar alguna de sus tostadas que parecían deliciosas.

Lovely cafe with a great selection of baked goods and amazing sandwiches! Really rated the coffee too - worth a stop.

Lovely little coffeshop in the heart of Minchinhampton opposite the old market hall. They serve coffee, tea and cold drinks and sell cakes and sandwiches. Indoor and outdoor seating. We had a delicious focacia with smoked ham, tomatoes, and pesto, bursting with flavour.

Sandwiches look great, the coffee (RAVE - Cirencester) is excellent. I bought a sourdough loaf and devoured it in two days. The best in the area. We're definitely going back. It's super popular with locals and visitors alike, the hub of the village. Sausage rolls were good, vegan options too, doughnuts aplenty with lots of choice for other sweet treats as well. Go, you won't be disappointed.

Literally had the best breakfast of my life at Henry’s in this lovely village. Would highly recommend the scrambled egg with mushroom and feta. Sublime! Husband also loved his brioche breakfast bun. Super friendly staff. You will regret not visiting. Amazing take aways. The sausage rolls looked awesome.

Very cute small cafe with indoor and outdoor seating on the market square, good range of cakes and bread, and excellent coffee.

Very cute little cafe, I found the food to be quite pretty and delicious. There was also a good amount of options and as always the tea and coffee was great.

Lovely homemade food, very friendly

Bit cramped but very quaint and good drinks.

Been here a couple of times now. Dog friendly, service with a smile and great food!

A lovely place for afternoon coffee and cake. Polite staff and prompt service. Free parking nearby and not far from Minchinhampton Common.

Fantastic coffee and pastry for breakfast

Had great breakfasts and coffee here - mushrooms and halloumi on toast was great as was the avocado and egg. Nice local feel with friendly staff.

Best coffee in Minchinhampton. Excellent breakfasts and baked goods. Dog friendly. Get the focaccia if you can!

Firstly...very friendly staff however, service was very "ditzy" What do I mean? Well, the shop was not busy yet took an age to serve with 2 customers in front of me. Staff were giggly and not very professional. The 2 main servers hair was not tied up. Not hygienic. The chef had no customer service skills and just grunted to his colleagues when asked about the menu board which, needs updating as 2 things we wanted, soup and plant based sausages are no longer available. Service to table was slow and had to ask for cutlery.

first visit (Monday) Amazing food and coffee!!! second visit (Sunday) everything was old baked the day before. very not happy....

Great little cafe, bakery. Excellent Service, Coffee, Bread, Homemade Sausage Rolls, Cakes. And Prepaired food while you wait. Some people turn up on horses and get "Saddle Service" I would thoroughly recommend it.

Service a bit slow but food delicious

Our favorite food spot in the Stroud area! We keep coming back because the food and drinks are top notch, and we see such genuinely kind and generous service each time too. We can even do some of our grocery shopping while here. The fresh milk, eggs, butter, cream, and meat were all huge hits with our family of six. Our girls love the pastries and drinks, and we love that we don’t feel rushed in the cute cafe space with outside seating options if the day is nice. Super friendly service and just top quality all around. Cannot recommend enough!

The sun was shining and so were the staff.

Great to have low sugar options. Good quality coffee, will be returning to try the brunches!

I had a lentil soup with brown bread 🥣 Definitely smell and taste so good Feel satisfied for a cycling day lunch 🚴‍♀️ Let the gain begin 🥳

A lovely little bakehouse selling bakery item to take away and eat in foods, teas and coffees

Came in for a coffee and some lunch, great coffee & fab food. Service was good and thought the food really hit the spot for some light lunch. Will come again!

Great new find. Lovely coffee and amazing biscuits. The milk dispensing machine is a great addition to the cafe. Would highly recommend.

Great bakery and coffee shop - warm welcome, always busy but somehow empty seats always magic themselves!

Lovely cup of tea and sandwich.

Superb food, coffee, service and atmosphere, as always 👏🏻🏆

Small cafe in village, what we had was nice.

Really tasty brunch using the best local ingredients, coffees are also some of the best in the area and they don't charge extra for oat milk. Definitely keen to go back and try some of the other things on the menu

Lovely place to stop by for breakfast or lunch. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options available too! Plantbased plant based veganuary veggie veg plant-based

Brilliant service, Friendly service and fab food and coffee

What a little gem, recently moved to the area and stubbled across Henry's while out for a walk to get to know the area The food and coffee were really tasty and the staff were helpful and friendly Some lovely local bread, milk and cakes We will be back. Thank you

Great find. The staff were so friendly with an obvious pride in their work. Fresh food, delicious coffee, traditional decor. Lots of locals. Would definitely visit again!

Lovely setting will be back for coffee

We wanted to give Henry's another chance after being disappointed by the toasties, previously we found them extremely greasy and overpriced. Today they got one of our orders completely wrong, and did not have items that either of us had asked for. Admittedly we went late in the day. Personally we prefer bacon a bit crisper but that is just our preference. Once again however we found the toasties to be absolutely soaked full of grease, so intensely fatty that we both had to stop eating after a few bites. I honestly don't understand how anyone can eat those all in one sitting! Easily both the most greasy and most expensive toastie I've ever had. That, combined with the very high prices (£6 - 7.50ish for a toastie) mean we won't be coming back. Clearly we're the minority as this place gets great reviews.

Great little bakery and coffee shop. Friendly and happy place.

Excellent coffee and pastries. We also bought some locally made halloumi, and it was very good, too.

I arrived by bicycle and sat outside. The staff were really friendly. The Cake, Toasties and milkshake were excellent.

Lovely place with great staff. They serve fantastic coffee too.

Had take away coffe and two biscuits nice place to chill although I thought a tad expensive although I suppose it's like everything these days

Popped in for something to eat. We were told the kitchen had closed. However a lady in the kitchen area said she would be happy to make us some sandwiches. We accepted and had 4 fabulous sandwiches. Thank you for great customer service and sandwiches

I wasn't as impressed with this place as the Kitchen, which is 50 yards down the road. The coffee was burned, very bitter; and the brownie was dry and crumbly.

Friendly welcome for our quick stop for tasty coffee and cake.

Brilliant location, great coffee and super helpful and friendly service x

As always, friendly welcoming with all the stuff I want.

Amazing coffee, scotch eggs are to die for. Lovely and friendly staff. Great cakes as well.
