Huffkins in West Oxfordshire

Logan and Terry were superb. They were very attentive and they were very happy. Great service. They served us quickly and efficiently and made us feel very welcome. Will definitely return.

A very disappointing visit. I had booked afternoon tea as a treat for my daughter. When booking I asked if they could provide a gluten free tea as my daughter has coeliac disease. I was assured that it was no problem. On arrival we were initially told that they had no gluten free bread, scones or cake. The waitress was very apologetic and did eventually find chocolate brownie which turned out to be gluten free, but not exactly the treat I’d planned. I was very surprised as many places, tea rooms included, can cope with a gluten free afternoon tea. It is not an unusual request and their menu does say to inform staff of any dietary requirements. I feel this is a sad reflection on an establishment that normally provides excellent food.

Walked in and asked for a table for two and two dogs on at lunchtime on 26 March 2024. We were offered a table in the busy part of the cafe with little space for the dogs. Thinking of their customers and given the rear part was empty, I asked if dogs were allowed in the rear part, to be greeted by a very gruff non-courteous response “Well it’s just I’m on my own”. At this point we left responding “We will leave you in peace”. All very disappointing as we have visited numerous times before.

The service was good, given there was only 2 servers. The food quality is very average. Was hoping for more, given how it pitches itself and were it is. The prices are top heavy for sure. Around £10 more expensive for the same food and drink at lots of other places. We would not return here.

イギリスのスコーンを楽しみに来店。 夫とシェアしようと思って、クリームティーと単品の飲み物を頼んだけど、クリームティーが2セットになっていた。英語がわからないため変更を断念したが、とても美味しかった。

Famous for it's cream teas and cakes Huffkins is well known in the Cotswolds and even has a restaurant in John Lewis in Cheltenham! The picture is of a Cotswold cream tea. Which is, by their standards a modest version of their cream tea featuring a sandwich of your choice, scones and cream and jam and a pot of tea. All at a reasonable price. Their celebration afternoon tea is impressive and if you fancy it, it's probably worth booking. I'd suggest not eating for the whole day before you go because it's enormous! This restaurant in Burford is perfectly fine, but like most of the shops in Burford, you can't help but think they are more geared towards tourists than locals. It's perfectly pleasant, but lacks a bit of soul.

Full english breakfast was ordered with a pot of tea at £14.95 with pleasant staff who seated me quickly. Tea arrived in a few minutes followed quickly by the breakfast Glad to see crispy bacon as requested but given the excellent breakfast disappointment that the poached eggs were cool This might be down to the extra time taken for the bacon?? Overall thought the best place for breakfast in Burford and will certainly be back

The food here was the tea and the bread was perfect combination! Like the interior!

Great food and ambiance for easy popping in to.

We had a lovely visit today, the food and service was excellent, it was a wet and windy day so not many people about so the atmosphere was lacking inside also it was chilly sitting by the windows. But we will be back to try the afternoon tea

We actually went to the Huffkins Tea Room in Burford. The cappuccino was awful. I think they used longlife milk and hardly any coffee. We couldn't drink it.

The coffee was awful. We had a cappuccino each and it tasted like long life milk was used and it was far too milky. I couldn't drink it.

Stupidly expensive for the level of service. At that cost, you'd think they could afford to heat the place and have more than one member of staff.

Amazing afternoon tea as always

We visited for lunch and after a short wait were seated, at a table not big enough and an extra chair put on the end (there were bigger tables available) which we didn't mind as previous experiences have been great so being squished is worth the decent food. We all ordered the daily special soup - only to be told upon ordering that there isn't any. If that is the case, take it off the specials board and remove the card from all the tables advertising it. Or, the server should have informed us of this when we were seated. I was unable to eat anything else due to being in a crohns flare and specifically went there so I could have the soup - if we had been informed when we arrived we could have gone elsewhere. As it was, by this point we did not have time due to commitments so I had to go without whilst the rest of our party ate. My partners salad was missing half the ingredients and a tiny portion. My father in laws Victoria sponge was missing a large chunk out of the bottom of it. When I took my daughter to the toilet - all three of which were filthy - there was a very large Stanley knife on the floor in the baby changing toilet with the blade exposed. We bought this to the attention of a waitress who literally laughed! I have attached a photo for your reference. Really poor experience and service that has left a bad taste in my mouth and we won't be visiting again

The best high tea we’ve had in the UK! We only had the small set this time as we were not very hungry.

Had breakfast here on a Saturday morning. Greeted well and ordered at the counter as requested. We expected to pay more than other places, that's fine, it wasn't a surprise. However, the quality of food was appalling. Sausage and hash brown was like something from a back street burger van. Very greasy bacon and over cooked poached egg. Tea cup had lipstick on it, which isn't the end of the world, these things happen. Food took quite a while to arrive which isn't a huge issue, but when linked with the shockingly poor quality food, and dirty cup, this place was really really poor. I don't doubt other reviews about this place, but I will never eat at this place again.

It was a lovely afternoon tea. The Huffkins team was attentive and kind. The food was delicious and well balanced. We enjoyed it very much and would go back!

Visited here while in burford for a few days Service and food is ok we had cream tea And was happy with it Only draw back it can take a while to get your drinks and food etc but overall is good

Haven’t been for a while as don’t live near brought mum for her 80 th birthday food good and service but the place was looking tired inside we sat in the back no atmosphere table and chairs looked old shame

I ‘popped’ in to Huffkins takeaway to get a few hot drinks whilst walking around Burford with some friends and unfortunately had a very bad experience. This was due to a very inexperienced member of staff who had been left unsupervised over lunchtime service. Not only did the drinks take approximately 10 minutes to make, but they did not even remotely resemble coffee, more like luke warm milky water. I was in there for 20 mins in total, with one other customer ahead of me, who also had the same experience. Do not waste your time or money - there are plenty of other really wonderful coffee shops in Burford that are far better.

Were given a table straight away, the staff were really friendly and helpful and the food was gorgeous, being served with next to no delay. Very highly recommended and will definitely be popping in again very soon !

Great place to take my American friends for. their first English Cream Tea

Excellent soup and cheese scone, and excellent staff who were a credit to Huffkins! All in all….excellent!

Great little place in Burford, Staff was a bit rushed off their feet and questioned what we ordered when we said we was missing somethings

Rather average cafe. Lacks atmosphere or warmth. Staff were functional rather than friendly. Microwaved heated scones. Coffee was distinctly average. I’m sure there are other cafes in Burford that are more inviting.

What happened to hufkins??? They used to sell quality local produce and lots of it for their breakfast, now I am not sure what the bacon was but really? Served cold with soggy bread. Disappointed . Has quality been sacrificed for expansion?

A truly English 🌹 experience.Our overseas guests should experience this ..

A little gem in Burford. A wonderful traditional English tea room, a place to relax and enjoy.

A lovely tearoom with great staff and great food. Had the butternut squash and sweet potato soup with cheese scone, wonderful! Highly recommend.

Went for breakfast with my wife 12 Nov 10am. Full English breakfast: £13 but not worth it… 1 poached egg runny and one not. (Both tiny) Cheap hash browns. Basic sausage, would have expected butchers sausage or something meatier. Beans ok. Bacon very fatty and not too enjoyable. Ketchup quite runny and not tasty. Poached eggs and avocado: £12, again 1 egg runny and 1 hard. Avacado way too cold which made the eggs cold, needed to be sat out from the fridge for a bit. (Plates are cold too so eat fast) Flat white coffees: their coffee is very bitter and tastes similar to Turkish coffee. All in all £35 which is ok for quality but this fell well below that level. I think the many breakfast offerings at the Burford hotels would be a better bet. Maybe huffkin’s focus is on the cakes and pastries? On the positive side, the best thing was the lovely welcome from the guy at the entrance and the chairs were comfy.

The staff were wonderful and friendly. I had the best service ever . The afternoon tea was scrumptious, super yummy, taste bud dancing and delicious. The highlight was that Coffee eclair. It was snapped up quickly by me. The combination of cream and sweetness of the coffee infused icing was perfect. I will certainly come again. Huffs is the best shop in Burford

Lovely coffee, good service but £11 for a microwaved cheese scone with a bit of butter & chutney. Scones should never be microwaved! they turn rubbery. Totally spoiled it.

Very busy tea room. Not worth the price. Scone is good that was the only positive. Toilet was out of service. The service was slow and staff looks like very busy and under stress. That was the first (and last) celebration afternoon tea at Huffkins..

Very nice coffee and cakes at Huffkins.

Friendly staff, cosy atmosphere, right in the middle of High Street. We loved the Cream Tea experience!

Overpriced tea room. Scones and tea were average and overpriced.

Lovely place for a light lunch. We had to queue for a bit but there were 6 of us. Very tasty toasties. The cakes looked good too.

I came to huffkins on Saturday I had an amazing experience and was looked after beautifully by the staff.quaint little place and lovely staff. and the chutney is to die for

The staff were friendly and efficient, but sadly the ambience is not what it was. The shop side used to sell a whole range of baking, but hardly anything is left. We found the same situation at Stow on the Wold.

I have known Huffkins for as long as I d lived here, I think my first ever afternoon tea was here. So when I need to organise an afternoon tea for a load of ladies to celebrate our friends 50th, I naturally chose Huffkins. Firstly, customer service was excellent, emailing to make the booking and hold the table. It was super simple, great communication and very accommodating.. huffkins has lost a few of its traditional touches like full table service, so you need to order either from an app or the desk, a sign of the tines, so didn't bother me, it hasn't, however, lost its impeccable service, very lovely ladies who couldn't do enough for us fussy bunch. The afternoon tea is stunning beautiful sandwiches of lots of different fillings, freshly baked, warm scones, and lots of different cakes. The traditional is a huge portion so (some, not me) ended up taking some of it home. My favourite thing was the never-ending teapot, drinks are refilled on a traditional. We weren't rushed along and so spent a lovely time catching up and eating cake. Highly recommend it was a special afternoon. Thank you .

A lovely Huffkins, came here on a Thursday morning and was completely empty, staff were efficient and attentive. Food was the reason it’s not five star, though we were the first customers of the day a lot of the food tasted stale and dry. I’m not sure if they gave us leftovers from the previous day or if the food was just low quality. It tasted fine and was a nice little morning treat and I know that usually their breakfasts are fabulous so highly recommend.

Amazing food and incredible service. The young French waiter in particular was very friendly and polite. Some of the best service we’ve received anywhere!

Tea and scones excellent. Very fresh and tasty, served quickly by efficient, polite and friendly staff. What's not to like!

Excellent food, lovely staff and nice vibe. Jason was extremely friendly and helpful. Will be back!

Was great service. Mary was very helpful . Really clean. Quick service. Staff very helpful. A good range of cakes and drinks

Very good service nice staff carry nice cake nice tea I would rate it a five star place share with other people

We visited Huffkins for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised. The place was welcoming by friendly staff and was clean and tidy. The waitor promptly took our order so didn’t have to wait long at all. We had the full english which was delicious! All locally sauced ingredients which were beautiful and reasonably priced for the tourist location. The staff were tentitive throughout our visit which is always a good sign. The drinks were also delicious! We will be back for sure!

Had a lovely breakfast at Huffkins in Burford. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the breakfast, coffee and milkshakes were delicious. We will be back.

Nice cosy place for a meal. The food was well presented and delicious.

Extremely polite and very friendly. Cream tea and coronation sandwiches tasted wonderful, the complimentary orange juice (with bits - my favourite) was a bonus. Thank you

The staff were unaware that we had booked afternoon tea. On being made aware staff became attentive, the food was ok but the whole meal lacked finesse which made the experience both pricey and a disappointment

Over rated. A pasty, some crisps and about 3 lettuce leaves as a supposed mixed salad cost £9.95. Even worse a reformed chicken ceaser salad bun @ £13.95. The wait for the meal was over 30 minutes. There seemed little care of the quality and cost and more about excessive passing customers. Extortionate. The pot of tea was good quality and very tasty

Food very average and front of house was very unexperienced and stressy. Will not be returning. People were lined up and shouted at to stand on the left hand side. Empty tables uncleared. Seemed to be plenty of staff but they were just a shambles. Such a shame.

Good atmosphere, coffee/tea and especially the scones.

We’ve been regular customers of Huffkins since the mid 90s and I regret to say the place is simply not the same. Gone are the days of when you were greeted by a friendly waitress or waiter. It’s very much pick what you want and try to remember it when you get to the till to order. The meal we had was hugely disappointing. We ordered 2 cheese and ham toasties a latte and tea. When the meal arrived it was a piece of toast (best described as Luke warm and limp). The filling was a cheese slice and a non descript piece of ham, some limp lettuce and crisps! It was my birthday and we left with a very disappointing taste in the mouth. All for the princely sum of £30. We remember Topsy fondly. Since she handed over the reins it’s not the same anymore.

The experience was, frankly not only disappointing but a total waste of money. When ordering it took three attempts to get an order of two teas, two lattes, poached eggs and avocado with bacon and three full English breakfast correct. The tea and coffees took...

We waited for a table and after 5 minutes we were seated, ok so far so good. We sat and we sat and we sat for 20 minutes until inquiring about the lack of service. We were told that we needed to order at the counter! The young man who seated us never mentioned it but once told we did see this notification at the bottom of the menu and on a small silver item not placed where we could see it. How about a bigger sign that no one can miss when you walk in? On the other hand, the tea and scone were very good. While eating, we heard the young man inform everyone that he seated from then on how the ordering process works.

Staff were friendly and professional. Food tasty but a bit pricey although that is to be expected in a very touristy area such as The Cotswolds. No disabled/accessible toilet facilities, they were up a steep staircase.

charming restaurant on Burford high street with decent food and delightfully welcomed and served by Justin and his chum

I love scone. It is very yummy.

Had the afternoon tea and it was so good! The spicy tomato and caramelised onion chutney sandwich was to die for, unlimited refills of drinks with the afternoon tea made it all the better! Staff were lovely and so kind, very attentive and the store was very clean. Had a lovely experience 10/10 would come again.

The scones were phenomenal and the service was impeccable. A special shout-out to Mary who managed to juggled many orders at once without missing a beat.

Exquisite food and customer service out of this world! They went above and beyond to make out afternoon tea hen party amazing! Highly recommended and will definitely visit again!

Tasty food and very friendly service by the great staff. Felt a bit pricey though hence 4 stars not 5, best part of £12-£13 for breakfast/ brunch £4 for coffee £5 for a bun But I suppose we’re down south here!

Not what it used to be, never returned to its pre covid charm. It’s now cold and uninviting inside , no more wonderful cakes and bakes on display, bare walls and dingy lighting. Over the last few years we have tried it again a few...

Great welcome & very friendly, even the dog! Delicious food.

A shadow of its former self. Used to visit all the time for breakfast or lunch. Now a reduced menu just catering for tourists. Left before ordering as the menu offered little. So many other local places to try over this former gem.

従業員の若い女性は偉そうでいい気持ちはしませんでした。 スコーンは美味しいですが、アフタヌーンティーのサンドイッチが物凄く不味い。 パンはパサパサで、具は味気なく美味しくなかった。

We stopped to have a lunch today young man who served coffee was polite. However lady less so we wasnt told by her they had another place next door for food. Even though we asked to be seated out the back. Coffee was cold i know its not supposed to be served really hot however luck warm would have been nice, also was like syrup measurment was all wrong. Food had a basic tuna sandwich, stale bread no butter, salad unwashed. Asked for mayo never turned up. No one asked if we were ok. Otherwise i would have said hence the stars.

We travelled from London for a family trip and had planned to visit to Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens. We were a bit late so wanted to have the lunch on the go. Saw the "Huffkins" bakery and ordered a mix of 6 sandwiches and toasties which costed under £30 (takeaway). The bakery was pretty much empty as there we only a few tables at the front occupied and all the tables at the back were empty! We were asked to wait 10 mins as our takeaway was being prepared. We sat down around an empty table and waited for the food to be ready. The server handed our food to us and we said hey these are toasted sandwiches what if we quickly eat as the are served hot and we were hungry too! We took a seat and one of us checked with the server, he said it's quiet so should be fine. He was kind enough to bring us some tissues as well. 2 mins after another staff came to us and said it's their policy that they charge "eat-in" price as we decided to eat from our pastry bags! We said its fair and happy to pay the difference, thinking it will be 20% of £30, max! This second server came with a bill of £27 and some change for a £30 food bill! I mean we are used with Eat-in/Takeaway price but come on! We decided to leave within 4-5 mins of sitting down and as originally planned had the sandwiches on the go. They were happy to show us a wave good bye! Hence my review, tasty food but be aware of their price policy!

I meet here regularly for lunch. Its just right. They always take good care of us. Good gluten free options too.

NOT value for money. We visited this location a few years ago and had a lovely experience. However, today, the same cannot be said. I appreciate that the cost of things rise, and that some businesses truly struggled during the pandemic, but to pass that extreme cost onto your customers and then some is not a good way to run your local business. Stinging people who choose to frequent your establishment is bad practice. Won't be coming back next time we visit the area.

Ok so lovely little place, nice food pleasant staff, unfortunately yet again that spreading stink of corporation, did not take cash !!! What is so wrong with cash? Don't they trust the staff? Have they not got a competent manager? Who can count? What ever the reason I use cash and if it hadn't been for the fact I'd been driving for 2 1/2 hours I would have gone somewhere else.

a must go place if you are in Cotswold. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Lovely place especially the outdoor backyard seating.

Went to huffkins one Saturday, late morning. Staff were very accommodating and efficient. My party and I ordered full English breakfasts. It was 10 out of 10, and all plates were clean

Went for a cream tea here on Wednesday 10th August. On arrival we were told there would be a 10-15 minute wait for food. We ordered 2 cream teas, 1 with a fruit scone the other savoury. After 25 minutes we had not received our order, despite other tables who ordered after us receiving their food. We decided to leave, and asked for a refund. We were told that only the manager can do refunds. After another 5 minutes waiting, we were told the refund had been done and would go straight into our account. Look at our account today we have not received any refund and actually the money has been credited to huffkins account. Did not think serving a scone and a cup of tea would be such a trauma. Plus their prices are way too expensive.

Lovely food, fantastic service and the young man who served us was very polite and had great customer service skills. Nothing was too much trouble. His name was Ethan and a big shout out for him. A little overpriced but you get what you pay for.

Fantastic staff and service, I recommend people book a reservation and have cream tea. The menu was well rounded and there were so many treats to choose from, looking over at other tables breakfasts I will be coming back, it looked incredible! Really worth a visit you will not be disappointed.

Great location burford pet friendly outside courtyard, nice lunch & drinks would recommend staff could do with additional member lunchtime service rush.

Delicious, fresh scones and good coffee, and they were happy to let our dog join us (well-behaved on a lead). Even a GF* option on the scones, which was soft and tasty. *described as ‘very low gluten’, but I had no reaction.

Huffkins is a lovely cafe and bakery in a beautiful location. I often meet my sister there and lunch is a treat, plus they have GF options. I left my purse there recently and they were so helpful and sent it back to me. I would recommend them

Arrived for brunch with family, and were quickly seated. All agreed that the food was good, and there was a wide range of speciality teas on offer. One little criticism: we thought the huffkin with poached eggs and bacon could have had a more generous...

Overpriced food, pretty good service but £11 for a toastie is too much

I meet my sister at Huffkins in Burford when we can. It is always a treat. A lovely little tea shop selling great lunches and delicious cakes including gluten free. I left my purse there and the manager had kept it safely and then sent...

So disappointed to find our favourite place for a treat has lost all its charm. Empty seats on a Friday lunchtime made me wonder what was going on. Then I saw the menu- lots of favourite items gone and replaced by overpriced small portions which...

Just had a black coffee so hard to judge. Good coffee and service

£18 for a “chicken sandwich” & a “coke” aka panda pop absolute rip off. I don’t mind paying for quality but my father paid £9 for a pasty…this was essentially a peters pasty heated up in the microwave! Don’t bother going

Well presented, nice staff and good ambiance but the food was lacking in all of our dishes unfortunately.

Lovely place on the high street. Cafe next door to the main restaurant. We went to the cafe and had chai lattes, croissant and sausage roll. Were told straight away that they were only doing take away but we were allowed to sit in the garden. Lovely location and venue. Dog friendly too which was great. Food was nice and they heated our food up too. Average to expensive in price. Menu next door looked nice, bit on the expensive side. Lovely high street to wander round too.

This place is in the nature of being a Tea Shop and a Bakery rolled into one. It is perfect for Afternoon Tea and light snack type meals. We found the staff to be accommodating and helpful. The service was reasonably quick. The food was...

Whilst a little pricey, good food and exceptional service. Your Huffkins tea bags could have a bit more tea in them though

Tasty food, excellent service. Burford Rarebit was very good. It had a strong flavour, enough cheese and good bread

Lovely cream tea and cakes. I loved the iced hazelnut latte. Great outdoor space. The staff here were friendly and accommodating. We attended for a Hen Do and could move tables together outside.

Nice back garden, the Lardy cake is a must have

Lovely cakes and coffee, staff are very welcoming and happy. Dog friendly, little side area for outside eating. Recommend the beesting cake

Had coffee and a cake this morning, the cakes are amazing
