Keiths Coffee Shop in Cotswold

Came here for breakfast and had a lovely warm welcome by the owner. Love the breakfast, probably the best sausages we've had over the week. The staff are efficient but seem a bit wooden and sullen. Fun decor, warm and plenty of good looking pastries and cakes on display.

Indifferent uninterested staff, an excellent sausage sandwich otherwise spoilt by a lack of serviette and smile…

Great coffee shop, much improved dog friendly lovely cakes & breakfast was good as well

Great busy little cafe with tasty cakes and hot coffee. It’s a great stop for a drink, and there are lots of tables, but it’s often very busy so getting a table is hit or miss. The cafe also stocks hundreds of gift ideas, almost too much stock for the shop and can be a bit overwhelming given the sheer number of biscuits, chocolates and gists on sale. But it’s a well run cafe and worth a visit.

Quality cafe with great atmosphere. Lots of display items of quirky teas,biscuits, chocolates and so on. I was very pleased that they sold nettle tea as loose leaf but a tad disappointed that I couldn't have a cup of nettle tea in the cafe. Had to opt for the usual herbal selection. Well Recommended

A lovely cute coffee shop, which sells local items, also loose tea & coffee. Great lattes. Food is lovely, a little pricey if your on a budget. Free WiFi.

Lovey place to have a great coffee and a delicious pastry.

Excellent ! A cozy place, delicious jacket potatoes and a very warm welcome. Located on a nice street and in the city center!

A great old fashioned coffee shop and tea room.

Had a great Mocka, my wife had a great hot chocolate.

What a Gem of a Coffee shop..... With Lovely Soup on a cold day.....!

Firstly, food was very nice, BLT and sausage sandwich very good, worth the money despite the high cost! Good coffee and good selection of soft drinks! Secondly, not sure if we caught the team on a bad day but the service was dull and lackluster and the lack of music/atmosphere wasn’t great either - probably wouldn’t go back for this reason :)

Perfect hot chocolate! The cafe was warm, had a lovely atmosphere and sells luxury items too.

We both had sourdough toast with toppings, bacon and brie was nice, falafel and hummus was ok, falafel could have been warmer and a little more hummus to help make it not so dry would be great. All in all good 👍

Tasty coffee, if not a little small. Nice trinkets around the cafe making it a lovely atmosphere. Caramel (millionaires) shortbread was a bit sweet for my taste.

Old fashioned coffee shop, wooden floors, tins of tea, canisters of coffee, great chocolates, and lovely staff. What more could you want in a coffee shop? A sublime bacon sandwich of course, with a fantastic latte. Good job they had them then! Loved everything, heartily recommend this place. Don't go when I want to, otherwise I might not get a table, and that wouldn't do!

Nice place to relax with a coffee or cuppa.

Seriously? 7 pounds for enough tea for 2 people! Every place we have been in England has charged 3.50 pounds for a large pot of tea that was enough for 2 cups each for my wife and I. So, I order a pot of tea here for 3.50 pounds and when it arrived at out table, it’s a small pot. Server asks if we only wanted one pot (tea for one) since my wife and I had both ordered a bite to eat. No, tea for 2 people I stated. Go to get more tea and I’m charged another 3.50 for a second small pot. Nowhere in England or Scotland did we pay 7 pounds for tea for 2. You must be kidding me!

Lovely cafe and shop x blt fabulous and the coffee was amazing

We came here as an ad hoc as we usually go to Cotes next door, but we were unable to get a table as had not pre booked & were a chef short, so we took a punt on Keith's. Sausage could have been browned more, was hot just had no colour. The Toast was disappointing, was not given a choice, we only like White, when I enquired while we were waiting for the breakfast, I was informed that it is Granary, said we would prefer white, told that we only do Granary which is a nice soft bread. When nut arrived, it had very little colour to it & was as hard as rock! At no point did anyone ask if our meals were OK, not even a goodbye when we left. Shall not be returning ever again. Cotes, we will be back to you again shortly for a properly cooked breakfast.

Called in for a coffee, tea, and slice of cake. After being brought to the table, I had to take the tea cup as this was not clean. The milk jug also left a lot to be desired, not one we would call again at.

We literally stumbled across this coffee shop whilst looking for something to eat. We had a lovely welcome and found a seat in the window. It was amazing inside, bright and airy, plenty of room. There was an amazing array of loose leaf teas and coffee beans. The menu was excellant, breakfasts lunches, sandwiches, baked potatoes and more. We decided on the ham sandwich, we were glad we did, it was packed with ham( my friend had cheese in hers) on beautifully fresh seeded bread . It came with coleslaw and a dressed salad. My friend had Earl Grey tea and said it ranked as one if the best. I had a weak oat milk cappucino. There was also an array of treats to buy from biscuits and chocolate to preserves and dog treats. Our dog was given a bowl of water and a fuss. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and time here, the atmosphere was perfect as were all the staff. We only wish we lived closer.

After looking at the cakes in the window, I went in to have one, and a tea. It was a very nice cake....and tea. As others have said, tables weren't cleared very quickly. This was a pity as people were coming in every few minutes and many left as there was nowhere for them to sit.

The manageress was extremely rude, I got sprayed with table cleaner, asking where the toilet was and asking for hot water and skimmed milk made her really cross. I’m moving into Cirencester with my family. We will not be recommending or coming to “Keith’s “ again. Dreadful service.

A disappointing visit here. I had capuchino cake which tasted a bit powerdy, the fruit cake was very dry at the edges and no gluten free option at all for cakes despite there being quite a variety of cakes on show. Expensive for the quality and plenty of other lovely cafes to chose from in Cirencester.

At atmospheric, old fashioned coffee shop/cafe with interesting fittings and welcoming, friendly staff. Our lunches were well presented and the portion size was more than ample. My wife's Greek salad was just too much for her. Apart from serving good food (which was good value for money) there were also some interesting-looking sweets and candies (very tempting, indeed). An added bonus is that it is dog friendly. Only slight drawback was that the toilets were on the first floor.

I chose this place randomly as there are many choices in Cirencester. Very good choice as it turned out. The hot chocolate is made from actually melting chocolate and not from powder so one of the nicest I've had in a long time. Had toasted tea cakes which came with little pats of real butter. Very tasty. Prices good and the menu looked appealing if I had wanted lunch. The staff all very friendly and made time for conversation, not just 'what do you want' that you get from some places The toilets are like a blast from the sixties, very odd, but clean so cant complain. If I visit Cirencester again I would go here without hesitation

Nice coffee house ... shortbread lovely coffee tasty. Good chocolate selection. Helpful pleasant staff

Nice coffee but I came out with stained jacket elbows from leaning on the table. Obviously not cleaned properly. Not visibly dirty but ingrained dirt. Noticed it felt a bit sticky. Luckily not an expensive jacket!!

Popped in for lunch on a busy, wet Saturday lunchtime. Found a table easily enough. Was welcomed by a lovely gentleman. Staff friendly. Table a bit sticky and needed a wipe over. We had Brie, bacon and cranberry on sourdough and the bacon was thick and of good quality. Drinks on the pricey side. We would return. 😊👍🏼

lovely little place friendly and knowledgeable owner the cakes were especially good

We had a lovely breakfast. Friendly staff.

Really lovely coffee shop in the heart of ciren with a courtyard garden to enjoy the sun. We had a lovely lunch - nice to see a few vegans options 🌱 I ordered the falafel, hummus and red pepper sandwich (which was lovely, lots of filling!), but one of the salads looked suspiciously non-vegan. When I asked, the salad indeed wasn't vegan friendly so I'd recommend double-checking or making it clear if you don't consume animal products. It was probably just a small slip up though but always good to check. Would recommend the falafel sandwich 🥪 Apparently the bacon and brie toasted ciabatta was delish 🤌🏼 Also, great that they're dog friendly 🐕

Glad we came across this little gam. Came here for two coffees, and also bought the vanilla, tiramisu and java coffee beans to take home with us. Thank you!

Had a lovely cup of tea and some cake. Charming place

Has to be not only the worst tasting but the worst looking breakfast I have ever witnessed. Absolute disgrace to serve that for any price let alone the high price charged. Full English; 1 sausage (looked like it had been rolled around the floor) 1 fried egg (burnt yes burnt how can you burn a fried egg) 1 piece of what I assume was bacon, 4 rounds of toast! What was that all about! Probably to compensate the measly portions of meat. Sent both breakfasts back and the scrambled egg on toast that looked like the after effects of a bad night out. Received a refund for food straight away like it was a regular occurrence. Didn’t get a refund for the drinks but hey ho we did drink half before leaving in disgust.

Lovely lunch place with sandwiches on sourdough. Really nicely presented food. No table service hence no stars. But great place for lunch.

We were charged £25 for 2 breakfasts which never arrived. How can you take an order, charge someone and then just forget. No apology. I wouldn't go there again and I certainly wouldn't hand over money until I'd finished my food which most decent places wouldn't expect you to anyway. We were shaking with hunger and ended up with bacon rolls from the van in the square.

This rating is based purely on coffee beans that were purchased, and not a review of the coffee shop or service. I purchased two bags of coffee beans and both were very stale and one was over-roasted for the type of bean. I own professional equipment at home , and while small adjustments are usually needed for different coffees, an espresso that gushes through no matter what adjustments is a sure sign of stale coffee that has had far too long to out-gas. Te storage tins on the shelf might look nice, but are not ideal for keeping coffee unless turnover is very quick. After making the best I could, the taste confirmed very stale coffee. I haven't bought coffee from here for many years and so I wonder if it has changed hands in the intervening period. Given the cost of coffee, needless to say, I will not be buying again from Keiths.

Great coffee selection and lovely food.

A very poor experience. Initial thoughts from outside were good but areas other than the front are extremely tired and dirty, Stairs, toilets and a view of the kitchen area in particular were certainly not good. Food was slow, cold and of very poor quality when it finally arrived. Informed a member of staff when leaving but I’m not too sure any notice was taken. I would not revisit or recommend.

Yummy food cant go wrong really lovely little cafe inside and other items available as well. Would definitely come back

Not a good experience as very crowded. Staff were excellent but very busy. The trainee burnt the tea cakes 3 times so we gave up and had something else. These things happen so we were not worried. The girl who served us was amazingly efficient, friendly and helpful - a serious plus for any business.

A bit on the pricey side, however coffee was good.

Enticed in with the cakes 🍰 The other food was as good as the cakes looked Although I forgot to take photos of it Had bacon 🥓 bree 🧀 & cranberry Sandwich 🥪 Again friendly helpful staff as most places in the area.

Came across this place on a busy Friday. Staff attentive and friendly. Crushed avocado and feta on toasted sourdough a great light lunch. Service speedy and price ok. Will most definitely return.

I went in to buy 4 cheese scones, these scones cost me £11.80 yes £11.80!! When I got home I went eat one if these scones, urgh it was awful, it was so sweet, why would cheese scones be so sweet

Overly priced brunch for the quality of food. £1.50 extra for the worst quality sausage you could find, they have jesse smith butchers two doors down... Real shame. Place seems tired and no soap in bathrooms. Coffee was good tho.

Great flavoured coffee from here, would recommend.

Soggy Saturday afternoon and doubtless very busy all day prior to our arrival. However, the service felt disorganised and the state of the dilapidated accommodation was a distraction. Food was lovely when it came however and lots of lovely treats to buy and take away too. Would definately go again.

Nice coffee, didn’t appreciate being hollered at by the owner the shut the front door that another patron had left open. Rude

Have to say almost every aspect of this brunch experience was poor. High prices don’t match the quality. Uncleared tables full of dirty crockery throughout. I ordered a brunch dish with one of the main components missing and had it served with no acknowledgment of...

Lovely (not so) little, unpretentious coffee shop also selling an interesting range of goodies. Top notch food and service at reasonable prices. Will definitely make a beeline here next visit.

Disappointed by my first trip here. They wouldn't let us pull two tiny empty coffee tables together to seat a group of 5 forcing an elderly great grandmother with a walking stick to hike an incredibly steep staircase to a very dingy 1st floor room. They then let the next group move the two coffee tables that we weren't allowed to touch. Highly inconsistent. Menu limited. Toilets distinctly grubby. Overall felt tired and in need of work. We won't be back. On the plus side the waitress was nice and helpful.

Great tea shop, good sandwiches and cakes.

Lovely cafe, great cake and friendly staff.

Lovely food , great atmosphere and some cracking Christmas gift ideas. Would definitely go back the next time we visit Cirencester.

Noisey when they grind the coffee beans

Eclectic coffee shop. Busy but a bit chaotic with tables needing clearing

Used to be great, now very poor, far better places to go in Cirencester now. Ok coffee not the best , and the outside are is terrible, berry’s all over the floor from a tree in the yard , table could have been cleaner, if...

What a lovely little find, great food, coffee and tea and friendly service. It's a bit pricey but the food was lovely

Fresh cakes and friendly quick service

We always visit Keith’s when we visit Cirencester and despite the changes over recent years it still serves the best mocha ever; however the decor needs some attention especially upstairs (food isn’t as good as it used to be either). When we visited last week...

My sister purchased 4 cheese scones to take hame with her to eat the same afternoon when she & her family got home after a day visit to Cirencester to see family. They all love cheese scones. She mentioned haw expensive they were and that...

We stumbled across this cafe as we were struggling to find somewhere with space for 8 people. Fortunately they have a sweet little garden at the back which we could sit in. (The upstairs area looked a bit drab and we didn't fancy sitting there). The food was simple but tasty and very quick service.

Stopped here to get out the rain and because the cakes in the window looked good. I wasn’t disappointed. The apple and cinnamon cake was absolutely amazing. Staff friendly. Good service. Would recommend

Came across this whilst shopping today and no queue. Dogs welcome and sat with owners at tables which will put some people off. (Dog owner and lover, but not at the table) Interesting place that sells loose leaf tea as well as a cafe over...

We came across this coffee shop while on a visit to cirencester on 10.8.22 It was busy but they found us a table fairly quickly. I ordered a cheese and ham sandwich and my wife had a scan and cream with a cup of tea....

Latte and caked were fine. Sticky table and many tables uncelared making it difficult to find a table...sticky though it was! Not uncomfortable really, but really noisey customers did spoil things further.

Stopped here because I have a son named Keith & we were hungry! Sat in the courtyard in the sunshine 🌞 we both had the pate platter which was homemade and came with a good amount of toast. It was delicious and we were glad...

This is an excellent place for coffee, on the picturesque Black Jack Lane in Cirencester. And the coffee itself is good there, as is the service.

Coffee was nice. Service reasonable. The cafe is dark and cluttered, while I get the old fashion decor and it works, the store and layout is cluttered. Couldn't see the cake counter or menus for lunch. Looking around the store items gets in the way...

We had cream teas and white hot chocolate which were all delicious. We sat in the window and people watched.

N'hésiter pas à pousser la porte... Il s'agit plus d'un salon de thé avec quelques plats. Les jacket potatoes sont...

Visited late Sunday morning. Very atmospheric coffee shop. Had coffee/tea and scones. All very good. Staff and owner pleasant and helpful.

Popped in for a morning coffee. Lattes were very good and the homemade sausage roll excellent. Efficient service with pleasant staff. Busy and pleasant atmosphere. Would definitely return again.

Came here last year and had a lovely meal, not too sure what’s happened in the meantime; this visit was hugely disappointing. Went to have food & drinks, menu underwhelming and lacking, we ordered drinks, latte was so bitter and no vanilla as asked for,...

We came across this bustling Coffee Shop / Cafe upon a passing through Cirencester. I opted to have a jacket potato with Cheese and Beans and my husband had Tuna Mayo jacket potato. Both came garnished with a small leaf salad and coleslaw. Very tasty...

Visited Keith’s at lunchtime. Told when we sat down that there was no soup, avocado or cream teas left. That ruled out pretty much half the menu so just ordered coffees. After 30 mins of waiting with no service and others who had arrived after...

We used to love Keiths - hidden away on Black Jack Street. Since our last visit it has been update with loads of tables but to the detriment of the food served and its quaint atmosphere. The food choice was so disappointing and very expensive...

We had the caramelized and cheese quiche and it was absolutely delicious. 100% recommended. Service was good and coffee had a mellow flavour Good choice for a brunch

The immediate entrance to the cafe is well presented with interesting food and drink items on display. We ordered a 'normal' flat white and a decaf cappuccino with no chocolate. The flat white was fine but the decaf was firstly served with chocolate and had...

I visited this coffee shop yesterday for a change to my usual coffee fix in Cirencester,and I found it very disappointing. Although staff friendly I found them not very a comadating to my needs as I have certain allergies. I asked if they put eggs...

While looking for a cafe to stop for a drink we went in the first place we saw, Keith's. It seemed simple and unassuming and would do for us. Like the Tardis it is so much bigger on the inside, with rows of teas and...

Cracking coffee shop, very popular with good and helpful staff. Food and drinks were excellent for our mid morning break from shopping. Scrambled eggs on sourdough bread was excellent. Nice selection of take away gifts to buy, jams etc. Well worth a visit.

How lovely to discover this independent and individual coffee shop in the heart of Georgian Cirencester! Situated down a narrow side street, it is the perfect place to enjoy coffee, afternoon tea or a light lunch. A variety of delicious homemade cakes are available and...

It’s was busy and the service was very slow. Had cream teas the scones were fresh from the oven but very light on fruit (1 raisin in each scone). But still nice. The biggest issue was that we sat outside at the front and the...

Sat outside today , ate lunch of which was delicious. Keith the owner was just the best ! Friendly , helpful and extremely kind. Would recommend his coffee shop as A+

Sat outside in the courtyard at the rear of the cafe in the sun and had a very pleasant lunch. The sandwiches and cakes were good quality and came in good portions. Service was prompt, efficient and friendly. Tardis like building with plenty of inside...

The staff were very welcoming & pleasant which always is a good start. We asked for a specific table which hadn’t yet been cleared as the previous occupants had just left. A waitress cleaned it down immediately & made sure we were happy before leaving...

Great place to have a light lunch, pet friendly so it’s great opportunity to take your best friend with you, excellent for very hot or rainy days

This was the first coffeeshop I visited in Cirencester. And I’ve now been back several times as it’s such a delight. The staff are lovely and friendly and the food is superb.

Really nice to find Keith's open on a Sunday, new owners have done well - nice selection of cakes and a decent Breakfast/Brunch/Lunch menu. I chose Avocado on Sourdough toast which was very nice. Husband chose the soup which was Leek & Potato, which he...

Lovely coffee - the best I’ve had - and great breakfast definitely recommend it for a great breakfast

We needed a quick lunchstop and Keith's was perfect for that. We opted to eat in the courtyard out back, lovely and quiet compared with the busy streets but it could do with a freshen and tidy up, feels a bit tired. My bacon and...

Coffee was really lovely but it wasn’t possible to have what I wanted to eat. No where on the menu stated that breakfast foods are only served for a limited time. So I was really disappointed

We have been going to Keiths for many years and we were sad when we heard the previous owner was selling the business. I called in today whilst my wife was at a nearby hairdressing salon . What a change! The new external colour scheme...

A chum of the owner suggested we visit and what an exceptional occasion it was. Staff so friendly -especially poor girl who had lost her voice -and brekker outstanding. One of the greatest post lock down treats thus far. Lucky old Cirencester

A Quaint Proper Tea Room and a great seating area and when the sunshine’s it shines here. The Coffee and Walnut Cake is divine in fact someone else recommended this place stating all the cakes are super and they really are honestly the staff are...

I’ve been waiting for this place to reopen and I popped along today with my baby. The waitress told me her family were the new owners and her mum makes the cakes. They were friendly and I love the new layout. The sandwich and cake...
