Lucia's in Cotswold

Fuimos a tomar un refrigerio por la mañana porque no habíamos comido. Nos decidimos por una tostada de jamón y queso. Llegó y estaba espeso con jamón adecuado, no el material fino como el papel y el queso era un queso de buen sabor fuerte y no el material gomoso que a veces se obtiene. En verdad, fue muy agradable y volvería a Cirencester solo por eso. Los precios eran razonables para una cafetería en el centro de la ciudad. El personal fue muy servicial ya que yo estaba en mi silla de ruedas. Están cubriendo las restricciones de COVID y el distanciamiento social seguro. Darle una oportunidad. Clasificación de higiene alimentaria de 5 estrellas.

Café popular del vecindario sin delirios, que ofrece un saludo amistoso, buena comida y buena relación calidad-precio. ¿Qué más podrías querer?

Visitamos para almorzar ayer, y nos sentamos afuera con nuestro perrito. Cuando trajeron nuestra comida nos atraparon en un aguacero. Le pregunté a la camarera si podíamos entrar, ella dijo que no y nos dejó con la comida en la mesa bajo la lluvia. Le preguntamos si podíamos mover la mesa al refugio de una pasarela peatonal, ella dijo que sí y se alejó. Movimos nuestra mesa / sillas / comida y bebidas fuera de la lluvia sin ayuda del personal. El personal de los fotógrafos de Zippy salió a ver si estábamos bien y se ofreció a cuidar a nuestro perro para que pudiéramos ir al café a almorzar, que ahora estaba frío. Aprecio que no todos los cafés sean aptos para perros, pero bajo estas circunstancias alguna consideración hubiera sido apropiada. Estaba disgustado con su actitud y no recomendaría este establecimiento, pero me gustaría expresar nuestro agradecimiento a los caballeros de Zippy Pictures por su consideración y ofrecimiento de ayuda.

Siempre nos han servido buena comida aquí, generalmente bocadillos y comidas a la hora del almuerzo. Nunca me ha decepcionado. Pruebe los almuerzos de Navidad que se sirven en la actualidad, no pueden fallar.

Absolutely disgraceful to be honest. I have a condition which means I urgently need to use a loo and to my misfortune I thought I’d go to this friendly looking cafe as I didn’t imagine it’d be a problem. The staff were horrible and so misunderstanding. I understand that toilets are for customers. But after calling me ‘rude’ and demanding that I pay for something I would never visit again. And I suggest you really consider the way you talk to other people because you don’t know what they are dealing with. From one human to another!

We revisited this Cafe as we were in Cirencester , we ordered a bacon sandwich and a bean jacket potato . We never had to wait more than a couple of minutes until the food arrived , both were very good portions and tasty .The prices are very cheap in this Cafe .

Has changed hands recently went in and gave it a try they have tried to keep it the same, I had what I usually do when I went in but unfortunately nowhere near as good as it used to be, will find somewhere else now staff still friendly though

Visited Cirencester and fancied a tea and something to eat ,we had a Jacket potato (£5.20 ) and a Ham,Brie and Cranberry Panini (£5.60 ), with Chocolate cake (£2.60 )and two teas (£2.70 ). When it arrived all were big portions and tasted nice . We will definitely be returning .

We stopped here for lunch on a day out. The waitress took our drink order first while we decided on food. When she returned we gave our order, unfortunately they had run out of a lot of food. So we settled on something different. The food we did have was lovely, all staff where very friendly

Worked for us, just a toastie, couple of slices of cake and the coffees. Open plan diner, modern furnishings, very smart salad bar/ cake display and clear priced up menu boards. Helpful very cheerful staff who dealt with a change of order without a quibble or murmur. Very good customer service at sensible prices, will certainly use again if in Cirencester and can recommend.

Love this place. What you see is what you get, quality food at reasonable prices and friendly service. I often grab a bacon butty from here.

Unfamiliar with Cirencester, we asked in a nearby shop where to go for breakfast and were directed to Lucia's. Good choice! It's a cafe so simply furnished but clean and comfortable. Lovely warm welcome! Extensive menu for a small cafe but we ordered the full English breakfast which was delicious and excellent value with good tea/coffee. It's clearly a popular place with the locals and there were some colourful characters in there! The staff were very patient with an incredibly rude lady (who I would have asked to leave) and graciously accepted her eventual apology. Highly recommend this place.

We went because despite visiting Cirencester for years, since before Lucia opened, I have never been in here. Finally got my act together to try it for a lunch visit. I wasn't expecting such an extensive menu; given its size and being a coffee shop I'd imagined a simple sandwich sort of menu. And indeed it has the sandwiches and panini, a very nice selection, but also jacket potatoes and some nice specials. I had a lovely lasagne. We found it lovely and friendly. It's peaceful and relaxed, light and airy, not all crammed in tight or blasted with music. I feel very sorry for them that people have evidently been taking the mickey. No cafe should have to explain to visitors to the premises who are not giving them custom that it is neither a picnic site nor a public convenience. I very much doubt that they want to have to display notices to that effect. But to genuine customers we found them charming, helpful and polite. Wish it hadn't taken me so long to go in!

We pop in here when ever we are having a wander around Cirenceter and need to stop for a drink or light lunch. It is a family run cafe. The owners and staff are always friendly and welcoming. We always sit inside but in the warmer weather there is seating outside as well. A variety of filled baguette, cakes, hot meals etc.

Lunch visit, not too busy, young man took my simple order, I should of been alerted when I had to repeat everything. English breakfast tea came out, minus spoon and milk which he made 2 trips for. About 45 minutes later husbands lunch (which had to be changed due to cafe running out of item) arrived which he enjoyed, but finished before my simple toasted sandwich came. My toastie lovely but too much butter. Went to pay bill, was told Carol could only use the till and she was cooking out the back, I and another customer had to wait 10 minutes to pay. I wish I'd read reviews first.

My 2 year old granddaughter needed a wee urgently. We were meeting my husband for lunch and would probably eaten here. However a staff member came over and asked what we were doing waiting outside loo, my granddaughter clearly desperate for the loo. She rudely told us we couldn't use it. I begged as it was almost too late but the very unfriendly lady refused, was rude and very unhelpful. Hence we didn't return. Unbelievable. I understand that the toilets are for customers but this was clearly an emergency. No compassion shown.

Las camareras muy amable y eficiente, y todo casero delicioso. Recomiendo la tarta de almendras. bakewell. . El café era excelente. Chaqueta de pollo de la coronación. fue excepcional. . 👍. absolutamente perfecto 👍 👍 👍

Llamado para comer. Hoy en Nunca ha sido antes, pero sin duda volveremos. Buena comida y servicio a un precio muy razonable.

Llamado con un amigo para tomar un café en el camino a nuestro alquiler vacaciones en Fairford. Me gustó el lugar y lo usamos para nuestros desayunos ingleses durante los próximos dos días. Buena comida, un servicio amable, buena relación calidad-precio.

Lovely place to eat been in a couple times now recently went to go on Saturday but packed, anyway breakfast is very nice and great value for money, I also had a bacon and stilton Panini which was mouthwatering to say the least, staff very pleasant and friendly, will be back soon Def recommend

1 visitantes street, teníamos una patatas al horno y una tortilla. Ambos estaban bien caliente cuando sirve, porciones muy sabroso y generoso así que no tengo quejas.

As there is a Pokémon Stop just outside we decided on a latte and bacon sandwich each. And jolly nice they were too. Prices are average really.

The food isn't bad it's just that I've had far better food in other caffs. It's got a touch of the pre-cooked out of a packet about it. (I'm not saying for one minute that it is out of a packet but, that's what the quality reminds me of). You get the impression it hasn't been cooked "with love" if you know what I mean.The staff are friendly enough but, as I say, there's something not quite right about the food.

Little gem of a coffee shop close to the centre of Cirencester - delicious homemade cakes, fabulous breakfast which is well cooked and fantastic value for money, and just the best BLT's !!! Staff were extremely friendly and knew many of the patrons by name - great service - great food - great prices !!! Definitely recommended :)

This is a jewel in Cirencester's crown, the service and food is excellent a good choice well presented. My favourite is their cheese toasty while the otherhalf prefers a good old fashioned bacon butty with plenty of sauce.im not one for hot drinks but he says the coffees really good as well, if in town please do give it ago.

So if you have read any of my other reviews, you will know my wife has dietary needs. Took a while to get something sorted. But alas they did get it done. We arrived early afternoon as they appeared to be in the throws of closing down and finishing serving for the day. Certain things were not available but what we got was sufficient. If its close to them closing I wouldn't bother. The problem is when you are a traveller passing through it's an issue if things aren't right the first time

Unfortunately I ordered a tuna and cheese jacket potato to take away and when I got home it was the wrong order. Not only was the order wrong but it was very expensive.

Last week I took my brother and his wife to Lucias we decided to have lunch as opposed to the toasties. We each had the cottage pie with fresh vegetables - it was superb. We each took away a large portion of coffee and walnut cake or lemon drizzle. Talk about melt in the mouth they were delicious. I am only glad that I live too far away to visit every day !!!

Had a light lunch in this cafe, whilst on holiday in Cirencester. Very clean, good food, friendly service. Can't ask for anything else really. Give it a go.

Lovely cake and lovely services. The owner is a really nice lady who goes out of her way to make you feel welcome. The place is clean and bright. Inside and outside seating. Staff are efficient and friendly. Tables cleared away quickly. Food is presented well and fast turn around. Would highly recommend if you are a visitor to cirencester or if in fact you live here. Go in and try for yourself.

We are three ladies who visit Cirencester nearly every six weeks and will ALWAYS book a table for lunch on arrival. We are greeted like old friends and it has become the highlight of our day. We have found that the cheese and tomato toasties are to die for - none of us have ever tasted a toastie so good. What a treat. !

Nos indicaram este local para um bom café da manhã. Meu marido adorou o café da manhã inglês...eu preferi apenas um sanduíche...achei um pouco pesado. A simpatia do espanhol que é o proprietário foi ótima.

i live in ciren & used to go into lucia;s most days but over the last few months me & a lot of regulars have stopped going in there he is ok but she can be very rude at times & in the summer when it gets busy she seams to forget her REGULAR customers ask;s them to move so she can fit people in who she will properly never see again i have not been in there for about a year now the food is freshly cooked & the coffee is nice price;s not over expensive hope this helps

The lady owner who served me was lovely and friendly... unfortunately the male chef/Co owner so I believe was absolutely rude.. near on throwing the bag at me .. not the first time I have encountered his rudeness I was disgusted the first time when he ranted about my bicycle.. jumped the gun completely and was near on shouting about how much his window cost.. I was actually putting my bike where the concrete pillar was ! Absolutely disgusted that again he has been so rude.. such a shame as lovely food and the lady is very friendly....

I called in for lunch at this little cafe after comparing prices at nearby establishments.The tariff was very reasonable for this popular tourist town, and I found the food to be of excellent quality. The menu ranged from imaginative toasted snacks to full meals including King Prawn Curry and Lasagne. The coffee was freshly brewed and sensibly priced. Service was polite and prompt, and I noted the 5 star food hygiene award which is always reasssuring. Will certainly return when next in the area.

This is a lovely cafe. The staff are friendly And can't do enough for you. The food is excellent,especially the cakes!! Highly recommended.

13 of us arrived in need of coffee. We were greeted and orders were being taken before we'd all managed to get in the door. The service was brilliant, the coffee hot and the tea cakes came with plenty of butter just ready to spread.

Welcoming, well looked after, good value simple food, cakes looked amazing. Ice cream rich creamy and fab. This place does not look much but what value and service,. We met with my mums friend she had not seen for 50 years, sat in the sun at the front of this cafe enjoying a meal and catching up, we were there three hours and were not hassled to move on once our meal was eaten. Owner chatty and considerate.

We were able to sit outside on our visit and enjoy the delicious chocolate sponge and tea. Very friendly staff and clean toilets!! Good value for money.

I love this little place, it does the best hot choc....and yes I drive to Cirencester for this reason and the breakfast is lovely too. I always find the staff very friendly

I popped into Lucias this morning. All was fine until the waiter brought me only one of the two items I had ordered. I pointed out the mistake to him and he relayed it to the lady whom I assume was the owner. She abruptly told me I had only ordered one thing. Clearly there'd been a misunderstanding or she had misheard me. No problem, I pulled out my wallet to pay for the other item. It was then she questioned me as to how I thought it would be possible to buy the two things for the money I had paid. The implication was clear: I was trying it on. Her manner was unfriendly, accusatory and frankly rude. I asked for the extra money back and informed her she could keep the sandwich and the original £3.50 and left, after all she had made it for me. I try very hard to support local businesses and not go to the corporates like Starbucks - I certainly won't return to this one, which is a shame as clearly many of her customers like it a great deal.

So glad I found this wee gem in Cirencester; lovely food, great value and brilliant staff ( and they had Scottish tea thanks to Carol, which went down a treat!)

Once again an excellent meal, staff are wonderful. I find it very interesting that the 'terrible' review on here also did a contribution on the very same day to another café over the road from Lucias...and gave it 5 stars..hmmm!!!!!

We had such a good breakfast here - amazing value, very tasty food, good coffee and really friendly staff. Would love to go again when we are next wandering round Cirencester!

Very clean place with friendly staff and the most delicious home cooked food. It was like coming home to a loving family. The food was to die for.

Easily the best place to eat in cirencester. The staff are always friendly and you've got to love the singing chef. Best breakfasting town by far and all the other food is excellent as well

This is the best restaurant/cafe in Cirencester if you want honest to goodness home-cooked food. The choice is there from all-day breakfast, sandwiches, jacket potatoes to Spanish casseroles and hearty soups. My sons invariably choose the delicious chicken curry and lasagna and are always happy and full! Staff are very friendly and efficient and the singing from the kitchen shows the chef is happy in his work! Cannot recommend this highly enough.

I live in South Cerney but any time me and my husband are in Cirencester we would go and have lunch in this most welcoming place. Since i am quite often in Lucia (fantastic value for money) I had a chance to witness extremely rude attitude of the woman who ordered jacket potato. Not only did she eat the whole meal but her obnoxious behavior towards staff made all the customers feel extremely uncomfortable. After having finished the whole meal she herself decided not to pay the whole amount. It takes some guts to be so rude and then make some untrue comments on TripAdvisor.As a regular customer I hope I won't see that lady again.

Als het mooi weer is kan je 's middags buiten op het terras even genieten van de zon.Even relaxen doet altijd deugd...O ja, voor ik het vergeet: het eten is lekker en de uitbaters zijn vriendelijk.Perfect voor een relaxte lunch in het centrum van Cirencester, 'hoofdstad' van de Cotswolds.

Worst place I have ever eaten. Staff uninterested and unhelpful. Food horrible. I visited this place for lunch and ordered jacket potato. It was uncooked inside so told staff, I was told to put salt and pepper on. A member of staff came over to ask how our food was a short while later, and as I started to say she totally ignored me and instead started talking to another lady. I struggled to eat it so left most of it. I thought they might have offered another potato or a reduction on the bill as I'd left most of it, but instead she asked me not to visit them again. I couldn't believe it. I'm a regular visitor to Cirencester and can only advise people after my experience to eat elsewhere as there are loads of nice places to eat. I'm sure lots of people like it there, but not me or the people I was with

Cakes to die for! All day breakfast! Friendly atmosphere! Fresh coffee! What more could one ask for! Thoroughly enjoy our Saturday morning breakfasts at Lucias.

I have eaten in this cafe many times, the staff are all very friendly and attentive. The cleanliness of Lucias is impeccable and food is fresh and delicious. Very well priced.The owners Carol and Feli will always remember you each time you visit, they have very high standands of customer service/cleanliness which is shown throughout every single aspect of this cafe.The best in Cirencester.

...as in, i have eaten here on a number of occasions and the food and drinks are good and at a reasonable price.the mother in law, the reason we come to Ciren, tries to get there at least once a week - you don't get a much higher accolade!!!

Ignore the ghastly 60s-style quadrangle the café is situated in, this gem of a place is absolutely ideal for a drink, snack or light meal when pottering around town. In good weather the square's table-and-chairs seating all belongs to the café. In bad weather, it's nice inside too.Service is very friendly and cheery, and in my experience the cheese & tomato toasties are wonderful - very very tasty, served with salad vegetables, almost too much to eat for one diner. I like to sit outside with one and an excellent cappuccino (served with an almond cookie), followed by a cigarette. Bliss.
