It's a cosy cafe with a nice log fire. The garden area must be great in the summer. Whilst I appreciate it is a tea and cakes cafe it's not a spot on a european cafe. The selection of cakes is tired looking and there is no hot food or snacks. My breakfast was pretty ordinary. Mediocre tasting coffee. My offering of toast was unimpressive. Supermarket sliced bread with two small packaged pieces of butter and a tiny pot of marmalade. With Thame being a market town I would suggest; Doorsteps of real farmhouse bread. A pot of proper butter and a pot of homemade marmalade. Overpriced as it is at the moment. My request for a second coffee never appeared.

Lovely garden but you may have to wait to get a table - it’s very popular in the summer months. Staff very professional. Only criticism is the price of the cakes - £5.40 for a scone and butter is excessive even if it is home made! Also, be aware that there is nothing savoury on the menu.

A delightful place for tea and cake in a lovely garden. Lots of choice of cake and prompt friendly service. Will definitely be back.

Cycled from Marlow with friend (40 mile round trip). Well worth the trip. Wonderful garden, Staff very friendly, professional and made us extremely welcome. We just had tea cakes and coffee. Flat whites were perfect. Thank you especially Emily R. for looking after us. Will 100% return. Brian and Rod.

A beautiful coffee shop which has everything you need. The decor of this place is outstanding and the garden is incredible. Staff are friendly and the manager Amelia is lovely. This a must if you are visiting the area and well worth a drive just to visit the coffee shop

Been to Monkey Puzzle a couple of times now and their coffee is excellent. It’s going to be my go to for coffee now. Great outdoor space for when it’s nice weather and perfect for the dog. The staff are so friendly and every time we visit we feel welcomed. They sell some nice gifts too. 5 dots!

Passing through Thame and we stumbled upon this coffee shop... it was simply amazing, staff were super friendly and welcoming, the space itself was beautiful! I loved the Polaroid pictures of the dogs who have visited and some of the team was such a lovely touch I've not seen elsewhere. We had tea, toast and hot chocolate it was delicious real attention to detail! Will definitely come back!

Passing Thame unexpectedly found this amazing new coffee shop. Excellent coffee, stunning walnut & coffee cake, sensible and generous portions and delightful staff. Now looking for another excuse to go to Thame!

We decided on Sunday morning to try the Red Lion for lunch, and booked a table for 1330. We arrived and were met by efficient staff who were expecting us and offered us a choice of table. Drinks were ordered from a knowledgeable waiter and arrived quickly, mine being a very well-kept pint from tge local Amwell Springs brewery. We both chose beef from an extremely well thought-out menu which again arrived after only a short wait. The meat was beautifully cooked and presented on a large plate with very well cooked greens, carrots and a freshly-made Yorkshire puddings. Sides of cauliflower cheese and roast potatoes were excellent, probably the best roasties I've had, and the horseradish was similarly delicious. We both cleared our plates and the side dishes. Utterly gorgeous, go and see for yourself.

Been a few times since it changed hands and unfortunately the food quality has dropped. The fish is consistently rubbery and overcooked. It’s never skinless when we ask for it. Last week we ordered two large cod and the size difference between the two was ridiculous, and the chips were virtually a bag of leftover crispy bits - some people might like that, but we like some actual potato in our chips. Real disappointing.

Consistently good. Freshly cooked light meals, decent coffee and friendly service. Bike parking in the garden too. A great alternative to Riverside nearby
