Monkeybean in Cherwell

We had to wait till the man who cooks dinar to come, as the woman who was there could unfortunately not prepare our coffee and hot chocolate. Inexperienced and staff with bad attitudes killed the day.

Was aiming for Upton House with friend who haven't seen for two years. The House was closed due to unforeseen circumstances but they recommended we try here. We weren't disappointed. Only ones in the place. Great drinks and food, friendly staff. Even when they had to close up, they didn't rush us out but allowed us to use their outdoor seating area as long as we wanted afterwards. Good service. Approach and car park a bit rough but toilets clean. Can't fault this place. Would like to return.

Myself and a group of mature motorcyclists visited at lunch time we found the cafe setting relaxed and well presented.The quality of the food was excellent and the range of coffees good.The interior is welcoming with a family area ,and a section with tables/seating in a large space with tasteful decor .Waitress service and fairly prompt in delivery. The staff were delightful. Certainly would recommend a visit. Ian Paskin Bromsgrove.

Walked here from our holiday accommodation up the road. Busy little place with walkers, cyclists and locals. In a strange place on an industrial park but has a huge outdoor area with ample seating, perfect in the recent hot weather. Friendly and prompt service, we only had (good) coffee and cake but they also do breakfasts, sandwiches and baked potatoes.

The staff were friendly and welcoming. They couldn't do enough for us. Food and drink quality was good and the location was lovely on the sunny day we were there.

A little off the main road - but easy to get to. Excellent for coffee and cakes plus Panini, baps (veggie and meat options). It is open limited hours, but come in the morning / lunchtime. Big area to sit outside and inside. Dogs welcome.

Signage on roadside (cafe itself is around 200 - 300m from the roadside down a track made of what looks like gravel and tarmac plannings) states cafe open till 3.00 pm. So we were very surprised to be declined food when we turned up at 2.05pm - apparently they stop serving food at 2.00pm. Drinks and some cakes only from then. We were touring on a motorbike so probably took 5 minutes or more to travel down their track and then to take all our gear off - only to then be told we were 5 minutes too late. Poor service.

I’m tempted to not write this review because I don’t want everyone to know how good this place is and make it too busy! 🤣 Delicious food & coffee. V friendly service. Gorgeous outdoor seating area (we brought a picnic blanket for us and our baby!). And a really nice walk to Shennington from here. We’ve been many times and we will continue to come! Congratulations on a brilliant cafe 😊

First time here but definitely not the last. Met with a smile . Coffee and pastry brought speedily and all tasted great. Great atmosphere considering in an out of the way location.

Great coffee and breakfast baps. Vegetarian option as well. Service is always friendly and quick. Great place for late breakfast after dog walk

Excellent coffee served by Anna and her team Wonderful set up with Monkey murals on the walls A great place to visit and meet friends and family 😀😀😀😅😀😀

For anyone looking for top notch coffee and food this is the place to be! fantastic service too. Extremely welcoming. Cannot fault Monkey bean... Highly recommend.

I was passing and saw the sign. I work for the NHS out and about in the community and was really looked after by the 2 lovely ladies there- wonderful coffee, and delicious carrot cake. Very COVID safe - one customer at a time, some nice outdoor space too. Highly recommended Thank you ladies - you brightened my day

Visited here for the first time today will definitely be back i had a mug of tea and a bacon bap my friend had a coffee and very nice coffee it was to she said.

The very best coffee and Anna and her team are great Very clean and welcoming with great monkey murals on the walls

Wonderful to see normality starting to return. Because of the precautions they are taking, one enters the premises with complete confidence. Rock on complete normality (whatever form that might take)! Thank you and good luck

The Team have surpassed themselves even in lockdown. The coffee quality remains unchanged at the top of the bush. Both the bacon and sausage take-away butties are delicious. Although Anna has the ability to get more sausages into a butty than anyone else I know, even they are surpassed by the bacon variant. It’s to die for! Thank you both for keeping going.

I live local to this cafe so we knew where to go,it is tucked away but keep looking it is worth the find. Been for breakfast several times,there is a bit of a wait but worth it. Had lunch here only once again very fresh and delicious. The decor and music are great,friendly staff. The cakes look very tempting maybe i will try one next time.Highly recommend a visit.

The location is in a rural area, food good and reasonable cost fully recommend a visit. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Best ‘Fatboy’s’ breakfast in the locality. Friendly staff. Perfect end to a lovely walk or cycle ride up the hill from Tysoe

Love the decor, the staff & most of all the coffee! I will be visiting again, I've heard they do a cracking breakfast!

Welcoming, friendly cafe with excellent coffee, delicious cakes and a great atmosphere. Worth searching for- free parking too.

This is a regular stop for our cycling group when we ride in this area. It’s a lovely place to sit whether inside or out. It’s often quite busy in the summer.

The best flat white coffee I’ve ever had. Can’t stop going back! Stylish place, friendly staff and the coffee and food are amazing :)

In the locality for a funeral at the natural burial site, we were looking for somewhere for a spot of lunch in the middle of nowhere. The address does not inspire confidence, and to say you are unlikely to stumble on this place by accident is an understatement. Even following the signs, and arriving in what appeared to be a farm yard we still couldn't see the entrance at first glance (go left!!)Once there, however, what a delightful place. A pleasant area to sit outside, and a wood-filled, monkey-themed modern but retro interior. Standard paninis, baguettes and usually jacket potatoes (not on the day we were there) etc. Service was friendly and swift and we were very pleased with the size of portions and the quality and presentation. The baguettes were so huge we had to eat them in two halves: you couldn't bite a mouthful off -well, not elegantly! Everywhere was spotlessly clean, and we would recommend this as a stop off whether en route to a funeral or not -but set the Satnav as you'll never just 'find' it!

We were driving to my grandparents and stumbled upon this place. My boyfriend had the vegetarian breakfast, and it was great!! Fair price too. Service was really good too, super friendly. The outdoor bit was lovely too, great for kids! Would 100% pop back again.

Having passed the sign a few times we popped in for a quick coffee. Great place, lovely location and good service.

Stumbled across this rustic cafe, it will certainly become a regular haunt. Breakfast was really tasty and very well priced. Will be back again very soon.

Surprising find on an organised walk yesterday on a small industrial estate of all places!. Lovely, clean, stylish cafe with extremely helpful, friendly and efficient staff. Moist almond and orange cake was best cake I've had in a very long time! Would definitely make a detour to visit this little gem.

Lucky to find this little gem today on a walk. Excellent large bread roll filled with salmon mix. I'd call it a meal with all the bits and bobs added voluntarily by the helpful staff. Pleasant and clean premises quirkily housed in a barn.

I found this great little place by accident after dropping a trailer in the yard around the corner, I was recommended the monkey bean coffee shop by another driver. I was pleasantly surprised to find this beautifully decorated little place in a unit tucked away in the corner, was welcomed when I entered had a lovely coffee and bacon bap. Would highly recommend these guys if your ever local.

Service is top rate. food is better Atmosphere is the best home from home in terms of comfort Friendly for dogs as well Very clean Super loos

Cosy, friendly, clean, great stop off when dog walking as its dog friendly and they even give your canine companion a complimentary treat. All of this alone would be enough to make me visit but the coffee here is second to none! We also came to the Gin tasting evening here as it is open until 9pm on a Friday which was had a great athmosphere lovely tapas boards really good variety of gins and was really good value for money.

Come on people! If a good cup of coffee and a belting bap to set the day off is what you are after served by lovely people then this absolutely fits the bill. Anna and co do the various coffees and bites superbly. If you do stuff well, as they say, people will come. Only a pleasant walk away as well.

Recently Visited for breakfast, good value for money! So worth a visit and the coffee is to die for!

Great, new coffee shop, and glad to see a coffee shop that knows what they are doing, from an early start of brekie / lunch or a tasty cake!!! More importantly coffee that can be made correct!!! A must visit if in the area!!

Super mini breakfast. Cakes to die for. Pancakes from heaven Friendly staff, nothing too much trouble. great atmosphere

Great coffee and breakfast! Good sense of humor. Shame they're not open on a Sunday! Great for walking and cyclists!

Monkeybean is great for meeting friends and family a very warm welcome from Anna awaits you every time. Coffee, cakes and light bites .

I arranged a 40th birthday surprise here with friends. I had asked the owner if they could do something different - like an afternoon tea styled theme, which they were more than happy to do.
