Nobia & Sons in South Gloucestershire

A lovely welcoming cafe, the food was delicious, we ordered toasties ,chips and a pot of tea for 2. The service fantastic too 😊

A chance stop into Nobia & Sons while on our bus tour proved to be one of the best meals we had in all of England. The ambience was homey and comfy; my friends and I actually ate our lunch sitting on couches. The sandwiches were amazing and as good as any trendy cafe I’ve dined at in NYC (that’s where I’m from). Delightful staff and Nobia, the chef, came out to greet us and chat. Her son worked the front of the shop, a true family operation. If you are near for sure you should stop in! I promise you will leave delighted, sated and warm and fuzzy. 5 raving stars.

Fabulous food, atmosphere and service. Superb apricot, avocado and poached eggs. Best ginger cake ever. Lovely decor and friendly staff.

We stopped by this little gem of a cafe on the off chance as we were just looking for a coffee and a snack, and wow well worth a visit! We got a toastie that was beetroot feta and apricot and it’s possibly the nicest toastie we’ve ever had. We also noticed some amazing looking curries on the menu that we just couldn’t resist, so we got two goat curries to take away for our teas later. So looking forward to having them tonight. To make things even better the mother son team are so friendly. Well worth the visit 👍😀

Looking for somewhere to eat and spotted this hidden gem. The owners ( mum and son ) are very friendly and made you feel at home. Good seating areas and two lovely sofas. Good choice of traditional foods as well as sandwiches, cakes etc. Will definitely go there again soon to try their curries.

We all had an amazing lunch here, a Goat Curry and some Jasmine and Lime Iced Tea each, followed by a delicious slice of Yuzu cake! I've eaten here with my friends before, and we loved it, so I brought my mum too. All the staff are so friendly, welcoming and very accommodating - all fantastic service. The portions are generous and the food is fantastic :) No photo of the cake, as it was inhaled instead 😆

Fabulous meal, fantastic service, takes dogs and for me absolutely best of all a full gluten free lunch menu. What more could you ask for! Absolutely loved this cafe so a really big thank you to them

All of the staff were extremely welcoming and the food was fantastic. Regarding the negative review below, I wouldn’t go there is I wanted an average sandwich. The cakes alike were gorgeous and different.

Expensive food for the setting, 2 small pieces of cake and 2 coffees £16.60. Seating was very cramped and I had to get up every time someone moved around me to let them in and out of their seats (at least six times!) staff were very pleasant.

Friendly staff, lovely coffee. Felt compelled to leave some feedback as £24 for 2 small sandwiches and 2 coffees is too expensive! I was expecting the £8.95 sandwich to be something special but unfortunately it was pretty average.

Love this cafe, always a friendly welcome and delicious food with a ghanian twist. My go to when in Barney.

Amazing food and really great atmosphere and service. The what i can only assume is a family run business was brilliant

Lovely food and a very warm welcome from the owners. Really friendly service, would definitely recommend to others. We had the jerk chicken and chicken curry and they were very tasty!

This weekend was the first time we have tried this coffee shop, and what a find it was. We just popped in for a coffee. However, the coffee was absolutely lovely, and possibly the best I have tasted for quite a long time. My wife and I both opted for the Carrot and Pecan Cake. It was a good sized portion, which was fresh and moist - without exaggerating - it was probably the best I have ever tasted. The interior was nice and bright, and the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Whilst there we browsed through the menu, and of course based on our very positive experience we'll definitely be returning soon to try some of the dishes.

I would like to make it clear that this review refers specifically about the curried goat which is stated as a signature dish at this cafe. The people are lovely and other food has always been fine however I was very disappointed with the curried goat. It was served in a very small (finger bowl size) bowl of curry sauce which in itself was very nice, however the amount of goat was miniscule to say the least. The dish was accompanied by a spoonful of rice, two bite size pieces of plantain and a small amount of diced tomato. The price for this was 5 pence under £14. When the waitress asked how it was I was courteous but honest and told her I was disappointed and that I thought that it was poor value for money. When I paid the young guy asked me the same question and his reply was that goat was very expensive, to be honest I thought this was an extremely poor response particularly given the tiny amount of meat in my dish which couldn't have cost much at all. Very disappointed and would not recommend this dish.

I live in Barnard Castle and have walked past this place many times and finally got round to eating there today. I now feel I have missed out all this time! Great food, great atmosphere and the staff are super friendly at this family run business. Definitely a unique place and worth a visit.

What a great find, lovely people so accommodating and the food was great too. The cafe is dog friendly.

This was a visit for soft drinks and cakes, and the experience was admittedly enhanced by the sunshine as we sat outside. The service from the team of cheerful friendly staff was excellent, as always, and the food and drinks were interesting, innovative and delicious! Highly recommended!!!

An excellent cafe and lovely coffee and cakes. The cafe has a relaxed and friendly feel with both owners being very welcoming. We visited one morning but then returned twice more before our holiday ended.

Fabulous little cafe beautifully decorated in an African theme. Good menu and great service. We shared an Halluomi & Pesto toastie which came with a lovely salad. We shared because the cakes looked amazing & HUGE portions. We we not disappointed - the carrot cake...

Very friendly owner who will take time to talk to you and it is a very clean and busy place and the coffee [decaf ] was delicious will try something to eat when go back next time

Service excellent. Very friendly staff. Great tea and coffee. Scones were very tasty. Very nice atmosphere. Will be back and hope to sample some of the hot food!

Once again wonderful hot food. Full breakfast. Friendly staff and clean cafe . Amazingly kind and considerate to a young family with a child with autism, engaging and non judgemental towards them. Left the café feeling energised and calm.

Always pleased to find a dog friendly place to eat, but to find fantastic goat curry was a double bonus. Super tender meat that was well worth a little waiting time. Such lovely friendly staff too. Thank you for making this such a pleasant experience.

It’s always a treat when you accidentally happen upon a fab cafe. Try the plantain on sourdough. Cakes look amazing but we’re too stuffed.

One of the nicest cafes we’ve ever been to. The food was absolutely delicious and staff were super friendly too. It’s nice to go somewhere that offers a few things that are different to the norm. Their African spiced scones were amazing!

Chicken curry and curry goat were both delicious. Good coffee too. Atmosphere is friendly and welcoming.

Omg.. What can i say... If you love carrot cake you have to try theirs... I've eaten carrot cake across the UK.... And this is my stomping absolute favourite... Of the son of Nobia said he couldn't share the recipe as its secret!!! Mums the...

We received such a warm welcome on arrival. We loved the ambiance and music. The menu is small but it's all made fresh to order which is wonderful. We had an oat milk latte and an oat milk Turmeric latte it was a bit early...

This is one of the best cafes in Barnard Castle. Extremely friendly and efficient staff. The team work very hard baking all cakes and food from scratch. The Tiramisu cake is to die for! Well worth a visit

Walked in and sat at a table. There for 10 minutes, waiting. There were two ladies behind the Counter at the front of the Cafe, but neither came over to us, despite looking at us a few times. A young man came from the back...

Lovely family run Cafe in Barnard Castle UK, Ghanaian-English fusion food, beautiful cakes. Chilled out, very clean, very friendly owners and staff - a little hidden gem

Based on reviews thought we would try for brunch. Such a friendly welcome and an added bonus that it is dog friendly. All who were working there were so accommodating and helpful. I tried the special of the day, Goat soup and dumplings and hubby...
