O'Hara's Coffee House in Cheltenham

We went in search of a fabulous coffee . Read lovely reviews . We were not disappointed . Lovely welcome . Lovely friendly chat , with I presume the owner . We just had a skinny cappuccino , in an amazing blue cup . which was just the right temperature. So often cafes heat the milk too much which burns the coffee and you get a bitter taste . Menu looked great as well . Small seating area inside but on a nice day seating outside is possible . We will definitely be back and would recommend you try this wonderful secret hidden down a side street .

Well, what a wonderful place to sit and have a fabulous coffee in such a beautiful city. I could even get a vegan cake. A lovely young lady served me, great atmosphere in a cute cafe! I will definitely make this my new go to local. Thank you!

Wonderfully friendly greeting and nothing too much trouble. Bacon sandwich on the freshest roll I’ve ever had. Eggs and beans on toast also prefect. Takeaway lunch deal as well. Don’t go anywhere else it’s all here, perfect 👌

What a wonderful breakfast, an option of granary cobs and then the sausages bacon eggs and mushrooms were cooked right before our eyes whilst we sat and drank our coffees. Very friendly staff and I look forward to a summer visit to sit outside and enjoy my breakfast al fresco.

My favourite place to have my coffee 1st thing in the morning . Very special , friendly. Love the plants , atmosphere, obviously coffee 🥰 James & Rico always very kind , helpful , polite . Obviously they do what they do with love .

O'Hara's Coffee Shop is amazing! The Owner and his staff are very friendly and eager to ensure you enjoy your chosen breakfast from the many options available. A multitude of exotic potted plants dotted around the room encourage customers to actively chat to the Owner to find out more about the plants. I thoroughly enjoyed my beautifully cooked Bacon Granary Bap and look forward to visiting again when I'm in Cheltenham.

In a market flush with chain coffee stores, O’Hara’s is a quirky, independent business, that does what it does exceptionally well. It offers not just great coffee but a delightful experience. As a supporter of small business, I’d encourage everyone to pop by for a cup of your new favourite drink and bite to eat. O’Hara’s Coffee Shop in Cheltenham proudly advertises they make the "Best Bacon Roll in Cheltenham", and I’m a sucker for anything that makes claims like that. The rolls are delightfully soft and fresh, perfectly complementing the excellently cooked, high-quality bacon. As a recent local, I can confidently say it's the best I've had since moving to town. The special with a coffee and croissant for 3.75 is a also a bargain. What sets O’Hara’s apart, besides its culinary delights, is the warm, community vibe with locals popping in to say hello. The owner was a fount of local knowledge, and happily shared insider tips on exploring the town and region, making us feel welcome and right at home. Additionally, the shop's unique touch of selling plants adds to its charming character. I’m also very happy to find dog friendly places, especially on a windy day, and Major loved it too!

Lovely, cozy corner coffee house, had a delightful cup of coffee on a wet December morning, chatting with our kind and jolly host.

Very nice morning coffee with a delicious bacon butty in a lovely soft bap: an excellent start to a hard day’s shopping in town. I would definitely recommend this to future caffeine seekers.

Just in town and popped in for a cappuccino; staff very friendly and a lovely cup of coffee. Highly recommended.

My husband found this lovely place online and was encouraged by the reviews. It didn't disappoint. I had the falafel and roasted vegetable panini which was absolutely delicious. He had the ham and bacon panini which he thoroughly enjoyed. Coffee was excellent too. And the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back!

Very friendly welcome, excellent leek and potato soup, and coffee, takeaway rolls were very fresh and tasty. Nice outside sitting area and numerous plants for sale.

The customer service was amazing. As soon as we walked in we were greeted with smiles and readiness to serve. The shop is adorable with lots of plants to sell, and not to mention the coffee was delicious too. Will definitely be coming back!

Vanilla Iced latte was absolutely amazing, plus I tried a raspberry white chocolate cake, Wow I think it was the best cake I’ve ever had and will be going back for more!!

Superb food, the service was excellent. The owner couldn't be more friendly and helpful. The Panini was fresh and very tasty . I would recommend a visit for lunch anytime.

Found this little gem of a place and we were not disappointed at all - the menu choice was amazing and the food was delicious and fresh. Would definitely recommend!

Wholesome vibes, relaxed atmosphere, lovely staff. PLANTS EVERYWHERE!!! (All for sale). And the best panini and coffee in town!! O'Haras is a hidden gem, but also a great spot to watch the world go by. LOTS of natural light thanks to huge windows floor to ceiling windows. My favourite coffee shop of all time and a place I love to go to regularly!! 🌿🪴💚☕️

Wunderschöne Ort, sehr leckere Kaffee und sehr freundliche Bedienung. Ich habe dort das beste Sandwich ever gegessen. Mit viel Liebe zubereitet und charmanten Lächeln übergeben. Die Pflanzen und die kleinen blauen Tische laden freundlich ein 😄 Vielen Dank 🤗🥰☺️ Ich werde bestimmt das Örtchen nochmal besuchen und weiter empfehlen ♥️💝🥰☕

Found this one by chance whilst walking from our hotel into the centre of Cheltenham. Quite a small place with only a couple of tables inside and then additional tables outside if they have them set up. Very nice coffee and pastries and you are surrounded by mainly green indoor plants for sale whilst you sit there enjoying them. I much prefer these small independent coffee houses to the bigger bland chain ones that blight every High Street nowadays. This is something different, please search it out and give it your custom.

Fantastic coffee house Friendly local chain free Love the independent for personal flavour value for money. And a great bacon bap well done so Hara’s

This little independent coffee shop was a welcome break today, staff exceptionally helpful and friendly, my lunch was freshly made and incredibly tasty. Plenty of seating inside and out to watch the world go by, also masses of beautiful potted plants some for Indoors and some for out one of which I purchased. The shop is just off the main thoroughfare but well worth a visit. Thank you 🙏

We order from O'Hara's regularly for buffet lunches and they are brilliant. Always friendly and the platters are lovely. Special thanks for the Easter theme cakes this time.

Amazing coffee, friendly service will definitely visit again soon. Also lots of beautiful plants available to buy as well!

A green place in almost every sense of the word. It is a nice laidback atmosphere, which is shown with the metal tables and the very luxurious plantlife - so many very large tropical / house planets - all for sale. We had the toasted sandwiches which were superb, and just what we needed for an 3 hour assault on the nearby shops. Very good food and coffees - a real change from the big brand places.

Have now used O'Hara's twice, providing lunchtime platters for our client meetings. Great price, wide selection of freshly prepared items which tasted really good. Feedback from our client, well, they've asked for more meetings at our place! Will definitely use again.

If you like coffee and you like house plants, this small friendly coffee house is an easy win. Delightfully dog friendly too

I used O'Hara's to cater for 150 people. at my 60th Birthday Party 20.08.22 There was more than enough food for everyone 💞👌 with very little left over. There was a very good selection of food including a Cheese Board with several different cheeses. Food...

This is a gem of a coffee house and well worth searching out, just a few paces from the shops. Very clean and well-decorated. Great coffee and the very friendly owner (James) was chatty and welcoming. It was a hot day so we sat outside...

Called in again to this grear place had a really good coffee ..service is wonderful and now they sell amazing plants wow just the ticket guys keep up the great service and I'll be back

Was part of a group of eight that arrived here just a few minutes before they were due to close. The owner (James?) couldn't have been more helpful, served us all with drinks and sandwiches. The quality of the food was great, even though as...

James was a great host and made a great coffee. A bountiful menu of sandwiches and more. Lovley quiet outside seating area just off the bustling high street. Superb coffee - sensible prices:)

Met a friend for coffee here today. Really friendly and very helpful service. We both had rolls which had a lovely salad served with them. Excellent value and quality with good coffee.

Stopped by for a coffee this morning Definitely lived up to expectations Lovely coffee and a good chat with the owner, opens at 7am race week Which is a plus for me Will be calling back

Not been before but I was told they did a very good caramel latte…so I Popped in one Thursday morning. I was not disappointed 😀 fab coffee and friendly service. Cafe was clean and inviting I highly recommend and will be going back for more...

A friendly and warm welcome awaits you every time you visit Ohara’s . This coupled with a quality food and beverages menu to choose from surely have to make this one of the best coffee shop stops in Cheltenham. Don’t take my word for it...

We wanted a small coffee house on the way back to the superstore and weren't disappointed. We enjoyed soup and bread; coffee and conversation with the proprietor. The paintings on the wall and for sale were great.

5 out of 5. Great service. The coffee and brownies are the best by far, and the price is reasonable . Worth a visit if you are in Cheltenham.

I have become a regular visitor to this lovely little coffee house. The coffee (flat white) is always good and the owner is always a delight to deal with - efficient and friendly

Extremely friendly and very welcoming . Had a great breakfast roll and coffee great thanks. Well very back and hey I bet its even better in summertime

I pass here every day and unless I’m in a massive rush, you’ll find me enjoying a morning coffee and egg roll here. The food is incredible, the coffee is great and the company is fab! What makes it really special though is James. He...

Not only does James make the best flat white in Cheltenham, he now stocks honestly the BEST brownies I’ve ever tasted! Sadly I’m going to have to work my way through the whole range…Beautifully clean premises, delightful company, wonderful breakfast menu. But that will be on hold whilst I sample those brownies….

I was recommended the brownie here and my god did it not disappoint! love the coffee and such a friendly welcome. Really like all the art to!

Me and Tom discovered this little tiny piece of heaven. The coffee is incredible and the owner is so pleasant to chat to. Every morning the visit just makes the day even better.

When ever in Cheltenham for work I always make a trip here for my daily coffee and lunch or breakfast which every it maybe, the owner James is so lovely friendly always service with a smile, my coffee oat milk latte is the best.. and breakfast or lunch is yummy and watch out for the cakes they are to die for.. perfect little bit of coffee heaven. L X

This place does the best sandwiches! The bread is nice, the portions are really big and the salad is super fresh - love it here!!

I arrived to be greeted by a very well rehearsed and capable team I was after breakfast and what I got was an amazing smoked bacon roll on the most incredible bread . I will be returning !

I visited for the first time last week with my girlfriend. There’s a good atmosphere and the food is amazing. We will certainly be back for more.

Most relaxed coffee place in town. Always pleased to visit James and catch up - glad Lockdown is over so we can drink or coffee without having to sit on a nearby wall!

The food was great and everyone really enjoyed the selection on offer. We will deinfinitely be in touch when we are next in the area. Thanks Kate!

I'm a coffee snob. I only have 2 coffees a day and they have to be GOOD. Normally only satisfied with a coffee from home especially if I know I'm going into Cheltenham town centre where a decent coffee is sadly lacking. Then I found O'Haras!! The coffee is always good, never lacking in taste and flavour. And for those of you who are bothered theres always a pretty picture in the foam!!The breakfasts are always amazing, freshly cooked on freshly baked bread. You should see the cakes....wow!!Highly recommend a visit here. A fabulous independent coffee house with really friendly staff who are pleased to welcome you in and remember you if you visit again....a pretty rare quality!!

O’Hara’s provided the catering for our daughter’s christening. The food was perfect and we were really happy with everything, particularly how well the children were catered for. James took care of delivery, set up and clear up and we didn’t have to worry about anything. Thank you, we would definitely have catering from O’Hara’s again.

Great range of fillings, fast and friendly service, highly recommended, would definitely visit again

Very lovely day it is nice to have coffe outside, this place is just amazing and It is in quite location. Very good place to enjoy nice coffee.

Our go to place for all our corporate lunches. Ohara’s do the best sandwiches , always super fresh ! Cakes are amazing too ! Lovely people wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Not the biggest place in the world for sure, but what a wonderful vibe. The glass frontage allowing all of the light, the incredible smoothie, the gentle and genuine staff. It was just a lunch that I needed... But it was a much fuller experience that I left with. Ta guys. Wonderful stuff.

An amazing place in the city center. The coffee is great and served with a smile. I feel among friends. A great way to start the day.

Our favourite place for coffee, cakes and paninis in Cheltenham! Great food and the service from the owners is fantastic.

We visit O'hara's every Friday for our Friday bacon! Best bacon and best coffee ever! Such lovely service and James and Kate are always very welcoming! We Love O'Hara's

This gorgeous little place does fab coffee and A-MA-ZING brownies (and other cakes). The owners are so friendly and welcoming too that even a quick visit will brighten your day. The outside seating area is such a cute sun trap too.

always a great place for hot drink and some cake. good conversation and a relaxed atmosphere. not hard to find and central too.

Independent coffee shop in St. George's Place, Cheltenham. Just off the main shopping thoroughfares, close to the Wilson Art Gallery and Museum, and a 12” remix throw from Badlands Records. O’Hara’s offers a welcoming, friendly, spotlessly clean and bright ambience, accompanied by excellent coffee and superb food. Highly recommended!

I recently visited O'Hara's coffee House for lunch and the staff are extremely friendly. They also provide a breakfast service, where my colleagues and I enjoy a hot, well cooked breakfast in the comfort of the office! Highly recommend.

Lovely ambience in quiet side street off the main High Street. Very friendly staff and the best flat white in Cheltenham. Light lunches also very appetising. Close to the art gallery & museum.

The most gorgeous breakfast sandwiches, perfect crispy bacon served by the loveliest people, thank you so much!!!

I come here every Saturday . The staff are friendly and the food and coffee is the best in Cheltenham. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I always have one of their berry burst smoothies, which are made with fresh locally scorched fruit. I would recommend it to anyone looking for amazing food and service. The staff are always very friendly.

I spotted this lovely Cafe on Trip advisor and decided to give it a try. Lovely clean and comfy cafe with a large and interesting menu and friendly and efficient service. definitely one to try on another occasion.

Brilliant meetball and Mozerella panini and coffee to go with it, brilliant local business. Would highly recommend

I work nearby and visit O'haras 2-3 times a week. It's my favourite place for panini's/baguettes and their salted caramel brownies are incredible! The staff are always so friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend!

We don't get to Cheltenham too often, but when we do we make a point of visiting O'Hara's. Great coffee, wonderful sandwiches, paninis, etc, fantastic soups, and wonderful cakes. There's always a warm and friendly welcome. Everything you could want from a coffee house.

Everything about O'Hara's is great! The salted caramel brownies are to die for, the panini's are delicious and their milkshakes are the perfect accompaniment ... what more could you want?

O'Hara's has such friendly and welcoming atmosphere and the food is always excellent. 5* service and 5* quality!

Visited Cheltenham with 2 friends and stumbled across this little slice of heaven. Very close to the centre of town but tucked away in side street so was lovely and quiet for us to catch up. Very friendly and helpful staff all 3 of us had jacket potatoes and hot drinks which were all enjoyed. Then had the salted caramel brownies, wow! Gorgeous! Took them away to enjoy on our respected train journeys. A must try! Thank you for a lovely atmosphere.

Lovely little family owned coffee house selling ethically sourced coffee just off the Cheltenham high street. Great selections of hot and cold food, sandwiches panini, daily soups etc. Free WiFi and indoor and outdoor seating makes this place great for students to grab a coffee and work on some university assignments. Will definitely be coming back here on the regular due to the friendly and helpful staff

We used O'Hara's for a business lunch in our offices, they delivered to the front door, the food was amazing and the price was very reasonable! Would highly recommend

Great coffee! Great service! Like many of the best experiences in life it's worth going off the beaten track for.

Visited today on a miserable rainy lunchtime. My spirits were raised by the best BLT sandwich I have ever had. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Good coffee and delicious cakes.

Popped in for a quick cup of tea - peaceful. So much nicer than the chain competitors on the High Street.

Stumbled across this lovely little cafe whilst looking for a quick lunch bite. Good choice of sandwiches/ baguettes and paninis available, + smoothies and cakes. Lovely staff, very friendly and accommodating. A pleasant visit. Good value for money.

Amazing coffee, friendly owners, brilliant food. If you are looking for a local and independent cafe locally, make sure to visit O'Hara's and you will never look back!!

A great little find. Nice to see its not part of a chain. Really good coffee, great eggs for me (I had them two days in row), my wife had the full breakfast on the second day... Also good. Great value too. Friendly staff. Worth it.

It is a nice and cute coffee house, serving good coffee. However, I realised that I went there a couple times only... while I visit other coffee houses in Cheltenham a lot more often. I guess I don't fancy the atmosphere that much? I prefer a more modern space with a bit more tables to sit, enjoy my coffee and maybe even work.

Hey. I went to O’Hara’s for the first time today (with my new Orka card!) and had a lovely Mediterranean panini and green smoothie on the terrace, in the shade as folks wandered by. Really nice. Thanks very much James and Orka Card - I’ll be back!

My daughter and I sat outside this lovely cafe just off the high street in town in a beautiful setting. I had a delicious Caesar salad and very nice iced coffee. There is a good choice of snacks, jacket potatoes and salads. Many thanks we shall return

Visited with 9 girlfriends and we were treated to the perfect start to our day. Nothing was too much trouble, delicious coffee and light breakfast. Thanks for looking after us so well.

This coffee shop was a fabulous find. We arrived as a group of 8 and were so pleased we stopped here. The owner and staff went out of their way to welcome and look after us. Fabulous coffee lovely croissants. Highly recommended - thank you

Lovely coffee shop. Amazing service with top class coffee. As we were a group they suggested a selection of toast and pastries which was perfect. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed morning coffee at this independent shop off the High Street. The staff cooked some croissants specially because my mother (85) wanted some.

Not wanting to visit one of the chain coffee shops which are found in most towns, we were very pleased to find O’Hara’s down a small side street. There are a few tables outside which was perfect as we had our dog with us. My husband had a latte and I had a tea both with sandwiches with a small side salad. They were also serving soup, paninis, cakes, etc. The sandwiches were made while we were waiting and the bread was really fresh. It was good value for money and you were served with a smile. We will definitely visit again if we are in the area.

Stopped past for a light lunch, and was impressed at the range of panini and jacket potatoes, sandwiches and other lunch and snack options. The quality of the ingredients was excellent - the sausages and chutney in particular. The smoothies were also freshly made from scratch, to order. The owner was very welcoming and the cafe was cosy and clean. A great little local gem that deserves all the clientele it can handle.

Lovely friendly cafe just off the main drag. Perfect for breakfast if you are staying at the nearby Premier Inn or Holiday Inn Express. Dilicious paninis, great hot chocolate and very friendly staff.

Went to o'hara's for lunch with a friend on Friday it was lovely we both had pinninis they were really nice with a nice side salad i had one of the best chocolate cakes i have ever had and not really a big fan of chocolate cake lol yhe staff are lovely and friendly a must go to when in Cheltenham thanks guys what a great start to my weekend x

fantastic little coffee shop,great food and really friendly staff. The garlic mushroom and mozzarella panini was delicious

Fab little coffee shop with great coffee and an excellent coffee shop menu. The Breakfast Baguette is well worth the visit alone. Also other breakfast items, lunch items and cake selection. Warm friendly welcome and freshly cooked food, what more could you want? Will definitely be back. x

We wanted somewhere to go to and grab a quick bite to eat and O'Hara's was perfect. I think it is more of a takeaway place as there is not much seating. However we sat in and the staff were really friendly. We had delicious fresh sandwiches at a really reasonable price - between £3.50 and £4.25 I think. We were really impressed and would go there again during a shopping trip.

Lovely place with lovely staff. Really tasty blend of coffee with a great selection of food to go with.

Tucked away just off the High Street in Cheltenham. High Street, Cheltenham sounds like a pretty smart address. It isn't. The posh shops in Cheltenham are not there. O'Hara's is at the smarter end of the road, though, and down a side street. There's one table inside, and one table outside, plus perhaps ten bar stools propping up the shelf by the window. O'Hara opened the door to let me in and brought me my espresso. Pretty decent, from Brazil I think he said. A place with lots of regulars I think. I liked it...

Spent a day in Cheltenham with my wife and nipped in for a quick coffee and tea. Very friendly owners who we spoke to for about an hour! Lovely drinks at a great price! The cakes looked fantastic but we had not long eaten breakfast. Will pop in next time for definate. Good luck with it all!!

This place is a jem, great staff who smile and want to help you, prices for Cheltenham are great for the quality, food was excellent and i recomend it will be going back again!

Great little gem in Cheltenham town, offers a wide selection of drinks as well as food. Staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Good coffee, good food, good service, friendly and welcoming owners! What more could one want? Many thanks, Brian
