Pennies from Heaven in South Kesteven

Nice little cafe with friendly staff. Food is very simple but perhaps a little overpriced. They do however need to invest in a proper coffee machine. Tassimo coffee is not really acceptable - there are plenty of cafes in Stamford serving real coffee, and I am sure that they miss out on trade because of this.

A really lovely old fashioned tea room playing nostalgic music in the background . Lovely tea and the latte was piping hot . We had the savoury scones , beautifully made ( gorgeous actually! ) and well presented. Give this tea room a go! We will back for more !!

Lovely staff but the filter coffee (£3) and toasties were very poor value for money - thin cheap white bread with minimal filling. And to charge £7.25 for such a meagre offering is pretty awful

Found this tea shop after seeing a sign in the town, friendly staff and some nice background music (but not too loud) . Had a black coffee and a toasted teacake, very nice and I will definitely be visiting this tea shop again

When we entered we thought the place had a nice old fashioned ambience. However, thats where the positives ended. The latte coffee came unsugared but was horribly sweet. When we asked the waitress if sugar had been added she said it was how it comes as it’s a Tassimo coffee! The lesson there is do not order a coffee unless you like it sweetened. The ham and mustard white sandwich was on very thin white bread and really was very expensive for the miserly portion. As for the cheese and tomato toastie, the toast was warm but the Grated cheese and tomato filling were cold! We fully expected a hot serving rather than hot and cold. Finally, the price for the quantity and quality of food served was quite high. Shame

Lovely little place people very friendly but the coffee let the place down only doing tassimo coffee or filter so ended up just having a tea cake you really need to get a proper coffee machine to make proper coffee

Staff so friendly efficient and it is spotlessly clean . Found it expensive for basic food tbh £7 for a toastie a bit over the top and no option of some more hot water for my tea " we don't do that" oh well we won't be back.

Quaint little tea shop with very friendly staff and kept very clean. We shared a savoury tea and a cream tea giving us both savoury and sweet. The scones were large enough to share and came on pretty crockery too. Prices were fair and it was a shame that it was just off the beaten track as it should have been busier. Thanks so much Pennies from Heaven!

We struggle to decide where to eat when we come to Stamford so when we found this little gem we were pleasantly surprised. Very friendly welcome, table service too which I like. I had a toastie which came with salad and crisps and my partner had egg and beans on toast, we both thoroughly enjoyed our food and drink. Will definitely be back.

It's okay, but I think the prices and the quality of food do not match. The cakes were, in my opinion very over priced for very small portions. For example a very small cup cake sized victoria sponge was in excess of £2.50.

Seemed promising but not family friendly. If there are more than 2/3 of you and you would like to sit together apparently the tables can not be moved so you are asked to sit on separate tables, set apart!? We watched as a few families walked away on hearing this - wish we had done the same! The coffee tasted terrible and the food was bland and tasteless. We will not be returning.

Lovely place to stop for a cup of coffee and a scone. We found the place very welcoming. The staff were polite and helpful and the service prompt.

We ordered a cream tea each. Delicious homemade fruit scone with jam and cream, nice strong brew. All served in/on lovely old china. Staff very welcoming and friendly.

This quintessential English teashop is an absolute gem.we have just had a delicious light lunch of home made quiche and salad followed by featherlight coffee and walnut cake. The staff are friendly, the service is good, the decor is so pretty. Will definitely be visiting again.....and again.

I popped in on my way through Stamford on a day out shooting film. Awesome service, fabulous produce and stunningly friendly owner. Highly recommended to anyone who appreciates something traditional and of quality. Thanks Sarah

Had a dreadful day having investigations at Stamford hospital. Found this little establishment. Excellent soup/ scone and tea in a proper cup. Wonderful.

We just popped in for a warm drink last week and were really pleased we did. Lovely selection of tasty cakes, a good cup of tea (surprisingly hard to find a proper tea shop in Stamford) and staff went out of their way to accommodate us and our two lovely toddlers. Will definitely go back.

My friend and I saw this cafe on a billboard in Stamford , so we thought we would give it a try Service no problem, food however substandard! I asked for a latte, however didn’t realise the coffee had came out of a cheap packet( made up for coffee machines you buy over the counter) As the coffee tasted disgusting, I asked for tea, but was happy to share my friends pot My poached eggs I ordered came out of a microwave , they were awful, brown toast on thin Tesco savers bread! Few heads up, if your going to offer latte, perhaps invest in a proper machine If your going to charge£4.50 for poached eggs on toast, then at least use a higher quality bread( maybe a bit of garnish to make it more palatable??) To add insult to injury , I was charged for the coffee I sent back??? Not a place I would visit again !

I visited this tea room recently, along with 4, others & a small baby I have been visiting this tea room since it first opened back in the 90’s periodically, and have always found it reasonably priced, warm & welcoming. I visited when I had young children & a buggy. On my 3 friends arriving they were told that their buggy had to be left outside due to the lack of room. I myself was a little horrified as the pavement outside and street, are very narrow and would be obstructing the path for pedestrians. Also, I know what my friend paid for hers. You may’ve left them outside in the 60’s/70’s but not in this day and age! But there was no alternative inside to accommodate their baby, no highchair was available. I was extremely embarrassed as I’d been wanting to take my Brazilian daughter in law for some time when she was over & had been telling her how lovely it was, as she loves ‘vintage.’ Although I do feel that the vintage ambience has been spoilt a little by the current owners. It is very freshly painted and meticulously clean however but very sparse and lacks vintage detail, bric- a- brac etc. which was always a lovely feature by the previous owners. Myself and my daughter in law had the afternoon tea which was very nice, freshly baked cakes & scones and pots of tea. The price was average for an afternoon tea My friends had chosen off the lunchtime menu which was jacket potatoes etc. but some of it wasn’t available, or they had run out of it. However, this reception completely spoilt it for me and I’m very sorry to say that I shall not be returning to this tearoom. Can I suggest that you either provide a small high chair, that doesn't take up much room or advertise that your tearoom isn’t baby/child friendly.

A nice place to take a break. Excellent tea and options on a cream tea or sandwiches. A good selection all round. Staff very pleasant and cleaning protocols extremely well enforced.

Tucked away down a side street lovely tea room using china tea pot and proper tea cups not a tin tea pot in sight . Lovely scones and sandwiches at very reasonable prices much cheaper than high street chain coffee shops . Very friendly staff...

After a lousy morning of bureaucratic wrangling I stumbled across this place. What a lovely find - just off the High Street, immaculately clean and a real oasis of calm. The staff were lovely and the menu wide ranging in the traditional tea shop style....

Today we stopped at Pennies from Heaven for teas and coffees. We sat down, made our order and while we chatted, placed a small stuffed toy on the table. When our order was brought we were immediately asked to remove the toy from the table...

I often visited this tea room with friends or family over the past few years but I hadn’t recently due to lockdown. This was a favourite because it sold well presented and delicious food at reasonable prices. Visited today and I assume business is under...

I stumbled across this cafe on a day trip and what a great find! Delicious well priced food and friendly and efficient service.

We have been meaning to visit Pennies from Heaven since it changed ownership, we usually are drawn to the Costas or other coffee shops in town offering the flat whites, lattes, cortados etc etc. but today we headed straight for Pennies from Heaven to give...

Not your run-of-the-mill chain, but run-by-the-owners, who do it with warmth and enthusiasm. Stamford's a great place to break a journey, with lots to explore. Seek this one out and you get something unique you don't find in every town. My simple lunch was perfectly...

Excellent service and very welcoming staff. Food was delicious and cakes all home made. Would recommend cheese scones. Felt very safe. Very much a traditional tea shop. Lovely and bright and spotless. Will certainly be visiting again soon.

Staying in the area, visited Stamford and stopped in for breakfast, great menu with something for everyone, even me a gluten free! All freshly cooked, great staff, old fashion style cafe, sensible prices and great quality, would recommend

Came upon this place whilst at the Georgian Festival. Nice seating and atmosphere. Service very attentive and friendly. We had an array of breakfasts - Eggs Royale, bacon sandwich, bacon and eggs, plus Kimchi soup with added cheese. All very tasty and filling. Decent price...

this is a real blast from the past. they do a lovely scrambled eggs with bacon and a nice pot of tea. takes me back to when i was young!

When I went in I just fancied a bacon sandwich, and there it was on the menu. It was excellent. The coffee was nice, the service friendly and it was clean and comfortable.

We were looking for a quick bite to eat whilst in Stamford for the day so turned down an alleyway off the main street to experience Pennies from Heaven. Service was swift, food freshly cooked and the attentive positive attitude of the servers ensured a...

Oldie worldie cafe. Quaint little cafe down a side street in Stamford. Breakfast was cooked to order just how I wanted it...crispy bacon and sausage with 2 poached eggs and 2 slices of toast. Tea pot refilled without prompting. Excellent service.

Called here for a cuppa and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the tea. We even had the teapot refreshed with more boiling water. This seems to be an unusual practice these days.

PENNIES from Heaven isn't bad but it's not great either.Sank a lukewarm cappucino and munched an ok cheese and onion toastie and insipid salad for lunch after zipping out of the office.The staff are friendly enough but the place needs a serious refurb and more than a coat of paint.All right as far as it goes but certainly not my idea of a quaint English tearoom in a beautifully historic town like Stamford.

We’ve visited here before and thought we’d enjoy a good coffee and cake again. However something’s not right now ... my coffee cake arrived on the table still wrapped in cling film! The hot chocolate was undrinkable and my ‘cappuccino’ had lumps of chocolate on top and I left that too. The cake was fine once I’d unwrapped it and cheese scone was apparently nice. So disappointed

I was looking forward to a bite to eat in here from a previous experience.Oh dear how things have changed.Of all the places in Stamford I could have chosen to eat why did I choose here? I ordered the "kimchi noodle soup" £5.50 for what was nothing more than a packet of 35p noodles I can get from aldi with an egg added!!! Kimchi? mm ok maybe not!!! We had to ask for our scones which were not the best.The toilet well it had a dirty brown towel for drying your hands...how do you get away with this nowadays? The lady who served us our food bless her i'm not being rude but cut and clean your fingernails if you are serving food. When leaving the owner shouted we hadn't paid for the scones we had actually so that made us feel uncomfortable.

Very clean and well run local cafe, with sensible menu at fair prices ideal for a quick snack always a pleasant welcome from all the staff, well worth a visit.

Nicely presented tea room for snacks; quiet, well managed, sensible choice of food and moderate prices, helpful and pleasant staff. We liked it.

Our first visit to Stamford we like to support local business. We saw the advertising board and popped in.

We didn't want food and the owner was quite unpleasant about it.

Popped in for a cup of tea. Made to feel instantly at home. Proper (i. e. Strong!) pot of tea. Refilled without prompting. Lovely place.

A warm welcome for lunch on a bitterly cold winters day out in Stamford.

Such a lovely little find. The service is excellent and the price of the food is so reasonable, however very good quality. Highly recommended!

This place is more a cafe than a restaurant,coffee was very weak and tasteless .milk shake was very weak,poached egg not cooked perfectly,sandwich made with poor quality bread,very noisy place couldn’t wait to get Outside to get some fresh air.,will not be back.

What a find, tucked round the corner of the end if the High Street.

Stunning little place, delicious home cooked food and good coffee. This place needs to expand to accommodate all the customers who seem to arrive in a constant stream. Its like a tardis fitting them all in.

It's down a side street near the church at the end of the high st. It's cosy with an old style of feel. Nice tea and cakes, welcoming staff, small enough to be cosy without being cramped.

It depends on your taste, of course, but for me this does cheap, simple, tasty food in a cosy atmosphere. Service is friendly and brisk. Don't expect fancy food but do expect to leave full and satisfied! The jacket potatoes with various toppings are very...

Tomamos té y bocadillos los bocadillos eran muy bueno y abundante, servido con ensalada, la taza de té era muy buena y abundante. Los precios eran muy razonables y la señora china muy educado.

Nos dieron una cálida bienvenida amable cuando llamamos para un almuerzo tardío. Lugar luminoso y alegre, deliciosa comida y precios razonables. ¿Qué más se puede pedir?

Queríamos un nack 'almuerzo y encontramos PfH, justo enfrente de la calle principal. Una espléndida bienvenida; una amplia variedad de sandwiches, una a nuestra taza de té (sin preguntar); rápido, servicio amable y precios razonables. Nos pareció que tenía muy buena relación calidad-precio y si en la zona que no dudaría en usar este café de nuevo.

Llamado a almorzar con mi madre, servicio muy amable y buena relación calidad-precio. Teníamos Patatas al horno con atún y ensalada. A este café de nuevo

We dropped in here hoping to get a cup of tea as I am a firm believer in supporting small businesses instead of the larger chains. There wasn't a table vacant so we were going to leave when the manager/stroke owner? said there was a table and two elderly ladies were asked if they had finished and were practically pushed out. When we asked for cups of tea we were very rudely told that they didn't serve tea unless we had food as well. It was before 12 o,clock so we didn't consider it came under lunchtime rules so left. We could have been told nicely or there should be a sign saying this so everyone knows, we were very embarrassed by the whole interlude, not a way to run a business and I certainly would not visit again or recommend it.

If in Stamford take the time to find this little treasure of a tea room. Not the poshest BUT the best scones ever and huge..they do not skimp on the cream either,wonderful. For the very reasonable price of £2:50 not including your chosen beverage. Tea served in bone china cups a little piece of heaven. The lady who served us delitful.

Friend and I popped in for a drink late morning (pre 12.00). We thought we would support an independent establishment. The lady would not serve us a drink unless we had food. There was notification of this condition on the entrance door. My friend has a nut allergy and carries an Epipen so does not eat food when out. We left and went to Costa.

As Stamford locals we often have brunch in Town on a weekend morning. Pennies from Heaven is a cafe we've not tried before, so we decided to forego our regular places and give this one a try. Coffee was lukewarm and lacking flavour. Two of our poached eggs had broken, and shouldn't have been served. We ate the uninspiring plates of food and left as soon as possible. Given the many good quality cafes in Stamford, serving interesting, flavourful food, this one lets the side down. We'll be returning to our regular breakfast venues next week.

Beautiful light dishes and home baked selection on offer here in this quaint tearoom. My only complaint would be not a lot of space between the tables. But you can't fault the food or service here in a tucked away location.

We enjoyed tea and fruit scones at a reasonable price. The ice-cream is good too. Friendly and quick service; this is a café to which we will return.

Whilst the setting is quaint and cosy, the standard of food is just OK. The coffees were nice and the hot chocolates ok too. Nice for a stop in if you're in town and need a quick cuppa. Reasonably priced too.

Walking around the pretty town of Stamford we went in search of a tea shop and found it here. A really good pot of tea, very reasonably priced. A lovely place to stop off at and just slightly away from the crowds. Well worth a visit and fantastic value if on a budget.

A nice tea shop. We had afternoon tea and as usual I had to have a cake. It was fine. The owner came and chatted. Jolly good. Do drop in.

Had a lovely lunch here. A little off the beaten track so you could miss it. But it's worth seeking out.

We were looking for somewhere for lunch that wasn't part of a chain. There was a very warm welcome from the owner and a good choice of snacks at reasonable prices. All the tables had beautiful embroidered tablecloths on them and then sensibly topped with glass making it easy to clean. The toasted sandwiches were good and very filling, a family at a table near us had scones and they were enormous!

Blink and you will miss this little gem in one of the side streets. The range of food is not great but this is made up for by the quality of the service and the the value fir money. Liked having my tea served in a pot and china mug.

After wandering past lots of nice looking cafes in Stamford, we stumbled across this one. Possibly the worst one in Stamford! As you walked through the door, you were hit by the smell of stale fat. The cafe was clean though. Only ordered a toasted teacake which you cannot really go wrong with. It is a cash only establishment which wasn't a problem. Staff were pleasant. I shall not revisit.

Firstly take the beautiful Georgian town of Stamford, stroll down Maiden Lane and pop into the cosy small cafe Pennies from Heaven you will not be disappointed, it may be small with just Eight tables but the friendly service is huge, everyone is made to feel at home as one of the regulars by the charming owner. The cafe serves a good variety of snacks, breakfast, brunch or a light lunch from a printed menu, the prices are mid range but surprisingly good for such a popular location. When ever we visit Stamford which is not often enough we make a bee line for the cafe which says it all.

Called in this afternoon after a long car journey in need of a light snack and tea. It was the first cafe we came across so decided to chance it. We ordered a cheese and onion toastie, a BLT and tea for two.The cheese on my toastie was not completely melted (not too bad) but worse was to follow. My husband was half way through his BLT when he discovered not one but two long dark hairs lurking under his salad. Needless to say he took it back to the counter and she said she would take the cost off the bill. This put me off and I couldn't finish my toastie. I'm sure there are better tea rooms in Stamford. Cannot recommend Pennies from Heaven.

It was a pleasant cafe with good service and basic well-cooked, well-presented food. The price could not be bettered.

My sister and I stopped in for a tea and scone and it was awful. First, the tea was below average. The scones were nearly burnt and therefore dry and unable to be eaten. Plus, they did not have clotted cream of any kind!

Discovered this little gem after seeing the sign in High Street directing us to it during a visit to Stamford. Small but very welcoming, with impressive traditional glass light fittings from the 40s! Dishes were reasonably priced and good value considering the size of the portions. The staff were attentive and friendly, topping up the teapot with hot water without having to be asked. I had a ham and pineapple toasty, which had good quality ham, and the tuna and sweetcorn baked potato and sandwich my family had looked excellent. Very old fashioned - but that's not a bad thing.

First time I visited this cafe and I won't be going back.We were shown to our seats, asked within seconds what we wanted to order. We had toasted sandwiches and tea which was all fine. As soon as we had eaten we were asked if we had finished (they wanted the table for the next customers!). We didn't leave a tip. The actual place is quite tatty and could do with a bit of decorating.

We stopped off in Stamford on our way down south, to break our journey and wander around this beautiful city looking for a place for a quick no frills lunch. We found Pennies from Heaven and only went in because I loved the name. It's worth a visit. The prices are very reasonable and the food is served quickly and with a smile and a friendly welcome. It's down a side street, so we only found it by accident. It's a bit ramshackle inside mismatched crockery etc. but if you can get over that and don't want to eat in a pristine establishment this is the place. Very good scrambled eggs on toast, although my scone, jam and cream came with whipped cream not clotted and the scone fell to pieces, so I wouldn't recommend that option but there were quite a few people enjoying the cooked breakfasts. .

Found this tea room by accident. Went on a market day do was very busy. Prices very reasonable compared to chain coffee shops. Very clean and staff very attentive. Highly recommended.

Popped in for a quick cup of tea, no one else was in at the time which was a bit disconcerting. The tea was fine and the menu seemed to offer the usual things you would expect of a cafe but we had already eaten so did not order any food.The tea was fine as already stated, but the place was nothing special.

This cosy cafe is delightful. The owner is charming and very attentive. Service is quick and delicious. I had home-made soup with a huge cheese scone for a very modest price.

We were on our way to Market Bosworth when we called into Stamford for a couple of hours. What a glorious place very clean as well as the river area the town has a lot to offer. Plenty of shops eateries pubs and churches. It was Friday when we visited and a delightful market was being held it spread over three roads two of which were car free. Close to the church in the main shopping area down the side road we found a delightful tea room Pennies from Heaven very quaint with china cups and saucers and a good pot of tea. The scones were terrific please give it a try.

Stopped here for tea while walking around Stamford. It's a lovely little tea-room tucked away in a small street. I had tea and a toasted sandwich which were very nice.

Only found this place by chance, so many tea rooms to choose from. Excellent value food, nicely prepared, with extremely friendly and attentive staff. I had the best jacket potato ever, with the most prawns I've ever seen on one plate. Nice quiet atmosphere, everything you could wish for. First class.

I take my mum there regularly and its a proper old fashioned tea shop with old fashioned values. Great cake and tea and lovely ladies that run it. Ideal for a break from shopping in a tucked away location just off the high street.

Don't know why it is called "Pennies from Heaven" I should have asked the very nice Korean owner who went out of her way to pass the time of day with us, We settled for tea and cakes which were very reasonable priced considering you are in historic Stamford, They even asked if we required more hot water for a top up. The cafe is just a short stroll off the main high street and is located within an old historic Georgian building, whilst this establishment is small perhaps Six tables the service and welcome is most comforting and personally this bijou cafe must be ranked as one of the best in the area, we will return in due course and therefore highly recommend.

For a small and bustling tea room this place knocked the socks off many other places i have been and paid twice as much. Scrambled egg on two pieces of quality bread and 2 rashers of bacon £3.60!! The lady that served me was very enthusiastic and even came over to see if our food was OK! A bit more out of the way than some of the main stream places in Stamford - worth searching out.

Popped in for a coffee and tried the banana and cinnamon toastie. Great value for money and lovely service. Would highly recommend.

This is a quaint little tea shop with mismatched china that should not be missed. The shop is small with vintage embroidered table clothes on each table. We ordered the scones with cream and jam and were delighted with the presentation. The scone was as light as a feather and so delicious. It is the best scone I have had in a tea shop, and I've been to a lot of tea shops. Definitely worth a stop while shopping around a beautiful English village on market day.

We found this lovely tea room on our trip to Stamford, we needed a place to sit and have a snack after our busy trip. I had coffee and cheese jacket, my husband a pot of tea and tuna jacket. The staff are excellent and the food hit the spot. Would definitely go back again when we are in the area.

Very very cute with old fashioned service (and crockery). Run by a dear lady who is obviously vert popular with the locals. Recommend for a sandwhich and or a coffee.

My friend and I visited this cafe and we had a terrible experience. The toast was okay but the tea was cold. We asked for hot water or rather boiling water but it was still the same. They cannot make tea as they do not boil the water. Had a Mr. Kipling apple tart instead of a home made tart but worse was to follow. After paying our bill I mentioned the tea was far too cold and the owner of the Cafe - a Chinese woman went beserk. She told me to stop complaining and told me to get out of her cafe and not come back again. She was waving her arms in the air - my friend was quite frightened. My retort was that we would not be back again thats for sure.Very rude to the customers. Be careful of this cafe and if you like the tea cold then thats okay.

We have used this tea many times . The service is quick even when the food is freshly cooked.Always greeted with a cheery "hello how are you?" and thanked at leaving.It is very popular with the locals but the staff always find a space for us.Exceptionally clean and remove crumbs etc. very quickly

It's nice to see a tea room that isn't a chain. This small tea room was nice to visit with friendly staff and was quite cheap.The soup of the day was tasty and the cheese scone accompanying it was delicious. The toasted sandwiches looked nice. My only issue was the use of margarine instead of butter without informing us when buying crumpets and the use of it in buttercream on a victoria sandwich cake, sadly it didn't taste very nice.It's a nice place to stop for a cup of tea and a sandwich in the side street away from the hustle and bustle of the main high street.

Great to find a place off the High Street not run by one of the big chains. Service and food was excellent - nice atmosphere.

Dropped in here for a bite to eat. The lady who runs the place is very sociable and amenable and is very helpful. The food is reasonably priced and the tearoom is immaculately clean. A tuna sandwich is just that! :-)

I visited Pennies from Heaven a few days ago with my partner, we have been a year before and when we went then the place was very quiet and we were the only people in.On entering the place was busy and we found a table and had a look at the menu and we both selected the toasted cheese and onion sandwich with pickle, and a pot of tea.The tea arrived and we let that brew, as the restaurant is themed on an oldie worldly look the décor was 1920's (which my partner likes) and the cups for the tea were porcelain. A few minutes later the toasted sandwich's turned up with a small amount of salad as a garnish, a nice touch.We ate the sandwiches which were very nice the pickle came through very strongly and after a couple of cups of tea the pot was refilled with water which was a nice touch as most places would not have refilled the pot.We then decided to have desert, I had a fruit scone with jam and cream and my partner had some cake. The scone turned up, although very nice it would have been better if a clotted type cream had been served and the jam and cream were in little pot. the scones were very nice and fresh and my partner enjoyed the cake.Service was very good, there were at one time four people working in the restaurant and coffee was also refilled and the other tables were served very quickly and efficiently a couple came in and a table was cleaned down and ready in a minute after the previous couple had left.Definitely would go again but I would like to see the cream changed on scones even if it means a small price increase.

Just visited tearoom. Coffee was weak. We had jam and cream scone which was awful. The scone was tasteless and the 'cream' was squirty cream from a can which melted down on the scone. Advice. Give it a miss.

We went here for a bit of breakfast Saturday morning. Quite small in a back street in Stamford, could be missed. That said went in for some breakfast. Nice little menu, friendly people everything cooked fresh and the place was very clean. A steady trickle of people, shows it is a regulars haunt. We were very pleased with the quality of food and service by the ladies who ran the establishment. If we go back to Stamford, we will definitely go again for breakfast. A very simple menu but enough for everyone to select a good breakfast option.

Lovely little tea shop tucked out the way. Had tea for two in clean china cup and saucer. The scones were fresh and tasty. The service was friendly and welcoming. Obviously a familiar place as people were greeted by name. Needs a little freshen up.

We followed the signs to this cafe and popped in for a late-ish breakfast. Our orders were taken promptly and the food was prepared quickly and tasted so good. Sadly we were too full to fit in any of the cakes. It is somewhere I would visit again. Visited on Saturday 15/03/14

This cafe is mediocre at best. We had a very below average lunch snack, tea was cold, as was hot sandwich (cheese inside hadn't even melted) average sliced bread, pre-pack cappuccino. They served mayonnaise in a Hellmans squeezy bottle plonked on table. It just gave the impression that it was uncared for and very unloved. Sorry to many other places in Stamford with a much higher service at the same prices.

The cafe is quite small but has plenty of character and is tucked away in a quiet street leading down from the main shopping. The service is really good, quick and polite and top ups to the individual pretty teapots used comes straight to table rather than heading back to the counter.I would suggest if you are in a group of four or more you pop in to the cafe in advance to check if it is possible to fit you all in and when. The food is very good value for money and very good in quality. If you just fancy getting away from the hustle and bustle to somewhere a bit different to the chains, drink and eat from pretty bone china cups and plates in a lovely atmosphere then this is the place to go, especially if you are on a tight budget. There is little space for lots of shopping bags so I suggest it is a place to go before you do the bulk of your purchasing.

A lovely, quirky little cafe with homemade cakes and snacks at a reasonable price. Friendly service.
