Sainsbury's Cafe in Stroud

I think it is excellent cafe value for money,and would hate to see it close down it is thriving and there staff work extremely hard and it is a lovely meeting place for friends

I visited today with my children and it was awful. The cafe staff clearly didn’t have a clue how to work the till. I was charged over £6 for a salmon fillet dinner. The salmon was fine but the green beans and potatoes had been obliterated in a microwave and we’re shrivelled and soggy. The French beans hadn’t even been trimmed and were soft. The portion sizes were minute. The two childrens sausage meals were literally one sausage and a small amount of baked beans. Will never be going again.

I had an all day full breakfast at Sainsbury's Stroud today and it was excellent. Tasty, well cooked and plenty of it, and such good value. My only concern was I did not see any tables being wiped and sanitised, otherwise it would have been marked at 5 star. The last meal taken at this restaurant was before Covid struck.

It's OK, it's what you'd expect, heady mix of grannies and mummies having wholesome food. Nothing memorable here at all, but you know, that view of the fresh food is one to savour.

The queue is normally horrendous in the cafe. This time however it wasn’t which was great. However we waited almost an hour for our lunch to be served as did other people in the cafe. There are never enough staff in the cafe but clearly today not enough in the kitchen either. A real shame.

It's a good place to go when there's a lot of people waiting. If it is, the staffing levels just aren't suitable. The staff are competent, just not enough when the restaurant is very busy.

Tables, chairs and floors sticky and covered in various crumbs and food waste. Ordered a cappuccino, both the coffee and milk were burned (milk was resteamed three times before mine was made). Smoked salmon and scrambled egg bagel was incredibly dry, the bagel was not buttered which wouldn’t have mattered if the scrambled egg hadn’t resembled the scrapings off the bottom of an omelette pan. Although expectations are low when visiting a supermarket market cafe, on this occasion both drink and food were not fit for purpose, therefore a waste of my money and their resources. A simple bit of barista and food prep training and a cleaner should be a priority for whoever manages this cafe.

Arrived today approx 11.30 for a quick coffee break as at work.Waited 20 minutes to be served. Only one person taking orders and serving also cashier. Not acceptable service.

We are regularly here or stopped for coffee. The quality has declined dramatically and the staff seem to have limited training/experience. Getting served is slow. The staff are always friendly but seem unable to manage. Shame as it’s a nice cafe that is no longer on our list to visit!

Not much food available on menu. Lovely staff . My grand children enjoy going here but their favourite ham egg chips not available . Had cold drink instead. Went home for tea .

Had a big breakfast there. The food was good, plentiful and well cooked. The service was quick and friendly.

Visited for breakfast. Very slow! Waited 25 minutes. Had drunk coffee and sat and waited .... And waited!

Ordered two breakfast and waited for them for 30 mins. This is a joke... they should be telling you to go shopping while waiting! Teas got cold and breakfast definitely wasnt worth waiting for!

Visited several times for a quick lunch - ham salad, butternut squash noodle with bolognese sauce, bacon sandwich all good at various times. Good selection of food hot and cold, plus the usual cakes and drinks. Always busy (sometimes 20 minute wait for hot food is a pain if time is limited). Free wifi. Reliable quality and good value.

Reasonably priced good food which was hot and tasty. Choice of 5 breakfast items.Service was a bit slow during peak times.

We go here often and it's a great place to have a bite to eat and a sit down.The food and service is good.

Ideal to pop upstairs for a coffee before starting your shop , or leave husband to read the papers and have a coffee !

This was ideal for a visit to Stroud....we had a lovely snack and then went back for some dinner. I found the staff really helpful and the locals were nice also....we will make this into a regular stop,

Very surprised to be served quickly with hot food at this cafe, as our local Sainsbury's are woefully slow! Great staff, food good.

My friend took me to do weekly shop so we decided to have a quick drink and bite to eat before returning home.

Good for snacks or cheap meals. Good cup of coffee. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Range of seating to suit all needs. Views of car park from large windows.

Breakfast for £4.25 came out cold, missing hash brown which I then had to ask for. Service staff were fine. Won't go again

Sainsbury's cafe is extremely good value for money so nice after a long day at work to be able to enjoy a cappuccino and a scone before the onerous job of the weekly shop. I have also been to the cafe for lunch the menu is excellent with a variety of hot meals, sandwiches and cakes etc and also a very good childrens menu, there is a very good seating area and tables have always been cleaned promptly while I have been there, however you are expected to clear your own table which we have never found to be a problem .
