Scandimania Coffee House in Rutland

I arrived to get my coffees and a sandwich I love scandi in Stamford so took the opportunity to pop in whilst in upping but the service was shocking, the girl at the till served me before leaving with very little manner and a lacked politeness I then had my coffees made very quickly however had to wait 25mins for a cheese toasted sandwich, I don’t mind waiting but my sandwich was already pre prepared so only required to be popped on the griddle There were no other customers in front of me My coffees weren’t particularly warm to start with my after waiting so long they got cold The staff behind the counter danced and chatted to one another, I wouldn’t mind but I got No apology for my very long wait it wasn’t even acknowledged, even when I shared don’t worry about toasting it further (I needed to go and move my car as my parking was running low Tasty coffee and food but I feel £7 is overpriced for a toasted sandwich especially after such a long wait with inattentive staff

This place has a lovely ambience. I have Norwegian family so it’s pretty authentic. My only gripe is the music could be more chilled and less invasive. Having a chat with a friend needs music less loud… but we all have different tastes. But… the staff could be more friendly. I have been there more than once and I get the feeling the staff are rather fed up. A smile would be nice and a more accommodating manner. It’s an expensive place but a friendly demeanour costs nothing. Said with kindness

If you are looking for the best coffee around then head to Scandimania in Uppingham. I am a local so visit on a regular basis. Amazing choices for coffee, juices and food, cinnamon & cardoman buns being my ultimate favourite. Staff on the whole are pleasant apart from one member of staff who let's the whole place down. Fortunately, she is not there all the time. If you do not mind being spoken to abruptly and in a rude manner by non smiling member of staff, it won't put you off. The coffee is too good to be put off by one person, but beware!

In my opinion this place sells the best coffee in Uppingham. However, when we visited for a coffee it was spoilt by a man on the next table on his laptop making a Zoom call. He had quite a loud voice and another person there just raised their eyebrows. We drank our coffee quickly and left. This is a cafe not an office and should be treated as such!

Excellent coffee, wonderful ambience and decor! Very clean toilet, plenty of seating, (including outside, so bikes could be left there perhaps.) Amazing food menu and plenty of bakes to choose from, including many Gluten free options! The Swedish buns were lovely, plaited and had plenty cardamom spice. Definitely coming back… Best cafe and coffee in Uppingham. 😄

The best coffee house for miles around and it’s an independent, which we love. Interior and outside space packed with character and spotlessly clean. The design has clearly been done with an amazing eye for detail and to an extremely high standard. This is not local for us but we travel because we love the coffee, atmosphere and wonderful staff so much. The in-house bakery is something really special, especially when you time it perfectly and get to order one of the amazing cardamon and cinnamon buns while they still warm from the oven!

Just arrived in town and in need of a coffee, I chose this outlet as it looked interesting and slightly unusual It was OK, but no more. I didn't much like the coffee, I thought it weak. I know I was early but the pastries were still in delivery trays and the staff seemed more intent on discussing their love life than serving. At the back the area leading to the toilets was not very uplifting and the whole place felt a bit in need of a scrub. So not somewhere I would return

This is our favourite local coffee shop. The coffee is delicious and the cardamom and cinnamon buns are out of this world! We had toasties and coffees for lunch today. They were delicious and all the staff are efficient and friendly. There’s a relaxed atmosphere and, as the name suggests, a strong Scandi vibe. The one in Stamford is equally good.

We chose to have coffee at Scandimania because we had been to a sister coffee shop two days before in Stamford and had been impressed with the quality of the coffee and especially the flapjack. The fact that we had to wait for a table to become available tells that this is a good place to stop for a needed shot of caffeine! Highly recommended if you want something slightly different to the run of the mill franchise coffee shops. Try the flapjack - it is exquisite!

i went here with my grandmother, they were all out of matcha so they recommended another drink similar, they have all milk alternative options for drinks and do dairy free, gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options for food! i can’t fault this amazing little cafe! the food was presented beautifully and tasted amazing! my grandmother and i will be returning very soon! the drinks came very fast! food was a little longer but they were very busy (not too long luckily). served with lots of friendly faces and smiles which is always a good sign! i definitely recommend!!

We popped in on an early Sunday morning and were greeted with a smile. Great coffee and chai. The toasted banana loaf with cinnamon sugar was decadant and scrumptious. The salmon and marscapone on toast was simply beautiful and plenty of it. I could have gone back to have it for lunch and dinner! The cafe is really pretty and a great mix of old with a typical scandanavian soft wood and stone

The part that is missing doesn’t cost anything! Can’t fault the teas, coffees, chocolate brownies etc., all excellent but why not serve with a smile, a bit if graciousness and a teaspoon or cake fork plus a serviette if warranted? The customer experience would be far better for only a little extra.

This place is so cute, every single thing on the menu is delicious, and the staff are so nice and hard working. Also the Scandi laite tastes like Christmas. I can't recommend this cafe enough!

Excellent as ever. Go regularly for coffee and cinnamon buns to take on a walk. New shop great improvement if you want to eat in.

A wonderful addition to any high street, this clean well run cafe serves up some windup coffee cake and sandwiches Whilst I’m a touch fussy and nothing really grabbed me for a breakfast, the sourdough toast was tasty and my wife loved her toasty The coffee is really good, whilst we associate Italy with coffee, it’s also very important in Scandinavia and they do the region proud with how they serve it here We can’t wait to go back

Ordered and paid for two coffees to take away. Four members of staff behind the counter milling around not doing a lot. Girl who took my order then started serving a family who couldn't decide what they wanted, and still no-one was dealing with my...

Steps to enter and 4 more to the toilet. They are selling out of date coffee. Food very fancy. Cakes are mainly traybakes. Looked down on us when we asked for knives and forks

Moved to Uppingham about a year ago and we always visited costa coffee being more urban in lifestyle. However for the past 6-8 months we have got out coffee from Scandi. Far better coffee, although smaller. They are a little on the pricey side but...

The place is known for its coffee and Cinnamon Buns and you must have one. Ambiance well it’s often full of pretentious wealthy people. So get out as quick as you can. and the welcome you get does depend on who is serving. The people...

Odd place, doesn't really seem to encourage eating in . But the toasted sandwiches were excellent. Cakes looked good. Coffee good and tea ok if you are fine with a tea bag in a cup.

Lovely friendly staff. I had a chai latte which was one of the best I’ve had and pesto and avocado sourdough… which was absolutely delicious! So impressed, I’ll be going here every time I’m in Uppingham for work.

We came across this small establishment when poking for something to take away for lunch. The sourdough toastiest were delicious and the coffee good. The service by the lady who I assume was the owner was friendly and I will happily go back. Recommended.

The customer service was good Coffee was great Cakes Fantastic Toasted Sandwiches so good I purchased one to take home and toast for dinner.

The person serving was cleaning the cake display cabinet out as we arrived and immediately told us she was closing at 1630 - it was 1555!! We had no help choosing a cake, which actually were delicious, hence the 1*. Two other people came in...

Visit to Stamford. Outdoor pavement area was full, as was the small seating area inside, but decided to wait just a few minutes for a table, assuming this to be a sign of a popular eatery, and with Stamford being a popular place on Market...

We were intrigued with the concept and staying in Uppingham for a few days visited for lunch. Sandwiches were delicious, although portion sizes appear irregular. Avocado, hummus open sandwich was half the size of the feta toasty? Only a tiny unit and the person serving...

Stamnford coffee shop , great coffee, great toasties as per usual. 5 people came into your shop with no masks on, not told . Lady outside commented too, so left and went to another coffee house. Same group ofpeople hugges and kissed indoors,this allowed?Counter staff...

We always visit Scandimania when in Uppingham - great coffee and cakes and the staff are really friendly. It's very small but stylish and has a nice Scandi vibe inside!

We enjoyed our first 'coffee and cake' since lock down restrictions here and felt very safe. The young lady who served us was friendly and both the beverages and the cake were very good. Highly recommended.

The best beetroot, apple and ginger juice ever tasted, and the pistachio cake is utterly fabulous. Apparently, the coffee is pretty excellent too. Given the current limitations, we were very impressed and will definitely be back.

Visited Stamford and was hoping for more to be open (it was a Monday), but once again this little coffee shop was open selling great coffee and cakes.

coffee is fine but the furnishings are a bit uncomfortable for me. quite a plain ambiance and not overly exiting. nice cake

Staff are always very nice and polite, cakes and toasties are delicious , I never have to wait long, I visit Uppingham most days for shopping and always call in.

Hands down the best coffee in Rutland. Yes it’s small, but it’s perfectly formed. The coffee is honestly the best around with cakes, buns & sourdough baked fresh every day. The place is small granted, so I get that it isn’t for everyone, if you want to go and hide away for awhile and drink your coffee, maybe go for a bigger place, however, I’ve always found this place cosy, the interior is classic in its simplicity & after regularly going here since it’s opened, I’ve made many friends. Would highly recommend.

Great coffee great food amazing independent shop, oh and the staff are amazing.highly recommend if you are visiting Uppingham and the lovely mollie makes a great coffee

Scandimania is a small but nice place with good coffees. Not a fan of a lot of coffee that is served in the UK but this place offers some strong coffee. Also assorted sandwiches and cake etc. on offer.

I live in Rutland and I'm a huge supporter of local businesses. But I have had the same poor service experience at Scandimania both times I have visited. Yes, it is a small space, but it is pretty, cosy and unique - I love the interior, but on each visit I ordered the same snack (a simple toastie) and both times it has taken over 30 minutes to arrive - and not because it's really busy, but because the young staff are too busy talking to themselves and not keeping an eye on customers and the timings of the food they are preparing. Today, I arrived at just after 9am and at 9.35am I had to get up and ask how long the toastie would be. The staff looked stunned as they processed the fact they had forgotten the order. It has been cooked but then left it in the microwave. No other customers had order food, so they were not cooking for anyone else. There were only two other people who came in and ordered coffee and cake during the 30 minutes I waited. It meant I then had to scoff the burned, stringy cheese, pesto toastie in order to get to my appointment. I was given an apology and a voucher with a free coffee, but as this was a repeat experience I felt really let down and sad as I do not want to buy from Costa Coffee. I see that I am not the only one to have had the same experience with the young employees - I suggest the owner gives them some customer service training PRONTO so they focus more on the customers and less on gossiping amongst themselves (which we can all hear) and forget about the food they've put in the microwave....

I used to go to Scandimania regularly for a coffee and cinnamon bun before work - coffee is good and the buns delicious.However I've noticed since the new Stamford branch has opened, that the Uppingham one has suffered. There's been a number of times I've gone in and the cinnamon buns (arguably one of their biggest selling points) still haven't been delivered - they always used to be there even if you got there 1 minute after they open. I've also had juices where they've had to substitute ingredients as they didn't have any of one of them.And today I went in to get a coffee and bun, there were no buns on display and I was told at the counter after I ordered that it was cash only as their card machine was broken - there had been no mention of this on their social media/a sign in the window/I wasn't told before ordering. So I had to walk away without anything as Uppingham doesn't have any cash machines!Shift some of the focus back onto this store from the Stamford one and I'm sure it will be back up to scratch in no time!

New to Uppingham so seeking good dog friendly coffee shop. This one is ok, but small and quirky not in a good way. Service though is excellent, attentive and friendly. My personal preference is Raffa’s, because it’s bigger and better value.

Finally got to try this place, we've passed by several times on our way to other things. We really enjoyed our first visit, the coffee was bit different to the norm and the open sandwiches were interesting and tasty. The Scandi theme worlks well, however the cafe is very small with limited seating so if you want to eat, choose your time wisely.

We just went for a coffee during market day ( Friday ). Great service and nice decor. We always try and get coffee at a local shop rather than the National chains and this one ticked al the boxes.The coffee was good value and great quality. they do decaf as well!

Though multinational coffeehouses such as Costa™ have regrettably invaded leafy Rutland, still this delightful place remains - A beacon of hope for independent business, a stronghold for individuality and quality. Offering excellent coffee, toasts, juices and other confectionary, Scandimania embodies the perfect British coffeehouse while also providing a refreshingly Nordic influence in both the menu and the minimalist decor. Strongly recommended.

Very small coffee shop, seats 10 at a time. Coffee fine, Service quick.Thing that annoyed me and I "ve seen it said in other reviews about this place, it was run by 2 young women and a couple of their friends came in for coffee, then all you could hear was them gossiping for the next 10 minutes. Not very professional I thought. Then when we got up to leave they could bearly tear themselves away to say thank you. Sorry girls, not the way to do it.

Popped in for a coffee and sandwich with my wife yesterday, the place was infested with wasps and needed a clean. Coffee was good and sandwich was lovely. Surroundings not so great. Would not return!

A great cafe for minimalistic Scandi style, superb coffee and very good brownie, what’s not to like?

This coffee shop has really supportive staff, having had troubles with eating in the past and present they have been very warm and welcoming which has created a comfortable environment for me to eat in and start eating in public, as there is such a friendly atmosphere. Julia is always so lovely and remembers all of her customers which really makes you feel welcome. I love the small space as it helps to create such a good atmosphere as everyone talks to everyone and makes it feel like you are at home. Would definitely recommend this to anyone! Thank you scandimania!!!!!!

This is certainly not my first visit, but may well be my last! Brought my partner as we were coming to an exhibition at the gallery and I was keen to show him the cafe where I'd had great drinks and light lunches in the past. There was no space at our first attempt so we wandered around town for a bit until we could try again. Sadly the two teenage staff spent out entire visit conducting a private conversation at top volume, barely acknowledging the presence of any customers. The subject matter of the conversation was not exactly something one would like to be sharing with the general public, and we certainly felt uncomfortable as intimate and gossipy information was shouted across the space. It felt like we were rather in the way of the conversation and drinks were plonked down without ceremony, the girl hardly breaking the flow of the conversation which continued like this for at least 15 minutes, by which time we were hurrying to depart, as the whole experience was awful. Please do some training of your staff in customer service. They are not being paid to converse, let alone actually put customers off with the sheer volume of their exchanges! Sad, because I've enjoyed coming here for a couple of years now.

Small cafe on Uppingham High Street offering an alternative to the coffee shop chain experience.Good coffee, friendly staff and tasty snacks especially the toasted sandwiches. If you’re not up for a coffee, the smoothies are fresh... the ginger, carrot and apple variant has a real kick!A few seats inside and a bench to the shop front.

Much as others have said the coffee is excellent, the place is small, but pretty and because of that the non stop chatter of the staff is more intrusive than it would be in a larger place. It’s still a revelation to us oldies just how much the under 30s use “like” in a sentence. It’s “like” every “like” other word! Would be 5 stars if they could find a slightly bigger venue on the lovely town centre

This is a charmingly busy restaurant/ cafe, offering some pretty authentic Scandinavian open sandwiches. Reasonable prices. One small grouse- is the seating made so deliberately uncomfortable to ensure swift turnover of customers? There can be no other justification.

Very good service and nice food. Staff were friendly and drinks and food were prepared quickly! Try the Buns!!

This cafe serves up delicious coffee and great smoothies as well as gorgeous snacks. A very social affair as it is a very petite spot and there is no hiding away in the corner. I am so glad we chanced up this place and had a fantastic surprising brunch

While I have no complaints about the food, it was good if somewhat basic. I went on market day (only 50 yards away) and the poor girl was rushed off her feet but was pleasant, and trying hard. full marks to her. I went as I had heard the coffee is the best in Uppingham, this is a matter of personal taste and while good I would not go that far. I found the cafe it's self left a lot to be desired. There only twelve covers, all arranged around the outside of the room mostly on benches with only the wall to lean back on. No comfort there then. There are four very small round tables in the centre of the floor, easily knocked over as one patron managed to do with ease.It is not at all wheelchair friendly, with a 4/5 inch step up to access the entrance door. A very sharp left turn to get to the door, made impossible without removing the advertising literature from the premises next door. A problem of a shared entrance. If you manage to overcome these obstacles and avoid scattering the tables, which incidentally are very low for wheelchair users and the window shelf is far too high with difficult high stools. You come to the problem of toilet access. the gap in the counter is way too narrow for any wheelchair. Meaning the person would have to stand to proceed and overcome the steps to exit the rear of the building. Assuming they could remove the assortment of vegetables placed on them. The cafe was very popular showing they must have got a lot right but every customer I saw was able bodied with a lot taking their food out.

Friendly accommodating staff, delicious food and drink, pleasant position on the High Street. I have allergies and they were quick to offer the best options for me.

Absolutely spectacular milk skills, exceptional grind served by a spectacular barista. Stunning minimalistic style which is sympathetic to the size and age of the building. Would definitely visit again highly recommend to any one wanting an uplifting coffee experience.

had a need for a coffee and a snack, as it was just about closing time we were still made to feel welcome. The snacks were different but in a good way. we enjoyed them and will be back for more.

visited on the 22nd of february, what a lovely cafe! Staff were more than welcoming and easily accommodated changes in food. Ordered a toast, juice and slice of cake which were all delicious and freshly made by the wonderful staff! Extremely friendly and a lovely atmosphere.. left this review after seeing others commenting on the ‘snooty’ atmosphere which there wasn’t at all! also unsure of what the colour of a waitresses nails have to do with bad service!! Amazing and will definitely visit again

This Swedish coffee shop is tiny but perfect, the coffee is the best in town and the young team who run it are always charming and polite even when they are incredibly busy .it is obvious from the outside that seating is limited and intimate but this does not take away from the comfort of the experience. I have always found the staff to be inclusive and accommodating. their Swedish cinnamon buns are yummy and sell out fast which is testament to their deliciousness . there is a big boring coffee chain up the street if you want space but I would squeeze in at Scandimania any day xx

I was shocked by how small the place is, no room to sit and when there is room there is no privacy and it is an uncomfortable wooden bench. Customers were chatting with the staff (I assume the owner) and I felt slightly uncomfortable and excluded. I feel to be happy going to this place you need to be “in with the crowd” if not you’re unwelcome. I felt there was a certain element of gossip between staff and their obviously close customers and I personally, do not want to get involved in negative chat like that. For me, as someone who has lived in the area for years, I don’t think this brings out the best of uppingham. The limited food selection just helped me to decide I wouldn’t want to return. Shame as it could be lovely and quirky but the atmosphere was just off for me.

well,if you read my other reviews you can see i do not moan on and complain readily...yet today i had some of the single worst customer service i have ever experienced...we popped in for 2 coffees and the girl behind the till seemed more into chatting to her mate who was sitting at the bar,i asked for sugar in mine which i am guessing she forgot..felt really unwelcome ...turqoise nail polish in a place serving food!! come on...was a very snooty place indeed...full of yummies who have got little else to do apart from discuss the merits of only ever eating beetroot bread!!!....coffees in fairness was fine but stafff...well maybe get some training in customer service

The best coffee and cakes in town; friendly service; stylish and cosy decor, this cafe has it all. Founded and ably run by Swedish Julia and her team of charming staff, this cafe is justly beloved by its Uppingham regulars as well as passers-by. The small size of the cafe turns out to be its greatest asset: cheerful conversations are easily struck up all day long. A must.

I have been a regular visitor to this Stunning Establishment on High Street East Uppingham since it's inception in 2017. The coffee is the best in Rutland if not the Uk.It is made with passion, love & expertise.The food is also stunning & made to order.The cakes are to die for.Julia & her excellent staff provide an oasis of calm in our very busy lives.Thank you Julia & staff.

My wife and I visited Uppingham as we were in the area and stopped by Scandimania after reading the review on TripAdvisor. We easily found it and was surprised how tiny it was. Very dark old interior with a small bench with two seats at the window, bench seating along each wall seating four small or three adults with horrible dirty throws on the benches, no cushions, two tiny filthy tables each side that hadn’t been wiped all day by the look of it. The floor was filthy and full of crumbs, with dirty splashes up the side of the coffee machine and anywhere else that I looked , the two girls serving were hardly busy but still got my order wrong and although it was about 2pm had a very small selection of cakes, my wife had an appalling spiced apple and salted caramel tart, it was super sweet and very dry, my coffee Americano was so hot it wasn’t drinkable so after my wife finished her passable latte we left very quickly, I also noticed that no chopping boards were used to prep food the cucumber was just cut straight on the counter and no attempt was made to wipe anything. Really really poor, definitely give it a wide berth

The coffee is excellent and there is a good selection of alternative drinks including smoothie. The vegan cake range is amazing and different every day. The toasts are unusual and excellent. The only downside is there is not much seating.

Scandimania is perfect for healthy, light bites and the best coffee ever. I’ve been here several times and it’s consistently great. Lovely warm, friendly atmosphere and gorgeous minimal ‘Scandi’ inspired decor. Gets busy sometimes, but that’s because it’s so good! Wish we had a Scandimania in Oakham, because I’d be there all the time. Cinnamon Buns are the best!

This is a very friendly and cozy cafe. The coffee is great and the Swedish cinnamon bun is soo amazing!

After reading so many positive reviews on Facebook & Trip Advisor, I just had to visit Scandimania. This lovely little place has become my number one choice whenever I'm passing Uppingham, which I find myself doing much more often now! The staff are lovely, friendly and welcoming, their coffee is possibly the best I've ever tasted and the healthy, freshly made Scandinavian inspired food is a real treat. The handmade Cinnamon buns are delightful, but they do sell out fast! I can't recommend Scandimania highly enough and despite Costa recently opening just down the road, I don't think they'll have anything to worry about. There's something very special about an independent business, run by people with a genuine passion for what they do.

I had such high expectations for this little cafe, we have regularly visited and recommended it to our family and friends, we love the healthy options and have spent a lot of money since it opened, my only concern is the surly owner who is rude and snobby I kept on thinking maybe it’s just me as you don’t have to be friendly to everyone do you? however she has become so rude I don’t ever want to go back! It costs nothing to treat your customers with a friendly smile and with respect, We find this little coffee shop very cliquey and snobby, if you prefer to be treated with respect, with a smile and kindness, then I suggest The Falcon for breakfast/lunch or Dinner or Baines Bakery for wonderful take away freshly baked rolls etc.

Nothing wrong with the service/tea/coffee, but we were a little put off by the fact that a dog was in the cafe ( if it had been a necessary guide dog, ok ) but not an average pet dog. . Luckily the owner had the dog under very good control, but no, not where food is being served thank you.

Went to this normally reliable coffee house this morning. Ordered 2 macchiatos & a cake. Cake came quickly & was good. About 15 minutes later one glass of very milky coffee arrived. I said it wasnt a macchiato & I couldnt drink coffee with milk in it. She took it away. 10 minutes later she gave us 2 small cups; she had poured the previous milky coffee into the two cups & topped with foam. Coffee was cold & for me undrinkable.We paid £2.50 a cup for this. If she had said she couldnt do a macchiato I would have had an espresso. We couldnt be bothered to complain any further as she was struggling to complete the orders of 2 other customers. I wont go back again.

As Australians, trying to find a decent coffee in England is close to impossible, but if you happen to be in the East Midlands then a visit to Scandimania Coffee House will not disappoint! The quaint market town of Uppingham is also worth a visit. Stroll along High Street and pass Uppingham School, one of England's public (private) schools. If you are there on a Friday, then visit the local market to see the England you will recognise from many of the TV shows we see at home.

This is our local coffee house and being picky coffee drinkers it couldn’t have been a more perfect discovery in our new village. Julia and the girls are fantastic and always light up your day. The simply food items and baked goods are super tasty and baked fresh daily. The Oat Milk Flat White has been a lifesaver.

It is a small friendly space where I have my coffee frequently and taste some very different kinds of vegan cakes.

4 of us returned for coffee last week. Tiny coffee shop with great atmosphere. Coffee range is excellent and their food is different from the usual coffee houses around. Very welcoming staff. Always try to visit each time we are in Uppingham

Service is incredibly slow if you have time and I mean lots of it then this is worth trying the sourdough and avocado with a lovely cup of coffee.

Scandamania is a wonderful coffee house, the drinks are excellent and served with so much attention. Coffees, teas and fresh juices. Staff are very friendly. The cinnamon buns are to die for, an essential snack every visit.Also my favourite is the honey and goats cheese on sour dough. Seating is limited and cosy but the place is friendly and enjoyable to sit in, but you can get anything to take away if no seating left. A must to visit!

This little shop has a cosy , community feel because you are quite close to the other few who can fit in, but suddenly you are transported to being in Copenhagen or somewhere similar in Scandinavia. There is a lovely atmosphere and wonderful menu. I only stopped for coffee but will have to go back for lunch as the menu was delicious. The wooden floor, benches and tables with cushions and candles add to the charm. If you go in and think there isn't a space don't leave!!! People will move up to make room and it's worth it. The coffees we had were lovely.

Great coffees with friendly staff, but not the fastest of service though. The seating is effectively benches around the edge of the shop, was surprised that there was not more choice of cakes. Very worth visiting as the coffee is great

Gorgeous food, juices and coffee, topped off with friendly service. Small premises but makes it all the more sought after and appreciated when you get a seat! If in Uppingham, absolute must. Brilliant variety and choice for vegans.

Gorgeous little gem in the heart of Uppingham. The most delicious coffee and home made treats plus healthy lunch options. Very popular - testament to the excellent service and warm atmosphere.

Visited with my partner for the first time today and we loved it. The menu is fairly simple but given the size of the kitchen, I’m amazed at what they produce there. There were six delicious sounding open sourdough toasts - of which we had the smoked salmon and cream cheese with chilli and the hummus and avocado with chilli and seeds. They were both every bit as good as we hoped and topped off with a flat white and a chai latte. They do a surprising selection of drinks and smoothies and some Scandinavian cakes and pastries. We’ll definitely be back to sample more of their food and drink. Be warned though - the restaurant is minute but it makes it very cosy. The styling is pared down Scandi chic in soft pinks, yellows and greys with little concrete and wood tables and tall metal stools. All of which contributes to the cosy welcoming atmosphere.

What a lovely spot. Superb open sandwiches on sour dough bread from a tasty range of options. Amazing coffee and juices. All consumed in a quirky interior which reminded me of a waiting room of a sleepy one platform European village railway station. This was the perfect start to Saturday. Scandi chic in Uppingham. Where Rutland becomes Jutland. Enjoy.

I've been here about 5 times now - my husband visits on the way to work most days. I've stayed in and had take-aways. The food and drinks are of a high quality with friendly service. Nice choices on a small menu (but that's not a downfall)I just wished that Uppingham was on my commute route as I'd be a daily customer!

really tasty food and good coffee, interesting range of sandwiches and hot selections. Chairs could be more comfortable but you ignore it with the cafe's quirky appeal. A fun cafe experience that adds to Uppingham's many charms.

Went in for an afternoon coffee. Tiny cafe with only a few seats, but lucky enough to get in when it was quiet. Great tasting coffee served in pretty glasses.

What a find this little coffee shop is. Delicious mocha and cappuccino. Great buns and sandwiches too. A must for brunch. A bit tight for space but they do takeaway

Having heard lots about Scandimania, I felt a need to visit! It didn't disappoint. Deliciously smooth coffee and a tasty cinnamon bun in a calm, small space with prompt, friendly service. Perfect! I'll definitely return to have one of their lunches.

If yoy are looking for healthy options for lunch and amazing coffee look no further.Great atmosphere, friendly staff and simple, healthy food, what else would you want.Just a shame I only work in Uppingham 2 days a week so can only go for lunch twice a week.

Just love this place, very happy to have Scandimania in Uppingham. Cinnamon buns are fantastic and I love the salmon toast with dill, lemon and chilli.

My mom has been dying to bring me here every since she discovered scandimania, and I now know why. I honestly fell in love with it all. I am VERY fussy when it comes to coffee and am a true believer that having a coffee is the whole experience, not just grabbing a coffee from any coffee shop. I had an oat milk flat white and a cardamom and cinnamon bun, could not fault it... she's hit the nail on the head

Some lovely tempting treats in such a small cafe, right on the high street. Tested them out on their cinnamon buns and a chocolate and coconut powerball! Fabulous-both-really good bun with great spices, and homemade by the owner. Opted for the unusual beetroot latte which I'd never had before-what a treat-loved it!!! Now I just need to go back to try the tempting sourdough open sandwiches and coffee!!

Small and neat Scandimania serves really wonderful coffee. With a Scandinavian influenced interior this was a perfect place to stop for a mid morning drink and cinnamon bun. Although we didn't sample them they also sell fresh juices and I was intrigued by the beetroot latte; will give that a try next time.

In a globalised world, it's so nice to see a small, independent business that's flourishing. The ambience is warm and welcoming, the food and coffee delicious. This is a very welcome addition to Uppingham's range of eating places: it's different to most and, being honest, better than most as well. Good luck to them.
