Strawberry Grove in Windsor and Maidenhead

16 April....It's been shut for two weeks they are spinning a story about "being closed for refurbishment and we don't know when it will reopen"

Ordered a selection of sweet treats delivered to our business. The scones were delicious, supplied with individual clotted cream and mini strawberry jams. The bakewell tart and lemon cake were excellent too. Arrived on time and very good quality food.

I've been to Strawberry Grove in Maidenhead quite a few times and the food has always been delicious. The cakes are perfect, with plenty of choices available, there's a good selection of options on the menu, the smoothies are delicious and the service is good, Sarah in particular is brilliant. It's good if you have children, with plenty of toys and activities available. More than once I've come away with extra slices of cake to bring home for later. I can't wait to go again.

Stopped here for a coffee while waiiting for my car to be serviced. The menu was limited due to staff shortages, this however did not affect me. There was a good selection of cakes and I was tempted to the carrot cake, which was excellent. The cafe was quite busy but the staff member was friendly and cheerful. I paid my bill and I was told they had an offer on at the moment - buy a coffee and you get the cake free. Excellent, she didn't have to tell me that. I shall be back.

I wondered into this wonderful, flowery, quaint venue, I needed to find somewhere to have my call and I was running late so got on the internet and found this marvelous place in Maidenhead, wow. Gorgeous food, I had the New York Bagel, absolutely delicious, service was excellent, I just didn't want to visit ANOTHER Starbucks, Costa Cafe Nero. I'm definitely coming back and even ordered a smoked salmon and cream cheese bagal for husband as sent him a photo of mine and he wanted one too, lovely place, keep doing what you're doing!!!

We have been coming to this restaurant on and off since it opened and it never fails to be anything but excellent. We went yesterday and it was extremely busy and they were short staffed but the service was efficient, food was fantastic as usual and the staff were polite and friendly even though they were clearly under pressure. They explained there would be a delay in food coming out because of the staff shortages but made sure we had drinks and anything else we needed until it was ready. I really can't fault this place and for those customers who were less than understanding be kind to these hard working staff who are only trying to make your visit as enjoyable as possible.

Visited here with my baby, 7 other mums and their babies! We all had our prams with us and they were super accommodating. We called up before to reserve a table for us and they could not have been more helpful. The food and drink were excellent, so fresh and delicious and the service was fantastic! Yes I will be returning here again. 10/10 would recommend!

Had the pleasure of visiting on a midweek afternoon with my family during a visit to Maidenhead. Really gorgeous decor, service with a smile, and generous portions of excellent food. We will be returning!

Visited for breakfast today. Very accommodating when pre-warned about use of mobility scooter. Couldn't do enough to help. Very considerate of my needs. Lovely food. Great service. Will return when next in Maidenhead!

My two children and I visited strawberry grove Maidenhead for lunch today and had a very relaxing and enjoyable experience, which is unusual with a one and a three year old. I did ring ahead to book and to advise that I would require a high chair and to let them know that I’d have a double buggy with me. Staff, in particular Sarah were very accommodating found a large table where we would not be in anyone’s way and could keep the buggy with us. When taking our order, Sarah was kind enough to recommend things for the children and be flexible with the menu options. There are so many yummy options on the menu, it’s hard to decide. We then borrowed children’s books from the little library to read as we waited for our food, which wasn’t long at all. When it came it did not disappoint and everyone was happy! All in all a very successful lunch. Thank you.

We had the salt beef bagel with skin on fries and freshly made bananna milk shake. The food is absolutely delicious and on par to the salt beef restaurants in New York, definitely the best we have had in Europe, Sarah our waitress was so warm and friendly, the strawberry Grove is the perfect quirky place to eat such delicious food and drink very tasty milkshakes. You would be crazy not to visit here when in Maidenhead

Discriminatory towards solo customers. Cafe is more focused on making money than customer service. Staff were keeping tables free for larger groups and told me to come back in 30 mins. When I went back I was offered a table situated in a crowded area while other people who arrived after me were offered tables by the side wall Very disappointing

I have sat in and had a delivery both experiences were excellent. We had a lunch with Proseccos, very chilled vibe. Breakfast was tasty but not keen on chilli in avocado and I asked to have extra mushrooms instead of halloumi but that didn’t happen. Overall though, very good 😀

Since we moved to the UK three decades ago, we have regularly bemoaned the stingy approach to sarni fillings. When we first arrived, the meat in sandwiches was a comically sparse with micro-thin sliced single piece. We were used to American-style sandwiches which were so packed Dagwood-style that you could barely get your mouth around them. Strawberry Grove is one of the first (non-chain, like Subway) establishments we have come across that fills its sandwiches with sumptuous amounts of meat filling. Not only that, but they feature an American deli delicacy, Salt Beef, in a variety of concoctions. I had the "Reuben Bagel" and it is the best Reuben I've had in the UK. I would love for them to go the extra step to make a "proper" Reuben with light rye bread, but the bagel version works quite tastily. As a bonus, sweet option, they sell huge, fluffy, cinnamon buns which are also among the tastiest we have sampled in the UK. I'm not a fan of the granulated sugar that they top them with, but my wife is addicted to them. If they could whip up some basic "goop" frosting, they could have a proper "Cinnabon" rival that I think would captivate even more customers. The reason for my 4-star review is their weak service. I appreciate how difficult it is operate a cafe in these pandemic times (our sun runs a great cafe in Forest Hill), but when you have a popular take-away offering, one would think that you could make the most of it. Essentially, they are understaffed. And with so many retail workers out of work, you would think they could enlist a few folk to work a few hours for some dosh. This past weekend when I went to get our bagels (a simple uncooked sandwich), there was a 20 minute queue wait followed by a 20 minute food prep wait. The previous weekend, my wife faced the same wait and after the wait, they got her order wrong.

My first order through Just Eat ended up with mud and grit on the salad. Daniel, the manager followed up straight away after I complained and was super apologetic! He reviewed and optimised the complaints process for the team, and explained that they would be extra careful during the QA check before the food leaves the restaurant. Since then, I have ordered again and the food was perfect! Thank you Daniel. You took the time to hear about my experience and take on board my feedback. Every customer matters for Strawberry Grove and it’s customer care and service like this that makes me want to support our local business during these challenging time’s!

Visited this fabulous little place on two separate occasions one for Lunch and the other for Breakfast, both meals were fantastic, fresh food, great service, fantastic atmosphere, and on both occasions with different waiting staff, the service was impeccable, can highly highly recommend it pay it a visit.

Only called in for a coffee while my car was being serviced. Very pleasant surroundings and quite busy - social distancing being observed! Ordered a coffee which was brought to my table. Pleasant staff. the food being produced looked good with an excellent selection of cakes. I think I might be calling again .

Came for a birthday breakfast and wanted to try somewhere new, was not disappointed! The food was fantastic quality and will definitely be back!

This was a bit of a Mum's café, a couple of groups of Mums and toddlers. The decor is a bit basic; they are trying to look like a country kitchen come village tea room. I don't get the surrondings.I like going out to eat things I wouldn't normally cook at home. Here, I couldn't see anything on the menu that fitted my needs. They had big home-made cakes that screamed "sugar" and didn't excite me. So I ordered a scone and instantly regretted it. My teeth furred up, the texture being dry. The drinks menu had a range of teas and coffees. I was offered a choice of Flat White sizes so I knew it was going to come as a milky coffee. This just wasn't a happy experience. Would I go again? No

One of the best lunches I’ve had in ages! ( salt beef hash) This dish was incredibly tasty, fresh and a very generous portion. They were on the ball with the service. Invited me warmly in. Asked me to sit down and they would come to me. Gave me a menu and drink straight away and I had a lovely little lunch by myself. Everything was cooked to perfection and was bloody delicious-thank you very much. Made my day

We were very impressed by the variety of tasty meals (and the range of vegan and vegetarian options) on the menu. My boyfriend had a salt beef sandwich and I had the salmon, cream cheese and avocado bagel which were both delicious and a generous portion size. The interior design maybe needs a little work but the staff were really friendly and the food lovely - we will definitely be visiting again to sample more of the menu!

Menu very simple, prices not reflective of quality. Even the sandwiches are fairly straightforward and nothing more than you could easily make at home with a few ingredients. Underwhelming.

We had a late breakfast and smoothies here and it was really lovely, great fresh ingredients and all freshly prepared. Really prettily decorated, great service, and lovely atmosphere. We've said we need to make this a more regular thing!

Very nice food great service.friendly staff and you can take your dog with you...and it’s fairly well priced.

£12.60 for small cup of Americano, cappuccino, lemon drizzle cake and undercooked millionaire shortbread. Ouch.

We were here for Brunch. A lovely ambience, welcoming staff, efficient service, but the food, while okay, wasn't inspiring.

A lovely place to meet with friends for lunch or coffee/tea - fantastic cakes! There is space between the tables to fit prams and the space is bright and airy.

Nice place run by the young peps and has an excellent veggie breakie. The salt beef is also good and handsomely served too. The windows do steam up a bit thou.

We just had an absolute superb dining experience.Booked a Christmas Diner.So delicious. Every course from the choice of 4 starters, main and deserts was so tasty. Everything on the menu is absolutely prepared and cooked like at ‘mums’. All home cooked with fresh ingredients.The stuff had there full attention on us to make us feel really comfortable. Absolutely recommend this place. Quiet, clean and looked after with love.Thank You for this evening.We come again.

I have heard about this place before and finally had the chance to get there for the first time. Place looked clean, actually it was clean. We had early lunch and the soup was just the right one to order as weather was cold. Menu had plenty to choices, and the service was friendly. The window is quite large and I felt that perhaps a half curtain would give the place a warmer and more intimate ambience whilst passers-by could still see inside it f they want to. Just a suggestion :o)

Have walked past this place a few times Its like a pastel coloured nursery so if kiddies running about is not your bag keep away However if you like a light airy environment busy and relaxed with families , dogs and some comfy sofas this is your kind of place For mr vegan here it was really pretty good . My partner had a full English I had the vegetarian and asked for some adjustments to veganise it . Really good . The sourdough toast was outstanding .Good range of dairy free milks for my coffee but we’re advertising hazelnut which I was then told they didn’t do No matter oat milk was on offer .It’s mid to high price range but it’s good quality and efficient table service .Interesting menu including Buddha bowls. Staff young , relaxed and smiley.Ginger and lemon tea looked excellent It’s a shame it’s at the wrong end of town for me or I’d be in here a lot

We have been here twice now and it has been excellent both times. The breakfast is our favourite - the meat is all very good quality and the mushrooms were amazing (even my boyfriend ate them!) They are accomotating to changes to the breakfasts too. The coffee is very nice and there is a lot of choice. It is on the pricier side but the quality reflects this.

The decoration in this gorgeous restaurant and tea room is as wonderful as the food. Such a bright sunny and cheery place. Full of colour and charm. The staff are lovely and the brunch was just lush! Great service and just what we needed after a girly night on the gin!! Thank you guys. You restored us.

Lovely decor, good choice of food,nice vibe. Downside coffee not very hot, pink place mat on table very dirty and when I walked in a few tables still with dirty dishes on them.

I needed brunch and walked all the way across town to go to Strawberry Grove as I thought it was likely to be vegan-friendly. And it is! But not for brunch. Faced with only a smoothie as an option I asked for the avo on toast but without the eggs. It was nice - it was avo on toast. But £8? For two tiny pieces of toast with avocado? No reduction even for not having the two eggs. It was only 75p cheaper than the full English breakfast! Probably won’t try that again.

Went here for coffee cake and a catch up with friends lovely atmosphere cozy and inviting. Will definitely go back again

Not from around here, so googled a few places to go for breakfast and the strawberry grove came up and it looked like a lovely little place, so me and my partner thought we would try it. I had a coffee and orange juice and he had a banana milkshake, all very yummy! Then both a ultimate breakfast, very good variety on the breakfast and really good quality. I feel very full and no grease in sight! The staff were also very attentive, smiley and polite. If I’m ever back in the area I would come again and I highly recommend! Would love to try the veggie breakfast. Also the best toast!

Came in today to see what everybody is talking about and must say had the best salt beef breakfast in a long time. The place itself was busy, but under control. The lady running it clearly overworked however managed it very well. Even had a chance to chat at the end. Highly recommend! Will return.

We had a delicious lunch here, the staff were friendly and attentive and the café was lovely and cool on such a hot day! They had a small selection of board games.

My daughter and I went for brunch at this fabulous little café/restaurant on Saturday . My daughter had been before I had not . It was so good we went on Sunday as well ! .

Had a lunch here on a weekday with my wife and we will certainly return. I had the Reuben sandwich - generous size portion. This is a good alternative to Bakedd and much better value

My sister invited a good friend over for an afternoon Birthday tea , she was gobsmacked, the food was first class with finger sandwiches, cakes, scones with clotted cream & jam, unlimited tea or coffee.

Best place to get home made sandwiches and salt beef bagels. Especially with their new take away deals. Im a returning customer and treated my mom for mothers day afternoon tea! Hope they do something for fathers day!? 100% Worth a try! Highly recommend!

Just went an got a salt beef fromage bagel and in all honesty it was not nice, the salt beef was so tough like eating rubber! and it was sliced over a cm thick! salt beef should be sliced thin and be tender almost falling apart this was the complete opposite also a lot of fat on the meat to add to rubber texture it already had, i paid £7 for that so expensive for something that's not done as it should be so quite dissapointed as i had high hopes.

I'm not a fan of desserts and sweet things in general but the lemon cheesecake from Strawberry Grove was very good. Quite tart and not overly sweet.

Had a lovely brunch there this morning. Very nice atmosphere and interior decor. Staff were very friendly and efficient. Food and coffees were delicious, we will definitely be returning!!

Visited on a Friday lunchtime before brunch menu had finished, fair play for still having this on until 2pm on a weekday. However the experience thereafter was pretty poor. Told no poached eggs or halloumi left, not a huge problem for us. But then they bring the meals over and say we don't have any Tomato Ketchup?!?! Now without being funny there is a big Waitrose around the corner I would have happily brought my own if I'd known? Problem seemed to be no senior people around, the two young servers were efficient and working hard, but obviously needed support or management to back them up with basic stock levels. Food was ok, a bit over priced. Won't return on the fact they can't get the simple basics right and be set for success...

Friendly service and great food prepared very quickly. Good choice of dishes for lunch and all at reasonable prices.

A lovely place to have an afternoon tea with my friends. The homemade sandwiches and cakes were delicious and plentiful. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Will definitely visit again.

My first visit to this establishment. Decor is bright and there is a general upbeat ambience. Staff very pleasant and efficient despite being a little thin on the ground.

Such a lovely place with lovely food all home cooked. The staff were very friendly especially the young girl I spoke to who I believe was called Emma from what I can remember, so lovely and willing to chat to strangers for hours! would definitely recommend for the atmosphere

Superior sausages and bacon from an Oxfordshire family butcher, eggs cooked perfectly and great service. Even my 15 yr old son was impressed, and that's quite something...

Had the pleasure to use this Maidenhead gem for an afternoon tea for my mums birthday. The food and service that was provided was outstanding! Although our rushed last minute booking, and a very busy service at arrival, we still felt the centre of attention. Most accommodating for our gluten free needs! Best place for a family weekend! Recommend highly!

We have been in this lovely spacious cafe on several occasions for a fresh coffee, full English breakfast which is absolutely amazing. The lunch menu is great and spoilt for choice with a variety of toasties for lunch, my ultimate favorite is the Mexican Salted Beef which is a "Must Try". The brightness and lovely calming colors inside is what makes it nice and cozy and the staff are really helpful and friendly.

I had the displeasure of this place today at lunchtime with my family. Sadly it doesn’t live up to the lovely website and menu. The waitress was friendly but so overworked, they’re seriously understaffed - took ages to get menus, drinks orders taken, food order etc. It then took 45 mins for food to arrive despite a 30 min warning. When the food turned up, my poached eggs were so undercooked I basically had a plate of clear egg white running all over my avocado and toast. Totally inedible. They included it on the bill despite my feedback and failure to eat it. I asked for that to be reconsidered and they offered me 10% off! 10%!!!! Wow. Can only assume people only visit this place once. After pushing the issue further, I got a free coffee (the one the waitress spilt).

Heard good things about SG and after a disappointing lunch at Coppa club, I decided to give SG a go. Had the mezze bowl and my friend had the halloumi bowl which were both very generous in size and delicious. We had fresh ginger/lemon tea which again was great. Served in proper quaint crockery, it really makes the whole experience very pleasant. Service efficient and friendly. Definitely going again.

Popped in here last Saturday for brunch. Good menu with lots of choice, being someone who doesn't eat eggs there was plenty for me to choose from. Coffee was very nice and the staff were able to offer alternative milk options. We ended up waiting about 30-40mins for our food, which I thought was slightly on the long side. However, the atmosphere was pleasant and the food was good when it arrived. Would return.

Child friendly and the food is very tasty. The Stilton & Sausage Melt is now on my menu at home. Will go again.

Nice little cafe in village centre ideal for a spot of lunch. Not a huge range however staff very friendly and helpful.

I've walked past this place a couple of times but finally decided to go in. Was swayed by a woman coming out who said "If you're thinking about going in, do! It's great". I had a salt beef bagel which was absolutely delicious. Coffee is great. Went back with a work colleague and had breakfast. Smashed avocado and poached eggs on toast was also really good. Highly recommend. The staff are super friendly and service was very good.

I came in the cafe the other day and thought it'd be another chain cafe. However, I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered a full English breakfast fallowed by a cappuccino. It was the best experience I had. Not only the staff was accommodating for all the needs. But also the service was with a smile rather than a grimace. The manager was lovely explaining how the cafe started off a few years back. Highly recommend! The place was full and cheerful! Enjoy!

An absolute delight. Very glad we visited for lunch. It makes a change to get service with a genuine smile and not feel like you are part of a machine.

Visited with my young children and parents around 10am. If you don’t want a full breakfast then food choice very limited. Almost no baked goods, croissants etc. Bought a rock hard flapjack for the kids to share and was surprised at £3.50 price tag. Plus they charged £1.50 each for two small babychinos. I love supporting independents but Nero with free babychinos and much more choice unfortunately suits us much more. There’s a lot of potential and would like to revisit to try the larger meals but i think with a lot of local competition, chains and independents, choice and price needs to improve.

We were really looking forward to visiting this new cafe. We go for brunch most weekend in Maidenhead. Unfortunately the service really let the place down, we had to wait well over 30 mins and for a small venue with quite a few staff that's just not good enough. The food was quite average. We have eaten here twice now and maby this was just a blip. We will try again at some point however, with Coppa Club and Roux (as well as already well established places like Flavios) offering Breakfast/brunch menus they really have to be spot on every time.

What a lovely little cafe! A group of four of us visited last Saturday and the place ticked all boxes for us, seated immediately, bustling atmosphere, great selection of brunch items and service with a smile. I was getting food envy at the balsamic mushrooms on sourdough and will definitely be ordering this next time.

After the arrival of Bakedd and Saints Cafe, the cafe scene is finally improving in Maidenhead. Strawberry Grove is another welcome addition. Light, bright, spacious and very inviting, you can a good selection of cold and hot food + a good coffee and tea bar. Will definately return.

Popped in for lunch, the hot salt beef sandwiches are amazing, nice friendly staff. The menu is lovely, there are many more items I want to try. Will be going back often.

Popped in to try this place and they laid on an excellent breakfast. Friendly staff and a great addition to the town

I used to live in Lane End and we went to Strawberry Grove a few times and it was great, but it was so small we would worry about not getting in so didn’t go as frequently as we would have liked.

Heard a lot about this new cafe in Maidenhead so I went today and it was incredible. You can see all the ingredients they use are high quality and it has some really quirky and current menu items like Buddha bowls and salt beef. I did however opt for a traditional ham, egg and chips which blew me away. The eggs were top notch and the chips were real hand cut ones which is very rare to find these days. The decor is also completely unique, clearly completed by someone with a great eye for interior design! Will definitely be back. I'll have to go and try their other cafe in Marlow now to compare!
