Teapot Tea Shop in Mole Valley

On a lovely sunny day we had to queue and We were then shown into a pleasant courtyard garden with tables spaced appropriately The waitresses were both very efficient and our lunch was served .we both thoroughly enjoyed our choice of menu and complimented the chef .

We are lovers of independent tea shops and home made cake, so we stopped off. Given the disorganised greeting, we sat down inside.For two cups of Earl Grey Tea and two pieces of cake, it was going to be £15. After much amusement, we decided one piece of cake would do between us. The cake was OK, but nothing spectacular and we've had far better cake creations and far cheaper. And 3.50 for a tea bag and hot water?Simply outrageous!

Sat out in the rear courtyard which was clean and tidy.We asked about the scones, jam and cream and were told by two servers that they had run out of sconesWe ordered cakes instead (only apparently two types left apparently), which were delicious.However we then saw three other tables who came in after us a few minutes later all order scones (9 orders in total). When we asked one of the servers, all she could mumble was that the scones were being baked - why were we not told this, as we would have waited a few minutes. We also noticed other types of cake being served, not just the ones we had been told were only available.The owner needs to organise the staff better, as sloppy service lets this teashop down.

Drove past and thought why not. Fully understand that they were following current Covid guidelines. Sat at the cleaned table and order taken, through masks, we still understood.Proper China, a decent pot of tea, two healthy slices of cake, £11.00 Simply fabulous that they were open.

We were walking the Thames Path and it was a muggy day so we decided to divert slightly at Cookham to see if we could get some tea. Came across this place. Love the mixed teapots and cups etc. Nice also to get such a good choice of cakes. Helpful staff and friendly service, although a little wait to be attended to.

Went in for my fairly regular (twice a week on average) morning coffee and cake. Knew what I wanted but was still told to take a seat and my order would be taken. Advised I would be outside in the garden.. so I waited , and waited. Gave up after 7 minutes ( a long time when you are just sitting there) and gave up and walked out through the shop. Just 2 customers there and I was still ignored.Was also in the tea shop with my wife on Sunday and all was fine.I like using the tea shop but this is not the first time service has been poor even when quiet. I may try the coffee shop next door...

The food is good as are the drinks but I just want to point out a couple of issues I saw re hygiene.A waitress came into the garden and spent a long time petting a customers dog, she went straight back into the kitchen without washing her hands, she also had extremely long painted fingernails which is a big no no from an environmental health perspective.Hopefully the manager will see this and pull her up on it.

We do not live locally but chose The Teapot from the buyagift voucher for afternoon tea. We had a great experience from booking to enjoying an amazing selection of sandwiches and cakes. Some cakes even came home in a doggie bag because we couldn’t finish them all! Thank you Diane and your team for a lovely afternoon in Cookham and wishing you all the best

I visited this place with three 12 year olds yesterday. Our order, in its entirety, consisted of one pot of tea, one lemonade, two hot chocolates and two pieces of cake.The bill was in excess of £22. The service was ok and the food and drink fine. But seriously, it's a mad world when people don't bat an eyelid at these prices.

Tasty food and not over-priced. Cooked breakfast with salmon very tasty. Convenient high st. location with a garden at the back

When walking around Cookham in need of a coffee, this tea room is a great place to go. The staff were welcoming, their attitude to hygiene was great and the chocolate cake was fabulous. The shop is very elegant, colourful and stands out amongst the other shops in the street.

We had booked the Teapot for a small event this pm, but had to cancel for the obvious reason.When I spoke to the manager, she immediately offered to refund the deposit which she was under no obligation to do. I also asked if they could make some sandwiches and cake for us to take out. This was no problem and all of the food was delicious including the gluten free items, which is not often the case.All done with a most endearing style. We shall certainly use the Teapot in future.

I wasn't sure of the dog friendly status of the restaurant, we were greeted immediately and shown to a table with plenty of floor space for Bruce to lie down. The menu looked small but there was lots of items I could have chosen. I'm very fussy as mainly a vegetarian, but I do have the odd fish meal. One of my favourites is bagel with smoked salmon and cream cheese. Bruce, of course, is not fussy. They have a variety of teas, not just the breakfast, green tea and fruit tea choice. I ordered my favourite, Darjeeling. 2 tables had placed their requirements just before mine. The tables were served in the order they were placed. When mine came I was very impressed with the presentation. The salmon was lovely, not tough. The bagel halves were warm and the salad was fresh. Summary: the tea and the food was lovely and service was efficient.

I've driven past this attractive-looking teashop hundreds of times, and always thought it would be a nice place to visit one day.My partner and I had walked along the towpath from Maidenhead and fancied a cuppa once we were in Cookham, and immediately this place sprung to mind.We had a nice friendly welcome, and the cafe was relatively quiet. We sat by the window, which was nice with the morning sun coming in.We'd only popped in for tea but, when we saw the menu with all the lovely food choices, decided that we'd enjoy some breakfast too!I had scrambled eggs, which were lovely - nicely presented and very tasty. There's lots of other nice snacks available too such as fresh cakes, sandwiches, jacket potatoes and wraps.We loved the decor too, and it has a nice quaint atmosphere with lots of interesting ornaments. We also liked the choice of music - the 'Gold' radio station, which played lots of familiar oldies and was unobtrusive and added to the relaxing ambience.We noticed there's a garden with seating too, so we'll definitely come back when it's a bit warmer and make use of that.In all all, a very enjoyable 'village-y' experience and somewhere that's well worth a visit away from the hustle and bustle of bland and impersonal chain cafes.Thanks so much for making us feel so welcome, and we look forward to our next visit!

We had a great experience here, staff very helpful and attentive, cake delicious and fresh with plenty of choice. Previous reviews had made me dubious on price and service but the price was what I would expect for freshly made cake and good quality tea.

Very disappointing scrambled eggs, they were rubbery/microwaved and the plates were cold, which is a no no for me. This used to be a go to for lunch, not any more.

The food is poor and terribly overpriced for what it is. I had scrambled eggs, and they tasted like they were microwaved - service is slow, even though when I went it was nearly empty. I wouldn't go back!

Great range of teas, delicious sandwiches and especially good chutney with the cheese. Vast scones with homemade jam. Interested range of cakes, too many slices to eat there and then but were given a doggie bag. Lovely eclectic mix of teapots, cups and saucers and plates. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Went to have tea with friends this afternoon and were not too sure where to go in Cookham.Came across this shop and looked very unimpressive from the outside.Clean but nothing fancy.However you enter the front door and are greeted with an absolutely scrumptious array of cakes.We went in about 2.30ish and it was quite so we had a choice of tables inside or outside dogs allowed out.Staff very pleasant and speedily served but not a problem as we hadn't yet chosen we were left to out own devices for another couple of mins and then our order was taken had wheat free cake oh what a joy i could join in with friends and have afternoon tea.Inside well set out

Lovely garden with shades and good view of the High Street the menu seems to have changed lately as a lady in the table said and “so have the prices !” Maybe £3.80 is a bit expensive even in this area but lovely cake.

Popped to the teapot for lunch today. Came a few times last year & found it very friendly.Unfortunately today was disappointing. The service was fine but disinterested. There was a significant wasp issue and we were sitting inside! When we attempted to discuss this with the waitress she was very unhelpful & again disinterested. The cakes were not great, the flapjack had to be eaten with a fork as it was so dry & crumbly. Such a shame but I will not be visiting again.

I never write reviews but I had to warn others of this awful place, I walked in and asked for a table for one please and I was just handed the menu with no mention of the process. I sat down waited and waited no one came then I asked the lady I wanted to order a coffee, she said sit down we will come to you, I waited and waited some more at this point I was just about to walk out, then finally the waitress came who wasn’t very welcoming and felt like she didn’t want to be there, there was another fella sitting on a table who she was so rude to. I ordered my coffee hesitate to order the cake as there were a swarm of bees around in the garden and in the tea shop, it just didn’t feel hygienic, I wouldn’t order food personally as for the price I wouldn’t expect them to use hovis bread which was clearly displayed in their kitchen.. after a little sit and so much drama just to have something simple as a coffee I’ve never experienced such appalling customer service! It finally got so bad with the bees I just gulped my coffee and ran out the place! I’ll never return.

Arrivati a piedi a Cookham da Meidenhaid cercavamo ristoro, e questo locale piccolo ma molto invitante ci ha attirato, con le sue tea pot di ogni forma e dimensione disseminate ovunque e con l'esposizione di torte sul bancone. Ci siamo accomodati al tavolino, abbiamo ordinato e abbiamo vissuto l'esperienza non turistica ma atentica del the. Torte buone, the e caffè forti e bollenti, atmosfera rilassata. In effetti i prezzi sono un po' alti, ma il gioco vale. Promossi.

Arrived in Cookham mid afternoon on Sunday and after checking into my hotel decided to go for tea at the Teapot tea shop nearby. Charming tea room, nice decor and seating inside and out. Friendly table service and ordered a pot of tea and a very nice tea it was too. Fresh home made cakes were available but I didn’t try, not sure why! Good value and definitely worth a visit.

Nice cup of tea and really lovely tea cakes, friendly staff and very reasonably priced. Will come again when next in the area.

This is a charming cafe for that perfect cuppa, either of tea or coffee. The food is delicious. Buck Rarebit being a favourite of mine, as is the coffee cake for afters. I had a delicious Latte too. The river is quite close, so that makes for a good walk to get an appetite or round up a nice day out.

We and two friends stopped here for a light lunch: There is an excellent choice of baguettes, panini, sandwiches, things-on-toast and other enticing stuff that looked great. Our food was freshly prepared and served promptly: each plate came with a generous salad garnish and coleslaw – neither of which were sullied by onion to our collective pleasure. The service was friendly, swift and efficient. The americano coffee was full-flavoured and quite strong (which we like). The only less-than-perfect item was the hot chocolate one of our party ordered – it is provided in component form: a mug of hot milk and a lump of chocolate on a stick that is supposed to melt in the milk, except the milk wasn’t hot enough to dissolve the chocolate properly.

Went with friend whilst recuperating from an operation. Lovely little tea shop in High Street in Cookham, approached through cottage door into beautifully presented tearoom. Lovely welcome from staff, into two rooms with garden seating too. We were seated in the window so able to watch the world go by!

A delightful place for a "cuppa", snack or light meal. It was very clean, the staff were friendly and helpful despite being quite busy.

Came here for my first solo outing with my new baby and was made to feel very welcome! The manageress saw I was breastfeeding my son and immediately said to just let her know if I needed anything and that we would always be welcome. I had been nervous about feeding out and about but her friendly attitude made me relax and enjoy my lunch. Also, the cakes here are delicious!!

The coffee and the cake is nice, and the place is beautiful. Lots of tea pots and cups as a decoration.

A pleasant enough tea shop although a little shabby and windows could do with a clean. Service was slowish and I definitely felt ignored for a while. Tea better than the coffee which was a bit weak for my liking. Cakes and location are a plus.

This is a nice little cafe. The coffee was not as nice as Costa but if you like tea... this is the place to come. The cakes are lovely. The service is great. Chill out here. I didn’t get to try the food but it smelt lovely. Got to go back.

We visited on a Saturday late morning. The coffee cake and carrot cake were delicious and service was good. Would come again - great for a pit stop after a walk along the Thames

Delightful Tea house and food is so fresh. One of my favourite places to stop when our on a bike ride. The ploughmans lunch is the best I have eaten. They serve food on proper china plates and cups and the cakes are so delicious also.

We were meeting a group of friends and decided that we would all meet up at the Teapot Tea Shop and what a good choice it was too. The staff were very friendly and had no problem accommodating us, in fact they moved furniture around for us so we could all sit together. Even tho we didn't have any cake they looked amazing and would of had a slice if we weren't all going for meal later in the day. Can highly recommend the crumpets tho, delicious

I drop into this cafe every other week for a take away sandwich and coffee. The staff are really friendly, the sandwiches are made fresh and when I have the time it is a lovely place to sit in!

Love the Teapot Tea shop, the food is excellent all made by Candy, the loveliest lady. Maisie always has a smile and nothing is too much trouble for them. Big plus is that for our dog Obi it is a home from home.

It was my second visit and I had the coriander and lime cake in mind. I was there at about 1.30 and after the ham toastie I waited and waited for the tea and cake. When I went up to say I had to cancel the rest as I had to go, the attitude was totally unconcerned. There wasn’t a small reduction in the size of the bill which might have been something.

This tea house is very well decorated and a good spot to stop for a drink. The chairs were very comfy and had nice pillows. The table was a bit dirty.

Step back a few decades when traditional values ruled. Go to the Teapot Tea Shop for a superb breakfast, light lunch or traditional tea. Great home-baked cakes and pastries. In the summer there is an outside garden. Dogs allowed. This is what England is all about.

We love walking around Cookham on a Saturday morning, looking around the shops, we stopped in here for tea, there are so many varieties. We had Darjeeling and a couple of crumpets each, it was a typical English summers day and was raining, so the tea and crumpets were very welcome. Our son had lemon and blueberry cake, the cakes are amazing, it's a shame to cut a slice out of them really as they're a work of art!

Friendly staff give a warm welcome. Sandwiches are delicious and homemade cake tasty. Been here a few times and never disappointed. We had cheese and ham ploughmans which were served with home made chutneys, delicious. Lovely authentic English teashop.

Dropped in for a light lunch while walking around Cookham.

This quirky little cafe has good coffee and the buck rarebit made a really good breakfast. Perfect cheese and tasty poached eggs. A delight. There’s outside seating in the garden. Well worth trying.

We had our breakfast there today - it was lovely, delish food, nice tea & very friendly service. The place itself is sweet and has that ‘English tea house feel’

A longish walk to arrive mid afternoon left us hungry and thirsty - 3 Ideal customers you would have thought.

Have been here a few times en route to Cookham Dean. Pleasant ladies who serve great cakes and sandwiches.

Walking the Thames path from Maidenhead to Henley, my wife and I needed a morning tea/coffee fix. And for me a scone, too. At the Teapot, not only was the welcome warm, the tea lovely and the scone light, this place showed it could handle anything. The place was rather full when we got there midmorning on a glorious Sunday. The server apologized that service would be a bit slow because of the other patrons. No worries, we said; many people imply you are good. We had just been served when a club of a dozen or more bicyclists arrived, hungry and thirsty for their mid-ride stop. Another shop might have sent them away because they couldn't serve anyone else. The Teapot welcomed them warmly, showed them a garden where they could sit with their bikes, and advised them what they could serve quickly and what would take a while. A win for all!

Poems get written about places like this. Walking the Thames Path this is virtually on the route. Nice place, nice atmosphere, nice garden. The tea was lovely as were the scones. Served well. Idyllic.

My Lady and I cycled over from Marlow for a scone and some tea. Today tea was replaced by Diet Coke because it’s quite warm outside. The ride was nice and so was sitting in this tea shop for a break. Nice staff and many choices of tea and cakes. A lovely garden outback is hidden from view but a great place to enjoy the sun and a scone. Thanks for a great stop on our ride.

We went to the teapot tea shop for a nice afternoon tea after our dog walk and it was such a nice way to end our day. The food was lovely and all of the people there were so nice to us.

We visited for lunch with our daughter and her partner. They love it. It's a delightful place. The garden is a gem tucked away behind the cafe. It's really is a secret garden and so peaceful.

Myself and some friends stopped here mid morning whilst on a long walk to have some tea and cold drinks. We sat outside at the back which was very nice indeed. The service too was friendly and helpful

Stopped in for a cup of tea and some cake on bank holiday Monday,sat in the lovely garden and were greeted with friendly table service.

A tiny Berkshire village tea shop with a great atmosphere.

The staff were very welcoming and didn't mind our muddy shoes! We were hoping to try the scones but decided against when we realised they weren't home made however the carrot cake we had instead was delicious & very generous sized!

Called in here whilst walking the Thames Path for a quick coffee. Small place with a garden. All rather quaint. But good service and excellent coffee. What more can you ask.

Found this tea shop on a wet windy afternoon. In need of tea we ordered a sandwich and scone each. Baguette nice with plenty of salad and crisps on the side. Scones I don’t believe were homemade doughy and cloying! What a shame as delicious jan and clotted cream to accompany them. Other cakes all looked delicious and were homemade! Need to change as a letdown!!

Nice Tearoom. Great find. Very nice rarebit, excellent coffee and superb cakes. The cakes in particular were just fantastic! I come from Harrogate - the land of Betty’s - and these cakes were up with the best!! A great find!

£11.80 for a pot of breakfast tea for two & two plain scones with butter! Won’t be coming here again..

Fabulous little tea shop. Having walked the dog for an hour by the river in the 0 degrees weather it was lovely to co e and have a coffee and breakfast here. Staff are always so friendly and welcoming to both humans and canines. Coffee, scrambled eggs and smoked salmon on toast for me, doggie biscuits and a personal bowl of water for the hound.ove comong here - it's a little oasis. Lovely treats for humans sold I the shop too.

It's a year or so since I last visited the Teapot. It still has an old world charm about it. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The shop was busy but service was good and unobtrusive. The coffee was very good and I had a Buck Rarebit which was excellent. The menu is small but good and the cakes look tasty. I would recommend it with teh proviso that this is Cookham so the prices reflect that!

They have tradional and slightly more experimental cakes to choose from, excellent range of tea pig teas. Coffee, if you drink it black, like I do, could be stronger.

What a disappointment. Can't believe others liked this place. £3.50 for a tea cake !

We had just walked a long (for us) walk and were well ready for a cuppa. We had a nice window table and were tempted by the cakes on offer. I had the courgette and lime, my wife the blueberry. Both were light and delicious. All the cakes are made here, and we will have to return to sample some more. The tea was good too.

This little tearoom in the high street in cookham, is a real treasure. Not only a really good range of homemade wonderful cakes it also does simple cooked meals, including breakfast, (they don't do bacon) but really delicious. It has an olde world atmosphere inside and a lovely little garden outside where you can eat. The staff are very friendly and helpful everything is served with a smile..the only downside is being able to find a parking space in cookham!

Tea in pots, lovely cakes, dog friendly, what more could you possibly want!

Beautiful shop - excellent tea and coffee. Beware of the cakes - they are truly scrumptious but so so hard to finish. I can highly recommend the carrot cake.

There is something addictive about British Tea Shops, and to resist is futile. They serve a good cup of tea (many different options) and they make a mean cup of coffee, so either option works well. Then there are the cakes - several options, all of which look home made. If i were braver, i would have had one of each, butt hat would be a tad unseemly. There were three of us and we all indulged in different cakes and all were happy with the result.

Great interior design, fantastic food and friendly staff.We had two types of cake and a baguette which were all very delicious.

Visited today, elegant looking tea shop with nice crockery. Tea was fairly reasonable but a slice of cake was £3.55! Paying £7 for two slices of cake is daylight robbery. There are no prices on the menu or counter for the cakes either!

I was visiting Cookham for the day and needed a good cup of tea to keep me going. Despite the day being chilly and all the shops indoor tables being occupied, I was able to enjoy a lovely slice of cake with my perfect pot of tea in the back garden. Refreshed!

I popped in here for some brunch with a friend. It is simply delightful inside and out the inside is very cottage like and the garden is very cute with bistro tables and dogs allowed in too!! We sat outside and had a coffee and a sandwich each. Nothing disappointed. A lovely little place to visit on a weekend morning for some peace and quiet :)

Super little tea shop, portions are huge and service excellent with polite, friendly staff. Lovely little garden out the back. A great find!

Pleasant cake shop with a sunny garden. Service a little slow. Parking is difficult. Just to say we are in London Friday and Friday

I have often passed this tea shop and when asked by a friend where I would like to go for a birthday tea/lunch I decided this was the place, as I love trying new restaurants and tea shops. I was not disappointed. My baked potato with prawns, salad and coleslaw was delicious, topped with huge prawns. The Earl Grey tea was also good. However, what makes this place so special was the lovely china and the décor. It is what a real English tea shop should be. The service was excellent and the waitress smiled, which is a bonus nowadays. We rounded off the meal with the lightest, moist and delicious home-made carrot cake I have ever tasted. I shall be returning!

A nice enough little tea shop on the high street in Cookham. Large selection of different teas, although quite pricey at £3 a pot. But if you want a cake, you need take out a mortgage. My wife had a small piece of bakewell tart (about 2 x1 inches) which cost £3.45. God knows what the sponge cakes cost, interestingly no prices were shown on the cakes or in the menu.

It is nice to find a small informal tea room in a beautiful Berkshire village. We only had a pot of tea but the cakes appeared to be home made and looked very appetising for those who like cake.It was a lovely sunny day and we had the option of sitting inside or out in the small back garden.

A small tea shop in Cookham handy to stop off while walking the Thames Path. The menu was reasonable but very overpriced. We waited ages to get served, there were only two members of staff, one serving and one cooking. The tea was weak and tasteless but we enjoyed the tea cakes. Customer service was poor, the waitress looked uninterested and could barely make eye-contact or smile. We tried to get her attention to pay but she ignored us. Probably would look elsewhere in future.

Amazing cakes made on the premises, friendly and attentive staff, wonderfully chintsy atmosphere with very reasonable homemade crafts on sale.Whats not to love ??

Myself and my boyfriend just visited here after a nice walk. It was terrible. Firstly unfriendly service, three young girls are running the place (or appear to be).SO OVERPRICED! 6£ for a cream tea which only involved one MICROWAVED and likely supermarket tea cake . I asked if I could change my English breakfast tea to earl grey and that was going to be 1£ extra! Are they mad! My boyfriend ordered the buck rarebait- 7£ for some poorly done poached eggs and cheese on toast! Overall, sadly a poor experience, it felt like a once well run tea shop which has been left to the kids who have no idea. Also- 7£ for a panini with TWO fillings, 85p for extras. This is mad when a filling contains pesto as one!!!!!Avoid. Cookham needs another better tea shop.

Love this place. The garden is nice and the people are friendly and attentive. Located in the high street near the Spencer museum, great pubs and with great walks along the river, what's not to like?

Really like this place. One of only a few places we've visited locally who actually make you feel as if they want your custom.Open on Sundays.There is a small courtyard garden, but it was too wet and cold for us to use.The small fresh flowers on each table are a lovely touch. Delicious and unusual 'Courgette and Lime' cake, moist and light. Excellent crumpets. Herbal teas from 'Teapigs'. I do prefer leaf teas but these are the next best thing.Will return.

I met a friend here and we enjoyed chatting and catching up. To be honest the tea was awful considering it's a tea shop!We both had smoked salmon & cream cheese bagels which were nice but nothing special. The carrot cake we shared was AMAZING though!I'm not sure I'll go again to be honest. Much nicer array of cafes in nearby Marlow!

Quaint and small with generous portions. The soup was hot,tasty and generous in size. The sandwich came with a generous helping of salad. After a brisk circular walk, we headed back for cake and tea. A delightful teashop.

We popped into this cafe half way through a walk down the Thames Path - I have a small dog and we noticed the sign saying dogs welcome so went in - The tea and coffee were served in delightfully cups and my friend had a lovely tea pot - the staff were very friendly and brought a bowl and biscuit for the dog - it is lovely inside with a great menu and lots of homemade cakes our only regret was that we had just had lunch otherwise we would have ditched the sandwiches and ate here. Well done Teapot Shop first class a must if you are passing

Halfway through a very cold walk my girlfriend and I popped in for an early lunch and to warm up. Greeted with smiles in this lovely cosy little place. Coffee and tea was great and the ploughman's and crumpets we shared were fresh and great value. Not sure why it's page has 2-3 dollar signs, as it is not expensive.

Outstanding tea shop, so cute! Me and my partner were randomly exploring Cookham and stumbled into the teapot tea shop. One of the nicest meals we have had out for a long time I had the buck rarebit (yummy) and Jemima had a sandwich ( freshly made) Coffee was a little to strong for my taste but the misses loved it (coffee feind) so yeah all in all 10/10, oh and the puddings not bad either

I live locally to this little cute looking tea shop. A cup of tea, mug of coffee, cheese on toast, a slice of toast and a slice cake £16. That would be ok if it was any good. I ordered Welsh rarebit with two poached eggs, they weren't poached, they were microwaved, they would have made good rubber balls but hopeless food. I sent it back and they produced exactly the same, taking no notice of my request for soft eggs. Microwave does eggs that are hard they are not poached but they are inedible. The tea was so weak it needed first aid to get out of the pot, also undrinkable, and the coffee lacked any discernible flavour. For a tea shop this is as poor as it gets. But not content with that, I had commented to the waiteress that the coffee had no creme, on top which was strange since they claimed to have made it through an Italian steam coffee machine that is unheard of, any visit to any high street coffee chain would verify that. It tasted like weak filter coffee. Instead I was told I should have ordered a mocha, and that Americano is a black coffee only, well it isn't at Starbucks, costa, cafe Nero, etc. I am to,d the homemade carrot cake wasn't ok.

Stopped here during autumn walk. Very helpful staff. Excellent tea cakes and welsh rarebit. Lousy coffee..... Watery and tasteless.

We went for a light lunch and sat in the garden. It took ages to get served which was surprising considering there were so few people there.The place is pretty traditional and quite pretty with a nice albeit not very comfortable courtyard garden. We sat outside and it was very pleasant as it trapped the sun in there and not the wind.I had a ham ploughmans and frankly it was pretty average They had run out of some of the advertised garnishes/pickles and there was not enough butter for a baguette that size.. My partner had a rarebit which she said was a bit better.. Normally I might have given a higher rating but getting a bill of £28+ for 4 people was too much for the general experience.

You could not get a more traditional tea house. This was a quiet and friendly place for our Sunday afternoon tea and cakes. Service was pleasant and the ambience good. There was a nice terrace outdoors for sunny days. Give it a try.

Charming tea shop looking out over the Main Street. Little garden. Wonderful cake - especially the carrot cake. They do soya milk and gluten free too. Coffee was ok.

This is a really nice little place, with a lovely line in home made cakes and jams but amazingly, their scones are obviously supermarket bought and they have the cheek to charged £3.50 for them. Also, though it calls itself a tea shop, the tea pots all dribble and are very small. The tea is very strong and you would think they would automatically provide hot water. No they don't and when you ask for it you get a very meagre little jug. It is such a shame that a potential little money spinner like this let's itself down and attracts far fewer customers than it could with just small improvements to its service.

We 'discovered' this charming Tea Shop by accident and found we could sit in their garden for a light lunch. Waited on by a new member of staff who was 'on trial'. We enjoyed different food from welsh rarebit, to prawn pannini and I asked for a prawn salad. We most drank Fentiman's lemonades etcSitting in the garden was delightful - no doubt in wet weather this small place gets a bit crowded,

I went there to get two slice of cakes to take away. There was one slice left that was bigger than a slice but smaller than two. So I told the lady cut the normal slice, and I am happy to take the small one too, charge a fair money for it. She cut it in half and charged me for both full price..... I got the cakes on a paper dish, without being covered... I said can you please cover it as I am taking it away? She was trying to put them in a paper bag, not to mention the cream was all over, as she could not fit it in the bags. I told her to wrap it gently with a kitchen foil. Meantime I saw a couple of customers left as they were waiting and waiting and nobody asked them what they want. I had to wait a lot too, though there was not a lot of customers around. Disappointed. Cakes are fantastic, customer service rubbish.

We visited Cookham and at our way back to our boat (we travelled on the thames) we stopped in the shop to find out how a scone tastes and took place in the very sweet garden behind the house. The personal was very friendly and the food came after a couple of minutes. All was fine and just the price prohibit the 5 stars. It was not really cheap but we want to come back if we visit England again...

My girlfriend and myself had just been to the Stanley Spencer Gallery and popped in here for a coffee. The actual cafe is in an old building on the high street, the service was very quick and the food and drink themselves were great and good value, Only wish I'd have had cake but never mind. The serving staff were friendly and I wouldn't have any hesitation in visiting again (we visited on 29-8-2016)

Even when this place is virtually empty, the service is mind-numbingly slow. If you want a quick eat-in baguette or a baked potato, be prepared to spend 40 mins to an hour in there all in. Food is fine, ordinary except for a brownie cake I had there once which was delicious. Coffee is quite nice. Twee place design wise, teacups and 'Love' slogans and woollen tea cosies. But it's fine apart from the service speed.
