It was quiet when I went (mid week pre lunch), but there's a good amount of space to accommodate a crowd. The menu offers a good selection at very reasonable prices. I had coffee and cake (both of which were delicious) and the service was great, staff very friendly. Will likely come again to sample the breakfast, who looks tasty. Really good gluten free selection.

Great service, friendly staff. Breakfast lacked quality and was overcooked. Sausages had clearly been over defrosted in the microwave before cooking. £10 was steep for the breakfast served. Also £2.40 for a can of drink is excessive.

I can't believe I haven't written a review before now. We love the Bay Tree Cafe, everything about it is comfortable and welcoming, we can even take our dog with us and they gave him a free bowl of doggy treats. The food is always great, the service is always friendly, and the atmosphere is always friendly. Have been many times, and will definitely be going many more times.

Owner responded to my original review then deleted comment so thought I would clarify. We visited for lunch, closing time on trip advisor showed 1600 but their winter hours were apparently closing at 1500 (not on TA). We arrived about 1430 my daughter ordered and we were served by someone who just placed the plates in the table in silence and walked off. Staff made no attempt to engage with us at all. They seemed more interested in closing up the kitchen Mine was a bacon sandwich, hard to make more interesting, but my daughter had smoked salmon and cream cheese with a large dollop of the cream cheese on it, wholly disproportionate to the balance. Must admit we felt we were tolerated rather than welcomed as customers. Must confess the chairs were quite hard so our short visit wasn’t even that comfortable. As is shown on my profile, I’m no stranger to reviewing and don’t have unrealistic expectations beyond the sort of venue visited. This one had little warmth and no welcome. Shame as I usually love cafes.

We visited just before closing, it was quite busy staff were there but not overly interested. Food was ok but not that exciting. Shame, staff could have been a little more enthusiastically served. Their chairs weren't that comfortable

Lovely place just on the outside edge of Wantage town centre. Lovely friendly feel to the place. The staff are welcoming and efficient. I can vouch that the English breakfast is outstanding, as is their Rocky-road slices. I will definitely be returning for food again.

Everything is very reasonably priced. The halloumi avocado brunch is to die for. Perfect poached eggs too. Excellent coffee and chat with the owner. Will be back again as it's so good..

Popped in out of the drizzle on a flying visit to Wantage. Picked the Bay Tree as it was No 1 on Tripadvisor. It was very busy for a Tues morning which we took as a good sign! Lovely waitress who was very friendly and polite. Great cappuccino, our friends ordered peppermint tea and red bush tea both of which were available and served in lovely big pots!

This is a lovely café tucked away a little, approximately behind the Post Office Vaults. It is immaculately clean and new-feeling, although it is very popular, so clearly they are established here. The coffee is fab and the prawn mayo and avocado sandwich I had was delicious. The cheese, onion and tomato toastie my friend had was also very nice. The service was efficient and friendly. Also what a refreshing change it is to see dogs being allowed back into some cafés, such as this one. We will definitely be back when we visit Wantage again.

Service is great, friendly and the food faultless. Super local tea room! 😊 Lovely food and great atmosphere. This is more tea room than greasy spoon, but an excellent alternative to Costa.

Loads to choose from but in the end we had coffee and a wrap, all was delicious and we will be back. The only bit of advice I would give is don't go in starving as I did ans there is too many tempting options.

We both went for the Bay Tree Breakfast which was a generous portion and all well cooked. The coffees were a great size and nice and hot. Reasonable price and very friendly place.

Awful experience, principally because of the shocking service. Sadly, I cannot recommend it in any way and definitely won’t be going back. It took 70 mins from ordering to starters being served, then 40 mins between starters being cleared to mains arriving. In addition, a number of starters, mains and side orders were missing throughout resulting the significant delays for some individuals. We were a party of 16, but the restaurant was completely empty. I would love to say that the food made up for the poor service, but it didn’t. Despite what was a really nice looking menu, the food was distinctly average especially considering the price. I expected so much more. The room was also freezing; we sat in our coats for the entire meal. On the plus side, it is a genuinely impressive venue, the decor is on point. It is modern whilst complimenting the buildings amazing history. The manager did apologise, however I thought offering free coffee if we ordered desserts was a poor/cheeky offer considering the experience. We would have been there until midnight!!
