The Coffee House in Peterborough

Excellent service staff nice and friendly. The coffee house was very clean would highly recommend

Excellent little coffee house (discovered on google / trip advisor) very conveniently located just over a mile off the A47 Peterborough Road. We were travelling with friends from Nottingham to Norfolk so this was a very suitable half way stop. Very clean well decorated premises - very welcoming & friendly staff. Excellent choice of snacks / sandwiches (freshly prepared for you) and wonderful cakes. Interesting quirky lamp shades - upside down teacups and saucers! Highly recommended (so much so we stopped there on the way home too!) ps Don't judge a book by it's cover aka don't be put off by the fenced off rough ground adjacent to the coffee house! TheCoffee House offerings are very good indeed.

Good food friendly faces, always welcoming

Cute coffee shop in the centre of Castor... friendly, clean , great oat milk lattes/!iced ilattes and a selection of cakes , goodies and hot food ...perfect place to meet friends

Great service, coffee and granola flapjack was really good, we'll be back again soon!

I have visited the Coffee House several times over recent years but am afraid I have recently paid my last visit. The prices , I find are now too high and having paid £3.25 for a very small scone and butter think the value is poor . It’s a shame but a sign of the times !

Great little coffee house, just what we needed after a walk.

Absolutely cracking find and so pleased we did. Food very fresh and well priced. Staffed by young folk who were attentive and good at their jobs with a sense of humour too. 10/10 and thanks.. 👍👍😋

Lovely friendly little coffee shop in an equally lovely village. Always a favourite for breakfast or afternoon tea and cake.

Great cappuccino! Cheers chaps!

Lovely little cafe a great spot for cyclists and walkers, I have visited a few times and I always come away content

Lovely quaint relaxing little place. Friendly staff if I wasn't on a diet I would of tried the yummy looking cakes

Friendly service. Coffee on the strong (for me) side. Delicious sausage roll. Cakes beautiful. Lovely deco, more you look - more you see...

Can’t say much as I have only had the pleasure of dining at this establishment once but what I can say is absolutely astounding!! The cheese and ham toastie is exquisite, it truly made my day. I thank the owners and staff for grace me with such a glorious lunchtime meal. This establishment is also apparently quite good for those riding equine creatures (horses specifically) as there is a beautiful seating arrangement just across the road which really gives you that natural feeling!

Close tables crammed together is the only real letdown for me. Apart from this a good cosy design. I’ve always had good cakes when I’ve been but I know some people who have complained about cakes being too dry. They sell local produce from shops from other villages, like eggs and bread. sometimes in the summer they put the tables and chairs out across the road, so keep this in mind A nice small cafe that recently changed hands. Would only stop if I couldn’t go anywhere else.

Stopped for coffee and a spot of lunch. All was very tasty and served by helpful and friendly staff. Will definitely stop there again.

Amazing little coffee shop. Highly recommend. Great food, service and atmosphere.

Excellent coffee, super food and cakes with parking right outside.

Any hot food is sadly cooked in a microwave! One to avoid. Sorry I don't like leaving bad reviews but just dont want other people thinking it's amazing food and making a trip out as we did. They don't have any other cooking facilities. Bacon, eggs and even the chips are bought in precooked from cash and carry and warmed up in a microwave. So whilst you think you're at a nice local cafe with fresh cooked food you're getting anything but. No idea what the full english breakfast on the menu would be like from a microwave. Atmosphere seemed OK at first but the young guys serving were sat on the counter whilst we were there, which was very odd. Then they kept sniggering like school children, just strange. Sadly would now avoid due to knowing how the food is made and a nearly a fiver for a microwaved bacon sandwich with paper thin bacon - seriously, you'd be better from a van at the side of the road, at least it would be freshly made food not warmed up. Oh and as for the microwave chips that were served old. The server grinned and said, yeh, we generally have problems with those. Er, so why serve them? Sadly one to give a swerve to. Really wanted it to be nice food. I really feel for the owner, who was a really nice guy. So much potential but let down by the food and his juvenile waiting staff.

What a gorgeous English country village cafe 😍 very pretty, First class service and quality cakes, coffee & tea in a peaceful beautiful part of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, Highly recommend.

Lovely place to stop for lunch. We stopped here on our way to Norfolk lodge and woods. We had lunch and coffees all excellent and freshly made It’s nice to support local businesses

Great visit once again. Nice atmosphere, good coffee and lovely cakes. Lovely friendly service as usual. Great place to sit and relax watching the world go by.

Food was nice but pricy. The people working seemed nice but the kept looking my way and snickering. Very unpleasant.

Great place. Coffee and food excellent. Staff and owner are lovely.

First time in a while I’ve been to the Coffee House and had a great time. The food was lovely and the coffee was just right. Had a chat with the staff who were very friendly and welcoming. The place has been transformed since the new owners took over. From what the staff told me anyone who writes a positive review about the Coffee House gets a nasty threatening message telling them to take down their review. I’ve wrote this review to support this lovely coffee shop and I suggest everyone to come together and support their local Coffee Shop against bullies. Highly recommend anyone from the village or just passing by to pop in. I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed!

Loved the coffee and cakes, really nice and approachable staff would recommend visiting with your family or friends, best coffee place around!

came with my family for lunch. the staff were very friendly, the coffee was great and the food was wonderful. would definitely recommend!

Cappuccino was burning hot with barely any frothed milk. Brownies were very dry.

We love it here visit twice a week and ten of our friends are there every Wednesday lunchtime !

Perfect stop off for a nice coffee and snack, just off the A47. Will use again 👍🏼

Lovely little cafe. Nice atmosphere, great food 😄 Will definitely visit again.

During our cycling trip from Peterborough centre to Ailsworth, we made stop here for a bite to eat and a drink. Charming coffee shop that gets busy, especially at lunch time. Friends had recommeding it, so I am glad I got to give it a shot.

The whole point of a coffee house is to make good coffee. What I received instead was boiling hot burnt milk. I hate leaving bad reviews but it’s just not acceptable to allow your main product out the door if it’s not up to any standard whatsoever. Brownie however was excellent.

Friendly staff and very nice ambience. Definitely visit again

Stopped in for a coffee and cake, it was scrumptious, with great service. It's a pity I don't live closer.

Nice visit yesterday for coffee and cake, friendly staff and good selection of food.

I just ate a full English breakfast and tea thinking “thank you” “thank you” “thank you”

Yes great and now let’s dog in cafe

A pleasant independent cafe with a nicely varied menu that both the bacon person and the health conscious will agree on! There is seating across the road on the grass as well as outside seating in front of the shopfront and indoors. Some come for a meal, some to hang out, some for a quite cuppa or coffee. Parking in a layby outside is quite limited. 4 cars?

Friendly staff and atmosphere. Tasty food. Good selection of beverages. They have a loyalty card system, where for every 10 cuppas purchased, you get one free.

Cute little rest stop. Lovely coffee and cakes. Brownie was too sweet.

last minute booking. lovely atmosphere, great decor, very welcoming. coffees and panninis went down a treat.

Super leuk, knus koffie huisje. Lekker eten en goede koffie, milkshakes. Het personeel was heel vriendelijk. Echt een bezoekje waard!!

Lovely little tea room with delicious cakes and good coffee. Friendly staff and a relaxing atmosphere. I would definitely recommend.

Great little cafe to go past if you ever visit Castor / Ailsworth , good coffee and selection of cakes

We had walked from the ferry meadows campsite through the country park which the campsites are in,through meadows to castor the 3 pubs in village 2 were closed and one being worked on. We found this lovely cafe had a full english breakfast and tea from a teapot ( how quaint) and at a reasonable price staff were polite and cheerful. Would recommend highly.

Lovely cafe, found on our holiday route

Been here many a time before and will continue to do so because of the nice friendly service in pleasant surroundings with good food and nice coffee and all served with a smile or a twinkle... 🙂

Lovely little coffee shop and cafe. Spotted it while out for a ride and got the perfect lunch. I'll certainly be taking the family back at some point and I really want to try the cake!

Our halfway pit stop during an 8-mile walk. The bacon rolls with a pot of tea is always good. Absalutle erfection 🍴🍺

I can't comment on the food or the coffee which may be wonderful, but the lady who served me was very rude and made me feel uncomfortable..... I would not recommend

Excellent café, very friendly staff 👍

Quiet unassuming village coffee shop catering for breakfast and lunches, does good business with the locals, and invites passing trade with a warm welcome. We have a friend who stays in the village, and speaks quite highly of the shop,always happy to recommend a visit.

Nice cafe with a good selection of food, pastries and hot drinks. Staff friendly. They served up a very nice GF breakfast.

Beautiful little cafe. Always stop here when out cycling. Staff are so lovely nothing too much trouble. Back today for first time since end of last summer. Nicola always remembers us and greets us with a friendly smile.

A great community buzz. We stopped here as a mini detour off the A47 having never been to Castor before, to break up the journey. We had tea/coffee/hot chocolate and scones and a sausage role. Delicious. I highly recommend this place. Cosy, friendly atmosphere with beautiful decor, good quality and tasting food and drink with much variety. There are also some great local things to buy if you want. We will stop here again on the way back I think.

Market Deeping Town Council Christmas drinks and party. Excellent buffet. Very friendly staff.

If you want a good coffee, but a change from the "usual suspects", then this is a great short diversion off the A47.

Still love coming here, great food and drink options with delicious cakes too. The additional tables on the green are great if you're out cycling too. Great to see they've updated their menu with more savoury food too, although they could do with a better heating method for the sausage rolls to avoid soggy pastry.

First class bacon bap Great service-good coffee choces.

Great little coffee shop with a good selection of cakes and savoury food.

Booked a table for 2 as recommended. No prices on the menu which I find difficult to budget, fortunately cost was not important that day but I like to know what I am letting myself into. Quite expensive which is what I expected with no prices on show. Service slow on that day as wasn't sure of their order system. A very pleasant cafe with choice of eating inside or outside on the green. Very popular place. Bought some lovely cake to take home.

Can’t handle a lot of customers at once. Food ok. Chips are meagre I had 11 on a plate. Teapots drip when pouring

Great coffee, great service great prices oh yes and the staff are great too. What more do you want????

Friendly staff and good coffees to take away

Great food and service. Nothing was too much trouble.

WOW, What a lovely place, very friendly staff and the kitkat milkshake my son had was amazing. I will be back again.

Friendly staff .Wonderful cakes and coffee .

Great choice of coffee and food! Lovely seating area would 100% recommend😊

A nice cuppa & icecream sitting out in the sun under a lovely tree full of blossom. Will return one day!

We often stop here for coffee and panini or some cake, which are all delicious. Sitting on the little green opposite, in the sunshine, is wonderful! Staff are all so friendly. Lovely place to visit!

Nice cake but coffee is so poor, been a few times and now have coke which seems daft given name of the place. Update: tried again months after review above but same result, coffee is really weak.

I brougt my polish friend for coffee today. Before we came, I called asking for a gluten free fresh cake, the lady said they were available, but it wasn't there. Very long waiting time for only coffee and outside sitting. Bad service. I don't recommend. Very disappointing.

Lovely food in a brilliant village atmosphere. Well done to the friendly, cheerful staff

Lovely little coffee shop and cakes are excellent. Seating area across the road! It a lovely pit stop for a Summer walk.. keep up the hard work Guys, well done... 👏🏼👍🏼🙂

I had a really lovely bacon butty but the coffee was a little cold - possibly because there was a big group of us

Excellent , well worth a visit.

This place is amazing. We have taken items away several times but we decided to sit in and booked a table for the next day. Unfortunately on the day our little ones nursery was unexpectedly closed due to staff illness so we took our two little ones with us including our 3 year old Autistic son. He did not settle well and was upset by the noise of the coffee machine. The staff were absolutely incredible. They really made an effort to help him settle and they were really helpful and friendly. They warned us every time they turned the coffee machine on so we could help him with the noise. The food and drinks were amazing, really fresh and excellent quick service. I was blown away by this place and would definitely recommend it

Found this place near the end of a 6 mile walk. Delightful excellent coffee and a lovely slice of cake 😁

Nice little coffee break off the main road

Good coffee. Food v limited the day we were there but nice cake - lovely to sit outside in autumn sunshine under the weeping willows opposite.

Nice place, for a coffe or any snack on the morning walk

Excellent freshly made hot paninis and very tasty coffee. Love the light fittings!

Amazing service and even better food and coffee

Ice cream was delicious both ladies in shop were lovely & the takeaway menu looked amazing

It was ok but, the coffee was a bit weak and you can't go in so can not see the cake before you buy

Went Saturday afternoon and it was closed

Great little coffee shop. Gorgeous cakes, good coffee and very friendly staff in the middle of a stunning proper village, love it and will be going back for more.

Since the Covid restrictions its not good. I do hope it returns to normal soon and I will then give 4/5stars but not right now.

Gorgeous coffee & brownie! Fab service!

Fab choice of drinks and scrumptious cakes and lovely friendly service

Really wish I could rate this higher! The decor itself is very lovely and it’s placed bang in the centre of Castor, which is beautiful in itself. However, I really wish this place could stand for its name as from my multiple visits, I’ve gathered that coffee is definitely not their strong point. None of the coffees I’ve had ever were what they say on the menu. Flat white? More like a latte. Iced coffee? More like a milky water with a drop of coffee. I didn’t even ask for milk! The coffee itself always tastes bitter, burnt and over-extracted. One of the times I’ve also ordered food which they also managed to get wrong. I really want to love this place but after giving this place a few good go’s, I wouldn’t come back and definitely would not call this a *coffee* house.

Very kind staff, absolutely delicious cakes, definitely recommend xx

A great selection on the menu, fair prices and friendly staff

Cute and lovely cafe! Prices are really reasonable. Cake and drinks both gorgeous!! Staff are super friendly and helpful.

This is my favourite cafe! Bev is such a friendly owner and so helpful. The coffee is lovely and there are always new types of cakes. I also love the sandwiches. My toddler loves going here! Very friendly and would highly recommend. Perfect location - 10 mins drive from Peterborough and 15From Stamford, In the beautiful villages of Ailsworth and Castor! It’s lovely to go to a non chain place for a change! Enjoy :)

The best coffee around just as perfect for working lunches as it is for an indulgent afternoon Birthday tea. Great staff who work hard to make everyone safe and welcome

Great tasting food, good selection and well presented. A very friendly atmosphere which adds to the charming character of this lovely village Coffee House.

I was lucky enough to turn up and get a seat, but I would recommend booking as they have had to remove a few tables to keep with covid restrictions. Had quick and friendly service, I can't recommend the warm dressed cheese scone enough! Followed with the tastiest chocolate pumpkin cake which really is worth the calories. There is plenty of seating out on the green opposite, unfortunately with winter on its way it may be a little hit and miss with the weather, but that is the times we are in. I felt very comfortable with how "covid secure" the shop was, with all effort being made towards safety. Highly recommend.

Delicious coffee and cake with my bubble friends. So nice to catch up in this lovely friendly, Covid safe cafe. Coffee is particularly good. Nutty flavours, no bitterness. Social distancing on the pavement outside, screens between tables, outside seating and individual shelter on request for tables on the green if the weather is inclement.
