The Coffee Tavern in East Northamptonshire

With this being the only cage in Oundle that takes orders on just eat I was hoping it was going to be good… I was disappointed. The pizza base was bland tasted like cardboard and completely ruined what were decent quality toppings. The chips were ok. The waffles are clearly store brought despite how easy it is to make a bowl of batter in the morning. They were reheated in a microwave which resulted in about a quarter of each waffle being hard and burned on the inside. I won’t be ordering or visiting again.

The best spot for breakfast in Oundle. Although the wait time might be a little long on busy days, I'm sure it's due to understaffing issues as the staff that are there are very attentive and helpful to get tables cleared and when the food comes out, it's well worth the wait! In my experience, staff has always been very lovely and do their best to give you the best experience possible.

Great little spot. Great atmosphere, friendly workers, decent music, great food paired with quick service. Whats not to like?

We are regular visitors to the Coffee Tavern. The food is good quality and a fair price. I have tried every coffee shop and cafe in Oundle and can honestly say that they serve the best coffee in town. The staff and owners are lovely too!

my cuppa tea had a bloody sausage and beans in it. this is utterly unacceptable and i am very disappointed in the coffee tavern. i will never return here as i am very appalled at this! never come here.

Called in for a cuppa,ended up having a tuna & cheese panini with chips,big portions at a great price. Food came to us quickly and it was busy. Friendly staff that were doing a great job of cleaning the tables after customers were leaving. We have a found our new place to call in when we are out and about.

Hi We were really disappointed with our visit earlier today. Having used this business over several years we can’t believe how low standards have become. Where do I start? Well the tables that were vacant(including ours) were full of used plates,cups and cutlery from previous customers and there was no urgency to clear. Ours was only cleared at our request and incredibly would have been left even after our drinks arrived. Appalling customer service(maybe a lack of training)but this is basic. We requested the table be wiped cleaned and although arrogantly acknowledged it was never done during our stay. The ordering process was slow and laborious-it was evident the member of staff was really struggling and there was no supervision or help. I had ham,egg and chips-it was thrown together and appeared to me like a child’s meal-9 yes 9 chips!!! The bread and butter I ordered turned up as toast after I’d finished my children’s meal-pathetic. My complaints were made known to the waiting staff who quite frankly weren’t bothered or interested-in essence will be of no surprise that we won’t be back. Whoever is running this establishment now needs to get a grip and engage in some staff training in customer service,cleanliness,speed and efficiency-the basics aren’t difficult!!!!

The sausages where definitely raw and definitely tried to have been cooked in a fryer. There was charcoal all over my plate and a hair in the beans

Sticky tables so my cup and saucer, book cover and everything else seemed glued to the surface. Food below average. Constant deliveries from the front door creating a draught on colder mornings. I've given it a fair chance but have now decided to go elsewhere

Have tried different breakfasts at the Coffee Tavern and it seems like everything is cooked in the deep fat fryer including sausages. I prefer other snack items on the menu during the day such as jacket potatoes. Coffee is fine and I like their Chai latte. Service can be a little slow at times .

We were in Oundle visiting friends and arrived early so decided to grab a bite to eat whilst we waited for them. We spotted The Coffee Tavern on the corner of Market Place and decided to give it a go due to it appearing very popular. A simple paninis and coffee was all we needed. We ordered at the counter and took a seat near the window. A very nice young lady brought our food to the table (and the WiFi password) which was well presented, hot and tasty. My wife visited the toilets which she described as small but perfectly functional. There is additional seating on an upper floor and from talks with locals this seems to be one of the better places to grab a breakfast. As an added bonus; Oundle is a beautiful little market town!

Stopped by for a quick cuppa and a panini, and I was not disappointed at all! Didn’t have to wait for too long and everything tasted great!

Excellent breakfast, bacon was delicious and so were the hashbrowns! Would definitely recommend and will be coming back with some family members. They have a very large array of milkshakes to choose from and they are brilliant. Staff are all very lovely and friendly, they make the experience even better.

Food was awful! Eggs not cooked and tasted bland. Highly wouldn’t recommend. Will not be going again. Very long wait for food.

This used to be a very agreeable place to have breakfast. Sadly, it is no longer the case. On walking in, remnants of previous customers meals on the tables (and the floor). Not particularly busy so no excuse for that. Table was sticky. The order had to be repeated several times (ie poached not fried eggs) before it sank in. Tea arrived after 10 mins or so. Was on the verge of asking for a refund and walking out after another 25 minute wait when breakfast appeared. Not particularly appetising, I’m afraid. Cheap sausages & bacon - both of which were very salty and didn’t eat them all. Puddle or two of grease under the hash browns. Couldn’t manage to eat them either. On the up-side, the poached eggs were excellent. As I said, this WAS a very agreeable place for breakfast, not any longer. I will not visit again.

First time in Oundle, so chose Coffee Tavern, because it looked just right in the street. Ordered two coffees and the gentleman at the counter took my money and put the till slip food order on the bar on the back wall. There had been some customers in front of me who had ordered coffee too. The place appears to be popular with people and there is a room for Mums and kids upstairs. After about a 10 - 12 minutes wait I went downstairs to see where the coffee was. The man who took my order apologised and said that they had been very busy and shortly after our coffees appeared, complete with a nice biscuit. The coffee was okay too, but it was a long time coming. .

The Coffee Tavern offers an excellent range of food at reasonable prices. It’s in a central and convenient location and very much recommended. The only issue is tidiness. It must be extremely difficult to keep a busy place like this spotless and giving somewhere 1 star because of that issue as some seem to is very very unfair. However there is room for improvement. I would suggest a simple system of as soon as anyone leaves the tables are thoroughly cleaned. The tables/chairs make the task more difficult as the tables are waxed and chairs fabric covered. They will both absorb/show previous food/spillages. If the budget allows and I’m sure this has been thought of hard wood tables and chairs with replaceable cushions might help.

We visited today, 19th August, for the first time. The food is delicious and a great Menu choice. Great location too. We were served today by Rebecca & she was amazing… so lovely, friendly & a true asset to The Coffee tavern. Please pass on our thanks to the lovely Rebecca. We will definitely be visiting often & very highly recommend xxx

This lovely little popular cafe has a team of very friendly staff with good customer care skills. The menu has something for everyone at whatever time of day. We’ve had coffee with lovely cakes here many times and sometimes sat in the square in the sun watching the town going by. Today we chose to breakfast. The menu is amazing for such a small cafe catering for ever taste and extremely reasonably priced!. Breakfast came up hot and good sized portions. It was very tasty albeit the bacon was too crisp for my liking. The coffee was the best in town! A delightful experience.

Ended up in this cafe as the pub wasn’t serving food and have just been to eat there two days running, yes it’s that good. Staying away from home for work these lovely staff served a much needed egg and ham late lunch and tasty breakfast the next day. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend here. The milk shakes look Devine, so 5here will be another visit.

Nicely decorated interior with pleasant service from the young ladies. A good choice of coffees and milkshakes. I had the filter coffee for 1.90. Next time I may try one of the tempting milkshakes.

Rather than just being one of the typical, ubiquitous coffee shops, The Coffee Tavern is also a rather good cafe. They serve traditional breakfasts, and the ones we had were top class, with good quality ingredients perfectly cooked and nicely presented. They were also very good value.The cafe is roomy and very tidy and the service excellent

Passing through Oundle today on our trip finding picturesque villages in Northamptonshire. We stopped here for lunch. The staff were very friendly, did everything to make us feel comfortable and quickly cleaned and wiped down tables (sanatizing). We chose chicken, bacon and mayo panini served with salad, chips and a fabulous home made coleslaw. I have to say it was one of the best lunches...ever. Large portions, bacon cooked fresh and tasted great, nice & hot.Great value for money....would recommend.

We stopped in for a meal mid day. We ordered fish n’ chips and a vegetarian breakfast. Both meals were good.

Wow what a transformation. The owners have reopened and been busy fixing the place up. COVID rules are being applied and the menu grows on a daily basis. Had a fantastic waffle and pleased to get out and support local. Keep up the good work, will be back again.

Really enjoyed my breakfast treat this weekend. I had the No.1 - it was fantastic - had to share with my husband as couldn’t finish it all. Lovely food and great atmosphere would highly recommend

We used to love the tav but it’s gone completely downhill. Cheap, thin toast, moulded overdone poached eggs. New ownership cutting corners at the expense of quality. We won’t be going back.

Great breakfast. Visited with my family early Saturday morning, food was lovely and the service was great.

Tried The Coffee Tavern for the first time since the new owners took over. Three of us went in after our Monday hike. Bit unsure after reading some of the reviews but thought we would give it a go. All three of us thought the breakfast was excellent and the service likewise. If they had any problems they seem to have rectified them.

We have been eating at this cafe for over 10 years now but since it changed hands recently and has a new cook the quality of food has gone down. The portion sizes are smaller and half the menu has been removed.I ordered 2 chip butties yesterday and there were barely 10 chips in it and the bread wasn't buttered.Today my husband a I went for breakfast ..we waited almost an hour for half our breakfast. The fried bread was over fried to a black crisp and drowning in oil, so much so half the plate was covered in it. My poached eggs on toast arrived as my husband was finishing. The toast wasn't even toasted! Come on... even the serving staff should know what toast looks like.Then having waited a little longer for my breakfast now lunch (by which time my husband was done with what he could eat) I took the fried bread to the kitchen and explained our situation, only for the for new cook to tell me that this is how fried bread is. When I asked about my toast...she simply said I did toast it ..we are doing it again. At this point I'd had enough and asked for a refund and left. She didn't once take ownership of the problem.It's a real shame as this place was great..in all these years we never once had any issue with breakfast or lunch. The ladies were all brilliant.Even placing the order was a joke. We had to repeat it 4 times to the guy at the counter. He really struggled to take the order correctly.I so wish I had taken a picture of the food today. Appalling!

Fantastic Experience, Great Food. Visited this weekend with the family. The kids has the cheese chips and we both had the full English. The sausages were propped sausages, from a butcher no less. The amount of places you go where the food quality is poor, it was a pleasure eat this breakfast. The Kids has the cheesiest chips you’ve ever seen and they disappeared very quickly.Was well looked after from start to finish and the bill was more than reasonable. I will be coming again to this hidden gem of a location and hope that other follow suit.Well done and keep up the hard work.

As a family, we have been eating at the Coffee Tavern for almost 10 years. The food has always been beautifully fresh, with local produce and overall good value for money. Today though, I simply can't believe how much it has gone downhill - what on earth has happened. The Lasagne was inedible, and I don't use that phrase lightly, it was swimming in grease and had no flavour at all. Having returned the food, we swapped it for the trusty Ploughmans, which has been a favourite of ours over the years. Guess what - processed sliced cheese, on a Ploughmans (the kind you'd get on a beefburger at a fairground!). I really hope this was a one off, but judging by the other recent reviews here, I don't hold out much hope. The new owners simply must improve the quality of food and service if they are going to retain faithful existing customers.

What has happened? Been using this cafe weekly for years, consistently good. Twice in the last month have been sent away being told the kitchen is not ‘doing food’ due to being too busy - both times with the cafe half empty. What are you running here?

We have been eating at this cafe for over 10 years now but since it changed hands recently and has a new cook the quality of food has gone down. The portion sizes are smaller and half the menu has been removed.

We have always enjoyed our visits to the coffee tavern but sadly not on this occasion. Ther appears to have been a change of staff and or ownership as the food and service was poor. Previously we have enjoyed locally sourced products which were well cooked on hot plates and served in a short period of time, even when busy. Not on this occasion, the restaurant was quiet, unusually for a Sunday morning and the breakfast took so long to arrive that I had drunk my way through a pot of tea. The plates were cold, the food was Luke warm and lack lustre in taste, more cash and carry than from the farm. The poached eggs were really poor, more hard boiled, no soft centre. I’m sorry to say but at the high price being asked for food at the coffee tavern we will not visit again.

I have been a customer of this cafe or restaurant for many years and I have never been disappointed. All the meals have been very fresh, and tasty with generous portions. As a vegetarian there is plenty of choice and partaking with my very mixed taste types have always found very good food here with no complaints from my carnivore friends. There is plenty of seating with an upstairs area with great views over the town center and market area.The food quality is first class, you will not find much - if any - catering standard food here. Their hot drinks are always of high standard and tasty.Waiting time for orders has always been acceptable even during busy times. The ground floor seating area is not very big, however the disabled should have little problem with seating, and they are able to cater for groups of friends who wish to eat together.The menu is varied for most tastes and anybody should find something of interest on it. Being a soup lover I would highly recommend their delicious vegetarian soups which are of excellent quality served with plenty of crusty bread and butter or preferred spread. Breakfasts and lunches are their forte being generous and tasty. For those who like something sweet for afters or with their hot drinks would be delighted at the range of cakes, tarts, scones and loaf cakes available. They are delicious and varied.The staff are always friendly and they are very happy to be helpful and accommodating with requests.Hygiene standards are very high and the tables are well equipped with condiments.Parking is no problem with the car park behind the restaurant and the opening hours will suit most.In all this is a very good to get a good meal or snack when attending the very good market on Thursdays.If you are looking for something better than the rubbery 'food' Macdonalds or tasteless Subway and want good tasty food at sensible prices with comfortable seating then I would recommend this super eating house.

My coffee was bland! I couldn’t taste anything apart from maybe the remnants of some old coffee grounds... service was lovely though so maybe just an off visit

What a disappointment! After 2hrs cycling in chilly weather, I was looking forward to a nice plate of beans on toast BUT what I got was a long 20minute wait and cold beans. Cold food is inexcusable and the cafe was empty so no excuses that they were busy. I sent the food back, to then get half the portion of beans. It was easier to eat and leave than complain a second time. There’s a cafe next door that seemed full and so we won’t be back.

Visited for a cooked breakfast and was satisfied with what I received. Out of the numerous cooked breakfast options, my boyfriend and I chose one that suited us best and everything was cooked perfectly and fresh. The only downside was the sausages which I did not enjoy, but other than that a nice meal.

Good choice of breakfasts and treats. Only a Tiny outside area that isn’t really appealing at all, but if you want to sit inside it’s all good.

Came here for breakfast with my husband and family. Great coffee shop with good food. Staff were all really helpful and friendly. There’s even a small little outside seating area which looked nice.

This tearoom is Oundle in a nutshell. A small market town that has hung on to it’s historical roots and makes the most of the wonderful old buildings that decorate the town.

No greeting on entering. Went upstairs to sit but irderedfirst. Young girl who took order was very pleasant.

Ok place, not the most friendly staff .. seem more interested in their private life.. some better place to eat and drink on Warwick

Local produce, great staff! From Full English, great vegetarian or the best bacon bap! Treat yourself to some of their tiffin to fill any little gaps (or take some home for later)

This is a really lovely place to stop by for tea and cake when I visit oundle, the cakes are good the range of tea options are good and the staff are friendly and helpful. I will continue to visit here anytime I come to oundle.

Visited on Saturday with my daughters, son in law and 3 grandchildren. I’m not going to suggest that the food is the greatest but they really make the kids feel welcome. There is a play area for them upstairs and there is enough for them to eat on the kids menu. Food okay, cost okay but wonderful child friendly location.

We have been coming here for breakfast for quite some time. It's never been a disappointment. Everything is fresh and from local producers. Staff are very friendly and the seating is comfortable. Only downside is sometimes it can get noisy when the local school kids are in.

Oundle is a lovely town, and as we do n`t live too far away, we drop by from time to time. The Coffee Tavern was on our way back to the car so we decided to pay a visit. My wife requires a gluten/dairy free diet, and there were pom-bears, gluten - free cakes, fruit bars etc to chose from. My wife enquired if she could have a squash drink, and settled on her favourite, blackcurrant, which the member of staff even made with her preferred hot water, even better than I usually make it.

We came here on a Sunday morning for breakfast and it was first class. Proper sausage and bacon, well cooked, newspapers to read and plenty of space to sit. Just right and I will go again.

I made an order and then was told they did not accept card payments for under £5. I challenged this as the law has changed and was told the manager had decided this rule. Sadly I left and went elsewhere.

I have lterally just finished a breakfast (Number 1) at the Coffee Tavern.

Visited once after recently moving to oundle and although the food was tasty, it was slow to come out and myself and my partner got bad stomachs and this is the only factor which it could have been.

We visit often as a family, the sausages are amazing! My daughter goes reguarly with friends and loves the cheesy chips and waffles. Very welcoming staff and good honest food.

If you want a good old fashioned fry up, then this is your place. A great menu which is easy to read and decipher. The staff are lovely too. The restaurant is impeccably clean also which is a big thumbs up! The position with its view across the market square is quite delightful also.

If ever you need a toasted bacon sandwich, look no further. They are the best for miles around. Heartly recommended.

Friendly and efficient service as always. This cafe is one to try if you’re passing through Oundle and need a cuppa.

Two to walk in on a miserable cold morning as we detoured through Oundle to see what’s here. This coffee house looked friendly, and has 5 for hygiene. I care about those green stickers! Friendly service, coffee arrived super quickly. Excellent presentation with real sausages. Wonderful. Thankyou!

On 2 floors there is plenty of seating and different size tables (we were a group of 6). Food is ordered at the counter and arrived quickly. This was breakfast and the eggs arrived runny. Good bacon and sausages and soft floury baps.

9am . The room was very cold. All the customers wore coats, scarves and gloves as it was that chilly. Can't they put the heating on sooner?

Popped in Saturday morning the staff were friendly and helpful, I ordered a large latte and breakfast my wife had tea and a bacon omelette. The coffee was nice and mellow and the food arrived which was freshly cooked and locally sourced. There are no negatives with this meal and I would recommend this cafe to anyone

Can someone explain to me, as to what policy determines, that this coffee shop, is not allowed to melt cheese on jacket potatoes or even cheesy chips, cannot say that would like cold cheese on my chips.

Nice place regularly go, never again, accused of not paying bill, when said I had, was told again I hadn't as the Bill was still in a stack of unpaid bills. I insist that I had paid to again be told I had not I asked to see Bill. Said I had paid contact less. At this point I was shruged at and told well if you say so.

What a great place to eat and chat. The staff were so very helpful and the food was brilliant. Hot and fresh delivered to the table in no time at all. The cakes looked really good and the Flapjack is so tasty. The price is fair and reasonable...so why go anywhere else in Oundle.

The coffee tavern has a delightful lunch menu with quite a bit of variety, ranging from sandwiches, jacket potatoes, burgers and full English breakfasts. The staff lack personality however service always has a smile.

What a lovely find. We were having a day in Oundle to celebrate my parents 46th Wedding Anniversary and Dad had decided that we were going to Oundle for the day. We had seen the Coffee Tavern online before visiting so we knew there would be somewhere we could eat.

Us 3 friends were meeting up after a time apart and this seemed to be a good location for a spot of lunch. We sat at a table in the window so could watch the world go by. The waitress took our orders. Lots to choose from on the menu so we were all well catered for. The food arrived very quickly and was delicious.

Whilst waiting for family I decided to have a cup of tea and some breakfast here in the 5th August.

We had a snack here with tea and coffee. My partner then had a beer , it was cold which is good . The coffee however could be better , not a lot of flavour , my partners tea was apparently ok. The sandwiches were passable . The tables are very close together which I didn't appreciate . The service is friendly and cheery . I think it's quite pricey for a cafe .I would pop in for a tea and perhaps a cake, they looked good and will try one ext time.

I had a lovely cream tea, the scones were excellent. My sister had the butternut squash soup which was so tasty . Plenty of tea. The staff are so nice and friendly

20 of the choir met there for coffee before our concert and from the upstairs room the view is brilliant looking over the market square which gives first visitors a good view of the area.the cakes and all home made food is excellent and the service and establishment well looked after and very comfortable.A good starting place in Oundle

Welcoming Staff.Varied menu. Lots of choice.The scrambled eggs on toast was superb as was the mushrooms on toast. Good portions.Followed with an Apple and Rhubarb Crumble and Ice cream. Perfect.In a lovely old building so not accessible for wheelchair users.Toilets are not accessible.

Came here one Sunday lunch and enjoyed homemade cottage pie and ham and musheroom omlette.All very nice and not a bad price considering the area.Would come here again but homemade chips would make it even better.Rhubard crumble nice too!!!

Service quick and friendly. The food is well cooked and presented on your plate. Can't find a fault with this Cafe. Clean and hygienic.

We had been shopping and was just going to have a coffee. We saw other people with parsnip soup so we had some and pleased we did as it was delicious and came with a nice warm bread baguette .We had a large pot of tea

The quality of the food is great however the price of the food has been subject to increase and has now reached very high levels. The addition of one piece how bacon to an egg on toast will set you back nearly an extra 50% of the initial cost. An extra £2 for one piece of bacon!?!? The service is otherwise good but I was slightly shocked by this new pricing.

A good place to get some lunch with a decent choice on offer. It was busy so we waited awhile for our food but staff were friendly.Not bad but there are other places to try which might be more atmospheric and quieter.Can't really fault the food or service though.

I give a honest review and I always try to find a positive. However my husband and I have just been for breakfast at the coffee tavern and I have given one star for the cup of tea. The food however was awful. I had a toasted tea cake which arrived cold but worse it arrived about ten minutes before my husbands breakfast bap. So I had eaten mine before his breakfast had arrived. The breakfast bap was supposed to consist of egg bacon and sausage. There was no egg on it. The whole thing was dry. This place is pricey and I expected better food and service. Another table had the wrong coffee and toast served to them so it wasn't just us. Needless to say we Won't be going again.

Good honest grub. Lovely cooked breakfast and particularly welcoming atmosphere.Better value than other coffee places in Oundle

After a long walk around the town and river it was time for a coffee. I had seen the Coffee Tavern at the start of my walk so decided to give it a go. There were several types of coffee and other hot drinks available as well a wide selection of home made cakes. I chose a Latte and Victoria Sponge. Both were very nice. There is plenty of seating both upstairs and down and service was very quick. The only slight downside I thought it was just a bit pricey.

I have been going to The Coffee Tavern for over 25 years now, and it never fails. The staff are all local and lovely, the service friendly and the food good value. The bacon, Brie and cranberry baguettes are my guilty passion! This Tavern is a favourite Oundle haunt for all my family, it does breakfast, lunch, tea and cake and caters for everybody.

Had heard great reviews about breakfast here so decided to give it a go. Big selection on offer, and apart from 'big breakfast' all cost £6.75 and are along the lines of bacon, egg, tomato, toast and fried potatoes. Sausage, egg, mushroom, toast and fried potatoes. Bacon, beans, egg, toast and fried potatoes. Basically every combination included fried potato. As I don't eat potato I asked if it was possible to swap the potato for another item maybe beans. I was told I could drop the potato but would need to pay an additional £1 if I required an additional side!! Hence I won't be rushing back!

Use this café, even though I live in Wellingborough.Lived in Northants. for 35 years and as a walker and former cyclist it is the best café I have found in Northants.

Went to the Coffee Tavern at the Oundle Christmas Fair today and couldn't believe how understaffed it was. I don't get what the manager is thinking. Hats off to the young girls who were doing a great job in the circumstances, but can't help thinking the manager must be in breach of some employment laws to have such young staff on their own in such busy circumstances. Well done to them.

My mum and I visited whilst attending the Oundle Christmas Fair yesterday. It was pretty busy but we found a seat straight away. There were a few tables that needed cleaning and it seemed they were struggling to keep up. The service we had from the staff was great. Very friendly and welcoming. Our drinks and food also arrived very quickly. My mum had a tea cake and said it was delicious. I had a bacon sandwich which was filled and very filling. The only downsides were the delays in clearing the tables and that because it was a mix of table service or ordering at the counter, there was quite a long wait to pay the bill whilst others ordered food in front of me. The gents toilet is outside in the garden and could do with some tlc. Overall good food and drink but I'd say more staff are needed, and maybe some tlc in some areas of the cafe.

We had a Cheese Omelet and Cottage Pie, both were very good, lots of tasty cheese in the Omelet which was soft and cooked just right. The cottage pie was topped with a sprinkling of cheese and served with vegetables and lovely crisp chips. This is good wholesome food, cooked well and served in good portion sizes.

My family eat here regularly and my parents from Bucks insist on lunch at the CT every time they come to visit. The food is excellent as is the service and the value for money. The ambience is great because it has a buzz about it without being ridiculously busy.

Lovely little coffee shop/cafe. The food is wholesome and tasty, it won't set your world alight nor will it let you down. Strong coffee, which is always a plus!

My wife and I thought it would be good to go out for Sunday breakfast so we choose the Coffee Tavern. Very clean inside but quite busy. I went to order at the "hatch" while my wife sat down. 2 coffees and croissants. After queuing for 15 minutes I placed the order thinking that it wasn't very difficult and it might arrive quickly. 20 minutes later we had still not received anything! After 25 mins I decided enough was enough and asked for a refund, which was forthcoming.

We came her for breakfast around 11am Sunday morning, lovely staff, really good food and cosy little place, defiantly will come back :)

This place is not trendy but it is quick, smart, clean and offers exactly what you expect. The breakfasts are great. I recommend the full English.

We go here regularly with our grandchild, the food is good wholesome stuff, plenty that is suitable for a child. Also good for adults a huge choice of beakfasts, some of the best home made cake around, and good lasagne, shepherds pie etc etc. definitely worth a visit

Dropped the car off to be cleaned, got a hair cut, now breakfast before shopping. The coffee tavern always has a good atmosphere the food is freshly cooked and delicious. My wife had a bacon omelet which comes with salad and chips and I had the cooked breakfast sausages, egg, bacon, beans, potatoes, mushrooms and toast washed down with a cup of tea. A perfect start to the day

Don't think this is a place for coffee only, it serves lovely, down-to-earth, British meals at a very reasonable price. Access is a little difficult for people with limited mobility because there are unavoidable steps down into the Tavern but that is one of the consequences of visiting a quaint place in the centre of an ancient town. The food is very homely, wholesome and of generous proportions. I can't think of anything to complain about.

It is such a lovely traditional eatery at the coffee tavern, living in Oundle all my life I have eaten there many many times and it is delicious, last visit was at lunch time and I had a jacket potato. It came with a fantastic side salad and very yummy home made coleslaw and the cheese was sublime. You could tell straight away that only the best produce is used there. As I work in Oundle I will be using the coffee tavern for many more years.

A great little cafe with very friendly and effcient staff. Coffee was exceptionally good as were the cakes. This was our first visit but I'm sure it won't be our last.

Absolutely loved my recent visit to the Coffee Tavern, everytime I go back the standard just as high as the first time I visited. The panini's are a definite favourite of mine with a portion of chips! And the ice cream milkshakes are unbeatable! I always sit upstairs, the Windows by the table are great for people watching with a pot of tea, and the general atmosphere is lovely, either to meet friends or to sit and do some work. Recently the cafe has been updated with new seats, giving it a really fresh feel. Everytime I go in I get the impression that the owners really care about and take pride in their business, and it shows with all of the happy customers! I'll definitely be returning soon!

came here today for my mums birthday for the 1st time, the food was outstanding & you get loads, the scampi & chips beat ll 3 who ordered it in out party & the portion was massive, think thay savedthemselves for the pudding which was yummy. the service was great, the place was bus but did not wait long for the food to be served.. Will be returning at a later date to sample something else off the menu :)

This cafe is beautifully clean, lovely staff and the best breakfast. It was delicious, the sausage and bacon were very good quality. We have eaten breakfast out many times, but this was so good we went to the kitchen to say thank you. We will certainly visit again.

Lots of choice and they offer all day breakfast which I love. Friendly staff, good prices and tasty food.
