The Faringdon Coffee House in Vale of White Horse

Amazing place for great coffee and the best Indonesian food, as good as when I was in Indonesia! Definitely recommending this place to everyone I know. The owner is such a sweet person also and makes the experience such a treat

Stumbled upon this place when visiting Farringdon and we were so pleasantly surprised. The restaurant owner is very sweet and went out of her way for us. The ambiance was amazing and the food was unreal! The coffee was really nice as well. Would definitely come back again. 10/10

Had a lovely time, really amazing Indonesian food and excellent service

The hospitality and service are excellent! One of the best beef rendang dishes I've ever tried in the UK, perfectly balanced and adjusted to locals' palate and taste! And last but not least, a very aesthetic interior design!

Excellent little cafe, the noodles were great!

Top little place. Simple and very effective. Indonesian food is bang on, authentic no frills deliciousness. Great coffee and service. If only they'd open a full restaurant

An absolutely lovely meal. I truly recommend the egg rice. Exceptional potion sizes and phenomenal Indonesian flavours. Honestly I can’t believe how good the food was at such a low price.

We have had lunch here twice recently and will come back regularly! We were also delighted to learn that they do take-away Indonesian meals once a fortnight. We have tried nasi goreng, mie goreng and beef rendang all absolutely delicious! The Indonesian owners are very warm and welcoming, we shared stories about life in Jakarta. A treasure of a café!

Seeking for a place to have some lunch we spotted this lovely cafe at the core of Faringdon. To our surprise aside of the usual sandwich’s and cakes the menu have an Indonesian cuisine alternative. both of us choose the Beef Rendang: delicious! We also treat ourselves with a lovely Cheesecake and Capuccino. We will definetly come back!

THE best rendang curry I have ever had - incredible. Comes with veg and rice - and a chat from the chef. The hosts were really kind, they were near close, but managed to fit us in. Wow what a delicious lunch - a definite recommendation!

Had a lovely lunch at this cute little cafe. Staff were very friendly and the food was amazing. Cooked as spicy as you wanted. We shared a meal as we weren’t too hungry and the portion size was very good. We will definitely visit again in the future!

Stopped here on route to Bath. Very friendly and welcoming. Great coffee and tasty food (cheese and pickle toastie). Lovely little find

Delicious and authentic Indonesian food, friendly staff and good prices. I made a mistake placing my order and forgot to ask for one of the coffees to be decaf, tried to pay for it at the end but the owner wouldn’t let me - very sweet and generous of her. The place is dog friendly too, it just needed to be a little bit warmer and I’d have given it 5 stars.

Lovely hot food and coffee, not tried the cold food or cakes although they do look nice.

Delish! Fantastic Indonesian food

Fantastic scone and coffee. Wife had mi goreng and said it was the best she’s ever had, 10/10 lovely staff too

Delicious beef Rendang & friendly service. If you don’t know Indonesian food, try this place: you taste the love & heart they put into their dishes, which are hearty & tasty - especially in the cold winter months.

Stopped in for lunch. The service was very kind, the food was really really good (had the noodles, and the chicken curry), and portion size was filling. The puddings/pastries looked good but we didnt have space left. It's right in the centre of town so lots of people watching. There is plenty of street parking, or a 2hr free carpark just a block away. Definitely would come back, for a meal or for a coffee and pastry.

Great small cafe with the usual sandwich menu but in addition had an Indonesian menu. Our desire for a simple sandwich evaporated once we saw the quality of latter We both had curry, one beef and one chicken. The quality, quantity and presentation were excellent. The flavours were distinct and very enjoyable. This was a real surprise. Cakes look lovely too but we were just too full and will return to try anothertime Good friendly staff

Amazing place, 100% REAL TRADITIONAL PADANG/INDONESIAN FOOD, Service was the best in Faringdon, Honestly have been in alot of cafe/diners around Oxfordshire and this is the best by far, their iyam panggang was lamak bana!!!!!, will be returning 100%. Thankyou for your service!!!!!!

Lovely cafe stop on my bike ride, had a delicious passionfruit cheesecake and iced coffee served by friendly staff. There is a sturdy bicycle rack right outside, and sitting in the pleasant outdoor area or inside by the window gives you a good view to keep a reassuring eye on your ride. Will definitely be back!

A gem of a cafe that I stumbled upon. The food is great (with Indonesian food options too), the people are lovely and the atmosphere is relaxed. I highly recommend this cafe.

Fantastic service and incredible food! Amazing to find, Thank you! We loved special rice and noddles and my Mum had a delicious toasted sandwich. Something for everyone, and all delicious!!

Beautiful café, with authentic and really tasty food. Pleasantly surprised to see such an amazing halal food option in this cute town. The owners are very warm and friendly. Highly recommended for anyone in the area.

The staffs are nice and polite. We ordered fried rice, fried noodle and nasi rendang. The foods were delicious. Would definitely come again.

Had the most amazing time at this beautiful cafe, the lady who served us was so lovely and the food was amazing! Everything was presented so nicely, I’ve never had chips taste so nice in my life 🤣 We had a delicious cheese cake too, I couldn’t fault anything! 😍

Delicious authentic Indonesian food in Faringdon! Service is excellent, prices are very reasonable and everything tastes amazing - would particularly recommend the Mie Goreng. Deserves 5 stars and more.

Got iced mocha to take away, friendly but took a very long time to make and then pretty sure it was regular milk not oat and also definitely didn’t have coffee in it! Cookie was nice enough.

What a great find in Farringdon. I’m learning Indonesian and The Coffee House was recommended by my teacher. The owners were wonderfully hospitable and tolerated my basic language ability!! Much more importantly, the food was superb. I had the beef Renang which was delicious and I will be back to try the fried noodles and nasi goreng. Restoran enak sekali - Saya mau kembali!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Stopped with some friends and were greeted warmly by the owners. Tea served and there was a selection of goodies to choose from, both sweet and savoury. A pleasant place for rest and refreshment.

Such tasty food and lovely friendly staff. Highly recommend this place!

Very friendly staff with good authentic food.

Nice for tea and scons with butter and jam. We'll come again.

Loved the coffee and jam and cream scone in this beautiful old building...so admire the decor,the mirrors and the wonderful old fireplace surrounded with flowers ..and the scone was delicious..my daughter had a vegan choice with almond in it and oatmeal latte . Which she loved and kind servicev

Lovely little cafe, serving hot British and Indonesian food, cakes, coffees and soft drinks etc...

Had the beef rendang and a hot chocolate both of which were of a much higher calibre than i was expecting for the price. Made to feel very welcome lovely atmosphere lovely team. Will be going there again for sure. Thank you.

Small cafe in Central location with friendly helpful staff. Only had a coffee but food looked nice.

Just had a nice grilled sandwich at the coffee house. Be aware that their Indonesian offerings (that I was hoping to eat) are only available Tues to Thursday and Friday before 12 in-case you are travelling just for this.

Came in today with my mum who lives in the village to try the traditional Indonesian noodles , the lovely lady who runs the cafe said they were not serving hot food today due to Friday prayer , she then went to talk to her husband and came back and said he would do it as he had time which was amazing and we didn’t expect him to , the service is amazing and so friendly and the food was just perfect really lovely cafe , pop in if you are close by you won’t be disappointed , 5 stars ⭐️ from me

Fantastic coffee stop on the main square in Faringdon, well worth a visit and a new firm favourite with the locals!! Great coffee.... So much better than the big brand coffee shops....😉

Amazing Indonesian food. We ve been in UK for more than 2 yrs, I must admit this is one of the best, taste authentic and homecook. They offer a few menu but I must they are all their speciality. Nasi goreng (friend rice) and mee goreng (fried noodle) are highly recommended. Friendly owner and chef. Clean restaurant. Most importantly, food is halalan toyyiban 👍🏼👍🏼

Amazing service and brilliant food. Thank you for looking after us so well 🙏

We drove here from Bicester for lunch on a friend's recommendation - public parking is nearby and free for up to 2h. Location is attractive and peaceful, and there is a bus route direct to Oxford with a stop outside the building. Atmosphere is very...

served by 2 very friendly ladies, lots of really good food on offer, we had different flavoured teas, scones and a pistachio cannelloni which were delicious. the man at the next table had some noodles which smelt amazing. we came I with a buggy and they helped us move some chairs around to make space.

The coffee shop is located in Faringdon, a cute little town near Oxford, England offering variety of food and drink including sandwiches and coffee. What makes this place special is the Indonesian food! There are not many Indonesian restaurants in England, let alone Indonesian restaurant...

Yummy foods with good service and atmosphere. The decorations is beautiful and the taste is excellent. You can easily find the place in the Faringdon market, just next to the bus stop from Oxford. You can even wait the bus while enjoy your coffee - because you can see the bus from the window.

I love this cafe. They have variety of delicious foods. We can ask the spicy level and the owners were lovely husband and wife. We ordered nasi goreng spicy, rendang daging with rice and mi goreng. The most important is it’s halal. Their deserts were...

This little cafe is by far my favourite place to come for lunch in Faringdon. Within a walking distance from home, serves tasty Indonesian cousine and it's normally quite busy. The owners are very nice and always make sure we have a good time and...

As I have said above, this is a wonderful place, quiet and unassuming. Wonderful views over the market place and the town.

it seemed just an ordinary coffee shop in the market square. It was intriguing to find out that it was run by an Indonesian couple. The welcome was warm and a table was soon found for the four of us. There was Indonesian food and...

This coffee shop goes above and beyond in all aspects! You're immediately greeted with genuinely kind, friendly faces, who make you feel very well taken care of throughout the whole experience. The food is a small menu of delicious indonesian plates (I honestly couldn't pick...

The nicest food and the nicest staff!!! Couldn't recommend enough!

We were able to sit in the sun while enjoying hot drinks and cakes. Service a little slow but cakes were delicious. Staff were very lovely. Thank you for looking after us

Lovely friendly welcome, nice coffee, great location. What's not to love?!

Enjoyed a lovely coffee with friends

Very small piece of cake that was dry and tasted stale . Coffee OK. Would not return.

Lovely little coffee stop , going coffee nice people.

Go for the Indonesian dishes. They where literally the best I have ever eaten

Delightful! Super cup of tea served in a beautiful teapot and matching bone china cup. We had Nasi Goreng which was gorgeous. Would highly recommend.

What a lovely place! The staff are extremely friendly and the traditional Indonesian food is amazing! Would absolutely recommend to anyone!

The best Indonesian cafe with a great ambience

A small business and super lovely owners! The Indonesian food is delish and there’s classic cafe food too! Definitely worth a visit!

Wonderful atmospheric place serving authentic Indonesian food to die for. Can't wait to go there again.

Had a great lunch here. Both my partner and I had beef rendang, which was delicious. Came with rice, broccoli (mix of tenderstem and standard) and carrots. They also brought out some prawn crackers and sweet chilli sauce before our meals came. Such good value and they are really friendly. My partner was eyeing some delicious looking lemon drizzle cake, but we were too full.

Lovely coffee, hot cross buns and canolli. And really lovely people. Very happy to have stumbled upon you ☺

Lovely people.great food at good prices.

So happy to find this gem in Faringdon! Beef rendang and nasi goreng is amazing. Owner is friendly. Will definitely return again.

We were looking for somewhere to have a fast lunch meal and we found this cozy cafe next to the city centre. We tried some Indonesian dishes in the menu and they were delicious! Way beyond what you would expect from any cafe, really worth to try out! Plus, the service is perfect and they are super nice and polite. I will come back for sure!

I dived in here looking for a place to take cover from the weather while on my bike as there is parking outside. They do the best Nasi Goreng you'll ever have along with a few other Indonesian dishes as well as the usual quaint...

Whilst exploring Faringdon, come lunchtime and feeling peckish, we asked of a lady in the museum where we might find a good eatery, she suggested the 'Faringdon Coffee House' right next door. Thinking of a cup of coffee and a sandwich we popped in. What...

Lovely place,Indonesian curry was lovely,fragrant,not full of chilli,nicely presented,tasted great,best meal iv had in months.nice friendly ambience,staff lovely from young lad waiting up to mature chef,will return with my mum as their cakes looked amazing

Our first visit was today . Lovely staff:) curry was amazing:) definitely coming back. Coffee was excellent is well. Highly recommend

The most amazing coffee shop I have ever been to. It is cosy, friendly and ever so welcoming. Definitely will be coming back and the Indonesian food is so authentic and cooked by an Indonesian! Couldn't recommend this more to anyone !

The most amazing owners and service. The friendliest people ever. The food is just so delicious and will definitely come back for more. The Indonesian food cooked by an Indonesian chef was to die for. Authentic and the real deal!

Great place nice friendly service

A nice authentic non-franchise coffee shop try and get a window seat over looking Faringdon market place

I come here all the time as it is my favourite cafe! I order the mi goreng dish and it’s absolutely delicious. It’s so well presented and my favourite food. 100% recommend :) I also recommend the vegetable spring rolls which are amazing too!

Visited many times, has been good but recently it's hit and miss as to whether they have menu items available and also hit and miss whether they are even open. I tried to pop in a couple of weeks ago and it was shut. I tend to go to Costa now as at least it's reliable with food offering and opening time

Beautiful little coffee house will definitely pop in again when we visit my brother super friendly people x

The coffee and sweet snack I had sitting in the lovely bay window was so good that I decided to return for lunch . The Indonesian speciality , Nasi Goring and the Chicken curry were both tasty ( albeit the chicken rather dry but OK...

We popped in for a coffee & cake but, intrigued by the delicious looking Indonesian savoury offerings at the counter, the specials board and the incredibly friendly lady serving... we dived in with a nasi goreng and katsu curry! SUPERB food. This cafe is a...

Unexpected hidden gem. Beautiful traditional Indonesian curry transported me right back to Bali! Highly recommend

When I read in the reviews they have nasi and bami goreng I needed to try this for myself. I ate this a lot growing up and I was not dissappointed. If it wasn't for the fact we were staying in a hotel without fridge...

My husband and I stumbled across this cosy little café on our honeymoon and were delighted with the quality coffee and deliciously authentic Indonesian dishes at affordable prices. The friendly husband and wife team were so pleasant and we had a great chat! We loved...

Fantastic lunch of spicy noodles. Together with good coffee and great service.

Excellent coffee. Nice outdoor seating

I hadn't visited this cafe before and was delighted to have lunch at the pretty tables outside, overlooking the market square. I was going to have a sandwich but instead, was tempted by the Indonesian nasi goreng fried rice which came with with a delicious...

Excellent service, amazing food and drink. Loved the juxtaposition of having a cup of Earl Grey with a nasi goreng fried rice, and it worked perfectly, both delicious. The owners are extremely friendly, went out of their way to ensure we were happy. Can't recommend...

good indonesian food. very friendly owners. perfect in a quaint town!

Very reasonably priced, delicious food and friendly service. We were able to sit outside with our dog.

Very nice, quite a range of food, including Indonesian for lunch. Good coffee. Very good location in town square. Pleasant service.

The Beef Rendang curry was delicious. Attentive service and non-Malaysian offerings too! Very pleasant and would recommend

A really pleasant experience with excellent coffee and amazing cake. Vanilla cheesecake and banoffee pie. Absolutely delicious. Well worth a visit 😊

Lovely owners and authentic Indonesian food at a café run by an Indonesian family! What a find!

Really enjoyed the food here. Great lemon meringue pie - how do you get the lemon so fresh tasting without the bitterness (and it wasn't sugar). Maybe a tad pricey for a sandwich but you could tell it was fresh produce and prepared upon order so was worth it.

Really friendly service with delicious, authentic Indonesian food. Would highly recommend 10/10. Great for coffee and cake or a nice lunch.

Incredible Indonesian food, warm service and complimentary vegetable fritters as we had to wait a bit for our food - but it was fresh and flavoursome.

Stopped for a cup of tea, sandwich and cake. The tea was served in a beautiful China teapot/cup and saucer. Sandwich was very nice as was the Victoria sponge. Staff all very friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend
