The Food of Love in Stratford-on-Avon - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Called in today to have a breakfast as I was taking my car to be repaired. It was a wonderful breakfast plenty of choice and food it was cooked to perfection the service was excellent I thoroughly enjoyed it would definitely come again. I would give it 10 out of 10.

We had a lovely Sunday afternoon lunch here and sat outside in the shade. Lots of choice from lite bites to main meals. Very friendly staff. Food came quickly and was hot and tasty.

The staff here were so friendly. We had a breakfast and coffee which I really enjoyed, but I also loved how the owner(?) happily let us sit and chat long after we'd finished without chivvying us on. Great location, right in the centre of the Shakespeare action, and lovely to sit outside in the sunshine. Thank you. :)

A very friendly atmosphere where you can get good home cooked food. Excellent value for money and a wide selection of tasty food to choose from. It is right in the centre of town in a great location.

Fantastic lunch for the family in a great location! The service was great and food delicious! We had a mixture of main meals and sandwiches and all appeared simultaneously.

Amazing Cafe, great value breakfast and delicious panini's! Came here with friends ,and nothing was too much for the ever so polite servers. Next time I'm in Shakespeare country ,will definitely come again! Thanks again for everything x

Wonderful choice and family friendly environment. Lovely service and timely manner. A fantastic choice for locals and tourists.

My daughter and I enjoyed soup and sandwiches here during a stop in Stratford-upon-Avon as part of a larger bus tour. Our guide recommended it for a quick bite and it was a great option. Very large selection of options. We enjoyed the vegetable soup (perfect on the cold day we visited!), a ham and cheese panini, and a slice of quiche. Friendly staff, quick service, and reasonable prices.

My family and I visited the Food of Love on 4 occasions within the last 2 weeks. The staff were amazing and kind, delivering our order efficiently and ensuring that our visits were pleasurable. Isaac, our server was great in particular - he was very polite and respectful. The food was great at a reasonable price and the owner was extremely welcoming to us on each occasion, engaging in a good conversation. We will be sure to return as frequently as possible.

This is the5 time we visited the restaurant, we found it to be clean pleasant and a vast menu, today I had bacon cheese and mushroom jacket potato, good size filled with bacon, cheese, mushroom and a hot cappuccino, everything came out as ordered and coffee nice and hot, my wife had the avocado prawn and mayo jacket, hers was delicious and plentiful, this place is clean pleasant staff reasonably priced and pleasant atmosphere, will definitely come again,

It was our first time here, and we were attracted to it by the menu and reasonable prices. I had to return my food. The "who I assume was the " manager was excellent, He offered sincere apologies and said the item was below their usual standards, He offered alternatives over and above our expectations. The staff were cheerful and efficient. Coffee we had earlier, was lovely. Well done everyone. We'll certainly return.

Arrived in Stratford looking for lunch and came across this great little café. 2 of our party had the full English breakfast which included generous portions and toast with butter. I had the pasta with Mediterranean sauce which was delicious. Counter service with meals brought to the table. Friendly efficient service. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. The cakes looked fabulous although we didn't try them.

First visit to this venue, it certainly won't be our last! The breakfast was great, good portions, well presented and quality produce. Attentive friendly staff a great place to eat. Before leaving we checked out the rest of the menu readying ourselves for the next visit.

This was a nice cafe with friendly staff selling decent food at a reasonable price. What more could you want? Well, it is dog-friendly, too, and we sat next to a very friendly but calm one called Mina who was visiting with her German owners. I'd visit again, which is always a good sign.

Plenty of space to be seated, inside and outside. Lovely range of food. Quick and friendly service. Good for families.

I had a cheese, ham and tomatoe panini Delicious. My husband had carrot cake, served with a caramel sauce and cream. Again Delicious. Would highly recommend. Lovely smiley staff as well.

This cafe is our very favourite in Stratford - each time we visit we immediately go here for a sumptuous breakfast and plenty of latte coffee - The hosts, Gav Georgina and beautiful baby Demitri always welcome us with open arms - I even got to have a lovely 10 minutes cuddling the baby as Georgina had her hands full with a flurry of customers !!!!! This is a cafe not to be missed - food first class and staff superb - see you in June or July Wendy and Brian xxxx

The staff were lovely and the food was great. I’m vegetarian and was happy with the choice. I definitely recommend this cafe.

Excellent quality food. Lovely experience, friendly service. Right in the centre of town, opposite Shakespeares Birthplace. Can dine inside and outside. It's the place we love to eat whenever we come to Stratford upon Avon.

We visited today. I ordered a tuna jacket potato and my partner had the bacon, mushroom and cheese crepe. As always the food was delicious. The owners and staff are always professional and friendly. Already looking forward to my next visit.

It was a lovely sunny day to explore Stratford upon Avon and very close to Shakespeares House is this charming cafe with outdoor seating. Plenty of veggie options in a deli style operation. We sat outside soaking in the sun. The service was fairly quick...

One of the best veggie breakfasts I've ever had - loads of gorgeous grilled veg, halloumi, the whole shabang! Just great :)

My husband and I visited visited Stratford upon Avon and stopped by this lovely little cafe for a cup of tea. We had a warm welcome and sat near the back. When we saw the cakes that were offer we opted for the cream tea....

Most helpful people! The place has a cozy atmosphere and a great breakfast that we enjoyed so very much!

Simply love visiting this lovely restaurant. Fantastic location, friendly helpful staff, gorgeous food and dog friend! What more can you ask for? Highly recommended. Well done to all staff involved.

On a cold misty day, the 4 of us, plus labrador, met up in The Food of Love. It was lovely and warm & we were quickly found a table inside. Service was quick & the Staff & Management were very polite. 2 jacket potatoes,...

An airy cafe with warm energetic staff. You order at the counter but you are welcomed long before ordering. Lovely carrot cake, luscious gluten free cannolis and great coffee. The salads and sandwiches looked fresh and appetising. The room is a bit narrow but there...

A lovely cosy friendly cafe. The food was great and the service was excellent and very welcoming and friendly.

Superb service Great welcome Fabulous food Having visited a very poor, overrated BTP for breakfast yesterday, this is the total opposite! Amongst the best breakfast we've ever enjoyed, from the warm welcome at the counter to the excellent serving staff - wow absolutely 5* +...

I visited this restaurant with my hungry 5yo daughter whilst the Victorian Christmas Market was on. I ordered food and was let down by Apple Pay so the payment wouldn’t go through. Stupidly, I hadn’t brought my card out with me. The manager tried to...

Visited this restaurant while in Stratford and was very pleasantly surprised by the warm greeting, great food and wonderful hot chocolate. Would, without question, recommend stop-by to this restaurant when in Stratford-upon-Avon. And very welcoming of families.

So pleased to find a restaurant doing all day breakfast in Stratford. My veggie breakfast was excellent, although asparagus and halloumi was a little unusual with friend eggs and beans. Service was excellent, and my disabled scooter was made welcome, couldn't get in the disabled...

Me and my partner have been having meals here for the last few years. Friendly staff and fantastic food with a large menu whether you require Breakfast , lunch or dinner. The food has always been excellent and the prices always reasonable. Thank you Martin...

Stumbled in here while doing a Shakespeare tour. It was the best part of the 11 hour tour. Go here to eat Movenpick ice cream from Switzerland. It is THE BEST! Friendly staff too.

Such a lovely cafe with such welcoming and friendly staff! Also had one of the best Oreo milkshakes ever!

Great variety of food, including vegan and vegetarian options. Very friendly service. Would definitely come again.

Very nice atmosphere and great food! Staff were friendly and there was a variety of food and drink options including vegetarian and vegan friendly options. The crepes were amazing, definitely worth the visit! :)

The staff are super friendly and brought our milkshakes and crepes to our table really quickly. The milkshakes and crepes were top quality too, and well worth the price.

Good variety of food with a excellent quality and taste. The staff is helpful and kind. We really enjoy our lunchtime at this place.

Very chaotic behind the counter, too many people in a small space. Long wait to order then another long wait for our jacket potatoes, which were stone cold when they arrived. Should have complained really but just wanted to leave. Won't be going there again.

The ice cream is delicious and everyone is very friendly. They also have food, sweet treats, and beverages!

Whilst on holiday in Warwickshre we visited Stratford - upon - Avon on Tuesday the 7th June, 2022. We called in at the 'Food of Love' cafe in Henley Street for an afternoon snack. The staff were very friendly and courteous. The place was very...

A warm welcome, we seated at a nice table, the place was practically empty. We decided and ordered at the bar. Food arrived promptly, the bacon was a good quality, the sausage equally as good. The coffee was nice, not brilliant, but not terrible. The...

We came to Stratford for a weekend break but didn't want to pay hotel prices for breakfast. We also didn't want to go to chain restaurants or coffee shops - of which there are many in Stratford. We happened across The Food of Love on...

What a little gem, a very friendly place to eat Lovely atmosphere and delicious food We’ll worth a visit Freshly cooked food Very helpful staff

My husband and I spent a couple of nights in Stratford upon Avon and were advised to have breakfast in one of the Henley Street cafes. We stumbled upon The Food of Love and were immediately impressed by the friendly and warm welcome from the...

I was on a tour with students and we stopped in for lunch because this place is perfectly located near the Birthplace of William Shakespeare. I had a lovely Cornish pasty. One of my group member had a hot chocolate and said it was fabulous....

My husband and I visited the food of love café before we went to visit Shakespeare’s house and grounds. The café offers a varied menu and had lots of different options to cater for everyone. When we received our food the owner came over and...

My hubby & I are vegetarian, he is lactose intolerant and I am coeliac, so normally finding places to eat which cater for us both is difficult. Today we visited Food of Love and both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I had a gluten free potato...

Visited the food of love yesterday afternoon food was delicious and fresh the crepes where to die for the staff where extremely polite and we was made very welcome will definitely return soon xx

I have had a lot of full English breakfasts in my time but the one I had today topped the lot From the moment I walked through the door the service was second to none And when the breakfast arrived it was very well presented...

This cafe offers a wonderful range of food, that suit all. The staff are warm and friendly. It is so rare these days to find a cafe that is this good!!! Please don't ever change. Thank you for a lovely experience and we will be...

Dropped in here during the Christmas holidays for breakfast. The food was great and served quickly even though they were quite busy. The staff were really friendly. Good value for money as well. Will visit again - well recommended.

What gem of a cafe in Stratford. Can’t recommend enough. The extremely helpful and friendly staff couldn’t do enough to accommodate our difficult dietary need helped however, by a selection of dairy free delights. Food scrummy. Will definitely go again and again when in Stratford

Just a bacon sandwich and tea for me. Was hoping for better than basic white sliced bread for the money though. Nothing wrong but can’t score more than average.

Thank you to georgina, gav and staff for making jo and myself very welcome on Saturday. What a little gem this cafe is the food is freshly made to order and is so delicious, the crepes are to die for but not good for the...

They banana milkshake was the amazing and the salted caramel cannoley was a dream they was a new worker he was polite and amazing at his job the place is clean and is amazing to eat in

We stopped for Coffee and a Crepe during a walkabout in Stratford, and later in the day were happy to return for another Coffee and Clotted cream scones in the afternoon. Lovely Coffee and treats , would recommend.

Had a lovely lunchtime panini and drink on a stop off from all the stomping around. I had a Halloumi, ham and cheese panini and the.other half just had ham and cheese. Very clean and covid compliant, toilet was very well kept too....always a good...

Full English Here for breakfast, and speed of service was good. Loads of toast but missing sausages (which came late and were not so tasty). It’s a 3 star for service, 2 for decor !

Super location, opposite Brad's house in pedestrian street. Great food and service. Loved it came back for more

Went there for afternoon tea and cake on my wife's birthday. Service was great and the cakes superb. Only thing I would say is that too many vegan cakes on sale and not enough "proper" cakes but what we had was real good

Tried this place on a whim and what a fantastic choice it was. Kids had crepes which were out of this world. Smoothies were a pint of pure goodness. Our waitress Mischa was so lovely and very helpful. She is a real credit to the...

Had an early breakfast for 6. Had a variety and it was all very good. Much better experience than Bensons next door

One of the hidden gems of Stratford upon Avon. Alot of cafe choices, but this one has history and Is a family run business that makes it even more welcoming. Anything you order is excellent from food to deserts. Always my favourite choice for visiting.

Popped in for lunch as there seemed to be a decent selection but have to say the quality was poor. Was shocked that the toasties etc didn’t come with either chips or crisps or anything. My Mediterranean veg panini strangely had asparagus and then just...

Stumbled upon this little gem today when looking for breakfast, the homemade food all looked amazing. Reasonable price, genuinely friendly staff. Only recommendation I would have is that they show off some of the food in their front window. But we’ll worth a visit.

Walked in to a lovely display of food. My order was in front of me within minutes. Very delecious worth every penny!

Terrible cheap sausage and bread at inflated prices! Nice staff, but the food reheated from the chiller inside is terrible. Wouldn’t mind paying the price if decent food! There are better cafes available in such a beautiful spot!

Visit 7 August 2021. Choice of food was excellent. Presentation, portion and flavoursome would have been difficult to find elsewhere. Very young staff so polite, professional and nothing too much trouble. If I visit Stratford-Upon-Avon again I know where I will be dining

Amazing food, plenty to choose from and very quick service. Food arrived quick and staff were very friendly. Would recommend to anyone I know for a light bite or something more filling.

This was the first time that my friends and I had visited Stratford Upon Avon and we were throughly impressed throughout our stay. Not only did we visit a town that was filled with such history, we also visited many restaurants, cafes and bistros during...

My family and I visited the cafe. I have to say it was the best we have been to (we go to a lot). Service was excellent. Food was delicious. Drinks were as we had hoped too. Highly recommend this place.

Very pricey for what we got. No cheaper kids alternatives. Sandwich was missing one of it's 3 ingredients and the tea didn't taste of much. Lots of better alternatives nearby.

This was our worst food experience in Stratford when we visited. We popped in for some lunch and hoped that it would be good based on the somewhat mixed reviews. My friend ordered a sugar and lemon crepe and I ordered a vegetarian panini. There...

First of all i had a pecan pastry and it was absolutely lovely, a bit sweet but very nice. But then my friend and i got and iced coffee each with vanilla, and it was really really creamy, far too creamy, massively foamy, which isn’t...

Husband was able to select own fillings, as made fresh to order. I had chicken brie and cranberry. fresh chicken, thick slices of brie. No skimping here. More impressive was the level of service. Nothing was a problem. A lovely touch. A gentleman wanted to...

Panini was nice but expensive for what they were, especially as there's no side. The tiny bit of salad that came with them was pretty poor.

Adequate but very very average breakfast using poor quality ingredients. Expensive for something so average especially as tea wasn't included as usually is in cafes. I could have made better at home.

We had a lovely breakfast here, food really nice and the staff really friendly and helpful we will definitely come back here again

Not only was the food incredible the serving was great, warm, friendly and welcoming. I will be visiting again! No complaints!

I have been this place a few times for the first time It’s a family run business their customer service is amazing I highly recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for a good efficient customer service & great food . Thanks guys

Had a lovely panini with quick and friendly service. As well as nice and welcoming atmosphere and a variety of food to choose from.

We popped in yesterday afternoon for a cream tea and food for our little one. One of the worst cream teas I’ve ever had, scone was dry and flavourless, and the jam and cream we just small amount smashed in a large dish, zero for...

Very welcoming and friendly. Good coffee and freshly prepared food. Handy for the old town and near Shakespeare’s birthplace.

Stopped for a bite to eat after an unimpressive breakfast elsewhere and was still hungry. Friendly greeting and quick service. Totally average decor and food with good prices but enjoyed our food and appreciated the friendly service

Can’t recommend this place enough! Great salads and coffee was of real quality! Friendly staff and an all round lovely atmosphere. Will be coming back for sure!

We passed this cafe today and seeing the outdoor tables busy we decided it must be popular and so we’d give it a go. We weren’t disappointed!! I ordered a tuna melt panini and my husband had the potato and spinach bake which was accompanied...

Disappointing! 3 of us went in here for lunch and have to say although it was very busy at the time, the food wasn’t up to much and we only had soup and sandwiches which arrived about 30 minutes after we sat down at our...

Came here for lunch with my partner. Lots of choices on the menu and all reasonably priced. My partner had the prawn salad which came with a good portion of juicy prawns and decent mixed salad. I had the potato, spinach and cheese bake, which...

Was very uneasy here and wished we hadn’t come here. I mentioned to a member of staff there was no social distancing and she just smiled. There was a dirty towel hanging in the ladies toilet. I noticed tables were not cleaned between customers.

Came to Stratford upon Avon for the day, for the first time ... and I was lead to this place ... as I walked I was warmly welcomed by staff. Didn’t have to wait very long for food and it looked and taste amazing .....

Standard sandwiches and cakes in a charmlessly old fashioned cafe. Friendly, helpful staff. Stepping outside there are far more attractive looking cafes nearby

In Shakespeare's country Stratford upon Avon, found this lovely little eating establishment on the main street. Just had the best strawberry ice cream you could buy being autistic and visually impaired the staff were friendly and helpful and kind atmosphere lovely and quiet people eating...

Food was delicious with lots of choice. Staff were lovely and accommodating. Brilliant cafe with good food at affordable prices.

This quaint cafe has such a lovely friendly atmosphere! The staff are all very kind and accommodating and the food is wonderful. There is a wide range of choice from savoury to sweet and everything I had was absolutely delicious :)

Roasted vegetable and halloumi panini is the best I've ever had. The staff were very friendly. I will be back.

Tomatoes from a tin, sausage not edible. Salmon bagel without salmon, baked beans in ketchup. I would definitely NOT recommend.

The menu for this restaurant filled me with joy and happiness, almost a wall full of options provided. I ordered a cream cheese and smoke salmon bagel, arriving in component form, meaning I had to arrange it myself. I was already disappointed, expecting to instantly tuck in to a scrumptious bagel, but instead I had to make it. The £6 grilled halloumi consisted of two small pieces of the cheese doused in oil, as if a dog was hosed after a muddy walk, and of course the usual succulent, addictive taste of the cheese was lost in the sea of yellow liquid. For me, this was an absolute disaster and I highly DO NOT recommend it if you value decent food.

Mientras trabajo en Stratford, me gusta probar los cafés independientes y este es, de lejos, el mejor lugar. Todo el personal es amable y servicial, y la comida es increíble. Definitivamente me he convertido en un habitual por su gran relación calidad-precio. gracias
