The Front Room - Coffee and Lounge in Wycombe

More than a cafe; it's a community hub. Often live music in the evenings and fabulous food and coffee during the day. It's my favourite place to have a working-lunch or with my wife. Also dog friendly which is a huge bonus.

Found The Front Room, by accident last trip to High Wycombe & can't recommend enough - a relaxing and great place to meet, work, and even enjoy events!! Owner is lovely and staff are very friendly - so if you are in the area - or even if you are not - get yourselves down here!!!

These guys are super professional, despite being mega busy they kept an eye on everyone's order and kept the service top notch. The food is really good (excellent croissants) and the vibe is very much like being in Barcelona. Best cafe so far in high Wycombe

The Front Room isn’t just a coffee shop—it’s a true cornerstone of the community. With its warm, welcoming vibe and seriously good coffee, it’s the kind of place you visit once and instantly want to return to. Whether you’re popping in for a quick flat white or settling in with a book, you’re always greeted with a smile and made to feel right at home. One of the loveliest things about The Front Room is its commitment to the local community. They regularly host events after hours—everything from live music and craft nights to charity fundraisers and talks. It’s more than just a venue; it’s a space where people come together, connect, and support one another. And if you’re a dog owner, you’ll be happy to know that The Front Room is completely dog friendly. It’s not unusual to see a few furry friends lounging happily while their humans enjoy a cuppa. There’s water bowls, dog treats, and plenty of pats from the staff—your four-legged companion will be just as well looked after as you are. In short, The Front Room is everything a local coffee shop should be: excellent coffee, lovely people, and a heart firmly rooted in the community.

One of my favourite places to go for coffee. I love the coffee there and the friendly people. They always have vegan options including a selection of plant milks. They have matcha too!

Service is fab, whether I’m having my coffee in store or taking away. Lovely range of cakes and treats on offer, and the staff are always so friendly.

I love popping in here for a coffee and cake. The atmosphere is so nice and it’s such a welcoming space. I don’t drink but they also serve alcohol and cocktails in the evening and I’ve had some really nice mocktails here - the staff give some excellent recommendations! Would definitely recommend you pop in!

We love the Front Room! I first heard about it a few years ago from my daughter’s MacIntyre support worker, who used to take her there for work experience. Lauren was amazing with her. Since then we try and go whenever we’re down in Wycombe. It’s got such a fab, artsy vibe with the mix-matched seating and plants everywhere. Keep it up, Lauren, you and your staff are amazing!

What a wonderful place to visit. So friendly, welcoming, DELICIOUS food and DELICIOUS coffee. Highly recommend

I love the front room, it’s a very sentimental place to my family. With the great service, atmosphere and staff who become family. I spent a lot of my pregnancy relaxing there (and eating) and Lauren and the team hosted my baby shower I will forever be greatful for and recently celebrated my sons first birthday there where Lauren and the team took care of everything from invitations, decorations, catering and cake! Couldn’t be more greatful for the frontroom and all the staff. A wonderful place to go and enjoy some food, coffee or to work. Thank you team x

My favourite place for a coffee and brownie 😋

I love this place! The coffee is great but the milkshakes 👌 And if you see an event that you find interesting, jump on it! you won't be disappointed 😃

This is the best cafe in High Wycombe. I love this place for its friendly chilled vibe. The cosy sofas, gorgeous plants, pastries, and delicious cooked breakfasts.

We love visiting The Front Room! The coffee and hot chocolate are good and the cakes are amazing! We have more recently had the brunch/lunch menu, and again this was very good and tasty. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend visiting!!

I’ve been here a couple of times during the day and it’s lovely and chill. I came down for one of their evenings for the RnB night and the vibe was perfect - what a phenomenal place. The chesterfield sofas, the plants and the eclectic cocktails. For somewhere in the town centre to be grown up and chill is a difficult mix to achieve and The Front Room has done just this. Sitting outside opposite the church it’s peaceful and calming. I loved it and have raved about it to anyone that will listen! I’ll be back for sure 🫶🏼

Always welcomed with a smile and a great atmosphere, filled with people from all walks of life. Delicious drinks and food - we always love to come in to support this local business. Will continue to return ❤

I had an hour to kill in town whilst my car was being washed, so I thought I would treat myself to some lunch whilst I caught up on emails. Really recommend the salt beef focaccia and dragon fruit and mango iced tea. Great atmosphere and vibe and the hour flew by! Will definitely be heading back

such a wonderful place, beautiful plants, fabulous coffee and delicious food with a wonderful vibe and incredible events - independent with a big heart

Amazing coffee, delicious fresh food and lovely relaxed vibe!

The Front Room is literally my favourite place to think, breathe, be, chat with friends or have meetings. I love that you are all so friendly. I love that you all care so much in so many little and not-so-little ways. I love that it's one of very few places that - being coeliac and super-sensitive to cross-contamination - I can come and eat safely, knowing that you all get it. That means so much to me and it's a big part of why I come back time after time. It also says a lot about you and the ethos you have. It's so much more than a coffee shop. Keep doing what you're doing xx

Excellent coffee shop very conveniently located in the town centre. Very cosy atmosphere and the coffee and cakes are amazing! I've been coming here several years now and if you like a coffee shop with books and plants and friendly staff, I can't recommend The Front Room enough.

I love the front room! Very vibey, a quirky place to go. Where my family, friends and myself have always felt welcomed. They hold some fantastic events too so if you get a chance, check these out. Really enjoyable. Feels like a home from home. The food is always really good and so are the drinks. Sometimes can be busy at times. I think this reflects how popular it is and I think the staff handle this well when under pressure. Lauren is a lovely lady who has always made us all comfortable, even one time giving my dad a little cupcake when we got coffee to go. Makes such a difference. Plus you know she is a genuinely lovely person. Couldn’t recommend this place any more if I tried. Worth checking out if you haven’t been before! X

The best coffee shop in High Wycombe.Great atmosphere, menus and services!

Love it here. Always such a friendly welcome. I’ve sampled more than a few of the cakes, and they’ve all been epic. Especially the brownies.. Excellent coffee too.

Highly recommend this coffee lounge, the staff and owners are very friendly. Go and experience it for yourself, you would want to go anywhere else

Slightly disappointed as used to come here all the time some years ago. Run down, uncomfortable seating, reminded me of a garage.

Used to really enjoy this place but has gone downhill in recent times. Ordered a latte, tasted like watered down coffee. Reordered, tasted like sour coffee!

I hired The Front Room for a private function for my 30th birthday back in February. Lauren was easy to deal with and made me feel that everything was in control, leaving me with very little to organise which was great! We curated a menu that was Mediterranean with kebabs, gorgeous salads and rice, flatbreads and dips. The food was presented really well and everyone complimented it. The bar was well stocked and the staff were able to keep up with everyone's orders when there was an influx of people. We hired a DJ through The Front Room and sent them a playlist we made for them to play throughout the night. Karaoke would have been a winner, but this was not working on the night. All in all, it was a great venue to have hosted my party. Deco and vibes were spot on, and lots of people commented on the venue. Prior to hiring The Front Room, I have visited for coffee and lunch and have always enjoyed my time here due to its warm, cosy and intimate atmosphere. I would recommend The Front Room for anyone wanting to have a party here!

Wycombe radio bought me here and I was not disappointed. Fantastic staff and the cakes were delicious 😋

A lovely experience. Visited for the first time and be got be brunch. I opted to have the omelette and it was fantastic. Also, you can bring your reusable mug in and they'll use it for your hot drink. I would happily go again.

Tasty sandwhiches. Popped in here for brunch on the recommendation of a colleague, the food was really nice, the drinks looked lovely. It gets very busy on a Saturday morning very quickly and it can be hard to find a seat. (There is outdoor seating, too). Due to all the plants in the building, it had a damp smell and heavy moisture in the air. Which was unpleasnt until a door was left open for fresh air to flow through. Otherwise, nice enough.

The food is nothing short of fantastic. Especially for the price. Would highly recommend the French toast along with any of the drinks. My personal favourite is the pea butterfly latte with coconut milk and a shot of vanilla. I often come here to lock in for revision!

This cafe has consistently amazed me. The staff are always bright and Cheery and their deals are fantastic! I enjoy studying here at least once a week and the toasties, French toast and shakshouka are my favourites! Their coffees are fantastic and well priced

Immaculate vibe and incredibly kind staff. The food and drink is absolutely delicious. An absolute must if looking for a chill place to have a snack or lock in.

We came in for revision today and was greeted with plates of free food from their social media campaign. The shaskuka was impeccable being rich and creamy with hints of spice. The ginger shot drink was lovely with nice spicy aftertaste. Thank you so much to the team for making such amazing food. Will be coming back tommorow

The Front Room is a wonderful café where the personal touch of the manager can be felt in every detail from the food to the events to the decor. Full of beautiful plants, books and furniture, the café offers a space for everyone and is an absolute haven from the busy town centre. It's a place to slow down and reset. We hired the Front Room for a private event, and the manager and team went above and beyond to ensure a smooth celebration with no stress on us. We trusted all the details to the manager and unsurprisingly the food was delicious, music and atmosphere excellent and staff extremely friendly and helpful.

Good coffee, good vibes, passionate staff

Attended a special Valentine’s Day event last night: tasty & varied sharing board for 2, lush cocktails, the talented Laura Marie Benson singing, & efficient & friendly staff. Loved the tasteful ♥️ decorations too.

Fab top quality food, drinks, service and Vibe. A true Cafe lounge HW Gem. Highly recommended:)

Nice place but the staff were a little cold and unwelcoming.

Celebrated a friend’s 30th birthday at The Front Room and it was spectacular. The food was sensational, so delicious, and everyone was raving about it. The atmosphere is insanely good, and what a cool place, offering so many different things. The staff couldn’t have done more for us, and all in all we had a brilliant time. Can’t wait to come back and try brunch some day soon!

Best cafe in town for sure. I go here often to spend a few hours working on my laptop. Very comfy and homely, food and coffees is good too which helps.

The best place to go to in High Wycombe (and that is not faint praise) Always come here when I am in the area Great coffee and food and loads of interesting events throughout the year

went with my partner and our friend, had a brie and cranberry toastie, a flat white and slice of banana bread. toastie was delicious, great to see a golden festive combo on a regular menu and lovely that it came with crisps. coffee was tasty, as was the banana bread but it was a little overpriced for the size. really top place though, love the tables and plants and friendly staff too

Hosted the Launch Party of my business here. The cozy atmosphere of the place is amazing. I chose The Front Room as I often work from here. The coffee is always top tier and the vibes are great. WiFi is provided and music isn’t too loud. They’ve really got it right here. The service and communication from Lauren in the upcoming days of the event was amazing. Couldn’t have asked for a better team to support the event. The drinks were amazing and the food was spot on. Their in-house DJ Shaz was amazing and really bought the whole night together. Massive thank you to the team that worked the event. You were all so great.

Hi we drove quite a distance to try the place as it was recommended .we ordered ,cappuccino, apple orange carrot juice, avacado toast, shakshuka and a chocolate cherry cake, the avacado roast was great and so was the coffee. I liked the chocolate cherry cake too though husband thought it was little too sweet. Juice was quite bad, it was like flavoured water and too thin. Shakshuka was okay , did not care for it much . The sauce was not tasty and the sourdough bread was overdone. The ambience is quaint , a little too rustic for our liking with the sofas worn down and the plants withering . It’s a very casual place and mostly frequented by university students.

Currently in the front room with an amazing breakfast, great atmosphere and really cool boutique ambience - will be back for sure!

Absolutely love this place! The coffee is fantastic, the treats yummy and it’s dog friendly. Lauren and her team are brilliant, you’ll love it too!

Awful experience at their Bingo night, won't recommend. We've been coming to this cafe for a while and decided to attend the Bingo night with friends. Food was okay but drinks(alcohol) were unreasonably expensive, not good quality either. I won a £100 on the night, it took over 3 weeks of chasing the owner before I received it. Was told to collect money from the cafe over the weekend, I went but it wasn't there, then she said come in the week, went and it wasn't there. She was then going to do a bank transfer the next day, didn't come through... on and on it went. Such a waste of time and through it all Lauren the owner was awfully rude, and made me feel like she was doing me a favour 🙄 I was told " you can't be annoyed with someone that was giving you a pize" Just like an older review here(where a customer's daughter's drink was spiked at the Halloween event) no empathy for others whatsoever. Would give this experience 0 stars if I could

Had the loveliest of cakes and the tumeric latte was incredible. Friendly young staff team made me feel welcomed and all working very hard.

Love this place Became our regular heaven during lunch breaks at work Hosted a small leaving drinks here - great service, kind staff and all round good vibes

A friend recommended this hidden gem to me recently, and I’m so glad they did. Tucked a little off the beaten path from the town centre, this unique cafe is truly one of a kind—a charming mix of a cafe, garden centre, and bookstore all in one. The atmosphere is quirky and inviting, and the staff are exceptionally friendly. As a vegan, I was thrilled with the variety of options available—finally, a place that serves a fantastic breakfast! I highly recommend trying the Smashed Avocado. I can’t wait to visit again!

Radfield Home Care recently held our Christmas party at The Front Room, and it was an absolute success! From the moment we arrived, the festive atmosphere was incredible – everything was beautifully decorated, creating a warm and welcoming environment that instantly set the tone for the evening. The DJ and karaoke were both highly entertaining, and they truly helped everyone unwind, relax, and enjoy the night. However, the true showstopper of the evening was undoubtedly the food. The festive grazing boards were nothing short of spectacular, and we were blown away by the creativity and attention to detail. It’s clear that your team put a lot of thought and effort into the presentation, making the food not only delicious but also visually stunning. A huge credit to your staff for making the event so memorable – from the entertainment to the food, everything was perfect. Thank you for hosting such a wonderful celebration; it truly was a night to remember!

The Frontroom Café in High Wycombe is a delightful escape, came across it almost accidentally while visiting the area! The charming ambiance, enhanced by lush house plants, creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere caught my eye. I love the peaceful vibe, perfect for unwinding with a good book. The staff is warm, and the food never disappoints. A hidden gem for relaxing and enjoying a coffee!

Absolutely incredible coffee, wide choice of syrups and teas, best pastries in town! Always polite, sweet service. The Brie and Cranberry sourdough is to die for! I don't think I have seen anyone frown in the shop. I've been a coming here for far too long and it's been always an absolute pleasure! ✨ If I could, I would give more stars for sure.

Warm friendly cafe with quirky and cool decor filled with plants . There is a combination of dining tables , comfy sofas and coffee tables and they do a good brew! I went as a solo woman on a Sunday afternoon and worked on my laptop and was welcomed . The cafe turned from a cafe into a bar with a DJ but a mix of working students , friends and single people with books continued into the evening

The best cafe in town. Everything is delicious and the vibe is just perfect 👌

The Front Room is very friendly and welcoming. They are dog friendly and they serve the most delicious milkshakes, juices, cakes and toasties. Plus they have an amazing selection of house plants on sale plus more often than not some other type of seasonal sale or activity going on. It's just fabulous.

I go to The Front Room often and always get a cappuccino because it’s literally the BEST!!! Would highly recommend :)

They make a great cappuccino and the banana cake is very good.

This place just gets better and better. Just had the best brekky I've had anywhere in ages. Faultless. Thank you Claudia! You smashed it (literally...given it was smashed avo - haha!)

Came in early for a coffee and pastry, lovely atmosphere and surroundings, good coffee, tasty fresh pastry. Friendly staff. Would recommend a visit here if you're in High Wycombe

This was our first time at this place. We wanted breakfast and this came up. Food was nice. We both had smashed avocado. There was a remembrance service going on at the church opposite so some nice music too. Coffee and orange juice great. The lad who took our order was polite enough. Though when we first arrived I was unsure where to place the order and stood looking at the menu near the till until I could check with someone. The person clearing up wanted to get by and just stood there without saying a word. When I noticed I apologised and moved. Not a word and just abruptly went past. The owner responded below to another post mentioning the importance of people making purchases in small businesses. Service is such an important factor for me in places. It wasn’t bad service, but wasn’t great either. In hospitality it’s good to make your guest feel welcome and that you are happy they came, not make them feel that they are more of an inconvenience. That said it was only that one incident and the rest of the service was ok. And as I say our server was good.

Have loved this place since it opened and have made an effort to go whenever we can to support them despite it being out of the way. They'd gradually increased what they offer so they could keep doing it well. Food is lovely and some great events and community initiatives. However we were disappointed today to find the whole place closed down for a private function, despite signs out as usual, and no option to grab a coffee or bite to eat and sit outside even. There seemed to be a bit of confusion among staff with some people being served and others being refused depending on which member of staff they asked too. A shame for lots of loyal customers who were turned away unexpectedly today so obviously hadn't been very well communicated, and a bit of a risk to shut the whole place, particularly at the weekend, so loyal customers have to go elsewhere. It's such a good sized venue you'd think it should be possible to have events and also continue to serve the regulars. Would sadly be less likely to make the trip in future now in case we find ourselves in the same situation.

Just had lunch here and WOW The food was amazing and the service couldn’t be any better! It was packed full of people, but no wonder!

Great spot to work from. One of our favourites. Good coffee and snacks (healthy or not). Just make sure you check if they have any events on because they get very busy

Great Vibe Fantastic Service and amazing cake and coffee.

The BEST brunch in town. Went here with my daughter for a cheeky brunch and was not disappointed. They have a very popular menu - something for everyone one, from brownies to croissant and shaksuka to toasties which I was told are made fresh every day. Daughter had a shake and brownie - AMAZING. No photo as daughter finished it quick lol. I had the smashed avo with poached eggs which also comes with mushrooms and spinach on sour dough toast - see pic with an oat vanilla latte (taste better then any franchise like Costa, Pret, Nero). All I can say - the chef cooked this simple dish to perfection and tasted amazing. Best I ever had so far in my life…..The shop is defo Value for money, atmosphere is vibrant but not loud, good chill out music in the background, staff are friendly and polite. The cafe also has games and books to entertain kids and adults. And sells plants and small gifts like book cosy, bracelets, jewellery, etc. This is a little gem of cafe in High Wycombe. Next time I need to try the Brie & chilli jam, caramelised onion toastie - looks amazing and everyone having it, must be popular. Keep up the good food guys and see you again real soon 👍🏽

The Front Room is AMAZING. The food is delicious as well as great value - plus they are very accommodating with food allergies. The coffee is also really good! We’re regulars now.

Excellent food, coffee and service.

This morning I visited here for the first time. We ordered coffee and breakfast and the food was outstanding. It was all freshly prepared and was a reasonable price and great portion size. Lauren was a brilliant chef/waitress and we will definitely come back to try more of the dishes. 10/10!

Nice place to have a coffee. Interesting interior. Some of the drinks are expensive, especially when you can go to the corner shop for next door and buy the drink significantly cheaper. Friendly warm environment however.

A fantastic warm welcome, homely atmosphere and clearly demonstrating a genuine commitment to customers. The coffee was excellent and quite frankly the food was exquisite. Flavoursome, reasonably priced and presented brilliantly. Also dog friendly which is awesome, in fact she got as much attention as we did! This place is a gem and we are definitely going to be repeat customers. Well worth a visit.

From atmosphere to the service, food and definitely the best coffee in town, love every bit of this place, it just have the soul, just what we all need when we go out for relaxation. And a huge thank you to the people that work there, they make the biggest difference with their always positive attitude, being polite and sharing kindness, you are all legends!

Gotta be the best coffee shop in HW. Lots of space and friendly staff. Delicious fresh pressed juice, sandwiches and coffee. Good DJ tunes on a Friday. Good place to work on laptop or hangout and chat. Highly recommend!

Can't explain if u know u know it's like been on holiday or at home in the caribbean, happy vibe good food time disappears best cinnamon swirl the juices the baristas are certified generals .

I love to recommend a good coffee shop, it’s the first thing I look for when I go to a new place. So when I find good one I make sure to post it. And front room is excellent. The staff were so nice. And the coffee was incredible.

Can't fault it. They have good vegan options and are also an eco friendly bunch.

Had a great night at the Front Room doing the life painting event. It was so much fun - cocktails, great tunes from a live DJ (mainly 90s RnB which I love) and the opportunity to get creative! I’m not exactly Picasso but I loved it and will be along to the next one!

I really like the place! I have always been greeted by the friendly staff and a smile. I love the coffee as lattes are just perfect for my taste. I also really enjoy the pastries. Almond croissants and cinnamon swirls are just delicious and always fresh. On tip of it, you can leave with a new green plant or some handmade items, like tablet cases. Great place that I have already visited a few times and I'm sure I will be coming back again soon.

Fantastic cafe! We came here on a sunny Sunday for brunch. Lovely ambiance outside in the sun, staff were friendly and efficient. Food was great (we had the brunch sharing platter - nice coffees, fresh orange juice and a good selection of dishes). We will come again. Thank you.

Truly amazing - worked from here through the morning. Drinks were lovely, food (French Croissant and Salmon on Toast) was perfection and the staff are a delight. Would recommend!

Delicious coffee and vegan cakes

Stumbled across The Front Room Coffee Lounge while visiting High Wycombe and wow, what an amazing find! So happy to have found this place. My wife and I wanted lunch and chose different dishes. Both meals were very generous and tasted amazing. We’d both be happy to come here instead of a fancy restaurant on a date night and will definitely be visiting again. The cafe owner (Lauren) came over to chat with us and she was lovely. All staff friendly and passionate about what they’re doing here in this incredible community space. Thanks guys, superb!

Wow what a find ….The Front Room coffee lounge is fabulous. Dog friendly, lovely atmosphere. Staff very friendly and happy to chat and food amazing.

Great coffee, great cake, friendly staff. I always go here when I'm in town and it's always a great experience. Always recommend it as a meeting point for friends

Great coffee, great avocado and poached eggs on toast. Lovely vibe. Would come again.

Thank you !! We had a lovely relaxing time and delicious food. We found The Front Room on Instagram and loved the vibe of their Instagram feed gives and it was just so in reality too. Never been to High Wycombe. Love the multi cultural atmosphere. The staff are so friendly warm and kind !! We will be back !! Unique place !!

Not anything special. Staff are not very welcoming. Found a space and were thinking about what we wanted to buy and staff were being patronising insinuating we were only there for Wi-Fi (even though we were going to buy eventually). A staff member was also eavesdropping on our conversations and interrupting which I found very rude. The whole situation made my friend and I feel very uncomfortable, we will not be returning or giving our money to overpriced watery coffee either. Staff should be trained on making customers actually feel at ease and should avoid being passive aggressive to make a point. EDIT: Before the café staff would like to allege that we were there for 25 minutes without ordering, we were only there for 5. I did buy a iced coffee for £3.90, as you have claimed that we carried on sitting there. And the policy was only narrated to us once the staff member sat on her laptop decided she wanted to rudely eavesdrop on our conversation. We never spoke rudely, and if it seemed that way its because this particular staff member's passive aggressiveness drove my friend to tears. In future I suggest you do train your staff members, as I have heard the same from others and having your staff simply sit on their laptops making us feel uncomfortable is not customer service. Thank you.

Tasty coffee, even tastier vegan cakes, plants. The trifecta.

Come here multiple times a week, amazing atmosphere and staff and food and everything

We really enjoyed the Easter Egg hunt this morning. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. They could cater for different requests for kids sandwiches and GF for coeliac which was so appreciated. Great food all round. I hadn't been here before, but I definitely will be back :)

Great space with good food. The kids really enjoyed the Easter egg hunt!

Great coffee, best breakfast in town 😋

Beautiful cafe, love all the plants as decor. Good food and coffee. Staff are very friendly

Wonderful place with great food, drinks, team and setting

Lovely place to go for coffee & bite to eat, relaxed atmosphere a very good experience !!

I attended a Clay Earring Workshop here and it did not disappoint! I came here alone but felt welcomed by all and it was a great opportunity to get creative and make some nice earrings. This was the first workshop so there were a couple of hiccups but the host was great and made up for this. I hope to attend another workshop similar to this in the future here! :) I also had a delicious pineapple and ginger fruit juice drink here before the workshop began.

Pleasant atmosphere. Nice place to spend some time. Great music.
