The Old Bakers Cottage Coffee Shop and Tea Garden in East Staffordshire

Lovely staff, lovely cakes, lovely atmosphere - nothing else needs saying. Can get busy with cyclists sometimes but always somewhere to sit. Just a delight.

This really is a lovely little coffee shop with friendly and welcoming staff. I had an Americano and a slice of apple pie with pouring cream. Looking around at other tables, all the portions seem to be substantial, offering great value for money. The home made apple pie was possibly the best I have ever tasted.

Really friendly staff in this little place, great to meet Jenny, Karen and see little ollie like to call in when staying at the hilton se you again soon

We stayed one night at this charming venue. Karen was so welcoming, charming and kind and she made us a cup of tea, which we drank in her lovely garden and enjoyed two of her delicious cakes. Both she and Dave were very friendly and very informative.

Stayed in the b&b for a local wedding, Karen and Dave were wonderful hosts even giving us a lift to pick our car up at the nearby venue the following day. The room was lovely with a very comfortable bed, the full English breakfast was superb and we had to go home with a box of home made cakes which were delicious. Would thoroughly recommend.

I stumbled on this little cafe by chance but will be returning. It is in a lovely area for cycling and set in a very quiet little village. I was offered to put my bike around the back as soon as I walked in. The cake was extremely good, the best Victoria sponge I've had and the coffee was nice. There is lots of space. The owner was really nice and I'll definitely be diverting my route to visit again

I used the B&B part of the Old Baker's Cottage when attending a conference at St. George's Park. It was very welcoming and friendly and although I turned up a bit late the owner was more than happy to be the perfect host. The room I was in had recently been refurbished (which I believe the whole B&B rooms had been) and was very comfortable. Breakfast in the morning was a full English and freshly cooked and set me up for the day. Definitely will visit again. (Sorry it's taken me a while to write the review - this is more an indication of my organisation skills rather than the Old Baker's Cottage.

Chanced on this gem today. A lovely welcome and excellent coffee and cake in the comfortable garden area. Even an irresistible puppy to fuss. That would cost a fortune at a Cat Cafe!

I needed somewhere to stay whilst on a short visit to the area , first time alone , second time with grandkids, I was a little apprehensive first visit , as I was alone and in an area I was unfamiliar with , well I have never felt more welcome and at ease , Karen & Dave are two of the most welcoming people I’ve ever met , I immediately felt at home , we have a great chat about the local area , which is stunning , I was shown to my room( the piano room ) , I had the family room , which I subsequently stayed in with my grandsons, it is utterly charming! Comfortable, full of character, comfy beds , en-suite, everything you could possibly need, slept well , and had to be up and out early , If was a beautiful day , and I was able to have coffee and toast outside in the beautiful garden , full breakfast is available, which looked delicious 😋, Dave was even kind enough to drop me off at my local destination! My grandsons absolutely adored the place , they gave it 10 out of five ! 🌟 the family room was absolutely perfect for us , large double , ample single, and a “ put me up “ which we did not need to use , Boys were made to feel so welcome , Like little adults , instead of “ a burden “ like some places , Karen was kind enough to give them both little treat each on arrival too , as the shop has ice cream 🍦, the breakfast room is a beautiful vintage tea shop , bursting with character, just adorable, Would definitely return so would the boys ! Made my long journey so much more bearable! Thanks Karen and Dave !

Popped in on a cycle by and found the cafe to be lovely inside and a nice garden to the rear Welcoming and had a nice cheese and ham toastie and some drinks The owners chatted and were really welcoming Looks like they’ve done a lot to the place in a short time and it does look great

Nice friendly place. Living with an amazing baker means my standards are very high- and the cakes pass with flying colours. We will be back!

Visited a couple of times recently and always impressed. Under New Ownership, Karen and Dave give a lovely, warm welcome and Karen's home baked cakes are a must try!! Will definitely be going back.

Good coffee and delicious cakes in a warm and welcoming setting. The owner, Bev, is a very gracious host and makes everyone feel at home.

My son goes to the school in Newborough so I am in the village daily. Friday is my day off so now and then I pop into the coffee shop and chat to other parents. Anyone passing through the village could do a lot worse with their time than stop off at this place. Bev is very friendly, her service is prompt and her snacks are all home made and delicious 😋. No matter what you try, it will be top quality! Friends have stayed in the B&B part of the business and recommend it highly. I say that if you are in the area, pop in and give it a go. Say Hi to Bev for me......

Stopped here as the location to hoar cross hall was perfect. The cottage was lovely inside rooms were cute and the owners were extremely welcoming and did a banging breakfast. Would recommend to anyone needing accommodation in the area.

Es un Coffee Shop. Mi amigo y yo fuimos a este café. Había poca gente en el lugar. Camarera estaba bien presentada y tarta que teníamos era preciosa.

Nos alojamos aquí por una noche después de asistir a una boda en antigua Railway Guest Cross Hall.

Absolutamente increíble. Encantadoras habitaciones, camas muy cómodas. Bev el propietario, deleite y muy profesional, y muy amable. Su presentación es la hospitalidad. El desayuno es increíble. Nos sentimos muy bienvenidos todo el tiempo. Las tartas son deliciosas. hace Bev El baño es precioso, con un enorme baño independiente o una ducha.

Stayed here for a few nights, was really lovely, staff and owners couldn't be more nice or helpful. Our room was delightful, cleanliness exceptional. A bonus was the pub over the road where the meals were delicious and the locals really welcoming

Nos alojamos aquí la noche de camino a Alton Towers. La habitación era bastante pequeña, pero tenía todo lo necesario para una estancia corta, cómodas camas, TV, té, café, botellas de agua e incluso galletas. Había un pub de enfrente que sirve la cena. Teníamos nuestro propio baño privado en el pasillo, con bañera grande y ducha. Desayuno caliente por la mañana era muy agradable, tenía un montón de cereales y pan tostado. En general, una estancia muy cómoda en un tranquilo pueblo pequeño país.

Nos alojamos aquí mientras visitaba el festival local de cerveza en el perro y la perdiz en Marchington. El B&B; estaba limpio, acogedor, con muy cálidos amables anfitriones, nada era un problema para ellos. Las habitaciones estaban limpias, ordenadas y la decoración era muy acorde con el edificio. Al irnos, visitamos la tienda de café, tenía uno de los mejores en lattes y maravillosa tarta casera (la tarta de coco es especialmente bonito). Lo recomendaría a cualquier persona que se aloje aquí y esperamos volver pronto.

Tropezamos con esta pequeña joya en nuestros viajes. ambiente cálido y acogedor Hay una cafetería con un café excelente y una selección maravillosa de tartas caseras. Nos sentamos en cómodos sofás frente a una chimenea crepitante en la parte delantera de la cafetería mientras que en la parte de atrás hay algunas mesas y sillas. La tienda ofrece regalos para la venta, así como pasteles a la orden. En la misma ubicación también es un B & B. recomendaría un desvío por un café y un pastel.

Irresistible home made cakes and the best latte I can remember having. So friendly and a lovely village location. If you're near, just go.

Nos quedamos en un viaje de negocios locales. He llamado para decir que me iba a ser tarde y cuando llegué ( después de las 9 en la oscuridad ) Bev encontré a mi coche ya que me dieron mis cosas juntos y me ofreció ayuda llevarlo al otro lado. El pub al otro lado de la calle - El Red Lion - paradas que sirve comida después de 9 pero Bev llamó al otro lado para mí y estuvieron de acuerdo en mantener la cocina abierta. Gracias Bev y tengo que decir que la comida era muy buena. Mi cama era cómoda y yo tuvimos un buen dormir. En la mañana mi desayuno estaba listo para mí a las 8 y estaba recién preparado y encantador. Gracias por mirar después de mí, un pequeño lugar encantador. Muy limpio y ordenado.

Me and my wife stayed here for one night whilst being in the region for a wedding in nearby Yoxall and have to say we had a lovely stay here , Bev the owner of coffee shop and bed and breakfast was a very pleasant lady and made us more than welcome here. We had a room with an ensuites shower room and have to say the cottage feel of our bedroom was comfortable and more than adequate for our one night stay, if ever We are in the same vicinity we would definitely stay here again, many thanks for the hospitality , Gordon and Sandra Cutmore, ps breakfast was lovely and adequate for our 175 mile ride home

I was recommended to book here. The price clinched the deal. On arrival it was everything i needed for a short stay. Bev was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. Her n Gav want to make your stay as comfortable & effortless as possible. As busy as they are they still find time to chat & help. The whole building is quaint. Coffee shop/B&B. Best of both worlds. Food was great. My bed was so comfy. A whole range of cakes/buns. Any type of beverage.. even gifts to buy & take home. It didnt even matter that there was no internet service because it made it all the more relaxing. Id definately stay again. Thanks Bev

lovely little tea garden sheltered and sunny spot heaven in the sun :) and beautiful tasting coconut white chocolate and cherry slice plus a warm welcome from the lovely girl behind the counter quickly served with a smile and cheery word and the best pot of tea I have tasted in many a long year of eating out :) we shall be going back even though we found it by accident a lucky day for us:)

we visit many coffee shops on our travels, and pleased to say this is one of the nicest we have had the pleasure of visiting.It is not your Normal coffee shop, as I said in my headline more like entering someone's home.The welcome we got was absolutely first rate with a friendly greeting and an explanation of the menu.We had latte and cake and they where excellent, in fact I would say the latte was the best I've had for a long time, and we drink a lot of lattes!Will certainly be visiting again soon.

Out for a long cycle ride today with a couple of friends and one insists that we have to stop at this little coffee shop. He was right! Cute on the outside, charming and quirky on the inside and a very friendly welcome from the owner. She gave all three of us a taste of the banana cake which was just amazing and served up three perfect coffees. Lovely to visit a place that puts an emphasis on service, quality and value for money.

Stopped at this little village cafe whilst out on the bike and found it to be a fantastic little gem. With coffee & cake that was truly superb and a very warm and heartfelt welcome, we will all be returning as soon as possible!

Having a sweet tooth, I was very keen to try the baked goods on offer during my stay. I am very partial to scones with clotted cream and jam and theirs met and surpassed my expectations - the scone was light, the cream was moreish. Bev's baking upholds the tradition of the eponymous cottage.

We moved into the area over two years ago,and have become regular customers to The Old Bakers Coffee shop. The reason that we keep going back is the warm greeting that we receive from Bev and Gav and the excellent coffee. Our Grand daughter now comes with too and she loves to choose from the wide selection of cakes on offer. There is no other coffee shop that we know of that offers this quality and charm.

Walking into The Old Bakers Coffee Shop is like slipping into yourfavourite old slippers, or setting into your old armchair. The service that Bev and Gav provide is so welcoming that after you have had your beverage and gotten warmed up, you don't want to leave,you want to order again... The drinks menu is extensive enough to cover most tastes. No Starbucks here, but enough to keep a coffee drinker happy. Tea is there for those with a different palette. Indulgence is catered for too with a hot chocolate buried under marshmallows, covered in chocolate powder. The whole experience is completed with comfortable, relaxing leather sofas that seem to hold you and not want to release you. Also tables and chairs for those who want a quicker escape... The kids get to paint butter biscuit bears with edible icing sugar whilst drinking juice as mum and dad get to chill with the paper, use the WiFi, or catch up with friends. I use the coffee shop most Friday mornings after dropping my son at school and can honestly say that I have never had a bad experience in there. Next time you are passing drop in and get a good drink, given with great service, in a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Friends have visited me and used the B&B,and they have all said how good it is. No complaints from any of them, and a couple of them are, let's say, a little picky. Highly recommend this place to everyone.

I live in Newborough village and frequent the coffee shop quite regularly. The cakes are delicious, large variety of coffee and a very friendly atmosphere. In the winter the log burner makes it a very warm and cosy place to meet friends. Would highly recommend people to visit (and try the Mars rice crispy cake which is my favourite )

A hidden gem. Fantastic homely feel to the place made even more wonderful by the lovely owner. Scones freshly baked and always haveva great selection of homemade cakes. My piece of heaven on a friday morning.

Lovely little coffee shop...Very warm welcome and very busy. Great tea, coffee and selection of cakes...Just a little disappointed that we couldn't get a sandwich or snack before our cakes.

If you're expecting a Costa or a Starbucks you are in the wrong place. This little coffee shop has far more elegance, charm and warmth! The cakes are freshly made each day and so vary on each visit, with the exception of the home made scones, which are so delicious I can't pass them up! Today for example their was a mars bar crispy cake and a treacle tart, to name a couple. Bev the owner always goes out of her way to make you feel welcome. My daughter helps herself now to colouring books, pencils and he resident cuddly bird! During the winter, the log burner means that the whole.place becomes so cosy you find yourself sinking into the sofas never wanting to leave! This little coffee shop is a real hidden gem and I love it!

This small cafe/restaurant is situated in the quiet village of Newborough, Burton-On-Trent, Staffordshire. We called in for coffee as a result of seeing the board advert on the main A515. What a wonderful surprise it was as well. A really truly lovely tea room serving all sorts of teas, coffees, snacks of all sorts. It has a lovely outside seating area and also offers a B&B on the premises. A true gem in our wonderful countryside. The lady running the shop was so inviting, kind and helpful. It is obvious that she is well liked by the locals who support her well. I was amazed as she gave me a loyalty card for future use to get a free cup of tea/coffee. Don't miss out on visiting the cafe if you are in the area. Thank you.

After reading all the great reviews I was very disappointed in this cafe. It has the potential but lacks a lot of qualities to warrant a return visit. We had travelled from Burton as a family and were hoping for that warm, cosy coffee shop experience. The initial greeting was disappointing and almost made to feel like we should have known where to sit / what to do regarding service. Their website suggests that younger visitors (children) are well catered for but they do not have a high-chair for toddlers. We decided to sit outside (a nice warm Mothers Day for a change). The garden area looked untidy with items piled up against the gates, not the sort of thing to create a relaxing coffee shop atmosphere. The cake selection was limited and nowhere near the choice listed on their website. This coffee shop might be ok for a quick coffee if you happen to be walking / cycling past but not worth going out of your way for.

I decided to try this little coffee shop after reading all the good reviews. All 3 of us were pleasantly surprised just how nice it was! The coffee shop has a great selection of hot chocolates, coffees, teas and homemade cakes. There was plenty choice for everyone. The lady who served us was very friendly and welcoming. This place is worth a visit, I would recommend!

Right in the centre of the picturesque village of Newborough is the Old Baker's Cottage, a bed and breakfast establishment, with an associated coffee shop. Inside is a range of seating, from comfortable sofas to more formal tables, including outdoor seating too. Not a huge place, so it probably fills quickly at weekends. It primarily sells drinks, hot and cold - cappuccinos, hot chocolates etc., and very tempting looking cakes, including apple pie and traditional cream teas. We both went for the Devil's Chocolate Cake, fantastically moreish, a moist cake, with a generous amount of chocolate cream, lovely. A good cup of coffee too, strong and flavoursome, without being too acrid. I was impressed, nothing complicated, just a comfortable place to take a break and relax.

What a delight to visit this quaint little coffee shop. A lovely atmosphere and so very friendly. The coffee and cakes are delicious. Well done keep up the good work

I visited several times for coffee and cake.Bev makes us very welcome. It's a great place to meet friends have great coffee and sample Bev's home made treats.Both Bev and her husband are fab, will be visiting soon.

What an adorable place. Very welcoming, excellent service and attention to detail. Cannot fault homemade treats and overall experience.

We have just spent a very enjoyable stay at this little b and b which offers pretty quaint and comfortable accommodation. We were greeted by the host, Gav, who showed us where everything is, even where spare milk is kept if we need to top up what we have in the room to make our own drinks! The room was lovely and full of character. Breakfast was in the coffee shop, where we had the whole place to ourselves and could eat a lovely full english breakfast, with toast and cereals before it was open to the public. We never felt rushed to finish, instead we were welcome to sit in the pretty tea rooms garden, to ponder where to visit. Bev was very helpful and we enjoyed the Forrest walk recommended to us, and we also visited the very impressive St George's F.A. Complex just a few miles down the road. The village itself is very pretty and we also had a warm welcome in the pub across the road. This B & B make a nice change from the large immpersonal places where you are just a room number! Nothing seems to be too much trouble and and with a very friendly service, we were even offered the use of Bev, the hostess's iPad as we could not get a signal on our phones! As we had bought our own with us this was not necessary as they also gave us the code to have free wi-fi. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay.

Delicious fresh coffee and irresistible homemade cakes make this coffee shop special. Bev is a super host, always friendly and cheerful. A great addition to our village - many thanks!

Visited a few weeks ago with my mother. Wonderful experience for all ages. Food was impressive. Would definitely re-visit. Also many thanks to the lady behind the counter for accommodating my disabled son.

The coffee is absolutely excellent and the cakes delicious. Bev is so warm and welcoming that we feel part of the family - but get a special treat while we are there so it is much better than home! It is a little treat when I get the chance to go. Bev has helped put this village on the map.

Superb accommodation first class hospitality. Toilet was spacious and food was good. Breakfast was simple and nice. The rooms were well kept and clean. in short like I said it was a home away from home.

We spent a lazy sunny Sunday morning in this superb coffee shop. We sat in the pretty garden and enjoyed cappuccinos and scrummy home made cakes. My daughters favourite drink is a Maltesers Frappe with a Mars Bar Crispy cake and my son has great fun painting his own teddy bear shortbread.Bev and Gav run a very warm and welcoming coffee shop ... Can't wait to call in again!

Warm and welcoming and the scones are the lightest I have ever tasted. Everyone is very friendly and there is a lovely garden area where you can sit and relax. Would highly recommend you pay this coffee shop a visit in a beautiful village.

Absolutely delicious scones, melted in your mouth and nothing too much trouble, warm welcome on a cold Monday morning.

This lovely coffee shop is the perfect place to relax and unwind with a coffee and cake, My favourites are Amaretto and Hazlenut Latte's with either of Bev's homemade Mars bar Crispie cakes or Millionaires shortcake.My boys favourites are Frapes which Bev does in all kinds of flavours.They also have a charming garden area.... A warm welcome is always waiting for you from Bev and Gavin ;)

My family and I went to stay here for a night after a cross country race nearby, and despite the fact we were caked in mud we were welcomed with open arms. The cottage was a beautiful, cosy place to stay and the couple who lived there were extremely friendly and hospitable. The rooms were perfect and our every need was catered for; everything was provided: toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, shower gell, face soap you name it. There was even a basket full of emergency supplies from socks to luxury body cream you could use then pay for later. The cottage is particularly accommodating towards families, if there are more than 4 of you and struggling to find somewhere that fits your criteria then this is the place for you! The breakfast was top-notch, the coffee shop itself was fantastic an there was a lovely lounge area with a HUGE TV and magazines where you could chill out. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and our family would definitely stay there again in the future. I would strongly recommend The Old Bakers Cottage to anyone looking for somewhere to stay near Burton. Thankyou for a lovely stay.

We moved to Newborough at the beginning of January 2013 and we received the warmest of welcomes by Bev and Gav at the Old Bakers Cottage. If you are travelling through the area, it is well worth coming out of your way to visit this homely cafe where the coffee and cakes are so delicious and the ambience provides a warm and relaxing atmosphere with a log burner, newspapers and magazines and wi-fi and information about the local area.

Visited the coffee shop and tea rooms on numerous occasions and can only say its the best one in and around Burton and surrounding areas .the quality of service .food and beverages. are excellent. Always a very warm well come and lovely atmosphere .Well worth a visit

Called in here for coffee and cake, enticed by reports on Trip Advisor. We enjoyed Cream Teas and coffee. Scones were fresh and the cream was real clotted cream. All served with a very pleasant lady and her young son played at being the 'waiter'. The place was very homely and warm with a lovely log burner. A good selection of cakes on display, might attract more customers if she also did sandwiches. This is not a criticism, everything was very nice.

We stumbled across this place merely by accident. You get the warmest welcome by the owners and nothing is too much trouble.The place is lovely, very comfortable and quirky.The cakes are baked fresh on the premises and you can really tell they are homemade - delicious, Certainly didn't do the diet much good.Best coffee i have had for ages and they make it how you like it.In all, couldn't fault it and no doubt we will be back

We stayed here after a night at Hoar Cross Hall and what a find! The owner is so lovely and their dog Jem is a little beauty! Te room was beautiful and the owner waited until we arrived to give us afresh jug of milk! She even put a heater in the room for us as she worried it was too cold!Over the road is the Red Lion pub which was fab! The food and hospitality was second to none and we had a great night!Definitely come back here again, it was a lovely visit! X

Excellent friendly and homely place. Very comfortable. Even arranged breakfast, which was delightful early on the Saturday so we could get to work by 8 am. We would stay here again

This is a lovely coffee shop with a warm, welcoming and homely feel. There is a wide selection of drinks available including 'skinny' and children's options. The homemade cakes are delicious, the 'Mars Bar' cake is a must. Well worth a visit.

My first visit to this lovely coffee shop - what can I say -WOW! From the welcoming warmth of the log burner, lovely decor, cosy sofa's , and a warm welcome from the owners, Beverley and Gavin, I felt at home instantly. There is a very tempting array of home made cakes on offer, and a fantastic selection of coffees. I had a 'skinny' hot chocolate (January diet!!) and it tasted like a 'real' full fat one - so I had another!I took cakes away to take home for my children -Homemeade Mars Chocolate cake - they declared them 'scrummy', and have made me promise to take them to the coffee shop at the first opportunity.A lovely place to relax and chat with family or friends, I will definately return.

Wow, I stayed in the B & B and sampled a variety of coffee's and cakes throughout my stay. What caught my eye the most was the extensive range of flavoured syrups that where available caramel, hazelnut, white chocolate and a festive favourite GINGERBREAD.

I have visited the coffee shop on several occasions now so have been able to sample a number of the delicious homemade cakes and variety of coffees. The coffee shop has a homely atmosphere and I always feel comfortable taking my 3 kids. Being a local dog walker I am looking forward to the spring when I can take my dog in the coffee shop garden and enjoy my favourite cream tea.Definitely worth a drive out if you're in the area.

The residents of Newborough are so fortunate to have this wonderful coffee shop/Tea gardenI make several visits there on my own, with friends, family and meetings. There's always someone interesting there to have a chat to, people go there from all the surrounding villages and from much further afield - they are always impressed. Beverley & Gavin pay so much attention to detail. At the moment the Christmas decorations are a delight. There is a very good selection of drinks and the most delicious cakes. To top everything, Beverley & Gavin are so welcoming, there is such a warmth in this lovely Coffee shop/Tea garden. We are so lucky.
