The Pantry in West Berkshire

From the warm welcome, the food and the service. What a wonderful delicious little cafe. You well definitely be seeing us again. Thank you ❤️

Food was very good. A real pleasure. Obviously, space will always be an issue at busy times but they do their best to fit people in.

I’ve fallen in love with the sourdough baps, oh my goodness, such a varied amount to have and lots of lovely cake too.

The most rudest and unacceptable service you could ever possibly think to get ! Shocking 😳 and I was served by the owner/manager My son thought she was racist she said that she couldn’t change my £20 note after I purchased something for £4.49 at 2 o’clock in the afternoon what place would not have change of a £20 note. NEVER WOULD VIST HERE AGAIN

The Pantry is amazing they server drinks within 1-2minutes and the food extremely fast, it also tastes so good

Delicious food and hot chocolate. Lovely service in a really pretty coffee shop.

Disappointing customer service. Won't be returning.

Great breakfast and generous portions. Great tea variety and coffee is good too.

Wonderful spot for coffee & cake! The staff are what makes the pantry so fabulous, it’s like you’re being welcomed into someone’s home. & an all female team - love it! It’s a beautiful location, with a beautiful cottage garden & also an excellent place to work remotely from!

A beautiful coffee shop in a beautiful setting.

Had a great breakfast here this morning. The carrot cake might be the best carrot cake I've ever eaten. It was good enough that I picked up another slice for the road. Coffee was excellent as well

Very cosy and charming specialty coffee shop, quick service and good food. And looks awesome, especially on a dry, sunny day.

Lovely hospitality, delicious food and gorgeous surroundings. Would thoroughly recommend.

Love Coffee Shop in Yattendon with love country feel décor in keeping with the area it's located in. Staff were friendly and very helpful with a very quick service on our visit. Cake choices were abundant and was hard to choose which one I would like as I would have had them all!!😋 Coffee choices were very good and didn't seem to cost the earth. I would definitely visit again if in Yattendon ☕🍰

Very roof staff, kicked us out and refused to serve us (because we were foreigners?)

Visited for first time. Ignored by staff who favoured locals. Process not clear. Felt unwelcome at best. Wouldn’t recommend unless you live in the village.

What an amazing find. We came to visit the Living Rainforest and arrived early. Wanted a bite to eat and found this lovely little cafe. Staff are super friendly and polite. Latte was made perfect. I had the buttermilk pancakes, maple syrup and bacon. The husband had the Full Monty cooked breakfast. Neither disappointed. Would highly recommend and would love to explore the area more and definitely come back.

Decided to drop in on a whim for Breakfast. Lady behind the till wasn't the most welcoming and gave a couple of curt answers to our difficult questions of "whether we could have a table?" and then asking if we needed to order at the counter as a menu was thrust upon us. Decided to order the breakfasts (quite pricey - at £14.50 each) and a couple of drinks (at the counter). Got back to the table and then thought I was over charged so went back to the counter to be told "theres a service charge added and a receipt was handed to me!" Service charge? For ordering my own food and collecting my own drinks from the counter??" Food was very good and tasty ( The full english was very good, however the Avo with Bacon seemed over priced in comparison). Despite the good food, and the questionable tactics of adding money to a bill without advising or asking, we wont be going back purely for the curt (blonde) lady behind the till ( In contrast, the lady that brought the food to us was lovely as was the girl who was making the coffees)

The food is ok but £14.50 for poached eggs (one hard) on one slice of toast with guacamole (not the fresh avo slice I was expecting) and 2 rather dry pieces of bacon. Really ? And I was quoted £2 for an extra slice of toast . Really?. Then they have the nerve to charge you service when you are the one that has to go to the toll to order and to pay. All they do is bring the plates the few steps to the table . Really? All items similarly overpriced. Not very welcoming either.

We went for a lunch according to the website it said the kitchen closed at 2:15 ,we arrived at One minute past 2:00 to be told the kitchen was closed , I questioned this , the lady said well it closed at 2:00 !! Her attitude was dreadful. We were recommended but I am afraid I will not be recommending

Really lovely little cafe. Coffee was super tasty, the cakes were so delicious. It's such a beautiful place to sit, and the staff were so friendly. Really like the little tidbits on offer also, like the different flavours of balsamic vinegar. Definitely will come again

Deli cakes served by friendly staff on Sun afternoon..

First time to The Pantry. Wonderful setting and food great. Will definitely visit again.

I love this place! Great garden! Great staff! And great food! First rate coffee too. We live some 8 miles away, so always managing to pop in, even if just for one of their to-die-for cakes!

Excellent sevice and delightful food very relaxing always so inviting 😊

Lovely little place! We enjoyed an afternoon tea at The Pantry today. Specially happy with the service, which was splendid. There was a little misunderstanding with the booking times, and they still accommodated us at the time we arrived (40 min earlier). Quick, tasty and very friendly. Thank you!

Lovely little coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating. Kitchen closes around 2 pm.

Always get a warm welcome when I visit The Pantry with my friends. Lovely food, friendly service and atmosphere.

Wonderful coffee. Wonderful food

The Pantry is a staple in our life, consistently providing excellent food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. It's our go-to spot for showing visiting friends a slice of Berkshire village life and our comfort place for a pick-me-up slice of cake during tough times. Their flat white is one of the best I've had, and the omelette with extra bacon never disappoints. I highly recommend The Pantry for both its quality and the warmth it brings to every visit.

We love it here! It’s a favourite spot for family brunch or to meet up with friends. The food is delicious and the staff are just brilliant.

Friendly and welcoming staff. Great cakes, always! Would highly recommend trying the bakewell and carrot cake.

Lovely atmosphere, kind staff. My number one choose for coffee.

The perfect stopover! I commute across the M4 frequently, and was forever fed up with the noisy services at Membury and Chieveley. Just 5-8 minutes from Junction 13, I can guarantee it's an infinitely, nicer, quieter and more tasty stopover! The staff are absolutely delightful, (as well as being situated in the beautiful village of Yattendon, if you fancy a walk around), deliciously well made coffee, cakes, sandwiches and cooked breakfasts, and plenty of easy parking. It's also dog friendly, vegan and gluten free friendly, and provides all alternative milks. Highly recommend!!!

Lovely local cafe Food is great Staff really friendly and genuine 👌🏻 It’s always my first choice -

lovely and friendly staff amazing coffee

I shouldn’t give this perfect recommendation in order to enjoy this place again not being too crowded, but they deserve these five stars!

Great service, great staff, great food and amazing coffee

Beautiful cafe, Excellent service and delicious food. I love bringing my little boy and they are super accommodating and friendly. Highly recommend 🥰

Fantastic little cafe, staff are friendly, welcoming. Can make a brilliant coffee and cakes are delicious

Excellent coffee, great food and lovely decor. Very nonchalant lady serving which was sadly very off putting and disappointing as it could have been a lovely regular spot for me

A surprise find on our way to the North. We stopped for coffee and cake in this beautiful Berkshire village of half timbered English houses. The cafe was most welcome with a fine selection of cakes and coffees. Should you wish to purchase some local honey, then this is the place. Other items can be purchased here, for example, candles and have a variety of olive oils infused with different flavours, such as blueberries, blood orange, etc. If you are passing through on a Thursday, then you may see the fishman from Devon who passes through with a wide selection of fish.

Purchased a takeout small flat white with one almond croissant and was charged £8.55. Daylight robbery. Who do they think they are? Shocking.

Never been before Staff friendly Food good Recommended

Good: Food was very tasty. Atmosphere was nice. Bad: Food was silly over priced. Too much unavailable on the menu. If you want the full menu you will need to arrive at the beginning of lunch service. Coffee was poor, bitter tasting. Service charge was added on to our full bill despite taking coffees and dessert out.

Lovely stop over for breakfast all worth the short diversion off the M4 to find it!!

Unplanned stop for lunch while passing through the village. Lovely choice, tasty food, welcoming staff. Great! Well done team.

Lovely little cafe, good cake and coffee

Interesting little cafe in lovely village. Very nice food and good service. Also pet friendly and so it’s fine to take your dog.

Always lovely visiting the pantry. My only comment is the lack of baby changing.

Food was not tasty and it was overpriced however it arrived quite quick

Visited for breakfast on a Friday morning and managed to get a seat in a busy and atmospheric cafe in this delightful village. Lovely coffee and great omelette and pancakes.

Amazing food, great coffee, great atmosphere with local art and trinkets. Dog friendly. Staff very friendly. Sometimes gets randomly busy if the weather is bad meaning less seating as outside is unsuitable. But deserves to be busy every day!

Lovely place for brunch! Delicious and comfy food with cosy atmosphere. Very friendly service. Highly recommend.

Great little breakfast place with a good selection of choice. Tried the chai latte too. Nice and sweet just how I like it. Would certainly go back if I didn't live over an hour away in London 😁. Certainly pop in if you are in the area!

Usual great coffee today with outstanding pancakes and bacon, loved it Excellent bacon and sausage bap and carrot cake from very friendly and accommodating staff

We went for breakfast for my partner’s birthday and with our dog that is a bit afraid sometimes but they made us so comfortable and everyone was so happy and friendly our dog open up and he was so happy to be there! We had 2 breakfast that was delicious and 2 cakes and coffees! What a lovely time chatting and enjoying lovely food! Thank you for such a special time.

No, we were looking for somewhere to have breakfast right off the highway and although this was about 15 minutes away from the main highway it was definitely worth the stop. Our breakfast was delicious and so much love was put into each dish. I had the eggs Benedict and it was delicious and my daughter had the avocado toast and it came with a really good chili jam which wasn’t spicy. Coffee was also spectacular. We didn’t have any of their baked goods, but they looked delicious as well.

We booked The Pantry tearoom for afternoon tea to celebrate my dad's birthday. On arriving at the tearoom the table hadn't been set correctly for the number of guests. The tea itself was rather disappointing, we all felt there wasn't enough food to go round - the portion sizes were limited and the actual sizes of the cakes & scones were tiny. It definitely wasn't worth the £140 that we paid out for sadly. Its a shame.

Visited The Pantry due to wife doing the Compton Marathon. Had the "Full Monty" breakfast and it was absolutely brilliant. Staff are nice and friendly, great atmosphere. You can eat in or out in the front garden area. The Pantry has a selection of wonderful cakes and there are also Gluten-free options. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area, you will not be disappointed.

My sausages were cold but the place was great. The menu was really wide and I wanted to try quite a few things.

. After a lovely bluebell walk, we used Google to find a nearby cafe and happily found The Pantry. What a lovely cafe in a the beautiful village of Yattendon. Service was friendly and the food delicious. We had the pancakes with maple syrup and bacon; sweet potato 'toast' with smashed avocado and a side of smoked salmon. Both tasty and fresh. The coffee was also excellent. The cakes look good too, but we were too full to try. We sat inside, but they also had plenty of o

Excellent food in a lovely location

Very friendly staff and good quality teas and coffee. There is parking round the back and very dog friendly.

Such a brilliant place. We always use it as our treat. Great coffee, cake and food!

I love the pantry and the cakes are always DELICIOUS. However, recently, the prices have gotten ridiculous. I'd be happy paying £7.50 for 2 tasty homemade brownies if they were large like they used to be. But for more of a 'finger' size, it feels like they have just been cut in half and made more expensive. Its understandable for businesses to need to raise prices...but not at the same time as halving all the portion sizes! Please serve decent sizes to reflect the price!

Lovely little place for a tea before or after a walk

Small intimate cafe, very popular. Lovely choice of food and wonderful cakes. Small carpark nearby to use.

Food was ok, coffee was very good, but the most expensive I've bought (and live in London, drinking lots of coffee), the staff were lovely and they are very kind (free treats) to our very welcome dog. Good, welcoming but expensive

Lovely place with equally lovely customer service. Great place to stop for a bite.

I planned part of my cycle ride to visit The Pantry and was not disappointed. Space to eat inside and in the small garden. The coffee was much better than the chains and the cakes were moist, fresh and delicious. Worth the bike ride from London, will definitely visit again. Visited again on a Sunday morning. Quite busy with people eating brunch. I had hot chocolate and excellent carrot cake. Helpful staff. Nowhere to lock my bike, which is a minus for me although I could see it at all times. Please consider a Sheffield stand!

Love this place for coffee and cake in a picturesque village centre. Staff really pleasant

Lovely place to meet for coffee or breakfast which is what we did, fab food and just a great atmosphere. Highly recommend 👌

Beautiful cafe with delicious coffee and cakes. They also sell lovely little gifts and sometimes jewellery.

Food was fantastic. Full breakfast bacon and sausage was great produced.Lovley little village cafe . With great service .. warm and friendly

Wonderful selection of tastey treat, and sausage rolls par excellence!

Small but delightful cafe, with a different menu. More of a breakfast/brunch one. Not for main meals. Great cakes. Good coffee.

Beautiful place with friendly staff. Great decorations for Halloween

This is my favourite place during the weekend to go. Whenever I have friends or family around (usually from Portugal) I always show them this place. The coffee is amazing and the food as well. I usually ask for the spicy avocado toast which is my favourite in the world! Also it is located in a nice cute little village and the inside is so cozy… I keep coming back whenever I can!

Not one for reviews but credit where credit is due. The Pantry is in a small hamlet but you’d think it was on a city high street. Not a seat spare at 9am Best omelette I have eaten. Coffee was hot and strong, not a given these days. Wish I could move this place to Northumberland. Keep up the good work folks😁

Great find in the lovely village of Yattendon. We’d actually come from nearby Reading to got to West Berkshire Brewery for Sunday breakfast but it was closed. So a quick check on trip advisor on the slim chance there may be another place nearby and this came up. It opens at 10 and fortunately we were at the door 5 mins before and it’s just as well as otherwise we wouldn’t have got a seat as it’s very popular Lovely breakfast from a full English to lighter things and pastries and cakes. We will be back!!!

£11.10 for two burnt coffees and a pastry 😿

The best chocolate cake! Service was brilliant and everything came out swiftly! Highly recommend to anyway who fancies great food and cakes! The girls who work there are extremely friendly and make it a lovely environment to be in!

Love it!! The best coffee and sausage rolls!

Great little cafe , highly recommend

Had a cake stop whilst out on a big bike ride... supplied us with a nice cuppa and a decent bit of cake. Not too busy, and the garden is pretty nice too in this quiet village.

Ask for a chai latte and a poppy seed & lemon cake. Individually they are perfect. But together... heavenly.

What a lovely cafe. We sat in in the cottage garden and had a coffee and cake. Highly recommend.

Sweet little cafe with seating outside in gardens, good choice on the menu,

We recently moved to the area and discovered the Pantry - so glad we did! The staff are always friendly, the atmosphere is always welcoming, and the coffee is always amazing! Oh and the food is absolutely fantastic! Highly recommend the grilled halloumi salad!

Coffee and food were good. Prices were a little on the high side. Friendly staff and nice decor.

Great food, great surroundings, friendly staff, great price.

Simply wonderful! The food is absolutely delicious, the service is fast and the staff very kind. Prices were very reasonable. The place is picturesque. We loved it and we will be back.

Lovely coffee, food and people. Beautiful place to stop for a break.

Quintessentially English country village at its best . Fabulous independent coffee and cake shop .

Lovely place, great pancakes with bacon and maple syrup ! Little garden in front to have the breakfast outside. Will definitely come again !!!

We reserved a table for lunch yesterday (following a previous visit for afternoon tea a few months ago). On arrival we requested a table change due to accessibility/height of the reserved table (we had small children and an adult with mobility issues). The staff member who swapped us to a different table made us feel like we were being a nuisance. We didn't feel very welcome. Our food then took over an hour to arrive. The food itself was really nice, but the lack of a warm welcome and the food delay ruined what should have been a lovely lunch.

Thanks to the ladies who served me this morning for my take out coffee. I'd had an anxious & tense morning with my son's hospital appointment & the ladies were incredibly kind & understanding. They offered me a moment to pause & catch my breath. Have visited on many occasions & it's a truly delightful spot, incredibly friendly & wanted to give the cafe a bit if a shout out. Keep up the excellent work not to mention great coffee & good.

Great place to have a quality coffee and cstch up with friends. Amazing cakes and food selection too. Always friendly service Quieter yoday

Beautiful coffee shop in the village! Highly recommend for breakfast.
