The Square in Chiltern

We stopped here by chance and we will definitely be returning. This cafe exceeded our expectations, great coffee, excellent breakfast, lovely staff and the place was spotlessly clean with a great atmosphere. The people of Holmer Green are very lucky to have such a fine Estin their village.

Stopped in for a breakfast with daughters. Really impressed service was great food amazing. Was clean and tidy. The girls really enjoyed their food. Will definitely be returning.

A friend & I popped into The Square yesterday afternoon, for a good old catch up natter. I was really impressed when I walked inside. This was my first visit. Welcoming, clean, lovely atmosphere. Plenty of food & drinks to choose from. The coffee was lovely. I had two. I did not eat but there was a couple having a huge English Breakfast and it looked amazing. I have already decided to pop back again to try the food. Plenty of seating ranging from the usual table & chairs, to settees, to even a lovely cosy looking snug. The toilets were very clean, with lovely fragrant hand-wash. The only downside, for me, was that the prices are a bit high. But saying that, the food is freshly prepared, which is always a good thing. The service was great and they offer take away too. I did spot a loyalty card on the counter, but you will need to ask how that works. I actually fell in love with this little haven and can't wait to return. Well done and thank you to the staff at The Square.

Visited with my wife for lunch today, first time since pre-covid. I had the 3 egg omelette with ham & mushrooms, my wife had the jacket potato with tuna & cheese. Lovely food and good vfm, Staff were friendly and welcoming. spotlessly clean. Also purchased some local honey there.Definately be back for coffee or lunch again.

For some reason all the food is still being served in take away bags, with take away coffee cups and disposable cutlery. There is a sign saying due to COVID no table service or table clearing, what is that all about??? When your food is ready the lady comes out to find you, you then collect your carrier bag from the counter and take it to your table to eat. Why on earth doesn’t she just bring it out to you, oh yes because of COVID. For goodness get a grip and offer a proper service using china plates and cups, proper cutlery and serve customers their food and clean the tables. The food was nice but all the nonsense didn’t make it enjoyable.

great place to chill well worth a visit top quality coffee and food staff are really friendly and helpful

Lovely place. So happy that they have remained strong throughout this rubbish. Such a beautiful asset within Holmer Green, morning coffee is 5 star.

Nice decor, good menu selection with very reasonable prices, and the food was very good in terms of both quality and quantity...but trip was sadly overshadowed by unfriendly (at best) and rude (at worst) staff. I wasn't sure how things were working given Covid restrictions, and the first member of staff seemed irritated to have to explain. Once ordered, I was waiting for my food when they called my order out. I wasn't sure if I had heard correctly so I asked the lady to repeat. The staff member was nothing other than rude about having to repeat half a dozen words. I thought I was maybe being sensitive until I returned to my table my friend immediately said, "Oh my goodness, I can't believe she just spoke to you like that". A total shame. Food was lovely but the experience has totally out me off returning.

Friendly attractive and unpretentious trying very hard to provide a local cafe/ deli service with high quality food in very difficult circumstances (CV restrictions observed) and succeeding!

Whether it's brunch, lunch, tea, coffee and cake - this food is utterly delicious! If you're anywhere near lunchtime do yourself a favour and try the salads - they are outstanding! Could happily eat here every day of the week.

I had lunch here today with 2 friends for the first time as it had been recommended to me a couple of times. First impressions from the outside weren't great as all the windows were dripping with condensation from the inside so you couldn't see in however we were very pleasantly surprised when we opened the door. It's a really lovely cafe, nicely decorated with plenty of space. The food was really good, big portions, fresh, tasty and very good value for money, however unfortunately it was pretty cold in the room and the toilets were bitterly cold! Weirdly, the little side room 'The Snug' was lovely and toasty when I walked through it to get to the loo so not sure why the main cafe was so cold but it does explain the condensation all over the windows. A bit of a shame as we would have enjoyed ourselves even more had it been warmer inside.

Visited this little cafe for the first time today and loved it. It was very busy and most of the tables were taken but we were lucky. The staff are efficient and friendly and the food was tasty and good value. I think they've only got a small kitchen so service was a little slow but we weren't in any hurry so we didn't mind. Would recommend this place. Apparently they're open on weekend evenings too - give it a try!

My favourite jacket potato with tuna and cheese. My friends had the pancake stack. Well cooked and presented. Great value.

We visited on Saturday evening after a busy day at work, called to make a booking but advised not needed at the moment. Upon arrival The Square was transformed by subtle lighting and a vibrant atmosphere with happy sociable guests. The food from the menu was excellent, well presented and priced reasonably well. The wine ordered was excellent The only disappointment is was being unable to order a coffee at the end of the evening, not a real issue but as we were sat next to the chalk board with the coffee list on it I was encouraged to have one! Would completely recommend a Friday or Saturday evening at The Square

I decided to go light and had the scrambled eggs on toast. It came on a doorstep slice with an additional slice on the side. Was tasty, but presentation could be improved. My wife had the 3 pancakes with bacon. Too large and thick for her to manage. Coffees were great as usual. Looking forward to going back. I did see some of the full English breakfasts and they looked huge.

Visited on a Saturday lunchtime. Breakfast like a king was massive and well worth the money. The sandwiches were huge doorsteps and filled with beautiful fillings and served with salad. The home made soup was absolutely delicious. A real autumnal treat. Tap water is available in bottles to help yourself to which is a lovely touch. Will definitely visit again.

Best breakfast around, you can have it how it comes or choose to have it your way with a great selection of fresh items. Thick cut bacon and tasty sausages make it a very filling breakfast. No room for the lovely looking cakes.

Popped here last week for breakfast, fast service, and a lovely atmosphere. The staff are friendly and the meals are filling, I was very satisfied. Highly recommend, lots of variety on the menu!

I took a friend for breakfast this morning . We arrived about 10.30. It was very busy but we got a seat. We placed our order which did take a very long time to arrive ( we were told there was a bit of a wait ). When the food arrived it was lovely and worth the wait so check your times if in a rush !!

Came here for a 3 course evening meal with a group of girlfriends.despite being in my local village I have never had so much as a coffee in this cafe! It is turned into a restaurant in the evening I think just at weekends. Was bustling and lively. Quirky and rustic had a nice atmosphere. We had all pre booked our 3 course menu choices I had whitebait to start salmon in a sauce for my main and cheesecake.to finish. The portions were ginormous! I thought £30 a head was expensive but you get plenty of food and very tasty it was. There was also a gin cocktail thrown in as part of the menu which was a nice touch! We had a tucked away table in an annexe room but could still enjoy the ambience of the main dining area. Would definitely eat here again and would highly recommend. Service was excellent too.

Brilliant service lovely food everything cooked fresh, portions are massive even the sandwiches so be warned, but they are happy to bring 2 plates for us to divide the sandwiches a nice little find

Local dog friendly cafe. We visited for breakfast. Good selection. A little on the pricey side but lovely atmosphere. Food top notch and cooked from scratch and staff helpful and friendly!

The Square is a friendly village cafe, with a buzzy and relaxed atmosphere. Good sized portions in our breakfasts and Teapig tea made for a lovely start to our day. They offer a variety of breakfast, lunch, coffee and cake options, including gluten free. Dog friendly, child friendly. Recommended.

Great little village cafe. Food is superb and so are the drinks. Just be warned that it’s so popular that it gets very busy! Cosy atmosphere too

Lovely, huge portions nice staff, clean, great value, always busy (needs more space :) overall highly recomended.

The square is a moderately sized village cafe, serving hot breakfasts all day and hot and cold lunch items. It has a barista coffee machine serving your choice of coffees and tea, with dairy free alternatives available. Eat in and take away available.

Burnt food and then over charged, staff didnt seem bothered when I challenged it....... Food below average burnt and dry

I go to the Square on average once a month. The staff are always attentive and polite. The food excellent with fresh perfectly cooked hot breakfasts. I and my family always feel full up. I need to consider going for an evening meal rather than just breakfast

Attend regularly for breakfast or just a coffee and relax. The breakfasts are absolutely epic, the breakfast for kings is a must, always delightful and pleasant staff, even when dealing with a particular nuisance customer sat near us, everyone must go, if I lived closer I’d be there daily

I frequently visit this hidden gem in Holmer Green which is often buzzing with life. The Square is an absolutely fantastic place to go for breakfast, lunch or even dinner on one of their special evenings. The food here is absolutely superb with a very generous portion size, the staff are wonderful and the atmosphere is fantastic. As soon as you walk in, you can just tell how much thought the owners have put into this business there are so many added extras and quirky ideas, they even have treats for the dog and complimentary essentials in the toilets. The square is a truly vibrant place to be and I cannot recommend it enough, it is so unique in the fact that it has so much more to offer than a coffee shop/cafe. We are so lucky to have such a fantastic place like this in Bucks and they truly deserve five stars all round!

Every time i visit with my dog Bertie I enjoy lovely food in a welcoming environment. It gets very busy at weekends so I always go now midweek.

Met a friend for lunch here recently and was very impressed with the quality of the food and the value for money. Nice surroundings too !

We happened to come across this quaint little instagramable little cafe by chance and were so glad that we did!

I get a take away in my own cup, with almond milk. I look forward to it and I’m not disappointed. Food is very high carb and sugar from what I can see so not been tempted. Friendly service.

Called in for coffee while waiting for car to be sorted at local garage. Lovely atmosphere (obviously popular with the locals). Very good coffee but served by a very unfriendly member of staff. A smile costs nothing!

The food in this fabulous, quirky cafe is second to none. I think

The square is the best breakfast in this area by far ! Until a lady thought it would be ok to bring a DOG into the restaurant!! It’s wrong in so many ways and why you think this is OK is beyond me!!!!!’ Food is cooking

This is a great little cafe with freshly prepared food and baked cakes. When I first visited years ago the cafe was not great, recently they have refurbished and it’s so much better. A mixture of comfy sofas and clusters of tables make it feel informal.

Pushing open the door of The Square, you find yourself in a relaxed and welcoming local cafe with stylish decor including fairy lights, cosy sofas, mismatched tables and chairs and stunning dark blue painted walls. The selection of food and drinks is great and the prices are very reasonable. The service is good, even on the busiest of days and because it is such a nice atmosphere you don’t mind waiting anyway. We will definitely be back.

A M A Z I N G AS ALWAYS , Couldnt recommend it more and the full english is super tasty and good quality produce

We met up here with my two daughters and grandson. They were quite busy but we managed to find a table. Our meals were served quite promptly, but some of the hot meals took a bit longer because the café was quite full. Parking can also be quite difficult as you have to park in the road. The soup was good, and there were also a variety of sandwiches Panini and baguettes on offer. Unfortunately the jacket potatoes had run out. A nice place to go for a quick meal especially if you can avoid the busy times.
