Treacles Tea Rooms in South Oxfordshire

Stopped here for breakfast this morning, good selection on the menu. Decided on a full English which was amazing. Great food, service, atmosphere and well worth the price. Will visit again when I am in the area.

The food at Treacles is always fantastic. I go there regularly and every time it's as good as the last - they are reliably excellent. Best coffee shop in Thame for food, by far. The staff are always very friendly and the service is quick. Can't ask for more.

Good coffee and a nice selection of cakes. Portions are a little small. Haven’t tried any cooked food myself but it looks good.

So grateful we tried this amazing tea room. The staff were absolutely lovely, friendly and ever so helpful. Table was spotless. Choice on the menu was wide and varied. We decided on the afternoon tea for three. Good old Yorkshire tea for starters then an amazing selection of finger sandwiches. Chicken, cheese, tuna and my favourite Hummus with salad. Wow. Scone ,jam and clotted cream. And the lovely selection of cakes. Definitely the top place for a afternoon tea. Will be back. Thank you.

Having family nearby, I go through Thame two or three times a year and Treacles is my go to for breakfast/early lunch. Why? Because I prefer independents to the chain coffee shops and because the food (and coffee) is great. Last visit I had the Breakfast Bap with Cumberland sausage. Fat, juicy and tasy sausage in fresh bread - who wants more? My wife had the Chicken, bacon and mayo toastie and was very happy. Add to that friendly, smiling staff and you have a good, fairly priced experience.

Second time going here - both times given a menu then never seen a staff member again! Totally ignored AGAIN Won’t go back. Staff just faffing about rather than serving

Really enjoyed my visit here! The staff that had served me were wonderful. A kind, warm, welcoming atmosphere. The food was well presented, tasted fantastic and not massively expensive! I didn’t know what to choose from too! I’d looked up and down the street a few times looking for somewhere to eat that was more tasteful for this hot weather and I’m so glad it was here! Couldn’t be happier 💛 Thank you!

We have been to Treacles many times but have decided to call it a day. Staff are overstretched and are failing to have any plan for managing the upstairs part of the cafe.Service is rubbish now and there is no pleasure in being their whatsoever. Colin Elliott.Thame

We visited yesterday and ordered two breakfasts. One full English and one vegan! However, the vegan breakfast was a personal choice as my wife prefers meat free sausages (she isn’t a vegan) therefore she added a fried egg! The service was friendly as always and the food was spot on! Best brekki we’ve had in a long time!

With three coeliacs and a wheelchair user in our group I stopped off to ask before we met the rest of the family for lunch and they assured me they provided gluten free food as well as having a ramp to allow access for the wheelchair user in our party. Very kindly they reserved a table for us and half an hour later we returned and had a very nice lunch. Although they had bread, there was no gluten free pasta on offer, so that would be the one thing I would suggest they have to go with the very nice bolognaise I had on a baked potato, but everyone enjoyed their meals and it was nice to be able to have a choice of cakes - four on offer that day. Great to have an accessible toilet with good grabrails as well. We will definitely be back!

Stopped for a cold drink as I had been driving for a while and wow what a super friendly place with a good selection on offer.

Lovely breakfast The coffee is just the best I’ve ever tasted Very friendly staff Food always very tasty and fresh

Whilst visiting through Thame stopped at Treacle’s Tea Room as had an inviting look. Full English with extras was ordered, was hot and pleasant. Personally I felt the price was on the higher side at £12 for what I got. I do however feel it was a simple and tasty breakfast. Service was super attentive and pleasant with a smile. I will hopefully be back soon

Friendly service. Good food. Reasonable prices. Space upstairs. Clean. 5*. Well done - would recommend and will return

Looks much the same as other tearooms, but we had a lovely strong coffee here, which made it stand out for me.

Everytime time i go to thame this is my first port of call. So friendly and the food is yummy lots to choice from.

We go to treacle’s every Saturday for breakfast we love the place it’s so cosy with the log burner and the staff are all so very friendly . The food is always excellent and they make the best coffee ever I love the way it’s decorated and how homely it is you can just sit and enjoy the atmosphere Don’t ever change

I can't praise this place enough for its quality of food and friendly staff. Absolutely nothing to complain about whatsoever and the quality of food is way on par with some great restaurants. This is a cafe that truly cares about the quality of produce...

My husband and I had Shepherds pie with vegetables for lunch today. The size of the meal was very small for the price. Although it was tasty, there simply wasn't enough food on the plate. For £11.00 there was no more than a couple,of tablespoons...

Afternoon tea today at Treacle’s for daughters 19th birthday with granddaughter and family friends , as she’s become a recent fan of scones. Booked the afternoon tea a few days ago as wanted to make sure we got a table and I know it’s very...

Love this place. They do delicious breakfasty food or a tasty toastie! Sometimes you have to wait a bit longer than you’d like but I don’t mind. Very friendly staff and yummy coffee!

Very friendly and helpful staff, good coffee and simply excellent carrot cake. A great effort has been made to ensure appropriate social distancing.

Really lovely friendly people, so welcoming. However under resourced and hence service is somewhat slow. Very good value for money. However genuinely almost too much food on the plate. I had the classic burger and it was just far far far too big. Hubby had...

We visited today for a full English. I can honestly say Treacles do the best full English breakfast in Thame. We also tried their milkshakes which were equally as good. The staff are friendly and they have good covid measures in place by way of...

We spent a post-lockdown break in this area and called into Treacles two or three times for coffee/lunch. It was one of the hottest weeks of the year and we appreciated the tables outside. All was fully Covid-compliant, and we were served promptly. The food...

Food was great and well priced! The staff were really friendly, and the food came quickly! Would highly recommend coming here if in Thame or nearby!

Got dinner from Treacles Tea Rooms for the family, got chicken wrap with garlic mayo 👌 and corn on the cob! Also 1/2chicken with vegetables. All looked and smelt amazing. Well packaged and no need for plates as the take away boxes double up as...

At least it was open, so I could get that long awaited coffee. Sorry to say it was probably the worst I ever had. A cappuccino which was volcanic hot with about 1mm of foam on the top of what looked like a large Americano....

I couldn’t quite believe the cheerfulness levels of the staff at Treacle’s! The management must be doing something right to engender such a happy buzz from their staff. ...the food was pretty good too!

Great place for breakfast, lunch and even just for a coffee and a chat. Lovely staff and comforting food! Great breakfast, and tasty home made soups at lunchtime

We dropped in this morning as a group of three, We were the first customers through the door. The man service was friendly and attentive. We ordered three full english breakfasts with everything on. The food was perfectly cooked! Their sausages and black pudding are...

We were delighted to find that dogs were allowed in the is cafe. Also there is plenty of space around the tables so no worries about the dog being in the way of people walking past. The decor is a little disjointed and there is...

It provided us with the quick lunch we needed, but basically it was ordinary - I can't even remember what I had a week later, but I do remember that I left some of the salad because it was really boring and not dressed - straight out of the packet. My husband's oxtail soup was OK but a bit watery.

A lovely place for lunch for the family. Everything fresh and delicious. Plenty of seating space and service prompt and friendly. Highly recommended.

Stopped for lunch after a stressful morning, was pleasantly surprised with the food choice and the young lady who took my order picked up on my stress and once we’d ordered came out to me with a bar of chocolate.... THANK YOU... I wish I’d taken her name, food good and no rushing us out once finished, I will return for cake, less stressed next time.

I had a lovely time here. The staff and very warm and friendly, and the seats by the window are brilliant for people watching! If I had any comment, the prices are a tad expensive for what it is, but I had such a nice time I didn’t mind paying that extra. Highly recommend the scones.

Had a lovely elevenses/breakfast at this establishment. Nice staff, great food - particularly the Eggs Benedict.

This is an excellent cafe. I like that all of the ingredients they're cooking with come from locally sourced providers (the sausages in my breakfast are outstanding!). The coffee is good too, very comfortable surroundings (vs the local Costa which is awful). I'm a fan and have become a regular since we moved here. Support your local business!

I visited here a few days ago with some friends, we all had thick creamy milkshakes and Italian panini's. There was a variety of flavours of milkshakes, including Oreo, Mars, Flake and even vegan vanilla, the perfect treat for the hot weather! The panini's were delightful, presented nicely and reasonably priced. Staff were welcoming and friendly, I would defiantly recommend this place.

Well where do I begin, having recently moved to the area I was intrigued by the local businesses. From the moment I stepped foot into treacles I was made to feel incredibly welcome by all members of staff. We went for brunch my partner went for a poached egg with avocado and bacon, she mentioned that it might be the best she had ever had and I went for a full english breakfast with extra bacon and a pot of tea, The meal was of excellent value made with fresh ingredients and we both could tell a lot of pride went into making it. I could not recommend this establishment highly enough. Overall the cleanliness was fantastic, the staff were very friendly and the food was great and I can easily see why it gets busy during the weekends. I can not wait to visit again very soon!

Visited on a weekday afternoon for lunch. There’s seating outside, inside with an upstairs. Lots of people smoking outside.

Never been to this town before, lovely tea room friendly staff. Lunch with a cuppa, plenty of choice and all home cooked.

As my wife and I were going on the Midsomer Murders tour we asked people at the Museum for a good cafe for lunch - so they recommended Treacles Tea Rooms -we didn't find anything particularly special here - the food is OK but not exceptional and we found it expensive - £25.10 for 2 teas 2xsandwiches and 2 pieces of cake. We have had much better elsewhere for less money.

Popped in for breakfast, good coffee, full English breakfast was well cooked and nicely presented, hubby was a bit bemused that his eggs benedict came with bacon rather than ham but was tasty nonetheless. Overall a good experience.

Popped in here for afternoon tea. The tea, sandwiches, cakes and scones were good and we enjoyed them. However the place looked as though it needed a really good clean. Table and chair legs, and skirting boards really dirty. Crumbs down the cracks in the wooden tables and the white crockery and cutlery just looked grubby. Perhaps their dishwasher had broken and someone wasn't doing a very good job by hand. However they were given a 5* food hygiene rating in January of this year so hopefully it's just a blip on the cleaning front.

Wij gingen snel met kinderen wat eten. Zeer goed te doen, personeel zeer vriendelijk. Leuke boeken die kinderen kunnen gebruiken tijdens het eten.

We had a lovely full English breakfast served by friendly, very helpful staff. All the food was hot and well cooked, and the choice of tea was also good. We will definitely be using this establishment again, good relaxing and very conveniently situated.

Second time visiting this cafe. Menu is just as you need for all day eating breakfast lunch afternoon tea. Had English breakfast, everything there and cooked well. Excellent service and good value for money. Will visit again when in area.

So nice to actually find a dog friendly cafe . Food is really good too. staff very welcoming & friendly. Had lovely meals there.

I met a friend for coffee and we decided to go to Treacles as we hadnt been in for a while. Service was good but the place was very busy. They have a good range of drinks and food on the menu and we went upstairs as it was quieter. As the morning went on it did get much busier and noisier upstairs, so not the best place for a quiet chat, but otherwise okay.

Stopping on the way back from Oxford we wanted a light lunch and went into Thame coming across this delightful old-fashioned tea room. Finding a selection of Freshly made sandwiches & baps. I had a lovely Panini and my wife had one of the specials.

We cycled out to Thame on a chilly November day and this made a great stop for brunch. Lots of good looking food - we had the mexican toastie (plenty of chicken and not too spicy) and the breakfast bap (reported very good by SO). Will be doing this cycle route again to check out the other menu options!

Had a fabulous cooked breakfast at Treacles in Thame. Everything was beautifully cooked and presented. Staff were friendly and professional. Look forward to visiting again soon.

We visited for a quick coffee with friends on a Sunday afternoon.

Visited Treacle’s for the first time yesterday lunch time as a group of three for brunch. We ordered three bigger breakfasts. The breakfasts were perfectly cooked, came out quickly and with nice friendly service. I like the modern touch of table service using iPads. Your filter coffee is perfect too!

Had a really good breakfast here recently. It was very busy at the time, therefore service was a little slow. Had to sit outside due to the cafe being full downstairs and the upstairs being closed for a private function. Nevertheless, it was most enjoyable. Delicious sausages too. I'll return.

I stopped at Treacles Tea Rooms for a quick Monday lunch.

Brilliant little place for a quick breakfast and a nice Chai Latte. The coffee my wife had was also very good.

Popped in for a quick cup of tea when passing. Lovely cakes & pastries on offer along with sandwiches and hot food. Very family suitable nothing flash but good value fo money.

my wife and I went to Treacles this Sunday afternoon at about 3.45pm. Although they did not close until 4.30, they had already run out of scones. In the event, the frangipane tart and the Earl Grey tea we had were fine. However, they were badly let down by the poor service. None of the three waitresses on duty showed the slightest interest in our custom. we will not go back

Went to Thane for the first time. Beautiful old town with superb old buildings to admire. Found this tea room open at 8am and was so pleased with food and friendliness, went back for lunch.highly recommended if you want quaint with quality.

Lovely surroundings and the upstairs is ideal for a quiet bite to eat. Waitress service throughout which is a pleasant change.

My partner and I eat here quite often, the fry up is good! But more importantly they actually open at 8 which is breakfast time for me. The bacon is really delicious. Yummy.

Had a lovely lunch yesterday food very good and staff very helpful we will be back soon I would recommend

Have been many times, and the food on the whole is good, but breakfast service is just too slow, coffee either finished or cold when food arrives, appreciate fresh food bu half an hour is too long, and this wasn’t a one off

This is such a lovely little place, the staff are very friendly and helpful, the cake is far too yummy.... not sure it’s right to complain that the slices were too big, but we still managed to eat them.

During a recent stay on the Buckinghamshire/Oxfordshire border, we ate here on two occasions, once upon arrival in the town, and then we returned for a more substantial snack meal on Sunday lunchtime. On both occasions the food was tasty, hot and served without undue delay; we did not feel that it was overpriced, either. However, on the latter occasion a considerable amount of coffee had been slopped into my saucer, and no move was made to deal with this. On both visits, we needed to ask for salad dressing. This was readily supplied, but I was puzzled that none was initially offered - do people really prefer their salad completely dry? The staff were attentive and treated us courteously. A final comment would be that although shabby chic is a recognised "look", there is sometimes a fine line between that and tattiness, and maybe some of the furniture, particularly downstairs, will need replacing before too long.

Another secret I really don’t want to give away but ....... what gem in a town full of gems. Breakfast is a must. It may be a long wait but boy is it worth it. Milkshakes to die for as well.

I popped in today for an early coffee and brunch, having had reasonable experiences here before over the years, albeit the service has been a bit hit and miss in the past.

As a vegan I often go to establisments that I end up not being able to eat anything at, but not yesterday! The staff were amazing, they ensured there were a few vegan options I could choose from, in the end I had a jacket potato with a lovely curry and delicious soya coffee. Staff checked back multiple times and were very friendly. I would definitely recommend going!

Very friendly staff. Great value for money Dog friendly Outdoor seating as well as plenty of room inside on two...

We visited Thame last Sunday and stopped in at this nice little tea room. We ordered tea and delicious coffee...

We often go here as the crispy duck salad is delicious and the tea here is lovely. Only bit of...

Stayed at Travelodge with no breakfast option. Breakfasst here was hot, tasty, lots of choice and value for money

We booked a space upstairs at Treacles for a mixed group get together - 9 adults, 3 kids and a baby for a SundayBrunch/Lunch and had a very pleasant relaxed time with good freshly cooked food (the breakfast is excellent) and friendly service. Recommended as a nice informal place to eat in the centre of Thame. Good value too, and easy booking process - sent an email from the website and had a call back the next day. Comprehensive menu on the website too so you know what to expect.

A lovely tea room with a family atmosphere. We had scones with cream and jam which were lovely with a generous helping of cream. The tea was teapigs everyday brew and again was served in a good sized pot with nice cups and saucers. Very nice and will come again.

We always try to support independent tea rooms and are usually not disappointed. Sadly today we should have gone to Costa a few doors down. I was slightly surprised at the prices - £6+ for a 'mature cheddar and pickle sandwich' , I had certainly not expected the sliced supermarket bread and tasteless value grated cheese that we were presented with. The standard of staff hygiene was also doubtful, several of the girls had long hair which was not tied back and one member of staff was clearly feeling warm as they wiped their face and hair with paper towels behind the counter. I wish I could make one positive comment but I simply can't.

I have used this place a few times, it's a lovely little independent coffee/tea room and I would use it over the alternatives in Thame any day!

Stopped in for a quick coffee and bacon sandwich.Really friendly, great quality, value and simply the best bacon. Will definitely return to try some more of the menu!

Local coffee shop with seats inside and a few on the high street. Good coffees and service. The food looked good, slightly on the pricey side, but well presented. Cakes are very tasty.

A really nice meal on May Day bank holiday. The service was quick and the waitress was really pleasant and chatty,we asked a few questions which she was very knowledgeable with the answers

This simply a great place for a cuppa and a cake or breakfast or something a little more substantial. A busy, happy team will take your order and have your choice to your table without a wait. I have been here on a number of occasions and it is constantly good.An excellent stop off from shopping or a rendezvous with friends

a great place for every hour of the day! Breakfast with my daughter, lunch / afternoon tea with my wife ! Good range of cakes (including gluten free), daily lunch specials, attentive service and above all, a great location, right on the high street! Our favourite place in town!

We popped in for a quick lunch. The food was good and the service was excellent not much else to say. All good

My hubby and I were visiting Thame for the day and after a while in the car, we needed a cup of tea. Treacles looked nice so we went in. It was full downstairs but there's seating upstairs too. Nice sofas or table and chairs. A lot of tables were reserved but we found a sofa to sit on. The menu looked good but as we just wanted a cup of tea I ordered an earl grey and an everyday tea.They had a 'Teapig' menu. Speciality teas. So we were looking forward to a decent cup.Unfortunately the Teapig bags didn't impress us. Very weak with a strange taste. It's hard to get a decent cup of Earl Grey but we did expect more from these specialists tea bags.The place was nice but the tea let it down!

A fantastic afternoon tea and great service in lovely surroundings. We could not fault the quantity and quality of the food will definitely be back for more

Cozy, friendly environment...Attentive service..Scones were delicious with more than enough cream and jam..I have been back...

Very nice food and a comfortable location. The only thing stopping us from rating this as excellent was the fact that the pictures of the food on the voucher site were nothing like the food we actually received. I did bring this to the attention of the manager who has not come back to me to explain the discrepancy. That said the food we received was of a high standard and very enjoyable.

Was in Thame today and was served by a lovely girl Aimee. Rushed off her feet as usual but always greets with a smile and is always happy to help in anyway. I am a regular at Treacles and her service always keeps me coming back lovely place and definitely recommended

Two friends and I had lunch today at Treacles in Thame. From the minute you step into the tea rooms the staff are so welcoming. They greet you with a beaming smile and ask how they can help. My friends and I had a lovely afternoon there. No one bothered us but when we wanted more tea and food the staff were straight there. Particularly Amy she was an absolute joy.We had a lovely table upstairs that looked out over the picturesque town of Thame.The food was excellent and as we left we booked to meet up there again at our next get together.Can thoroughly recommend this little haven in Thame PLUS the prices are extremely reasonable.

A perfect cream tea like no other, Treacles is getting it right as it seemed everyone was visiting to order one...plentiful dainty sandwiches (crust less) massive scones with oodles of cream and jam I could just go on !!If you do one thing in Oxfordshire this summer then visit and grab a seat here for afternoon tea...

When we visited it ( booked in advance ) it was reasonably busy. We sat down and were greeted by Louise ( always a smile on her face whenever we saw her ). We were taken upstairs and were served by Rebekah, she was rushed off her feet but she took it all in her stride.We were asked as to what types of sandwiches ( including choice of bread ) and drinks we wanted.The afternoon tea was wonderful, light and refreshing.We would recommend Treacles Tea Rooms, the only problem is parking.

Very friendly staff , food lovely ,but cups ,glass ,milk jug & teapot were really dirty & we had to ask for them to be changed ,would Hv been nice to Hv more traditional plates cups eat rather heavy white crockery,but like I said food was lovely

Great service, lovely cakes, fab coffee, great place for lunch, we visit at least 3 times al week never disappointed with the food, good varied menu, this cafe welcomes chikdren and dogs.

We booked an AfternoonTea using a Groupon voucher.for today.We were greeted by friendly staff and shown upstairs to our table. We were seated on two comfy sofasin a very nice room..The sandwiches were freshly prepared for us and overall the Afternoon Tea was excellent.. The restaurant had a very welcoming feel to it and seeing the lunches that were being served we have decided to visit another time and try another meal.As previously mentioned on Trip Advisor the scones and cakes were delicious. Well done Treacles!. Afternoon Tea comes in many guises and yours takes some beating for value for money and taste..

Dropped in for a coffee and teacake. Looked great from outside but seemed disorganised. Teacake and coffee expensive with teacake was bland and dry.

I have had quite a few afternoon tea's & this was my favourite. Thame is a very nice place to go to. The tea room was friendly and also welcome my 2 year old grandson who joined us for our afternoon tea. The sandwiches were fresh also gave a couple extra for our little man. scones were light and still warm, with a great selection of cakes to top it all off. Will definitely be back for more x

I visited Treacles Tea Room with my sister, mother and mother in law for afternoon tea and would thoroughly recommend it. We sat upstairs which is decorated to look like a dining room in a large house. It was clean and comfortable, the staff were really lovely - they seemed genuinely interested in ensuring their customer's enjoyment. The tea was nicely presented and the cakes and scones were home made and delicious. If you are visiting the lovely little town of Thame this is surely worth a visit!

First ever visit. Friendly staff, all smiley. Food plentiful and place clean. Made no fuss when I managed to make a mess. Toilets clean. Most enjoyable.

Bought a Groupon voucher for ourselves and friends and had a lovely visit to Thame where we enjoyed our afternoon tea. The sandwiches were good and there scones were excellent. A most enjoyable visit.
