First time here today. What a great café. It was very busy but the staff coped brilliantly and we hardly had to wait. The Goat cheese toastie was very tasty and the carrot cake the best I've tasted.

Turned up today at 1237 looking forward to a toasted sourdough sandwich and drinks. As soo as we entered we noticed the menu boards were blank. So you have no sandwiches we asked. No, we sold out yesterday came back the reply! What sort of business is this and how many other customers turned on their heels and left! This is the third ( and definitely the last ) time we have arrived at this venue for lunch only to be told that they had no sandwiches only cakes. Your loss was Coopers at Marlow’s gain !

Of course, Velolife Warren Row is well known as a favourite stop-off for cyclists. But it is much more than just an attractive cafe as I found out this afternoon. My bike had a puncture and though I pride myself in speedy roadside repairs, this puncture was ackward. It took over an hour to get back on the road, but within a few miles the tyre was flat once again. Fortunately, I was able to limp into Warren Row for a much needed coffee. But my heart sank when I was told, there was no stock of my unusual size of inner tube. However, my luck changed : a second-hand one was found - what a relief ! And it gets better - in the time it took for me to have a second coffee, the workshop had fitted the replacement ! So it's not just delicious cakes that Velolife is good for !

On my own, on the bike and halfway through a 60 mil ride to Henley and back. Good coffees and a great toastie await visitors. Don’t forget to eat the dish of pickled vegetables - an inspired addition.

hyped up for what? no atmosphere, by 11am they had run out of everything, no food, nothing. people raved about this place but all I saw was a shower. open for 2 hours and they have no food, total amateurs. coffee was average. I won't go back, run by cowboys, we came from Surrey as it had been hyped up. Even an idiot would send people out to buy all Tesco's croissants, clearly there aren't even idiots there. Avoid.

This venue has the most tastiest sourdough toasties! The only issue is that you cannot guarantee they will have sufficient if you turn up here. We visited on Tuesday arriving at 1230 and ordered 2 x ham and cheese toasties; there was no other choice. The next customers to arrive wanted to order the same but were advised that there was only one left by the younger of the two female staff members. As a result the two cyclists ordered 1 x ham/cheese toastie and one portion of sourdough with jam ( the only other choice on the menu). Minutes later another cyclist tried to order a toastie ; this time the older of the two staff stepped in and said that if the customer was prepared to wait the sandwiches were expected shortly ( clearly they are prepared off site ). Imagine the faces of the previous customers on hearing this moments having placed their order! This is the second time we have visited here bang on lunchtime to be informed that sandwiches were either in short supply or not available. As a business you need to be better prepared and ensure that your staff are consistent in the the service/information delivered.

This is a fantastic coffee shop and bike center. The coffee is amazing and the carrot cake is outstanding!! Staff are all really friendly. Whether you are a cyclist or not, give it a try. Prices are good as well and although I haven't tried them myself, the toasties look incredible! UPDATE I have now tried the toasties and they are as tasty and incredible as they look!! Coffee counter has had a refurbishment and is looking fresh. Staff are all as awesome as they have been!!

I accidentally came across this place during one of my random adventures walking around the area exploring. It's a small coffee shop for cyclists however has a good sized car park, searing internally and externally. Beautiful inside with a lovely atmosphere when busy with passing cyclists, also has an in-house bicycle repair station. Great coffee!! And very nice range of snacks and cakes, really well built, run and managed. Coming back here when I decide to take another walk in this direction. Lovely staff!

Great advice. Brought my Cannondale Superx with what I thought was a faulty bottom bracket and turned out to be just worn off pedals. Wasn't hardly charged for the diagnosis. I was advised to change, in a couple of months, chain and cassette but didn't feel forced at all. I was looking for a trusted and realiable workshop for my bikes and I have definately found it. Just need to try cakes as they look amazing! They don't charge an arm and leg and they offer great service!

We visited for lunch with kids as we were taking a woodland walk nearby. Outside seating was spacious, covid safe but still had a great atmosphere.. good parking for free and clean toilets. All covid precautions were met by staff and visitors. Food was amazing and they changed the kid order to suit a fussy 4 year old. Price was good for quality .. foodies will appreciate the rustic bread, quality meat and overall presentation. Cakes were really good quality .. we had the chocolate cake and lemon cake and a chocolate and banana cupcake.. all great. Coffee was fantastic. All biodegradable cups, wooden cutlery and cardboard trays. Really enjoyed with the family and the woodland walk was beautiful

For such a trendy place the vegan options were lacking, there was no vegan cake or muffins or anything. None of their toasties were vegan, it isn't hard to replace cheese with vegan cheese and make things vegan. Overall I am very disappointed. I really wanted to like this place as the outdoor seating was nice but the lack of vegan options meant I couldn't fully enjoy it.

As we walked into Elaine's, we were not greeted by the staff or even our entrance acknowledged. There's no table service despite 3 staff behind the counter chatting amongst themselves, you have to take a menu and then go to the counter to order. As a table of 3, we all ordered our food, which arrived at the table all at different times, usually 1 item at a time. £75 for 3 breakfasts, 2 coffees and 2 juices is pretty extortionate for the level of service, even for sunningdale. The quality of the food was pretty average too.
