Wotton Coffee Shop in Stroud

April 2024 Good coffee. Home baked cakes Friendly service Garden in the summer Best cafe in Wotton-under-Edge

Fabulous old fashion coffee shop 👌. Friendly helpful staff and delicious food 😋

Food is lovely for lunch and cakes and coffee just catch up with friends

Always a warm,friendly welcome. Large outdoor area, weather permitting, room for pets to run at back.

Lovely walled garden at rear to enjoy lovely coffee..very accommodating for me to eat my own GF bar as they had no GF cake.

Beautiful little cafe with amazing food and really friendly staff, service was on point! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some amazing food, great tea and coffee! Didn’t try the cream teas but I really wish I did as they looked incredible! Will definitely be coming back very soon!

Stopped by for afternoon tea, cosy cafe, nice garden, the scones was delicious and freshly made.

Lovely coffee and garden, and less expensive than major chains. Good selection of cakes. Acommadating staff.

I love going to the wotton coffee shop and they always do really good food I recommend to anyone that wants to go to a cafe then the wotton coffee shop is the place to go Danny and Carol are lovely I don't think that I would go anywhere else

I have never written a negative review on TripAdvisor before - I believe small businesses should be supported and the odd bit of bad customer service should be forgiven. However, the treatment we received in this shop was so bad that I cannot let it pass without a review. We’d spent the day walking and were looking for a cup of tea and a slice of cake. It was around 4pm and various other places on the High Street were shutting up. We walked into this cafe and asked whether they were shutting soon or whether we could sit down (there were no opening/closing times advertised anywhere in or outside the cafe).. The man behind the counter (who I assume is the owner - mid 50s, Irish accent) asked “what do you mean?” in an aggressive tone, and I said that we saw that other places were shutting and didn’t want to impose if they were shutting too. He kept asking “what do you mean?” and similar things, I was so confused and stunned that I didn’t know what to say. Quickly, the young waitress (who seemed lovely, and clearly used to his attitude as she seemed to know to intervene quickly) intervened to take our order. We sat down, and the owner then came over to us and continued to berate us because I was finishing a small pasty I’d bought next door. I apologised and said I thought the cafe didn’t do savoury food, but only hot drinks and cakes (which we were excited to order). He didn’t accept this, and continued to berate us, and I got the impression that he was determined to have it out with us regardless. It was so uncomfortable that we simply had to walk out - something I have never done in a cafe before. Looking back, the man had decided to take a hostile approach to us whatever we did. This was a horrible ending to an otherwise great day in and around Wotton under Edge. The area is beautiful and we hope to come back - but we’ll try one of the other cafes next time.

Food is lovely but you won't want it by the time it arrives. Nearly 45minutes for a panini and chips.

We have visited this lovely cafe many times over the last 10 years and it never fails to be amazing. Great food, friendly staff and a peaceful tea garden out the back. Prices are reasonable too. Love it!

Great little cafe with gluten free options and nice garden seating. Had great cheese and ham toastie on GF bread! Huge pots of tea and very reasonable prices too!

We popped in here while on a short break. Had the best toasted sandwiches - and on Gluten Free bread too! Huge pot of tea, choice of GF cakes, friendly service and very reasonable prices. Lovely garden at the rear. Would definitely eat here again!

Tea and cake in a private and tranquil garden. Most enjoyable!

Beautiful ,quiet garden Helpful staff and good coffee.

We had a lovely afternoon tea at Wotton Coffee Shop. The setting was perfect, beautiful gardens, impressive stone buildings, with good views of Wotton. The staff were friendly and very welcoming. A great afternoon !

Had a very nice cream tea at the end of a long walk. Sat in the excellent garden out the back.

6* brilliant staff food was fantastic and such a lovely atmosphere we visit from coventry a couple of times a year there was also a Lovely gentleman serving

The owner here is an angry man who told us to go elsewhere due to the fact we wanted to read the menu to see if there was anything I could eat before taking a table (there was not). He was also rude to the poor waitress, embarrassed her by saying we'd insulted her when we hadn't and he did not accept our confused apology.

First visit but definitely not the last. Sat in the rear garden, beautiful setting and well designed. Very friendly polite service, food lovely and fresh and freshly cooked. Reasonably priced, worth a visit.

Really relaxed feel to the cafe, friendly staff, good prices. Ordered a hazelnut latte, best coffee I’ve ever had

Rude owners and bizarre cafe, with nonsensical rules. Asked to wear masks when already sat at a table?! No problem, happy to take our custom elsewhere.

Nice people, good service, good food :)

Lovely toasties nice garden to sit out weather permitting

Danny & Carol are always welcoming. A quiet place to sit outside in the garden. Breakfast, Lunch or a Cream teas are lovely. Nice place to meet up with friends and share a coffee.

Beautiful garden to drink and eat in.

We've lived in Wotton over 15 years and for some reason this was our first visit. Afternoon tea with a recently retired friend. Absolutely lovely, first class, thank you. Topped by a sunny day so we were able to sit in the garden, which is amazing. Thank you to neighbours for recommendin it

Having seen the three poor reviews for the Wotton Coffee Shop recently, I decided to pop in and see what had changed since my last visit. In fact very little, everything went very smoothly and everyone nearby seemed to be satisfied with the service and the food. On investigation, I found out that the young staff were new and learning their way around sometimes difficult customers, who as we know are always right. I engaged the young staff and found them to be a little shy and awkward feeling their way. Like everything in life, confidence comes with practice. Reviewing results can be cruel and misleading, lacking in balance. There is nothing wrong with the Wotton Coffee Shop that a little tolerance and friendly interaction with those that serve you would not make your visit like mine, a very pleasant one.

Food was great fast service and lovey people me and my children will definitely be visiting again and I would definitely recommend it

I'm usually very reluctant to write a negative review, but the service (or lack of) that we received at the Wotton Coffee shop was just awful. We were careful to read the instructions on the sandwich board located outside of the shop and duly followed all the required Covid processes. The board requested that we found a table and sat down as they were operating table service only. We walked in and there was no-one to take a menu from or offer any guidance. There were no customers in the indoor area, so we walked through and sat down at a table in the outdoor seating area. There was a young man who was bringing food out to some of the other tables and we figured that when he had a moment he would probably bring us a menu. We've both worked in coffee shops before, so we're very aware of being considerate to members of staff and cutting them some slack. So we patiently waited for 30 minutes, by which point many of the other customers had left. We tried to catch his eye a couple of times but he basically ignored us. He then came out to wipe some of the empty tables down ( there was only us and one other table occupied at this stage) and then we thought that once he'd finished clearing the tables he would probably give us a menu. So we waited and he still ignored us . Eventually, I literally had to walk up to him and ask for a menu. Again, I asked politely and even tried to make conversation with him. He grunted , went inside and reluctantly brought a menu. No apology or acknowledgement, or even social niceties. He walked up to the table and plonked it down in front of us without saying a word. We then had to wait another 15 minutes before he took our order and again I had to request it, otherwise I don't think he would have taken our order at all! If he was busy I could have understood a bit more ( although there will still have been no excuse for rudeness), but it was just us and one other table. When our food did eventually arrive, he again plonked it down in front of us and added "your latte will be here in a minute"in a really brusque tone. The latte arrived, without a word from him at all. I wanted to ask for some sweetener, but I literally felt too intimidated by his attitude to do so. We have never been made to feel so unwelcome in an eatery before. In retrospect, I wish I had left much earlier when we were basically ignored for 30 minutes before getting a menu. We certainly won't be going back there again, especially when there is an excellent cafe called the Edge over the other side of the street where we have always received polite and efficient service and fabulous coffee too.

We visited this coffee shop for lunch today. A waiter was taking our order and we were having a pleasant enough experience in nice surroundings and in the beautiful weather. As he was finishing up the order and reading it back to us he suddenly made a very personal and insulting remark to my sister. He must have seen our reaction and tried to pass it off with a throwaway remark “we also insult the customers”. He left the table and we sat there stunned at his remark and how casually and carelessly he tried to pass it off. We decided to leave and cancelled the order on our way out. It was an upsetting and very surprising experience to say the least. I would not recommend anyone to visit this coffee shop while this man is still employed there, he may be staff or the owner I don’t know. We set out this morning for a nice day and this visit to the coffee shop upset us not least for how callous he was. Stay away and spend your money where it is deserved. We went afterwards to The Edge in Wotton. Lovely staff and the food was wonderful. Support a local business that values its customers, not insults them!

We visited this unassuming looking coffee shop and cafe during a brief visit to the town. We both had a sandwich and were pleasantly surprised at the scale and quality of it. Splendid find, and really enjoyed sitting in the garden out the back - lovely setting. Thoroughly recommend.

Very nice place lovely tea and cake nice and relaxing there.

Having spent the morning shopping locally we fancied a coffee so headed for Wotton Coffee Shop. As instructed by the chalk board outside we checked in with the NHS app. We loitered inside the entrance for a couple of minutes and after receiving no acknowledgement we wandered through to the garden and found ourself a table. A member of staff asked whether we were looking to order food and we replied that we were just here for coffee. Having gone back inside, the member of staff returned after a few minutes with the food for the next table. He apologised to them for the delay, citing that although reservations were being taken, people were just "wandering in and expecting to be served." That was as much as a hint as we needed to leave. On the way to the exit the gentleman stopped us and explained that next time it would be best to book in advance. Next time? I am confident there will not be a next time. I totally understand that since the easing of lockdown there is a lot of adjustments to be made in the way businesses operate and there are bound to be teething problems. However, there had been ample opportunity to come over and explain to us that there was a booking policy in place, rather than finding out about the dissatisfaction as we were within earshot of a table who had experienced a delay. Poor customer service. I like to find a positive most situations where possible, and on this occasion the positive is that we found ourselves trying The Edge, just across the road, where the service was excellent and we will be revisiting just as soon as we can.

Lovely atmosphere Kind helpful staff Good food

Super little café. Evidently loved by the locals. Good Covid precautions. Enjoyed a great cuppa with toasted teacakes. Just what we needed on a wet autumn afternoon. Thank you!

We were served at our table, just a coffee. The coffee was ok - not the best I've had or not the worst! Track and trace is up and running during these COVID times. It's obviously a popular place as most of the tables were occupied. It has a garden at the back but it had been raining so we couldn't use it.

We had an hour or two before we could check in to our hotel at nearby Torton Court. Having parked in the free car park in Wotton-under-Edge, it was lovely weather for a stroll around the small town. Being on the edge of the Cotswolds, the town's main streets were quite steep and we were soon looking for refreshments somewhere not too crowded (social distancing). As we peered in the window of Wotton Coffee Shop, we could see through to their garden at the back, which suited us perfectly. We ordered at the counter before going through, a black coffee for my wife and an Earl Grey for me. There was a range of what looked like home made cakes and the friendly service tempted me to some rhubarb sponge. A couple of the well spaced tables on the lawn were occupied so we chose a table for two on the surrounding pathway. Our order was quickly brought and my cake was fresh and light. We were offered a menu in case we wanted anything more substantial. Perhaps I should have checked to see how well they could have coped with my wife's food intolerances, but we were totally happy with what we had. The garden was like a courtyard at the back of what looked like it might have been an ecclesiastical building at some time, but I couldn't find anything to show the coffee shop's earlier history. The view across the garden to the hills around was wonderful. The bill when it came was actually much less than I expected. We enjoyed our visit so much that we returned the following morning.

Popped in for a take away sandwich. My choice wasn't on the menu but was accommodated anyway. Even though I was a take away customer I was still asked for all the proper track and trace information, The sandwich was huge and tasty, thank you.

We had a lovely meal, good portion size & good value for money. We were lucky enough to get a garden seat and it was sunny.

Pedí un té grande, recibí una taza pequeña de té, pedí azúcar y no vino. Era solo un cliente, pero aún así se equivocó y el personal simplemente charlaba entre ellos todo el tiempo sin estar atento a (su único) cliente. En lugar de quejarse del plan de subsidios del gobierno para que la gente salga a comer, ¿qué tal una buena relación calidad-precio y servicio al cliente?

Friendly efficient service. Cooked breakfasts Excellent home made cakes Refurbished to comply with Covid-19 precautions

Lovely traditional coffee shop run by Carol & Danny. Food cooked to order. Great garden on warmer days.

Lovely place to stop for coffee, really pleasant staff and nice atmosphere. Good prices too, would definately come back.

Very cosy and homely. Lovely cake. Nice coffee. A historic building. Normally open 9am to 5pm Monday to Saturday.

My friends coffee looked anemic and tasted very weak. Not good for a coffee shop! My tea was fine but customers had to keep asking for/sharing the jars of sugar cubes. You'd think they'd have them on all tables!

Very nice place. Friendly owners.. Nice selection of food.

Had fantastic bacon and cheese omelette,with plenty of bacon and a lovely salad.

I do not hate this place..... Its very special to me and Wotton.

Very nice cafe,the tea wasn't to my taste unfortunately,too weak. I will go again because it's a very place.

We enjoyed our lunch/ afternoon tea yesterday. My parents enjoyed their scones and tea and I had a great sausage and egg sandwich. A really friendly and comfy atmosphere, perfect for our afternoon in Wotton Under Edge.

Bollos caseros y quiche. Personal v amable y atento, pedí el té de la tarde para mis amigos 60 cumpleaños. Estaba lloviendo, así que no podíamos sentarnos en Gstden, pero si tienes la oportunidad de visitarlo y sentarte afuera, es un bonito jardín espectacular y el edificio es muy antiguo y grandioso.Visitar y disfrutar es un gran lugar para probar.

I went to Wotton coffee shop as I used to live there when the previous owners Sandra John and family used to run it themselves.it was very nice managers were lovely .

Aunque he estado en esta calle, nunca entré en esta cafetería, hasta que vi un folleto sobre su jardín escondido. Con una pequeña fachada, los tesoros internos son un secreto que me alegra haber encontrado. Estaba ocupado, pero encontramos una mesa, y se dio una disculpa porque habría un retraso. Estábamos felices de esperar, era un ambiente encantador, y también había tarjetas para comprar. De todos modos, aunque no estábamos lo suficientemente cálidos como para sentarnos afuera, nos miramos, y no puedo esperar un día adecuado, un área mucho más grande de lo esperado, con edificios del siglo XVI para observar. La comida fue servida con otra disculpa por el retraso, no fue un problema ya que estábamos disfrutando de nuestro té. La comida estaba recién hecha, muy agradable. Los pasteles se veían geniales, así que se ordenó llevarlos a casa, todo hecho en casa, no puedo esperar a regresar, así que me alegro de haber encontrado esta joya.

Amazing full English breakfast! Lovely staff, friendly and helpful. They also have a gardeebut it was closed because of the rainy weather.

We had cream tea at the Wooten Coffee shop and had the best scones of our trip. Just out of the oven and served to us in the lovely garden.

very good prices, put themselves out of the way to cook any thing even if not on menu they even carry the food over to us if we busy... fantastic couple Vivienne Dale@hunters

Visited with my husband for brunch. Great food, lovely atmosphere, really friendly staff. Want to rave about this place but also kinda want to keep it secret too - conflicted! But they deserve a good review

I came to Wotton on the edge for an interview at Reinshaw. Was a bit early so decided to get some tea. The staff were extremely polite and were so friendly. I don't live very far but will definitely go out of my way to come here again. I recommend it to anyone.

Very helpful nothing too hard to oblige. Very friendly couple. Love it.

A lovely cafe nice in every way, very good value for money. Wonderful service. Can't go wrong.

Friendly very reasonably priced and a great asset to the community

Visité un sábado por la tarde. Bastante ocupado porque era la única cafetería abierta.Aconsejaría que hubiera una buena espera para la comida, así que si tiene prisa, déjese llevar por lo menos 40 minutos, bien vale la pena esperar, la comida se sirve muy caliente y sabrosa.Una cafetería muy amigable llena de locales, buenas bromas y una buena selección de tartas y bocadillos caseros.

Spent our time in the Cotwold walking …. had a wonderful breakfast prior to a hard days hiking. Super breakfast and really friendly staff. Great value too.

Very good quality & portions, garden nice on a sunny day.

Stopped here while walking the Cotswolds way, they had a really nice garden and some friendly staff, but unfortunately the rest of our experience here was pretty poor. Having sat down inside it felt like we were told we had to go and sit outside. It got worse as my "cappuccino" reminded me more of an instant coffee. Overall can't really say I'd recommend stopping here

Looks very small from the outside, but get a coffee or a refreshing cup of tea and in good weather sit in thier fabulous walled garden. With 16th century old surrounding buildings that was historically a school and a water tower with reported tunnels leading to The Ram Inn it's a definite hidden treasure. And the foods great as well.

Excellent, very friendly, good food and quaint

Cute little coffee and cake shop on an equally cute street.

Super pretty garden to eat in, and pretty good food

Really friendly staff, good for all ages. Lovely cake and omelets

Two years since I last reviewed and still visit regularly. A very local meeting place, everyone knows everyone else and you always get a welcome. Cakes are pretty good too, all home baked. Lots of charity support, including special teas and the recent addition of a bring and buy bookshelf. Sadly no longer open on Sunday but you cannot have everything. If you are in Wotton, try here first.

What a warm and friendly place. Run by some lovely people who seem to know everyone. Service is quick and we only had drinks but they were perfect.

I had a lovely christmas lunch on the 15th December Danny and Carol worked really hard

Very friendly helpful staff no rush for you to leave

I loved their Cheese and Mushroom omelette. Yummy

What a great find this place was. We were walking up the high street and stumbled upon it. The gentleman serving was so welcoming and recommended we sit in the garden - it was a lovely day and the garden area is so peaceful and tranquil. There are plenty of tables indoors too. We ordered a toastie, tuna sandwich, tea and a coffee which came to around £11. Each sandwich was beautifully presented with a salad garnish and crisps. Very good value for money and much better than having to take out a second mortgage to have coffee in one of these faceless, corporate establishments. The gentleman serving was so friendly and when we went to pay, him and his partner told us the business had been there 11 years. I can see why they've stood the test of time - fantastic service and decent food at a fair price. Well worth a visit.

Excellent meal and wonderful service from the staff I just love coming to the Wotton coffee shop would not go anywhere else and I would recommend it to family and friends

Lovely little sleeper of a place run by volunteers from the village... The inside tea room has a few tables with plenty of places to sit, the staff are very friendly here and suggested as it was sunny we sit outside in the garden (wow what a place), the courtyard should be the huge selling point to this place as it was a stunning lawn area with the old fashioned courtyard aspect. The menu is basic but perfectly fine for a good pot of tea and a coffee, my children loved the banana milkshakes with cream and marshmallows. We will call again...

Muy buen queso y champiñones y patatas fritas macizos sandwichera excelente. Nos sirvieron bastante rápidamente, aunque el café estaba casi completa este sábado a mediodía. Precioso jardín en la parte trasera, pero el tiempo nos mantuvo dentro. Demasiada agua en enorme tetera para dos, pero eso es cómo mi madre hubiera gustado - numerosas tazas de té débil. Yo prefiero una cerveza del constructor de ahí no he dado cinco estrellas. Menú desayunos cocinados, patatas asadas, hamburguesas, sándwiches, paninies, fritos, patatas fritas y pasteles. Mesas redondas, con un montón de espacio. Buena relación calidad-precio.

Llamado aquí porque nuestro hotel tenía una cola para el desayuno. La acogida fue amable y servicial, y el traqueteo de los lugareños hicieron un ambiente cálido, no es el típico lugar turístico a un magnífico ejemplo de un lugar verdaderamente británica. Tuve una tortilla y mi esposa una papa al horno. Ambas estaban muy bien y a buen precio. No es el mejor lugar se puede comer, pero disfrutamos de la visita de todos modos.

Great breakfast good meeting place plenty of choice will cater for all needs & will deviate from the main menu

This is a very traditional cafe with very nice breakfasts, sandwiches and tea cakes. Excellent value and friendly service.

lovely cakes and home cooked food, very popular with the locals, a great place to meet up with friends

No me impresionó cuando entramos dentro, llegó en un día tranquilo como normalmente parece tan ocupado desde el exterior.

Buena comida, buen personal. Comida casera bien. Precios razonables. Excelente jardín que sería genial en verano. Tuve una conversación muy agradable con el propietario carol. que es muy acogedor.

What are the best coffee shops I've ever stopped in great food lovely atmosphere highly recommend it

Vivimos en la zona y visitar la cafetería bastante regularmente. Tiene un ambiente muy agradable, con un montón de clientes habituales. Se sirven comidas ligeras y hay una buena selección de tartas caseras a precios muy razonables. Se abren los domingos a mediodía (todos los demás alrededor está cerrado) y es una verdadera ganga - dos campos y té por £8. Podrá tomar una copa o sentarse rápido por horas, nadie intenta rápido. Relación calidad-precio es inmejorable.

(The pictures were after I cleaned milk left in the apparently clean cup) Lovely spot for a tea room and was really looking forward to some food and drinks. Great prices but service wasn't great and confusing. Unfortunately the crockery was dirty and food wasn't great. The plates of food were just placed on our table and we had to look in the toastie to see who's was who. Bit of a dated let down

We went to this coffee shop after seeing the reviews on Trip Advisor, but it didn't live up to our expectations.I wanted a jacket potato, but they had sold out of oven baked ones, so had one cooked in a microwave - not as good. We sat outside in the beautiful garden, but had to wait over 20 minutes for our drinks to be brought out to us. The server was friendly, but the service wasn't efficient. Shame.

The perfect retreat right on the Cotswold Way Walk. We stopped for coffee and cake and were delighted. Hospitable and courteous hosts served coffee just how I like it and a really good hot chocolate just how Lee wanted it (although they couldn't believe an Aussie didn't want cream or marshmallows!). The Christmas pudding cake is as good as it sounds - we had it for sort of mid year Christmas. Would recommend without question.

We popped into this wonderful coffee shop for some refreshments while touring the Cotswold. We had homemade tea cakes and my husband had. Cheese and onion toasty. The service was excellent. Staff were welcoming and friendly. To cap it off was the wonderful rear garden.

We visit at least once a week, both as a couple and sometimes as a larger family group.Carole, Danny and their staff provide the warmest of welcomes and a selection of fabulous home-made cakes and scones. Lunch is also good, with huge portions at very reasonable prices. The freshly made sandwiches are particularly delicious and fantastic value for money! However, there is usually also a selection of cooked home made specials as well as the usual Paninis, toasties, breakfasts, baked potatoes and omelettes etc.Coffee is also really good, and there is a pretty garden with tables and chairs for when the weather is kind - can highly recommend scones with Jam and cream in the garden on a sunny afternoon!

We were on a walk around WuE and needed to stop for a quick lunchtime snack.The Wotton Coffee Shop fitted the bill admirably!Unpretensious? Maybe .......... but really good service, fantastic freshly-made sandwiches, very inviting home -cooked cakes; all at very reasonable prices.An establishment clearly supported by "The Locals" - which is always a very good sign.

I think my title says it all. You just have to go. Such a sweet secluded garden. Huge pot of hot tea, great home made cake. Friendly and efficient service.

Regular customer and always get really high quality food and service with a smile! whether it be lunch, breakfast or just a take away coffee the service has always been amazing!

A Friendly welcome, a quiet garden area and home made cakes and pastries at their best. Simple fare, well prepared and cooked and served with a smile. All at "pop in for a snack" prices, be it whilst shopping or somewhere for walkers to rest their feet with a cuppa

This coffee shop is the best in Gloucestershire the food is excellent and the Staff are very friendly and in the spring and summer there is a garden you can sit in with very pretty flowers and plants its also a joy to sit with friends and listen to the birds singing.

Very nice traditional coffee shop, excellent home cooked food and cakes. Very friendly staff and management. Great big garden for when the weather improves. Would definitely recommend to anyone
