The best restaurants in Abbey Reading South East

We came here for afternoon tea and had a lovely experience. The food was lovely, especially the scones and the staff were fantastic. Couldn’t recommend it enough.

This is my favourite cafe in Reading. They do fantastic large portions of cake and lovely coffee. It's brilliant having a high quality cafe that's also 100% suitable for Coeliacs.

I visited while in the area for the day and had a lovely lunch. The coffee was really nice and there was a great selection of sweets treats. I also got some scones and quiche to take away which were amazing. A really friendly relaxing atmosphere, can't wait to visit again.

Qué hallazgo. En un mar de cafeterías de cadena que sirven un cocofani de café de mala calidad, corriente del molino, se encuentra el conocido como 'Coffee Van', que sirve bebidas genuinas a base de café expreso, además de una selección de golosinas dulces. Una cadena callejera que no es, y mi Caramelo Macchiato, con su tamaño diminuto y sabores cuidadosamente equilibrados es mucho mejor para ella. Ten en cuenta que un macchiato no es un trago largo (hablando contigo Costa, Starbucks et al) sino un trago corto, con un toque de espuma para suavizar el expreso. Hay una pequeña cantidad de asientos para beber al aire libre, que está bien para un día seco de septiembre, pero podría ser menos atractivo con más inclemencias del tiempo. Aun así, como parada para tomar un café durante su día laboral (está cómodamente cerca del Oracle Centre fuera de las Oficinas Cívicas) , es un gran hallazgo y mantendrá sus niveles de cafeína cebados durante unas buenas horas, ayudando a sobrevivir a esa próxima reunión o dos. Bien vale la pena una visita - y el barista es extremadamente bien informado también!

Me encanta el colectivo pero recientemente la comida no es tan buena. Tenían el pastel de zanahoria perfecto y lo cambiaron, sus cruasanes ahora son como pan, no cruasanes como en absoluto. No sé si cambiaron de panadero, pero no son tan buenos. También dejaron de hacer la deliciosa comida caliente.

Fantastic evening at this lovely little venue. First visit for us and we’ll be back. The team there went above and beyond. It was my daughters birthday and they made her feel really special. We went along to the ‘Brush Party’, it was the first one they held there and we 100% recommend, if you get the chance, go along, it’s lots of fun and really absorbing.

Exceptional food. Fresh and well cooked mixed grill. The 2 guys cooking and serving were brilliant and friendly with my young child. Well priced brilliant food

Best wraps ever. Absolutely delicious. Two more regular clients added on the list. Excellent price, quick and excellent customer service.

Encontré el lugar mientras buscaba alas calientes y cerveza artesanal. Gran sorpresa al encontrar este lugar escondido debajo de 7 Bone. Buena selección de cervezas que cambian regularmente y hay Nintendo de la vieja escuela. El personal realmente servicial también! Todo buen ambiente allí

Lots of coffee shops to choose from in Reading; but on this week's stay in the town I've found myself taking my early coffee and snack here. It isn't as busy first thing as some of the others. (If you go into Caffe Nero opposite, for example, you might well get stuck in a long queue.) And I think this shop has one of the best ambiences, with theatrical lighting and chunky furniture. Sometimes they even have a cool jazz playlist on air. I often like a morning cake or pastry. And I've noticed the ones at Black Sheep are some of the best in the main chains. Always fresh and tasty. Not everything's perfect though. For me, they serve an Americano at a slightly lower temperature than their rivals. This has led me to only take my coffee here black. That said, it's good coffee.

I was so glad I found this small and fairly tucked away coffee shop. I had a delicious sandwich which was freshly prepared, and an excellent filter coffee - both of which were great value as part of a lunchtime deal. There are a couple of stools so you can eat in, and my server was very friendly and welcoming. This will definitely become a regular haunt!

We really enjoyed our lunch, starters, main and dessert too. Had no time for hotpot, so we chose from the lunch menu. Food came out fast and hot. The waitress was kind, helpful to explain. Liked the oriental music in the background. Beautiful decorations on the windows and inside too.

Delicious selection of tacos, friendly service and Blue Collar seems lovely place to spend some time relaxing and eating

Pizza is always very tasty and very close to the Italian Naples pizza 🤟❤️
