Walk here up the Coln valley from Coln St Alwyn. Turn right just before the hollow oak and over a little footbridge. Follow the path to Bibury. Have a nice coffee & cake in this pleasant little cafe. Walk back for lunch at the New Inn. Gloucestershire at its best.
We stayed in the campsite for a week in August. Jeanette and Steve were lovely ,explaining everything and checking up on us.
The site was peaceful, plenty of room around us.
The toilets were very clean and tidy. Thankyou
So we ordered 2 ice cream waffles and asked for a few extra spoons as we did not want one each due to ordering other food earlier and pretty stuffed.
That’s when the ladies serving got a bit annoyed and then spoke about us in their own language. You could clearly tell they were not talking about us very nicely. Come on for a couple of extra spoons ? Would have happily paid another 5 p each for them if that’s what they wanted. I mean the ice cream bubble waffles are not exactly cheap so what’s all the fuss.
Think they need to take a chill pill.
Also the place could do with a clean and make it more child friendly.
Would be interested to know what the hygiene rate is too ?
It was my Hen Do on the weekend and my sister and friends had organised a brunch booking at this lovely café on the Sunday. Our waitress, Emelie made the experience extra special from the moment she started serving us. She came over with a big smile and said congratulations to me, which was appreciated. Then, when I went to order the blueberry pancakes, which they had sadly just sold out of (I’m not surprised, they looked delicious!), she went above and beyond to find me something similar to eat. At first, she offered me the kid’s pancakes which consisted of one pancake, a banana, and maple syrup. This sounded delicious, so I decided to go for that along with some mushrooms on sourdough toast as I thought it might be quite little, and to be honest, I was torn between the two anyway!
However, when our orders came out, Emelie not only delivered the kid’s pancakes, but between her and the chef, they had managed to make it an adult sized portion (so I was rather full after my mushrooms on toast, too, such a treat!) with two pancakes, banana, maple syrup, along with some Greek yoghurt and berry compote they had managed to find. I was taken aback by how thoughtful this gesture was and it made my Hen Do brunch all the more special.
After we’d finished eating, Emelie noticed us trying to take a selfie of all of us (with varying degrees of success!) and she kindly offered to take a photograph of us all (she took loads and we got some really great shots).
Everything about Emelie’s service was exceptional and the food was amazing too. I’d also really recommend the banana milkshake - yum!
We would definitley return to this delightful café :)
Just Wow! The cakes here are amazing, maybe a little pricey but they are well worth it! Picked up a few for friends at work and they all went down a treat. Will definitely be back.

Nice outdoor area. Unfortunately the meal was let down somewhat by the food, which consisted of meat/ fish which was barely discernible in flavour from the brightly coloured sauces - quite underwhelming.
This way, beautifully dressed toddlers; that way, somebody on laptop emails and a healthy breakfast. It's colourful, comfy and creatively imaginative, with nice coffee and enticingly unique cakery (+ great savouries). I was there at 9:45 and just missed the last croissant, but was delighted by the alternative offer. Widcombe must be up-and-coming with this place for the up-and-come; I didn't see anybody in a suit, but you could try it.
Este lugar solía ser el mejor lugar para conseguir pasteles y café desde cuando abrió por primera vez el personal era encantador / amable y acogedor desafortunadamente todo bajó colina abajo no estoy seguro de si cambiaron de dueño o simplemente el personal, pero esta fue mi experiencia la última vez que visité. Fui a pedir a mis hijos el primer pastel de cumpleaños una semana antes de su cumpleaños la panadera se vendió a sí misma como la mejor de la ciudad e incluso sacó su teléfono y se comparó con otros panaderos de pasteles como a sus ojos “ella es la mejor” que me enamoré completamente como una tonta de todos modos dándole 1 semana para hacer mi pastel personalizado que ella dijo que puede hacer Vine a recoger un desastre de un pastel la crema estaba todo corrido el pastel estaba todo manchado e incluso la escritura en él parecía repugnante y desordenado ella lo culpó a la crema! De todas formas no tuve más remedio que coger el pastel del desastre y he subido una foto. Como mamá por primera vez esto fue realmente decepcionante para mí y cuando se trataba de pagar a la señora detrás de la caja registradora se llevó £ 15 de descuento en el precio original donde el "fabricante de pasteles" no estaba de acuerdo con y dijo que nada se debe quitar.
We wanted a lunch and our usual place was packed so tried here and were not a bit disappointed. My husband had the best crab salad/sandwich he has ever had. Will be back in Spring 2025
A very special place in such a wonderful setting. The owners are lovely and very accommodating. We had an amazing lunch and the cafe is the nicest we have had in a long time. We would recommend this lovely tea garden and the area is worth visiting as it is stunning. Thankyou.
