What I'd call a great experience; lovely traditional café with a deceptively big menu, home cooked food to order at good prices. Who could resist taking home a cheeky cake afterwards? Especially fond of the almond biscuits and danishes. A great place in Newbury for anybody, and Wendy the owner is such a lovely person to add. I'd recommend to anybody who likes good food and good customer service.

A lovely old fashioned cafe and bakery. It has the beams and ambience of an ancient dwelling and the owner has lived there all her life. We had a pleasant lunch and conversation in what must be a real cornerstone of Newbury life.

Was visiting Newbury and stumbled upon this lovely bakery! My wife and I just had a rum truffle and a donut between us and both were fantastic. £2.90 for both so reasonably priced. The lovely older lady serving was friendly and chatty and this place is the kind of bakery we all used to visit when we were children. I wish we lived closer so we could visit regularly but probably for the best as I'd be the size of a house!!

I can’t think of a bakery I like more. (Disclaimer - I’ve not eaten in the café so this review is really just about the bakery part of the business.) This is a proper old-fashioned English bakery, making real bread, with delicious traditional cakes and patisserie, as well as sausage rolls and pastries. The bread is excellent and the cream slices great. They also sell flour, jams and local free range eggs, and I’ve seen them sell fresh yeast to customers too. Friendly service and good everything baked in old-fashioned brick ovens. Bakeries like this are rare these days, and the prices are reasonable too. This is no hipster sourdough bakery - this is the real thing.

This has to be my favourite place in Newbury. The bakery is the oldest in town, their lardy cake is legendary. Food is freshly cooked and you are always welcomed with a smile. This is a traditional cafe, wholesome, cooked food and fantastic cakes

Stopped for something to eat after a long journey. A warm welcome and an all day breakfast which was absolutely delicious.One of those lovely old bakeries where there is a cafe in the back. Locally sourced ingredients, including flour from the local mill and years of skill by artisan bakers. A really lovely, friendly owner too - proper old school.Definitely worth a visit - even if it’s only to marvel at the fabulous display of treats in the front window!
