Bakery on the Water is a family-run artisan bakery located in the picturesque Cotswold village of Bourton-on-the-Water. Established in 1978, this charming bakery offers an array of top-quality baked goods, including freshly baked scones, rich Eccles cakes, and delectable Chelsea buns. Visitors can also enjoy rustic sandwiches, traditional pastries, and savory options like pasties and quiches.
This was definitely the right place for breakfast! Both mornings we ate here, there was a line out the door. We ate in and enjoyed scrambled eggs on toast with a flat white. The bread was freshly made, the eggs were nice and cheesy and the flat white was made to perfection! We really enjoyed having breakfast here and highly recommend.

Fantastic little cosy place, placed in the lovely town of Bourton-on-the-Water. It has been a great moment finding this place, amongst all other bakeries.
We also arrived quite late in the day so not many of the other places were open.
Great service and lovely pastries as well ;)
We had the best cinnamon rolls, so fresh and squishy and huge, the icing was very tasty too and served in a muffin case - so cute!! smooth flat whites, served at the right temperature. Fab little garden at the back just watch for the wasps …. Bonus points for being dog friendly. All the bakes and pastries looked amazing making it a tough decision.
Would have been 5 stars but you refused my Scottish 🏴 money even though it is legal currency in the uk……
Brought a malted loaf very late in the day. They managed to sell one for me, as I think they were all sealed up and ready to put away. Reasonable price for a large loaf, £3.80.
The bakery on the water was a bit of a disappointment to me. I purchased a sandwich a sausage roll and two pastries for a whopping £25. The food itself wasn’t bad however it didn’t not distinguish itself from other cheaper bakeries a short walk a way. The sandwich and the sausage roll took 20 minutes to toast and I was ignored by the staff. What a-shame, had the food been cheaper I would not of mined but for a premium price I expected a bit more.
Very cozy small cafe with very delicious food and drinks! Had a spot at the window with a lovely view.
Nice sitting area with lovely view, service is fast, friendly staff. We loved the lemon cake (11/10), the sandwiches were tasty (vegetarian option) and the cortado very well done.
I marked down a star because of the wasps, I know it can't be helped, but I spent my visit on edge. The focaccia I ordered came with a surprise salad and crisps that I didn't realise was included. All was very delicious and the iced tea I had was also very nice. Would visit again, just maybe with a citronella candle.

The ever-changing menu offers indulgent treats like brownies, homemade cakes, and wickedly good freakshakes. You can enjoy an all-day brunch with stuffed sandwiches, American-style pancakes, dirty loaded fries, and more at this fabulously affordable luxury spot where everything is under 10.
Lovely vegan breakfast, it was very unusual and different which I loved. The soya hot chocolate was well made. Prices are good, staff are friendly, great ambience and lots of food choices. Its always packed so get there early and enjoy. Staff are friendly and it takes card.

Vegan options are few and far between in Gloucester so we were glad to find Hubble Bubble who have a few options including breakfast and plant milks which do not have an extra charge like many places. We had jacket potato with houmous, falafel and rocket with two teas and oat milk, which was all delicious. I notice they also had vegan chocolate orange gluten free tarts too. Lovely friendly owner and staff.
A great dog-friendly cafe. Be sure to try the dishes based on fries - like a canadian poutin! The lemonade is really nice and the staff are friendly - its really nice to have independent cafes like this that are 10 times better than any of the chains!
I found this place whilst passing time around the area and was very impressed.
The menu was varied and contrary to other reviews, I was lucky enough to have a full choice. The food, when it arrived was well presented and tasty.
I was visiting with the mini-me (9months) and the staff and cafe were welcoming toward both of us with prevision of a high chair as well.
I'd recommend highly.
I am living in Gloucester since 2018 and I have walked front this place a millions of times and never getting in but today I went with some friends that they had been ther before and the food is really good, good prices, and nice staff. We catch the table just a moment so we didn't do any booking. I will go more times to try the rest of their dishes.
Stopped here this morning and what a surprise, exceptional food and friendly staff. Food came out fast and cappuccino was delicious! Great menu and great selection! In the heart of the city!
A very vibrant and well frequented place. I arrived at the change over from brekky to lunch. The staff were super friendly and the service was efficient and courteous. The menu features hearty meals that seem inspired by American diner food. There were great specials available too. All the food I saw come out of the kitchen looked good. My chicken burger was delicious and very reasonably priced.
Overall a very positive experience.
Love this place, good atmosphere, food choices, staff, service, prices very affordable not surprisingly always busy, would recommend to anyone.

Lucy's Tearoom is a charming, family-run establishment located in a listed stone building in Stow-on-the-Wold's main square. This traditional English tearoom and B&B offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with a delightful courtyard garden at the back. Open daily from 10am to 4pm, it's an ideal stop for enjoying teas, cakes, soups, light lunches, as well as wine and beer while exploring the town or browsing antique shops.
Heard this place was famous for scones, and they definitely lived up to the hype. Surprisingly, the tuna mayo toastie we ordered was the highlight—absolutely delicious. It was busy with a bit of a wait, but totally worth it.

I visited on a Thursday in August so it was quite busy. I ordered a Ploughman's lunch and was told there was a 30 minute wait for food so I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived after only 20 minutes. The Ploughman's itself was excellent - no ham but a tasty sausage roll instead along with sweet pickle, pickled onions and gherkins and of course the obligatory slab of cheese with bread and butter. Very enjoyable 😃😄😃😄😃
I had such a wonderful experience at this tea room! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, but what truly makes it special is the staff. They are incredibly attentive, genuinely kind, and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and welcome. Every detail, from the service to the presentation, reflects great care and thoughtfulness. It’s the kind of place where you can truly relax, enjoy your tea, and feel completely at ease. Highly recommended!
We were lucky enough to stay here this past weekend. We haven’t stopped talking about it since! The building is warm and charming in the gorgeous square of Stow-on-the-Wold. Everything is within walking distance. The room was perfectly cozy and the bed was perfect. We were the only ones there for the night. We met Dawn who was the absolute best host we’ve ever come across. From welcoming us with the best shortbread to giving dinner recommendations, to coming in early with the rest of the team to serve our breakfast before they opened to the public. She even gave us keys so we could come and go through the shop after hours since our room was tucked away in the courtyard! You can stay somewhere else if you’d like, but I’m willing to bet you’d have a better experience at Lucy’s. Besides - you would miss out on Dawn. You’d regret that for sure!
We went today, on a rainy morning, attracted by the place and the reviews. The atmosphere was cosy, very homely and rustic, and both the teas (with lots to choose from) and the cakes, scones and sandwiches were spectacular. But best of all was the attitude and service of the waiters, both Max, who took our order, and the girls, all helpful, attentive, joking and very professional. A ten out of ten experience, we hope to return one day, it's nice to find people and places like this.
Incredible tea and scones. Fantastic service. The Cream Tea was outstanding. They also have Gluten Free and Vegan options if needed. 10/10
Really friendly and accomdating bunch! Stopped off after a long walk for some food and a coffee. Dog friendly, great ploughman's, the staff couldn't do more for you. I would definitely recommend to anyone!
We have tried this tearoom for the afternoon tea😊 lovely staff, cosy location (we sat in the veranda) and delicious scones,cakes and sandwiches! Excellent price-quality ratio. The perfect place for and afternoon tea in Stowe🥰

Seriously beautifullllll bakery! This adorable bakery caught my eye with the stunning window display of the most delicious looking goodies. Everything was laid out picture perfect! Stopped in & was surprised to find a vegan croissant! It was amazing! Super flakey outside, doughy inside filled with raspberry filling. It was seriously so fresh, delicious & wonderful while walking around the beautiful downtown!
Heather B — Google review
An absolute delight of a bakery. Went here practically everyday for breakfast for the duration of our stay in town because it was just perfection!
Food was exquisite and the price was well worth it for what you got. The staff were absolutely lovely and so helpful too, it’s a shame not have have a place like it local to me!
Fantastic pastry and one of the best savoury pastry I would have had (Davidson Cheddar & Onion and pies pastry). The pistachio croissant, carrot cake and other croissants were good.
Good food but the experience at the till was more stressful than ordering at an airport!
I understand it gets busy but they could push the brake a bit. Rushing through orders doesn't change anything in the grand scheme of things and gives you the impression that they are just after your money...
PS. This is sadly a cash-free establishment.
Cheerful staff, full of people, good mocha, the pistachio croissant also very nice!
This was the perfect afternoon stop for amazing desserts and Pasties. We loved the steak and stilton pasty, tomato & cheese turnover, and Cornwall pudding. Tea was perfect as well. The charming atmosphere and excellent service make this a main stop for us daily while here.
Great place to grab a cream tea. Good vegetarian selection and a little vegan option of croissants and Indian pasty.
Only one toilet and difficult for wheelchair users to get in.
Queues can be long.
Get a table first then get your food.
Have to park in the main car parks.
We had two delicious pasties - one curry, one cheese and onion. Chai latte and carrot cake to finish on a sweet note. Everything was incredibly tasty. The staff was very efficient and kind.

For a hearty start to your day, the signature Find Breakfast features Cotswold pork sausage, streaky bacon, wild mushrooms, roasted tomatoes, baked beans, potato rosti, two poached eggs on toasted sourdough—truly a feast!
Excellent afternoon tea. We go to a lot of afternoon teas, and this was up with many of the big London hotels in quality. Sandwiches were perfect, with very fresh bread and good fillings. The sausage roll slices and scotch eggs were perfect and tasted freshly made. The scones were lovely and totally fresh. The cakes were gorgeous. Highly recommended.

I’m so glad I reached out to The Find for our Christmas party last year—it was the best decision we could’ve made! A huge thank you to Megan, Gino, and the entire team for creating such a fantastic evening for me and my 20 colleagues. From start to finish, the service was exceptional. The food was absolutely sublime, and having the entire room to ourselves made it feel so special. The thoughtful festive touches, like the beautifully Christmassy décor, truly elevated the whole experience. If you’re looking for the perfect Christmas party venue in Cheltenham, I couldn’t recommend The Find more highly!
Super brunch place!
Very busy on Saturday morning as they only do walk-ins on weekends.
Great friendly staff. I ordered the buttermilk pancakes with seasonal fruits (this is specified in the menu) & clotted cream but as far as I'm aware berries and mangoes are not winter fruits so it might be an old menu.
However, it was still delicious!!
The green smoothie and mango refresher smoothie was absolutely yummy! Very filling.
Highly recommend!
Although it was Sunday lunch time and it was very busy, the food was incredible! The amount of salmon for eggs royal was very generous :)! The capucchino was lovely and although it felt quite a squeeze overall it was a nice experience. I think either having some fabric on the walls to make it easier to talk when sat down and having more hangers and places to put their clothes, bags would have been better. Would be back!!!
Had the awesome Joe at service taken care of me and my friend Kim. I had the lovely dirty chai latte w/ oat milk. with delicious chorizo hash. Been here a while ago but glad to come back again with the nice vibes.
Thanks Joe for taking care of us
Flawless 5 stars! Hunting for gluten free cake and good coffee is always a challenge we embrace when visiting new cities.
The Find is an absolute find! Friendly service, good selection of GF cakes and good options on the main breakfast and lunch menu.
Delicious GF cakes - strawberry shortcake and coffee pecan were both delicious. Coffee was perfect.
This place does not disappoint and only wish we had this closer to home.
Fantastic place! Had to wait a few minutes as we turned up at lunchtime but really impressed. Lovely menu choice, friendly staff and great quality food. Perfectly sized portions. It certainly was a Find. Thoroughly recommend. Was very tempted to go back the following day!!
Popped in for a spot of brunch on Tuesday as my friend had heard good reviews of the food. We had "The Full Find" and "Eggs Benedict" with added bacon and a pair of lattes. All for less than £30. It's counter service when you enter, however they do do table service if you ask. The food was great and the coffee enjoyable. If you find yourself in Cheltenham and fancy a bite to eat and or coffee head to The Find, you won't be disappointed....

This charming cafe serves delicious Italian-style crepes and full English breakfasts. It is small but highly rated on TripAdvisor, with friendly staff and great coffee.
Love this place! Salvatore is a champion! Delicious breakfast and awesome coffee... Sicilian style!

I ordered the basil tomato soup and it tasted distinctly like pizza sauce.
It came with "warm bread." Really awful fat white sliced bread. One small foil wrapped butter pat. When I asked for another, he tossed another one onto my table.
I ordered a decaf latte and got instant decaf latte. He was kind enough to provide the foil packet.
The cafe is cute.
The owner/server spend the entire time at the 2 tables in front of me trashing a common acquaintance and his "coarse" wife.
Yuck on so many levels.
Finally, I had just been somewhere earlier, and because I was talking, i misplaced my payment card. The owner/server noticed me searching my pockets and my pack. He loudly said (so the entire restaurant would hear him asking) if I had a problem. I assume he was thinking I was going to stiff and him he was not going to let any shenanigans go unnoticed.
I found it. I paid him. And I happily went out into the rain.
We came here as we really wanted to try somewhere different and saw a lovely pic on their fb of eggs Benedict.
What we got was a totally different experience.
The bacon was COLD, and not crispy as described. The eggs were either undercooked or spoilt. Every time we popped our eggs open, they literally burst out with water. It was actually disgusting. We were hungry, so we ate. Both of us were extremely unwell very very quickly. I honestly would avoid.
Very welcoming and friendly staff.
This was an unexpected visit but was pleasantly surprised.
The iced drinks were amazing, very good value for money.
Food was reasonably priced and tasty.
Great service.
Will definitely visit again to try their other dishes.
Edit: Tried the Eggs benedict too. Environment was once again very friendly. It seemed like they had a lot of regulars too.
Great place for lunch very clean food was fresh owner very pleasant
Chanced upon this place after searching for a lunch spot and was pleasantly surprised! Very authentic. The handmade pizza was excellent, as was the tomato soup. Staff super friendly and allow flexibility with the menu. What a great find!
A gem of a cafe in Cheltenham. We were looking for a light lunch and found this cafe. The menu was lovely and the food freshly prepared. Gluten free bread. No problem. Excellent service.
Very friendly proprietor. Great food choices. The scrambled tofu wasn’t scrambled though, and we had to put up with someone smoking right next to us while we ate 🤢

Wonderful find! We had the Ploughman’s platter to share - it was huge. Lovely cheeses, bread (supplied gluten-free for me), pickles, two varieties of ham etc. Definitely going back as there’s a farm shop too, selling the lovely pizzas, jams, even a range of gins (the damson gin was beautiful). A hidden gem just outside Mickleton, with excellent service from Bob. So welcoming to my friend’s new baby too - nothing was too much trouble. We’ll be back!

On holiday with my mom and we quite literally found Decades Cafe by accident. I struggled to find the road to our cottage and turned around. I could not be happier we did.
Not only was this the first meal we had, it was the best of our trip. Everything was freshly made and the quality unmatched.
So much so, that we went back for a second time. What really made the meal for us was the phenomenal conversation and disposition of head chef Bob. Thank you so much for an absolutely lovely experience!
My daughter booked this cafe for Mother’s Day. The food was amazing and Bob the owner and chef went above and beyond to look after our three young grandsons, nothing was too much trouble! I can highly recommend and my husband and I will be dropping in very soon. 😋😋😋
Enjoyed the gluten free vegetarian pizza. Owners were really friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be back ASAP. Everything was top quality, nicely presented.
Friendly, personal service from Bob and his team. Really good food, great portions. Tried the BLT sandwich - excellent!
Our first visit to this "little gem", what a great choice! Plenty of carparking for our mid week visit.
The service was great, the food, freshly prepared and well presented. Called in for lunch and chose sandwiches & a pot of tea. The bread, both white & granary was tasty, both the fillings, tuna/mayo & ham & cheese were very generous and delicious as was the garnish.
Definitely worth several return visits!
The place to eat! Hands down the best breakfast I've had. Large portions, fresh food and amazing service. Don't worry about price or waiting time reviews that some people have put. Worth every penny, proper food. Waiting time is actually not that long, portion of food shows why you feel like it may take longer than regular food.. This isn't regular food, it's quality food.
Great service, great quality food and great hospitality. You have to pay for good quality food and always at a high standard. Recommend

Booked this venue for a Baby Shower and WOW what an incredible place!! From the moment I booked it the contact and organisation of the baby shower was brilliant and then on the day I was blown away! They'd decorated the venue beautifully and the food was incredible! Every sandwich and cake was delicious and the staff were so attentive! Can't wait to go back! Highly recommend this venue for everything and anything!! Thank you so much to everyone we had the most incredible baby shower!!

I originally booked online the 12.30pm slot for afternoon tea as I was travelling to Cheltenham for my mums birthday. I was unable to have this time due to a private hire. Sophie apologised and even offered to make my mum a separate little cake for her her birthday. We arrived today and were not disappointed. The food was fresh, very well made and tasted amazing. Sophie came out and spoke with us and even gave us the scones that didnt quite make the cut after baking along with the promised birthday cake. The only slight criticism I had was the menu. I picked this venue based on what the spring to winter menu was and the only thing that matched that was the egg sandwhich. Thankfully we liked everything and it tasted so good. Lovely tea room and amazing food. Thank you Sophie.
Took my mum for her birthday.
Booking is recommended.
Our table was ready for arrival and the food was great and well presented. Lovely touch of a birthday cake, too. Staff friendly and helpful. Would thoroughly recommend and would definitely return. Thank you once upon a tea room.
Due to 18 people for afternoon tea and NOT the wedding option. The food was good but I have had better for less. My niece who organised the decorating for the table was not told there would be a change for chair coverings. So we were charged £4 each extra for chair coverings that I had not approved.
Went to celebrate my 60th birthday.
The food was great and well presented. Very fresh, the best scone’s I’ve ever had. Lovely touch of a birthday cake, too. Owner was friendly and helpful. Would thoroughly recommend and would definitely return.
First time ever having afternoon tea. Great little place with great tea and food. Would greatly recommend! Staff were very accommodating with my wife's dietary needs. 6☆☆☆☆☆☆.
Superb afternoon tea this afternoon with two of my closest friends. The sandwiches and cakes were all very light and freshly made. The scones were still warm when they were brought out. All tables were in use, but the staff were attentive, polite and busy but in left us to enough the experience. Thank you to all at Once Upon a Tearoom.
We had the most amazing takeaway afternoon tea! We took it to eat in the nearby park (we’re not local) and the lady that served us told us how to get there and another spot to go if it was busy. Absolutely delicious. 10/10 would come back again.

Patisserie
Le Patissier Anglais is a must-visit for pastry lovers in the Cotswolds. The owner, Carl, creates delicious and beautiful pastries that rival those found in France. His custard tart is a favorite among visitors, but there's a wide selection to choose from. Carl's training at La Gavroche in London and experience working in Paris shines through in his delectable creations. The pastries are not only mouthwatering but also great value for money.
So, here we are almost one year after sampling Carl’s amazing pastries. My son, daughter and I STILL text each other photos of the pastries we bought at your place. And, STILL the best bakery I have ever been to! THE BEST BAKERY IN THE WORLD!!
Steve C — Google review
Absolutely spectacular. Certainly the best dessert I’ve had in England. Just like I walked off the streets Paris. Carl is fixing everything right in front of you. Get there before he runs out. I purchased two items and I
was only going to take a bite and then save the rest for dinner. I sat down in the Square and consumed both of them immediately and Went back for two more. Great place
I would have posted photos, but. I ate the pastries they were gorgeous, the egg tart, had the thickest filling ever, with lovely pastry surrounding it.
My partner had the éclair, with chocolate filling, she said it is the best thing she has ever put in her mouth.
Next time I am in stow, I will make a bee line for this wonderful shop.
I consider myself somewhat of a pastry connoisseur (😉), and I must say that the pastries at Le Patissier Anglais were truly out of this world! The owner, Carl is such a nice guy also and we enjoyed talking to him for a while. I wish I got a picture of the delicious and beautiful items that we purchased, but I was too anxious to eat them! We did get a picture of the cute package they came in. If you are in the Cotswolds, this is an absolute must visit!
Fantastic pastries, and very welcoming experience. Owner took the time to explain all the different options; helping me make the right choice - with lots of different options to choose from. Will definitely return!
We love this place and always visit whenever we plan a trip to the Cotswolds.
Like many others, we have travelled a bit in France and fell in love with their patisseries and boulangeries. Le Patissier Anglais is a little slice of that, but much closer to home. Our favourite is the custard tart - though we usually buy a selection to pick from!
Karl is lovely to speak to every time. Be sure to order in advance, as things disappear very quickly!
Found this gem on my holiday in the Cotswolds.
Bought some extremely beautiful
and delicious quiches and pastry on the day before last of this business. Friendly owner who I hope will one day set up camp near my home. Enjoy the well earned rest.
Really amazing place! Everything is baked and served by the one person, who works very hard and trained at La Gavroche in London, and had also worked in Paris. We initially ordered a cake each and a drink, and then ended up ordering another cake each! They are delicious. A treat for the taste buds! Super value for money too. Will be back! Can't recommend enough! Try the Mille Fieulle and fruit mousses.

Lovely and friendly tea room right on High Street in Tewksbury. Loved the scones! They were able to do a nondairy latte for me.
Lainey C — Google review
Tea and scone was delicious, but the clotted cream was too cold and hard/clumpy. Made it hard to spread over the scone. Also, the interior of the cafe did not match the description - very sparsely decorated with circus-like decor. Despite the cream being hard, there was the proper amount of jam/cream to scone ratio.
Splendid day out in sunny Tewkers. The lack of a decent swirly thing on my ☕️ was made up for by two really fit....... sorry, I was forgetting my manners....... two delightful young ladies who served me. Lovely bit of crockery as well. Carousel (You'll never walk alone.)
Excellent cafe our favourite in Tewkesbury. Brilliant service and friendly, polite staff. Great quality and well priced food and drinks. Our 3 children love the cakes, milkshakes and excellent value ice cream trays. Very pretty courtyard and dog friendly too. Amazing cooked breakfast!
Me & my friends wife purchased four (two each) scones here today. To take away.
When we got home & went to eat them they were so hard we had to put them in the bin. Stale is an understatement!!! Absolutely disgusting they must have realised this surely! Never. Ever go here again.
If you have the taste buds of an old grandma then you'll love it here. It seems this is what its aimed towards. Missing items from the menu , staff are rude / standoff-ish and they look like they dont want to be there giving a bad vibe from the start. Flies everywhere inside and the toilet is filthy with no hand towels or dryer working. The actual food is low quality, slapped together by people who dont know anything about food or how to cook. Everything tasted bland and just no love put into it. Very strange place. If the prices matched the quality you wouldnt mind. Such a shame. Establishments need to start putting some effort into their menu and presentation , quality of foods. Reminded me of a greasy diner...
Had quiche and salad which was very nice. However the washroom could do with a good scrub. Loo and basin were clean but the room looked as though it hadnt been touched for ages despite notices asking users to wash their hands!!
Dust being quite thick in places. Definitely yucky.
Definitely recommend! Me and my partner came here for a Friday lunch, booked a table over the phone and the lady was happy to accommodate ☺️ Our table was ready for us when we arrived, we had a tea for two and some toasties. Absolutely amazing price, only coming to just over £15 for two people. Customer service was great, the whole team are lovely people. One massive selling point is definitely the tea, the cups and tea pot were gorgeous!
Thank you Carousel Tea Room, will definitely be returning! ❤️

KNEAD Cirencester is a charming gem in the beautiful town of Cirencester. The cafe offers a variety of delicious treats, including famous glos old spot sausage rolls and almond croissants that are packed with flavor. Despite being busy, the staff remains friendly and accommodating. Visitors can enjoy mouthwatering baguettes for lunch and an array of pastries.
A gorgeous bakery, great quality products, and lovely staff (shout out to Jake and Joe) My nan had the sausage roll (she said it was the best she ever had) I had the confit garlic foccia (amazing) and the truffle, chesse and mushroom danish which was stunning and with a genrous truffle flavour.

The food here tastes as good as it looks. Very yummy and well priced pastries and bread sold from this bakery. Shop is a takeaway and located in the popular strip of circenster. We had a yummy sandwich with focaccia bread and brought some pasta del nada, canele and sausage rolls to enjoy at home.
Great bakery. Staff were helpful. Best to go early to get the items freshly baked.
Absolutely delicious! We always stop here whenever we’re nearby. The pastries are fresh, beautifully done and incredibly tasty. Also, the coffee is great! One of the best, friendly bakeries we’ve been too. Lovely team. I’d highly recommend!
We visited Knead in Cirencester close to the end of the day, and the manager was so friendly, helpful, and kind. The pastries were absolutely delicious, and we enjoyed their hot cross buns at home over the next two days; they didn’t last long! We are only here for a short time when we visit our son and his family, but going to visit Knead every time we come!
Just happened to walk past and see the pastries in the window. Had a cookie, maple and pecan roll and a pistachio roll.
All of them absolutely delicious. Will definitely return if I'm ever in Cirencester again
My Girlfriend and I were walking past and spotted how amazing all the pastries were in the window… we had to try them. We got a sausage roll, harissa and tomato bake, goats cheese and pesto bake and finished it off with the most explosive chocolate brownie doughnut to exist. All of the food was incredible and our server who helped recommend everything was amazing. We didn’t get her name but look forward to Knead opening in Oxford.
Amazing sausage rolls, delicious Bakewell tarts, sticky fudge brownies, and strong coffee! The perfect bakery in Ciren. There are a few stools and tables to enjoy your baked treats.

Nestled away on the top floor of Montpellier Courtyard, Lazy Graze is a delightful tea room that promises to be your new favorite spot for relaxation and indulgence. This hidden gem offers a cozy atmosphere where you can unwind with locally sourced food from independent vendors. Whether you're in the mood for an exquisite afternoon tea or a savory platter, Lazy Graze has something to satisfy every palate.
Finally, food that is worthy! The cappuccino is excellent! Not bitter! I had the avocado and mushroom breakfast! Simply the best ever since I arrived in Cheltenham yesterday! Friendly service and super cute and cozy surroundings! They have shakshuka!

Called in for breakfast. Lovely atmosphere in the cafe with a warm welcome from the server. I had the small small breakfast with the optional scrambled egg. All the ingredients were high quality and cooked well. In particular the scrambled egg was superb. My coffee was also of a high standard. I highly recommend this charming spot.
this tea room is perfect for having lunch with family & friends😊 it is so cute and cosy. the outdoor seating is really nice too when the weather is good. our coffees, sandwiches and cakes were all delicious. the atmosphere is very chill and relaxing as well. unfortunately there was no almond or soya milk as they are usually our go-to milks, but this is only a minor detail and comes down to personal preference! overall thanks for the delightful experience x
Our first visit was on Easter Monday for afternoon tea and what a treat it was.
We'd seen the good reviews and fancied a cream tea somewhere we hadn't tried before.
I booked ahead and I'd advise you to do the same. You can choose between an afternoon tea and an afternoon platter, the latter has a more savoury bias, or you can choose from the excellent menu. Or just pop in and enjoy a drink and one of the tremendous home made cakes.
You can see from the attached photos just how good the afternoon tea was. A good balance of savoury and sweet. Great sandwiches and toasted chicken Caesar wrap and delicious home made cakes (of which the Terry's chocolate orange cheesecake was definitely the star!).
The atmosphere is chilled and relaxed and we took the time to check out the breakfast and lunch menus, which we will definitely be going back to try.
Our experience turned a nice afternoon into a lovely one.
This is a one off café/restaurant run by a lovely couple who deserve all the success that comes their way.
Nice lunch here in March.
Couple of sandwiches and area and bottle of water.
Sandwiches were good.
Tea was weak, but otherwise all good.
Just wow! Incredible breakfast this morning in Montpellier. Vibrant flavours with the toasted cherry tomatoes on the avocado eggs, the sour dough bread was amazing. Customer service was excellent, very accommodating & served with a smile! Will definitely visit back here when we come to Cheltenham again.
lovely spot for some breakfast. delicious coffee and the avocado and mushroom on sourdough was excellent
Lovely café situated in The Montpellier Courtyard, immaculate inside and out (we sat outside which had plenty of outdoor seating and cover too)
2x Latte (lovely & strong)
1x Banana Berry Smoothie
1x Lazy Graze Smoothie (both really good, and a decent size for the price too)
My wife had Shakshuka (we have eaten this at a ton of places including overseas, plus I make it at home…and she said it was the best she’s had 😭 haha, very good though, she loved the bread with it too, it had a lot more substance than other recipes and it was truly great, loved how it leant more on the curried spices than the paprika)
I had the Eggs Royale and the Salmon was delicious with perfect poached egg
We both said we are excited to come back and try the Full English Lazy Graze next!
Considering everything we ordered and the very high quality of everything, we were amazed at the reasonable bill, staff were very welcoming and will 100% be going back!
