We had planned to have an afternoon tea at this lovely little café while visiting Newbury. We…read moredecided to go for a quick lunch, a couple days before the planned afternoon tea. Well, it was a good thing we did, since we didn't get to go back for afternoon tea... Just as the name suggests, it is located right by the canal. It was very picturesque, peaceful and relaxing. They also have seating upstairs, and had histories on the canal, with photos posted all around the wall. Their cakes looked amazing, but I decided not to order any dessert on this day. Yes I know, a big mistake! Our friend ordered Heavenly Hot Chocolate, and it looked so pretty! We went with Teashop House Blend Tea, and Earl Grey. The young boy who brought the teas (I hear this is a family-run business) was trying to very careful not to mix them up. But the funny thing was, he totally mixed the tea up! LOL. We didn't realize until half way through... I thought the House Blend tea tasted so much like Earl Grey. For lunch, we had Ham, Cheese & Chutney Sandwich and Eggs Benedict. They were both tasty, nice portion, and filling. Our friend went with something healthier, and ordered one of their vegan sandwiches. It is nice to have that option if you want or need vegan dish. We had a nice quick lunch here. It was adorable and cozy. The food was good, not amazing, but good. I think the sweets might be better than the actual food...I will never know, unless I go back! Lesson learned: don't never expect your plan to go just the way you planned them...and have your dessert first!

It was busy, so you could tell that it is a popular spot. It is set on the river that runs through the village so you can enjoy your breakfast while the water slowly flows by you. This area and the cafe are beautiful. The staff were very nice, friendly and helpful. Even though they were very busy, they showed no signs of being annoyed or overwhelmed. They seemed genuinely happy you were there and eager to make sure you were happy with your stay. We ordered the sausage rolls and a Cornish pastry and they were very good. I'm sure there are a lot of amazing restaurants in the place, but you would not go wrong stoping by here to grab a coffee and a bite to eat.

Throwing Buns is a new café & sandwicherie based in the centre of Abingdon. With free wifi and a…read moreclassy, retro-themed interior, it's an intriguing and rather bold addition to Abingdon's cafe scene catering to a range of different markets: workers looking to buy lunches, tourists in search of a refreshing coffee and cake, or internet surfers looking for a quiet spot to while away a few hours. To this end, it's well-located in the shade of the 19th century Abingdon Museum (from whose bun throwing, as Abingdonians will know, the cafe gets its name), enjoying views of the town's marketplace. I stumbled across Throwing Buns on a hot afternoon looking for a drink, but after one look at the resistance-crumbling array of cakes, soon found myself contentedly gazing over the marketplace with a slice of lemon drizzle cake and some excellent Fentimanns ginger ale. The prices were reasonable and the service from the owners was friendly and attentive. Overall, this is a welcome addition to Abingdon's generally uninspiring cafés: if you like your atmosphere relaxed, your style retro, your cake yummy and your coffee fresh, this place comes highly recommended.

Abingdon is filling up with coffee shops and you have a huge number to choose from (especially…read moreconsidering the size of the town). Throwing buns is now one of our favourites. Nice coffee and a very decent selection of sandwiches & wraps. They are now (it's winter) also selling a daily soup special and baked spuds (only a small oven, so you have to grab them early). The interior is lovely but it can get a wee-bit warm in there (low ceilings). Comfortable seating & a variety of table sizes for groups or couples. There is a loo hidden downstairs. The staff are very friendly and always welcoming. I would give them 5 stars if it wasn't for the fact that service at the till can sometimes be a little chaotic but that has a lot to do with the small working space they have and the number of bodies moving around. Not dog friendly but there are a handful of tables outside. Google "Throwing Buns" to find out why the shop is named so.
