The staff are friendly, the music is at a mild level, and the decor make you feel like you're on holidaying in Italy.

This is a lovely little place and the original coffee shop in town…read more It's small and cramped - but that's all good. It lends to the atmosphere, and the hustle and bustle make you feel part of the family. Unlike Starbucks and Bloc, you can order real food here. Unlike the two chains, you will also come out with some change in your pocket. The location is great - central to the town and, despite the mega-corps massing on their flanks, this place shows no sign of closing down, slowing down or ever being anything other than packed to the rafters with punters. Definitely worth a visit if you're in town.

We stopped in for a light lunch. The staff were really knowledgeable about which substitutions they…read morecould make. We had poached eggs on GF toast with no issues. The Decaf Americano was excellent, but if I'd had not time I would have tried a slice of the GF carrot cake!

Came here for lunch on Wednesday. Although this place looks…read morewell set up and quite pleasant when you walk in, it's definitely a case of style over substance. The staff invariably brought the wrong order to every table, that I saw. They then had the nerve to tell me that it was because I had switched tables! It was a freezing cold day and they had the cold air blower on. Plus the door doesn't swing shut so lots of people wandered in and out leaving it open to the elements. Needless to say, none of the numerous staff rushed to close it, and there is no sign asking patrons to do this. To the fare. The hot chocolate was lukewarm. The chorizo sausage roll had obviously been out for a number of days and was dry and completely tasteless. On that basis it was probably quite horrible to begin with. I clearly had had only one bite when the server came to take it away. She made a passing comment about whether i had enjoyed but had already left the table without waiting or caring for an answer. You have a to order at the till. You can't ask any of the clueless staff to get something for you. Overpriced and underwhelming. I will not be back.

Well, let's face it. It's Starbucks. You know when you come here the menu will always be one that…read moreyou know intimately, the setting will be a replica of all the others you have seen and the people will be friendly and quick with your order. That being said I have no complaints other than I still confuse staff when I tell them to "surprise me". Mainly because I have no idea what any of the items are.

A curse upon every Starbucks blighting our fair country!…read more Situated in the centre of town, this branch is no better and no worse than the rest of the identical money-grabbing chain that is raping the third world. (Have you guessed that I'm not a fan?) The place is permanently fogged up in Winter and specializes in parting you from large sums of money in exchange for brown, insipid liquid that you can make at home for a fraction of the price. If you're feeling particularly dull, you can compliment this with an overpriced sandwich, soft drink or cake too. The service is smart and friendly, the interior comfortable and the chain a disgrace to all that is holy.

One of three major coffee shops in Henley, this one boasts a great location at the top of the…read moreMarket Place and also has table and chairs set out on the paved area - so you can get the full Parisienne experience of sipping over-priced coffee whilst watching the world go by. Unlike the evil empire of Starbucks, this place has become a bit of haunt for the local teens - so you may be included in a bit of Leev it aah Wayn. Eee aint wurf it! whilst you're trying to relax. Prices, as mentioned - and for all these types of places, are a little on the high side. Due to the constant attentions of the teens,the place could do with a bit of a makeover. Other than that though, there is nothing in this place to greatly offend.
