Food is nicely prepared and cooked fresh. Menu quite extensive from cooked breakfasts to bageuttes, nachos, burgers and even roast dinners on a Sunday. In the evening the cafe changes to a restuarant with a more upmarket menu.

Brilliant, hidden cafe - well worth seeking out…read more Excellent coffee and teas, gorgeous home-made cakes (try the toasted banana bread with peanut butter), soups, salads and friendly service by people who know what they are talking about. Food is vegan - but with cake like this I could be converted. Ambience is clean, white (if that's possible?) and very peaceful. Wallingford is always good - but a visit here makes it even better. Dogs welcome in a room upstairs - appreciated by the many dogs (and their owners) in the area..... PS Mind the main road as you step out from the cafe...

You can even pull up your boat at the moorings in the small marina. On a nice sunny day the outdoor lifestyle comes into its own with also plenty of space for a child to get up to mischief, all under supervision of course. Indoor seating is slightly less abundant than that of outdoors but is clean, well laid out and flood with natural light. My favourite local place to take a lunch, the food is light and nothing too overbearing. Wine by the glass is a much loved service as well, speaking as a better standard of café. The only detraction would be that it is highly overpriced for the food. You can easily spend more than you would for an evening meal whilst you enjoy a sun drenched riverside lunch. For example, the 'pizza' is a half baked baguette melted with cheese. They of course have a slightly higher standard of topping such as red onion jelly and goats cheese. Still, it is essentially an oven ready bread with cheese. For the fifth star the price either must plummet or the standard of food on service must improve. I would break down my rating as three for the location and up a notch for serving Sauvignon Blanc by the large glass.

I had the eggs benedict which was very good but a big plateful. My guest had the vegetarian breakfast which went down very well. We sat in the conservatory which was warm and filled with light, albeit a little rustic in comparison to the setup and furniture in the main cafe. Criticisms: it's a bit of a bunfight to get served at busy times. You have to order and pay for your food at the desk first, and it's a bit disorganised and slow. You think you're next in the queue and then you find you're not. There is no shortage of staff but there's no real system for serving people. The tables are bare so you have to obtain your own condiments and cutlery. The mayonnaise had to be requested especially as it wasn't with the others (presumably as it's in the fridge). The tables weren't cleared quickly enough between diners. Despite this it's still worth 4 stars and I'll definitely be back.
