They mark everything as homemade, but whose home since there's no oven on the premises and nothing is baked there? I wanted a really authentic experience for a pastry calorie bomb, but instead, got mediocre supermarket grade snacks at a premium. I was appalled when the cabinet I was sitting next to popped open and I saw Eccles cake--the same as what was plated in a Saran-wrapped plate right on the sideboard above the cabinet--individually wrapped in manufactured plastic packaging, and TESCO SUPERMARKET BRAND chocolate chip cookies also neatly stacked in mass production packaging. But on the other hand, I guess it's pretty authentic since locals eat it? Further souring the experience was when I asked where the scones were actually from and I found out the bakery the server said did not even exist, which felt very dishonest. Also, the scone was microwaved and had a spongy, mass-produced American biscuit taste to it (think KFC with raisins). They had no idea what type of cheese was even in the sandwiches, either. The cakes are supposedly locally sourced, but at this point, I find it difficult to believe anything said. The jams they sell up front are not what they use in the food, either. The food wasn't really awful, but save your money and get the real deal elsewhere. You're paying for the ambiance, but not much more, but Broadway is a bit of a Cotswold tourist trap, it seems. So sad I went out of my way to come here. Biggest disappointment during my whole trip.

Soup of the day and a scone, some tea, and a lovely Bakewell tart for under £15 was a fantastic deal. The soup was a wonderful spinach-courgette-leek blend - thick & hearty - served with a fabulous cheese scone. There was a bit of a breeze in the air today and it was perfect. Unfortunately, the attitude of our server was generally unwelcoming. Perhaps it was the American accents, as others have mentioned, but we both work in the service industry and are hyper-aware of how we treat restaurant & retail workers. Maybe she was having an off-day, but she seemed pleasant with others in the establishment. She was very nice when we were paying and leaving though. ::shrug:: I would definitely visit here again since the food is exceptional!

Had some chocolate flavor and tasted good with milk. Hubby ordered Mac and cheese and it was served piping hot with a slice of garlic bread. Pretty good too! Kiddo ordered hot chocolate with marshmallows and a chocolate cake. The cake itself was soft and moist and not overly sweet. Went well with the tea and hot chocolate. The hot chocolate seemed standard and she seemed to like it. The place is not overly pricey for a touristy place. Service was also good and friendly.

Fortunately there were some empty tables for us to enjoy morning coffee. It was very lovey, inside and I was not disappointed. I had a genuine British tea experience with creamed tea and clotted cream & jam with scones (photo). Service was given cheerfully and promptly. It's not a very big space inside, but I think the patio seating area made up for it on a nice weather day. It was really too bad we couldn't get in there (you can probably tell I'm still sort of sore about that). It was overall a great British tea experience for all of us. If I lived around here, I'd come back for some more. Highly recommended.

Everything was delicious and made in house (easy to taste that nothing came from a tin).
