   What a gem of a cafe! My wife and I had afternoon tea at Cafe 1850. We received a warm welcome and shown to our reserved table on the first floor with a beautiful view of the memorial garden ( you need to book afternoon tea in advance). Our tea/coffee order was taken and our food arrived - home made quiche, sausage rolls, a selection of sandwiches, warm scones, cream and jam, and cakes. More tea was available. This was a memorable experience with wonderful food and great service.

   Great coffee. Lovely selection of cakes. Haven't tried the food yet, but from what I've seen served, the food looks really good as well. And the gardens at the church are beautiful. A nice little oasis to take a break :)

   An afternoon where I am left feeling very proud of my ex colleagues. I visited Rich Beeby and Roxanne James to explore their new venture on Barrack Road. Cafe 1850 unsurprisingly oozes energy, ambition and wonderful customer service as this was at the core of their approach in our days working alongside each other at Royal and Derngate and Northampton Filmhouse. This lovely cafe was created virtually from scratch. Spotless and modern with a lovely vibe. It is a lovely little setting next to the Cathedral and is only 15 minutes walk from the town centre with good parking. I love a good homemade soup and the tomato soup with cheese toasties worked a treat. Still had room for a Lemon drizzle cake that was moist in texture and saturated with flavour. There are some great ideas being floated for special evening promotions. Well done Rich & Roxanne. I am proud of you. *****Update****** Visit 31/5/25 Afternoon Tea for my partner and I. Exceptional food and service.

   Lovely breakfast with my family here today, food was of really high quality and they catered for me being Gluten Free no problem! Even the lovely cake selection had Gluten Free options which I normally can’t join in with when eating out with the family, so it was definitely refreshing and appreciated! Everything was really tasty! Super clean and friendly what more can you ask for, thank you :)

   This a perfect little gem if a cafe, wish I'd discovered it sooner. I have a dietary requirement and finding a cafe that is all geared up for almost any scenario is amazing. They cater for vegetarian, vegan and celiac. Their cauliflower soup (vegan) was super tasty. The cafe is light clean and spacious, ideal for anyone with wheels. There are only 4 tables, but there is more seating upstairs for the more mobile. Toilets on the ground floor are easily accessible and roomy. The staff are more than friendly and willing to sort out any dietary needs you might have. All in all you really shouldn't pass up on a visit to this little gem.

   Excellent cafe. Came here whilst waiting for my car in a garage nearby. The cakes were amazing and the staff really friendly. Will be coming back here to try more of the menu for sure.

   Great cafe and wonderful food, I have been a few times now, the menu selection is great and caters to any tastes. The cakes on offer are absolutely beautiful as well, along with the fantastic coffee. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming - I will definitely return and will continue to recommend this gem to others.

   What a fantastic looking cafe tucked off the main road in a lovely location. It's open to all and I would recommend popping in, it's very clean and bright, with lovely decor and bits of artwork on the walls. Loads of space down stairs and it has an upstairs. Staff are friendly and really keen to help. A good (and I hear with plans to grow) selection of food and drink. The food was absolutely lovely, great quality and the coleslaw was a great extra and I think home made!
