Cafe in Reading

“Lovely little cafe with a good selection of hot and cold food and homemade cakes. It's small but perfectly formed with indoor and outdoor seating. The staff are friendly and helpful and the cakes are delicious.”

“I came here with my friend for her birthday with her little girl as well. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the food is amazing especially the desserts. The restaurant area is small so I imagine booking would be a good idea at busier times.”

“I went there for brunch with my partner on Friday 24th October. The food was great and the staff were lovely. Great experience will definitely go again.”

“My go to greasy spoon. Good food, warm welcome. Been going there in its various incarnations for 20 years. The latest team are great!”

“Visited Buensado for a family dinner and were thoroughly impressed. The food was excellent, with perfectly cooked steaks and great attention to detail. The spiral-cut rib-eye stood out as a highlight. A special thank you to our host, Radwane, who looked after us wonderfully. We’re already looking forward to our next visit.”

“Super friendly staff and a great selection of beers - and live music too!”

“We came for breakfast while staying with my daughter and it was a lovely meal. The staff were friendly and attentive and there was a lovely family atmosphere. Will definitely be returning.”

“Classic cafe, didn't disappoint. Would love to see some real coffee though.”

“A gem of a place! Beautiful, little cosy restaurant with lovely food and lovely staff. We ordered Nepalese Chicken curry, Fulka Rotis, Chilli Momos and Saag Palak. The food was yum. Everything was very fresh and tasted authentic. We also tried their Gurkha Beer, which was surprisingly smooth and light. The chilli momos could have been a bit more spicy though, but still good. The staff were very warm and welcoming. We had a delightful experience. Definitely recommend.”

“It is rare I don't manage to finish an English Breakfast. But I must admit my defeat, as the portion at Spoon Cafe is twice as big as normal. And it's good quality too! Also tried their Eggs Royale, very generous as well. And took some of their flapjacks takeaway.”

“Great location & welcoming staff. Loved the quirky interior”

“you get a lot of good food for a good price. what's there not to love. been coming here since I was a child and still great!”

“Nice place to have a coffee.Soft play area for toddlers. Bright clean and friendly.”

“We meet here every third Friday evening as a Christian fun youth group and we enjoy the space and facilities avialable to us. The rooms are well lit, kitchen is available to us too.”

“Arrived 15 minutes before closing on Christmas Eve and the service was friendly and polite! Breakfast was great and exactly what I needed! Thank you so much and happy holidays!!”

“The food and drinks are always delicious and the service is always friendly too. They serve freshly pressed juices and good coffee too (which is a god-send!), and if you haven’t tried their chocolate brownies you really should. I regularly bring attendees to my flower school here and they love it too.”

“A non-profit community cafe run by volunteers from surrounding churches. You can have home made cakes and many other snacks and drinks. The atmosphere is always warm and friendly.”

“Liked this place but opens too late for me. Would like to stroll up for breakfast and a newspaper, 8am would be a much better time. Would probably suit the older crowd better as they tend to be early birds.”

“Popped in for the first time. Service was great, friendly and genuine. Sausage rolls were very good and not too hot. A place I shall visit again.”

“Lovely and cosy place! Coffee is great and the staff are very friendly ☺️”

“This place is a hidden gem and the service from the staff is exceptional. Having had the best club sandwich I’ve ever had after a family stroll around the lovely lake over the weekend, I couldn’t help myself from coming back a few days later when passing by the area. Great place and my favourite of all cafes which is very good value for money and excellent food. Highly recommend this to everyone.”

“Very good coffee shop. Great choice of roast. Had an interesting and fruitful chat with the Barnstaple regarding the UK only, pitiful, flat white cup size. Reason is that I am now Australian and spoiled for choice for great coffee. End result, decent sized cup. Lovely coffee. I'll be back next time I visit the UK.”

“We had a function in the pub and it was a great experience. We had a dedicated function room separated from the main pub. The atmosphere both in the pub and in the function room are really lovely and the fireplaces give just the perfect place for a cosy dinner. Food was truly amazing. Great portions and quality food from the appetisers throughout the meal. Tagliatelle were cooked to perfection and the sea bass with the lemon sauce was mouthwatering. All through the meal, the sauces were just amazing. All the staff was really friendly and we had a great night out.”

“Excellent Karak Tea and Pink (Kashmiri) tea, full of taste and freshly made. Cheesy chips were good too but only one thing needs to improved which is potatos quality (suggestion). The taste of chips were not good(Dry) as it should be but all other things were awesome and delicious. Many thanks.”

“Boy, this diner took me back. Simple, inexpensive and efficient. Monster Full English was just that. Choice of tomato or beans, mug o’builders tea or coffee. All very generic but well cooked and served with care and a smile. Good, old-fashioned breakfast in a classic Greasy Spoon location on a main roundabout just over the river from Caversham High Street. Great when you’re in the mood.”

“New Management with great food. Melted camembert with garlic and Rosemary.........yummy. Vegan tart was delightful. Lovely setting”

“First time visiting and it was top notch. No frills, great freshly cooked food and the service and welcome were great! We will be back!”

“Really lovely place, very friendly welcoming staff, food was lovely and hot and fresh, superb bubble and squeak! The only downfall was, we waited 40mins for our food, now I don't expect fast food, I like a proper fresh cooked breakfast, and granted, this place was very busy when we arrived, but it might be worth giving customers the heads up if it's busy and telling them a rough wait time? Fortunately we had the time on our hands to wait, but had we somewhere to be we may have decided not to stay had we known it was that busy. That aside, the food was definitely worth the wait, staff work hard and all provide a good service, it has not put us off returning atall, just honest feedback.”

“Really nice breakfast. Very tasty, looked appealing. The coffee was delicious. The staff are very friendly. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable.”
