Coffee house in Reading

“Some people like what they do; these guys are passionate. A huge variety of roasts and beans from around the world. Extremely knowledgeable staff and the owner is the roaster. If you love coffee, Workhouse would love to give you what you want.”

“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.”

“A really lovely coffee shop situated in Primark now sadly closed. Wishing the staff all the best. Will visit some of them in John Lewis in Reading. Insomnia was a great place to sit, unwind, relax, read a book whilst having coffee or watch the world go by in Broad Street.”

“Visited Costa and had a great experience! The atmosphere is warm, and the staff are excellent. Special thanks to Barista Marcin and Kusum for the perfect coffee. My cortado was spot on. Thanks, team, for the great service! I’ll be back.”

“Great service every time. Free parking outside the store, hands free sanitizer on entry, socially distant queue markers on floor, outdoor and indoor seating - if sitting indoors be aware they are tracking and tracing. Currently have summer drinks menu which is has a great selection of milkshakes and iced drinks.”

“I have always popped in here every weekend in the morning for breakfast. I always go for either matcha latte or functional latte. The baristas are always nice and happy to help. Love that the atmosphere here is good, never too loud or busy.”

“Was searching for a place to have breakfast and stumbled upon this little gem here! This cafe exudes warmth and friendliness. Perfect spot for a cozy catch-up or a serene solo moment. A true neighborhood treasure ^^⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Food served was incredibly fresh and flavorful. I’m definitely becoming their regular customer! Looking forward to try different dishes on the menu:)”

“All together we had a great dinner family time. We ordered a starter and 2 juicy burgers for us adults and kids eat free during school holidays which is kind and nice from the restaurant, especially for families with kids. Even if one of the burgers was not the way it was meant to be, the branch manager apologised and kindly replaced it for my wife and did not even charged for her entire order, including the drink. That was both polite and going above and beyond, as this can be a point of deciding if you ever come back to a restaurant based on your experience, and it all falls on the way the staff (including management) approach the issue and find a swift solution. Reason why we scored 5 stars and we thank Tillie for finding us a table last minute even if we had no booking on a Friday night.”

“Best Shawarma and food with fresh ingredients, freshly cooked to highest standards with professional and friendly service from the team. We have been ordering food from this place for years and it ha always been great with taste, pricing and service has been consistently excellent. Thank you to all of you for doing an awesome job. We often forget to leave the review but I just wanted to highlight the great work from everyone. I would definitely recommend everyone it’s a hidden gem of Reading”

“Coffee#1 in Wokingham offers a charming and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for unwinding. The coffee is rich and flavorful, with a variety of options that cater to different tastes. Their pies and sandwiches are freshly made, delicious, and perfect for a quick bite or a leisurely meal. The cozy setting, combined with the beautiful quiet, makes it an ideal spot to enjoy a peaceful break from the day. Whether you're there for a chat or some solitude, the place truly stands out for its warmth and quality offerings.”

“Such a lovely shop and team to match. A customer was so rude to the team this morning and they dealt with it so patiently and respectfully. How someone can get upset over a hot chocolate is beyond me! Fantastic shop, best coffee shop in Reading for me.”

“I had a takeaway coffee and sausage bap both very nice there seems to be quite a lot of seating. Friendly staff and good service”

“i am always served by patrycja and she is lovely! my drinks are always made quickly and are always lush. will be going back!”

“Basically I start my day with the coffee and I prefer AMT among other cafe. I love the salted caramel and how they make it make a difference. Staff are very friendly and with this new scheme of “bring your own cup”made a huge difference on price also for the environment. I am glad how you guys treat us with NHS discount as well. Overall I am very satisfy with the service”

“The coffee is just amazing I love the taste and the great aroma.”

“This independent and unique coffee shop, has an erray of cakes and pastries to eat, as well as a selection on drinks. Very resunably priced. You can potentially get a lot for your money, however does not have much seating Situated near the Water Tower in Tilehurst, it is really easy to get to. Although there is no obvious var parking available, the No. 17 bus stops are just outside the door.”

“What a great place! The look and feel of the cafe is lovely!! Fab menu, great environment .. Chicken tikka is the best I've tried!! Had a sandwich to takeaway. Well done to all of the team! I will be back, for a jacket potato, as saw a few of those being served & they looked lovely..”

“Nice friendly place including staff smiling”

“I really enjoyed my Costa coffee experience, the staff and management were so polite and kind. I had Ben serve me, he was so helpful as I couldn’t decide which drink I wanted. I definitely would visit this Costa again.”

“Today at 10.30 I visited for the first time with my husband Costa Cafe in Pangbourne,Reading. We were fascinated by this cafe. The staff was extremely friendly and worked professionally, they were constantly cleaning and serving the tables, the cafe has very nice outdoor tables in front of cafe and back of it. I recommend it to Costa lovers this cafe and I have definitely saved it as a favourite place.”

“Amazing experience with both baristas today - shout out to Vlada! Usually struggle finding places to have milkshakes/frappes due to allergies. The two staff members at this starbucks were so supportive, they washed the equipment, walked us through the allergy document and explained everything through and through! Rare to find such amazing service honestly great employees.”

“Went there to do some work and have a meeting. Coffee is always good, and the banana cake was great also. The most I was impressed it was the genuine service we received the guys behind actually know what a great customer service it is . The only thing I don't like is the car park in there is limited to 3 hours, and it's not their fault. Usually I work on the computer and meetings can take long and it's frustrating to stay with this stress that's why we left other wise I will spend most of the day there as the staff are really nice.”

“Manager fantastic and the staff excellent Service outstanding I recommend all people likes coffee’s just go there really nice and fast service 10/10”

“Lovely spot to have a coffee with a great outdoor seating area overlooking the lake. We only had coffee so can't comment on the food, but the coffee was strong, flavourful and nicely made, with good service. Nice to have the option of only ordering a small size, for a reasonable price too.”

“Excellent coffees today - thank you Brandyn for taking such care and impressive latte art.”

“The coffee is as expected from a large chain. Costa is my coffee shop of choice and this one suits my journey some days. The staff here are very helpful and the guest areas are always clean and comfortable.”

“My experience at Costa Coffee was great! The place was very clean, and the furniture arrangement created a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The staff, especially the lady who took my order, was very friendly and welcoming. I ordered an espresso, and it was absolutely fantastic—rich, balanced, and exactly what I was looking for. Interestingly, I’ve had espresso from this location before, but it wasn’t as good. This clearly shows how much the barista’s skill affects the coffee’s quality. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Nice coffee and vegan sandwiches for a quick breakfast. Great location with a canal view; really enjoyed it!!”
