Coffee house in Reading

“Now a fantastic cafe, great coffee and cakes..”

“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.”

“I had very kindly, warm and professional service from Soulef! She made my day much better, before l have my delicious Costa Coffee ! :)”

“Marzena and the other lady (dont know her name) are exceptionally great at their job and are the reasons for the success of this branch. Very friendly and nice customer service, would highly recommend”

“Great Costa, very cosy and comfortable place to grab a coffee, located in the Princes Mead shopping centre in the middle of Farnborough.”

“I would like to share my very positive experience with the team at Costa Coffee in Reading Train Station. The baristas are always extremely professional, friendly, and polite, creating a welcoming atmosphere every time I visit. The quality of service and coffee is consistently excellent. A special mention goes to the manager, Natalia, who leads by example — she is always kind, attentive, and manages the team with great professionalism. You can really feel that she cares about both the customers and her staff. Thank you to the whole team for making every visit such a pleasant experience!”

“I always love getting a starbucks and this is my favourite branch it's so easy to grab a coffee before or after shopping or before a long work shift. The staff are extremely friendly and polite my favourite is a young lady called Honey who is always polite, welcoming, friendly and as sweet as honey (XD) i always see this place busy so definitely worth a visit”

“Had a nice walk and then a club sandwich. It was very nice. Lots of shouting children and parents unable to control them which is a pity but generally friendly and welcoming.”

“Nice new coffee place with lots of space and also located in town centre !”

“Good ice cream, friendly staff. Free parking available.”

“Emanuel was fantastic today. He served a perfect cappuccino and tea for us while having great conversation while we wait. Definitely an excellent place to stop when he’s about. Welcoming, professional and funny.”

“We have been using Routes Coffee for the last three years at our large scale exhibitions in London. They provide three coffee stations across three floors of Old Billingsgate Market. We have over 1,500 delegates each day with unlimited coffee all day. Our delegates never have to wait long for a drink, which with back to back meetings is great for our delegation. I can honestly say I look forward to having their coffee every time. As a local company it was very important to use a company we could trust and are local to us and Routes are just that company.”

“Me and my family love Dee Caf and have been enjoying the coffee, toasties, cakes and friendly service since they first opened. Great for babies and children and tired parents. We recently asked Tina to cater for our 4 year old’s birthday and they really went above and beyond with the themed sandwiches and fruit platter. Beautifully displayed canapés and samosas with incredible dips for the adults. Super tasty and fresh. Fantastic looking, delicious cake for a very reasonable price and all delivered by hand to the party venue locally. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!”

“Wonderful staff especially Ula at Reading Bridge House. She is always so welcoming and friendly and provides such exceptional customer service. The food is always 10/10 and always provided with a smile :) xx”

“What a gem in Reading…so nice to visit an authentic little cafe that isn’t part of a large chain. Was warmly welcomed with smiles. I had a delicious hot chocolate and bought some Italian pastries. This place has a nice selection of Italian treats and pasta, sauces and more. Will come again next time I’m in the area.”

“Food was absolutely lovely, nearly everything has a non diary option, with everything gluten free which is rare to find! Customer service couldn’t have been better, both were very kind and friendly - we look forward to coming back!”

“We try steak double cheese pie and lamb mince pie, not bad,gravy also recommended”

“We stopped here for brunch (it was very busy) and it was really great! Staff were lovely and food was good! The portions were huge - I had the Bougie breakfast and the French toast was so YUM! High chair provided for our baby. Would definitely go back.”

“Stopped here for a coffee and sandwich and was really happy with my order. Coffee was really good, and I really enjoyed the sandwich, which was filled very well with plenty of sauce. Would highly recommend for anyone living local.”

“Incredible cafe/ restaurant tucked away next to Reading Uni. Great customer service and remarkable food. Sensational taste and brimming with authenticity this cafe combined Western food with Mediterranean cuisine in a fantastic manner. Fair prices as well, will DEFINITELY be returning!”

“Such a cute and delicious shop! Loved that all items are GF, and so so tasty!!! We ordered 2 sandwiches, a lemon meringue and iced teas, and a scone. Everything was so good!!”

“As great as ever! Been unlucky with timings recently - always best to check the website to make sure its open. The best coffee in Reading and really tasty food that arrives before you expect it! The owners are absolutely lovely, they really care about the people who visit, if I lived in Kennet Island I would definitely go every day it was open, 100% worth a detour to visit if you live remotely near Reading. :)”

“A seriously cute and gorgeous tea room, well worth making a beeline for! I had a cafeterie coffee which was delicious and used a good a good quality coffee. Although I didn't have one , the range of well priced cakes look awesome! Although inside was gorgeous and also a mini shop, sat outside in the sun on their patio overlooking the fields and farm animals. Loo was good too! lol”

“Delicious sandwich and carrot cake, nice cafe atmosphere. The only slight downer were unwatered dying plants”

“Lovely team running this bijou cafe. Delightful views across the field towards the River Thames. The cakes are delicious. My Victoria Sponge cake was brilliant.. Definitely having another slice next visit. Plenty of outside seating, widely spaced (for social distancing) and same inside.”

“A hidden gem! Second time for my wife. Spent a lovely couple of hours creating a Christmas present for the grandparents with a tea and hot chocolate. The lady running it was very helpful and has twice now helped paint the baby’s hands and feet as we were struggling! Definitely recommend.”

“I love this Cafe! After almost a year of daily morning visits I've finally decided to write a review. They make exceptional coffee and their baked goods are always amazing. Pop in to meet some friendly staff and a good laugh.”
