  “Cosy little place close to the cathedral. Yummy hallumi fries and various toasted sandwiches consumed on our visit, after we had queued for ages at the cathedral's cafe. Will definately return!”

  “What a wonderful breakfast spot in the heart of Gloucester. Perfectly situated almost beside the cathedral, this gorgeous old English café is full of charm, warmth, and character. The interior is absolutely beautiful, with traditional church pews thoughtfully converted into tables and seating, creating a cosy, snug atmosphere that feels both historic and welcoming. It is the kind of place where you instantly want to settle in and stay awhile. The “Famous Friar” breakfast was exceptional — beautifully prepared, generous, and absolutely worth the visit on its own. A proper traditional English breakfast done exactly right. What made the experience even better was the kindness of the staff. Everyone was considerate, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making the whole visit feel relaxed and comfortable from start to finish. A memorable spot with real character, excellent food, and lovely people. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Gloucester.”

  “What a lovely little cafe. Great choice, but not over the top. Lovely to be served with a big teapot unlike some places. Full breakfast was huge (well to me) but was perfect. My friend had French toast and that disappeared in minutes. The staff were friendly and polite. I would say the young gentleman was friendly.”

  “Looking for a coffee near the Cathedral I couldn’t resist the French toast. Lovely little cafe using old pews for seats inside with friendly and helpful staff. Stepless entry but toilets are outside round the corner. Dog friendly with outside seating.”

  “I've been coming here for a very long time as the food is spectacular. Plenty to choose from, good value for money with great portion sizes. It's such a cosy, unique place to visit with such impeccable service. The lady who runs this place is absolutely lovely and will go out of her way for you. It's so worth a visit in such a great location be cause you can leave an visit many quirky little shops or simply just visit the Cathedral close by.”

  “This is such a great little cafe! We holiday in Gloucester every year in November and found this place a couple of years back now. Since then its become a ritual that we visit for breakfast at least once during our holiday. Its a wonderful little place, right next to the cathedral in a quirky old building. Theres always a lovely warm welcome and atmosphere here which we really enjoy. The staff are smiley and friendly and manage the busy service well. The breakfast is always top quality, hot and great value and there are good options for those not wanting a fry up, including a vegan breakfast option. Theres 5 of us and a dog most times we visit with various dietary requirements and requests and the staff manage our complicated orders well and when we ordered an extra sausage for the dog it even came out already chopped up and cooled down ready for the pooch to eat! (We were quite impressed with that haha) This really is a must visit cafe to any Gloucester local or visitor, but its popular and often busy so we always book and would reccommend others do too!”

  “We tried this quaint little Tudor era cafe next to Gloucester Cathedral and we were not disappointed. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and the food was excellent. My dining colleague Rowan says this is the best English breakfast he's had in all our cafe reviews covering Cheltenham and Gloucester. 10 out of 10. It was £12.99 for a large breakfast, but this includes tea and coffee, so the price evens out to similar establishments.”

  “First time I've visited today and I'm glad I did. The breakfast was lovely. 1 of the best I've had in Gloucester if not the best. Lovely and quite unique inside. Lovely part of Gloucester and the waitress who served me was very friendly as was all the staff. Couldn't recommend it highly enough. Il definitely be making regular visits from now on!”

  “We went to this cafe for race week for the first time and now been back 2 more times since to try out the other meals. The breakfast was lovely, the beef roast dinner is delicious and our reaction when the Beef Burger turned up was wow! The staff here are lovely too and made us feel very welcome. They are dog friendly too and even put sausages in a bowl and water down for our little fury friend to enjoy while we were there. We can't wait to try out the Steak night soon Trish!”

  “We were in a bit of a hurry, which was our fault, not theirs, but the 20+ minute wait for two dishes when there was hardly anyone else in the restaurant put us on edge a little. The burger was pleasant enough, with an average patty. The generous chunk of blue cheese elevated it somewhat, and this was very welcome. The vegan breakfast was rather tired and lacking, and the eggs were overcooked with no runny middle.”
