About The March Hare
The March Hare is an independent tearoom and cafe at 16 The Oxebode in Gloucester, serving Ethical Addictions coffee from Gloucester's independent coffee roaster. The kitchen makes its cakes and scones by hand and uses local products where possible. Bread is baker's bread, delivered fresh each morning. Breakfast runs from light plates to porridge, and lunch is served as well. Afternoon tea brings sandwiches and homemade cake, with scones, clotted cream and jam, and a pot of tea such as Earl Grey. The family-run team looks after the room. Dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often come back to the scones and afternoon tea, with a fruit scone described as crumbly, a scone with clotted cream and jam called delicious, and an afternoon tea praised for tasty soft sandwiches and homemade cake. Close behind is the coffee, where one reviewer rated a mocha among the best they had had and another called the coffee delicious. Porridge, breakfast and a pot of Earl Grey that arrived quickly also earn mentions. The staff are described again and again as friendly, welcoming and attentive, and several say it feels like a family-run place where regulars come and go. Value comes up repeatedly, with one reviewer comparing the mocha favorably to chain coffee prices and another calling the visit cost effective. The reviews raise no real complaints. One diner who wished for more time in Gloucester said they wanted to explore more of the menu, and another said nothing was too much trouble when an afternoon tea was freshly prepared.

“I went into this lovely place for the 1st time this morning around 7:50am and the lovely lady was so polite , I ordered a Mocha and to me it’s one of the best ones I’ve ever had . Better than paying twice 2 / 3 times the price at a Starbucks or costa. Definitely worth visiting and I’ll definitely be going back and telling my friends about this place,”
