  “Absolutely loved this adorable little gem tucked away in the heart of Blockley, yet another enchanting Cotswolds village! My avocado toast was delicious, and the gluten-free sweet potato cake was absolutely incredible—such a treat! The café itself is full of charm, with a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you want to linger a little longer. Definitely worth a visit if you’re exploring the beautiful Cotswolds!”

  “Best breakfast we’ve had in a long time! Visited on our way home from our holiday and am so glad we did. Staff were great and the downstairs seating area was dog friendly which was perfect for us. No complaints at all.”

  “We've been using this cafe for several years. The food - lunch, supper outstanding, highly imaginative, tasty and well presented. BUT during our visit July 2026 we were shocked by the prices. £11.50 for soup definitely OTT and £45 for supper too much for a retired professor! However when in my beloved Cotswolds next (from whence I came) I will go for it. Overall Craig and Jamie you do a brilliant job..keep up the good work!”

  “Due to decent reviews we thought we'd give it a try. 2hr free street parking near by. Outside is a well worn no parking area which some appear to ignore. Let's divide this review into 3 sections. Decore/ambiance Nice and fresh looking with table and chairs seating approx. 18 in front of the counter and another 20 upstairs where there is a balcony overlooking part of the down stairs. Food I would say 9/10 for the food. Only because the soup I had appeard to have been watered down and lacked seasoning but, everything else was excellent. Cheese scones especially were great. Service. I'm afraid this was a let down. Although we saw lots of intriguing items on the menu which we would have liked to have tried while in the area, we decided not to return because of the poor service. Why? We decided to sit upstairs and waited for a few tables to be cleared and wiped down. I say wiped when all it got was a figure of eight dampened smear. We sat, ordered drinks and perused the menu. Time went on and no one came up, not even to clear tables that had vacated. Eventually I went down explaining it wasn't clear if orders were taken at the table or at the counter. The waitress did apologise saying she wasn't aware we were up stairs. I thought that a change of shift might have explained the miscommunication but no, the two same girls were the only two front of house since we arrived. Food was served and we were asked if we would like any sauces and my wife asked for mayonnaise. None came. During the meal, due to the open connection between downstairs and up, conversations could be heard with staff chatting away with a local customer who decided to share her medical history with all, including having lost 3l of blood in childbirth! At no time were we asked if everything was OK with our meals. In fact, no staff appeared upstairs well after we had finished our meal. We decided on finishing with 2 drinks but still, no one showed. Eventually I went down and both staff were just stood behind the counter, one sucking on what appeared to be a vape. I ordered the 2 drinks and went back up to wait. The drinks were delivered and our table only part cleared of the used plates. We expected her to come back and complete clearing the table but no, we had to juggle things around to make room for the 2 drinks. On completion we went down to pay. If service charge isn't included, as in this case, we usually leave a 10% tip. I noticed a tip jar for cash on the counter but the pay machine also offered the customer to include a tip by card. Regretfully, I selected to add a tip. Did I get anything by way of a thank you from either of the staff? NO. In short, these two individuals do not have the skills to do this job correctly- it was as though our presence and patronage was not appreciated. There was no attention to detail or propper waiting on tables. They appeared to have been given the most basic of training and gave the impression they had only been in the job a week or two. My advice? Don't sit upstairs- you will be forgotten. Tourists apparently unwelcome. Next door shop probably missing a trick not selling their cheese scones.”

  “Our 2nd visit to this cafe for scones and they were as good as the first time. Best scones we've had in the area. Coffee is lovely (bought the pods) and the 2nd time we visited it was in the heat wave so all had a fruit presse which really hit the spot. Air conditioned too which was a major bonus that day. Scones are warmed so ask if you don't want them warm.”

  “The first 5-star shop during during this trip. The food was delicious, we love all the dishes. Focaccia has a very good texture (forgot to take photos) ham, squid, fries, and salad was great too. The staff is also very very nice and helpful. Such a cozy atmosphere and very chill to spend time here.”

  “Hey, I recently moved in Blockley, and had couple of meals at Blockley Café, everything delicious, well presented and hot, fair prices for the area. Thank you for the good service and atmosphere. Staff welcoming, kind and patient. I'll definitely come back. I bought the Blockley honey which you find it on the shelf in the Café, very good one too. Recommended.”

  “This cafe has been one of our top highlights in Blockley (which kept us coming back 4 days in a row). We love the fresh artisanal food that’s prepared with much care by the chef and team. Blockley Cafe’s hot chocolate with cream is the best we’ve ever had. Also highly recommend the buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup and back bacon, sweetcorn and courgette fritters, chorizo hash, smoked salmon sandwich and burrata salad with black figs and pistachios. What a delightful feast it has been! A big thank you to the team at Blockley Cafe!”
