About Ryans Cafe

A heated courtyard sits at the back of Ryans Cafe, a café in Boothville, Northampton, giving outdoor seating that comes into its own over summer. Inside on Boothville Green there is a sit-in area with toilet facilities, and high chairs mean families with young children can settle in. The counter serves coffee and tea alongside hot chocolate, with cakes to go with them and breakfasts cooked through the morning. No booking is taken, so customers simply walk in and order. A step-free, wheelchair-accessible entrance keeps the café straightforward for visitors with mobility needs. Opening runs daytime only from Monday to Saturday, with Sundays closed. A garage stands nearby, and drivers often walk over to wait while their car is being worked on.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the coffee, with one calling it better than Costa and another naming a mocha as the best in months, while a matcha and hot cocoa also draw praise. Close behind is the food: breakfasts described as hot, delicious and ready quickly, plus a sausage roll, a samosa, cakes and a chocolate brownie. Staff are repeatedly called friendly, and one reviewer mentions borrowing a phone charger after a car breakdown. Several mention the outside seating, with heaters and courtyard space, and a few compare the cafe favourably with Greggs while their car was at a nearby garage. A loyalty card for a free coffee also gets a mention. The one critical review comes from a regular who says a large hot chocolate arrived only a bit over halfway full at full price, and that an older man at the counter gave only about ten marshmallows on the side, unlike other workers who fill the cup to the top.

  • Julie Knowles
    “My daughter and I were having a day out together and just wanted a coffee. We always try to find a local, independent coffee shop and found this little gem. The staff were friendly the coffee and matcha were very good. Although we didn't have food the cakes on offer looked delicious and the menu offered a nice selection. Looking forward to going there again and having lunch. Lovely courtyard seating out the back.”

    “I’m sorry to say this but I don’t have a choice the service there is rlly bad for me. Right so the old man that works there is so greedy. We always get marshmallows on the side and the other workers always fill it up to the top but the old man only gives like 10 peices then when ordering an hotchocolate I didn’t get any marshmallows this time cause I think it’s a waste as I’ve stopped getting mashmellows but in the hotchocolate for large ones im expecting for it to be full at the top but it’s actually full like a bit over halfway like what a scam and u charge full price aswell!!! Im sorry but im never going again there might aswell spend my money in another cafe that DOESNT scam me!”
  • Kelly Webb
    “When we had an expensive morning hitting a pot hole. We walked here after dropping the car to the local garage. Staff were super friendly. Had a charger I could borrow. Was clean and welcoming and the food was delicious and HOT. (I HATE cold food especially beans on a breakfast) was a good little find thanks to Google.”
  • Louise Hubbard
    “I dropped my son for an interview and looked to find a coffee shop near me. This one came up. It is the BEST coffee I have ever had. Very reasonable and the staff were super!”
