  “Still the best café in Thame. Always the best service. Top notch coffee and the most delicious (and most importantly) homemade cakes and pastries. I brought home both a cookie and the basque cheesecake today and they were both delicious (too delicious to wait for a photo). It’s great to eat fresh, high-quality food in a time when so many places ship in ultra-processed crap.”

  “An amazing place for breakfast/brunch, the prices are very reasonable and the food is very tasty! My only gripe is that it’s seriously cramped on busy days. The table I was sat on was next to the wall and my arm had no movement room because the table was so thin.”

  “Kali Cafe is a true gem in Thame. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a calm, welcoming atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. It’s clear that kindness and care are at the heart of everything they do. The food is outstanding—fresh, vibrant, and full of flavour. Whether you’re plant-based or not, the menu offers something genuinely satisfying. The cakes are exceptional too—beautifully made and clearly baked with love. Service is friendly, attentive, and never rushed. It’s the kind of place you can settle into for a relaxed brunch, a quiet coffee, or a catch-up with friends. Highly recommended if you’re looking for thoughtful food, a peaceful vibe, and top-quality cakes in the heart of Thame.”

  “I’m not a vegetarian but WOW!!! This place is incredible for its fresh vegetarian food, refreshing drinks, smooth coffees and exquisite homemade bakes! The menu is TASTY! And the food is immense too ;) One of my favourites to have is the Squeaky Sando; grilled halloumi, roasted red peppers, pickled slaw, rocket and aioli in a toasted bun. It’s SO GOOD! The Kali garden cold drink made my tastebuds tingle with joy! It was one of those moments when on the first sip, my eyes widened and instantly saying “mmm! That’s good!” I had to have another! The staff are so lovely and friendly, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you Kali for exposing me to a wide range of delicious vegetarian food that I’ve enjoyed trying to replicate at home, thank you for you for your service and thank you for always showing kindness and love!”

  “We are so blessed to have this fantastic independent cafe in our town. Exceptional food, the best coffee for miles around and the nicest team & owners you could hope for. The sort of venue google needs a special 6 star category for. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
