About Brown Bag
On Denmark St in Wokingham, Brown Bag is a coffee shop open daily on a self-service, walk-in basis, with customers finding their own seating. The menu runs to 20 dishes, including a Latte, Flat White, and Soya Mocha alongside food such as Pancakes. Lunch options extend to salad boxes and wraps, with gluten free and allergy-friendly items like an egg and cress roll, fruit, and vegetable sticks usually available. Cappuccinos and coffee arrive with a little plate and spoon, and hot chocolate comes with a choice of chocolate powder or sprinkles on top. High chairs are set out for families with young children, and outdoor seating gives an option for eating outside. Food and drink are also available to take away.

Customer Review Summary
The complaints are specific. Two reviewers say they were turned away over a dog, one with an 8 week old puppy in a carry bag and another who had been served with their dog multiple times the week before. One says staff watched without helping as they struggled to get a buggy through the door. One reports dirty tables and toilets without toilet roll, another found the disabled toilet out of use, and one latte arrived with foam as thick as a cappuccino's. One reviewer reports diarrhoea after eating a tuna melt.

“Really nice place, comes across as quaint but modern. Good food at a price that wasn't too bad and away from the blindness of Costa and Starbucks. Some good taste in music too.”
- Rachel Vasey
“It's always a pleasure to visit Brown Bag in Wokingham. The team are always very pleasant and the drinks are great. Thank you for the three milkshakes you prepared for us this afternoon. They were delicious as always. Highly recommend!”

“I came in for a tuna melt and honestly I haven’t felt right since. I’ve had diarrhoea ever since eating it and just feel really awful. I don’t know if it was a temperature issue or the quality of the food, but something definitely wasn’t …”
