Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Customers rave about the great coffee and tea selection, highlighting them as standout features. The desserts receive similar praise, with guests often recommending the delightful toasted currant teacake. The fast service stands out during busy hours, ensuring that even when the cafe is at full capacity, orders are handled with skill. Many patrons appreciate the generous portions of food, making it a great value for money. Plus, the casual atmosphere makes it an inviting spot to relax with family or friends. Collectively, these elements create an appealing dining experience that keeps locals coming back.
Most Disliked
Some guests mention the cash-only policy as a minor inconvenience, especially in this digital age where contactless payments reign supreme. During peak hours, particularly on Saturdays around noon, the diner can reach full capacity, leading to longer wait times. A few reviews mentioned that while the food quality remains high, there are instances of minor slowdowns in service during these busy times. Those looking for a traditional dinner experience may find the lack of dinner options limiting, as the lunch period sees far more popularity.

Popped in to Barley Box today for the first time. I had the mini breakfast, a mug of coffee and asked for a sausage to take home for my dog. The food was perfect and quickly served, the place was clean, the staff were friendly and efficient. The best fiver I've spent in a long, long time and I'll definately be calling in again!

I had a mug of tea and toasted currant teacake. It was superb. Tasty, fresh and hot. Plenty of butter to fully coat the teacake.

Superb cafe. It's always busy no matter what day - in a quiet town that tells you all you need to know. I went today and the food was lovely - honest, fresh, tasty, well presented, swift - and not pretending to be anything it isn't. Service is impeccable and it's very keenly priced. Cash only - which I think is great.
