    Lovely little coffee shop and cafe. Spotted it while out for a ride and got the perfect lunch. I'll certainly be taking the family back at some point and I really want to try the cake!

    A great community buzz. We stopped here as a mini detour off the A47 having never been to Castor before, to break up the journey. We had tea/coffee/hot chocolate and scones and a sausage role. Delicious. I highly recommend this place. Cosy, friendly atmosphere with beautiful decor, good quality and tasting food and drink with much variety. There are also some great local things to buy if you want. We will stop here again on the way back I think.

    Stopped in for a coffee and cake, it was scrumptious, with great service. It's a pity I don't live closer.

    We had walked from the ferry meadows campsite through the country park which the campsites are in,through meadows to castor the 3 pubs in village 2 were closed and one being worked on. We found this lovely cafe had a full english breakfast and tea from a teapot ( how quaint) and at a reasonable price staff were polite and cheerful. Would recommend highly.

    Great little cafe to go past if you ever visit Castor / Ailsworth , good coffee and selection of cakes

    A pleasant independent cafe with a nicely varied menu that both the bacon person and the health conscious will agree on! There is seating across the road on the grass as well as outside seating in front of the shopfront and indoors. Some come for a meal, some to hang out, some for a quite cuppa or coffee. Parking in a layby outside is quite limited. 4 cars?

    Quiet unassuming village coffee shop catering for breakfast and lunches, does good business with the locals, and invites passing trade with a warm welcome. We have a friend who stays in the village, and speaks quite highly of the shop,always happy to recommend a visit.

    Beautiful little cafe. Always stop here when out cycling. Staff are so lovely nothing too much trouble. Back today for first time since end of last summer. Nicola always remembers us and greets us with a friendly smile.

    Market Deeping Town Council Christmas drinks and party. Excellent buffet. Very friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Jonny H. 1 year ago on Google
    Still love coming here, great food and drink options with delicious cakes too. The additional tables on the green are great if you're out cycling too. Great to see they've updated their menu with more savoury food too, although they could do with a better heating method for the sausage rolls to avoid soggy pastry.

    If you want a good coffee, but a change from the "usual suspects", then this is a great short diversion off the A47.

    I visited the coffee house when I came to Peterborough to visit my family. It was one of the best coffee houses ive been too! Local and cosy - living in Amsterdam, you dont find such places hence I absolutely fell in love with the place. Great coffee, great cakes! Would definitely come here again on my next visit to Peterborough.

    I brougt my polish friend for coffee today. Before we came, I called asking for a gluten free fresh cake, the lady said they were available, but it wasn't there. Very long waiting time for only coffee and outside sitting. Bad service. I don't recommend. Very disappointing.

    This place is amazing. We have taken items away several times but we decided to sit in and booked a table for the next day. Unfortunately on the day our little ones nursery was unexpectedly closed due to staff illness so we took our two little ones with us including our 3 year old Autistic son. He did not settle well and was upset by the noise of the coffee machine. The staff were absolutely incredible. They really made an effort to help him settle and they were really helpful and friendly. They warned us every time they turned the coffee machine on so we could help him with the noise. The food and drinks were amazing, really fresh and excellent quick service. I was blown away by this place and would definitely recommend it

    A lovely, cosy, cute coffee place tucked in the beautiful village of Castor. Our cappuccinos were good, though I prefer with less foam. Cherry Frangipane with Cream was excellently baked. Smiling helping staff, just need little improvement in serving food on time. Overall a great experience and will surely be visiting again.

    Booked a table for 2 as recommended. No prices on the menu which I find difficult to budget, fortunately cost was not important that day but I like to know what I am letting myself into. Quite expensive which is what I expected with no prices on show. Service slow on that day as wasn't sure of their order system. A very pleasant cafe with choice of eating inside or outside on the green. Very popular place. Bought some lovely cake to take home.

👍👍 Fantastic decor and atmosphere. Staff couldn't do more to help, were really friendly and attentive throughout. 2 for 1 on cocktails until 7pm, which is very good value. Quality of food good and authentic.
