Had a delightful lunch at this hidden away cafe, we chose a hearty soup of the day and a panini, extremely tasty and very reasonably priced. Probably the most reasonable priced in the area but in a beautiful location and tasty food.

Lovely cafe tucked away down one of Cirencesters many mews. We had the Cheesy mushrooms on toast which was delicious. Well worth a visit.

A delightful step back in time, back into grandma's kitchen and all the delights it held. Really nice people, a quiet spot to sit and set in a pretty little courtyard. The soup was hearty, the coronation chicken jacket potato had some mango zing and the cakes and teas were both honest and flavorful.

One of Ciren's best kept secrets! A fab cafe with the best of coffee and bacon baps! Tucked away in a wonderful setting dog friendly :)

Had a lovely family lunch here while visiting the UK. Tucked away in the most beautiful little space, I’d love to venture back on a warmer day to enjoy a meal and read a book at one of the outdoor tables. The staff were lovely the moment we walked in, this was some of the best customer service we received during our visit in the UK. I would highly recommend the walnut coffee cake most of all. It was moist, flavourful and the frosting was absolutely unreal! I wish Heather’s was local here in Canada to make it my regular spot. We tried the Panini, bap, hot chocolate, latte, mars brownie and Coffee walnut cake as I mentioned. Everything was a 10/10. You can taste the quality and care that goes into every item.

Bit of a hidden gem, and lovely to sit out in the courtyard in the sunshine. Staff are very welcoming and engaging. A simple menu has ample choices and food was very well cooked and presented, and more reasonably priced compared to other local cafes. Paninis were lovely but on the small side. Spectacular selection of cakes and treats... worth visiting for these alone!
