2023 AWARD WINNING!! What an awesome little coffee and sandwich shop. First time I've tried I had bacon, sausage and Egg roll and it was so nice, with a latte and it's really good tasting coffee. I also got my lunch at the same time. Coronation chicken and salad roll. The portion size are amazing. Staff really friendly food really good. definitely worth the 2min walk from town to get food and drinks from here. Outside seating area and limited space inside tho.

Had lunch here 2/1/24, great service from staff, very friendly and polite. I had a cheese and ham panini with an oat milk latte. Absolutely no complaints at all. Will definitely visit again for lunch next time I’m in Gloucester.

Wonderful local neighbourhood cafe. Excellent coffee, freshly cooked home-made food and unbelievable value. Run by Donna & Steve - excellent hosts - and a great team. Home made quiches (quite a variety!) are scrumptious! A real community asset, and a focus for the neighbourhood. We are lucky to have this little gem - seek it out, just a few minutes' walk from The Cross.

Outstanding service, our usual caterer let us down, and we called The Square, not only did they get the Buffet done for us in time, it was much better in terms of quality and price to what we used to get, so we now use them.

Popped in today, had a fabulous ham salad bap , probably one of the nicest ever. Gorgeous bap, very good quality ham, and nice fresh salad. Excellent coffee too. And didn't have one, (silly me!) but they also do an amazing range of home made sausage rolls, scotch eggs and savoury flans which look gorgeous!

Lovely find , beautiful food kind considerate staff I visited 28/1/25 on a cold day after a computer class before visiting an elderly client with a tight time frame . Nothing was too much trouble they set me up a table inside as I'm a bit short for the bar stool bench

First time visit and the positive reviews are spot on. We had bacon and egg rolls which had high quality ingredients and were yummy. Coffee (latte) was also excellent. Friendly service. Will visit again the next time we're here.
