Lovely dog friendly cafe with great walks across Minchinhampton common or Rodborough common right on the doorstep of this beautifully converted old pub in the Cotswolds.
Stopped to enjoy a nice thick sandwich which was generously filled with good quality ingredients (had a bacon, Brie and cranberry sandwich) which came with crisps and a fresh side salad for £4.00. A nice cup of coffee cost only £1.50 (I had a flat white - which came in a large cup so I suggest asking for an extra shot if you're not offered when ordering or you may find it a bit weak depending on your strength preference).
This was followed by a few cakes which we shared.
The cake stole the show. Counted 11 different homemade cakes ranging from traditional to complete indulgence. (Options which were dairy free and gluten free on offer) There were also 4 types of cheesecake that looked delicious also, but after the sandwich would have been ambitious.

The cafe is NOT recommended for people on a diet! Once you get in you will feel tempted to try all those home made lovely cakes and pastries. Believe me I tried... I failed. It was delicious. Go there, give it a try! Do some jogging...
Read moreWhat a fabulous find! We had a rather disappointing day in Stroud, but a short drive away and we found the Halfway Cafe for lunch. We are a 3 generational family, myself, my daughter and 2 small grandchildren. We ordered bacon, brie and cranberry paninis, and drinks. Our 4 year old and 1 year old grandchildren were given drinks and snacks and allowed to amuse themselves with toys. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. The cakes looked fantastic, but we didn't have space. Maybe next time.
We will be back, even though its an hour from home.
Thank you from Anne, Victoria, ...
