Farmhouse Bakery & Cafe - Abingdon

Enjoyed a lunch here with family. Good food and friendly staff - I had the chicken burger which was really tasty - nice crispy chicken and good chips with it. The cakes and bread look great, and its really cool to look through the big internal windows to the working bakery.

This is, very much, a review of two halves.

The good: the food was tasty (we had two mini farmhouse breakfasts). The bacon was gorgeous and nicely smoked, beans weren't dry, the toast made with fresh farmhouse bread (if anaemic for my preference).
The building is new, purpose built and spacious with tables on two floors. Several highchairs for families.
The staff we spoke to were friendly.

The not so good: the place lacks character, the unadorned walls are a bit sterile.
The service was disappointing, it took 20 minutes to get drinks (an apple juice and pot of tea). There were no vessels so the server fetched a glass, and then had to be asked for a cup for the tea!
The food arrived after 50 minutes. A quick visit for breakfast this was not!

Value for money? Not really. Two mini breakfasts, pot of tea and an apple juice will set you back over £18. The price point is a little high, even for good quality ingredients. But given the area and size of the vehicles outside, it's not necessarily too bad for their clientele.

Would I recommend them? Yes, for the food. It's certainly a yummy treat and hopefully you won't have the wait.

Excellent breakfast. Amazing modern oak timber building. Great to be able to see the kitchens. Plenty of people popping in for bread and also food.

Truly delicious - warm chocolate brownie with cream. Having watched the bakery being built over the past few months it was not disappointing to finally visit. A beautifully crafted building and of course delicious cakes. What a treat!

What a lovely cafe... the food was freshly baked/prepared that day. The quiche was excellent, so tasty with a "melt in the mouth" texture. The flapjacks were great (not rock solid) and the staff were super friendly. I opted for tea and my children had coffeez. Apparently iced coffee is rarely asked for, but the staff were keen and made it. It is not the cheapest but definitely worth it. The building is lovely too. I will go back and happy to recommend a quaint cafe!

Recently opened establishment in a nice new building. Inside is spacious and airy, nicely furnished in a rustic style, but somehow lacking a bit of character. Perhaps some flowers on tables or art on walls would help.
I'm sure the location will develop its character over time.
Staff were friendly but seemed to still be finding their feet and needing cohesion.. again time will be their friend here!
We arrived there at around 1pm for lunch. The menu is adequate but not extensive, and we were a little disappointed there wasn't an all-day-breakfast option; but we enjoyed our choices of the Farmhouse Platter and Open Smoked Salmon Sandwich . The coffee was particularly good too!
There were a couple of minor issues we noted which I will pass on in a direct email to the owners.
Overall we were happy with our visit and will definitely return and recommend to friends.
Not quite a 5 star place yet, but definitely has the potential!
