Empire Cafe - West Berkshire

This charming cafe is well worth a visit. The oak beams add to the period charm and the welcoming service provided by the staff. Definitely worth a visit

This is a good place to stop and get something to eat if you come into Newbury from the railway station or the south of the town. From the cafe at the pack they serve a splendid home-cooked traditional breakfast to order, and there is the advantage of getting a nice cake from the bakery counter to take away for later!

This café has a lovely traditional ambience and a wonderfully friendly staff. The choice on the menu is impressive and better value for money is difficult to find. Cup of tea for £1.00 is not to be laughed at. You will not get a gourmet five star meal here, but come for the curious decor and enjoy a good traditional meal of a tea.

My partner and I love to come here for brunch, I honestly never realised the cafe was in the back of the bakery (even though there is a sign stating the Empire Cafe! but do recommend it, I really like this place so much, and its even kid friendly.

We found this cafe on trip advisor as we were looking for somewhere that was open early on our way to south coast now little chef at tot hill had closed. The staff were really friendly and helpful but the food was just ok. The tea though was awful and the coffee tasted of something really cheap. They had a good selection of bread and cakes on show for sale. It was nice to see somewhere that opens early and for that alone they deserve real credit.
