Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Lovely little coffee shop, situated right outside Cheltenham Spa train station (2 mins away). Enjoyed a bacon, Brie and cranberry flatbread. Was delicious. Great way to pass a long wait for a train.

Our train was late then cancelled. We decided to try the Green Coffee Machine for a rest and coffee. Friendly service, lively atmosphere and nice drinks.

We stumbled on The Green Coffee Machine by accident after walking the Honeyborne line. First, and most importantly - it's dog friendly and our Cockapoo was given a warm welcome. We opted for coffee and flat bread toasties, both delicious. A thoroughly enjoyable experience :)

We had brunch here everyday on our recent visit to Cheltenham. Just lovely sitting outside watching the world go by. Really lovely coffee and beautiful bakes. They’re not cheap but there was an offer on when we visited. A clean, friendly and well run cafe...close to the railway station. Thoroughly recommend.More

Great stop just before the train station. Everything I had was really yummy. But service needs work. It was busy but not smiles, no greeting. Ignored my staff after a few orders, a simple with you one moment won't go a miss.

Lovely place to sit for a coffee while waiting for a train. Friendly atmosphere and great service combined with a lovely pot of tea for a reasonable price.

I was set next to the customer who wrote the last review titled “not a place to conduct an interview” and felt compelled to write a response. The customer was obnoxious from the moment he walked in. He certainly didn’t “ask politely” for them to...be quiet. He turned around and shouted aggressively across the room. The whole coffee shop sat stunned. No way to treat anyone, let alone people simply doing their job. Here’s an idea for you - if you require silence to conduct a job interview maybe don’t do it in a coffee shop? GCM Coffee is an excellent, friendly coffee shop where the staff know many of their customers by name. Their cakes and flat breads are awesome too. Try the “pepperoni pizza” flatbread. It’s a taste sensation!More

exceptionally noisy indoors, mainly by the staff! one member of staff was stamping piles of cardboard cup-holders right behind us and we politely asked them to stop as we could not hear each other speak at the table. What did the staff do? Carried on...stamping loudly at the other end of the counter and start clanging crockery etc. the employee stamping madly was later outside on a call so it clearly wasn't time critical to stamp cardboard there and then. Real shame as the location is handy but cannot recommend it for a relaxing coffee or meetings with colleagues etcMore

Could not recommend the coffee here more! My friend and I were out for Saturday walk so thought we would just pop in for a quick coffee as a break... Dairy free section was impressive and service was great :) Big thanks to the Brunette...guy who served us! He made a decent coffee and our cold walk worthwhile.More

Wait outside for them to open as per sign on door but although staff inside nobody even came to the door to say that a short delay in opening would take place. Myself and another lady just walked away. Not customer friendly at all!!!
