Good food and location

Small cafe in a lovely position in the centre of town. Toasties were lovely, good hot chocolate, friendly and attentive staff. Much better atmosphere than Costa or Starbucks.

Great place for a quick cuppa

Love this place. Guaranteed a friendly welcome and if the sun is shining, there's no better place to sit and watch the world go by whilst having a cup of tea.

Worth the detour off of the A34 into Abingdon to get a coffee.

When travelling down the A34 I detoured into Abingdon for a coffee and cake stop. I found 'Throwing Buns' and got a Latte and Banana Cake to go and it was fabulous coffee and nice cake. They had plenty of tray bake cakes to choose...from and the interior decor was great, a shame I was taking mine 'To Go'. Staff were friendly and prices reasonable. There's outside seating as well which would be great on a nice day to sit and sip coffee, nibble cake and watch the world go by. Highly recommended.More
