Lovely people but truly horrible coffee. I thought because they had an expensive Italian coffee machine that the coffee would be good but it was like dishwater. yuk

Decent spot for a coffee and a sandwich

Coffee and sandwiches are fine and good value. Friendly staff. Nice outside seating area. Inside could do with a refresh.

Terrible!

Blaming a pay customer for using the toilet after they sanitised it at 16:00 ? Very interesting 🧐 I will never go again. Bye bye 👋

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
