Sherfield on Loddon is always good for a coffee stop.

A delightful coffee stop, especially after their post-COVID restructuring, which includes plenty of outside seating (with shade parasols). Choice of coffee and cakes is good. Very popular but I've never not been able to get seated. And, it's open all day on Sundays, which is quite unusual. If there is any negatives, it is location! Positioned very close to the busy A33, it is best accessed from nearby much quieter lanes with a short detour. Riding on the A33 is unpleasant!

Highly HIGHLY recommend this place. I'm usually underwhelmed by cafe stops, but this place absolutely nailed it! Super friendly, efficient staff; delicious food in big portions (I couldn't even finish my sandwich) and plenty of places to rest your bike with lots of outdoor seating, which even has heating so you don't have to worry about getting cold! Excellent

Nice and cosy place for a coffee and cake stop. The decor is simple, but tidy, light and sympathetic, now equipped with trasparent screens between tables for Covid protection (a sign of the times, I guess). The shop, sharing the building with the Post Office (but now with separate entrances, again for Covid protection), offers a nice selection of cakes and tasty savoury food. There are also a couple of very basic bike racks (nothing to write home about or trust leaving your bike locked to out of sight) and a dog-friendly seating area outdoors (not in use at the moment), which unfortunately is just on a crossroads.
