What Francis C likes about Boswell Son:
I was in search of a morning coffee and possibly a cake, and stumbled upon this quaint spot that seemed perfect for a quick break. I was not disappointed. Although primarily a bakery, it also serves as a cozy café. Customers can choose from a variety of cakes, pastries, and pies on display, and also have the option to order freshly prepared filled rolls and baguettes. The coffee was just right and the cake I selected... View all feedback. What 524grahamd doesn't like about Boswell Son:
.I called in for coffee and cake (and a brief rest) whilst cycling through. The staff members were cheerful and service friendly. This is a small an unpretentious cake and sandwich shop that has a small interior seating area. I had a coffee and scone and was asked if I wanted the scone cut open and buttered. When I replied 'Yes please ' I was then asked if I meant both! The scone was cut in half and had been buttered but, judging from the flavour, I suspect margarine had actually been used. Prices were reasonable enough This is OK for a drink and reviver but is nothing special.

A great selection of bakes, breads and savouries and very friendly staff. The sausage rolls are the best!

Nestled in a quiet corner, this unpretentious café primarily operates as a bakery, offering a variety of pastries, cakes, and freshly prepared rolls. While the intimate seating area is limited, the welcoming staff adds warmth to the experience. Though some baked goods may not meet expectations, the hot drinks are consistently praised for their quality and affordability. Customers appreciate the cleanliness of the space and the attentive service. Ideal for a quick coffee break or a casual catch-up, this spot stands out for its charming atmosphere and delightful baked offerings, making it a hidden gem worth visiting.
