Service 10/10 - The staff is very friendly and attentive.
My recent breakfast experience at Shed was fantastic. I ordered avocado toast, which was delicious, and was pleasantly surprised to receive two slices of sourdough instead of the usual one. The staff member was incredibly helpful, preparing our food quickly as we were in a rush to catch a train. In a generous gesture, he even gave me a complimentary piece of vegan chocolate cake. I will definitely return to Shed the next time I am in Reading.
This charming café offers a menu that is half vegan. It would be wonderful to see this place transition to being completely vegan! I tried the Terry vegan toastie and I highly recommend it.
Great food, lovely friendly staff, excellent location

As soon as I walked in I felt welcome. People people. The upstairs was a lovely place to sit and write my postcards after breakfast. This Place used to be an old forge, the wooden beamed roof and bricked walls still there. Cosy. Food: The best soft scrambled eggs on toast I’d had in a long time, and hot. The marmalade tasted like oranges instead of the usual sugar. Loved the crockery. But mostly the service and I will go there as often as I can when I’m in Reading. Thank you to Pete, the owner.
Awesome atmosphere, seating, service, and food. I absolutely love this place! Big fan of the toasties and desserts especially.
My wife found this cafe as it had great vegan options. I was having a hypoglycaemic episode when we arrived and the lovely chap serving seemed to understand that I needed my food quickly. The food was very tasty and the place had an excellent vibe. We didn’t sample the cakes this time but they looked impressive. Was a great experience and lots of food options for people with varying diets.
Lovely Cafe in beautiful Reading. Looking for brunch after travelling out of London, and awaiting a rental car, this place served our needs well. I thoroughly enjoyed my kimchi fried eggs and coffee in a nearby park. Friendly staff, wholesome food.
We visited for breakfast and had a vegan toast with avocado, mushrooms and salsa. Food was lovely, coffee was great and the staff and atmosphere were relaxed and informal. Good food, good value for money. Good vegan menu. Worth a visit.

We only had breakfast in Shed, I had one of the toast and was yum, two slices of sourdough instead of usual!! The chap work was really helpful to get our food ready quickly as we catch a train and he even gave me a free piece vegan delish choc cake. Will go back the next time I'm in Reading.
I love how cozy and homelike feeling. I ordered the shed club sandwich and chocolate cake. the cake is very cloudy and moist on a very tasty wise. the sandwich is fresh sourded. extremely crucifixing, soft inside. a good cut huh. at least one inch thick. crisp eisbergsalat. juicy tomato slices. it was like sour with salt and pepper. I have decided to add to him and what a perfect decision that was. it was a really delicious sandwich. a high recommendation.
Beautiful small café with half the menu vegan. It would be great to see this place completely vegan! Had the terry vegan toastia and can highly recommend :
Went in for a quick bite with friends after collecting them from the train station. Absolutely brilliant service, and the sandwiches were delicious. The coffee was great and there were as many milk options as you could want. We managed to get seating indoors which was quite cosy, but not too cramped. Will happily call this a new favourite in town for a bite before heading out anywhere.
