As it seems, there is the same number of tables, but the owner has added gel to the hands. When we got here, I wasn't too busy, but they didn't have anywhere inside that could sit us 4 and a dog. They have a small square of garden in the back where we sit. We're so glad that the store started filling up pretty fast. The owner was charming and friendly and talkative. They also serve great coffee. However, it was not a safe place to be in with Covid 19. Definitely without social distance.I was trying to get back from the bathroom and couldn't get through 2 tables without asking people who were sitting to move.It's a shame.

A pleasant surprise in the village of painswick, dogs were made very welcome, we only had drinks but it was nice, if not a little chaotic. read more A pleasant surprise in the village of painswick, dogs were made very welcome, we only had drinks but it was nice, if not a little chaotic.

Our pooch Lola is quite an excitable one and was allowed off the lead in the cafe to play with ”Toffee” the resident pooch! The service was quick and the gluten free cake was delicious. The owner is lovely and spent time with us talking about the local area and where best to visit so much so we are coming back in November!! See you then! Lola dog and her family x

Being gluten free, how could I pass it up? It was excellent. I even had almond milk in my cappuccino!

We have eaten a lot of cake, and drunk plenty of coffee around the UK and abroad. read more We have eaten a lot of cake, and drunk plenty of coffee around the UK and abroad.
