Such a cute cafe in Wolverton. Their coffee was very good, and the victoria sponge was delicious, seemed homemade. Very child friendly too. I'd highly recommend a visit!

Thank you for your review Corina. We are pleased you enjoyed the coffee. We use coffee beans from Honduras from local roaster Wooden Hill. All of our delicious cakes are made in-house. We look forward to welcoming you again soon.

Vegan afternoon tea
Had the most amazing vegan afternoon tea here
The food was incredible, the cheesecakes were the best food I've ever eaten
I would highly recommend to book here. At only PS20pp its very reasonably priced too
The staff are super friendly, helpful and accommodating
Free parking in the church car park opposite.
Lovely old building
Best afternoon tea I've had other than Teapots in Olney (which has now shut down)

Business Owner September 6, 2025

We look forward to welcoming you again soon.

Went into the Old School Cafe with my brother for a coffee and something to eat. The service was incredible with such friendly staff. Didn't have to wait for a table. The toastie I got came out in good time and was incredible with a lovely side of salad and crisps. The coffee was lovely as well. I would highly recommend coming here.

Business Owner September 6, 2025

Thank you for your review Ciaran. We are happy to hear your enjoyed your toastie and coffee. We hope to see you and your brother again soon.
Thank you again.

Took a friend for lunch and order taken efficiently. However a lovely pot of tea was consumed before the lunch served. It took one hour for our jacket potatoes to be served. No update or apology until after 50 mins I asked were we overlooked as others arriving were served before us.
The potato skin was blackened and was full of moisture. Salad was nice and fresh but overall a disappointment. Ironically we chose that dish as it was on "special". The cakes looked very nice but our tea was finished and didn't have time to stay.

Business Owner September 6, 2025

We are very sorry you didn't get to experience our usual high standards on this visit Linda. Not an excuse, but we were experiencing technical issues with our till the day you visited. We appreciate your review as we always look to improve our service and food offering. We hope you'll give us another try. Our cakes are all made in house and definitely worth a try.
Apologies again.
