Delicious food and chai latte. Very cosy place with the cat celebrity of the village- the Buddy coming for a scratch.

A charming cafe in an idyllic setting. But what really stands out is the friendliness of service, as everyone who worked here treated me like an old friend. The food is superb. Great coffee. Lovely sandwiches and salad too. Thank you so much!!

My partner and I had a wonderful breakfast at The Old Post Office Guiting Power. Firstly its in the most idyllic setting. We were able to find parking right outside but it does get very busy so be mindful. The food was very delicious! I had the avocado on toast and my partner had the hot wok eggs… both were cooked to perfection and tasted great. We then left with a couple of their freshly baked sausage rolls and they did not disappoint!! You must try!! All in all I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a cafe/ brunch hot spot in the Cotswolds where you are served with a smile!

Such a great location in the centre of pretty and peaceful Guiting Power. There are quite a few outdoor tables and a cycle rack. The salted brownie was delicious — definitely one for the chocoholics with very cocoa content. Espresso was excellent too. They also sell lunch, soft drinks and ice cream tubs.

Quaint cafe in Guiting Cotswold. It is literally still a post office as a postal clerk is at one of the tables. Front outdoor seating, upstairs seating, and back patio tables. Gluten free breakfast sandwich with fluffy gluten free bread. Highly recommend as a cafe spot to enjoy during a day trip exploration of the Cotswolds.

My wife and I came here for a coffee to start our day. We shared some sourdough toast with butter and jam, while I had a cortado and my wife ordered a chai. We headed out into the garden and took a seat in the morning sun. The toast was excellent – butter and jam may be simple, but it’s always a winner. My cortado was very good, and if we’d stayed longer I’d definitely have had another. My wife, who’s something of a chai enthusiast, didn’t enjoy her drink, unfortunately. We spent around 45 minutes playing a card game before heading off, and overall it was a lovely, relaxing way to begin the day.
