“ Love this cafe in our village. Great for dog walkers and muddy boots. Everyone welcome. Good food selection, friendly staff. ”

“ The Reading Room at The Barlow, next to Edgworth's cricket club and bowling green is a community spirited cafe which is interestingly appointed as a reading room as opposed to a typical cafe. Dog friendly, the haunt attracts regular custom which it satisfies with decent fare at reasonable prices. ”

“ Great place to go for coffee and cake, nice spot in the village with outside tables. Plenty of parking. Nice choice of ales. ”

- Simon Masterson -

“ Beautiful building, brilliant park behind for the children, great cricket ground adjacent and stunning views across! The ice cream parlor a short walk up the hill was an added bonus too! (The white horse pub is up the same hill for the thirsty/stressed mums n dad's too, also highly recommended!!) Beautiful stress free part of the area! ”

“ Lovely wee cafe, quirky and welcoming. Good with dogs, allergies and accessibility, only problem is that toilets are up stairs unless you leave the venue and go back in through another entrance. ”

- Ruth Hilditch -

“ So impressed with the people who run this lovely little cafe. Our service was a bit delayed as the place had suddenly become very busy and in contrast to other places they apologised, offered us free drinks - and when we didn't accept gave us a refund. Such a lovely gesture and we hadn't even complained. ”

- Barbara Boardman -

“ Love this place. Dinky community cafe without the naff feel you often get with such places. Small menu well done sensible prices, hard floors suitable for muddy paws and moods. Customers and staff are all friendly... what's not to like. Only possible criticism is it could do with some soft furnishings to deaden some of the sound. ”

- Tom B -

“ I called in on a Sunday morning to try a breakfast. It is reasonably priced at £9.95 when you look at what is on the plate, which comes with 2 slices of toast and a tea or coffee as well. I had another coffee which I believe was about £2.40 alone so the breakfast is good value. I am no coffee aficionado but found it to be very good quality and will call again for another sometime. The staff are plentiful and are always on hand with a smile. ”
