The menu is really varied (so we'll be back to try more things) and the portions are decent.My rarebit was tasty, but didn't come with the veg crisps mentioned on the menu. Nice to have salad on the side. Rarebit isn't often seen either. They use quality ingredients and make as much as possible themselves. Good cortado as well, you don't get those everywhere.
Response from the owner: Thank you Jen! Can’t wait for you to try more on our menu 🙂

Terrible cup of teaEpic vegan biscoff cakeBarely toasted toastGood poached eggsDry sausageGood sweet potato fries
Response from the owner: We appreciate your review and feedback! Everyone has their own preferences and we always try and please everyone. Shame the tea isn’t to your liking, it’s a beautiful loose leaf local to Oxford stocked in many places in Cheltenham.

Lovely gluten free brownie and a delicious ginger drink. Brownie was one of the best I have had - lovely and gooey. I have marked down though as the gluten free food was alongside gluten containing food and my daughter, who is a severe coeliac was worried about cross contamination and so was unable to eat there. Menu had lots of lovely sounding options for lunch. Would like to see gluten free cakes on top shelf, in a separate cabinet or covered with glass domes to avoid the risk of cross contamination. Also not sure if there were separate utensils for gluten free food or not - if there were then great but if not perhaps have different colour utensils in a separate container to avoid cross contamination. Great service and lovely cafe.
Response from the owner: Hi Joy! Allergens are at the top of our priory here and we make a really big effort to make guests feel safe and comfortable coming into the cafe as we know many places are not for those with allergens! You’ll be happy to know all our gluten free cakes are on the top shelf of the cake cabinet and we use separate utensils to cut them. Our kitchen has a separate gluten free prep area and (between us) all our fryers are gluten free so most people eat in the cafe without even realising their chips and falafels etc… are all gluten free!

Its taken me a while to write this because its been difficult to find the words to express how truly amazing the team are at The Find!Meg and Gino hosted a surprise birthday party for my wife, we worked together on designing the perfect night for her for about 6 months. Hiring out the entire event with a custom canapé menu and welcome drinks, we were also allowed to add suitable decorations.The food was outstanding and delicious.The drinks, cocktails and coffee were incredibleThe service was on point, we felt like royaltyI truly could not ask for more.So if you want a quick coffee, cheeky cocktail, breakfast, dinner or a full on party. I cannot recommend The Find enough!
Response from the owner: Hi Tom, what a wonderful party you guys were! We truly enjoyed spoiling you. Thank you for such a lovely review- hopefully see you guys back in the cafe soon. Meg & Gino

It has been always nice good and lovely staffs. Ever since I came to cheltenham I fell in love with this place. I really hope their business goes well. Never disappointed with their amazing coffee. Xx
Response from the owner: What kind words. We are so glad that The Find makes your Cheltenham experience even better! See you again soon. Meg, Gino and The Team

Excellent afternoon tea. We go to a lot of afternoon teas, and this was up with many of the big London hotels in quality. Sandwiches were perfect, with very fresh bread and good fillings. The sausage roll slices and scotch eggs were perfect and tasted freshly made. The scones were lovely and totally fresh. The cakes were gorgeous. Highly recommended.
Response from the owner: WOW! What a kind review, thank you Mike! See you again soon. Meg, Gino and The Team

Quite literally a great find in Cheltenham. It isn’t the cheapest place, but the food is excellent quality!

went a month ago and the order (cappuccino) was lost due to a ‘system’ issue.I waited and waited… 18 mins. I could see the staff were busy in The restaurant, coming and going with orders and a few takeaway orders but the person who took the order manning the coffee machine had no external radar for customer awareness that the person sat waiting on the large fabric chairs was sitting without anything.Anyway manageress offered a refund and a free voucher which I finally used today.Todays review:On coffee it was really good.If you are looking for a double coffee experience visit both the Find ✅and next door the dispensary ✅

Visited for the first time today. It's literally a lovely 'find'. Had brunch with my mother today with a glass of fizz. Will definitely be returning with more family members very soon.Staff advised worth booking ahead if you are planning lunch. Otherwise, no real need too.
Response from the owner: Thank you for your kind words Gemma! Was a pleasure having you and you mum, you’ll have to try our Lemoncello Sprits next time you’re in!

Great breakfast, we had the eggs Bennie. Good sized portions, reasonably priced and lovely hollandaise sauce.Coffee was excellent too, great to see so many local suppliers on the menu!
Response from the owner: Hi Sophie, thank you so much for your lovely review! The eggs Bennie is a big favourite here 🙂 We love supporting local suppliers as an independent coffee shop! It’s so important to do so. See you for brunch again soon! Meg

Flawless 5 stars! Hunting for gluten free cake and good coffee is always a challenge we embrace when visiting new cities.The Find is an absolute find! Friendly service, good selection of GF cakes and good options on the main breakfast and lunch menu.Delicious GF cakes - strawberry shortcake and coffee pecan were both delicious. Coffee was perfect.This place does not disappoint and only wish we had this closer to home.
Response from the owner: Thank you for sharing your fabulous experience here at The Find 🙂 Tasha does an amazing job with the GF cakes- if there are any flavours you want to see in the future let us know! We look forward to seeing you again soon 🙂

We had an absolutely lovely time at The Find today. Food and service could not have been any better. The portions were massive which was just what we needed! Additionally, all staff were fully aware of my allergens (gluten, soy, and alliums) which was incredibly reassuring. The gluten free bread was super tasty and I wish we had room for some of the incredible looking gluten free cakes too!

Came with a friend for brunch and had a lovely time. The coffee was really nice and the food was good. Busier than expected but the staff were very sweet, only thing is we sat slightly behind the door and I don't they could see us to order food till much later. But that is probably our fault as earthing else was very nice and Irecommend. To add you have to go up steps to access the extra seating which was fine for us but might be a slight difficulty in others x

We have been constantly coming to the Find since last year and we know we will always have amazing and consistently great coffee and food. The service is amazing as well, they always welcome you with a smile and try to find you a table even when it’s busy.

Visited yesterday with my dog, couldn't have asked for better service, every single staff member was so friendly and accommodating. Food was tasty, vibe was great. Would definitely recommend 🙂

I booked The Find as the venue for my partner’s 30th birthday. I cannot recommend it highly enough.We had the whole venue on the Saturday evening: 45 guests, welcome drinks, canapés & sliders, decorations, cake etc.Everyone at The Find was absolutely fab. They made the planning process so easy (e.g. David was very helpful in the early stages, explaining menu options etc), they were incredibly accommodating of our preferences, and on the night itself they were absolutely BRILLIANT: Meg, Gino and the team looked after us so well!The food was excellent, the drink options were spot on, the service throughout was both efficient and tremendously friendly. We couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome.Thank you to everyone at The Find - my partner absolutely loved her birthday, and arranging it all with you was an absolute pleasure.
Carole T.
Cute place with a few options for breakfast/lunch!Portions were very good! And food was tasty!Will be back to try coffees and cakes as they looked amazing!
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for visiting Carole.We are glad you enjoyed your time at The Find, lots of cakes to try on your return visit! We will be selling our Easter Themed cakes soon!
Imogen F.
Food was incredible and came really fast. Amazing range of gluten free options and sister is obsessed with the gf bread they served
Response from the owner: Thank Imogen, delighted to hear that you had such a great experience. I really love the Hobbs House GIFT loaf too - even though I can eat gluten bread. It certainly doesn't feel like a second choice to me! Hopefully we will be able to welcome you and your sister back again soon. X
Dessi V.
Although it was Sunday lunch time and it was very busy, the food was incredible! The amount of salmon for eggs royal was very generous :)! The capucchino was lovely and although it felt quite a squeeze overall it was a nice experience. I think either having some fabric on the walls to make it easier to talk when sat down and having more hangers and places to put their clothes, bags would have been better. Would be back!!!
Response from the owner: Hi Dessi,Thank you so much for your kind comments and I am so pleased that you enjoyed your visit to The Find so much. Delighted to hear that you will be coming back and we will definitely bear your constructive comments in mind - it is also really helpful to get this sort of feedback. Best wishes, David

Delicious, healthy food (for all ages!) at reasonable prices; Kind and attentive baristas; Lovely comfortable seats in a relaxing setting (without loud music), great for a good chat or read! ... Plus a beautiful, inviting autumnal display at the moment!
Response from the owner: Thanks Keziah, that is so kind of you to say so. We really appreciate your thoughts and support, and hopefully we will be able to welcome you back again soon.
Sarah R.
Generally a good experience, however lack of organisation with regards to who was doing what meant that we waited quite a long time to order our food and for both food and drink to arrive. Food was good and obviously excellent quality products are being used. We will visit again next time in Cheltenham and try the cakes as they looked gorgeous!
Response from the owner: Hi Sarah, thank you so much for visiting and also for your kind feedback. I am so glad that you enjoyed your food and apologise that there was a little wait. With the literature festival, we had one of our busiest Saturdays ever today and the staff did have a lot of on their plates. I’m glad though that you’ll be coming back again and look forward to welcoming you. Kind regards, David
Cynneth B.
Nice spot for lunch. Food was great and service was good too. Reasonably priced for the quality of the food we had. Would recommend visiting if you're in Cheltenham and want lunch.
Response from the owner: Hi Cynneth, I am really pleased to hear that you had such a great experience and really appreciate you sharing your feedback. Hopefully we will get to welcome you back again sometime soon. Kind regards, David
