Reviews
"A reasonable selection of tasty food and drinks. The refectory has just had a makeover with new furniture, a revised seating layout and an improved serving area. Sadly, the updated image is badly let down by the very dirty and unhygienic appearance of the floor which does not seem to have received any attention."
"What a difference a (few) days make. Reopening 27 February after a significant make over it has really made a good cafe superb. Bright and airy, fresh and clear the excellent food is set off well. The same super friendly staff set the whole thing off. Coming to Winchester, enjoy the protected outdoor patio area shaded from the wind but in the sun. This is the place to eat coffee, lunch and tea. Extended opening times too. Now open 09.30-17.00. Well done the team from Martin and Poppy. New dog treats too! Even Pete the Robin is back ready for a full tummy Spring."
"Why would you not go here.!! Walk over to Winchester Cathedral go to the steps on the back wall and you will find the entrance to the cathedral shop and the cafe. Super fresh food, not over priced. Plenty of seating. On a dry day sit in the courtyard furry friends welcome. The ancient wall keep the wind out. You will find clean loos here. Gluten free options available. Share a table for friendly chats, on nice days the garden is open where you will find picnic tables for the cafe."
"I am American and visited this place in mid-January when my class went to Winchester Cathedral, so my review may not be reflective of the place now and does not fit with the horde of recent negative reviews. I had a potato and leek soup, cheese scone, and a gingerbread soy latte. Coffee and soup were pretty good, but the cheese scone was 100% the star. Out of my 5 months in Britain, it was seriously the best scone I ever had, so full of flavour and soft and crumbly in the best way. I told my group multiple times that I wanted to come back to Winchester just for this cheese scone (but I would visit the Cathedral again, it's stunning). If things have changed, I apologise, but I dream of that wonderful cheese scone still."
"Lovely venue. Had come here to meet a friend. We had two rounds of drinks and some food. Twice the coffee was cold. Queued and despite lots of staff only one was serving. The lady who appeared to be in charge was quite rude."
