Our favourite coffee spots throughout the Cotswolds always have rich, delicious coffee brewing from the early hours and a selection of freshly baked pastries to kickstart the day. The vibrant coffee culture around here means there’s an independent café in almost every market town or village, but they all offer something unique.
Top 5 Coffee Shops in the Cotswolds
1. Lynwood and Co
This Burford bakery is located on the famous High Street hill and always offers delicious brunch options. The toasted sandwiches, made with local produce and artisan bread slices, must be tried. Lynwood and Co is a family-run business that has expanded to multiple locations throughout the Cotswolds. StayCotswold guests can enjoy a 10% discount at Lynwood and Co when using our VIP pass.
2. Knead Bakery
At Elkstone Studios you’ll find Knead Bakery, a place we love to drive to at the weekend to enjoy a well-deserved coffee and afternoon tea. Their freshly baked bread is incredibly tasty and worth taking home to try for yourself. If you’re local to Elkstone, Tetbury or Cirencester, pop in!
3. Sam and Jak
If we’re grabbing a morning coffee in Cirencester, we’re heading to Sam and Jak’s. Alongside their warming drinks, the breakfast menu ticks all the boxes. Think crumpets, croissants, and a full English!
4. The Twig
One of the best villages to visit when we need some quintessential Cotswold scenery and a nice walk in the countryside; we love visiting The Twig when passing through Bibury. There’s a lovely deli counter to pick up some cupboard essentials, and the coffee is always top-notch.
5. Bakery on the Water
Next to the river that runs through Bourton-on-the Water is Bakery on the Water. We love the welcoming atmosphere of the team and enjoy watching the bakers bustling away in the kitchen.
