Our little café in the middle of the Bookbarn welcomes you in 2023!
We are OPEN Tuesday - Sunday, 10am-4pm, CLOSED Mondays.
We serve Trumper's leaf teas, savourous ground coffees, melting Marimba hot chocolate, delicious homemade cakes AND light lunches!
You can eat and drink inside, or in fine weather at our tables outside the bookshop. The tent will be up outside the front door once spring is upon us and the weather more clement!
For more information, and to book for group visits, call us on 01547 530744. Booking needed for large groups of more than ten or twelve.
Light lunches / snacks: We usually have a range of soups, served with Swifts Bakery bread, and we serve toasted sandwiches too, including gluten-free options. Look out for our NEW King Toastie for 2023!
Our cakes are made by Chelsea and her team at Kingsland Village Shop and Tea Room: the delicious gluten-free almond & fruit cake, coffee & walnut cake, Victoria sponge, chocolate cake and lemon drizzle loaf 
are all popular.
Our Aardvark Coffees
We serve quality ground coffees: why not enjoy a cafetière of medium roast, flavourful coffee.
At the moment we can offer you:
Colombian - mild, rounded, most enjoyable
Kenyan Blue Mountain - rounded, smooth, a delightful coffee
and a Featured Coffee:
Brazilian Honduras blend - a strong, full-bodied coffee, ideal to get you started on a cold day!
Marimba Melts Hot Chocolate
Smooth, creamy hot chocolate melts, made with real chocolate flakes: choose from Milk, Dark, White or Ruby chocolate. Can be served with cream and marshmallows if desired!
Trumpers Leaf Teas
We are delighted that Claire Trumper has continued to supply us with her delicately flavoured quality leaf teas. Try her English Breakfast blend, the subtle Earl Grey, the light Darjeeling or the special Green Tea and we think you'll agree!
We welcome everyone, and have disabled access to the cafe which is on the ground floor.
We are also dog-friendly! Dogs and their well-behaved owners welcome.
Any questions, or to book for a group, please call us 01547 530744.
