First visit but not the last. The whole cafe was decorated for Halloween including the 3 wonderfully polite staff. The coffee was first class, along with pastry. Really lovely atmosphere, so many coffee shops could learn from this experience. Thank you and hope to see you again.
Last weekend I popped into @rust whilst doing a little Xmas shopping in Banbury
Location
At the bottom of Parson's Street off the market square it's literally town centre!
Interior
I absolutely love their decor and furniture but what really hits is the projector wall at the back of the cafe which is currently very festive. Something about a motion picture which creates excitement
Service
The team are friendly enough and they were fairly quick at bringing to drinks and food across to the table.
Food/drink
We had an extra special hot chocs ans a latte then shared their cinnamon roll. The hot chocolate was pretty standard but that's still pretty decent and the topping of marshmallow, whipped cream and a flake is just incredible. The latte was creamy and not too bitter which was lovely and let's be honest the cinnamon rolls here are the best in Banbury 🙌
Price
At just under £10 it's bang on the money, not the cheapest but a fair price for what they are selling and the atmosphere provided
Overall
A solid cafe in Banbury, a very easy stop on a shopping trip for a quick refreshment or a catch up with friends. The pastry and cake selection is simply perfect
Not just a typical specialty coffee shop, they do great freshly made bagels, sandwiches, and locally made cakes & pastries to tempt.
I like the sink in the toilet as a quirky aside. The decor and lighting offers cosy industrial ambience.
A relaxing atmosphere, with friendly staff and good products is often enough for me, clearly The Rustic Bean want to deliver much more.
An easy 5*
