Review The Den - Bourton-on-the-Water

James Mitchell

Found this take away cafe whilst on holiday in the Cotswolds and it was really worth a visit. They have a big range of vegan bagels, baguettes, salads, milkshakes and a also few cakes. We had variations of the smashed avo and vegan halloumi bagels. They were really good and the toast bagels we soft and very good quality. My boy got a vegan chocolate milkshake and having tried it I should have got one too! Great location in the centre of town, and a perfect take away to go and sit by the river with. They also have non vegan options. The two women working there were really friendly and helpful.

Such a cute and lovely take out cafe. AMAZING Vegan options and my baguette tasted so good. Also there was no issue swapping the vegan halloumi for vegan mozzarella (it was even stringy when melted too..! 😍). Freshly made to order, great price and amazing customer service. What more could you ask for..!

Excellent vegan menu, including sandwiches, cakes, ice creams and milkshakes. I had a baguette with vegan halloumi which was a nice change from the bog standard offerings elsewhere. I also had a muffin and a biscoff milkshake. Be warned the milkshake was very sweet as they're generous with the biscoff sauce and ice cream 😁

I cannot understand why this little gem doesn't have a huge orange dropper pointing to it on Maps. The whole experience is hands down the best for a breakfast place my wife and I have ever had worldwide! The produce simply has to come from a farm because the quality is top notch. Albeit my wife and I are not vegan, my wife is lactose intolerant, and so the sheer range of vegan options is highly appreciated. The coffee is flavoursome without being excessively bitter. The customer service is absolutely second-to-none, as they evidently know every one of their customers. Even if you are popping in for the first time on a city break for your anniversary like us, they treat you like they've known you for ages. Not only all that, but despite the establishment being very small, it is quaint, warm and welcoming, with a very homely feel. Honestly, I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Really friendly staff and lots of delicious treats to choose from! We ordered a BLT baguette as well as a gluten free ham and cheese bagel.... possibly the best GF bagel I have ever eaten! The oat milk chai latte was also fantastic. Will surely visit again in the future 😊

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST CAFES IVE EVER BEEN TO, 100% RECOMMEND!! We drove about an hour to get here and it was so worth it! They had lots of vegan options, i got an onion and vegan cheese bageutte and an oat honeycomb milkshake and they were both incredible, so good that we drove back here a few weeks later to have more of their foods :D The staff are really friendly and the café itself is so nice and cozy, you cant sit inside but they have a nice seating area outside.

Great little cafe. I have used this for a few stops on my bike rides & have always found the it to be friendly with great choice of food. The bacon baps are brilliant.

Tiny place best for takeaway. Super friendly staff. Nice menu with lots of vegan options. Fairly priced. Delicious. We’ve been back every day for three days for their vegan desserts and baguettes. Will be getting more food tomorrow for our travel day.

Great place to go for your coffee needs. I found that not only were the people here truly pleasant but this is one of the spots that the locals come and I loved seeing and being part of a few interactions with them. The coffee drinks hit the spot and were fairly priced. If you go, say hi to James for me and tell him his new friend from Alabama wishes him some great weather and I'll send more when I can.

A must visit spot in Bourton! A cheerful welcome by the owner, delicious cakes and divine flapjacks! Not just regular flapjacks, but Snickers flapjacks, Nutella flapjacks, salter caramel flapjacks. All of them delicious!!! Also mufin-shaped croissants are available in the store. Oh an the coffee is amazing, the only coffee shop in the area than instead of burnt milk on the cappuccino, they make a proper and very good coffee!
