Reviews of The Old Post Office Tea Rooms

w. i.

Very pretty little cafe, believe it was an old post office building, hence unique decor and style, very cosy & warm warming place. It’s a dog friendly place, dogs are welcome inside and outside the back garden, of course, please control your dogs. Lots of lovely cakes, treats to choose from, lovely beverages and light meals during the day. Staff is friendly and helpful. Price is reasonable considering the location, which is right opposite Bradgate Park. There is no on site parking, however limited street free parking spaces for 30 minutes free hour is right outside the cafe, within few minutes walk, just further down or up the street with 2 hours free parking spaces. Have to say it’s not easy to get free parking spaces at weekends.

We live this cafe, we always go after a long walk at Bradgate Park. The out door seating area is brilliant with seats under cover or in the sun, they’re totally dog friendly and you can take dogs inside as well as the garden. In the winter they have log burners going so it’s really cosy. The menu is great and the food is always lovely.

P. S.

Great place for coffee and a cake, we had a full cooked breakfast and it didn't disappoint :) nice and welcoming staff and its dog friendly too..

L. D.

Really nice tea room with lovely atmosphere and a log fire. The staff seem friendly and the food is good. What makes this tea room even better is the fact that dogs are allowed inside 😊 also really like that all of the staff wear masks so that the customers feel safe. Would definitely recommend …

M. H.

Charming cafe across the road from Bradgate Park. Good varied menu. Lovely St Martins roasted coffee (worth going just for this) friendly service. Beautifully set out with comfortable seating suitable for individuals, couples or family/friends groups. We aways look forward to popping in for coffee and lunch/late breakfast after a brisk walk in the park. A welcome treat. I highly recommend a visit next yime you visit the park or just go for lunch anyway.

After a brisk but chilly, dog walk in Bradgate Park, The Old Post Office was a welcome sight. Lovely ambience, friendly staff, good food and very dog friendly...complimentary dog treats too.

D. F.

Lovely little place coffee and food very good , only things ot let it down was the cleanliness and the abrupt members of staff. The tables were very sticky and I found a squashed tomato on the floor.

J. M.

Really lovely welcoming cafe. Best cakes. Real hot chocolate non of that Cadburys rubbish.

R. D.

Outside is best. Very nice setting. Well prepared food. My favourite snack (and not good for you, but v tasty) is the sausage, cheddar and caramelised red onion chutney toastie. Tells you much of what you need to know.

R. W.

Enjoyed a coffee and cake with friends before visiting the nearby National trust House. Both the coffee and cake were delicious. Will definitely be back again soon.

P. H.

Currently open for takeaway 9.30-3.30. All very organised, one-way system etc. Grab some food and drink and eat in Bradgate Park over the road.

L. H.

Dogs welcome inside and out making it our go to place for lunch whenever we are in the area. Super friendly staff, delicious menu and free dog treats next to the toll 😊

A. T.

Lovely garden at the rear with comfy seating. Excellent food and service. Breakfast served until 11:30, lunch, snacks and beverages. Well worth a stop to enjoy.

K. H.

Lovely place, very popular, nearly didn't manage to get a table

D. R.

Lovely tea room in historic post office on the edge of Bradgate Park. Plenty of character & pretty outdoor seating area with plenty of cover from the elements. Cakes excellent & staff friendly & efficient. We return here each time we visit despite two other options being available nearby, which tells you all you need to know!

R. Y.

I always have a cappuccino with oat milk and it usually is really nice and creamy. This coffee was not good has the oat milk being changed ?

j. w.

Very pleasant place to meet and coffee with friends following a leg stretch around the park.

S. C.

Popped in for a coffee. Lovely cafe but unfortunately no gluten free cake. The gardens and seating area within the cafe are really nicely laid out and decorated. Will definitely go again.

G. S.

M. T.

Visited here on our way to holiday in Norfolk and Suffolk for many years, lovely atmosphere and food

R. S.

Lovely little spot, plenty of seating upstairs and down. Lovely character in the ceilings and a nice coal fire in the middle. Also allows dogs. A little caution on the head height but well signed. Definitely will return.

J.

Excellent place to walk to and have cup of tea with a sandwich. Log burner. Cosy cosy. Love it.

A. G.

Stopped for coffee on the road. Very nice flat white, cappuccino, and flapjack. Managed to spill one of the drinks on the seat while loading the toddler back in. Went back in to get paper towels and they came out to our car and replaced the drink without asking!

F. S.

Just the best tea-room! Staff very friendly. Lovely food, especially the home made cakes. Pretty garden for al fresco eating and quaint inside. Most importantly, very dog-friendly!

L. W.

Excellent dog friendly café on the main road through Newtown Linford. Fresh cakes and biscuits, great tea and coffee. Friendly and welcoming. Not a huge menu, but always done well. Highly recommended.

S. A. F.

Very tasty lunch and quick service. Shame no soup on the menu

R. S.

Plenty of out door seating, some covered, as well as indoor tables, reasonable menu with some gluten free options. Great cakes. Good friendly service, and dog friendly with water bowls and dog treats to purchase. Touch expensive, but then that's to be expected in Newtown Linford I suppose.

M. L.

Just popped in for a coffee and cake. Pleasant greeting, prompt service and an awesome cappuccino with Belgian chocolate flakes. Had equally lovely cake. This place is a must if you are in Newtown .

A. J.

Highly recommend. The waffles are to die for as well as many of the other items on the menu! It's dog friendly, so makes life so much easier if you have popped around the park with your pooch!!

Very good meal today. Coffee was excellent, tuna salad was very filling and the Mexican jacket potato was delicious. The only drawback was we couldn't manage cake as well. We will come back another day because the cakes looked fab!

E. O.

Absolutely gorgeous little tearoom, great selection of cakes and drinks.

c. c.

Great cozy place, good food but not too many seats though. It was busy this lunch time as the sun was out and they came over to inform us hot food might take half an hour. We were not in a rush so it's all good. Full English breakfast was good, home-made soup was nice but little salty and we love the scones. Would be nice to have plain scones as I am not a fan of raisins.

C. V.

Great place for coffees teas and cakes. Breakfasts are a must try. My favourite is the cappuccino with Scones A must go when the weather is nice to sit on the back terras.

S. C.

I enjoyed the log fire after a cold walk through the park

L. H.

Usually enjoy visiting this cafe but today they have just lost a regular customer. My family and I usually go for lunch here. I always order the same thing, a chicken wrap because I enjoy it so much, to be told this time, they have never done that and it has to be as a sandwich(I don't eat bread). I was amazed as I have had it every week for years!! When I challenged the lady(who I'd never seen before) she rudely said "well it's MY cafe and I do the menus so I should know." So basically I'd been called a liar. Myself or my family will not be coming back.

S. B.

Delicious food and great service. Very handy for Bradgate Park.

Quirky little tea rooms in Newtown Linford. Excellent home made cakes every day. Lovely coffee and very friendly staff. A little bit dark inside but can sit outside in summer.
