Cant wait to be back in Cheltenham this summer and be able to savoir their fine food again... :) PS i notice you recently were awarded a FIVE star rating from The Food Standards Agency...

We eat breakfast here regularly as it's our favourite place. Great food and service in a qwerky setting. The secret garden out the back is lovely when the weather permits. Would highly recommend. Even though it gets busy we've always found a corner to eat.

The food was amazing, generous portions and completely fresh! The staff are wonderful and went beyond to make sure I was happy. I would highly recommend �

Once again you've served a perfect breakfast the @[180133488714455:Janes Pantry] GI's are the best, sausages very tasty, bacon thick and the black pudding cooked to perfection. The coffee to our taste, and staff friendly and happy. We'll be back �

Lovely little gem , off the Bath Road - just like a Harry Potter café that just keep going into little amazing spaces, lovely chillax area out the back xx

Have visited this morning for our 40th wedding anniversary breakfast. What a magical/quirky little beauty of a place. Will definitely visit again :-)

Had a lovely breakfast at Curious Cafe yesterday. They were very accommodating to reserve a table for our group of 4 mums and babies, and it was great to have table service so we didn’t have to leave our little ones alone. Breakfast was delicious, portions very generous and the chai latte was one of the nicest I’ve had. Great that they do alternative milks (eg almond) and gluten free/ vegan cakes

Great place, great food! The staff are always friendly, the food is cooked to order and they will even tailor your breakfast to suit you. Highly recommended

Great place for relaxing lunch either indoors with quirky artworks or in the sunny, almost Cornish little garden at the back - a real gem in the Bath Road with lovely staff and delicious food. The vegetarian breakfast is my favourite, or the cheesy wedges with sweet chilli dip. All home made and delicious!

Great place and nice staff. Always hits the right spot.

Great place and great food...will def return..

Great Food,especially the bacon, good service. Was very busy so a small wait for food was not a surprise but the good was excellent. Lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be going again.

Friendly staff and a warm welcome. Order taken soon after we were seated. The blacksmiths breakfast is highly recommended. And to top it all the coffee was HOT!!!

First time in this cafe and we loved the food, friendly staff and it has a great atmosphere.

We will return very soon to sample the breakfast.

First and foremost what an AMAZING hot chocolate!!!! Brilliant and friendly staff who were incredibly welcoming, along with very prompt service. Food was brilliant, and not expensive either which was great. The meat is locally sourced and free range which is good to know!



Will be coming back for sure!!

Came in today to treat my Nan for Christmas, the atmosphere was brilliant!! A very nice young lady called Sophie reserved us a table which we were provided fantastic service. Food was incredible! My Nan who's a fairly old bird managed to finish her whole plate so they must be doing something right! Thank you Sophie and the rest of the gang at The Curious Cafe! X

Been coming here for a number of years now. Gemma and the girls are so lovely and always great service. Food is amazing. Chefs are great and always freshly prepared. ❤️

As ever. That's why we always come back!

Amazing service! The food was fresh and hot and they were happy to swap items I didn't want from the breakfast. It's worth the money and the place itself is very cute.
