Lovely cafe/restaurant in Tetbury. Our first time here for an impromptu birthday breakfast for 3 adults and a toddler. Food was delicious. Good range of choices on menu. Will definitely be back.

The interior in here is gorgeous - but the food and coffee live up to it just as well! Had halloumi burger and the GBK toastie and they were fabulous. Would argue it's the best halloumi burger I've ever had. 10/10 service and great coffee. Please do visit!

This is such a lovely cafe, I went with my friends earlier in summer and went back my sister as we were passing through today - the staff are so friendly, welcoming and polite and the food is 10/10 (especially the breakfast burrito). Also really nicely decorated inside :)

What a gem of a find in Tetbury… we enjoyed Breakfast at Gilbertine Kitchen. Coffee was superb… and the Full English and French Toast were delicious. . Atmosphere delightful, as were all of the team. Loved it… need to walk a few more steps today for the treat it was! Will be back. Thank you

Recommended by friends, we were excited to try it — and the food didn’t disappoint! The meal was absolutely delicious. However, the service left a bit to be desired. We had to get up and place our order ourselves after waiting around 10 minutes, and we noticed other tables had also been waiting even longer. The young waiter was polite, but overall the staff didn’t seem very attentive. Perhaps they were having an off day, although it wasn’t particularly busy. That said, we would return — the quality of the food makes it worth another visit.

Beautiful interior, 'chic Parisian' meets 'rustic Cotswolds' style café. Very friendly staff, who recommended the Caesar Chicken Sandwich - which did not disappoint. Great coffee and the carrot cake is to die for. Parking available just a short walk away.
