The Coffee Tree – Aylesbury

An example of great things that come in small packages. The Coffee Tree is a little gem serving tasty cooked meals and snacks (prepared to order) as well as delicious homemade cakes and drinks. The coffee shop opened its doors at the end of March 2022, owned and managed by Rebecca and Michael. They pride themselves in offering a healthy and fresh selection of food whether you eat in or order your food for take away.

Have you thought about treating your loved ones to a freshly made “All Day Breakfast”? Would you prefer crispy bacon or grilled to perfection? Poached or fried eggs? Chef Michael will go the extra mile to deliver plates full of personality and a personal touch. You can choose from tasty sandwiches to jacket potatoes, vegetarian dishes to flavoursome homemade soup. Are you having a party or want to treat someone to a special afternoon tea, The Coffee Tree can also provide bespoke finger buffets and afternoon teas for collection.

Their service is second to none but the quality of their food locally sourced, collaborating with butchers PS Tilbury in Bedgrove and eggs delivered from Dinton Farm to maximise the quality and taste.

The Coffee Tree is a community hub where people can meet their family, friends, and colleagues to relax, catch up and enjoy the amazing food and drink on offer.

Treacles Tea Rooms Thame

Treacles Tea Rooms is something much more than a traditional coffee shop, it’s a community. This amazing place opened its doors 7 years ago by the experienced chefs Dave and Rowland. Treacles is set in a period building over two floors, combining a relaxed and welcoming environment with a log burner lit through the winter months. The staff provides a welcoming, fun, knowledgeable, and safe atmosphere.

Their dishes are a clever mix of traditional meals as well as those that are more current or easy on the go. From a traditional English breakfast to smashed avocado brunch, bacon & avocado panini to their famous butchers’ pie of the day just to name a few. Of course not forgetting their various vegan menus offering their much spoken about vegan breakfast or houmous, black olive, red pepper and rocket toastie. Enjoy their specialty teas or a cup of barista coffee with a slice (or two) of delicious cake. This is another local café collaborating with local butchers’ Wrens.

You can find Treacles on 12 High Street, OX9 2BZ. Operating times: Mon-Sat from 9 am to 5 pm. The coffee shop is accessible for wheelchair users.
