"My first afternoon tea at Oakley Court about three years ago was wonderful. I took my Mum and she enjoyed all the quirky refinements that came with the experience i.e. quirky tea cosy. The next time, a couple of years ago, the refinements were no longer there, and this last experience on Saturday December was not special at all. There was little or no ambience, the sandwiches tasted like they had been prepared some hours before our visit, the cakes were tasteless and lacking in variety and, whilst the scones were served warm, they were dry and also tasteless. The raspberry jam was also very runny and not like a preserve at all. I am not a tea drinker, but the friends I was with are. They were served a couple of pots of tea each, so were able to keep refilling their cups. I asked for hot chocolate and was brought one small cup of my requested beverage, which was tepid at best. I was not offered another cup, so had to attract the attention of a waitress to request a pot of hot chocolate so I too had the opportunity of refilling my cup. Again, the hot chocolate was served only just warm and went cold very quickly. I feel very sad that Afternoon Tea at Oakley Court is no longer the treat it used to be, especially as the hotel is set in such a lovely location. It is certainly extremely overpriced for what you get and I have no plans to return for afternoon tea again in the future."

"Have lived in the area for a year and drive past coffee and pie at least twice and day and always been meaning to go in. After a little stalk on Instagram on a late Friday night me and my partner finally decided to go for a walk to visit. Well.. I can honestly say it was so worth the wait and so disappointed we did not come sooner as this little gem is absolutely incredible. The minute we walked in we was greeted by the polite, bubbly and friendly owner who instantly made us feel welcome. We were so spoilt for choice and honestly would of ordered everything if we could but had to behave and control ourselves. So for now we ordered two flat whites, two white chocolate cannolis to eat there and then and also a apple pie and a pear and ricotta pie to take home for dessert. The flat white was hands down the best coffee we have had in a long time, so fresh so grounded and was perfect. The cannolis were to die for so fresh so creamy and crunchy and went absolutely splendid with our coffees. We were in there for a good half an hour chatting away to the owner and it just felt so welcoming and humble. We cannot wait to have our pies tonight and if they are anything like the cannolis then boy are we in for a treat. I would extremely highly RECOMMEND this place for not only the coffee but the cannolis and sweet pies. Me and my partner are already stalking the ‘gram’ to see when they get more pies in as we are yet to experiment on not only more of the sweet pies but the savouries too.. ooooh and also the hot drinks too as again absolutely spoilt for choice. Please guys.. get following coffee and pie on Instagram, check out there amazing menu and most importantly get yourself down there as I can honestly guarantee you will not be disappointed. Thank you Shaun and Tina for making this little amazing coffee and pie shop and for putting so much effort into love and care for the customers and their needs. See you VERY soon indeed."
