Huffkins at John Lewis Cheltenham

Bright space with lots of window tables . We enjoyed our coffees. Extra charge for oat milk. Disappointed with the cakes which sounded great on the menu Very small piece of lemon drizzle and expensive eclairs. Brownies also very small for the price Enjoyed relaxing at this end of the shop .

Huffkins is situated on the 1st floor of John Lewis and appears to be a popular breakfast spot. The ambiance is charming, reflecting an English-style cafe with tasteful interiors. However, the menu options are somewhat limited. I opted for pancakes, which were fairly basic but came with a premium price tag. The apple juice was delightful, and the chocolate twist bun was a highlight. Pricing overall leans toward the higher end. As for service, it fell short of expectations—the estimated wait time for food was not accurate, causing a longer than anticipated wait. In summary, while Huffkins offers a delightful setting and some tasty options, it has room for improvement in terms of menu variety, pricing, and service.

Just popped into have a cuppa and a cake and what a lovely little bakery and tea room. Situated inside John Lewis upstairs. The Staff are all very welcoming and friendly, ordering was easy and the cakes were delicious, I had the Belgian chocolate eclair and my partner had Belgian bun both were perfect. My partner had a flat white which she said was delicious and I had the house blend tea which was also very nice. I highly recommend. 👌👌👌👌

It's a nice, bright, light, airy & modern cafe with friendly staff but boy is it expensive. £8.50 for a pasty with crisps & salad & a fairly average pasty at that. Relaxed atmosphere.

The cafe is bright and airy, a pleasant place for afternoon coffee and a cake

Stayed in Cheltenham for a night so visited John Lewis for breakfast. Made our way to, what we thought, was the JL cafe where we ordered breakfast. Very nice it was but a bit expensive we thought. Went for a wander around the store and discovered another cafe situated at the back!!! It seemed liked the same breakfast menu and the items that we had were half price at this cafe. Felt totally ripped off! Why two cafes on the same floor?? same menu, different prices!! 🫤

Very nice environment in which to enjoy an afternoon tea. Extreemly pleasant and polite staff, with in particular, Marcus who provided exceptional service.
