Hub & Spoke - Oakham

Had breakfast here early December and it was soooo good!! Very generous with the smoked salmon and the eggs were cooked so well!
I didn’t notice the sign until after I paid but they do student discount.
The only thing is I paid £1 extra than it was on the menu? I did not realise until I got home so, just make sure you check what you have paid for.
They have their own parking which I didn’t notice, there is a car park at the back which you have to pay for but if you keep driving down you will find their car park and park for free

I visited this lovely cafe with my mum at about 4pm on Monday 30 September 2024. We were in Oakham shopping and we were just looking for somewhere for a cup of tea and a piece of cake. What a lovely surprise. Really large and spacious and beautifully decorated. We ordered two pots of tea, a slice of Nutty Banana Bread and a Pain au Choc. Everything was delicious and they will warm the croissant/pan au Choc, if you'd like them to. The teapots, crockery and cutlery were all high quality. Really friendly, professional staff too. All in all a relaxing, quality place to spend some time. I noticed that they offer a good range of lunches too which, I'm confident would be just as good as the food we had. I would definitely recommend.

Ordered my breakfast before someone even entered the building yet somehow they managed to get their breakfast before mine, and I only ordered eggs florentine so it's not something that takes a long time to make, took over half an hour to make it. Also, have you ever heard of first come first serve? Learn it!

Hub & Spoke Café: Friendly Staff and Great Coffee.
I recently visited the new Hub & Spoke Café on Melton Road and had a mixed experience. On the positive side, the staff were absolutely lovely – friendly and welcoming. They clearly take pride in their coffee, as they use beans from a local roaster called Two Chimps. The coffee itself was delicious!
However, there was a bit of a misstep with the pastry. I ordered a croissant, and unfortunately, it came reheated. Now, microwaving a croissant is generally not the best way to go, and this one was no exception. It ended up a bit tough and chewy.
Here's a tip for future visitors: if you order a croissant, you might want to specify that you'd prefer it not to be heated. That way, you can enjoy the buttery flakiness at its best.
Overall, I'd definitely recommend checking out Hub & Spoke. The coffee is great, the staff are friendly, and with a little heads-up about the croissants, you can have a truly enjoyable experience.

I popped in for an early morning coffee and was really impressed—what a lovely space! The decor is spot on, the atmosphere is great, and the staff were so friendly and helpful. It’s definitely a place I’ll keep in mind for meetings…if only to make me look more professional than I actually am.

What stopped it from being a full 5 stars? The coffee portion size. For the price, I was expecting a bit more—what I got felt more like a polite sip than a proper cup. Sure, the communal area is free to use, but I think you'll pay for it in millilitres.

That said, it’s a brilliant addition to Oakham, and I’d happily recommend it. Just a nudge on the coffee sizes, and it’d be absolutely spot on!

I recently visited the Hub and Spoke Café and had a fantastic experience. The cappuccino I ordered was the best I've ever had, made by a nice girl who provided excellent service. The café itself was clean and tidy, creating a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended for coffee lovers looking for a great spot to relax and enjoy a quality drink!

Great little cafe with a good menu, friendly(-ish) staff (some great but some lacking personality which is odd for a business cafe), charging points for phones/laptops & meeting facilities.

Free WiFi.

A few free parking spaces to the rear, accessed via Westgate.

Be wary though if you're using a wheelchair. A few steps to navigate. Not insurmountable but may prove a challenge if you're wheeling solo. Disabled WC is good though.

Overall, highly recommended

We hired a room for our off site business review with the team. The booking process, food, facilities and service were all excellent. I would recommend to anyone looking for a venue for an off site business meeting. Thank you.
