Had the best experience in this little store which is jam-packed full of lovely tasty treats, every days snacks, bread, cakes, deli meats and olives and Seedlip distilled non -alcoholic drinks, 90% plastics packaging free. lovely people, great concept, well worth becoming a regular customer

One of my favorite places. Amazing food and you’ll feel like family the moment you walk in.

I called in to grab something for lunch. I had the most delicious couscous salad and a couple of muffin sized frittatas, so tasty. The shop was full of the most wonderfully curated food and drink, which you definitely can’t get in a chain supermarket. I will be back!

I came with my friend, her new born baby and her small gentle dog. We werent sure if dogs were allowed in because there was no sign but dog bowls outside the shop. We couldn’t ask anyone because they were all chatting at the back with one another so we went in. The owner of the shop was about to help us with buying something but as soon as she saw the dog she became very hostile and rude and kicked us out abruptly ascorting us out to the door, lying about the shop being closed even though the sign said open and Google said it was open as if we were thief’s or something. We love to support small businesses and we live near the area but we do not appreciated this hostile and discriminative behaviour. We will not be coming back..

What a great place to be, shop and purchase. Visited today (long overdue); Kate and the team were really welcoming and the cards, gifts, late breakfast and early lunch we bought were lovely and delicious respectively. So pleased to have another date in the diary to repeat.

Is addictive!! Friendly service scrumptious homemade products. The vegan sweet potato & kidney bean sausage roll are dreamy, literally. Looking forward to trying all the other delights. Worth a detour to this fabulous store!

An exceptional shop, run by two exceptional people. It is so beautifully laid out and is a real feast for your senses when you walk in.

The produce is excellent and there are so many items from suppliers locally and further afield.

Whilst it may be pricey, it really is worth it. Their pastries and sandwiches are really great and well worth a try.

Finally, Stuarts taste in music always make me smile. He's always playing some well worth a listen to!

The store is quite trendy and the produce looked nice but we bough some figs and they were mouldy in less than 24 hours after purchase. They cost £4.41 for 450g and we where only able to eat half of them.
There are loads of interesting trendy ingredients in store but the prices are over the top. It also lacks some essentials. There are only two stores to buy food in Goring and they are both extremely different in price and offerings.
