Workhouse Coffee: Reviews & Ratings
Fabulous little coffee shop focused on doing really good authentic coffee - will definitely be going by again!
Had a regular latte... bit cold but very nice and refresh. Much more better than coast or any big brand you name it. Can’t stop myself to give a good review for this little shop.
It's quite cold (on an April morning), and theres not a lot of electrical sockets. But this place is all about the coffee, which is great! The music is not too overpowering. The food is good. Tucked away in Reading, not far from the station, this is an excellent find.
This is about great coffee, I have not eaten there. Their coffee is amazing, we buy it to take home to France because honestly after many years of living there we have not found as good coffee. I recommend a pour-over coffee/filter, Kenya AA especially is wonderful.
Very lucky to have this gem in the neighborhood. The cafe is in an attractive, well-lit building, currently being restored sympathetically, situated on the busy Oxford Road. It's close to the main transport routes in and out of town, not far from Reading West Station, perfect for commuters. The coffee is excellent, with all the popular concoctions represented (I normally have an Americano). Like most places you can get it to take away or sit in- it's a nice spot to hang out with a small amount of seating ( you can usually get a spot). They do filter and iced coffees and can buy ground coffee to take away. There's food available as well- special mention to the sausage rolls and lemon drizzle cake. Staff are excellent, very friendly and serve you efficiently. Worth stopping by for your coffee fix.
Just a perfect oat milk latte. Thank you Girls!
Tried the coffee for the first time after living around the corner for a year, slapping myself at why I didn’t come here a lot sooner! The coffee and cakes are amazing, great freshness and quality. The customer service is very kind and friendly. I didn’t catch her name but the lady serving me was so lovely and made friendly chit chat about life! Which I appreciated a lot! Best coffee shop in reading.
I absolutely love visiting your coffee shop! The warm and inviting atmosphere makes it the perfect spot to start our day. The baristas are friendly and knowledgeable, creating the most delightful coffee drinks. I can’t wait to come back for more delicious coffee and a relaxing time. Definitely better quality and taste of coffee than in other coffee shops like Costa ... etc. Keep up the fantastic work!
