BANBURYS

Banburys feels like that department store café that could be great, but is somehow just okay. You’ve got a mix of laundry lists of praises for the retail side, with some folks coming for the shopping and ending up dining. Emma Paisey found the staff helpful, while others noted the café's layout as a bit chaotic. The food, while decent, seems to miss the mark when it comes to consistency.

While you can grab a quick lunch, don’t expect a culinary masterpiece. The coffee and cakes could certainly use a refresh—dried-up scones just won’t cut it for a proper cafe experience. Banburys is a safe bet if you're in the area and just need a quick bite, but don't expect to be blown away. It’s a cafe that exists but doesn’t do much beyond that.
