Lavender Bakehouse

About

Lavender Bakehouse is a charming café tucked away in Chalford, Stroud, offering a relaxed and welcoming environment for locals and visitors alike. With a warm, country‑style décor and both indoor and outdoor seating, it is an ideal spot for a leisurely breakfast, a mid‑day bite or a cosy afternoon tea. The café prides itself on using locally sourced ingredients and its menu features a wide range of freshly baked goods, savoury breakfasts, hearty lunches, and a selection of vegetarian and vegan treats. One of the café’s signature experiences is its traditional Afternoon Cream Tea, served from 2 pm to 4 pm and available for both in‑house dining and takeaway. The tea is presented with a mini sweet scone topped with clotted cream, jam, and a variety of homemade cakes, finger sandwiches, and favourably seasoned scones. For special occasions, a glass of prosecco can be added, and the café can cater to larger groups for events such as birthdays, baby showers, and wedding parties. The café also offers a small gift shop upstairs, where visitors can purchase local craft items, gift vouchers, and seasonal products. With free Wi‑Fi, a friendly staff, and a commitment to gluten‑free and vegan options, Lavender Bakehouse provides a memorable British café experience that feels both homely and refined. While the café welcomes walk‑ins, it is recommended that you book ahead, especially for breakfast and lunch, as indoor tables are limited and can fill quickly on busy days. For afternoon cream tea, bookings are essential, and the café accepts deposits for larger parties.
