we thought for coffee and lunch during shopping, there were no waiting snakes, the coffee was excellent, we had both milk and milk free options. we had cakes that were delicious, fresh and filling, expensive but worth it. we had a beautiful view of the sea from inside. we sat in comfortable chairs through a window and it was clean and accessible. the staff was very friendly and helpful, and our order was served in less than ten minutes. the coffee was hot and better than most. we will definitely return. the only part was a cake in the box that we bought to take home was completely stale, but the others were all perfect. a very beautiful place.
Had a buy-a-gift experience unfortunately didn't live up to our expectations. Had a few afternoon teas elsewhere and hoped this would be good, as friends who had been there(not for afternoon tea)thought it was good. The sandwiches were OK but very small the scones were nice, one plain one with sultanas. Didn't really like any of the cakes, again quite small, maybe one was OK ish. The tea was quite pleasant but the second pot was strong and cool by the time we had it. Maybe if it hadn't been a Buy-a-gift experience just ordered there it may have been better, we'll never know as only get disappointed once.
we visited patisserie valerie today for afternoon tea with 45 minutes drive to finally use one of our Christmas gifts. I had read previous reviews, but went open. the greeting was warm and genuine. the place was perfectly clean as all the tables. the afternoon was nice and included free tea or coffee refills that was a bonus. we were also impressed by rushden lakes shopping centre, spacious and very suitable for disabled visitors.
it was a Christmas gift. I took my best friend. it was very quiet so that we in the location, a really good nattering they enjoy the tee, made of sandwiches 2 mini-scones jam and cream and 3 delicious cakes and around it from refillable tee. we enjoyed it very much. would be highly recommended.

Excellent service and value for money. It was a sunny Friday afternoon but not very busy. Staff were polite and helpful. The extra cakes to take away were a bonus.
I thought they would have all closed after the fraudster surprised to find it was openly beautiful cake and coffee as expected
Great hot chocolate and only before for a takeaway!! Lovely drinking it in a deckchair with great view of the lake.
good cakes and drinks, but the furntiure is incredibly worn through and needs a refreshment.

It is a real shame this coffee shop doesn't do the full pat val menu.
Amazing afternoon tea, lovely selection of sandwiches and cakes
