Richmonds Bakery - Isle of Wight

We called in 15 minutes before closing and they were still happy to make us a drink. They did warn us that they may be cleaning around us, but we were fine with that. The lattes were lovely and the service was great. Even though it's not a large café and there are only a few places to sit, it's definitely worth a visit.

We got takeout sandwiches and were extremely disappointed. Some of the ingredients were missing (coleslaw), the ham seemed artificial rather than homemade, and the bread was mediocre. I would not recommend.

Now why are chains like Costa 's 's so busy when there are gems like this almost empty? Absolutely brilliant cafe, guys. And please, please support the local indie coffee shops- aren 't there about Starbucks etc. in the world already!

Stumbled on this little cafe whilst walking around Cowes and were drawn in by the beautiful cakes on display in the window. The cupcakes are a work of art and seems a shame to destroy to eat them. Ordered a couple of coffees and a chocolate brownie to share! The brownie was absolutely perfect, lovely and sticky and very rich, half was plenty! Our coffee was made to perfection and I must admit the best I have had in a long time, just wished I had ordered a large one! Just one slight observation although it did not affect us. A customer asked where the toilets were, he was politely told that they don’t have any and was directed to the public toilets across the road!

Needed a well earned coffee and were drawn in here by the rather excellent cakes in the window. They tasted as good as they looked and with an excellent cup of coffee it was thirty minutes well spent. Must also say that the young woman who served us was very polite and good not do enough. 5 stars all day.
