Chris and his staff always go the extra mile and serve some of the best coffee I've ever had. They also source fantastic snacks and pastries to accompany the great drinks selection (which often includes lots of seasonal and often left field concoctions to try). They also now have a dedicated outside tables as well as the indoor set up so great whatever the weather.

Absolutely brilliant. Great coffee, delicious cakes. My kids loved their hot chocolates and treats after playing at the nearby BMX park. Friendly, clean and lots of things to do nearby. Cannot recommend enough.

This independent coffee shop is a hidden gem. It serves coffee of a quality you'd expect in some of the best independent coffee shops. The first time I visited this place I was very surprised - you don't usually expect this quality at a coffee shop in this kind of location! I can only highly recommend it. Particularly great if you have kids or dogs... Given there's parking and a huge playing field and well equipped playground right outside, you can stop and get your caffeine fix whilst your dog or kids run off some steam. Also serves a good range of light snacks (sweet and savoury) and ice cream, too - even dog friendly ones! Highly recommended.

We are so thrilled that the DugOut exists! We’ve spent many a day down at the Burrows and now there is a fantastic café to visit when we fancy a treat! Locally roasted Fire and Flow coffee, Wholly Gelato icecream, Hayles Farm fruit juices and Tubby Toms bacon dusted tater-tots are all family favourites! The focus on local producers is a huge selling point and definitely does not go unnoticed! Who wouldn’t rather pay a little more for something locally made? Plus there is a bring your own cup discount! The staff are really friendly and helpful and they put on great events for families throughout the year too! The outside seating area is a great addition to the park and makes chilly trips to the playground much more pleasant. Plus if the weather really turns there are a whole host of toys inside to keep the kids occupied! A fantastic addition to Leckhampton!

Our favourite coffee shop in Cheltenham! The coffee is delicious, we have also tried many of the sweets treats on display and particularly like Chris' homemade brownie we love that it is dog and child friendly and have always been made to feel really welcome with both our cocker spaniel and our baby. Can't recommend it enough!

Polite and friendly staff, very professional service. Delicious food and coffee. Love that the menu is varied and specials are always on offer. The quality of the food is very high and the owner seeks out local resources for the customers. Lovely to sit outside in the sunshine too. Family friendly and dog always welcome and catered for. Really enjoy the seasonal events and a super place to take a stroll. Really recommend!

What a fabulous cafe, absolutely amazing high class coffee, and the lovely owner made me a lovely keto lunch especially for me as I’m diabetic as he completely understood. The prices and quality is outstanding, beautiful park for walking and playground for children. Lots of choices for children to eat and drink. If you have not been you’re missing out. Extremely dog friendly, my golden retriever was very welcome and got a treat and put on the paws of fame.
