The Diplomat - Cheltenham

This place is certainly popular! When we were there the place was packed inside and the only seating was outside and one poor family had no choice but to sit outside as cold as it was, so luckily we were just getting takeaway coffees! I had soy latte and husband had flat white and while mine was fine husband said his was one of the worst coffees he'd ever had! Would like to go and have a meal there as nice vegetarian options, including my fav, avocado smash. 5.8 next door for meal but they don't do coffee so called in here for takeaway decaf soy latte and flat white. And my decaf wasn't bitter like other places have given me recently.

I’ve always loved this place. The coffee is good enough to make my day. The spacious indoor tables are giving a cozy and private vibe. Open chicken brings me appetite and trust. Here’s definitely a coming back place.

Service and quality has dropped in recent times from what I remember this place used to be. I used to work in a kitchen so understand how food is prepped but able to retain the fresh taste, but it’s like their food is warmed up in a microwave before being served. I will say that their chai’s are amazing. Overall need to reconsider how their business runs, especially in the kitchen.

I had visited last Sunday. They are quite busy, but our brunch was tasty. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Also the coffee was perfectly aromatic flavour

I hadn't been for years.. Visited yesterday lunch, no one in the store. Service was good however little overpriced. I paid. 5.50 for small bowl of mushrooms as a side to salmon bagel I asked for toast instead) Atmosphere is great, well spaced and colors light and plants hanging from ceiling. Ok revisted today 22/2/23 and staff remembered us and now regulars. P.s had chocolate cookie for dessert. Sweet tooth ? Perfect chunks of chocolate throughout and not dry perfect portion. My new favourite salmon Benedict! The flavours are amazing!!!!
