I visited the Cauldron Cafe Emporium yesterday with my Husband. I had seen it on TV and as we had a holiday already booked in The Cotswolds, I I booked it. We were greeted by Jo who was really friendly, she explained everything and then let us enjoy our experience. It was absolutely brilliant with so much attention to detail. All the food was delicious and cleverly thought out. You can tell she has put her heart and soul into it. I’ve never had an afternoon tea like it, and I’ve had quite a few! I would absolutely recommend visiting the Cauldron Cafe Emporium

I can't find the right words to relay how absolutely AMAZING our afternoon tea experience was today! We were totally blown away. The lady was super friendly, kind and goes out of her way to ensure you have the best time. So many extra little details, she's literally thought of everything. We were like overwhelmed excited kids at Christmas! She has so many other ideas and plans in the pipeline that I'm so excited for too. Gained 2 customers for life today. I can't wait to come back.

We visited here for the afternoon last Saturday and had a fabulous time! The atmosphere and the attention to detail was amazing. It was very interactive and the food was delicious with a good selection of sweet and savoury. We really loved our welcome drink, unicorn tears. The host was lovely and after introducing and explaining how the experience works we were left to it, ringing the bell if we needed anything. She also showed us around her workshop afterwards, which was really interesting. This was a great little find and would definitely recommend.

Absolute fantastic afternoon tea experience, I took my friend here for a birthday gift and we were not disappointed. The lovely little cafe with its fantasy experience of making your own herbal tea to reading oracle cards and lovely food and fantastic owner and staff. Takes you back to being a child.

If I had to sum up our experience today I would just say WOW! Absolutely amazing afternoon. When they say its an immersive experience, they really mean it. My friend and I are not witches but are more spiritual in nature and we loved the whole vibe of the place. Its an incredibly relaxing and intimate atmosphere. I will admit i was a little unsure about mixing our own teas but it tasted devine. Learning about the different herbs was really interesting and we each blended a brew to support our needs and tastes. I had never done a reading before with cards and so I asked for some help as I didn't want to do it an injustice. I did as instructed and picked a past present and future card and honestly I cant believe how spot on they are for how my life is going at the moment. The afternoon tea was delicious and I love that we get our own servings too. The warm savoury bites as well as the rolls really went down well and great assortment of mini cakes too. I will say the place has the most amazing feel to it. It was a very chilled atmosphere and I felt really at ease. The hosts are just fantastic and really make the whole experience an unforgettable one. Their shop has some amazing things so bring a bit of spending money too (one of the necklaces really spoke to me and came home with me). Really appreciate all the advice and the Anxiety Tea and Celtic Salts. We will 100% be back again and hopefully make a weekend of it camping too with friends and maybe participate in a cpl of classes when you have them up and running. Thanks again for making the perfect afternoon escape

I had my birthday afternoon tea here today and had the most amazing, unique time! The owner has clearly put in a lot of thought and attention to designing this mythical experience for her customers. The atmosphere was spot-on, and my husband and I really enjoyed making our own tea blend before reading our oracle cards and making our spell jars. Out comes the afternoon tea with a wide range of savoury and sweet goodies. The visit ended with a tour around the owners workshop and we got a leaving gift too. The lady gave me a birthday present too. Thanks for making this a special, memorable experience

We had a magical afternoon tea at the Cauldron Cafe Emporium. The food was great, and the atmosphere was perfect. Great service, and the attention to detail on all the elements was fantastic. I especially liked creating my own herbal tea mix. Would highly recommend for a very different afternoon out!
