Been there couple of times and loved their fresh homemade food. Nice to find there are a few vegan options as well. This place is like a gem hidden behind Costa snd Starbucks but way better than them. They also offer hand squeezed orange juice.
I would rather support a small business than a chain coffeehouse.
Exceptional service
Perfectly crafted flat white
Sausage roll was well seasoned and tasty.
Light, fluffy carrot cake with perfect balance of nuts and a scrumptious cream cheese icing
Very pleasant cafe selling warm drinks including coffee, cakes and meal boxes. Because of Covid you were unable to sit inside but this changed now. You can see their cakes through the window. In a town full of coffee chains, it's good to see we still have independents and these should be supported. Visited on 30/04/22 and were able to sit inside. Quite a small cafe. Quick service from friendly staff.
Picnic is one of my favourite coffee places in Reading! Coffee is alway top quality, food is always different from week to week (fishcakes are my personal favourite 👍😊). Very decent vegan sausage rolls 👍😊 I love their soups and stews during the winter 👍 Desserts are mouthwatering, carrot cake is the tenderest and delicious out of all to my taste😋 Also love their "Apple and maple"! Recommended this place to many people and everyone was always pleased with taste and quality ❤️
I like this place. Some original food and cakes rather than the usual hash of burgers and pre packaged snacks.
Service is friendly and efficient. It’s small and without a lot of seating. I love to take a coffee and snack and sit at the outside tables and watch the strange and wonderful residents of Reading stroll by.
Convenient spot for a bite to eat, offering both eat in and take away options. The goats cheese and pine nut toastie was lovely, even if slightly overpriced. The iced coffees were nice too but the fact that they don’t have a toilet is quite surprising. Definitely something to note if dining in - it put us off so we got food to go.
Delish summer salad for a great price (£6 to go). My meal was made GF for me as well. Quick service.

I cannot describe how great is the food. I love their fresh salad boxes they are very unique and very creative, the cake ate always tasty and fresh and lots of variety to choose from. I definitely recommend that everyone should try this place.
A perfect flat white and croissant this morning, and a nice warm welcome in a lovely setting. Glad to find and independent cafe in Reading..Will be back!
Lovely coffee, nice atmosphere and really lovely and friendly staff! Loved being in there to people watch and will be back again!
First time popping in. Aside from the fact the food was exceptional, they staff onsite were super friendly and bubbly.
Lovely small place , we had to stop there to try one of the best carrot cakes I have ever had !
My favourite cafe in town, amazing sandwiches and really good coffee
A small place. Seating is both in and outside. The cakes are amazing, and the coffee is good. Staff are always welcoming and attentive.
Gorgeous toasties, scrummy cakes, delicious hot chocolate and lovely helpful staff. Will definitely be returning.
Delicious salad, great wood shelves, nice staff. Only not much table place except for side wall shelves.
