Dee Caf Community Cafe 12 Spey Road, Reading RG30 4DG

"Wish we'd discovered this sooner! We popped into Dee Caf this weekend after hearing great things and weren't disappointed; the food was really very tasty and the owner was super friendly. We had the fish finger toastie (both the messiest and one of the best I've had) and the very plentiful full English (got 5* from my husband). The eggs were so good that we bought a pack of six local eggs whilst there. Really nice to see Reading businesses support each other! We'll be back for sure :)"

"What a lovely place. Tina was so nice and welcoming despite being on her own and really up against. She interacted with all the customers. What a great community spot. Breakfast was lovely and the coffee was spot on. I really wish her the best."

"Stopped in for a coffee during a bike ride and was so warmly welcomed by the woman behind the counter (who I think runs the place) that I ended up staying instead of taking my drink to go. The menu was surprisingly extensive for both hot drinks and food, the latter in particularly being so affordable. There were so many toasties I’d love to try. Also loads of lovely extras for the community, including a free hot meal for those in need on Wednesday afternoons, a weekly Dads-specific meet up and an eco-refill shop with a range of toiletries. Really recommend this little community gem."

"So happy to have finally made a visit to this lovely, friendly cafe. I had a great coconut milk cappuccino (several choices for alternative milk) & my Samostie was DELICIOUS! It's such a great, truly local business. I will definitely be back!"

"Dee Caf is run by an amazing person, Tina. Her and the team have brought a fantastic little venue to a bit of Reading that was lacking food/drink. She's an amazing cook herself (you've gotta try the carrot cake!), but she also teams up with Rise Bakehouse for some of their cakes. Not only does she sell local honey, flowers/plants and rewards litter picking with freebies... But she's just started stocking refillable household items (shower gel, detergent etc). She's even had local artists in to decorate the venue. If you're in a rush, I'd definitely recommend calling them to order ahead. If it's nice weather, Tina also puts a couple of tables outside as well as the indoor seating. In the picture is my favourite item on the menu: freshly pan-fried sourdough, stuffed with garlic, cheese and mushrooms. It's a dream. Had it with one of the Rise Bakehouse weekend specials."
