The Patchwork Mouse Art Cafe in Stroud

Always a pleasure to be at The Star Anise. Lovely loose-leaf tea and a delicious goat's cheese & beetroot (& other things!) sourdough toasties then loose-leaf peppermint tea later. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly.

Service was not great, as my food order was forgotten about.The apple cake was horrible,soggy,though apples ( dried?)left most of it could not eat it.Normally we like this kind of cafe! Bread good.

Best cappuccino I've had in Stroud, perfect steamed milk! Also the ambience is great, such a lovely café.

Lovably quirky place. It's small but so well laid out that it feels light and airy inside with nicely placed seating outside.One of the best decaff coffees I've had; just the right combination of bitter and smooth. Beautifully presented at near perfect drinking temperature.The vegan carrot cake was surprisingly spicy (in a good way).Effective social distancing arrangements too.

Fresh home cooked food in a cosy ambience. Friendly staff and good service. Choice of alternative milk for coffee and they were happy to adjust the menu for me.

I just love it here - my favourite cafe! Great food, consciously crafted with top notch ingredients and immense flavours, textures and combinations.Nick and the team unfailingly offer a welcoming environment, and easily accommodate for gluten-free/vegan preferences as standard. Arty, cosy, spacious, welcoming and delicious. Highly recommended.

Friendly service. Food cooked from scratch, colourful salads, soups, fresh hummus, cakes, tortes. including home baked pastries, seeded nutty GF bread . outdoor seating. Not to mention EXTRACT coffee. the best coffee in town.

Cyclist Friendly. GF friendly.Food is excellent. Sweet potato beetroot hash brown with poached egg...Amazing.Cycle rack outside in view of seating.Warm and welcoming. Super friendly staff. Chatty and helpful.Best cafe in Stroud.

Cozy, hip café, has a backpacker homy feel to it. Food is great! Try the royal eggs, amazing!

Lovely food and a nice atmosphere. There is a fair bit of seating round the side, with high chairs if you need them.
