A lovely little gem! No. 8 Coffee Shop may be small, but it’s full of charm and warmth. The coffee is excellent — rich, smooth, and beautifully made — with non-dairy milk options available (just a small extra charge). They also serve a great selection of pastries, quiches, and the vegan sausage rolls. I absolutely love the quirky touch of a vintage sewing machine turned into a table — such a creative detail that gives the place real character. Bonus points for being dog friendly too. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cosy spot with great food, quality coffee, and a welcoming atmosphere. Tip: The Stony Stratford Library is right across the street. If you have a library membership, it’s the perfect spot to borrow a book and enjoy it over a coffee here. There’s also convenient parking at Market Square just a short walk away.

Popped in for a few takeaway coffees. Bought some vegan chilli bean pastry and other treats. Couldn’t carry all I bought and so the waiter carried my coffee to my car!!! Blown away with friendly and helpful people

We noticed this cafe open recently and had to try it out - glad we did! The atmosphere is very calm and the place very clean and tidy and a modern interior. Flow is an excellent host and can tune the coffee to your tastes. Its quite strong by default but very smooth. I don't normally go for a stronger coffee but here I find it perfect. Excellent - easy 5 stars

Lovely independent coffee shop, really competitive prices for a coffee. We were given a free pain au chocolat at the end of the day when the shop closed, which was really appreciated. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic little independent coffee shop in the heart of Stony Stratford, opposite the oldest church in town. A very welcoming patron who clearly cares about the quality of the food and drink served here. Excellent coffee and vegan cakes and a firm recommendation.

The only thing I dislike about this cafe is in the bathroom there isn't any paper towels or a hand dryer, had to dry my hands on my jumper and tissue paper that wasn't by the toilet. Overall, I had the best service from the guy in tattoos, (I would not know his name) but he was very energetic, friendly and bubbly. I had issues connecting to the WiFi and he was doing his utmost to help me connect, but then he turned his WiFi on and off again and it worked! So I was able to do my drawing using my reference. The coffee was delicious! Strong but it was very much needed it was really nice! The ambiance was very cosy and relaxing, I was mostly into all the artwork on the back table - the big sharing table! It all looked nice - the coffee canvas was nice! Generally speaking, it is a good cafe

I randomly was walking by and saw this new caffe had opened up a few weeks back. Hands down best qualify coffee you will find on this high street. The cakes are something else too! Flo was a delight to talk to and recommended just what I wanted and needed for a Saturday afternoon. They’ve even started doing some warm bits (perfectly in time for autumn)! If you are in the area defo worth stopping by!
