Welcome to Lavender Bakehouse & Coffee Shop
Established in Chalford, Stroud, Lavender Bakehouse & Coffee Shop has evolved from a historic Cooperative store into a beloved local hub for artisanal food and hospitality. Our journey began with a commitment to preserving the charm of the original premises while offering modern, high-quality dining experiences. We specialise in freshly baked goods using locally sourced ingredients, complemented by a carefully curated menu of breakfasts, lunches, and traditional afternoon teas served in vintage china. Our catering services extend to private events, weddings, and corporate functions, with bespoke platters and buffets prepared to order. The upstairs gift shop showcases curated homeware and foodie gifts, enhancing our community-focused ethos.With outdoor seating and a community book swap, we aim to create a welcoming space that reflects the character of the Cotswolds. Our team prioritises sustainability through partnerships with local suppliers and waste-reduction initiatives. Over the years, we have maintained connections with original Cooperative-era customers while attracting new generations. The building's heritage as a grain store and florist informs our unique aesthetic and dedication to preserving local history. We offer flexible ordering options including dine-in, takeaway, and advance bookings for special occasions. Our seasonal specials and summer drinks menu ensure there's always something new to discover.
