Alfonso is a cafe in Stratton, just outside Cirencester, where you can grab coffee, tea, or a light bite without any pretension.
It works equally well whether you're fueling up with breakfast before heading out for the day or taking a break in the afternoon. The atmosphere is relaxed and genuinely friendly—the kind of place that feels like it belongs to the community rather than being designed to impress visitors.
Stratton itself deserves attention if you're exploring the area. It's a quiet village that offers a more tranquil base than Cirencester town centre, yet you're only a few minutes away whenever you want to visit. That convenient location means you can easily reach Cirencester's Roman remains or spend time at the Abbey grounds, and it's equally good for launching countryside walks in the surrounding area. You'll probably find yourself passing through Stratton at some point during a Cotswolds trip, whether you're moving between different parts of the region or staying locally for a few days. Alfonso serves as a practical stopping point during those journeys—a place to pause, eat something decent, and recharge before carrying on.
