Leaf and Bean

The cafe does proper hot drinks, freshly baked cakes, and light lunches—a coffee and scone or a sandwich hits the spot after you've been browsing the independent shops and art galleries housed in those characteristic honey-coloured stone buildings. You can settle by the window to watch the activity outside or grab your order to take away as you wander around.

The atmosphere here is honest and unpretentious, which seems to be what draws both visitors and locals to Broadway in the first place. It's a good-value kind of place that works equally well as a starting point for your day or somewhere to recover before heading elsewhere. If you're planning to walk up to Broadway Tower for those wide countryside views, or you want to spend time in the village's distinctive boutiques, this is a practical spot to gather energy beforehand. Broadway itself sits conveniently for exploring the wider Cotswolds region, with Evesham and Moreton-in-Marsh easily within reach, so the cafe serves just as well as a resting place if you're moving between other towns. It's the sort of honest spot that tends to become a favourite when you're spending proper time in the area.
