A lovely little find. We popped in here for lunch and really enjoyed our visit. It's very small but quaint and cosy. Delicious food and a good selection. The coffee was great too.

We chose Aldwinckles for our small wedding reception. I saw photos of the courtyard online and the venue is so “instagrammable” that I had to have our party there. Moragh was incredible. She is super responsive and made sure everything was well planned out and organised. Nothing was too much bother! There was extra attention to detail decorations which we really appreciated. We had private hire of the coffee house with afternoon tea and a variety of drinks. It was very reasonably priced. Our guests commented how lovely the afternoon tea was. The sandwiches were well received and cakes homemade.The drinks flowed and were quickly topped up. Everything was perfect and I recommend Aldwinckles as a intimate wedding and party venue.

Aldwinckles Coffee House is a little gem in Market Harborough that you do not want to miss! It is nestled in a little covered courtyard, with an indoor space too. The little courtyard is my favourite spot: during the winter it is truly magical, and in summer you feel transported. The iced coffee is perfect, and the vegan and gluten free options for the cakes are truly wonderful, the hardest part is which one to choose!! Loveliest and most welcoming staff, a place to return to again and again.

First visit to Aldwinkles today and will certainly be back. We only had the breakfast ciabatta roll but was tasty and fresh with good quality bacon and sausage and nice touch of a small glass jar of sauce. Nicest coffee we’ve had in a while and was piping hot! Lovely, friendly, fast service and attentive staff, clean and tidy and a lovely welcome (compared to another newly opened coffee shop in Harborough where the staff ignored us and miserable!) a credit to the owners!

Highly recommend the cream cheese topped sourdough toast. This place not only prepares delicious meals, it feels like a luxurious experience without the fluff. Will come back for brunch
