Mason Rye at Fenwick is a calm, café spot tucked near Fenwick’s entrance in Bracknell, offering more than just your typical coffee stop. It’s the kind of place locals drift into for a quality caffeine fix paired with thoughtfully presented cakes like their passion fruit opera or rich chocolate brownie. The menu includes familiar staples—soya lattes, flat whites, and generous slices of coffee cake—which serve well alongside quieter breaks from shopping or mid-morning catch-ups.

The atmosphere is relaxed and unhurried, making it an inviting spot whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee or settling in for some downtime. A neat touch for regulars is the availability of free water, easily helping yourself to as you unwind. Staff tend to be consistent and friendly, with a few names standing out in conversations for their welcoming service—an aspect that adds to the easy vibe here.

Seating extends outdoors when the weather allows, though this can depend on staffing and timing, so you might not always find the cushions or full setup outside during your visit. Despite that, the shared space feels casual rather than cramped, fitting for a place where people come to slow down, read, or meet casually.

This cafe leans towards the premium side in terms of price, which reflects in the quality of both coffee and cakes. It’s a place best enjoyed by those who appreciate well-crafted drinks and sweet treats amid a discreet setting rather than a bustling, high-energy hub. Ideal visits would be mid-mornings or early afternoons when the spot holds a quiet, chilled atmosphere without feeling empty.

Lovely discreet cafe near the entrance of Fenwick. The staff are polite, friendly, and have a great customer service. The coffee’s were great and the cakes were delicious. There is also free water you can help yourself too. The cakes were delicious and well presented, though best in mind are on the premium end. Worth a try though Overall good experience and the atmosphere is nice and chilled and perfect for a sunny afternoon.

Visit here regularly. Good team that have worked there a long time so always a good indicator. Price point on the high side but quality is excellent. My only gripe is it’s great to be able to sit outside when the weather is good. However, the cushions seem only to go out randomly and when asked, staff say there wasn’t sufficient people on duty to put out that day. You also seem to share the space with Fenwick staff eating their own made lunches so it has the feel of a staff area. Shame as I feel a lot more could be made of this area (perhaps with an attended outside station at busy times) which would only improve their revenues and the customer experience.

Always really impressed with the food and drinks at Mason & Rye. I’ve tried flat whites in most Bracknell cafes and this is by far my favourite- it’s just the right strength, smooth and velvety. As good as Gail’s, if slightly better. The salads are delicious and veggie friendly. It’s nice to have a healthy place to eat in town thats high quality and tastes great too. The cakes, brownies and pastries are also all delicious. I live under 5 mins away (on foot) and often buy breakfast to take away. It’s more expensive than most cafes in Bracknell food-wise but worth it for a treat. Oh, and although they don’t allow dogs inside, they’re very dog friendly outside and have often brought a bowl of water out for my dog.
