About a Nibsy's afternoon-tea...
Each handcrafted afternoon-tea, which is designed for one person, includes:
Why is eating-in not an option when ordering through Nibsy's?
Perhaps you have missed the news about the handover of the coffee shop to new owners, in the summer of 2021? It's still completely gluten-free there, so if you're wanting to book a sit-down afternoon-tea you can visit Yaylo.co to find out more and book with them.
- Homemade scone, with clotted cream and Jam (dairy-free spread for vegan/dairy-free ones)
- A selection of vegetarian sandwiches or quiche (quiches aren't available for dairy-free and vegan options)
- A range of Nibsy's cakes to meet your dietary requirements - they vary so will be a surprise for you and always include a variety of colours and textures. If there is a cake you especially want included, please just ask though and will get that included in the selection you receive.

To find out more and order yours
Whilst it's only the lower proportion of us who are Coeliac or gluten intolerant, we are often the ones who need to be considered first, when thinking about ordering food for events, gatherings or when meeting up with family and friends. With the rise in awareness and demand for dairy-free and vegan options too, I can also cater for those needs, whilst not compromising on taste and enjoyment.
I have many years baking experience, everything is always made using the best quality ingredients, entirely hand-crafted and made with passion - my main Moto is that everything I make must taste fantastically joyful regardless of it all being gluten-free. I like to create food that makes people feel good.
All baked goods are prepared in a kitchen that has a food hygiene rating of 5, following inspection by the local authority.

How to order and what to do next
1) Check you're either willing to travel to West Reading to collect your treats or if you need delivery, are within the map below.
2) There is a minimum order of 6 afternoon-teas. Why is this? Everything is made to order and from scratch, on a date of your choosing. The biggest cost factor after the cost of ingredients and running of the commercial oven to bake all the separate elements in the box, is the cost of my time which is a very reasonable hourly rate. Therefore small orders are just not feasible with the current business model unfortunately.
3) Want to go ahead or have any questions before hand? Simply send an email to [email protected] with the date you'd like to order for along with what you'd like / any questions you have. Or use the enquiry form on the 'Get in touch' page.
4) I will come back to you via email within 24hrs and to let you know if I can cater for the date you're looking for. Please check your junk/spam emails.
5) Once you're happy to go ahead, you will receive a payment link via email and once paid, your order is all booked in.

Delivery information
1) Local delivery; A delivery charge applies and varies from £3.50 to £12 depending on how far you are from the RG30 postcode which is where I set off from. Delivery areas on the edge of the map can take well over an hour round trip, hence the variation to delivery charges / increase cost is to just about cover either time or fuel. If you are on the cusp or a bit further (such as Bracknell), I might still be able to schedule the time to come that far, please feel free to enquire.
2) Collection from my home: I live in West Reading, just off the Oxford Road. The postcode is RG30 2RP and is 10 minute drive from the centre of Reading, and close to Prospect Park. Collections always welcome. 3) Collection from Fidget and Bob (on selected dates, TBC). Or you can choose to collect from our friends at Fidget and Bob café over on Kennet Island (near Madejeski Stadium, just off the M4) if that's more convenient for you. |
Reviews
"Baked to perfection and delivered with a smile, what more could I wish for. The afternoon tea is so beautifully presented and tastes amazing. I have tried many different afternoon teas and can hand on heart say that this is by far the best. Thanks so much, I can’t wait for the next one…."

"Yummy! Finally an afternoon tea that we can all enjoy together. Delivery was great, and everything was so fresh. The selection you receive is superb, and the packaging was lovely. This is a generous portion, and the information on each item was useful (so you know how to store it, and what you can save for another day if needed). A real treat for those both gluten free and not. Thanks Nibsy's!"

"Naomi is an absolute god send! 2 times I’ve messaged now in a pickle and needing an urgent bake for my hubby and both times she’s gone out of her way to fit me in. The bakes were so beautifully presented and tasted absolutely amazing. She takes so much pride and care in all that she puts out! The donut kits are amazing too we’ve also had the vegan treat box which was again to die for! I will definitely be coming back, I would highly recommend Nibsy, you won’t find a better GF/DF bake she is the queen of allergy baking! ❤️🥰❤️🥰"

"Always a delight to enjoy Nibsy's products - brings back many happy memories of the cafe, always my wife's favourite place to eat (she's Ceoliac). Wonderful variety and quality as always, with friendly efficient service. The option to pick up in Reading is really appreciated as we live just outside your delivery zone! Thank you and looking forward to our next opportunity to indulge!"
