Indulgence Barton Marina sits comfortably at the heart of Barton Marina, blending the easy-going nature of a neighbourhood café with a touch of indulgence that makes it stand out. More than just a spot for your morning caffeine fix, it’s the kind of place locals drop into throughout the day — whether for a well-crafted cappuccino or a casual mid-afternoon break with pastries and chocolates.

The indoor space is modest but clean and welcoming, backed by consistently friendly staff who seem to remember repeat visitors and foster a relaxed vibe. Outdoors, there’s plenty of seating where you can settle in with a coffee or glass of wine while soaking in the marina’s laid-back atmosphere. This makes it especially inviting on sunny weekends when people linger over drinks or share one of their variety of toasted croissants and light bites like the Caprese or ham & cheese options.

For coffee lovers, the espresso-based drinks like cappuccinos and cortados are reliable picks, and the addition of montaditos offers something a little different if you’re looking for a small savory snack. Meanwhile, the handcrafted chocolates and pastries play a starring role, matching well with afternoon teas or prosecco for a low-key treat. The menu’s drinks list broadens the offer beyond coffee, with cocktails like Aperol Spritz and Limoncello Gin Fizz lending a social angle to the space that local visitors appreciate.

The welcoming atmosphere makes Indulgence a practical stop after an errand run—such as a visit to nearby vet facilities—or a meaningful spot for quiet reflection or meeting friends. Walk-ins, solo visitors, and dog owners all find their place here; pet-friendly ice cream even makes four-legged guests feel considered. Weekends and sunny mornings seem to be a particular sweet spot, drawing a mix of locals out for easy chats, casual dates, or just a moment to enjoy the marina views at a gentle pace.

Overall, Indulgence Barton Marina works best as a low-key social hub where the focus is on approachable food and drinks paired with genuine service. It’s not a flashy venue but one that fits naturally into the rhythm of Barton-under-Needwood life, offering a cozy corner to pause and indulge in simple pleasures without fuss.

Thank you for making Dad’s visit yesterday so special for his 80th Birthday! You went above and beyond to accommodate when friends purchased a voucher for him for his birthday, but were unable to collect it, so you kindly passed it on to him directly on his visit yesterday. He felt so special with the chocolate and candle touch too! Thanks for being a fab place he feels comfortable going solo every weekend with my Dog and meeting friends he made from just visiting Indulgence regularly. Fantastic views & location, perfect dog friendly place, tasty drinks and excellent customer service! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I love popping in here occasionally for coffee or mulled wine while waiting for my washing. They’re always so friendly and the mulled wine and coffee are amazing. I recently took my partner for coffee and cake on his birthday and he jokingly requested a candle too. The cakes were delicious and he got his candle and the staff sang happy birthday. It absolutely made his day! Thank you so much (I didn’t get a pic of the candle as he took it out so quickly)

My partner and I visited Indulgence for a hot chocolate after a Sunday walk. The hot chocolate, complete with all the toppings, was absolutely delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly. We have found our new favourite place for a winter warmer! Added bonus: They accept cash!!
