Eliane was founded by Rafia Willmott in 2014 following a period of serious illness in her family. Rafia began exploring how food and cooking could support his recovery and overall wellbeing.

What began as home cooking soon became the first Eliane café in Hungerford, created as a place where people could eat confidently and comfortably, regardless of dietary preferences.

Over time the business has expanded to include additional cafés, cookbooks, retreats and a clinic.

Tracing our ingredients to their origins sits at the centre of how we cook.

We work with local farms, dairies and bakeries wherever possible, choosing organic produce and quality suppliers who prioritise responsible farming and traditional methods.

Food is prepared from scratch in our cafés each day, from freshly pressed juices to the salads, brunch dishes and cakes on the counter.
