Create. Sip. Relax.
We’re Thread & Toast - a cosy, dog-friendly café with lots of gluten-free options and craft hub designed to bring people together over great coffee, homemade bakes, and a dash of creativity.
A cosy café in Overton where good coffee, great food, and creativity come together. Whether you're dropping in for a quiet moment, meeting friends, or picking up a craft project, Thread & Toast is a place to slow down and make something.
We believe cafés should feel like home, crafts should be fun and accessible, and everyone (including your four-legged friends) should feel welcome.

Walks Near Thread & Toast
If you're planning a walk with a cosy stop-off, you're in the perfect place. Thread & Toast sits in the heart of a beautiful countryside, surrounded by some truly lovely walking routes - including the Jane Austen Trail.
We've shared three local walks you can enjoy nearby before popping in for a coffee, something to eat, or a well-earned rest.
We kindly ask that you stick to the footpaths, pick up after your dogs, and help us take care of the space we’re lucky enough to share.
Our Team
At Thread & Toast, we’re all about people, community, and wagging tails. Here’s the crew behind the coffee, cakes, and crafts:
Tory Simpson
Hi, I’m Tory, founder of Thread & Toast, trained chef, lifelong craft-lover, and someone who’s always got at least three creative projects on the go.
With a background in catering and a brain wired for curiosity (I have ADHD), I’ve always found joy in making things, whether it’s the perfect poached egg or a hand-stitched bookmark. But I never found a space that truly blended comfort, creativity and good food, so I built one.
Thread & Toast is the space I was searching for: warm, inclusive, a little bit beautiful, and especially welcoming for those of us who sometimes feel overwhelmed in traditional cafés or busy social settings. It’s a place to relax, make, sip, snack, and just be.
Come as you are and maybe leave with something you made.
Lisa Graves
Hi, I’m Lisa, co-founder of Thread & Toast, passionate baker, and the friendly face you’ll find front of house, ready with a chat and probably a slice of something delicious.
Baking has always been my love language. I’ve been making cakes for friends, family and neighbours for as long as I can remember, not just because I love the process, but because I love seeing people light up over a slice of homemade sponge.
To me, good cake brings comfort, and good conversation brings community.
I wanted to be part of Thread & Toast because it’s not just a café, it’s a space for slowing down, being creative, and feeling like you belong.
And if you leave with a warm heart and a crumb or two on your jumper, then I’ve done my job right.
Daniel
Hi, I’m Daniel, co-founder of Thread & Toast, builder, problem-solver, and the person usually found behind the scenes fixing, making or improving something.
I’ve spent my working life turning ideas into something real, so creating Thread & Toast from the ground up has been a real labour of love. From building the counters and fitting the kitchen to keeping everything working, I’m the practical hands behind much of what you see.
For me, Thread & Toast is about creating a place that feels warm, relaxed and genuinely welcoming. Somewhere people can enjoy good food, get creative and feel completely comfortable being themselves.
If something needs building, repairing or figuring out, I’m probably already on it, usually with Augs not too far behind.
