Hiding in the shadow of the bright lights of neighboring Starbucks, Picnic does has coffee (and latte etc) which is way better. None of the burned or overcooked flavor.

The focus here is organic and fairtrade, with lots of unique salads and sandwiches. The cooler is overstuffed with choices like Brie Cranberry Apple, Pate Brie, Vegetable Samosas and Thai Green Chicken. Crisps ("chips" in American) are also interesting - Worcester Sauce and Sundried Tomato, Bloody Mary and Mature Cheddar with Red Onion. I spotted a smattering of pastries as well, as I enjoyed my coffee.

Would I return? An unqualified yes!

Very nice soup and sandwiches but the salads have to much couscous and rocket for my liking.

This place is seriously delightful for a light and inexpensive lunch. If chorizo and sun dried tomatoes and other things yuppy but oh so good are your style then let's go here and get a picnic lunch box- you can pick and choose what you wish to indulge in or you can give in to one of their ready prepared concotions- some of the lentil salads have felt terrifically healthy. Not guilty feelings there. The place is very small but your lunch will be packed in a very handy take away box. However, if you do want to sit then there are two little tables and a window bench, or in nicer weather they put out a table or two. They have a lovely tea selection too, and homemade flapjacks. You do need to watch out here though, that you don't go way over lunch budget- it does become rather tempting. It is a refreshing little place to have in the centre of Reading.
