The Best Cafes in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom (2025)

Perfect place for dinner! Really good homemade food and very good prices as well. Service really lovely! You need to try the meat platter for sure! Highly recommended!

Absolutely love this Cafe. We go out of our way to go there. Clean, tidy, good food, lovely coffee and great service. Can’t wait to go back.

Always my favourite place to eat breakfast ! Food is always so good and they’re so friendly

The food is absolutely amazing and such great prices but it's the staff that really make cafe aroma special. It is run by the most wonderful family who make their guests dining experience their top priority. The waitress magda is fantastic and very attentative. You will never feel more welcomed and valued as a customer than when dining in cafe aroma. It's wheelchair friendly too!

Happy coming here for brunch and coffee/scones. Sadly cheddar&chives scones usually sold out afternoon. Want more!

I really enjoyed the food and coffee. The space was light and airy, air conditioning was set to a lovely temperature. Appeared popular with a few working on laptops around the seating area. The disappointment was the number of tables that hadn't been cleared - trays, cups and plates on just about every table!

At GAIL, we host pleasant gatherings with freshly made bread and excellent coffee. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Recommend.

Great coffee shop, best Americano for miles around. Good selection of food and cakes. Had a sausage bap which was excellent. Lovely staff, nice relaxed atmosphere and cool music. Who needs Costa eh?

Very nice dog friendly cafe. Nice ladies, good pot of tea and fresh cakes. Even dog biscuits for our two hounds! Nice clean toilet. No substantive parking as far as I could see.

The day I went. They must have had a supply issue. Every item I asked for wasn't available. But I was still determined to make a purchase. Smashed avocado on toast with a latte. Plenty of seating..great seating. Relaxed atmosphere.

Really nice lunch stop. Dog friendly plus treats. Charming staff, loads of indoor (plugs with USB charging) and outdoor seating and clean facilities. We walked, but parking outside too. Two coffees, two packets of crisps, two toasties and one cake £22 hence lost one star (or is that the cost of living crisis in practice?!). Coffees and toasties were particularly excellent!
