Reviews
The food was amazing as usual, it always is! However on this occasion the staff attentiveness was really low. An ‘off duty’ or on a break staff member was stood to the side of the till drinking a coffee and chatting to all the team working. Distracting them all from serving. I get the social, chilled & fun work environment I really do - it adds to the atmosphere of the place. Just pay attention to the customers, I shouldn’t have to wait an age and then finally have to ask someone to take my order. Will be back but will make sure I know what I want and order when seated rather than waiting!
Cosy, bustling cafe in the centre of Hitchin. It's often quite busy and there may not be seats-- it is clearly very popular. The menu had interesting unique dishes as well as brunch classics. The coffee was decent -- they stock Allpress coffees and have a guest coffee on, too. Service was timely and the food was really good. My partner had the avocado toast and I had poached pear French toast. I did enjoy my food but the pears were barely poached- they were still quite tough. Additionally the sauce that came with the avocado toast was a bit excessive. Otherwise it was really good food, though. Would definitely come again. Nice spot.
A great spot for lunch with a very yummy menu! Really can’t wait to go back. Those hash browns are a must!
Really nice cafe. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about allergens. Had a lovely gluten free groundwork’s breakfast with the sausage (gluten containing) substituted for extra bacon.
Lovely experience going here for coffee and brunch. Service was fantastic. Food was excellent and coffee was delicious. While slightly on the expensive side, the quality is high and I think I’ve convinced myself it was worth it. They also handled an allergy without issue and with confidence which was great. Get the grilled cheese and some hash browns! I’d love to have more rosemary salt on the hash browns and much more kick to the chilli mayo and the jam however. Otherwise a perfect experience (and dog friendly to boot)!
