Love this little coffee shop, but a little let down in my recent visit. The food is always really delicious but on this occasion my toast was cold and the butter was incredibly hard to spread, and my two poached eggs came fully cooked and hard, not runny at all. I didn’t want to send the food back though as they were busy and I do sympathise with that and don’t want to cause any grief. My pecan pie was delectable however, no faults there at all. Their drinks are superb, there’s always a generous amount of cream on the hot chocolates which is my go to drink, but my hot chocolate this time around was not hot enough for my liking and was missing an extra little chocolate garnish on the top which was part of the drink (it wasn’t a regular hot chocolate it was meant to be the special bueno style one). If I can drink the whole mug in under 2 minutes then it’s too mild in my opinion! ;) The staff are lovely but come across as overworked or tired and sometimes are very slow to greet customers or acknowledge them. I completely understand that it’s the busiest coffee shop in Buntingford, but you have to make customers feel welcomed and I felt a little bit unwelcome. My boyfriend was stood waiting to be served for about 5 minutes which was a bit silly. The ladies behind the counter - two of them were preoccupied with writing an order and the other making a coffee, all it takes is a quick “I’ll be with you in a moment” or “what are you after?” Just to get the ball rolling. I really love the mugs in there and the decor, but felt a bit snug at times. But once you’re sat it’s actually quite cosy, can get quite loud and overwhelming though when it’s busy. It’s nice to look out the window and watch the world go by. The door was left open which was letting in a bit of a draft so I had to sit with my jacket on which kind of sucked. Overall it’s lovely but just needs a touch of improvements here and there.

Delicious food, amazing staff - this place was BUSY at noon on a Monday, and the girls were kind and quick with their service. My boyfriend and I are visiting from New York, and he was dying for a full English. We got two large cappuccinos, the Classic and the coffee shop breakfast (their take on the English breakfast) and the food was SO much better than we expected. Great coffee as well. A gem!

Stopped by recently and was rather impressed. Sadly but pleasingly what I wanted had sold out so I had the Ruben and a coffee, the two ladies behind the counter were lovely and I really appreciated them over estimating how long the food may take as when it arrived I was pleasantly surprised. When I’m back in the area it will be my coffee stop of choice.

Lovely cafe i've had the full english several times. It's mostly excellent produce especially the delicious steaky bacon but the sausages unfortunately are the cheap frozen kind which on a £12 breakfast i'd expect a decent local one (maybe even use the Braughing brand up the road!)
