Whether it’s delicious hot chocolates or freshly roasted beans, this café promises quality and community spirit, making it a must-visit destination for coffee lovers in Hitchin.
Having visited this coffee haven over the years for excellent drinks home bakes, we were delighted to find a new, relaxed layout with more sofas and cosy areas for meeting friends. The range of home bakes has increased they can now be enjoyed hot from the newly installed kitchen. There are sometimes toasties savouries too. Still our favourite place in town for a nicely crafted coffee good choice of ground beans for home. Teas also available.
I've been buying freshly roasted coffee beans from James for a couple of years now (since he had a market stall) and the coffee is amazing. Lots of choice and variety and always great coffee. He does cakes etc as well and it's such a lovely, homely atmosphere in there. Would definitely recommend.
This restaurant in Hitchin likely serves the best coffee around! Their Caramel Egg Cookies are also a must-try, made with a whole Cadbury's caramel egg baked inside. They also offer a version with a creme egg inside for those who prefer that flavor.
Went there to meet a couple of friends and was blown away by the lovely people and staff. The owner, James, has a great personality and knows his stuff. His staff members in particular are friendly and a great addition to the atmosphere. Would highly recommend to anyone I meet!
This restaurant is fantastic for kids when it is open. Unfortunately, due to Covid, it is currently operating through a side entrance. They offer delicious options like ground beans, coffee, and amazing cakes. When fully operational, they even have their own kids' coffee shop play area.
