Abigails in St Albans

What a lovely little cafe. The decor is quaint. Has indoor and outdoor seating. Staff are really friendly. A short walk from cathedral.

The cutest little gem tucked away in stalbans. Great location for a peaceful and aesthetic afternoon tea.

Lovely little tea room but I think you should invest in a clean/ tidy up in the toilet as this really lets you down.

I could not speak more highly of this lovely establishment a true shining beacon in cafe places a beautiful little tea shop hidden in the back alleys wonderful food gorgeous service and a treat for the senses and they know how to brew a beautiful pot of tea ☕

Had afternoon tea at this cozy tea shop. Atmosphere and service wonderful, price is reasonable, but the food was a little underwhelming.

We had a lovely cream tea at Abigails today. The scones and choice of teas were really good. We sat outside in the courtyard and enjoyed the view, a real treat being so close to the Abbey. The service was excellent, we would definitely revisit Abigails.

Very nice old fashioned tea room offering a tasty range of traditional bites for lunch at reasonable prices. So much better than all the chain coffee shops.

Home cooked food in probably one of the most amazing locations in St Albans. I could spend the whole day here.

Great place. Very good food at a realistic price. Highly recommended

Beautiful garden setting to have a nice morning tea in the sun. The scone with jam and clotted cream was delicious. Coffee was not great, segafredo beans.

We were in St Albans for the day, and came upon 'Abigales '. What a delightful place and the atmosphere, food and the service was excellent.

Very nice place, the menu is small but very good. Down side, the toilet is in need of refurbishment.

We were able to sit outside and enjo the garden. Tasty meals.

A really cosy cafe with a family-owned feel to it. Located just around the corner from the Abbey, and with a better food selection. The food was very good and fantastic value for money. Service was quick and friendly.

Food good but need to sort the door out in cold weather.

Lovely cosy tea rooms. Friendly staff lovely fresh sandwiches and home made cake. Hot food looked good too.

Had a lovely afternoon tea . scones where so light , sandwich fresh , soft and full of tina , cake was moist and tasty . Always love going there . Feels like a step back in time and always cosy friendly atmosphere . Only suggestion would be - the afternoon tea was delicious but would have been lovely for it to be on tiered plates or all of it on one pretty plate to make it look like an afternoon tea and bit more special so matching the quality of the food .

Lovely little cafe near the cathedral. Great homecooked food and great service. Our go-to place in St Albans for lunch.

Etwas versteckt liegt die gemütliche Teestube. Abseits der Hektik des Alltags. Bei gutem Wetter kann man draußen sitzen. Freundlicher Service. Preise o.k.

This little gem in St Albans does exactly what it says on the tin. There are far too many posh and poncey tea rooms but this is just perfect. The food is always lovely, the girls are friendly and quick and nothing is too much effort. Thanks guys!

Tucked away in Village Arcade, is this family cafe. Serving sandwiches, cakes and hot drinks, it's the perfect way to end the day in St Albans. We took a seat outside under a parasole, as the heavens were to open any minute. We were served by extremely friendly staff and loved the cake which are all home-baked.

Service was lightning quick, the waitresses were on top of everything and we had tea and scones on our table in less than 5 minutes. We also had Welsh rarebit on toast which was delicious. Staff were friendly and the atmosphere was great. Sat outside on a sunny afternoon - thanks for a great lunch

Been going for many years, and will keep returning...

Very kind staff, good service and lovely outdoor seating area. The food is just a bit bland and underwhelming, but it's a decent place to have lunch.

Overall very nice, very cute, quite as for city centre, feels like in the garden. Perfect place for afternoons tea! :) I had a coffee and two crumpets,paid £5. Dog friendly.

A brilliant hidden-gem close to the Cathedral - it's so nice that the City still has a proper independent cafe that serves fresh food (rather than a generic chain). The setting is great in the summer (sitting outside), and especially during Christmas when the fire is on and the tree is up.

Had a great cream tea. Can't comment on anything else, but a nice place to visit. Also very reasonable for St Alban's.

A live cafe/restaurant hidden behind a pretty street! Food is lovely and fresh and so is the service. The atmosphere is stunning.. I could sit here for hours reading a book while sipping on my coffee. Definitely a must visit spot in St Albans.

Great place to visit. Good food served quickly. We'll go back when we can.

Lovely little place tucked away beside the cathedral..Nice outdoor seating as well

Wonderful location, we visited years ago, and decided it was time to visit again, my other half ordered the avocado salad, sadly the avocado wasn't that fresh, my own issue was the latte which was made with hot water rather than frothing milk which would have made a decent latte - small details but which would certainly make me want to return 🍰☕

Mediteranean feel, but very english cafe food nicely done with great service. Right next to Abbey

This is a delightful cafe in St.Albans. My wife and I had a delicious lunch served promptly by courteous and friendly ladies. It is obviously a haunt for regular customers but we were made equally welcome. Thoroughly recommended 👌

Very nice place along through the arcade walk, and very close to the cathedral too, small area but really nice garden. Very liked place.

Very pretty and very reasonable prices. Friendly staff.

Good food as always, happy staff as always, very reasonable price, always pleased when I visit

Hidden gem of a tearoom, just off the main street, near to the Cathedral. They had the fire going, so it was cosy and welcoming on a cold February afternoon. Calm and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for a catch up with close friends. Cream tea was excellent and well priced. Staff were polite and attentive.

This quaint little tearoom between the main but very shopping area and the fabulous cathedral is a great spot for a sit down away from it all. Very cute inside with plenty of seats outside too if like us you have your foot legged furry friend. Decent menu and good quality coffees is all you really want alongside prompt and friendly service. Well worth it if you want a break from the bustle!

Just love the homely feeling of Abigails and the food and staff are always lovely

Loveley old world style tea shop with fabulous value for money food of excellent quality, really amazed at the low prices and fantastic service

Hidden treasure. Lovely relaxed homely cosy tea room with good value tasty dishes from sandwiches & snacks to main meals, puds & cakes. Clean plates all round & good cappuccino/latte good find down colourful little alleyway. No very nearby parking unless have disabled badge 1 alleyway (see pic) is more accessible than the other if you have difficulty walking. We'll be back for afternoon tea next time 😊👍

Asked for a bacon sandwich with fried egg, no butter. What I actually got was one small piece of bacon, poached egg and butter! Have had the asked for sandwich loads of times, so not impressed today.

We have eaten here a few times. A lovely quaint place to eat and food is good and well priced

This place is not well run. Several tables were unavailable for unexplained reasons. Slow service. Average food at high prices. Owners don't seem to be very bothered. Disappointing overall.

Love this intimate cafe with outdoor seating at the edge of the park

A hidden gem in St Albans. I was in St Albans with my daughter back in August on a lovely sunny day, we discovered Abigails purely by chance, we wandered down a beautiful little arcade just window shopping as they were all closed, but at the end it opened up into a gorgeous garden area with Abigails tea room right at the edge of it, we decided to stop for something to eat and drink, the service was excellent as we're the sandwiches and selection of cakes, we really enjoyed ourselves and will be visiting again. My daughter loved it there so much that she would like her next birthday party to be there..

Lovely food, and surroundings and the staff very friendly deffinatly my place to have lunch when I vist st Albans.

So different from a few months ago! Love the welch rabbit..Visited today thin layer cheese and price gone up.. It used to be full on the toast.. With the eggs ,not value for money 😥 sadly.

Friendly staffs, exquisite location near to the cathedral, lots of green space.

Staff really polite full and helpful and great food

Huzurlu bir kahve molası için fena değil

Lovely place in beautiful surroundings. The staff were all very nice too

Poor scone and no cream! Nice shade on a hot day but zero atmosphere.

Sat outside in a lovely spot at the end of a gorgeous arcade & very near the Abbey. Enjoyed a delicious home made stilton, leek & mushroom pie with a soft topping. Tap water was available. My first choice item on the menu was not available on that day. The waitress was brilliant. She was very cheerful & obliging. Nothing was too much trouble. Thoroughly recommend & I hope to visit again some time. I did not check if there were toilets as I was visiting the Abbey & knew they had nice washrooms l.

Undoubtedly the worst café/restaurant in St Albans... Basic meals using extremely poor quality produce - AVOID AT ALL COST!

Beautiful place. Stunning gardens. Church bells ringing. Lovely food and drink

Lovely food, lovely setting and lovely staff. Thank you for a very relaxing lunch

Fabulous food was very resaonable and very quick and friendly service

A very relaxing atmosphere surrounded by beautiful trees. Staff are pleasant and the cream tea is lovely.

I love this place. It's like an old English tea shop I had poached eggs on toast and a lovely poit of tea. The staff are so friendly and always very helpful. The service is impeccable

Lovely location and one of the best places to sit out. Pot of tea excellent and a great choice of teas. Cappucino OK if you don't like it strong. Maybe a little understaffed for a public holiday, but we weren't in a rush.

Lovely outdoor patio overlooking a quiet green space and the cathedral. In the afternoon the tables are in the sun which is perfect for an afternoon coffee or hot choc or even a cheeky glass of wine.

Brilliant service, excellent food & delicious tea. Thank you - will be back

2nd visit, food was nice shame about the service this time,

Lovely place to go. They so coffees, teas, alcoholic drinks, breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea, there's also fab cakes. Highly recommend this place to anyone staying or living in St Alban's! The only thing I would say is they have music bit it is in the background, you don't have to shoot at each other. Very good place! My family and I go there every time we're in St Alban's.

We are long time patrons of Abigails . Absolutely Tip Top service & food. Xxxx

Lovely little place, lovely staff, great view from outside

Always lovely food young girls are always polite

What a lovely little tearoom, old fashioned and cosy with lovely, friendly service, tasty food with plenty of choice and very reasonable prices. We stopped for a quick cuppa and a delicious bacon sandwich, and will definitely be returning soon, next time maybe for a full breakfast or lunch! It's also in such a lovely setting at the end of a little old fashioned shopping arcade, with an outlook over pretty gardens (with a patio where you can sit to consume your refreshments in agreeable weather!), and in the shadow of the beautiful St Albans Abbey.

We always pop in when we r in town. Good service, lovely little cafe

Really cozy place to relax and have a coffee and cake. Fast service and good quality.

Atmosphere: 5/5 Friendliness: 5/5 Food: 1/5 I really love the venue, it has so much potential - the staff is always been lovely and very welcoming. I had been here a couple of times to try different food and drinks however apart from the okayish sandwiches the quaility of the meal is a disaster. -Hot food: mainly microwaved, inlcuding the pie and the frozen vegetable -Bread: cheapest sliced bread. St Albans have fantastic bakeries, such a missed opportunity to shine -Coffee: watery -Hot chocolat: hot sugar drink with a hint of chocolat Cake: sometimes good, sometimes dry Abigails is cheap or "reasonably priced" , I would rather pay more to have better quaility food, I might be wrong but still don't think that increasing the price by £1 would drive away customers while that would definitely enable better ingredients.

Brilliant NOT A CHAIN cafe with very reasonable prices.

Myself and friends had lunch at Abigail's tea room today, we all enjoyed our lunch, good choice on the menu and reasonably priced. Staff very friendly, I would definitely recommend Abigail's tea room.

Great traditional type tea room close to the Cathedral.

Excellent family run cafe in beautiful st. Albans

In 2021 you don't come across many cafes that don't cater for lactose intolerant/vegan customers! They literally only have semi skimmed cows milk here! We had no option but to leave. Such a shame but there are plenty of other coffee shops in the area and I haven't come across another that has this problem. Get with the times!

Had breakfast here, very welcoming and had a lovely feel about the place, it was like being in my nans house! The vegetarian breakfast was tasty and the service was really good. I will go back (probably for the cake, they looked delicious)

What a gem! Not 'fancy' but good honest food that's reasonably priced. The waiting staff are great too, efficient and friendly. A really good experience and we'll go there again when we next visit

Called in today around 12pm and it was shut. Very disappointed to say the least

Lovely place, lovely staff. Nice old fashioned tea room.

Very friendly efficient staff and service.

Lovely cafe with very nice outdoors seating. All three of us enjoyed our food, and the tea was good.

We were in Tenterden and popped into the Tea room. Nice and relaxing. Like, tea rooms used to be! We had the cream tea and he especially liked the mixed Berry jam!

Casual cafe in a nice setting with a slightly dated decor. Food was ok but nothing special. Think there's probably better venues in St.Albans,

First time @ Abigail's Tea Rjooms, had a lovely lunch, very friendly & attentive staff Well worth 5 stars

Nice Dining experience. Lovely padio.

Had Ham eggs and chips, very nice but would have preferred ham off the bone. Otherwise very nice.

I always go there or years I know the owner over the time quiet little place of the busy city .. you can relax and hear the Abbey bells chime every time I go its peaceful and home made cakes and menu no prepacked food ..

Delightful, sitting in the shade looking out at a nice view with a great cream tea. What's not to like.

Always good. Lovely food, beautiful setting xx

Excellent service, lovely people. Definitely worth a visit 💓

Had a beautiful afternoon tea today. 23 for the 2 of us and there was plenty beautiful scones and cakes simple traditional sandwiches and of course would be afternoon tea with out tea ☕😁 was a lovely lunch we shall be back after the cathedral will be highly recommending you and your lovely staff

A pretty cafe slightly off the beaten track. Lovely service. Home cooked food. Very reasonable.

A wonderful little cafe on a small courtyard green away from traffic . Very pretty. Fabulous friendly staff. Food is English tea room style - sandwiches, baked potatoes, hot meals and cakes. Very good value for money.

Waited ages got up and left. Staff didn't even agnolige us.

I chanced upon this cafe after a hectic shopping trip with two young children. The waitress who served us was lovely - chatted really nicely to my two small children and served us promptly despite clearly being very busy. We had a coffee, cake and a hot chocolate and all were delicious. It's in a really lovely, peaceful setting too.

Staff are extremely nice and friendly. Food is good

Friendly, warm service and a lovely lunch. Would recommend.

What a wonderful warm welcome from 2 super hostesses on this wet and wintry lunchtime. I loved my table outside for this stunning view. Fabulous coffee followed by the most exquisite Welsh rarebit I have eaten, soft melting texture with tons of flavour. Came with top quality bacon too. My last meal out before tier 4 and what a treat.
