cinnamon square in Three Rivers

Best cinnamon square I have ever tasted! We purchase yearly for a birthday and will continue to do so as they are delicious.

The cinnamon buns are to die for the best buns I’ve ever had. Heat them up in the microwave for 30 seconds and enjoy a sweet delicious gooey cinnamon bun. Perfect with a cuppa tea after a busy day at work.

Stumbled across this place on our travels and boy am I glad we did. They have the most delicious selection of yummy cakes and treats, can never decide which I want they're all so good 😍

Best bread I have ever tasted. This is a great little bakery , the staff are very friendly and welcoming. They are renowned for their cinnamon squares which are extremely delicious, as are all their other cakes , but for me personally it’s their bread, it is just another level , light , fluffy and tasty and made me realise that I had been missing out on really great bread. They a worthy winners of so many awards.

I attended the cake making course where we produced the most amazing Victoria Sponge, Courgette and Lemon Cake and Orange Polenta cake.(gluten free) Paul was an amazing tutor and I learnt so much. I had never been able to make a Victoria sponge that wasnt as flat as a pancake with his instruction it was brilliant. The supper provided with the course was excellent too. If you havent been on one of his classes you must go!

they closed half of the shop for some reason and now only sell tiny expensive cakes. you can no longer go there for lunch. rip. bye gooey cinnamon rolls they were famous for..

Cinnamon Square has an olde worlde ambience and is reminiscent of past eras. Probably not the best place for other than cake and a hot drink, but their cakes, which I believe are baked on-site in the main, do deliver. Can be a little crowded at the weekend, but during the week it provides a pleasant setting for time out with friends or a meeting. There are tables upstairs if you are seeking a quieter atmosphere. As most of the cakes are produced in-house the staff know what ingredients are involved which helps with food allergies and intolerances. I have visited a number of times and sometimes the service is better than others. Some of the younger staff (possibly working there on a temporary basis) seem rather inexperienced and lacking in training, but they are generally friendly. Relatively costly but one might expect that for homemade cakes and originality.

Ordered my partners 50th birthday cake from here. They were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish and delivered a superb cake. 5 stars all day long. Thank you so much

Full, informative and friendly five-hour course (including half-time great food break) in bread-making. Paul Barker's presentation, demonstration and practical tuition were exemplary, drawing on his self-evident passion and delivered with skill, clarity and good-natured humour and patience. Eight adults of varying youthfulness and antiquity (nine if Paul is included) had a constructive and fun time.

I attended a afternoon/evening course here last week under the expert guidance of Paul Barker. Paul is a master baker and imparts his knowledge with great skill. The session is informative, good fun and rewarding. Whatever level of baking skill you already have you will come away with much greater knowledge as well as a whole host of specialist breads you have baked. Thoroughly recommended.

We had to walk the length of Rickmansworth High Street to find an independent cafe and ducked under the low door into this cosy one. The bread and cakes looked and smelled delicious and we were shown upstairs to a coffee table and soft chairs which was not ideal for eating . We ordered drinks and ciabatta sandwiches from friendly staff and the long wait began...After about 30 mins some luke warm chocolate drink arrived and we had to ask twice more for our food. This came long after the drinks but the bread was delicious , warm and crisp although the filling could have been much more generous. As we paid we were told that it would no longer be a cafe from 5 th Jan and instead would be a cookery school and cater for parties. Although it wasn't the best cafe I have visited this is sad news for Rickmansworth. The town lacks character and is a much less interesting place than when I was here several years ago. At least their delicious bread will be available at weekends.

Do not order off the cafe menu. If you want anything other than cake and a coffee I would strongly suggest you go elsewhere. I ordered a Tuna melt from the toastie section of the menu and when it arrived I knew straight away that it had been microwaved. The ciabatta was extremely hot and hard which is a sure sign that it had been microwaved. There was no indication of ‘toasting’ anywhere on the ciabatta. If you’ve ever microwaved some old bread or a crusty roll to bring it back to life for a few minutes then this is what we received. In addition, the tuna was spread on thin like butter and was almost non existent. I won’t even go into the portion size. I’ll just say small. The toasties need to be renamed as ‘microwave toasties, no actual toasting takes place’ When you’re spending near £30 you do not expect a microwave to be used for a toastie. Service - the service started off well when they wanted to take the order but when it came to aftercare, there was none. We were left for over 30 minutes before we decide to go downstairs for some assistance. They are still riding the wave of success from previous years but when complacency sets in things do deteriorate rapidly. There has clearly been no forward thinking when it comes to maintenance/improvement.

I was given a very warm welcome which is always a good start. There's a notable difference between the eat in and takeaway prices but it's understandable due to the small seating area. The prices are clearly marked so its down to individual choice. My coffee was lovely but had too little milk for a cappuccino. I'm sure they would have rectified it if I'd asked but it still tasted good.

I orders our wedding cake from here because we were very keen that our wedding cake not only looked good but also we wanted a cake that tasted amazing and was affordable. We have eaten in Cinnimon Square before and particulaly love their signature cinnimon buns..although we always have to order the large ones as they taste so devine. Anyway Lucy made our wedding cake and it went down an absolute storm, we had a wedding consultation and were able to e mail her with our ideas and try sample flavours. Lucy delivered the cake to our venue and dressed it for us. We had 5 layers of different sponge flavours and it was completely devoured by our guests. We had a huge number of compliments. The cost of the cake was very reasonable which was of course also a consideration. I could not recommend this place enough if you want a wedding cake that not only looks beautiful but tastes delicious. We did not want a pretty looking cake that people did not like the taste of. Also if you have the chance to visit here for lunch or tea I highly recommend it, reasonable prices and great quality food and cakes. Their cool book is wonderful, we have bought several as gifts and the staff and Paul who writes the books are very friendly and approachable. We have been so impressed I have just ordered a Cinnimon bun tower cake for my husbands birthday. A big thank you to Cinnimon Square for bringing a sprinkle of joy!

Went there recently for lunch and even though we had to wait for awhile, the food was great. Could not fault it.

Went in for lunch with my mum rather than picking one of the big high street brand names, and unfortunately I just have to say that the quality of the food is absolutely under par . There is no way that the food coming out of the kitchen is being prepared fresh or by a chef of a decent standard. The reason this is such a shame is because the staff are SO LOVELY and they are very sweet and on the ball but I just felt like I'd spent £21 on really bad quality food. It just a massive shame, - I hate to leave negative feedback but I really do feel like we were totally underwhelmed. For an independent place I strongly advise to look at the quality of the food in future. As much as the staff were lovely and really helpful, I just will not be returning for food anytime soon unfortunately. A lady next to us ordered a sandwich and for a place to be supposedly a coinesseur of bread, I've genuinely seen better looking sandwiches in tesco.

it used to be a great place to meet for coffee and scrummy cakes and great bread, but over the years it has definitely lost its way. I stopped going there for coffee as it tastes like it has no coffee in it even when I ask for another shot. The final straw was today when I went to buy a croissant and was charged £1.70 for it!!! I could have forgiven them if it has been delicious but it tasted as if it was yesterday's. Really dry and utterly tasteless. I would have done better buying one from Tesco at half the price.

After an amazing Sunday morning lay in, myself and my partner decided to head to Cinnamon Square for some brunch at 1:30pm (despite the fact they only serve breakfast up until 12pm we still enjoy a sandwich off of their lunch menu). When we arrived we waited to be seated for a couple of minutes which is quite unlike them as the staff are usually quite attentive, nonetheless we were shown to a small table in one of the alcoves and given menus. The bakery has quite a cute rustic charm however the table had not been cleaned yet and the waitress recognised this and disappeared to come back later with a cloth to wipe it over.

Handmade cakes and tea/coffee to order to take away or eat in. There is plenty to choose from and the cinnamon squares are incredible. However, the other baked goods often left a lot to be desired, particularly their scones. Service isn’t always fantastic either, with things forgotten and having to remind waitresses, which isn’t great considering it’s only a small place.

I attended the Italian Bread and Pizza Making Master Class course on 5th July 2018 conducted by Paul Barker of Cinnamon Square, with 5 other participants. I want to write and say a HUGE THANK YOU to Paul for such an interesting, knowledgeable and entertaining time.

Having completed a canal walk from Uxbridge to Rickmansworth (highly recommended, incidentally), tea and a cake at Cinnamon Square really hit the spot. In fact, the pot of leaf tea and the beautifully light and delicious Victoria sponge was the nicest I've had for a very long time. Good value too, as it was no more expensive as any of the chains (where you would be served tea from a tea-bag and an inferior, mass produced cake).

I had a cake made for a special occasion and the ordering was very easy without having to give too much notice.

I have been going to Cinnamon square for years. They make the best cinnamon squares indeed and they bake their own desserts and bread there. They even have classes for kids and parents alike. They can make your birthday cake too. Their tea blends are great coming from high quality loose leaves teas and their English breakfast is quite fresh and tasty. One must try their belgian chocolate hot chocolate thick and warming mmmm. Atmosphere is friendly and quite characteristic for the area where this cafe is. You must try the outdoor tables on a sunny warm afternoon.

Looking for a local bakery I stumbled across this bakery and restaurant. Surprising my partner I took her for breakfast with the intention of also getting some fresh bread and cakes.

I wouldn’t say this is the best of places. I have been here numerous amounts of times and have always loved it. This time I didn’t my hot chocolate was cold and I ordered eggs Benedict which I sent back twice as it was like water. I ended up not paying for anything as was extremely unhappy and haven’t been here since

We came here today on the train from London for a walk in Rickmansworth and were delighted to find this place for a coffee and cake! There were so many to choose from, it was a hard decision! We were served promptly and savoured the cakes we had chosen in the cute little room with its low ceiling. The waitresses were friendly and one enquired if we had enjoyed them and on our way out she kindly presented us with a box with a complimentary cinnamon bun that we had not tried! How kind!

This was my first visit and I was pleasantly surprised even after it was recommended to me! The sandwiches were great- I had tuna melt and my friend had the chicken and pesto which were both very tasty. We then took some cinnamon buns to take away. The large ones are absolutely huge and so delicious! Highly recommended! The only problem with this place is you can’t book and we had to wait for a table and it is very squashed in there to wait. Would definitely come back another time!

This is a really quaint place with lovely cakes and buns. The savoury food is not quite so great, small portions and a bit ordinary. It's definitely a tea and cakes place. A pretty building, with different rooms. The ceiling is a bit low - but that's part of the charm if you're in the right mood.

My daughter and I attended a chocolate tempering workshop and had a brilliant evening. We had complimentary hot drinks on arrival and drinks from the fridge through the session. We learned how to temper plain, milk and white chocolate and made bunnies, lollies, bars...you name it, we made it. All the ingredients which you would want-mini eggs, sprinkles, nuts etc. were there and we brought home our body weight in everything which we produced.

Friendly and helpful staff, who have to work with a problematic restaurant layout due to the character of the listed building. Fantastic cakes and good coffee in a lovely independent coffee shop.

My son booked a surprise afternoon tea for me and him to celebrate Mother’s Day today. I couldn’t fault it at all. The food was delicious, the service very attentive and friendly and everything together made the day very special for me. So much food that we couldn’t get through it all so my husband was delighted when we came home with leftovers for him. We will be back!

Cinnamon Square is fabulous. It has amazing cakes and is a lovely place to meat for a coffee. My daughter has had two birthday parties there and the kids have enjoyed baking and then indulging in their baked goods.

Visit cinnamon square on many occasions mostly to pick up bread which is excellent.

i have refrained from posting a review on previous occasions but today was the last straw, asked for a toasted...

Lovely place very friendly and warm atmosphere - staff were busy but were very considerate and happy which made it...

An interesting and quirky venue in the older part of Ricky. I have only been twice but both times found...

When we arrived Sunday lunchtime it didn't bode well, a table of 8 people were complaining that their children had...

Loved this place! Went to cinnamon square for the first time to meet a friend for ‘a quick coffee’. The staff was friendly and atmosphere was homely. The menu looked tempting so we ended up having a meal here. The food was great and coffee was spot on! Parking available too. Well done cinnamon square!

I visited for the third time in three weeks, with a group of friends for breakfast and we all said that it is consistently the best breakfast in Rickmansworth. Well cooked, quality ingredients, lovely presentation and the award winning sour dough toast ! It was perfection.

Fantastic cakes, yummy waffles and really friendly service. Get there before 12 to enjoy a fabulous breakfast/brunch. Great place to meet friends or get in a few hours' independent study away from home. There is even a patio area if you want to bring the dog.

Lovely food and drinks. Cinnamon square buns are to die for!!! Only thing they can improve on is service is very slow (it's worth the wait) but a couple of times myself and my boyfriend have been left waiting. Need more staff on the floor xx

My Wife and I were just passing and as we enjoy quaint buildings we were drawn.

Went for a quick breakfast bite. Busy which should be a good sign. Took a while to be seated. Got our coffee and cake (cake was coffee and walnutwhich was lovely) . The coffees were not that hot. The sausage sandwich took quite a while to come. No butter on the bread and sausages weren't hot. Shame as I chose this over the two chain coffee shops in Rickmansworth to support an independent shop but as my guest said "I wouldn't go there again".

On the surface this has all the makings of something excellent. Very boutique style in it's set up, proudly displaying a host of awards at the front of the shop; clearly they do something right. On the other hand though, service was slow... we had to ask twice for a table and it was only when my wife peered around the corner that two of the staff who were chatting like it was a Sunday decided to come over. We ordered cream tea and scones, and whilst nice, the scone was the size of a biscuit. The wait for said teas and scones was about 20 mins. Whilst not abnormally long, it is only a tea and a scone so should be quicker. This clearly isn't unusual as the management seem to have implied on another review, unfortunately I also agree with the reviewer- service is slow. I will add though, the lady who served us was very polite and courteous. Not sure if I'd go back again for a sit down, maybe for a takeaway though ...

Lovely cosy cafe, perfect for a hot chocolate away from the rain! Lovely staff & nice atmosphere. I've heard the cakes are amazing too!

I designed something a little different for a birthday cake - using the smaller cakes - brownies and rocky roads etc all piled high and drizzled with chocolate. They delivered exactly what I had imagined. Delighted!!

The food from this place is incredible, the buns are a must try and great as a take away service.

It's a real shame. Food is good, but the service is zero. Saturday afternoon, waited 20 minutes to order (2 coffees and 2 cakes) and 40 minutes to get anything. No check to see how we were doing. Real shame. Improve your service!

Lovely selection of homemade pastries, cakes and quiches. The food was of excellent quality, however the service was very slow and we waited 25 minutes before getting a drink. The staff were friendly. Definitely recommend a visit x

I was in the area for a client meeting last week and i came across this shop, Thought yeah are give this ago looks reputable enough, How Wrong i was, will never be visiting this shop again. As i entered the shop i was greeted by a young lady in a white shirt, Rather aggressive and was escorted to a table, I sat down and waited for my client to arrive, Once my client arrived we then waited half and hour to be served... We order a couple of latte's or should i say Iced latte's as they were not hot at all, Rather upset we returned the coffees, Only for them to bring us two more cold ones, We also order some late breakfast which took around an hour to arrive and then it was disgusting, all cold or Not cooked!With this i had decided to move my meeting to another location as we are leaving the building i notice how bad of a state the place was in. Wasp's on all the cakes! Staff looked like they were in a north Korean labour camp! Everything seemed dirty! Lighting all over the place! I WILL NEVER RETURN!

Visited here before and it is absolutely appalling. The food is cheap and made of the most basic, processed ingredients you could imagine. The cakes look nice but are stale, flavorless and normally accompanied by a complimentary long hair in them! The bread is multi purpose as you can either ruin your cutlery trying to butter it, break your teeth attempting to bite into the rock hard shell, or use it to choke on as it is utterly inedible. There is a wenzels in the high street, I recommend going there. The bread isn't even made on site it is delivered there, what a rip off! After my last visit I can safely say I will NEVER ever be revisiting this 70s looking over priced dive. Here's 1 award they can have, "WORST PLACE IN RICKMANSWORTH"

Absolutely love love love the Ricky sticky bun with extra topping of icing. Great place and takeaway service.

Amazing selection! Really friendly and welcoming staff, came highly recommended from a friend, accommodating, even though they finish seating at 5pm they still allowed us to take a seat. Menu makes me want to come back for more! We popped in for a cinnamon bun and coffee which was superb! Everything baked/cooked freshly on site. Couldn't have stopped at a better place will definitely go back for more. If you're ever in the area or just fancy something sweet it is a must!

Simply love almost everything about this place: a fascinating range of freshly baked bread, great and interesting breakfasts, brilliant lunches and an afternoon cake paradise. Crowning glory for me, a warm signature Ricky Sticky Bun - in preference to the Cinnamon Square, which is a bit too sickly for me.On top of this, you can add amazing children's parties - Paul Barker has the gift of being engaging and funny while teaching kids aspects of bread making and baking. His adult courses are wonderful too - they also do half day courses for parents and children. A 'must include' in any visit to Rickmansworth.

Nice place to come and meet a friend or relative for a light snack and coffee. Quaint little building. Not easy though with Oran or wheelchair as step down to it. Cakes lovely and friendly staff.

Fantastic coffee and very friendly staff! The place had such a quirky warm feel to it - I could have spent hours there. The cakes were brilliant too! Well worth a visit and I hope to one day find myself in this area again to visit this great place.

Most of the time service is ACE! occasionally they do get very busy and you will be forgotten but if you go and speak to them - they are very polite and helpful. The breakfast is well worth having esp if you want family time and don't want to be rushing around cooking at home. Better then home cooked food - I treat my adult kids to breakfast at cinnamon square when they all come down to visit and they absolutely love it.

Lovely little coffee shop which we always visit when with family as it's always a treat. Had a lovely tasty lunch. Food lovely and fresh and tasty and well presented. Lots of choice too. Coffee is always good. No room for cake sadly but we got a 'take away '!

Went with my daughter-in-law who loves it - very nice little restaurant inRickmansworth with lovely cakes and service

We sat outside in the little patio area and had breakfast and coffee served by a very friendly man. Read the paper and relaxed.The bread and cakes on sale looked amazing but we didn't have room for anything else and as we stopped en route walking to the Aquadrome we couldn't carry anything.Only niggle is that the staff were in and out of the little outside loo changing the bins etc and they were wearing the aprons that they were still wearing when they were setting tables and serving food - not very hygienic - perhaps they should remove their aprons or wear disposable ones for cleaning jobs.That said would certainly return again.

This is a Sunday morning favourite of mine (if you can get a table!) The cinnamon buns are out of this world and a must have. But I am also partial to their fruit toast with real butter! Not a place if you are on a diet but lovely for an indulgent treat. Place is very small with cramped tables (but kind of adds to the character).

I have just been on a beginners' baking course at Cinnamon Square and enjoyed it very much. Paul Barker taught us to make a traditional white loaf (the basic starting point), and then a wholemeal one. We also produced plaited loaves from dough made earlier (the flavours have a chance to develop if the dough is made the day before). We saw and discussed, but didn't get to make this time, sourdough. Paul is an excellent tutor, answering all our questions fully and clearly. There was a good, friendly atmosphere and he's extremely knowledgeable. He obviously had to keep the day moving but it did not feel rushed and we all left with bags of our handmade bread. Excellent. I would go there again and would recommend this course.

Unfortunately we had a terrible experience at Cinnamon Square. Bad service, took ages to place an order, overheard staff arguing and saw them coughing over cake and when making drinks a number of times. Our really hostile server made myself and my mum feel very uncomfortable. Staff were careless and badly trained. We were brought the wrong cake and overheard a member of staff comment like it was our fault. Very uncomfortable. A real shame.

Had heard great reviews about Cinnamon Square, but was very disappointed on our first and only visit. We were early so decided to have breakfast. We ordered poached egg on toast. The bread was just a shop bought sliced loaf with no butter and the eggs were plonked on top. This was bought to us first and we had to wait quite a few minutes for cutlery and our tea. On leaving we wanted to take away six Ricky Sticky buns and were overcharged by more than £5.00!!!

A lovely little bakery for coffee and a treat. The cinnamon squares are divine and asked for it to be warmed up! The bakery does kids parties too and teaches children to make bread and cookies. Biscuit decorating kits are available to entertain children if you go with a friend and want to chat whilst the children are busy. Seating can be tricky to find so it's worth checking you have a space to sit before ordering. There's seating upstairs too. A bit cramped for big pushchairs.

I popped into this delightful little cafe for a cup of tea but ended up indulging in the best cream tea I've had outside the West Country!Delicious pot of tea with loose leaf tea - another rare treat.The staff were lovely - just so welcoming and price wise it was very reasonable.

Not sure what happened here. We were sat at a table and had our order taken. We waited half an hour and just left. I'd forgive forgetting our order if the place was busy, but it was near empty. If we go back, we'll be avoiding the young brunette.

Had a nice coffee and cake this morning in the restaurant.coffee was really nice and the cakes were great.Will come again.Good service.So so much to choose from :)

Fantastic coffee shop with the best cinnamon buns. Coffee was hot, lunch was delicious and service was swift and friendly. Will be back.

This cafe is as pretty and quirky on the inside as on the outside. We had a lovely afternoon tea there. Too much choice of delicious cakes.

I have visited this place a few times in the past and have had very different experiences. The cakes are very nice and there is a good selection, however there are always very few staff and the wait time is always far too long. My daughters friend worked there until last year and what I heard from her experience there I thought was more worthy of a mention and should be publicly known. The seemingly lovely, child friendly environment isn't exactly as it seems. The staff are not so well treated and are often extremely rudely spoken to by Paul, the owner and head baker. This led to one such instance where she spent her entire lunch break in tears! This is utterly unacceptable! Presumably they have children of their own, how would they feel if this was their child!? There is never any support or help offered by the owners and instead the younger staff are scrutinised in every aspect of what they do. The pay was far below the stated amount she was intentionally told she would receive, and no explanation was given. The working hours did not reflect the duration of a break the staff would receive and often there would be no break at all. Upon hearing this I felt it necessary to post a review, but also to urge any parents of young staff who are currently employed there, or any business where they feel unfairly treated, to surface the information! Without this knowledge employers can, and will, exploit there staff unbeknown to their parents or the public. There is some explaining to be done, I eagerly await your reply

cinnamon square produce re-educates taste buds to anticipate delicious cakes and bread.Made correctly with knowledge and caring the cakes/bread are well worth trying - again and again!

Yesterday I went on the Baking Day training course at Cinnamon Square, Rickmansworth. It was an intensive day run by Paul Baker in which we learnt how to make Brioche, Speciality Bread, Chou Pastry, Chiffon Cake, Ganache, Swiss meringue buttercream and Creme Patisserie. The course is limited to 6 people and runs for 8 hours from 9.30am. Paul obviously knows his trade and we ended up making a load of bread and cakes which were able to take home. The course was very friendly, with lunch and drinks provided. Some on the course found the "kneading" of the bread hard work but the end result was worth it. Thanks, Paul, for a great day. Cecil

We came in for a hot drink and cake at 5pm on Saturday last week and had a great time. The service was impeccable and the cakes we had were delicious. Definitely be returning for more!

Visited for a quick cup of coffee and a cake. If you don't like the chain venues and want something a little more different then this is the place to come. Fresh cakes being cooked on the premises, quaint surroundings and helpful staff. You could not ask for more.

First time visiting here and I was impressed. The food was tasty and served quickly and its fairly priced. Will be returning!

Привет. Нам было очень приятно посидеть и одохнут. Спасибо за внимание.На будущее мы постараемся по сетить.

My other half booked me onto the Classic Cake Baking Masterclass for Christmas - Had an amazing day and would definitely recommend. Paul was brilliant and took his time to help and re-assure us. Brilliant 4 Hour course - I am looking at booking my next one already!

My Mum and I were passing through and just stopped here for a coffee to meet a friend who lives in the area. I was pleasantly surprised by the quirky entrance and layout.. what I thought was just a normal cafe from the outside turned out to be so much more. The cakes on display were out of this world! Everything from individual cupcakes to whole cakes - every flavour you could think of. I was especially impressed to discover that everything is made on site and they even do special sessions where you can watch pastry being made or even learn how to bake! There was a wonderful breakfast menu too but unfortunately we had already eaten. We had a lovely latte and I purchased 2 cupcakes for my daughters which were decorated completely in tiny marshmallows. I am going to make a point of returning in February half term (I live in Oxford) with my children so that they can see this place for themselves. Thank you once again.

This course is for the "bread nerd"...thats me!!! I would advise that you would need to have tried to make a sourdough at home and have some knowledge of making that particular type of bread. You don't need any experience, as you are there to learn but some knowledge is useful. The course was well thought out, organised and informative. I finally learnt how to knead my dough properly, measure my ingredients ( yes that where I go wrong) and how to make my bread arty with new decorating skills. Shaping the bread was also a great skill too. Cinnamon square offer a dinner and any drinks ( yes.. I went for the wine!) and got tipsy!There was lots of bread to take home, offer friends and take to work. I loved this course. i have booked for the croissant, danish pastry and sweet buns course.

We have been regular visitors to cinnamon square over the last few years but unfortunately today was most probably the last time. Having walked out once before due to poor service and food (we were compensated with a meal voucher) we decided to give it another try for lunch. Whilst the food was ok the portion sizes were embarrassingly small and tantamount to a rip off for the price. My mum had the vegetarian tart and I had the sausage platt. The tart could be eaten in one mouthful and the platt maybe 2/3 at most. The 'salad' consisted of a slice of tomato, 2/3 of cucumber and some greens with a little pesto. More a garnish or plate decoration than a salad. Either the price or the portion needs to be adjusted. Drinks were removed from the bill as compensation but a meal spoilt and a family of customers lost. Shame

Despite some recent poor reviews for cinnamon square, we decided to continue coming here as had always enjoyed it before. However the service we received was terrible and we ended up leaving. When we entered the shop we went to the till to order a hot drink each and two cinnamon squares. When we placed our order, the lady serving seemed inconvenienced by our custom. She asked whether we would like our order to eat in or out and we said we would like to eat in. After paying, we went to stand at the sign to wait to be seated, however the lady came up to us and said that we had not paid to eat in as we had indicated that we wanted to take away, which isn't true, and confirms that she had only been paying half-attention when taking our order. She said that we had not paid the eat in price but that she would let us sit down anyway. So we were taken to a table and sat waiting for our drinks. She then came over with two drinks in takeaway cups as if we were going to sit down inside the cafe and drink out of takeaway cups. Then said that if we would like to eat our cinnamon squares with our drinks, we would have to come downstairs and pay more for them. At this point we decided to just take our cinnamon squares and leave, since we're drinking our coffee out of takeaway cups anyway. Once downstairs, we complained about the poor service, and (presumably) the manager, who was behind the till, said in a very curt tone, that if if was their mistake (which it was), then they should not have approached us with takeaway cups and asked for more money. I explained that i had clearly stated to eat in, however he clearly wasn't interested and turned back to what he was doing. We were very disappointed as previously we have been big advocates of cinnamon square and I am constantly recommending it to friends and visitors, but i don't think i'll bother any more. Cinnamon squares were nice though, even though i had to eat it out of a box while walking along the street, balancing a coffee in the other hand.

Amazing for that large family party or a group of friends getting together. The sandwiches and wraps were tasty and original. The cakes are wonderful

A nice venue for a quiet bite to eat. The food quality is good but I do feel it is a little pricey. Overall a good experience. The staff were polite and the seating area clean and tidy. I would just say no wow factor.

This place is amazing good and it good to go for tea time so you can have delicious cake. They do take-away as well. The place is quite small but it worth it.

Had an awful experience here as asked for my breakfast to be served on a hot plate and when it came out the plate was cold and so was the food then I had to wait another 15 minutes for another breakfast and that was exactly the same. Will never go back there again

Have been many times over the years. Never fails to disappoint. An award-winning bakery that also serves breakfast and lunch. Duck as you enter and you first see artisan breads, mouth-watering cakes, friendly welcoming staff and if you are lucky somewhere to sit. Not disabled friendly only because it is an old building and you step down into it. Toilets are upstairs but there is a toilet in the small garden in a shed. Unfortunately yesterday they were extremely busy and said there was 30 min wait for food. We said we would have a hot drink while we wait but when he served it he then apologised and said that there was an hour wait. So we had our coffee and a croissant each and left. Not cheap (£9.40) The croissant should have been warmed but as they were busy we didn't make a fuss. We have eaten breakfast and lunch there and the food is delicious but this time it wasn't to be. There are two car parks just round the corner. One free for 2 hrs (3 if you are disabled and have a blue badge) and a paying car park opposite with a disabled space but you still have to pay and display. £3 for the day, whether you are there for 10 minutes or 2 hrs. Rickmansworth has a one-street shopping parade with Banks, Hairdressers, M & S Food, Charity Shops, Independent Greengrocers and other coffee houses and round the corner, near the Station, a huge WAITROSE. Nice enclave to visit.

I took my parents for breakfast this morning, from my Mums pancakes with maple syrup and bacon, to Dads full English to my Eggs Royale it was fantastic with lovely friendly service, excellent x

Either eating in or taking away their delicious offerings to my mind there is no better place.We were lucky enough to win afternoon tea at the Mencap stall at the Croxley Revels and we went along to have this. All the staff were friendly and helpful and said the scones and jam would take just a little time. When leaving we complemented them and they said they had actually run out of clotted cream and had dashed to Marks and Spencer for us. How kind. The Florentines are the best I have ever tasted and believe me I have tried loads. I bought Pauls great baking book and when things are a bit quieter I look forward to trying some of the recipes. A course there would make a great Christmas present - hint hint to him indoors!

This is a great spot for breakfast or lunch.It's busy, but staff are well organised & service is quick.Great coffees, lunch menu & plenty of cakes, pastries & bread!Easily the best coffee house in Rickmansworth.

I was surprised how quickly my tea and then an apple and cinnamon pancake arrived. It could have done with a bit more cinnamon, but there was loads of Apple. I was tempted to have a lemon meringue pie and had no regrets. Will have no hesitation to bring friends here.

My daughter had her 5th Birthday Party at the 'Makery' and it was absolutely brilliant. Our party host was excellent with the children and she made my daughter feel very special. The children made their own bread, pizza and cookies and they all helped to decorate the birthday cake. They got to eat the pizza and take away all the rest of the goodies that were baked for them and put into party bags. Everything was so well organised and I would highly recommend these parties as something a little bit different. Thank you Cinnamon Square!

Sat down and was told they'd be right with us. After 25 mins of no service my GF went to ask if she could order at the bar. She was shooed away by the manager of all people saying we will serve you at the table go back and wait. After a further ten minutes without even seeing a my one in our section we left. Rude abrupt manager with no service skills not worth the journey.

I used to love this place, so said I would take my mum and dad for lunch. When we arrived there was only about 5 other people in the cafe and about 7 staff do we thought oh nice won't take to long then. Oh how wronge were we. By mistake we queued at the take out till and waited about 10 mins to even asked were to sit because the mangers was being really rude to a poor old lady in Front because she was asking about her bill. Then he was like just wait there and someone will come. Another 5 mins later still no one came so we just sat down at a table we saw free and hoped someone would come soon 15 mins we waited and no one come to is 3 staff even walked passed looked at us and moved on without saying anything in the end we left and went some were else. What as wasted I won't be coming here again

I visited for breakfast, order was taken promptly and staff are friendly. Food took longer than expected as it was not busy when ordering, good food and good coffee. What let it down was the grubby table that had not been cleaned since the last guests but we were seated at it anyway. The table was adjacent to the stairs so I could not help but notice that the stairs needed a hoover/brush.May I also bring it to your attention that the fire extinguisher was not located where the 'AFF FOAM' wall sticker was located. The extinguisher was on the other side of the table on the floor, minor but if this is an attitude you take to fire safety then I hope a similar attitude isn't taken with other parts of the business.

Cookery sessions on offer for kids and they seem to enjoy themselves here. Cinnamon buns assorted cakes and light lunch on offer. Good breakfast too as have enjoyed that here previously. Worth a visit and you can buy their cookery book too.

Went to cinnamon square for lunch after a walk, we were seated at a table and the waitress told us she'd be back in a couple of minutes to take our order. 30 minutes later we where still waiting. So just decided to head to the till, and place the order there instead. The manager was working on the till and I asked if I could place my order, he told me to go back and sit down and that he'd send someone over, I asked if I could just order there at the till to save everyone some time as it had already been half an hour. He was in my opinion, quite annoyed that I wanted to order at the till and not follow his instructions. He made me feel extremely uncomfortable, and when I sat back down at the table after ordering I really regretted ordering at all and not leaving to find somewhere else. We finally got our food an hour after walking into cinnamon square, the food was OK. But the service remained poor. Attitude of the manager in general just made me feel uncomfortable.I've always been someone to rave about cinnamon square. Even after this experience I told my brother and his girlfriend to go there for Sunday lunch because I genuinely used to love it, and thought my experience was a one off. Unfortunately they had a very similar experience and I felt bad for suggesting the place. Won't be recommending the place to anyone anytime soon.

Have visited this placed regularly over the last 3 years, but have to say it is definitely going downhill. Had to find someone to take our order having sat for over 30 minutes without anyone approaching us. Staff just 'not switched on' and 'focused' and won't be rushing back here again :(

As a regular Sunday morning visit, Cinnamon Square serves up a fantastic breakfast The staff are friendly and we always take a cinnamon Square away with us as they are truly delicious

Everything about this visit was poor. Staff were uninterested, their service towards the consumer was poor and unfriendly. We ordered breakfast and drinks, drinks took 30 minutes to arrive and were not particularly warm! The food took a further 40 minutes to come. It was appalling. The eggs were cold and overcooked. When we complained, the solution was to reheat them in the microwave - something that will cook them even further! So disappointed and will never be back. Would avoid for breakfasts.
