David's Café in North Hertfordshire

Great place to stop and have a refreshing cup of tea and cake/biscuit/sandwich. Lovely service from. Staff kind and accommodating.

First time in here, definitely won't be my last. Delicious jacket potato with tuna and a lovely hot chocolate to wash it down. Do not miss popping into here when you're in Letchworth and also take time to browse in the adjacent record & bookshop too..!!

Amazing cafe: great range of generously sized cakes, friendly staff, loyalty card scheme, and a lovely initiative in which you can pay for a meal or drink in advance, then leave the receipt on a board for someone in need to come along and claim for free. There's a good selection of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options too.

Can't fault it. Brilliant staff. Great toasted sandwiches and baked potato. Coffees etc. And a book and record shop, what's not to like.

Friendly staff, comfortable & fab vegan toasted sarnies.

This is attached to an established local independent book and music shop making the atmosphere very relaxed. Unlike most cafes, the staff bring everything to your table so there's no tray juggling with your shopping. The food is great, fresh, tasty, and a varied choice. Locally produced soft drinks and really good coffee.

This is such a friendly café that I try to use it so that they stay open and encourage others to do the same. In this economic climate, it is so difficult for shop owners They cater for gluten-free with their cakes, which seem to be homemade and are delicious. My guilty pleasure 😀 Their cappuccino ☕️ is also one of the best 👌

A very pleasant first visit. Will return next time we visit Letchworth. Service was slow but we sat down while we waited at the table and when our drinks came they were worthy of 4*

Delicious toasties and a great atmosphere!

A cafe that is also a bookstore. What two great things that suit me very well. What's better than drinking a cup of delicious coffee and buying a book? Sandwiches, cakes, scones and more are also served here. One of the most authentic places in town.

Love.this place everything is always just right, nothing is too much bother. Staff are lovely food is good. Nice and relaxing.

Excellent if you like vegetarian or vegan food. Good choice if you go for an early lunch.

At David's Café, a strange sight to behold, 2000 Sam creatures, extremely fat and bold. They waddled and shuffled, taking up all the space, The customers, astounded, couldn't believe their gaze. The aroma of coffee and pastries so sweet, Now mixed with the stench of sweaty Sam feet. The chairs groaned and creaked under their weight, But the creatures paid no heed, they just couldn't wait. They slurped their drinks and devoured their food, Creating a mess, which the staff had to brood. But despite the chaos and the noise, The creatures seemed happy, they found their joys. For David's Café was a haven for them, A place where they could feel like a gem. Accepted and welcomed with open arms, They found a community, free from any harms. So, let the Sam creatures be, For David's Café is their sanctuary. And though it may seem chaotic and strange, It's a beautiful world, a place to exchange.

Lovely coffee and cake next to a wonderful bookshop

A cool independent coffee shop. The vegan sausage roll was really good, and came with a small salad, which was nice. Coffee is good and they have a decent cake selection. We went on a Sunday and it wasn't busy, but there are plenty of tables anyway. High chairs are available if needed too.

Went here today, had 2 white coffees & 1 toasted cheese & onion sandwich. Was nice but came to nearly £14! Is it me, or is that a bit pricey?

Nice place you can grab a beer or a coffee and hire some board games

A cafe that even when it's rampacked still feels like it's an oasis of calm. The staff are prompt, kind and courteous always serving with a smile and the time from serving 5o receiving is practically not even long enough to gaze at the many film posters on the wall. First class service and first class produce, a testament to Letchworth and long may it continue.

Lovely, comfortable atmosphere. Can't fault the food and service.

Coffee shop was quite busy on a Sunday. I had a jacket potato with cheese and chutney. Although it was busy I didn’t have to wait long, the potato was quite large and came with loads of fresh salad and coleslaw. It was delicious and the staff were friendly. Reasonably priced at a little over £10 including a latte. Will definitely be coming back for more.

I'd give six stars for the atmosphere if I could. Such a cool place. Food is great and you can hire a boardgame while you eat. The shop has a great selection of cards, books, boardgames, wrapping paper etc. Always busy especially on weekends.

Nice ambience, good service and coffee

Nice place, good selection of cake. Coffee is nice but unfortunately very like warm at most, if you don't drink it immediately it will be cold in minutes

Love this place love the vibe the coffee and cakes yum! yum! and now have great chairs outside bonus as I love sitting outside and staff always helpful well worth a visit🙂

Great food, ambience and staff.

A lovely little café serving a small selection of toasties, salads and beverages. Located by a bookshop! What more to ask for?

Very nice coffee just a little pricey

We love David’s cafe (and book shops and Music) but even more so. The coffee is great the sandwiches and salads too and even when this gets go a little awry they come and apologise and tell you what has happened before you asked. Brilliant and thank you again.

I am so glad this place is open again. The soup was lovely and the staff even lovelier.

This famous book store in the first UK Garden City LETCHWORTH also has a Music store & a lovely Coffee/restaurant too boot !

Lovely place, can read your books and have a cuppa and a cake as well what more could one want

The toasties are fantastic, nice coffee and friendly staff :)

This is my favourite shop in the country. Bookshop better stocked than waterstones, plus a cafe, and a games shop/ music shop with decent vinyl selection, dvds and blu rays including lots of cult and foreign films, and they have a huge selection of second hand books outside and upstairs. Easy to spend a couple of hours browsing their shelves.

So we'll stocked and very reasonably priced. Awesome to see they're a Warhammer and MTG stockist as well! Friendly staff - Would definitely recommend.

One of the cornerstones of Letchworth life. I get all my card's from here - a really good and interesting mix of styles, above snd beyond your usual newsagent stuff. Coffee shop is also a destination, if you can get a table! Best coffee in town, great cakes and lovely staff

Great coffee and plenty.good things to eat Also has a large.seletion of books

Love this small cafe and bookshop

Great find, lovely and clean, staff polite, and knew what was available, good service. Would call in again next time I am in the area.

It's amazing in this shop, could spend hours & money here😍

Jewel in the crown of Letchworth

Very interesting cafe & bookshop pleasant staff

Great place for role playing games on a Thursday night

Great cafe and the best coffee in the town. You can buy tasty cakes that you can’t find anywhere else in the town. They also selling beautiful, very original cards. The cafe is always busy.

A family run joint - always the best way

Good variety of books, music. Staff are friendly & helpful.

Lovely, helpful staff. Good atmosphere. Great coffee and other goodies.

Simple coffeeshop..worth a visit for a cup of coffee

Great little cafe attached to the book/record/game shop.

needed a place to sit quietly and watch the world go by while eating my roll and soya latte. staff very helpful and felt i could relax there for a while

Awesome cafe, staff are awesome, great place to do work....however I am not a fan of the music played, don't think the sea shanty soundtrack suits the vibe.

Literally the greatest cup of camomile tea I have ever had, the atmosphere is great, Ewan, Hettie and the gang are all lovely and welcoming but the music needs updating a little. Less sea shanty, more Johnny Flynn!

A delightfully old skool book/record shop complete with a great café. Interesting plumbing!

Part of Davids Bookshop Place to go chill and grab a coffee

Polite a friendly staff in all sections of David's. Cafè is nice and the clientele are also generally friendly. My daughter and I shared a table with a retired couple. This cafè is suitable for breast feeding or weening babies.

Perfect cafe experience, friendly, good food, good atmosphere. Brilliant bookshop

Lovley book shop which also has a music store connected to it . Cafe is snug but lovley

Good coffee and cake (inc vegan options) and good large bookshop

If you love books and something else a little special, then sit down for a lovely tea/coffee etcetera this is the place

What a delightful place! What all bookshops should be like. Plus a record store and coffee shop too

Great Cafe Book Shop and Record's Too what's not to like ? Answer nothing.

Great coffee, great cards, great atmosphere.

Civilised oasis for a quiet cuppa and cake.

It's a lovely cafe which has background music which is just right for conversation. Good tea, great cakes & a choice of books to read while you wait for your refreshments. It's our cafe of choice in Letchworth.

Polite friendly service. Relaxed atmosphere

Great evening at a one of David's book launches

Very good service but I've rated it so low because it is too expensive. Considering the amount of eateries in the town you'd think competition would drive prices down - not so here

Lovely friendly staff and easy to get a table inside or out. Great coffee and food.

Love this place. Beautiful shop, good selection of books, cards, cakes... Cool staff.

Good coffee, served at a perfect temperature. Great cake, good service. And it's a bookshop? And a record shop?! And it's not pretentious or 'hip'?!! Nice one!

My favourite shop Café could use some vegan cake though

One of my favourite coffee shops in Letchworth. Friendly staff who recognise their patrons. Great coffee, teas and food.

Great vinyl store with totally awesome cafe!

Lovely book store with this little tearoom within it, excellent coffee, excellent choice of goodies (cakes) cater for people with tolerances, delicious vegan choc cake...

Clean, good service and a good choice of food.

Individual book, card music shop and cafe, loads of choice and decent coffee

Delicious coffee, yummy cakes, tasty savouries and the friendliest staff in town, I love it here and so does my little dog

Not a proper review as currently cafe still in the David's music shop two doors down but the third shop in the David's Empire is due to open soon this was the glenray jewelry shop till last year
