Dower House Coffee in Dacorum

What a great surprise to find such great fresh food in this attractive cafe. The toasted sandwich was so tasty and full and the cookies unbelievably good - all made on the premises apparently. Excellent coffee - a great place on the high street in Berkhamsted.

First visit as had heard good things but unfortunately my experience was disappointing. Staff were excellent and courteous and the place is great inside but the tea served was virtually undrinkable. The cookie chosen was just stodgy and was more like an undercooked muffin than a cookie. Seemed on the expensive side - £20+ for 4 drinks and two cakes! Afraid I wont be going back as there are other better quality and better value coffee houses in Berko

Nice place to stop for a drink, good coffee and drink selection but the toilets were in a bad way and unusable, I always find myself judging the general hygine of a place on this basis + tap water bottles available to serve yourself was warm. Think these are easy fixes for the business but definitely key to making it better here!

Went here for lunch with friends, food and drink were brilliant! Loved the decor and the outside seating was great. Highly recommend!

My favourite coffee shop in Berko. Love the coffee and the food is great! Give the toasties a try, and the kinder chocolate brownies!

Popped in with my wife, had a lovely coffee and Lemon and Elderflower fudge cake, both were amazing. Sat in the window seat with the sun coming in, very relaxing.

My favourites Leek and Bacon Toastie and Lemon and Elderflower Fudge cake. Coffee is delicious and staff super friendly. Will be back again soon.

I came here as I’d heard about how good the cakes were so was pleasantly surprised when the coffee matched the quality of the cakes. Too many cafes serve average coffee which is unforgivable. Although I don’t live locally, will definitely visit next time I’m in Berkhamsted

Had the best coffee in the most relaxed friendly environment. I didn’t have a cake but they looked delicious with lots of choice. Next time! ;-)

Highly recommend the brownies!!! Great to stop off for a pit stop during a bike ride. Coffee was very good too.

After passing this lovely welcoming cafe, I finally visited with a friend. Wow ! What beautiful decor and ambiance 😊 The owner and staff were so friendly We had really lovely tasty smooth hot Lattes and a roasted veg wrap. Absolutely delicious. The cakes looked delicious. It’s definitely a must to visit Nearly opposite the Rex Cinema. Thank you Dower house. I will be back soon

Fab addition to Berkhamstead - gorgeous building, great coffee and amazing homemade cakes. I had a brownie and it was one of the best I’ve tried! Staff super friendly too. Highly recommended.

Went with some friends and had coffee and cake. I had a raspberry and white chocolate blondie which was heavenly. So delicious!! The coffee was served at just the right temperature and the staff were all very warm and friendly.

A great place to meet for coffee with mummy friends as there is plenty of room for buggies including a little side room which we had all to ourselves!

I visited here recently with a few friends and our children for a catch up and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The chocolate brownie went down a treat with my son whilst I enjoyed a decaf tea. Service was quick and what I ordered was reasonably priced. I did take note of the huge pastries that were on offer, I will definitely be trying those in the future! The place was very spacious and we even managed to nab ourselves a room just off the main room which we had to ourselves which was great for the children to have a little play without bothering the rest of the clientele. Overall I would definitely recommend and I will be returning when I am next in the area!

Amazing cake (I had the lemon and elderflower fudge cake and am still thinking about it), delicious coffee, gorgeous crockery and a buzzy family friendly atmosphere in the most gorgeous period building : )
