Fred & Ginger Coffee shop in Dacorum

I absolutley love this place drinks are a 10/10. I went here with my mates and stoped for a hot chocolate but my card declined but they still let us have the drinks

Well over priced for what you actually get, will not go back there again, would be nice to see a cafe that sells a good quality portion, rather than a kids portion, if that !!! Hot chocolate is tiny, stop ripping people off!

Amazing! Such a nice place and the best coffee I have had in the UK. Amazing coffee, great food, relaxed atmosphere and helpful, friendly staff. Will definitely be back

. Lovely journey here via country lanes com Berkhamsted . F & G was heaving when we arrived at 10:15. Easy , free parking right outside. Super quick service from charming Jack . Delicious open toasted sandwiches : sausage roll : ginger shot & coffees. Sat outside in the sunshine . Super clean loo. Lovely interior & art work . We will be back. Thank you x

Very pleasant service. Very good food and nice mocha. A tadge expensive but find a coffee shop that isn’t. The cheese and ham croissant was tasty and had good filling so that’s a plus.

To be honest I think they're over priced, their hot chocolate and coffees were tiny considering how much I paid and whenever I've been there they had a poor cake selection and what I did have was a bit stale.

The most over priced coffee, served in the smallest cup to ever exist.. for £4! Would have loved to try the food but they had run out. A complete joke

It is such a fabulous spot I stopped off at but after order I couldn't pay as they wouldnt accept cash. Such a shame and a bit short sighted tbh!

The best coffee in Kings Langley. Portion sizes are how they're meant to be (no fish bowl mugs) and the staff are friendly. It does get very busy though so you may not be able to get a seat.

We came to this place to escape from the heavy rain and had some coffee and cake which was lovely. Quite expensive but worth a visit. I was surprised to find such a gem in the village of Kings Langley. Best regards from Germany.

Our son lives in the village so we went along with him for coffee and cake. Some outside seating and good place to people watch. We sat inside as a bit chilly. Dog friendly. Nice coffee and good selection cakes. Would go back.

Good service and coffe. But disappointing that they refuse to accept cash...this is still legal tender in the UK. Not happy that they are contributing to a future that will not be good for anybody.

We were staying at the Premier Inn and had planned to go into London for breakfast but are plans changed. The place was clean and exceptionally friendly. It was welcoming from the offset, if I lived closer I would work out of here daily. I got there quite late for breakfast but managed to purchase fresh croissants, butter and jams with a selection of pastries. It was so nice I went back in the afternoon with my daughter. The coffee was warm, fresh and delicious. I was served with a smile by Jack who made the whole experience one to remember. I will return tomorrow before heading home. I will certainly be telling friends and family to try this place.

I'd heard great things about this place and it looked nice enough. I was not entirely sure about the sinks as decoration. Surely instead of filling then with polystyrene and fake plants and dirty items, the small display cabinet could be enlarged to display the food better? The decor was unfinished with ply board stuck to the walls. I was not sure if this was to try to be intentionally cool, but it just looked like a bit of ply wood stuck to the wall. I ordered an Americano with milk to go. The staff were pleasant enough, but I wouldn't call them enthusiastic - I'm sure the original advert for staff probably had this as a requirement, but it was lacking on the day I went . The coffee was given to me in one of those tiny polystyrene cups that you might get in a church hall after a service and run by old ladies who usually knit, the type of cup you get very milky tea in when you're desperate for something hot, but you're happy to hand over 10p for it. It is not the type of cup you fill with coffee that you charge almost £3 for. An Americano is usually a large drink for a start so I was shocked to be handed this in a cup so tiny and insignificant, but I thought, well obviously the coffee inside must be of such high quality that I'm sure I can forgive this oversight. Maybe they had simply ran out of the type of cups you would expect from such an establishment. But sadly the coffee was bad, and when I say bad, I mean really bad. I had one sip and threw it in the bin. I genuinely say this, but if I was the owner and I had run out of cups. I would rather give it in proper mugs and apologise and encourage people to stop and sit instead. But to offer such substandard coffee is I'm afraid, quite unforgivable. I could not see any other coffee shops along the road, so they have the monopoly in the area. But if there are any would-be coffee shop owners out there looking for a new place to open a coffee shop, I would encourage you to open here in town. And please don't worry, because after all, you will not have any competition from Fred and Ginger.

We called in here whilst on our way to visit the nearby Harry Potter Studio. It is literally 5 minutes away so we checked a few reviews and decided to give it a go. Well the reviews don’t lie, this place is a real gem. We managed to squeeze in to a little corner table and opted for a warm teriyaki chicken sandwich and one of the bean salad options, followed by a selection of the cakes. Wow, the sandwich as delicious and the salad really tasty, but the best bit was the cakes and coffee after. The real favourite being the pecan and cranberry flapjack, absolutely delicious. So good we bought a bag of it and some extra brownies to take home. Coffee probably one of the best you will ever taste and the staff were really friendly. Shame we didn’t live closer, but then if we did we would be in all the time….

Great coffee just the cups are a bit to small as they offer only one size!!! Cos of the current restrictions had to sit outside but still cool place to hang out.

Sit on rickety tatty wooden chairs outside on the street, minute coffees, flapjack stuck to a serviette! Dry toast with a pile of seeds on it with small amount of avocado and tomato. Very expensive and poor. We need a Costa in the village to show how to serve coffee.

Love this coffee shop. The staff are so friendly and the food and drinks are amazing. It’s true it can be harder to get a seat especially outside but it’s worth it x

Love the chocolate brownies. Nice little coffee shop. Quite small and Ltd space and sometimes difficult to find a seat.

Really good coffee and tea and homemade cakes. Friendly staff. The place has a real buzz about it. Recommend the flapjacks and brownies

A bit mediocre Coffe is ok, atmosphere not great Decor a bit bland Bean Here at Hunton Bridge is far better

The cakes / pastries are pretty good and the coffee good but the cups very small and there isnt much seating inside, much of it quite uncomfortable. The small venue makes the acoustics poor and it can be very noisy so difficult at times to talk.

Great coffee and snacks, nice ambience, small and friendly, always busy, I’ll be back😃, situated in the delightful Kings Langley Main Street.

nice atmosphere, friendly staff, good food, always busy. 4/5 because food not as good as when it first opened - example - sausage rolls used to be 50% bigger than they are now for the same price.

Titled quick coffee as it only took about five sips to finish the coffee! Lovely ambience with a few drinks extra tables outside. Was a lovely sunny day so took advantage. Questioned the size of the cup when ordering and told it was the only size. £5.60 for 2 mini drinks not good value. Dread to think how much the food is. What a shame. Won’t be going back.

Always a nice place to visit, with excellent coffee, a small but high quality selection of food and friendly staff.

2 orders places. 1 order took only 2 minutes to be served. The other took nearly 30 minutes. The food was ample but sorry the time difference between orders and no priority of service was unacceptable

I have been into Fred and Ginger a lot of times now and am always served with a smile. The food is beautiful and made freshly each day so never has any poor tastes to it. The House Coffee has a beautiful flavour and is always perfect.

coffee was excellent - buns and snacks looked - innovative and yummy. Bit confusing over the help yourself or waiter service....no big deal !

Recommend by the staff at a nearby hotel and not disappointed, the coffee was excellent far better than some of the coffee shops in London.Nice friendly staff in pleasant surroundings.Cannot comment about the food though as we did not have a lot of time.

Très bon sandwich. Fait à la demande. Les pâtisseries avaient l'air bonnes mais pas testées. Ils font à emporter . C'est une bonne alternative lorsqu'on va visiter les studios d'Harry Potter et qu'on ne veut pas manger sur place (prévoyez votre nourriture car la restauration est très chère dans les studios).

Nice place, had a juice and toast but was very nice. My friend is a coeliac and she was well catered for with yoghurt and fruit and a gluten free cookie that she said was delicious and couldn’t notice it was gluten free.

Usually quite crowded as premises are small but the atmosphere is nice and the food good. They have vegan choices also.

We were visiting the South and saw this place on Google, so pleased we found it! The food and service was excellent, the staff go above and beyond in our opinion eg offering a glass of water after the meal, highly recommended

This place has lovely cakes and snacks, gorgeous looking paninis and sourdough rolls. Best of all, incredible coffee and the nicest healthy salads.

WOW what a find. I was visiting Kings Langley with my daughter to see a friend who lives there. We had lunch today - a slice of curried quiche and salad (£5.75) home made cakes and strong coffee (no bitterness) Super smiley service and healthy delicious food. Thank you Jack for looking after us so well. I will certainly be back.

Recently refurbed (though in all honesty the changes are not that obvious) however the coffee is the best in the area and streets better than the major chains. The service is exactly how service should be and the food is fresh and nice. Great place but please don't go there as I'd rather keep it a secret and be able to go and get a seat!

This cafe has a lovely atmosphere. Rustic with good service. We had proper homemade soup which was well presented with gorgeous bread on the side. They also do delicious salads. I would like to go back and try their coffee.

A nice coffee shop however the cakes and coffee were pricey compared to other similar style coffee shops I’ve visited around the country.

Went there on a sat aft and it was busy but got a table

Best coffee house in the area. Great atmosphere. Brilliant service. The staff are always happy. . I have tried the food on offer and I find it excellent. For a relatively small place there is a lot of choice. The shop itself is not in the most accessible place on the High Street but despite this it is always very busy.. I think that is testament to what a nice place it is.I believe they have opened another Fred & Ginger in Berkhamsted and that is just as successful and that branch is also not in the best place. There is also a lot of competition. That says it all for me

Fred and Ginger in Kings Langley looked enticing when I searched for places to have coffee. Their website looks fantastic and according to it 'Alongside our bespoke house blend from Campbell & Syme we also offer an ever changing guest espresso and filter coffee option to showcase coffees from different origins and roasteries.' On arrival, however, the place looked small and packed, with very few pastries available. No croissants, and when I enquired about the coffee varieties available I was informed that they only offer house blend and decaf. Sadly, even their pricey house blend was disappointing.. The staff was friendly though.

We visited as soon as the cafe opened on Sunday morning- quite a queue had formed outside waiting for the doors to open, showing its popularity. We tried the sausage rolls, filled and toasted croissants, almond croissant/pastry and toast. All were excellent except the almond croissant which was pleasant- but was very solid and lacked the lightness and almondy moisture and taste of other almond croissants we have tried elsewhere. Our young male waiter was superb. Thank you.

And juice bar, with nice choices on the menu for breakfast and lunch. Friendly and polite staff, also dog friendly.

This neighborhood coffee house is consistently packed both inside and out and for good reason. They have the best coffee in the village and the pastries are pretty good too! Regardless of the weather, it is a great place to perch for a bit of people watching ;).

If you love coffee you’ll love Fred & Ginger. Almond croissant is superb, they also have a range of freshly squeezed juice. Breakfast includes toast, pastries and granola with a choice of toppings. Lunches and cakes are amazing. Staff are always friendly and the cafe is child and dog friendly too.

A lovely cafe staffed by friendly people and great home cooked food. Shame it's not open longer in the week!

I'd heard good things about the food and coffee here so made a special trip for a late Sunday lunch with a friend. We arrived at 1300 hoping to have missed the Sunday brunch rush only to find the place full and no tables free. The only option was one of the tables outside (all completely empty as it was 2 degrees C). It might be ok to stand if you're just having a coffee but not when you're planning to eat something.

Driving through Kings Langley looking for somewhere to stop for coffee (we are not locals). My partner spotted Fred & Ginger so we popped in to try the coffee. Early Sunday afternoon....and it was packed!

I think what I really like about F&G; is that, as a fifty+ yo man, I almost don't fit the atmosphere. But they get it just right. It is stylish, with lots of attention to detail - but it is still essentially contemporary/country cafe. Cool - but not achingly so. Bustling, with mostly young helpful staff, great coffee and food - there is always a buzz. In fact, if it is busy sharing a table with people you didn't come out with may be necessary. Saying that I have always enjoyed making new friends over coffee!

We visited on a Saturday lunchtime and although the place was very busy we were served efficiently and promptly. The food available was a small range of sandwiches and paninis, salads, soup and some tasty cakes. My Tea Pig tea was (as always) delicious and the coffee was good too. It was nice to see local people choosing to pop in and read the paper or get some work done whilst enjoying a cuppa.

I drive and walk past Fred and Ginger nearly every day, and yet I never went in until today. Don't know why I didn't: it looks inviting enough from outside, and it's got a nice vibe. Meeting a friend for lunch, I thought it would be the best opportunity to finally visit - and it was as good as it promised to be. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the food was delicious (the salad looked a bit "too healthy", if you see what I mean, but it was really delicious), the selection of cakes was great. The location is also good, on Kings Langley main street, the big glass front lets you watch the world go by while enjoying your food. I will visit again, but maybe for an afternoon tea rather than lunch: the cakes looked very good.....

Love Fred & gingers fresh food, especially their salads, soups and salmon. My only complain is their portions are too small for the price.

Met a friend here for coffee today Good coffee, nice room but the best was the service - very friendly and welcoming, without being over the top Will be back

Popped in for homemade leek & potato soup and bread was a fabulous atmosphere very friendly will Defo visit again

Visited for breakfast - all the food looks fresh and enticing but stuck to fruit and yoghurt which was also good.

Only stopped for a coffee but the food looked lovely. People really friendly. Had a holiday feel to it. Definitely not a greasy spoon type place. Am going to make another visit very soon. It is next door to a lovely little old fashioned sweet shop.

We visited as a family after school Friday evening. The coffee was good and hot. The staff made the children very welcome.

A remarkable blend of friendly efficient service with fresh brewed coffee and home made cakes make this a memorable place to visit.

We had coffee in both branches: Kings Langley and also Berko and simply loved it. We go there when we are in the area working or on leisure time to have a flat white and an oat cappuccino. We strongly recommend a visit to this place and there is very good looking and vegan friendly food as well.

Called in for a pit-stop. Had a coffee and a slice of toast. Great coffee and really nice touch was complimentary jars of Tiptree jam and marmalade on tables. Clearly loved by the locals as it was packed to the rafters. Loo available in adjoining sweet shop and free parking for an hour. Great service and reasonable prices. Well worth a visit if in the area.

Both this and the sister shop in Berkhamsted are independent gems. The coffee is good, cakes are great and service is with a smile.

Went here on a Sunday morning for a coffee but also had yogurt granola and fruit and my husband had a cake. We sat in the window watching the world go by. The place had a trendy, vibrant feel to it, overall a good atmosphere with friendly staff.

Really great coffee, atmosphere and service! It is a shame that it is just so hot which as a customer makes the experience unpleasant. No idea how the staff run around is this heat, it seems cruel and not compliant with basic safe work environment practices. Will steer clear as just feel too guilty for the staff!

I used to come in here daily but have unfortunately had to just simply boycot during this blistering heat as its become extremely uncomfortable, sticky and unhygienic. There are flies everywhere, the tables are sticky and the temperature in there is unbearable. Unless I can chance an outside seat, I just simply can't go in. Such a shame. Definitely can't even bring the dog or the children in nor would I want to put them through it.

We visited Fred and Ginger Kings Langley after rave reviews and recommendations. The food, coffee and customer service could not be faulted. The unfortunate factor that gave us a negative experience was that of the heat. WHY have the company not invested in an air conditioning system?! How the staff continued to struggle on through the relentless not to mention airless heat was beyond us; it was enough to nearly put us off our food. We will not be returning until this is sorted. A real shame.

As others have stated, the coffee is so very bitter. It may be fine if you like a bitter strong black coffee but for latte or cappuccino lovers -it just doesn’t work. If I return I will be having tea for sure !!

Great atmosphere here. Lively and great place to meet friends. Staff very friendly and will stop and chat, but always with one eye on what needs to be done. Good choice of drinks besides the excellent coffee and great range if snacks. Love this place.

What a great little place. Food is excellent as well as the service. Even a handy disabled parking spot right outside.

Excellent home made sage and onion sausage roll with a lovely pot of large leaf green tea. A great breakfast start.

I’ve been here many times before but hadn’t been for a while (life got in the way). This time around, I brought my sister and 3 yr old niece with me. My sister said her brownie was the best she’d ever had (apparently “so gooey and rich it’s practically illegal” she reckons), and she even had a second latte, which for her is unusual so it must be good! Little niece loved everything, she had a chocolate cookie and a berry smoothie, yum.

This is one of my favourite places in the village and sadly standards seem to have slipped.

I visited this coffee shop with my family and despite the nice decor the food and coffee was disappointing. The cappuccino I ordered was so bitter I was unable to drink it and the chocolate brownie tasted stale and left a terrible after taste. I have never known my children to leave chocolate brownie on a plate but even they would not eat it. To top it all off the prices are high which would be acceptable if they were offering a delicious homemade cake but sadly they have a lot of work to do!

Rude. Barely anything to eat. Felt like a cliquey private dining club we’d rudely interrupted. Never again.

Had a few too many hotel buffet breakfasts while on our travels so decided to try something different.

The coffee is always great. Food is fabulous but demand is high, so get in quickly! Friendly staff and great service. Great for breakfast and lunch or just for coffee. Dogs welcome, outside seating.

Great coffee had a 2nd cup staff friendly orderd toast I like the way you help your self to jam or marmalade but gets busy

That’s what you need, great coffee - though you can get great tea too! Super friendly service. I sat in the window to watch the world go by. Good selection of freshly made sandwiches and cakes. Loved the outdoor loo at the back of the...

We were staying in central Hemel (glamorous life we lead). Nothing but greasy spoons by way of breakfast options as far as we could tell so took a short detour to Kings Langley.

Had a pleasant few hours having a light lunch of goats cheese quiche and salad with a healthy juice- food was tasty and salad delicious— Friend had a salad and coffee but unfortunately the ingredients described did not include the dressing— she was allergic to chilli— staff were very apologetic and she was ok but perhaps all ingredients need to be explained— atmosphere is good and the cafe is very popular with villagers and others— it does have an outside seating areal but it still gets busy inside and out

Great cup of coffee with excellent service.staff so friendly and so keen to please..definately a place to revisit 😀

Really like the coffee that they serve here. Nice and strong without being to bitter. Good selection of cakes and bakes too

The staff are always polite, friendly and helpfulThe food is always delicious although towards the end of the day there isn't much savoury choice!Decoration and coffee both perfect Only reason it's not 5 stars is due to it being quite expensive although you can now get "points" to earn a free coffee!

As a regular I must say the high end service is certainly consistent. The lunch menu is so well thought out and my salmon salad was simply devine. The drop filter coffee was different, tastes superb and a nice alternative to the standard coffee shop options. Alfie is always on hand for a chat and discussion - a true coffee geek!

What a breath of fresh air in modern day suburbia. Nothing outside of London will amount to the level of quality and customer service here. The staff are never too busy to give you a welcoming smile and have chats with you .. they seem genuinely interested in your life. Everything is made fresh on site, and considering this everything is extremely fairly priced. Thumbs up and I thoroughly recommend the drip filter which is served in beautiful glass flasks / chalices.

Really lovely coffee and cake here, the brownies especially! Always quite busy but friendly staff and lovely surroundings.

Needs more seating as always busy,which is a very good sign.nice drinks and good for people watching too

We had a light lunch here and we both chose a chaibatta sandwich which we decided not to have toasted but actually would have been better warmed however we each had a side salad which was gorgeous. It came in a small bowl which looked small but there was loads to eat and quite delicious

This place makes me so happy! The coffee is exceptional, probably the best I've had. The food is lovely, especially the salads which are inventive and delicious and fresh as hell! My favourite thing about this place has to be the staff. The service is impeccable! Every single one I've been served by has been polite, attentive, and they never seen too busy to chat with me and other customers despite the place always being packed, and seem to have a genuine interest in your life. No one I know has any complaints, and I'm going to keep coming back because it's the loveliest place ever! Well done guys!

My wife and I sat outside on a glorious summer's day for a mid-morning coffee and cake. Staff were friendly and the atmosphere was just right for a relaxing hour.

Friendly, relaxed ambience, not particularly comfortable seating, mainly a mixture of wooden benches and chairs. Quite trendy. recommend the soup

Fantastic service. Great freshly made food. High quality coffee made perfectly. Dog friendly. Our family favourite. We are here almost every weekend and consider it our home away from home.

Really lovely and very friendly. Good coffee and great cake and service with a lovely atmosphere and high level of service
