Milady Tea & Coffee Lounge in East Hertfordshire

Gorgeous little place, friendly staff and delicious brunch. Definitely a place to visit in Ware especially when there are plenty of sub standard establishments around. It is important to support those that give the customer a memorable experience for the right reasons.

Stopped for a late lunch/quick snack on Sunday after a walk. Polite and friendly service and a delicous bacon bap absolutely stuffed with filling. Tea was hot and strong just as I like it. My husband enjoyed his avocado on toast with poached eggs. Second time we have been here and had great service and food.

Popped in for e coffee and a cake on Saturday morning was met younger very rude waitress with attitude when my wife’s toasted tea cake arrived hardly toasted was then asked if she wanted butter and jam how can you serve a toasted tea cake without butter when I paid the bill found out I was charged 30pence for butter constantly got glares from rude waitress my family will never return rude and rip off

Very friendly staff. Quick service. Excellent Milady salad. Fresh, Delicious and generous portions. Waffle was light and fluffy. Took home some cakes from the patisserie at the front of the shop. OMG the cheesecake!

Great service detail to cleaning outstanding.. Food was fresh full of flavour and a credit to the staff who were polite curtous.. Thanks we will be back

I visited this restaurant for lunch. The threshold ramp was too steep for my mobility scooter and there was no space to "take a run at it". The staff blamed this on the architect - but it would be simple and relatively cheap to improve. I asked for black tea with lemon and was horrified that I was charged extra for slices of lemon - no allowance being made for milk NOT provided.

Visited Milady for second time yesterday. Food & service was just as good as our first visit. The lovely lady who served us was so helpful with the little tweaks we made to some of our selections, nothing was too much trouble. Food is cooked freshly and perfectly. We enquired about one of the breads we had with our sandwiches and asked if we could buy a loaf. Unfortunately they had sold out but this dear lady said she would bake a couple for us if we could come back in a couple of hours. We picked them up accordingly and they were just perfect. Thank you, we shall definitely be back.

This place is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays even though Google says that it is open. When we got there, there was a massive sign on the door saying that we could not keep prams/pushchairs near the table. My baby can't use a highchair yet. Not baby friendly at all which is a real disappointment.

Went to buy some cakes today, spent around £15 on three cakes and some cannolis. None were fresh which was really disappointing, have no idea how long those cakes sit there.

We came across Mildays in Ware after finishing a walk along the canal and fancied a cup of tea or a snack. Very friendly service and the best delicious warm scone with jam and clotted cream that Ive had in a long time. My husband had a salad with smoked salmon, avocado, rocket and mozzarella served with sourdough bread which he enjoyed very much. Lots of choice on the menu so would definitely go again if we were in the area.

Had a very strange experience here today. I arrived before my friend and requested a table for two adults, a toddler and a baby. The women who greeted me was polite but said prams weren’t allowed around the tables. I said I would fold mine up and my friend could put her in place of a chair, the women seemed to suggest this might not be ok but said we can sort it out when my friend arrived. Friend and baby got there and a man said hello but looked concerned with the buggy. We said the baby is sleeping and we can slot her pram where a chair had been taken away. He said no, pulled another seat to the table said she ‘baby can go here’ I have no idea if he meant the newborn was meant to sit on the chair or if he wanted the carrycot to go on the chair, either way it didn’t make any sense as the chair was taking up more space than the pram. He said we couldn’t keep her in the pram, so my friend said ‘ok shall we go then?’ And he just said ‘yes you will need to’. Never in my life have I been treated that way! I don’t know what this man has against mums but his coffee shop will not be successful if he cannot accommodate coffee mums on a Friday morning. He’d prefer to lose money than have a pram tucked away out of anyone’s way. Bizarre!! We went across the road to Rainbows where they were more than helpful and even gave my son a lollipop

This was my first visit since the start of Covid last year. It was so lovely to recognised and welcomed back. The staff here are so polite and respectful. My tea and cake were excellent. I’ll be back again soon.

Great restaurant for light meals and friendly atmosphere.The poached eggs are superb .Great service. Derek

Went to Ware as never been before, found this tearoom looking very quaint. Went with my husband and had lunch. We both ordered the breakfast baguette and a pot of tea for two. Service was quick and efficient. The tea was lovely and hot and the food was presented well. The baguettes were warm and the poached eggs perfectly cooked. Very filling as it had bacon and sausage too. The place was very clean and following COVID regulations with hand sanitisers for you to use and shields between tables. Prices were very reasonable and was constantly busy when we were there. If I was to go to Ware again, I would definitely go to Milady.

We were staying up the road and popped in for breakfast. Very friendly staff and lovely food. In fact we came back the next day to buy some bread to take home with us!

My party of six enjoyed a fabulous afternoon tea yesterday (late May Bank Holiday Monday) with delicious food and fantastic service. The staff went above and beyond to make our afternoon memorable (they didn't know, but it was the first time my family has been...

I visited Milady for the first time since lockdown today, and the amount of effort they’ve put in to make the place feel safe is incredible. The food was great as usual, and it was so lovely to see them doing well.

Our first visit to Mi’Lady since lockdown and we were not disappointed!!!! Had a wonderful brunch with friends and the measure they have put into place for keeping customers safe because of C-19 are just brilliant. We felt taken care of and the service was...

If you fancy a nice place for a quick tea or coffee or a snack...pop in. You won't regret it. Waresl's best kept secret.

Visited for the first time since they opened after lockdown, Had a lovely warm scone with clotted cream and jam. Social distancing and cleanliness excellent. Made to feel really welcome. Owner and staff made us feel very welcome - will be back

Found ourselves in Ware for Sunday breakfast - tried here as it was near a car park. Having just got in (there was a queue!!) we had a terrific breakfast with great service. I would recommend this cafe.

I was really looking forward to a nice cup of tea after a shopping trip, The staff were very polite and respectful. The whole cafe was clean. My tea and cake were excellent. Will definitely be going back soon. ...oh, and being able to park...

We had a lovely pot of tea with tea cakes. The tea was lovely. The teacakes were very dry and disappointing. Nice atmosphere.

Excellent Place to eat with good food, good surroundings and excellent friendly service. I would recommend this to anyone that enjoys eating out. Thank you

A nice quaint popular coffee shop with nice looking cakes/pastries. My flat white was made well and convenient with a car park behind.

Whilst browsing in Ware, we realised it was lunchtime p, this looked welcoming and so in we went. Great welcome from staff who were friendly, found a table towards the back and looked through the menu, some interesting items, I had a great smoothie, and...

4 of us had breakfast in this cafe 3 days in a row as it was so lovely. We would have come 4th day but cafe closed Tuesdays. We were all staying at the Premier Inn and this cafe was just a 10 minute walk...

We've been many times for brunch, coffee is good , food lovely,there afternoon tea is very good and reasonable. Our brunch is usually a breakfast in a baguette, one is enough for two of us, they also do the most amazing cakes

Came to Ware for brunch and a walk along the river. Staff very welcoming, friendly and engaging. We had the avocado and egg on toast with smoked salmon and the double eggs Benedict with spinach. Both were presented well and delicious. Freshly prepared and perfectly...

Have always been served good food by friendly staff. Breakfast and lunch food has a good selection. If you like cakes, there is a good selection but haven't tried myself.

Excellent food, pastry,coffee and tea. Stopped in for a late breakfast everuthing was fantastic and the service was excellent. I would be there regularly if I lived in Ware

Really nice atmosphere. Friendly staff, attentive and accommodating. Very nice Sunday Breakfast (not your full English type of place) with perfect Scrambled Eggs, very filling and Smoked Salmon.My wife states that they make the best Lattes (she has had a few from different places).The place has further seating in the back as could initially be mistaken for a tiny 3 x tabled patisserie. Very nice!

Never let's you down for coffee and a cake....only problem is which of the range of cakes to choose!

My friends came from North London, Stevenage and Royston and were all impressed. Good service, food cakes and drinks. They also do other meals. Would definitely visit again.

Booked for Afternoon Tea on Mother's Day for 6 people. Welcomed on arrival, friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. Rolls filled with salmon and cream cheese, tomato mozzarella and pesto, ham and cheese. Would have been nice to have cream cheese and cucumber or egg and cress which are Afternoon Tea staples, but the rolls were delicious. We had a vegetarian in our group who was catered for although there was gelatine in one of the cakes but we checked this before eating and staff confirmed so all fine. Our guest with a nut allergy was unwell and so not able to join us (we ate his share!) but thinking afterwards, there was battenburg cake on his plate and marzipan is usually made from almonds which is worth checking. I had a glass of prosecco, smoothies also an option and of course Tea and coffee (lots of options). There was so much cake and all delicious, the scones were light and very yummy! We had a disabled person with us, and as long as you are seated in main area access is great and toilet accessible. Staff very friendly, offered more rolls although we had plenty. Will definitely go back.

Always my first choice for lunch in Ware. Run by very friendly staff, it has a welcoming atmosphere. Large choice of breakfast and lunch dishes - filled rolls with hot and cold fillings, soups, salads and hot dishes. Very tempting range of cakes and patisserie too. Great for a catch up with a friend or lunch on my own.

Me and my husband love coming to this cute cosy little place. Service: Everyone is always welcoming and polite. Even when they are very busy, there is always time for a smile and a quick chat.Food: meals are well cooked with fresh ingredients.Atmosphere: nice soft instrumental music on the background.

After visiting this cafe regularly for breakfast every week, was extremely upset when myself and friend was served by young waitress who gave us serious stare with not one thank you or smile, when serving and paying our bill. I did ask for a smile from her when paying bill as was offended by this treatment to regular customers. She then looked at my friend and said she would like a thank you !!!! We were both upset and offended by this as we always say please and thank you but don’t expect to be told off by a waitress saying this. When speaking to manager he did not seem to care and I had to ask him to apologise on her behalf. He did reluctantly mumbled something. As regular customers to this cafe and always had a polite hello and goodbye in past and definitely always say thank you as absolutely say this everywhere we go. This treatment was completely wrong and extremely upsetting. Needless to say we will no longer be having breakfast there.

We love Milady & this was always our go to place for some nice food & coffee. But over the past few months they have removed all but 1 highchair & stated only 2 buggies are allowed in there at any one time. After trying to visit again there is now a sign saying no buggies in the table / seating area at all, there is no reason given for this. Really really disappointing to see that they have basically made it impossible to visit if you have a young child, it’s just very unwelcoming now. Such a shame!

We enjoyed a pot of the good quality tea and great a coffee, with a cinnamon teacake. All was very tasty. Other people had tasty looking brunch dishes, and there was some very professional looking patisserie on offer.Service was friendly and prompt even though the place was full. The lady next to us had no problem with wheelchair access, which was good to see.

Given a voucher for Afternoon Tea as a present, so decided to try it.Absolutely brilliant, well presented, beautiful cakes. Friendly and very welcoming.They also do excellent breakfasts and lunches and I am assured they are good as welThis is a family run business and all help to run it.Would definitely go again and recommend it to others

We arrived after travelling up from Brighton hungrey and tired. They were wanting to close but gracefully served us coffee and a baguette which was very tasty. The whole family who ran this place were delightful. We appreciated this as it was Christmas Eve. A big thank you to them.

Have been here a couple of times and have always been very impressed with the genuinely good service and quality of the food and drinks. The menu leaves you quite spoilt for choice, failing that there is always an enticing display of cakes in the bakery window that you can choose from.

Wish I could review the food but having waited and waited and waited to be served I gave up and left.

We visited on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Very busy. We were greeted as soon as we arrived and offered a couple of tables to choose from. Drinks were ordered and arrived quickly. Food was lovely and fresh. Would recommend and definitely visit again.

Since this cafe has been taken over from Belgique by a lovely couple, it has been transformed. It is bright and welcoming, with a huge selection of cakes, and lots of other things on the menu too. I ordered toast this morning, and it was really delicious bread, not just your average loaf. The cappuccino was also great, and you can tell they use excellent coffee. The best part about this place though is the people that run it, they are so friendly and kind to all their customers and you can see that they have regulars coming back time and time again because of the service they receive. It is definitely my favourite place to go for breakfast, as well as cake!

Have visited Milady on many occasions for breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea. The service is excellent, very friendly staff who take the time to talk whilst ensuring full service is always provided. There is always a choice of fresh food, made to order, fresh cakes and bread which are available to take away. The cafe is always busy a huge improvement on the previous business. Keep up the good work!

My partner and I went in for the 1st time since it changed ownership. Don't get me wrong, it's okay for your average cafe it's just disappointing that they are trying to copy what used to work with out the quality and selection that belgique used to offer. Cakes are still excellent despite the choice being reduced but the food in the cafe was very disappointing along with the service. The lady working there wanted to spend most her time chatting with one table and ignoring everyone else.

We used to come here when Belgique and thankfully it's still as good. Nice rage of savoury food options including all day breakfast. A couple more vegetarian options and brown breads would be welcome. Cakes and coffees very good. Service is relaxed but polite and straightforward. Very welcoming atmosphere. Looking forward to our next visit!

I used to love popping in for a cuppa and cake but after eating lunch here I wouldn’t go back. It looks posh but the food is bland and overpriced, the eggs have no colour or flavour and are from caged hen eggs. The cakes are great but less choice than before.. it’s just a place going down hill rather than up with pride.

A beautiful place bang on the Ware high street. Lovely bakery with artisan bread, delicious pastries on display as you enter the Lounge. Seating area is neatly tucked away behind the bakery counter. Beautiful interior, friendly owners, attentive staff. The food is delicious, service is excellent and a lovely place to meet and eat.Its children friendly, space for buggies and easy access for older folks.
