Side of (tinned?) mushrooms came cold with an omelette. Bacon was dry and off colour a bit, maybe precooked? Pretty average cheap cafe. Not bad. Just not good either. Disappointed for a random cafe pick. Onwards and upwards guys!

We fancied a cheeky NYE breakfast delivery . I clearly didn’t research properly. I did read a negative review but thought let’s give them the benefit of the doubt and try them out. Wish I’d listened!! The food was extremely disappointing, dry hard bacon , dry conjealed eggs , soggy toast ( no butter requested on the side) no disposable cutlery requested. Not worth the money at ALL !!

Since changing hands this cafe has nose dived. It used to be the go to place to pop in for a sandwich at lunch time. The prices have gone through the roof, and sandwich fillings been cut by a third. Stale bread, the least filling they could possibly use. £9 for a sandwich, crisps and a can of pop is one thing but to get hardly any filling at all is daylight robbery. I will not be visiting again!

I was very disgusted how the waitress woman spoke too me in a rude manner tune; how they don't have rice which I found very odd as every cafe I've been too has rice; and wasn't greatful that I could hear her back chatting me behind the counter to the member of staff.Which is a massive red flag of disrespect towards a customer so for that you only get a 1 star for your arrogance; by the way I also didn't like how the bake beans were luke warm which could of been more hotter when I eat it so won't be coming back here again.😡🤨🙄😳

Visited the cafe with the idea of it being a 4.5 star. I don’t want to offend but it wasn’t the best and for just under 10 pounds this the quality of the salmon I received. Please see the image below. I had not brought this up with the cafe it self as I don’t feel it was something that was missed by accident. When it was served these parts were hidden on purpose.

A really lovely place with a relaxing environment. I moved to St Albans a few months ago and I've been coming here a couple of times. The staff is friendly and the food is pretty hearty. There are just 2 things that I wish were different: 1) it would be great if there was a vegan option (not only vegetarian) and 2) a milk alternative; not only for vegans but also for people who are lactose intolerant and simply don't want black coffee. Edit: thank you for adding milk alternatives!

I usually get the traditional or mega breakfast (and order hash browns as an extra). Some staff members have been better hosts than others, have had mixed results when it comes to service. It is reasonably priced for a breakfast or brunch. Never been there for anything else so can't comment on anything else. However, there is sometimes some fresh fruit tubs in the fridge which I've purchased for my daughter before, very convenient. The thick doorstep bread, lightly toasted, is always a really tasty addition and makes it stand out from the other cafés in St Albans. It isn't top of the line quality but it's good food for a decent price, so no complaints. Love it and would definitely recommend.

I have been going for a whole and sadly the service and food has deteriorated. The last time we given dirty cutlery, overcooked food (waffle cremated) and "free" ice-cream which chards of plastic pieces in it. It was a lot of money to spend to realise we will not be returning but thankfully I found the plastic in the ice-cream rather than one of my young daughters.

Well, this place has nose dived. Such a shame. The service is hilariously bad now. You can't get served, the waiting staff just potter around, don't clean tables until new people come and wait. The truth is, you can't run a restaurant like this. We had 2 people leave while we waited as they just ignored 2 thirds of the dining room. It's pot luck, we waited 20 minutes to watch a table of two get served before us who had been in for 3 minutes. Mulberry good name will soon be gone if they don't address's the abysmall service. The place is tiny, there's three wait staff, three, they weren't short staffed just unorganised and unmotivated. Train the staff, its Literally a joke. If you want to eat here order online, you will be forgotten about

The cafe use to be owned by Rory and Mark. So I popped in to say hello. I discovered that new owners had taken over. I ordered the chicken roast. They said the price had gone up. Unfortunately the quality of food hadn’t. So here are y finding. Chicken was defrosted. The vegetables were boiled to an inch of their lives. Soggy and tasteless. The roast potatoes defrosted and cooked in microwave. No crust on outside and just soggy mosh on the middle. The whole dinner was awful. Here is the kicker. It cost £9.50. What an insult. Could have got a decent Sunday roast in better surroundings for that. Really was not value for money. Avoid and if you can’t. Don’t have the roast.

Rip off. The menu has a misleading item line of: 2 eggs on toast. It has x2 in brackets too so you would think your going to get 2 eggs on 2 toast for £4. Er, NO. I ended up paying £6 because in print further down the menu it says you can double up (the toast - which isn’t referenced). So I inadvertently ordered this thinking it’s £4 because I didn’t see it. So £6 for 2 eggs on toast is a rip off. In all I paid £10.50 as I had a tea and bacon with my eggs. In other cafe’s that would normally be £6 for the lot. It’s a shame because it used to be a great cafe 3 or 4yrs ago. I won’t be going back.

Menu extras, melted cheese £1.50 doorstep toast £2.00. Cheese toasty £4.00 so 50p for putting it together, the bread was so lightly toasted in fact it was really just bread. Butter, less said about that the better, cheese, cheap sliced stuff. Nothing good about it. Forgot the ketchup. So few ingredients yet every one messed up. Complete disaster for which I won’t return.

Appalling attitude of owner shouting across the cafe telling me and my wife to leave because we had a little dog with us. I asked the reason why he has this policy since practically every other restaurant in St Albans has absolutely no problem with dogs. Does he think his little cafe is more upmarket than the Peahen, Bills or Gails? Wow what a horrible attitude from an impolite man who refused to even give a reason.

Now it's kinda evolved into the "middle aged men's weekend away" We no longer do the BnB Barfs and Burger vans. We've separated only in our locations some of us are 500 miles apart now but 3 or 4 times a year we attempt to be 20 again ( but now it's nice rooms and nice restaurants) but it's has always been and will continue to be the best post drinking cure at Mulberrys , The best breakfasts I've had .
