Orli Bagel Bakery in Hertsmere

Great little caffe, nice selection of food, pastries, coffee, shakes. Love their challah rolls. Very nice staff.

We always go to Pumpernick for our bread and cake and treats. We also regularly have a family lunch on a Sunday. It’s always really fun and atmosphere is great. Staff know us now and serve with a smile. Oh yes - the food is what you would sexpect. Delicious….. Nick the owner is a great guy and has a very long career in front of house and catering. He is always there, making sure everything is smooth…

Come for Sunday brunch and you could be in an upper Eastside New York deli, the only thing that gives it away are the London accents! Egg n onion, the best chopped herring for miles, equally good fish goujons, tuna salads, humungous portions and a sprinkling of Israeli classics make this small independent cafe, with its very own bagel and challah bakery out the back, rather special. Even more so in these days of dull homogenised chains. Everything served with a smile. Well done Nick (owner) & his team. Weekdays I challenge you to find a better soup( my favourite is the pea soup), with a warm challah roll probably no more than a few minutes old! Can’t recommend this little gem enough !!

Visiting Pumpernick’s is always such a treat. We feel spoilt by the warm friendly service but it’s the food that simply outdoes itself time after time… Challa or bulka sweet and warm and always freshly baked from the oven, perfectly cooked eggs in generous quantities, yummy smoked salmon piled high on a fresh bagel always with a tasty side salad to balance things out! (better not mention the gorgeous little pastries to polish off the meal with a tall latte) independent restaurants like this with a personal service, baked goods made on site and a good kitchen is something we are desperately short of in London and should be applauded and supported Although Pumpernicks is not our local we always feel it’s worth the journey… feels like coming home!

The best restaraunt experience I have had since 2016. The place is buzzing! I came for the first time last year, and I slowly realised why it was so popular. I have not stopped returning at least once a week. Non stop people in and out the door, fun music in the background, extremely friendly staff and owner. Whenever you walk into the restaurant, no matter how busy they are you feel like you are really cared about! Such a warming experience, and to top it off… the food is 10/10! I had the smoke salmon bagel which I can easily was the best bagel I’ve had since I can remember. My friend had the pizza which was delicious and another friend had the shakshuka. My only regret was that I became full, because I could have eaten that shakshuka every day for a month… it was incredible, top 3 I’ve ever had (and I’ve had many shakshukas in many different countries). The prices are very fair and you never have to worry about leaving hungry. I am a returning customer and will be for the next 30 years - I highly highly recommend pumpernicks.

Love the challah, bagels and all the delicious food on offer at Pumpernicks. Love the friendly staff as well. So glad they are on our high street :)

I love this place. Best bagels and Challah in town! Very personal service and definitely going back again soon.

One of the best bagels to be had in the London area; beats Brick lane. Too often in the UK, you get baked-only bagels, but these taste like the real deal. Not quite up to Absolute Bagels in Morningside Heights, NYC, but that is too much of a schlep for me.

They serve great and healthy bagels, sandwiches and baguettes here! Right in the middle of the tiny town Borehamwood is a hidden gem called Orli Bakery! Next to great food and drinks for a solid price, they also offer excellent service. I forgot my bag in the rush to get to the airport and they were so kind to immediately send it home to me without any troubles. Great place, great food. Would def. visit again. Once again: thanks!

Excellent lunch served in great surroundings. Staff efficient and friendly. Extremely popular so need to get there early for lunch. Great for vegetarians too, try the falafel platter! The cheesecake is tremendous too.

Great cafe, came here for a tea and cake and ended up having a bagel, was delicious! Great service too...and they play Magic radio which is nice. Will get some cakes to take away on my way out.

First the good. The service, the cleanliness, the friendly staff, the clean toilets. Now the bad. The food. Tiny portions on plates far too big. Stale beigels. Measly fillings. Stale beigel. One half of a thin spear of pickled cucumber, half a slice of fresh cucumber and a slice of tomato do not a salad make! Poor choice of pastries. No apple pie or apple filled anything. Overpriced fir what it is. Poor value for money. I wouldn’t visit again. There are better beigel cafés/milky restaurants in north-west London.

We ordered a couple of platters of mini quiches, a couple of platters of goujons and a birthday cake to celebrate my Dad's 95th birthday. The whole process was easy - I received a quote from Nick as requested. He didn't hassle me following the quote and placing the order was easily done by email. The food was ready when we went to collect and was all presented beautifully. The guests all commented on how lovely it was (one would imagine a bunch of 80-90 year olds would be quite discerning!) and the birthday cake was gorgeous. Thanks to all at Orli for helping make my Dad's little party a smashing evening!

My first time here and boy were they busy for the bakery. I wanted a coffee and a full English but I don't like veggie sausages. Disappointed, I ordered a soft chollah roll withe smoked salmon and cream cheese, and it was quality...superb smoked salmon. The service was fantastic and the coffee was great too.

I’ve been a loyal customer even when lots of new restaurants opened nearby. I was treated v badly today and ignored for half an hour. We had to help ourselves to a drink from the fridge as two year old was crying for apple juice. The pizza arrived and we had no cutlery or serviettes. No fish but offered fish fingers. By all means visit this place if you are favoured by the serving staff.....if you dont and arrive AHEAD of their friends they will ignore you and serve their favoured friends. Then tell you to move as the people behind prefer where you are sitting to the table reserved! They made it very clear they have more important customers than us. When you behave like that it’s the beginning of the END! We took the rest of our pizza and unopened sushi home! It cost us £24 for this experience. NEVER AGAIN! I’m sure there will be plenty of empty table if this continues. Get the basics right before refurbishing tables and chairs!

We were delighted with the tasty food that was delivered on time for a breakfast party we were hosting. Helpful and efficient service!

Walking along high road you cannot miss Orlis in the Wood.A simply delightful place to meet and have coffee, lunch or tea. The staff are all attentive,nothing is too much for them,all the food is cooked fresh and the bread is made on the premises,do try the lunch menu,my only advise is order for one and share, the portions are enormous, cant wait to go back there again and see the smiling faces.

My experience at orli was fantastic. It is a nice cosy place to have a delicious meal with your friends and family. The service was great and we received our food within a quick time. Their food ranging from sushi to bagels was very tasty. We all had a nice time and can’t wait to return back.

Went with seven of my friends. Had the best service and all the friends came out saying the food was great and the staff were so nice and I agreed. Been there a few times and always amazing service. It's my favourite restaurant in all of borehamwood

We recently visited our family in the UK and discovered ORLI BAGEL BAKERY in Boreham Wood. It was a delightful surprise and we returned for a second time. Nick, the owner, is charming and interested in his customers and their comments. We met his wife who is equally as nice. The food is scrumptious and we could have eaten there everyday had we not been inundated with family outings and events. I wish we had Orli in Toronto, we would be their very best customers. Thanks for the amazing experience. Hope to see you soon again. Ruth & Barry Rebuck, Toronto, Canada.

How can anyone come to Borehamwood and not call into Orlis,The best place in town for meeting friends,family and having a superb lunch, brunch or just a bagel or two.Staff still as attentive as ever, nothing too much trouble and always smiling faces,everything is cooked freshly by chefs who know there stuff,go on and try it ,you wont be disappointed. Leave plenty of time as you will almost certainly meet people you know

We just popped in for a late afternoon coffee and cakes but felt quite awkward and uncomfortable so didn't have much or stay long, The place was empty but when we ordered coffee the girl said that we'd have to sit at one of the three tables to the left of the door. We had no idea why this was as there were 5 or 6 tables on the others side and all were empty. It wasn't near their closing times so it was all odd. We were going to order some light snacks but we were made to feel like we were an inconvenience so in the end just had some pastries which were very nice. It was a shame as I can see this place would be great with the right welcome. Maybe we just caught it at an odd time.

There's a lot of choice in Borehamwood when it comes to bakeries but Orli holds its own. It's a tad pricey but its challahs and bagels are excellent and it's a real asset for the town. Fresh, clean and friendly.

The bakery is great - just remember that kosher bread is more expensive than supermarket bread BUT it is properly proven and baked rather than the quick stuff so it is better for you and tastes GOOD! If you like pumpernickel / black bread or all things rye then this is the place for you - just be prepared for this all costing a little bit more than your £1.20 sliced loaf. Also, try the chocolate rugelach (mini gooey chocolate croissants that are truly amazing with a hot cuppa (coffee / tea or hot chocolate). They do bagels and filled bagels as well. On to the menu and sit down - good portions and (usually) your waitress is smiling! The owner and his wife (Nick and Stephanie) have made this very much a family run experience and it is a good nosh. Afternoong tea is also a must if you have the time. You won't go hungry!

My wife and I were recently there for brunch. The food was excellent, the service was terrific and the friendliness of the staff was much appreciated, especially the owner. I would recommend Orli to anyone who finds themselves in Borehamwood.

Having been here before we were in the area and decided to have lunch there we ordered and when it arrived the falafels were rock hard as was the pita bread my friends onion rings were dark brown and over cooked in fact they were rock hard the mint tea was hot water and mint leaves what happened to the tea! They did charge us £17.15p after I questioned the bill as I was not paying for food that was inedible.I won’t be going back poor food and service a definite NoNo

The best challah you can buy! Their pastries are delicious, lovely and cosy place to sit and enjoy your coffee

Great place for lunch, but booking is recommended for more than 2 people as Orli isn't a large venue. The menu is huge - filled beigels, rolls and sandwiches, pasta, pizza, salads... Popular for morning coffee and afternoon tea. Service very friendly, but very often slow as they are so busy.Gets very busy at times, especially Friday mornings.

I've had afternoon tea here a few times, great food (the bread for the sandwiches is amazing) and the price is really good especially for Kosher.

Bagels are fresh & taste great. Large plaited Challah was so good, not a crumb went to waste over the weekend, with us fighting for the final crust.

Given the cafe is Kosher I expected high prices. Our usual cafe was unexpectedly closed so we chose Orli. I chose a salad and my father chose borekas which neither of us knew!To my complete surprise a huge salad arrived with lots of nicely fried halloumi and half an avocado. My father's borekas were 4 filled sausage roll shapes, although definitely no sausage! He said his was a little lacking in taste but mine was very nice, with roasted aubergine and sun dried tomatoes. And truly good value for money, the last thing I expected.

Don't know this town but arrived hungry and thirsty. 1st well known brand coffee shop I tried, the toilets were out of action. 2nd one the card machine not working (I wanted something to eat and a coffee, so around £10.00+ worth of business). 3rd one was closing!!! Fortunately happened upon Orli Bakery. Delicious, fresh, spotlessly clean, customer focussed. Everything the other three failed at. So, 'Star-nero-osta' in Borehamwood sharpen your collective act, but I suspect you have a long way to go to catch the local coffee and bagel hot-spot. Well done to Orli for showing the big boys how to do it right!

They are the very best bagels we have ever had . Recommended highly everytime we visit our son we gave to take loads with us

Such friendly service well don't to nick and the team will certainly return and their cafe options look good as well

We really recommend Orli for genuinely good food using and fantastic service. Go there and eat well! In this age of so much choice everyday and everywhere believe us...we’re just like you: regular people wanting to eat well and enjoy a nice atmosphere!

Great breakfast choices. A lot of sandwiches options. Very friendly owner. Tasty tuna bagel, huge portion.

Great mmenu ,delicious food ,we had 2 breakfasts here .The cappachino was excellent the atmospere and service are great .On Friday there are long lines of people buying challot and bagels .I would recommend it to anyone who needs kosher food ,although gentiles also seem to like the bakery too.Fantastic place !

We ordered the smashed avocado on sourdough with smoked salmon and poached egg which was amazing and very filling. The shakshuka was also really good. Although very busy, their staff were ‘on it’ and we had no delays with great service and always a smile. Definitely going back soon ...!

Just used this fab bakery to cater for a family party this weekend. The owner Nick is a pleasure to deal with and very professional. The platters were beautifully presented and delicious and the danish were lovely. I highly recommend using this place for any catering needs

I visit Orli on a regular basis. The choice of food is fabulous with all the usual favourites. The staff are always friendly and ready to help in any way they can. Would definately recommend you give this lovely bakery a visit. You won’t be disappointed.

The bread here is excellentm staff friendly and the light meals are very pleasant. Can get somewhat crowded on a Friday

great little place to go very busy even on a sunday we had breakfast there lots of choices for vegetarians great service and the food was very good it is also a bakery and the bagels were great the next day for lunch

Great place for the kosher kid's - dairy! The sushi is great as well as the bagels. I would highly recommend for catering for all occasions.

Really enjoyed lunch recently. Mushroom pizza was v nice compared to anywhere else and very generous. Filled bagel with tuna, egg and aubergine was delicious. It is clean and the food is fresh and tasty. The bread is fab and freshly baked every day. Best bagels I can get. The owner and staff are very friendly and accommodating. I always head Orli in Borehamwood when I want a nice lunch!

Visited this restaurant/bakery on 7th November 2017, having made a reservation for three as it is very busy and full on a daily basis.We all chose fish and chips, which arrived with four (for me) and five for the others, pieces of haddock. We had expected one large fillet. The food was cooked well but one of us requested roasted vegetables rather than chips and received a few pieces of slightly charred peppers, courgettes, and tomatoes. The cost was about £11 each.The restaurant area was very busy indeed but we had a table by the door and there were constant customers for the breads and other bakery items on sale so there was a bit of a draught.

Consistently good often getting our weekly bread also sometimes treating myself to the odd cake Be prepared to queue at busy times

Absolutely amazing, really great food, great ambient. Small place, really friendly team, amazing atmosphere. Food amazing, really well done, you know that is made fresh.

We received a warm, welcome and were helpfully seated immediately. The service continued to be good and the food fresh, freshly cooked with some innovative modern combinations of the traditional Deli menu - We were too full to stay for their tea menu, but took home supplies!Planning our next visit very soon

Chips are great and pasta and pizza is amazing. Love the shop challah is absolutely incredible. Great local shop

We had breakfast here a few months ago , they got our order wrong three times , and tried to overcharge us for the bread I bought . Not one of my favourite places .

Have been buying Bagels smoked salmon and bread from when they first opened and although their are other Kosher bakers in the area their products taste the best. Sunday morning hot fresh bagels and smoked salmon fantastic for lunch or brunch. Only complaint is bagels are .50 p each this is a little costly compared to brick lane bagels(which are the best in London) that cost about 15p each. Still if you are in the area i highly recommend their bread and their small cheese buns are fantastic.

There were 5 of us looking for a good breakfast and this place looked busy . As a result service was a bit slow as they seemed to be delivering some external catering. three of the party had Shashuka which looked great and went down well. I had traditional english fry up which was ok and my son requested gramola and fresh fruit which was served late and disappointing. We did however all buy fresh bagels to take home which were delicious and on reflection would have been a better choice from the menu. Good atmosphere .

Just back from a scrummy lunch. The Eggs Benedict were really good but next time I'll try the Yiddushe Benedict - or maybe the Shashuka. Always good value and very friendly service. The best chollas in town.

I booked a table for 8 people sunday lunch and it was lucky that I did book. When we arrived the place was packed. This is a small place and if you want a table for more than 4 people you should book.I wanted to have the sunday tea which was on their website but was told that they needed 24 hours advance notice as the scones were made fresh to order, I was very disappointed as I did not recall reading that. I went for a salmon bagel, which turned up on a plate with a little salad, but it did look sad. Another person on our table ordered a salmon and avocado salad which looked great and value for money.The staff were friendly and even though it was hard to get their attention as they were run off their feet, they did try to deliver the drinks quickly as it was extremely hot.

Great service, good menu. Good smoothies and you get your order fast. Very clean and people always try to help you, even if the kitchen is not ready. Good bagels.

Love this bakery! The little bagels are simply delicious. Staff are friendly. Can't wait to go back!

A breath of fresh air, food well prepared and very flavoursome. A perfect little deli for lunch. Not for big parties though, limited space options.

We arranged a surprise birthday tea for my mother-in-law. There were 24 or us. The place was decorated with birthday balloons. Afternoon tea consisted of a drink of choice, fresh sandwiches, scones with jam and thick cream and some mini cream cakes and chocolate éclairs. The staff were wonderful and we all left full and satisfied having had a splendid afternoon. Great value for money and very tasty.Thank you Nick and everyone in the shop.

I ordered take away platters of filled bagels, latkes and mini pizzas, together with sweet Danish pastries. Everything was fresh and delicious (the mini bagels and latkes were particular favourites) and Nick delivered everything for me, which was also a great help. Highly recommended.

Visited Orli with family of 8 for Mothers Day brunch. The bagel bakery was incredibly busy, yet we received very attentive service along with excellent food. Everything is cooked fresh and to a very high standard. We all had different egg dishes and everything was cooked as requested and to perfection. Will certainly visit again when in the area. Great busy, lively and friendly atmosphere !!

A great place for a quick light lunch with clients and family. They also offer a lovely Sunday tea. Great customer service - Nick and his team are fabulous.

Packed out so knew it had to be good. Not wrong. Regular customers and they know what they want and bakery knows how to deliver what customers want.

The happy staff are always welcoming with a smile, making it a warm friendly atmosphere! There is a great selection of foods; hot or cold, made with fresh ingredients, always tasty and generous portion sizes.The place has a buzzing ambiance, great for families, couples, friends, anyone & everyone!Highly recommend a visit, the owner is a such a down to earth nice person who personally greets customers - a rarity today when many places to eat are large chain owned.

Hi right in the heart of elstree and borehamwood great to meet family and friends. And the food is always constantly good

The lunches are the best. Alsways freshley made and fresh ingredients. Staff are always friendly. There is also a deli counter which serves chopped herring etc. They also do amazing chollas. Always busy at lunch time, but never had a problem getting a table.

Delicious shakshuka freshly made. Service was very efficient and served with a friendly smile. Great buzzy atmosphere and plenty to choose from on the menu. Bakery and take away all looked very inviting and fresh. Will definitely be returning and hoping that maybe they open a branch in Mill Hill!

Lovely place, great healthy food (try the tuna bagel), very pleasant staff - combination of bakery and cafe with the constant aroma of freshly baked bread.

Wow. What can I say about orli in the wood. It deserves over 1000000 stars , not just 5! It is the most amazing restaurant ever , spot on for everything. The staff are all so polite helpful and inviting, and are willing to amend anything (I am a very fussy eater) they also have patience and time , so with my 100 questions about the menu they were willing to wait and answer all of them. I would 1020020202 percent be going back , it is honestly the best restaurant I've ever been too!!

In my opinion Orli is a rare breed of neighbourhood restaurant that, frankly, can do no wrong. I've visited three times over the past few weeks - with family and then with friends - and every time it has been genuinely sensational. Food wise, the chef is clearly a bit of a genius. Fantastic menu ranging from beautifully made staple Jewish comfort food to modern & exciting options, all the way to sushi that I'm sure would rival Japan's finest! The portions are incredibly generous let me add. I also tried the bakery which was sensational. Challahs which melt in your mouth, bagels perfectly soft yet crisp. The Atmosphere: I love the atmosphere here. It's buzzy, busy, welcoming, and feels like the place to be. It's the rare sort of place where the owner greets with you a smile everyday - and probably makes an effort to learn your name too. You just don't get places like this anymore, so we must cherish them when they come along! The service was attentive but not intrusive. It does get busy but I'd much rather eat somewhere with a great atmosphere then be the only people in an otherwise empty restaurant! Pricing seemed extremely reasonable for the quality (and, frankly, quantity!) of the food. This is a place I will be revisiting time and time again - and I'd come even more if I was a Boreham Wood local!

I visited Orli just the other day,The food, the smoothies, what can I say!It was fresh, authentic & extremely tasty,Eating anywhere else would've simply been crazy!I got the unique Yiddisher Rarebit which was one of a kind,And I tried my mums eggs bageldict which were simply divine,Of course we shared some sushi, which had a delicious flavour,And the challah that I took home with me was literally a lifesaver!I would seriously rate this place as a 10 out of 10, The food will without doubt please all women & men,I'd travel near & far just to get to the Orli,& I recommend you all do the same, so you can spread your story!

I visited Orli's twice last week, meeting my son and granddaughter for lunch. What a fabulous place. All the staff are very warm and welcoming but I must single out particularly Marva. We were made to feel almost like family. On my first visit I had sabich which was truly delicious, a wonderful blend of flavours, beautifully presented. The second visit I had shakshooka, again delicious. The popularity of Orli's is evident as it is always busy. I also bought a challah for Shabbat and it was one of the best I have had. Although I live in Nottingham I'm in Edgware every week and will certainly become a regular visitor to Orli's in the Wood.

i always pop into orli for a boreka or a bagel but i actually sat in for once and tried one of their meals. I wasnt expecting much just assuming id get some egg on toast.Was blown away by the veggie breakfastIt had everything you needed, well presented, clean and flling.price was also fairEnjoyed the meal alotwould definitly come back againKeep it up!!

Best challah, best coffee, lovely staff. The chocolate rogellach are possibly the best ever. Worth the calories. For me, the bread, pastries and coffee are the strengths and everything else is ok but a bit pricey.

I meet a friend for lunch in borehamwood yesterday and we decided to go to Orli for lunch. The staff were so lovely and the food delicious. We shared an enormous Jerusalem bagel and a salad ....and even though we were both full we couldn't leave without sharing a slice of the most delicious creamy cheesecake. Thanks Orli we had a fab lunch!

We got recommended to eat here by a friend Best Food i have had in Borehamwood Fresh interesting Salad that would make anyone who likes fresh food very happy. Dough Balls were excellent and knock socks off pizza express.

The onion bagels are the best I have had anywhere in the world. Fact ! The fish goujons were superb I need to get more next time....a lot more !

Tasty bagels, challah and very good coffee. Helpful and friendly service. Only not 5 star because of some confusion with our order and lack of salt beef.

They are the best cafe/ restaurant around. The food and service are great. Staff are very friendly. Rate it highly

The baked goods here are divine. The challah is the best in NW London. The bagels are delicious. The goujons and chopped herring are also fabulous!! They just need to sort out their salads.

You can't go wrong with a mouthwatering bagel from Orlis'. If the bagel you are looking for isn't available, the friendly staff will make you what you want there and then. Excellent bakery!

This bakery ids simply the best for miles! Bagels and challas are delicious and hot out the oven. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful. We would not go anywhere else for fresh bakery products.

The friendly staff at Orli's really made my friend and I feel as though we, as customers, were important on an individual level and one of the great things is the occasional offers that are sometimes on that make it really worth wandering down Shenley Road, for an olive-y Pasta dinner

I am a regular customer of Orli Borehamwood for our weekly Chola and Bread Order.Steph,Nick and the team are always on hand and the quality of the bread and deli is a good as the service.We recently made a tea and Orli came up trumps with the order and the delivery whatever we required was not a problem.Look No Further Than Orli For Your Bread,Deli and Party Requirements !!!!!

I love this place. It's now close to where I work, so sometimes visit at lunchtime. I really appreciate their friendly service. They really care and there is always a buzz and a big smile for customers. There is also trust, which is rare these days. I didn't realise there was s card minimum spend. No problem. Pay next time! I've been on holiday, so that day was today. Try it. Lovely fresh bread and bagels etc.

This little bakery is very busy every time I visit. Their baked treats are phenomenally different. The bread & bagels are freshly baked, if you get there early they're still warm. Coffee and cake is what I go there for and always have to buy their fabulous bread.

Enjoy traditional Jewish bread from this fine bakery. Eating in is fun too. Great staff and friendly atmosphere.

Great deli. Fabulous bread and cakes and yummy bagels and salads. Everything very fresh and tasty. Really lovely staff

Cant recommend highly enough this location for lunch, afternoon tea, just a coffee or supper - variety of baked and salad and breakfast menu is very good. Salads are a lovely picture and very fulfilling.Always busy worth booking - even has some outside seating.Always very welcoming by their hosts Steph and Nick.Perfect food with lovely people and they even do catering!!

I love this place!! I'm there every week for my challah, it's also my favourite place to meet up with a friend for coffee or lunch. The atmosphere has a very friendly vibe. They do get busy at lunch time because it is a popular place to go for great food & friendly staff, maybe try a less busy time if you have a time scale. If I'm ever meeting a friend in Borehamwood, this is my place to go!!

I asked Orli to cater a function for me providing platters of filled mini bagels and bridge rolla as well as pastries. Everything was so fresh and tasty and everyone commented on how delicious it was. They were a pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend them.

There's a very simple reason why Orli is always so busy: the food is fresh, imaginative & delicious and the staff are unfailingly attentive. It's become my "go-to" cafe for lunch with family or friends. And you have to keep going back- there's such a huge choice, that you'll want to try everything! Recommended

I went here for a solo lunch. I had a very good tuna bagel and a nice vegetarian soup. The waitress was very nice and helpful. The latte in the end was very well made too. Only down side was when I went to pay. The perk sign outside showed one thing and they said and explained other thing. Little confusion, but has been sorted. I will be back surly.

I love Orli's in the Wood! The staff are extra friendly and go out of their way to make sure their customers are happy. There's always a buzz in the place and the food is delicious! I live 90 miles away but make sure I pick up plenty of Challahs each visit to stock up my freezer in Hove. You won't be disappointed.

We ordered 2 x jacket potatoes 1 x pizza and 1 x bagel sandwich, order was taken just after 2 other tables (2 x 2 tops) and we waited and waited and the other two tables had there food delivered and eaten even before we had oursI had to return to work so did not eve get to eatWaste of my time and energy

They are always very attentive, cheerful and helpful and the food is fresh and served quite quickly. Not a massive menu but something for everyone.

Hubby and I stumbled upon this little bakery in Borehamwood whilst looking for somewhere to eat. We saw it was packed and all the other places around were empty so we decided to try it. We found a little table by the window and believe me the queues did not stop all the time we were there. We ordered our breakfast which were omelettes and these were very good. You can also buy your bagels and breads here and any deli you fancy. One stop Shop. Service was good and with a smile. Will go back.

Great food, atmosphere and staff. Always a pleasure to shop and eat in here. The staff are so friendly and can't do enough for you. Highly recommend a visit!

Everything I've eaten here has tasted good, staff are friendly enough but I feel it is over priced...

We have been loyal customers of this establishment since it opened . It is now run by Stephanie and Nick Stern ( but Marvellous Marva is the mainstay of this coffee bar). Why go to Starbucks, Costa Coffee or Cafe Nero when Orli's has the best coffee and such a great variety of teas. You couldn't wish for a better place to meet your friends or just to socialise. The Danish to accompany coffee are exquisite. Lunch is a special treat with all types of bagels, salads,pasta,pizzas,egg dishes and most especially SUSHI prepared by BK the in house sushi chef. All the other food is prepared by Marco the head chef and if it's not on the menu he will create it. Afternoon tea on Sunday is a special treat with all types of sandwiches and delicious pastries. Join the queue for Cholas on Friday and you may find yourself halfway down the High Street. This is definitely a place to visit if you are anywhere in North London or Hertfordshire.

Reliable food and friendly staff makes Orli a great choice for fresh meals , love my halomi salad and shashuka amongst other freshly baked goodies 😃
