This lovely reading room cafe was host to a Burns Night Poetry event which was my first time in this quaint little space. It was so inviting. Anna was there to greet customers and make them feel like being welcomed into a friend's home for coffee. There were all the hot drinks on offer and flavoured brownies too. The poetry readings were beautiful in this small space; everyone felt welcomed and comfortable reading and sharing their works for an hour together here. I will definitely return to a future event or just pop in while I'm in St. Albans. It's a hidden gem in the heart of town; great for working, writing, reading, playing a game of chess or catching up with friends over a hot cup of tea. Definitely not to be missed!

We visited the Reading Rooms Café one weekend when the city centre, and all the other cafes, were very busy. So it was a delight to find this oasis of calm. My filter coffee and Biscoff biscuit were enjoyed along with some interesting facts from a book I picked at random from the masses around me. Whilst there may be no barista coffee here, or a wide selection of cakes, this reading room is just a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of St Albans. The choice of drinks is filter coffee, three types of tea or squash / cold milk for children. To eat: chocolate brownie or a choice of two types of chocolate bars. The reading room and café is accessible via a door next to the bookshop entrance. A staircase leads to the reading rooms (full of books) and a small seating area – a mixture of tables and comfy seats. Will definitely revisit.

Booked afternnon tea for my 94 year old mum before Christmas but had to re-book as she wasn't well. Andrea couldn't have been more helpful with that and we visted last Saturday 25th January. The service was first class, with a warm welcome on arrival. Afteroon Tea was wonderful with a good selection of sandwiches and cakes. a loverly relaxed atmosphere in a quirky but beautiful restaurant. Thank you Andrea it made a nice end to a wonderful day out for my mum. David

20a Leyton RoadLussmanns is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for high-quality, sustainable dining in a relaxed yet elegant setting. From the moment you arrive, the friendly and professional staff make you feel welcome, providing attentive service without being intrusive. The menu is thoughtfully curated, with a focus on fresh ingredients that shine in every dish. Whether you opt for seafood, meat, or a vegetarian option, you can expect beautifully presented plates packed with flavour. Value for money at Lussmanns is excellent, offering a premium dining experience at a reasonable price point. The only slight downside is that when the restaurant is full at lunchtime, it can get a little noisy. The lively atmosphere adds to the charm, but those looking for a quiet, intimate meal might prefer to visit at a less busy time. Overall, Lussmanns delivers consistently great food, excellent service, and superb value, making it a top choice for casual dining and special occasions alike.
