Rich - Blend Cafe in North Hertfordshire

A small, busy café tucked away behind an industrial estate—an unusual, frankly awful location. Despite this, the decorations create a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. The serving system is strange. You queue up to place your order (in my case, a simple latte), pay, and then take a seat. However, the clear bottleneck in this process is that there appears to be only one barista and one person taking orders—who then double as the same staff delivering drinks to tables. Perhaps the issue was more noticeable because I visited during a busy period, but it still seems like an easily fixable problem. The wait time from ordering and paying to actually receiving my coffee was 12 minutes—pretty excessive for something so simple. As for the coffee itself, it was fine. Not too bold, not too bland—palatable for the general consumer. If you're after specialty coffee, this might not be the place for you. Overall, it's a reasonably priced and pleasant café with an odd serving process and a terrible location. But once you're inside with your coffee, it’s... just fine. 4★

Great pub with friendly staff and great views. Will definitely be back.

The moment you step through the door, you're get a warm welcome and lightning-fast service. The best coffee in Royston! Breakfast/Brunch menu is all about quality ingredients done well. The eggs benedicts are out of this world. It's relaxed, baby-friendly, spent many mornings here. What's not to love? An easy 5 stars!

Stylish and cozy interior. Food was perfect; I would highly recommend the Dauphinoise. Very much enjoyed the seating being able to watch the chef’s put together the tasty dishes too. Well worth the money.

Saturday night - gladiators on the tv at a loud volume. Then they played one song then flipped channels to a royal documentary on C5 , loudly. Then put on music......one song. Back to C5. No one wants C5, even at home!
