Sparks Community Cafe in Welwyn Hatfield

It is not bad as a community place to help many people in need. The food and drink was nice but ee would like our meals close to same time.

Excellent value for money, really enjoyable home made food. Helpful, friendly staff. Again, homemade 'cakes & buns' to die for. And what's more all in a really good cause. It just goes to prove that you do not need a fancy menu, posh decor and the latest gadgets to be really good. Thanks all, I will be back. highly recommended.

Worthwhile trip enjoyed the homemade steak pie - good quality steak. Pleasant service and friendly atmosphere. Good value too!

Lovely cafe, great food, very welcoming. This cafe does amazing work, please visit and then visit again!!

Visited the cafe. Was very impressed. They cook decent food that tastes proper (cooked with kindness) Met the Day team and night team It is worth mentioning the ethos of the Cafe & how it works. The food a donation of £10 pays for a bed a home Cooked meal & breakfast. £5 will pay for a healthy homecooked meal for someone who may simply be unable to afford it.

I had a breakfast here on Saturday the food was amazing the staff where so friendly and very welcoming. I will be using this place a lot more from now on.. Thank you chef for my lovely breakfast, Thanks also to the staff that made me feel very welcomed with a smile . See you all next week :)

This is the second time I have been to sparks and it is becoming a firm favourite. The first time was for breakfast, they do excellent bacon sandwiches and the eggs benedict was one of the best ones I had. The lunch menu was equally as good with the sweet chilli halloumi wrap and an incredible yet simple tuna and cheese toastie. And to top it off the homemade cakes were the perfect finish. Don't be put off by its exterior, it is such a unique and wonderful idea with great food and company I would recommend it to anyone

Visited with two colleagues as we want to support this community cafe as it’s name sake Lynne Sparks was a big supporter of our work. Friendly staff and we enjoyed the halloumi wrap, a cheese omelette and a piece of lemon drizzle cake. Cakes are made and donated by customers, helping to raise money for the Resolve charity that helps local people and funds a night shelter. We were happy to pay ‘what we could afford’ and will return! Well done chef manager Bradley. Hope to try the breakfast menu next time!

I've visited Sparks Cafe a few times now, twice had the eggs benedict for which Chef Bradley whisks up a fresh batch of Hollandaise sauce each time. It's delicious! I've also had a wrap and sampled various delicious cakes! It's a fabulous idea - pay what you can for the food. Drinks are a set price at a very reasonable £1 each but pay what you think it's worth/can afford for the food. Any profits go towards the night shelter which is a great cause. The staff really look after my small children, bringing over crayons and colouring books to keep them occupied. It's just a great place to spend time in.

Dropped in on a Saturday with two kids under 5. We were seated quickly by the very attentive and kind staff, who explained how the pay what you want system works and handed us our menus. Very nice breakfast selection, what what me n the kids enjoyed the most were the bakes!! Caramel cupcake and a slice of carrot cake with frosting that was a thing of fantasies 😍😍😍. Son loved the hot chocolate and polished off the entire mug which as as big as his face. Also had an an order of eggs benedict big portion. All in all a great experience.. will be visiting again

I visited the Sparks Community Café on Saturday for brunch with two friends. The staff were friendly and attentive. I asked if I could have avocado on toast and despite this not even being on the menu, the Chef very kindly accommodated my request and even came over to our table to introduce himself and check how our food was - which incidentally not only tasted great but was also very well presented. The Café works on the basis of "pay what you can". The idea being that the donations go towards the charity's Night Shelter which is a fantastic initiative and such a worthy cause. I am already planning my next visit to the Café!

Recently attended a networking event and learnt about the works of the Sparks Community Cafe. It’s a fantastic initiative supporting a night shelter which is run after the cafe closes until it reopens the next day. The food in the cafe was better than expected and the menu has plenty of variety. I had the eggs benedict. The cafe is set up on a “pay what you like basis” with some recommenced donations. I paid £10 which is said to feed and provide shelter for someone for the evening. If you’re looking for something different this is recommended.

Great food, really friendly atmosphere and helping the local community too - will definitely be back!

Excellent service lovely people food looked amazing totally recommend this place to anyone Went here with friends for the first time was amazed by it all made me feel so welcomed and love what the money people donate goes to helping our community if they have no where to sleep at night .

We visited in Sat 28th Sept as it is named after our friend Lynne who sadly passed away. The food is really good, the volunteers are all friendly and welcoming. We had Eggs Benedict, 😋 my sister had a toasted sandwich 😊 and we had several teas and coffees, which I thought were much nicer than other places so they must be using good quality ingredients. Please go along and find out for yourself as I would highly recommend Sparks and it is giving back to the community we are from and live in.

Lovely tasty food, excellent service and a very friendly atmosphere. More importantly, it's all in a very good cause supporting people in the community.

We were welcomed when we arrived and given a choice of tables. Staff were attentive but not badgering you all the time - just the right balance. They were friendly and polite to chat to. When our order came the food was outstanding. Freshly cooked,...

Love the idea of this cafe, where you donate what you can for the food and it supports people in the community 💖 atmosphere was so friendly, great attention to service and the food was delicious, tasty and plentiful. Will definitely be returning.

Quaint little Pay as you Feel Cafe in the middle of bustling Hatfield, Hertfordshire. One of fairly few running this initiative in Hertfordshire. I wasn't expecting much for my money. I was to be sorely dissapointed. The food was sublime and presented immaculately. The sevice...

Had an absolutely excellent breakfast, the eggs were just perfect. Service was 10/10. Would thoroughly recommend it.

Been about 4 times to this cafe now, we keep going back to introduce new people. You pay for drinks then 'pay what you feel' for the food, is a great inclusive community initiative. Fabulous food, great service, clean, cheerful,friendly. Situated right next to the...
