The Kitchen Croxley in Three Rivers

It’s just a lovely place to be. Absolutely deserves 5* for food, service and the general atmosphere. Thank you for a lovely morning coffee and cake for our son.

The Kitchen recently made a fantastic bespoke 30th birthday cake for my daughter. Cake decoration was so creative and incredibly well done. Also cake was dairy and gluten free and it tasted great. Birthday girl was so pleased. Thanks to all involved

Had the best experience with such lovely food and people and food was delicious had so amazing pancakes and your definitely go back

Absolutely smashing experience! 10/10 service so so welcoming too. The food was simply lush and the atmosphere was lovely, would 100% recommend!

My mum and sister were invited to enjoy an afternoon tea and absolutely loved it. My mum has had the opportunity to try afternoon teas in many fancy places, however, she stated that this was one of the best experiences she has ever had. Linda made them feel incredibly welcome, as did the two staff members, Lily and Lil, who served them. Every single item on the table was locally sourced and freshly made each day at the venue. Something you can taste when eating the cakes, scones and sandwiches, which are simply delicious. Leaving with boxes filled with leftovers, I know it won’t be long before they go back for more, as they were so impressed by it all. Linda should be incredibly proud of everything she has created. It is truly fantastic and we couldn’t recommend it enough.

We visited The Kitchen Croxley for a Valentine's Day afternoon tea. The food was lovely and the quantities just right - we finished just before the point of feeling overfull! (Though they would have boxed any leftovers for us anyway). Plenty of finger sandwiches, 2 scones each with jam and cream, 3 types of cake, as much tea as we could drink and a glass of prosecco (as we booked early) all for under £30 a head, which was excellent value. The place was busy and clearly very popular with the locals. Highly recommended.

Lovely friendly cafe x lots of choice of cakes x friendly efficient waitress x lovely lattes x will most definitely revisit x

My Mother in law is housebound so we weren’t able to take her out for afternoon tea which was a dream of hers so we thought we’d surprise her with an afternoon tea at home. Cue a trip to the Kitchen who couldn’t have been more helpful. The sandwiches, cakes and scones were absolutely amazing and delicious but to be honest as customers who love the Kitchen that didn’t surprise us. What blew us away was the care taken over every detail, ringing to check the sandwich fillings were appropriate, letting us borrow a cake stand, making sure it was beautifully presented even down to the tea bags. My Mother in law has had a terrible time and I can’t express how blown away she was by her treat. We can’t recommend the Kitchen highly enough. You won’t be disappointed.

Went with two friends for Afternoon Tea. It was so lovely. Had so much to eat, sandwiches were lovely and fresh, the scones were so yummy and the cakes were amazing. Lovely presentation and lovely staff. Would definitely return.

Superb service from our waitress Jemma, combined with a wonderful atmosphere and great food. Even allowed me to “tweak” the menu to suit my personal tastes. Will come again.

Lovely lunch. Cakes, in particular, are really nice and fresh, and the paninis were great. Staff are so friendly and helpful.

My third visit for afternoon tea and it’s always delicious. The cakes especially are great, and you can takeaway the food you can’t finish. Would definitely recommend.

Was visiting my sister who lives locally and stopped off for a bite to eat and a catch up. Can highly recommend the panini and home made cakes and specifically the sticky toffee sponge, was delightful. Wonderful friendly staff made it feel very homely. Few gifts for sale too in shop to take home, will definitely be back when visiting area next time

This is one of the best coffee places especially in Croxley Green they have the best cakes and the best friendly staff ever

Great tea and cake followed with amazing sandwiches and panini Highly recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat

Waiting for my daughter who was next door at the dentist, brought my little grandson in for a snack. What a little gem of a place, a real find. The food was delicious. Only tiny gripe is the service, which was very slow and things came in a fairly random order. Coffee, but not the cake we expected to be served with it. The toasted sandwich for my very hungry and tears-theatening little grandson was delcious but took forever to arrive although the babychino was perfect for him and arrived instantly. Lovely laidies running it. I'd certainly go again if I was in the area. Would have loved to have given it five stars!

My sister (45) and I (44) visited today to celebrate the birthdays of my mum (72) and my godmother (71), after hearing good things about the afternoon tea here, and I have to say we were not disappointed. The whole experience was just lovely. We...

This cake shop is bright and airy and is close to the towpath on the canal where one can view boats, locks etc. They served our coffees and fruit juices with a smile.

We had our baby shower here yesterday and I wanted to write a review asap to say how wonderful it was. The staff were friendly and attentive, Gemma the manager was great in preparation stuff too. The food was amazing and plentiful!! We had the...

Absolutely lovely afternoon tea and brilliant service, made our King’s coronation experience all that much better!.

Where do I start. Rachel and her team baked a birthday cake a few days ago for my son’s birthday. The parents, children and the Fratelli Italian Restaurant we celebrated the birthday were utterly flawed. This cake is a piece of art executed to precision...

A group of 6 of us went to The Kitchen in Croxley for afternoon tea. We didn't have the full blown afternoon tea, which looked fabulous and contained a huge amount of food. Instead, we all had scones, or tea cakes, and some pieces of...

Really lovely afternoon tea at the Kitchen! Attentive and wonderful staff, great quality food! Looking forward to our leftover cake today! Would highly recommended!

Honestly, this place deserves to have people queuing out the door, it’s amazing. Unassuming exterior hides a top class spot - we had afternoon tea but the rest of the menu looked just as good. Proper tea, in a proper pot, yummy sandwiches on bread...

We moved to Norfolk 2 years ago, but when returning to the area to visit friends and relatives, there is only one place we'd go for coffee and cakes. Linda, Rachel and Ann certainly bake the best cakes. A warm welcome, friendly, cosy place, just...

Fabulous food with all the lovely finishing touches, a hand written note to enjoy our tea, scrumptious cakes, chilled Prosecco, beautiful deco and lovely fresh food. Can’t thank the team enough! Would HIGHLY recommend.

LInda kindly catered for Afternoon Tea, although they weren't actually open! The sandwiches were so soft & fresh, the cakes delicious (obviously) & tea & coffee just kept coming 😋 The 2 waitresses were exemplary with their polite, friendly service! Simply an amazing Afternoon, catering...

We were staying at the Premier Inn, so the walk to Croxley Tube Station is a 20 minute walk. I came across '' the Kitchen '' just before crossing the road to the station, and thought wow this looks good so we ventured inside. The...

During the lockdowns my wife and I decided to try lots of takeaway afternoon teas as we were not able to go out for them. The Kitchen Croxley was a bit far for us so I hesitated but I am so glad we finally tried it. For me this was the best of the bunch. The sandwich filings were delicious as were the cakes and best of all, there was a choice for plain scones and they tasted so fresh, soft in the middle and fluffy. I don't know what brand of tea was supplied but it was great and really complemented the scones. Malty, refreshing and aromatic.The only thing I would have liked is bigger sandwiches. I thought they were cut super thin, which was a shame as they were so good!Highly recommend The Kitchen Croxley, will definitely be ordering again.

A real gem, had an amazing afternoon tea with friends which easily rivals other venues I've been to. The room was light and airy and very clean. All the food was really fresh, the sandwiches, cakes and scones were delicious and plentiful -we were given a box to takeaway what we couldn't eat. The service was top notch, the staff were friendly and attentive but did not make us feel we had outstayed our welcome even though we were there a long time!I would highly recommend The Kitchen to everyone.

The spirit shown by Linda and her staff throughlockdowns and her determination to serve the community has been uplifting. Amazing cakes, delicious food always accompanied by a friendly chat , real personal service. Whether it's take away, outside tables or eat in they will make every effort to make your visit memorable.

Amazing cake studio that is also a cafe when not in Lockdown. Has done wonderful things for the community i.e packed lunches for kids, during the pandemic. Fantasic service, thank you.

Just what you want from a local coffee shop cum tea house cum lunch venue. They really go out of their way to provide excellent service and lovely food. Its super civid-safe ... so it will be wonderful to get back to seeing the whole cakes on the counter again, rather than everything having to be individually wrapped. If you haven't been here yet for coffee and cakes, get along! ... its well worth it.

Afternoon tea was really lovely. Food delicious and service couldn’t have been better from friendly staff.

As the cafe has a closed due to the pandemic my daughter collected our afternoon tea from the kitchen and brought it to me.It was excellent very generous choice of sandwiches ( 4x différent choices which probably varies) and 2x lovely fresh scones with jam and clotted cream the cake selection again 4x choices and very generous portions all prepared fresh and delicious I give it 5 stars with no problem. A great treat when we really need it.

Excellent and friendly service. Couldn't do more to be helpful. Good food and v tasty. Lovely cafe with great menu and lots of interesting local produce. Grear find. Thank you.

Comfortable cafe with absolutely lovely staff. Five of us called in for drinks and cakes and a nice surprise to get a free glass of Prosecco each to celebrate Watford winning at football.

Just back from a delicious lunch, fresh sandwiches, home baked cakes, great service and lovely relaxing atmosphere. I love going here , fantastic choice of home baked cakes, gluten free, vegan, naughty but nice, all mouthwateringly scrumptious !

Clean, friendly and a great lunch deal: tea, sandwich or panini, crisps and a cake for under £10. Great value. Fab millionaires shortbread.

We were in London area for the weekend as a Valentine's treat. A google search brought us to this delighful place. Heavy rain, flooding and so many issues as a result. We had had great emails from Linda. We walked in and felt so welcomed, a great tea rooms. Afternoon tea with Teapigs tea bags made a great pot of tea. Nice china cups and plates. Sandwiches excellent, scones, cakes brilliant. We had to have a box to take things away. Lovely conversation with Linda, felt this was how to make people feel good and special.And to crown it all; the sun came out as we finished. Great experience, great food and tea, great place to go.

I organised a surprise 60th Afternoon Tea for my boss and 17 other ladies at The Croxley Kitchen last weekend. The food was lovely and all freshly prepared, the staff were very attentive making sure we had enough tea & coffee, then even allowed me to put photos up on the walls and sprinkles all over the tables. I have only given this review 4 stars because i feel it was expensive given the venue & location.

This lovely little cafe is very close to Croxley metropolitan line station.The food is excellent, the cakes are very highly recommended.All the staff are very friendly and the service is excellent.Don't miss it.

A friend hired The Kitchen Cafe recently for her birthday celebration. The handmade sandwiches, cakes and scones, and the tea and coffee were all spot on. The staff were friendly, polite and helpful. Thank you all for a perfect afternoon. If you haven't visited The Kitchen Cafe yet, you must - it's a gem!

A quiet and restful place to stop for a tea or coffee whilst the kids do their tests.Cood cuppa and nice cakes ! Difficult to find parking nearby

Visited today as had a fancy for a cream tea, our first visit and I did like the feel of a real original type tea room, at first we were disappointed that they had no scones as my tastebuds were all geared up for fresh scones with jam and clotted cream, I was amazed and more than pleasantly surprised that the owner (lovely lady) actually made us YES MADE US freshly baked scones so we sipped our very nice tea whilst waiting for beautiful hot fresh scones, we out a lot but I really can't think of anywhere that has catered for a customer more than this establishment, so absolutely I give top Mark's and will certainly be returning.

We went today and were amazed and the gorgeous cakes and sandwiches, a real treat and such great value. I can honestly say it’s the best afternoon tea I’ve been to and I’ve been to many! Thank you guys for an amazing spread

I visited here today with my mum for afternoon tea. It was beautiful! Staff were lovely and so friendly, it wasn’t busy at all so had the place to ourselves. It’s such good value for money and would definitely be visiting again! Tea was perfect, cakes were delicious and the Prosecco went down a treat.

I needed a special cake for a special friend's 50th birthday and The Kitchen made a beautiful, semi-naked, cake that everyone loved. It not only looked amazing but it tasted beautiful. The shop is so inviting, and tempting, and I will be returning with some friends to spend more time to eat my way through all they have. Friendly staff and wonderfully home-baked delicacies.

Just had the most amazing afternoon tea. The only downfall was we couldn't eat all the fresh sandwiches and delicious cakes! Luckily we were able to bring them home with us. I also had one of the best cappuccinos I have ever had! We were served by a lovely young waiter called Emilio who, couldn't do enough to make sure we enjoyed ourselves! Thank you for a fantastic time. We will be back!

My friend booked this for 4 of us for my birthday afternoon tea, the sandwiches were tasty and the cakes even better. As we were eating the sandwiches they went off saying they will make us more. The scones were warm which is always that excited moment That everyone always comments on. The cakes were very tasty and all had that homemade feel.., I think they were? My son had a nut allergy so he got his own plate. The tea pot was endless unlike some venues where you only have a certain amount of tea or time, we felt very welcome to sit and chat all day and certainly were not rushed. The toilet... don’t think I’ve ever reviewed a toilet, but not only was it clean it offered a range of toiletries and sanitary items like nappies, toothbrushes and feminine products to name a few. How thoughtful!!

Had a great afternoon with family and friends for my two eldest kids birthdays. Linda is very welcoming and the staff are very helpful and friendly. Food was lovely too, especially the salted caramel brownies and scones! Yum!

Spent a very welcoming afternoon here watching the FA Cup final. The owner, Linda, and her family were so friendly. The cafe had been decked out to support Watford FC and there were even cakes decorated to match. However, I was tempted by the chocolate caramel brownie which did not disappoint. Lovely friendly atmosphere and they make a great cuppa too! Thank you.

Good food, friendly attentive staff. Went to watch the cup final, great atmosphere, felt right at home.

I visited The Kitchen today in a group of eight for afternoon tea. It was fantastic, the atmosphere is very welcoming, the staff are lovely and the food was delicious.

Lovely little tea room, friendly team and yummy cake! Lots of choice and very happy to adapt the sandwiches to our choice.

Thank you so much to the team at this lovely little cafe. My son and I visited for an afternoon tea before going to Harry Potter Studios. The food was delicious and staff were so friendly and accommodating. They even made my son a Harry Potter birthday cake with only a few days notice. I'm so pleased we chose to go here.

My daughter was lucky enough to win afternoon tea for 4 as a prize; & what a great prize it was. I would certainly recommend The Kitchen the food was delicious with a good selection of home made cakes & appetising sandwiches, the service was excellent, & the staff were so friendly. In fact my daughter suggested it would be good to come back for a birthday treat instead of a meal at some point. I believe they also serve meals, or if you just want a drink & a slice of cake, there is also a reasonable lunch deal. I would certainly recommend The Kitchen & will spread word around.

Went to check out The Kitchen before buying a giftvoucher for high tea for a friend. Had a coffee and cake and we were not disappointed. Linda clearly takes pride in the service that she and her staff offer. Her made to order cakes look fantastic. Lovely coffee and the flapjack chocolate caramel slice I had was superb. We will be back and needless to ssy we bought the giftvoucher. Thanks

Thank you to Linda and her team for a wonderful afternoon tea in celebration of our friend's mini hen! Linda was beyond helpful, catering for dietary requirements, putting out decorations we had purchased and fitting our booking in at the last minute over the Mother's Day weekend. The cake was fantastic and the value for money was great. There was a great atmosphere throughout our visit and the staff were incredibly helpful. All of us had a great time! :)

Had a scrumptious afternoon tea with my daughter this afternoon. The sandwiches were plenty and the scones and homemade cakes were to die for. The service was above and beyond tea pot filled continuously nothing was too much trouble. The young lad who was our waiter was very polite . Box given for what we couldnt manage to take home. Will definitely re visit very soon a little gem of a place

We have just returned from a mother’s day afternoon tea, me my husband, my mother in law and 3 boys.

Visited the Kitchen today with my friend for her birthday . The afternoon tea was delightful and the choice of cakes and sandwiches was fab . Everything is home made and we washed it down with a glass of Prosecco and earl grey tea. Daisy our waitress was impeccable always checking that everything was ok . A lovely find .. very British little tea.

Excellent service, great good and very reasonable prices. So nice to find a cafe that doesn't smell of frying! Will be back :)

I highly recommend this little hidden gem !!! Fresh ham and mustard sandwich, with an everlasting pot of tea. A packet of Chilli crisps, and a wonderful fresh slice of cake...then a mystery box of cakes to take home... Delicious, what more could one ask for to cheer me up mid-week!

We visited for afternoon tea, I can't remember the occasion but if I was to make a negative comment it would be there was too much lovely food! We couldn't put it all away if we tried, luckily the kind lady who served us realised our plight and offered us a box to take away what we couldn't eat, lovely people, lovely cake, and who doesn't like cake right?

Must thoroughly recommend this hidden gem!

We use the Kitchen for our getting together coffee afternoon. Pleasant venue, Great cakes and coffee, delightful staff. It is so welcoming.

Lovely venue for a casual meet up, business meeting, or just lunch or a cake and coffee! The service is next to none, a real family run vibe! I particularly like the cream tea (yummy)!

We went here on Saturday afternoon for our friend's 35th birthday. There were 5 of us and we were made to feel completely at ease and not rushed at all. The cafe was lovely and quaint and beautifully decorated. The attention to detail is amazing - a card welcoming you and wishing you a good afternoon tea, the toilet had an array of products you may need and we were provided with a large pot of tea while waiting for the rest of our group. Nothing was too much bother and service was lovely. It is really nice to see teenage boys serving in cafes and they were very helpful and polite.

Came in on my own to have a coffee and some cake ( looking for gluten free ) to much delight they do have gluten free cakes amongst many other fabulous cakes !

We booked this venue for my little boy's 1st birthday celebrations and it was the perfect choice! The food was absolutely delicious, the customer service was great - nothing was too much trouble for Linda and her team on the day. I would definitely recommend a visit to this lovely cafe. All our friends and family had a really enjoyable time and we are looking forward to returning soon! Thank you!

Enjoyed a long-awaited afternoon tea (lunchtime) at The Kitchen this week, with a friend, and it lived up to every expectation, from the warm and friendly greeting to the perfection of the tea. Nothing was too much trouble. Finger sandwiches were fresh and delicious (3 varieties), the range of cakes excellent (lemon drizzle, chocolate, Oreo caramel shortbread and red velvet - 1 piece for each of us + 2 each big, warm scones with cream and jam!). We were stuffed!!! We both took doggy bags home! As we were there to enjoy a leisurely meeting (to discuss a craft group we run), we were there for quite a while but were never rushed to leave. Our teapots were regularly refilled and milk replenished. Super! Thank you to all the staff, front and back of house. I'm sure we'll be back...now, I reckon we'll need another 'meeting' soon...

I came in with my partner this weekend for a quick bite to eat at lunchtime. The service was fabulous. I have an allergy to mustard and the staff went above and beyond to ensure my food was completely free from mustard. It is not often that it is taken so seriously as regularly I have to explain mustard comes in forms other than the yellow stuff in a jar!

One of the best afternoon teas I have had , make sure you visit . Great afternoon with great friends

Friendly and welcoming proprietor. Happy to sort out some scones for a cream tea despite near the end of the day. Fresh jam and a lovely presentation; scones delicious. My partner had a sandwich special. Excellent choice and menu. Attention to detail and attentive service; crusts on or off for instance. Cup cakes high quality and delicious, difficult to decide what to have from yummy homemade selection. Pots of tea refreshed and not rushed out the door. Friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Toilets very clean and well stocked (including nappies, toothbrushes and toothpaste etc). Little touches that make this an excellent business. Will be returning soon for an afternoon tea!

Went here with my work colleagues this afternoon as one of them is leaving this week! Such a lovely selection of sandwiches and cakes and the scones were lovely too! Staff very helpful and friendly ! Would definitely recommend ☺️Very filling !!

Just wanted to say how lovely the high tea is at Croxley Kitchen...beautiful and fresh home made sandwiches and cakes...lovely quaint tea shop and the owner was very friendly and excellent service...a real treat

Popped into The Kitchen with tired kids who had been playing in the snow nearby. We got a warm welcome and excellent hot chocolate. After seeing the three local creaft brewera on the menu, I will definitely go back with my wife

My daughter had a kids' baking birthday party on Sunday afternoon. It was very well-organised and a wonderful afternoon overall for the families. While children baked and decorated their cupcakes, the accompanying adults had a good dose of chatter over afternoon tea! What I like about The Kitchen is that it is cosy like 'mum's kitchen'. The cakes and teas and sandwiches feel very homemade. Given advanced notice, Linda and her team will do their best to accommodate your request; I've been there a few times now and enjoyed specially made vegan cakes.

We visited the Kitchen Croxley for my mother’s birthday with members of her immediate family. The cafe has a lovely selection of home made scones and cakes but can also cater for afternoon tea. We were greeted by the very friendly and accommodating owner who made us very welcome.

What a fantastic place. Finally went here today after driving past everyday and so glad I did. Tasty cakes and even better coffee - best coffee in the area! Linda and Ian are absolutely lovely, really welcoming and friendly and have done a great job with the cafe. I will definitely be going back for more delicious treats and coffees!

Linda is great at making cakes and we ordered two cakes for house warming party back in October and they cost us 70 odd pounds and at the time of order, I felt it was a bit expensive. However to my surprise when the cake was ready for collection (We chose collection and they probably are able to deliver cakes if you wish to) We were very impressed with the packaging and the look and feel of the work that had gone into making these two cakes. What pleased me most was the taste and flavor of the cakes. I can honestly say Linda's cakes are probably the best I have ever tasted. They are also made with genuine ingredients and are as healthy as they can be for a cake.

We organised our friend's baby shower at The Kitchen, we wanted something fun where we could have a gossip and some tea and cake! The Kitchen did not disappoint!

Our daughter had her 6th party here along with 19 of her friends.

Lovely place to go. Great cake and ice cream too. Linda and her team are lovely. Lovely selection of local produce too

If you want to lovely slice of cake - this is your place. Linda puts her heart and soul into her baking with a very friendly smile. I had the pleasure of afternoon tea here with a friend the other week and I was really taken aback by the amount of cake and bottomless supplies of tea offered. It was amazing value for money - I came away with a big doggie bag. Linda has also booked a few birthday cakes for me too and again of very high quality and not overly sugary.

Nice coffee, good friendly service. Didn’t get a chance to try cake, but they looked amazing. Very pleasant visit.

We had my daughter’s 7th birthday here and it was lovely! So posh and lovely looking that the kids realised they have to ask for some tea :)))

We came to the kitchen last week and we will be back! The cakes were to die for and they even had vegan options. The coffee was amazing and we will be back for afternoon tea.

A friend brought me a cake from here as a thank you. The cake was the most delicious thing I’ve EVER had! I can’t wait to go over for an afternoon tea!

We went for the first time today. Food and service excellent. The whole set up is fabulous. The staff are very attentive. We will definitely return, and recommend to family and friends. Well done Linda and staff, our afternoon tea was delicious.

This is a family owned and run business. I almost felt like family as the service was very genuine, pleasant and warm which isn't something I think I've ever been able to write in a review before. My cappuccino was lovely, frothy milk and just the right strength and the salted brownie was awesome. Highly recommended.

I booked to have a solo afternoon tea, needing some me time. The Kitchen was lovely and welcoming as an environment and the lovely team added to the warmth and ambiance with their interactions and chat.

We simply LOVE The Kitchen, Croxley. The service is fantastic, the food is absolutely delicious and the beverages are thirst quenching. We went for tea and lunch and we cant wait to go again vvvv soon. Thank you to all once again.

Fifteen of us were booked as a special celebration for one of our number moving to Australia. Booking and dietary needs all done in a friendly, helpful manner and a lovely welcome as we (slowly) gathered. (Parking not the easiest.) Food delicious, service attentive and whole event easy and relaxed. Great value, gluten free items easily available, strongly recommend.

Having heard family rave about The Kitchin after visiting, we made another visit as I was back visiting for a weekend. Have to say, I wasn't let down with the amazing welcome, service, food and staff friendliness which we all received. Accommodated for my wheelchair using family member and my dietary needs. Top quality food and service!

Had a lovely afternoon tea here, very friendly and attentive staff and a great selection of sandwiches and cakes.
