The Piano in Uttlesford

We would highly recommend this little cafe/bistro in ther heart of Saffron Walden. It has friendly, welcoming staff with a varied menu supplying a good food of food at very good prices. It is very nicely decorated and the music is a bonus. We are not local, but we will definately call again whenever we are in the area.

Such a lovely atmosphere - the perfect place for an impromptu lunch during the day or drinks and sharing boards with friends in the evening. The wines come from a local merchant - great to see independent businesses supporting each other. The owner is so welcoming and accommodating. And of course, there’s the piano - look out for events with local pianists/singers (or, alternatively, when your friend’s boyfriend turns up to play chauffeur, get him to play the piano first!).

Sitting with a coffee and cake in The Piano is like sitting with a coffee and cake in a good friend's home. It's very relaxed, but at the same time very professional. There is a piano on the ground floor and customers are welcome to play it.

What a lovely atmosphere, the young lad playing the piano was a delight and the coffee was also great. Great value for money and friendly staff 😊

Fabulous selection of quality wines and mini prosecco. Upstairs fab for a small family gathering. Fresh cakes, nibbles and sandwiches. Always beautifully presented

This was my first visit to The Piano, which is tucked away behind George Street. It was a Saturday afternoon and the cafe was very busy. It is set over two floors so although the ground floor was full there was plenty of room upstairs. The staff were fast, efficient and attentive. I chose a latte and carrot cake and my partner a lemonade and chocolate fudge cake. The home made cakes were of generous portion size and very good. The coffee was excellent as was the lemonade. The prices were very reasonable and I would recommend a visit.

The new owners have carried on where Adiele left off. Excellent range of cake and good fresh coffee. They have added a Guinness pump, which was great on a hot day. Always a pleasant experience.

As previously mentioned the place is now under management. Firstly, there is now a very good range of cake’s including a very nice latte cake. The staff are very friendly. I think there were more staff than customers. I hope the new owners will continue to improve this place. It’s definitely gone up in excitations.

Piano is under new management and is a lovely, relaxing experience. Lunches are always excellent, the coffee is great and Kerri and her staff are attentive and friendly. We actually went twice today. Once for coffee and cake, then returned for a delicious Ploughman's lunch. I can't recommend Piano highly enough!
