Thompsons Close Cafe in St Albans

Harpenden has no shortage of ahem coffee shops. But coffee here is head and shoulders above the rest. This haven tucked just off the High Street is where I go, particularly if I’ve been travelling; to rest my gyros and remind me what good coffee tastes like. Always a warm welcome from Damien and his crew. Highly recommend this place!

Great place for coffee and more, staff ALWAYS friendly. Best place in Harpenden for a coffee, both my father and I love it here.

The best coffee in town & sausage rolls to die for… Very reasonably priced & friendly helpful staff Extremely happy customer..

This cafe is perfect for a meal or just a coffee and a snack. I had Egg Mayo and Smoked Salmon on a warm baguette to order. It was delicious! Highly recommended.

On our regular visits to Harpenden we always head to this hidden gem, always a lovely welcome, lovely freshly prepared food and great coffee, recommended.

Lovely cafe with great food and excellent service - it was even warm enough for us to sit outside. My daughter had the scrambled eggs and salmon which she said was amazing whilst I had a hearty full English which I couldn't fault.

first time we had been there and will definitely be going back when we're in Harpenden. Gets all the basics, food, price, hospitality so right....loved the scrambled eggs (done with a touch of butter and salt) which were marvellous with smoked salmon.

Thompsons Close Cafe just of the high st in Harpenden. Outdoor and indoor seating. service prompt and friendly . Hot drinks fine, and the cheese toasties and tuna sandwich were very good indeed both with a nice side salad. Would def return.

Best toastie ever! Lovely cheese and tomato. My friends sandwich great as well. Lovely friendly staff as always. very impressed- well done

We were in HarPenden for a sports event and went for breakfast en route. Popped in this fantastic cafe and had a latte and bacon baguette. Both were delicious and service friendly and efficient. Top marks for this independent trader. Definitely visit again.
