Tiki's in Dacorum

Stopped here for lunch after a recommendation from a lady in a shop. It's was great. Food and coffee was lovely and was a nice chilled atmosphere inside too. Will definitely visit again when I'm in hemel.

A brilliant independent coffee shop situated in the Hemel Hampstead town centre. The food and coffee was fantastic.

Great coffee (like really good!) and good generous slice of fresh tasty cake. I shall be back soon! Friendly welcoming staff too.

My husband Keith and I come here all the time, have done so for many years as they keep proving they are the best in the business. Best service, best coffee, best sausage rolls (locally sourced and soooo good!), best mushroom magic and Best of all... Best hot chocolate! These guys keep smiling and treating us great no matter what this (now fake) “lock down” throws at us. We need business like this and we need them to know how much we appreciate them. Thanks guys and we will see you for takeaway soon!

Cheaper than Starbucks, better coffee than Starbucks and better staff. Foods good too. The best coffee in Hemel.

Really nice cafe in Hemel town centre. We had an enjoyable morning visiting the watergardens (the gardens not the car park) and then lunch in the cafe. Good range of vegetarian and vegan options. We had roasted veg and houmous ciabattas, a bowl of mixed salad and a vegetarian sausage roll. The also serve gluten free and vegan cakes. Service was prompt, friendly and helpful.

My husband and myself have been enjoying the delightful service, food and drinks from Tiki's for many years. We come there to work, catch up on quality time and to chill and people watch. The food is great and the drinks (hot chocolate, coffee and tea) are the best in town and believe me we sampled other places aplenty. So I can only imagine the person leaving the previous review has had an encounter not to his liking; probably shouted down his mobile phone while ordering, who knows. The staff at Tiki's would never be rude and I assume they had to address some inappropriate behaviour and his ego was bent out of shape after this hence this very personal and nasty review. In all the years we've come here they have all been great and provide excellent service, asking us how we are, have a laugh and deliver our tea and coffees (and chai hot chocolate which is the best!) to our table by the window. Tiki's, you're great, unfortunately we all encounter the odd person who needs to be small (talk about shallow...).

Went back for the first time after about 4 years, hoping that it had improved. As usual, the person in charge was very nice and helpful, but the other staff member was as rude and snooty as I remember her being years back. I'm not sure why (when all they are doing is pouring coffee into a cup for Hemel folk on a break from the £9.50 hairdressers next door) the staff here have such a high opinion of themselves and look down their nose at customers. It's been raised by people on here in the past but hasn't changed which is a failing on the proprietor's behalf. Coffee was very overpriced imo, and tasted slightly better than a milky Maxwell House. I won't be going back to Tikis and will make sure in future to use one of the other 2 independent coffee shops in Marlowes, as the coffee and service are equally superior to this wannabe hipster den of shallowness and vacuity!

Lovely food and lovely drinks. Interesting sausage roll flavours which are well above average quality and unlike any other cafe that we've eaten in. Looking forward to returning soon.

Great coffee, the best toasted tea cake in town with really friendly staff and comfortable sofa's and seating. What more could you want from a coffee shop? Well actually, some really great and eclectic music being played. Anybody that does like some decent music played whilst enjoying coffee, food and good conversation this is the place to head to in Hemel Hempstead.

The best coffee ☕, tea 🍵, food 🍲, this is a given, but the best part is the friendly company of the guys who work there! The design was mine! I'm a practising barista lol 😂

Great locally own and service and cakes truly delicious. Great service and food and always very friendly.

Good old Tikis, a little more individual than most of the others in town. Something for everyone including the vegans! Some might say it's a little bit dated, others might call that shabby chic! They do a great brew, I love the pot of loose leaf tea.

This is the best cafe ever. Service is excellent. Good value with a reasonable choice of snacks & brunches. Have been going there every Sunday for about 4 years, with my husband who has dementia, and have been made very welcome. Thanks to all the staff.

My wife and I have been regular customers of Tiki's for over 5 years. We consider it to be the a very special place for following reasons. You will never get a better cup of coffee than what Tikis provide, whether it be a Cappucino, Latte, Americano,or Expresso together with all the other specialised drinks, Smoothies, Teas, Hot chocolate, and slso wide selction of cold drinks. Add to that the fresh home made variety of cakes and panninis, sandwiches, salads and so many more. What really makes it special though is because Amy Michie( the owner) and her staff always make you feel so welcome and nothing is too much trouble to ensure you enjoy the food and drinks that they provide . I t is because of this that if you couldn't chill out and relax whilst in Tiki's you really would have trouble in relaxing anywhere. I could write so much more and will never tire of saying good things about this truly special place. Customers, like my wife and I have over the years become friends not only with other customers but with Amy and her staff also. It really is a special unique place and a joy to visit each and every week.

Outside is a little offputting, but the decor indoors is very welcoming. Staff are friendly. Nice selection of cake

This is my favorite coffee shop in Hemel . The decor is a little worn but not the welcome .Always friendly and always serving good coffe and cake.

Truly lovely coffee shop; every time I've come here the staff have been exceptional. Friendly, they take the time to engage with you, ask you about your day and make you feel welcome. Drinks are nice and their home-made cakes scrumptious. Makes me wish I had reason to come to Hemel more often!

Fantastic Cafe. Lovely Staff that are always helpful and friendly!! My favourite coffee in the whole of Hemel Hempstead

Personal encantador que ofrecen servicio fantástico!

Así que he estado aquí un par de veces bastante recientemente, pero hoy no pude ni allí lo suficiente para conseguir un café para llevar. El lugar huele tan mal, como aceite o algo así. Le transportará a ropa y te hace oler mal. Casi me envió mi factura servicio de tintorería, pero pensamos que mejor de como se tarda algo de tiempo suficiente sólo para conseguir sirve no me puedo imaginar cuanto tardaría para hacer una queja.

He estado en Tiki's un par de veces, la última vez que para una noche abierta que es MIC (altamente recomendado).

Hoy fui y pedí un café con leche. Normalmente tienen un jarabe de azúcar gratis pero últimos visitas que no han tenido ninguna, así que solo pedimos un delgado latte. Fui a poner los endulzantes, había nueve junto a los azúcares. Me pidieron algunos y me dijeron que no tenían ninguna. Como un tipo 2 diabético este me decepcionó. Por suerte me lleve algunos a conmigo, pero seguro que no lo hace un buen servicio en un café. He estado viniendo a este café durante muchos años y este ha sido el único motivo de preocupación acerca de su servicio y establecimiento

Servicio rápido, personal muy perlita, encantador café y bollos, con mucho espacio para sentarse y tienen incluso estar fuera, así que puedes ver el mundo, justo en el medio del centro de la ciudad de hemel hempstead frente primera entrada al centro comercial marlows

Así que estoy al gluten. Habíamos tenido una mala experiencia aquí decidí dar el lugar una segunda oportunidad. Honestamente puedo decir que ojalá no hubiese sido así!

An independent haven amongst a thousand boring and overpriced chains. Tikis always has a friendly feel, with great staff who will go out of their way to individualise your order. Having been here a number of times I can honestly say I'd rather go here than anywhere else. They serve a great array of speciality teas, coffees and iced drinks and the most amazing homemade cakes ever!!

If we go for coffee in Hemel we usually go to Costa or Cafe Nero however thought we'd try Tikis for a change. I really wish we hadn't. The first thing I noticed when we walked in was how empty it was, followed by the bad smell. It was a bank holiday & the other coffee shops/cafes we'd passed were busy so in hindsight this should have been an indication of what to expect. I don't know if they sell fried food in Tikis but this is all you can smell when you walk in, smells like stale chip fat & it lingered on our clothes when we left which wasn't pleasant. The service we received was shocking, the girls behind the counter looked like they'd rather have been anywhere else & treated us like an inconvenience. We ordered two deluxe hot chocolates which you pay extra for as they come with cream & a flake. They were presented without a flake & when I mentioned it the girl pretty much rolled her eyes & told me they'd run out. This really annoyed me because if I hadn't have asked she wouldn't have bothered to say anything. If she'd have just apologised & said they'd run out, I wouldn't have minded - these things happen. However as she tried to hide the fact so I queried that we'd paid extra for it, at which point she pretty much threw 25p at me & said "yeah well, you pay for the cream as well, it's like 25p" - I walked away at this point because I didn't want to lose my temper. After we'd sat down I realised the 'hazelnut' hot chocolate I'd bought was actually plain, another extra we'd paid for but not received. The whole experience was totally disappointing & a waste of money. I've defiantly learned a lesson about straying away from decent high street chains, it's not even any cheaper. I'm sorry Costa, I'll never leave you again!

We visited with family recently. There is an odd smell about the place and it isn't the aroma of freshly ground coffee. Place also looks shabby, decoration is in desperate need of a refresh and the sofas are ready for the tip. Generally dirty and grimy and the service leaves a lot to be desired. Some new seating, a lick of paint would be welcome. I also had a slice of banana cake which was incredibly dry and tasteless, if the staff looked remotely interested I would have complained, instead I have learnt a lesson never to return. At best it's smelly and tatty, stick to the larger chains such as costa/Starbucks in the future.

Go here regularly. Staff are lovely and always very accommodating. Coffee is great and the offer food allergy alternatives. All the milk alternatives you could imagine! lovely cakes and everyone is welcome

I visited with a friend who loves the venue for a coffee and a catch up.The service was great, prices reasonable, drinks good but the toilet is vile... It needs a nice new re-vamp and a deep clean!

Popped in for late lunch, I ordered a chicken sandwich and fries and it was made to order for me and it was quick too. It was not expensive and staff friendly. Food tasted good too, so I was very happy. Keep up the good work.

buen café, hot chocolate y cakes. Leche de todo tipo para las personas que tienen intolerancia. para mi el mejor el chocolte de avellana. espectacular. servicio rápido y y bien de precio.

Really nice atmosphere, very friendly staff, great coffee and yummy selection of paninis, sandwiches and cakes. Only "negative" is that they can be quite slow even when it's not busy.

This is an independent cafe serving really good coffee and cakes home made by the proprietor's mum. I visit this cafe regularly, virtually every time I'm in town, so I am known to the staff. I've always found them all really friendly. There's a quiet room on the 1st floor if you want to think deep thoughts, downstairs does get busy and noisy especially on Saturdays. On the downside the croissants are sometimes overbaked, not sure if this is a supplier issue or if they are baked in-house. The furniture is getting a bit tired and could do with a refresh, but nonetheless a much better bet than the chain coffee shops of which there are several

Food, service, atmosphere brilliant. WCs really need a good clean though and it is worrying that staff think standard of cleanliness is ok.

I had an iced pineapple tea after a shopping trip to Hemel. I was pleased to find that they now have the scheme where you can contribute a donation to cover the cost of a cup of coffee for somebody who is more needy. Lovely friendly staff and certainly a place to visit more often.

I absolutely love going to Tiki's, for the coffee and the friendly staff team. They take their lunch breaks in the store, and even though it's their break they are always happy to assist. I'm really grateful for the upstairs area where children aren't allowed to go, it makes a nice quiet space for when I need to study or just relax. Amy has gone above and beyond for providing Vegan options, offering both soy and almond milk. They also stock vegan cake and some of the dark chocolate products for sale are also vegan. Staff are quite happy to let me read ingredients lists, or create me special orders with what is available. Lovely tea!Tiki's also offer a suspended coffee that customers can purchase, which can be offered to someone in need of a warm drink.

I've been in Tiki many times now, they take pride in their product, travelling to find the best beans for their coffee. Everytime you get such a warm welcome atmosphere, the staff truly are their to help and will do with a smile. It's not just a coffee shop, it's a place to talk. The owner (who works on the shop floor serving) will always listen to you, go above and beyond to help and remembers the customers. There is a help the homeless scheme where you can purchase 2 coffees rather than one and they will give a person needing a warm drink one if they ask. Truly one of the beast, most thoughtful coffee shops about.

Lovely coffee, most staff very nice and helpful, of a little slow (I guarantee that one of them is sat down eating whenever you walk in there!). Unfortunately it has very quickly stopped being a nice place to go for two main reasons.Firstly, it is sometimes hard to remember it's a coffee shop and not a creche. Customers coming for a break in their day normally have to deal with a chorus of screaming, ignored children which makes it difficult to relax. We used to get around this by sitting outside but now the majority of that area has been taken over by a large group of people who seemingly use the seating area as a day long hangout, a place for them to sit and argue loudly with each other from 10am until about 2pmWould be a lovely coffee shop if they ever remember that that's what they are. Not a pub or playschool

Amy the manager runs a tight ship in this cosy quirky coffee shop, Staff are committed and part of the family so they give better service than other coffee shops. Josh is a treasure and all the staff are friendly and outgoing.They really take their coffee seriously here and the brews are the best, No shop in London can match them,There are a lot of local farm products and again these are superior to other coffee chains. The cakes and sandwiches are always fresh well made and tasty,There a spot for just about everyone. Adults can go upstairs to the chill zone. The back of the shop is the kids/family zone and the downstairs front tends to be inhabited by trendy student typesI find it a real home from home and a great place to relax

Hemel Hempstead is a Town which has pulled itself up by the bootstraps in recent years...and it seems to be working! It's tatty old market has been moved into the middle of a brutalist 60's precinct and now both- amazingly- are thriving! Places like Tiki's make it a pleasure to visit, since the atmosphere is chilled, relaxed and the staff always seem very happy to chat and take time out with their customers. The service isn't exactly zippy- but if you want that then go to Starbuck's. Simples!

Had the bacon, brie, onion and cranberry sauce panini - Absolutely delicious! Service is quite slow but they always have a smile in their face. Very relaxed coffee shop too.

Being a kiwis overseas we really missed our coffee but stepping into Tiki's was like being teleported. This is a place to chill out and take your time. There is no rush to chug your coffee and go, the coffee is amazing as well as the atmosphere!Thanks Tiki's! We miss you over here!

Good coffee and range of Teapig and other teas. Good home made cakes and some high quality ice creams.

Sunday afternoon as a group of 18. Well accommodated over several tables upstairs. Good coffee and delicious cakes. I can recommend the peanut stack - like a Snickers on a chocolate cake.

First visit to Tiki's on a chilly afternoon as a break from the shops.Excellent lattes and hot chocolate and delicious cakes. Sofas may look a little shabby but they are so comfortable. Loved the decor and the music too. Didn't want to get up to leave!

As a regular visitor I do enjoy the hot chocolates & snacks. The savoury food has a slightly limited choice but the service is so slow even when the place is not busy.

A regular coffee stop. Great coffee and homemade cakes etc. Will be nice when the new furniture arrives (if it hasn't already) as that is the only thing that lets it down.

Large selection of drinks and I like to sit outside and watch the world go by. It's on a busy pedestrianised shopping street.

A brilliant coffee bar, nice food, nice staff & nice prices.Its a great place for people watching and resting tired shop weary feet.

I enjoy coming to Tiki's for one of their delicious iced frappes. The tuna and cheddar Panini's are nice too, and the atmosphere is good. There's not many places where you can sit, have a cigarette and a coffee and not be hassled - but here you can! Really nice little coffee shop, rate it.

I actually would prefer to rate Tiki's with a 4 or 5 stars but....All the chairs are really, really worn and shabby. The worn look can be nice in some places but here it just looks really well, shabby and definitely not chic.Toilets are not very clean either but this appears to be a real issue in most of England.

Tikís coffee is best place for coffee lovers in the centre of HH. Lovely staff, great coffee and really cool place especially upper sitting area.

Cannot figure out what the Hu Ha was about this place,As soon as we walked in there was this funny Pungent smell which did not leave us until we had left,Still cannot figure out weather it was the place or maybe a customer that didnt bath for a month but place still need modernising.

Some of the furniture needs replacing rather desperately It doesn't look hipster it just feels dirty Batista is great Good service Fab coffees Lovely vibe - amazing for the town it's in! Great also that the food is covered

I come fairly regularly to Tiki's and the environement inside is always very relaxed and friendly. The seats inside are very comfortable and the décor is relaxing. The staff are quick to serve you, prepare food and drink to a high standard and seem to be very happy working there.

Being Kiwis on a stopover in Hemel Hempstead we went on the internet and searched on Flat White and up popped a cafe just round the corner from where we were staying in the Marlowes shopping area. We went down to try it out and were absolutely blown away by the place. It would be right at home and packed to the rafters in any NZ town or city. It has great coffee and cakes (including rocky road cup cakes) and a shabby chic feel which is just perfect. Any Australians or Kiwis should in the area that havent been here should straight on down

It is great to see a small coffee shop stand up and even above the chain stores that are around it. Nero, Costa and Starbucks are not far away but I choose Tiki's any day. Why? Because it has a charm that the cookie cutter chain stores lack. I do not want to be asked a hundred questions when I order a coffee, I do not want to be corrected if I ask for small and in your shop that means something else, I do not want to stand around at the end of a counter waiting for my order looking around worried if I am going to be able to get a seat, I do not need my name on cup...Lovely staff, very welcoming atmosphere, that is what I want and I can forgive a few hiccups along the way. The food selection at Tiki is classic and a little limited, bacon butty is a favourite and the vegetarian alternatives are rather tasty (brie and cranberry and avocado salad). There is a play area at the back for children and a quiet coffee area upstairs. The music is inoffensive indie pop/rock. Today I had an avocado salad sandwich and a jaffa cake shake - lovely chocolatey goodness, no need for desert, although I think I will be back for some of the cakes later in the week. Tables are generally cleared quickly, although a few crumbs were left on ours which was the hiccup for me. Make sure you check out the little bars of chocolates they sell- they make great gifts and I have had numerous comments about how cute they look.

Tiki's in Hemel Hempstead is by far the best of the many coffee shops in Hemel. The atmosphere is relaxing and calming, the staff are absolutely brilliant, always friendly and happy, ready to go that little further to help you out. There is ample seating available over two floors and also outside. The coffee selection is superb, and thee is also a good selection of tasty treats at favourable prices, all of great quality. I would recommend Tiki's to anyone, and also would like to highlight their "paid in advance" coffee scheme, which allows you to pay ahead for a coffee for someone in need, i.e, those on low income or homeless....more places should operate this kind of scheme.I cannot emphasise enough how friendly all the staff are here, after a few visits I don't even have to place my order, they know it off by heart....An excellent place to sit, relax and just pass the time with a truly excellent cup of coffee. Well done all the staff .

This is a popular café and it's always full. There is inside and outside seating. The coffee is good and the cakes delicious. My absolute favourite is the peanut butter stack which must be a zillion calories but is so delicious.The décor is a little tired and some of the chairs and tables could do with thorough cleaning and maybe renewing, but they do offer newspapers to read, which is always a bonus.

Reall good value for money and a wide choice of coffee and hot chocolates. Really good service too, family run business.

As a mum with 2 toddlers Tiki's is the place to go for a coffee and yummy cake and your children can play! Yes, Tiki's has a little play corner with donated toys where children can happily play along whilst mum has a hot drink and a snack. The staff is wonderfully helpful and friendly and do not mind the noise children make when happily playing along. For customers who can't stand children's noises - don't fear- there is a "children free zone" upstairs in the Brew Room. Beautifully decorated with its own coffee bar! Tiki's is the pace to chill out.

A lovely, relaxed environment to have a great cup of coffee made by beautiful and friendly baristas at a reasonable price - what's not to love?!! Add to that - amazing cakes, some gluten free options and some ice cream that looks amazing but I've not had the luxury of trying yet and we're onto a winner. Looking forward to trying the new upstairs bit.

Another great experience at Tikis, consistently good, great coffee and snacks.I had the peanut stack with my Americano - See photo

I was asked to meet somebody here - normally it wouldn't have been my choice of place as the outside lets it down and it looks quite shabby. However, what a lovely surprise awaits the customer inside! Lots of handmade items to purchase and although I went when there were quite a few children, there is the new Brew Room upstairs which is children free for those wishing for a quieter life. Excellent coffee too. My only complaint is the staff on their mobile phones whilst i was waiting to be served. No doubt looking at the reviews on tripadvisor!! However, this didn't detract from my enjoyment of the place as the staff were friendly when serving. Would certainly go again.

Today we visited Tiki's - I remember it as Tiki Cafe. Still as good as ever, the only place we go for coffee when in Hemel (which is not very frequent) . The cakes are great and the toasties too. The staff are really helpful and polite. I was impressed with the service given to an older lady where a member of staff offered to carry the lady's coffee to the table for her. Just those kind touches make all the difference. Well done Tiki's :)

Love this place, friendly staff great service. Always pop in when I am in town. The peanut butter mocha is soooo good!

Every time we visit from New Zealand a trip to Hemel Hempstead for a coffee at Tiki's is a must. This is the best cafe we have come across in the UK, it's not hard to beat most of them but this place is outstanding. The staff are friendly and accommodating, the food (peanut butter stack especially) very nice but it's the espresso coffees (large weak lattes) that stand out, they are consistently top class - well done guys, we hope to see you again soon.

We have been here a few times now and enjoyed the coffee and cake. The tables can be a little messy (uncleared), but that isn't really a problem and we have always found somewhere to settle.

Nice coffee, although I do prefer the cortado we get in costa coffee. However, everything else is nice about this coffee shop. You can sit outside and watch the people go by.

Visit often when wondering around Hemel and it easily ranks above Costa, Starbucks and the rest.Tiki's offers great a range of drinks, cakes and sandwiches and we're always greeted with great staff who provide a good quick service. The interior is nice with plenty of seating spaced out and also seating outside. The standard of the drinks and food is what separates it from the chain coffee shops, it's just got that extra something.

They do one of the best Hazelnut Latte's ever! The staff are incredibly friendly and polite, always helpful and quickly develop a rapport with the regulars - well, with everyone! Newbies and regulars are always greeted with a nice smile and attentive service. I infrequently indulge in their chocolate brownies - home-made and the right consistency between bite and melt in your mouth decadence - my husband can't get enough of their home-made lemon cakes! In the colder months I get said latte but when the weather's warm(er) I split my order evenly between their freshly home-made vanilla milkshakes (real vanilla pods!), my husband has their strawberry milkshake (real strawberries!) or sometimes we'll have a large Very Berry Smoothie - made with plenty of real fruit and ice - absolutely delicious. There is inside and outside seating but at busy periods seating is at a premium and you will find there are plenty of people enjoying the relaxing ambience Tiki's offers. It's family, push-chair and child friendly. They are popular so sometimes you may need to ask for your table to be cleared but this is always done promptly and with an apology if you have needed to ask. They serve panini's, baguettes and sandwiches but I've never eaten anything other than the brownies.My only negative - which is purely a personal opinion - is that I am never able to enjoy the outside seating as it's (obviously) populated largely by smokers, I'm a non-smoker asthmatic so I find it utterly miserable to sit outside in the summer. That is literally the only negative I have.They have free wi-fi, a loyalty card scheme (buy coffee, get stamps then get your tenth coffee free) and always go out of their way to give you a wonderful experience - even bringing my coffee out to me when I had to go and comfort my ten month old puppy who, despite me being in the shop literally two minutes to order my takeaway coffee and the many people who were only too happy to stop and say hi to the dog, had decided to scream and howl. Best of all - they are independent!

Excellent place for chai Latte and cake . Friendly happy staff . Service is quick and efficient. Very comfortable seating . Atmosphere is a cut above the rest IMO due to the staffs ability to keep it so . Well done

Tiki's is never a let down. We have been coming here for a long time now with all the family.Tiki's is a great place for us all to meet & enjoy a lovely cup of coffee and slice of home made cake! We are always welcomed with open arms and never miss popping in for a coffee whenever we are in town. I would recommend Tiki's to all ages, young to old.Well worth a visit :)

I go here all the time as it is a good price, the coffee is good, there's a huge selection and you're treated like a person rather than just another customer. Also, the loyalty card system is good.The only downside is that there sometimes aren't enough seats or the cafe is partially dominated by parents with very enthusiastic/loud children (don't get me wrong, children are great and parents have to go somewhere for coffee but sometimes I want a peaceful lunch break).

Lovely atmosphere, fantastic choice of drinks, panini's and cakes(all of which are delicious). I discovered Tiki Café whilst with a group of friends, we would extend our meeting after going to the breastfeeding café. They are very welcoming to families (breastfeeding friendly) and it has become the café of choice for our entire family which is lovely because we often bump into them unexpectedly whilst taking a break from shopping.

Coffee tastes better than costa and Starbucks, is reasonably priced they have a far better selection of teas and food......it's. no brainier really, simple as that.They offer a loyalty scheme to gain a free drink , my only criticism would be that they are slow to clear tables at times.......

Lovely little cafe with a child friendly section of toys at the back, also breastfeeding friendly. Will definitely return!

The inside is comfortable, however they could use some more staff to make things flow a little quicker. Also the outside needs some cleaning on a more regular basis.

Lovely, interesting homemade food including quiches and cakes with the added bonus of free WiFi, very comfy environment, and kid friendly seating area. Our cafe of choice in Hemel.
