The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in St Albans East of England

We had the loveliest afternoon tea here today.My husband is a coeliac..l asked in advance if we could have ALL G Free sandwiches as I’m not a big bread eater..husband can eat mine..but l wanted “ ordinary “ sweet goodies..no trouble…it has defeated many restaurants In the past. I really enjoyed the cakes..real home made sponges etc…the scone..to die for. They also do weddings..wakes..plus walk in food. The owner & her assistant were really nice..we felt very relaxed. Thank you very much x

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!

Frequently visited. Excellent coffee and bacon rolls. Recently taken to their milk shakes. More seating added a few months ago. Greenwood Park is very popular with dog owners. Saturday morning can be very busy if wanting to park.

29/9/2023 Absolutely brilliant food, selection, freshness and the staff are wonderful . We have been before and this is one of the best places to eat healthy and tasty in St Albans. Their recent introduction of schnitzels is a great idea; one of the best I have ever had….fresh, tasty and crispy.

We found this coffee shop thanks to the sign in the alley way . We came in through the side gate to a lovely garden space. Then headed inside where there are a couple of tables tucked away. We ordered 4 drinks and sweet and savory baked goods from what was available on display. The savoury scone was delicious and the peanut butter cookie cup was amazing. Great for a catch up over coffee.

This lovely reading room cafe was host to a Burns Night Poetry event which was my first time in this quaint little space. It was so inviting. Anna was there to greet customers and make them feel like being welcomed into a friend's home for coffee. There were all the hot drinks on offer and flavoured brownies too. The poetry readings were beautiful in this small space; everyone felt welcomed and comfortable reading and sharing their works for an hour together here. I will definitely return to a future event or just pop in while I'm in St. Albans. It's a hidden gem in the heart of town; great for working, writing, reading, playing a game of chess or catching up with friends over a hot cup of tea. Definitely not to be missed!

Get coffee here 3-5 times a week. Superb product and great service. A wonderful local business.

Proper farm café and good to back farmers in any way possible. Lovely atmosphere and staff, especially good coffee on a rainy day

Our party of nine walkers enjoyed a great lunch,Sandwiches came with a lovely salad.The staff were vey welcoming with great service, We can see why this pub is rated number one.

Very good meal. Really enjoyable and food served hot. Super staff….. Shame about two female customers , aged around 70. Very loud - unbelievably - and one took a video call from her daughter and grandson, who were on holiday. She then had a VERY loud conversation in which the whole restaurant could hear. Do these people not realise we really don’t care about their lives or are interested in them . We don’t force them to listen to our conversations. Very rude and no self awareness.

Great pub. I've used it in many different guises over 20 years. But literally the worst pint of Guinness around. Amateur hour. To rushed.

I chose The Overdraught to meet a friend for lunch because of the close proximity to where I was staying, and what a great choice it turned out to be. Because of traffic chaos, my friend was a bit late arriving, so I had a coffee. It was beautifully presented in a double glass coffee mug, and had a little jug of heated milk. When it was time to order, we both chose the Beer Battered Fish with chips and tartare sauce. The batter was something to behold, so crisp and crunchy, and it was the best fish I have had for many years. The chips were cooked perfectly, and the home made tartare sauce was perfection. I noticed some of the meals other patrons had ordered, and they too looked and smelled delicious. What a great find. I shall return.

Such a lovely cafe to visit in an ideal setting. Great choices and the smoothies are amazing!

Enjoyed it. They have a tent outside which protects from rain.

Perfect pub food and lovely cosy atmosphere with real fire. Vegetarian moussaka was so tasty. Great value and excellent quality food. Thank you
