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

We dropped in for afternoon tea. Fabulous friendly hospitality, delicious cake and the best hot chocolate in the world according to my son!

As ever the Thompsons Close cafe team have looked after us with their friendliness and warm and kind atmosphere. An oasis of peace in a busy world.

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.

Lovely place to have coffee and cake and friendly staff 😊

Was choking on meal and just watched would not go again.

We opted for here last minute on Valentine’s Day for a late lunch . Went for the special of chateaubriand which was good . Buzzy atmosphere and good staff engagement . Thanks to Emma, Michael, Jada and Valon fir a lovely afternoon

Such a fine selection of ales and more modern style beers, a joy to see and enjoy.

New to the area, spoke with Donna the Manager and she is lovely and polite, the service was fast and the locals are friendly… will be popping in again. Thank you

Nice place to come for a quick bite to eat or a coffee. The prices were reasonable too.
