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

Nice selection of meals with non vegetarian, vegetarian and vegan options. I enjoyed the mackerel open sandwich with bettroot and basque cheesecake. There is always plenty of greenery with the lunches. Loved the iced coffee too. A wide range of anges observed there.

Would give a 3.5 if I could, got upgraded to a 4 in the end by the kids. Good points - clean, kids liked the cookie dough desserts Bad points - constant stream of delivery drivers which makes the wait seem longer when you’re dining in. It took too long at night for just 2 desserts, but loads of delivery orders went out instead. Also, no kids portions. £8 for a cookie dough dessert means, for a family, you’ll just share what your kids have (as the portions are too big for them so they’ll be wasted), rather than them having a small portion and you choosing your own.

I see a huffy owner response to a previous review that mentions poor service/attitude but it’s a pretty accurate reflection on how this place operates. The service is abysmal with rude staff who treat paying customers like an inconvenience. Yes yes I’m sure it’s all very nice with your regulars, etc but really you ought to treat all of your customers well. Overall an average, miserable little cafe.

Love coming here to have lunch, the food is great and would happily recommend it :)

Was there for 3 minutes and was asked 3 times by try bouncer when we were going to order drinks. Very uncomfortable vibe had to leave.

Rules for coffee shop customers in 2024 are disappointing. I'm all for promoting conversation, but if we're going to ban small businesses using laptops (who are mostly considerate about spending money, rather than table hogging) are we also going to ban phones and people with their head in books? It wasn't dealt with in a friendly way, and you'd think a small business with plenty of spare tables (ie could benefit from more more business) wouldn't feel the need to be grumpy about having custom. Let's treat each other as adults. The coffee is OK, but Brad & Dill's, Silver Palette and others do friendly service, and support local business owners who work (and who give up their seats if busy). For people who live alone, coffee shop working for an hour or so can be a mental health lifeline. Laptops rules are like old-fashioned dress codes. When you travel to Scandinavia, Baltic states, Spain, Portugal, Asia, you never seem to come across this. But hey, it's your place, you decide. As with pubs, there are plenty of other options.

Please let James and Jess know they habe been an absolutely wonderful behind the bad! They have been exceptionally friendly and solid service all around. Very chatty and thoroughly enjoyed talking to them! Thank you very much! Will definitely be back for more!

Cooked well, but the quality of the meat and food was awful, id expect it for half the price
