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

Nice people...... great location, my wife loves the coffee... and it is open later that all the other cafes in Harpenden. Its why we really go there.... However, the place is always in an absolute mess, we have been in 12-15 times in the last few months. We always have to clear the table and then ask if we can clean it. They just pass me a cloth ha ha ha... unreal ! As I said the staff are nice, however, are always chatting with clients rather than working, and cleaning up. The cake containers are also really really dirty, the cafe floor and bathroom is always very dirty. As I said, nice people, however the cafe is a mess...... such a shame.

Cafe is shabby unwelcoming, waiting time in the queue 20 mins staff run off their feet and not organised, managers hiding in the rest room oblivious of what is going on, the snacks are a mess thrown everywhere having to rummage through for a biscuit, biscuits in the jar broken, cakes looking past sell by date. On the plus side the coffee was good but not worth the wait. Never to return or recommend.

Thank you for sponsoring event in Maple school on Friday. Thank you from our parents and kids. Food was delicious as always.

Great as always, great staff great coffee and good value for money. Skinny latte and frapuchino fir my daughters, both very much enjoyed.

Unplanned visit so I didn’t read any reviews before I went in gladly! This morning I’ve had the best coffee I’ve had in quite a while. Perfectly made flat white. I like the coffee beans they’re using and it was made so well - a genuine flat white which is hard to fine. Decor not to my taste and they need to keep on top of cleaning the facilities a bit better (passable but could be better) but next time I’m in St Albans I’ll definitely go back for another coffee. Staff friendly and welcoming.

i visited 3-4 times during my 2 weeks stay in London because i really love the mocha with marshmallow. wished i have visited couple more times.

Cheesecake to die for! Hubby and daughter very happy with their Sundae and waffle. We were told delivery between 8:20 and 8:45 it arrived at 8:10 😊

Visitamos el Gallery Café (en la base) para Trestle café y croissant, sábado por la mañana las Artes Base sólo está abierta el sábado durante el semestre escolar. Como clases de ballet estaban teniendo lugar el café estaba bastante concurrida. Había una exposición de artes, como parte de la Open estudios; el Herts artista, Audrey Woodhead, debería haber estado presente, pero no la vi. Base de Artes Trestle es conocido por sus máscaras teatrales y muchos de estos se muestra alrededor del edificio. El café era normal, el croissant era agradable. Wi-fi disponible; el personal era amable. En la esquina del café es una cesta con juguetes infantiles y libros. Cuidado: el horario es diferente durante las vacaciones escolares

Visited Pausa in Wolverhampton Dunelm for lunch waited 25mins to be served ! No soup, no jacket spuds !! No system you have one person serving drinks so other staff can serve. When my husband asked why he was told to get out !! He is diabetic and had his injection so he needed to eat. He told them he wasn’t complaining he just wanted some answers. If you are going to offer cafe facilities please ensure they are run efficiently. If you don’t have the items take them off the menu. I am sorry to write this but all the customers were complaining I shop at Dunelm regularly it is a great shop, but sorry will not use cafe again. Mrs Tame

The cafe in the old courthouse used to be fantastic. It’s not as good since they changed the hours and introduced a ridiculous rule. They close at 4 but from 3 you can only get take away drinks. They do a great pot of tea but you can’t have that after 3pm. Used to be regulars here for tea and a scone. Now we have to go elsewhere because they want to do all the clearing up before they close. Ridiculous. If you do want to do that then open later in the morning and close later in the afternoon. Very disappointing. Also please change the soup. It’s watery and sour. And get on top of your ordering. Arrived today before 2 for soup and a cheese scone and plenty of soup but only one cheese scone. And a smile from the staff would be welcome. The gentleman behind the counter can’t be more helpful but the other staff almost treat you as if it’s an imposition to want to order anything. Used to give this 5 stars. Now only 2.

I visited Crussh café at Westminster Lodge Leisure Center when the center was only partially open due to covid restrictions. Inside the café was clean with plenty of sofas and coffee tables, as well as normal tables and chairs; outside there is an extensive veranda with views over the park. As the leisure center was only partially open the café was not busy; my cappuccino was expertly made (nice consistently and correct temperature). As Crussh aims to serve healthy food and drink, my favorite snacks were not available (kit-kat or blue ribbon biscuit) and a lot of snacks available were high protein, but there were bags of popcorn!

I get sandwiches and coffee here every week and I’m frequently amazed at how rude some of the staff are. Even when I am super polite the lack of basic customer service is notable. That said, there is at least one nice staff member and I am always relieved when she is on duty.
