The farm's tea shop does the best breakfast I've had in the area…read more I went for poached eggs on toast with a couple of 'Speldhurst' sausages on the side. The breakfast menu is simple but the quality of the core produce is way better than anything I've tasted nearby - to date. I've also experienced a number of poached egg disasters at restaurants recently, but these guys nailed it. Hallelujah for the soft warm yolky loveliness... The service was great too - young and friendly staff who were happy to serve and help. I didn't get to see the lunch menu so can't comment on this, but I was also intrigued to learn that Masterchef finalist Chris Georgiou uses this place for a gourmet burger night which takes place from Wednesday - Saturday called Gastronomical. I'll be giving that a try for sure.

As a tea room-cum-cafe this place is a snap post walking nearby Trent Park. Sourcing ingredients…read morelocally is a plus. My first trip here I choose the vegetarian soup which was broccoli and Stilton while my wife also went veggie soup with their vegetable soup. Both hit the spot. Service was quick and friendly despite being busy. We'll be back! NB - Wednesday to Saturday evening the venue is taken over by Masterchef finalist Chris Georgiou with Gastronomical serving burgers and desserts. We will have to give that a go!!

A hidden, cute cafe, with two tables (2 and 4 seater). We needed wheelchair access and it was…read morereasonably ok (slight incline to get there and some paving where we had to reverse the wheelchair just before entering). A warm welcome, with a yummy choice of hot chocolates, cakes, cold drinks and ice creams. Service was quick and friendly. The carrot cake was moist and super sweet, but so moreish. Banana cake also hit the spot. Yum! I got the feeling that this place could be popular with parents and toddlers when the weather is warm as there was a play area and playground nearby. Off peak this is a lovely quiet spot to grab a cuppa and chat. Tip: By car, parking is available on Manor Close (easy to miss as it could be mistaken for a private driveway). Drive to the end and it opens into a car park with the cafe to the left.

Super cute, hidden away from the busy roads of High Barnet. We popped in here strolling back from…read morethe hospital up the road. They were just about to close when we came in for coffee & cake (sorry guys!) and they were very accommodating. No vegan cake that day, but they did have a gluten free option. I had some fancy kettle chips and checked out the very cute collection of art, knick knacks, lotions, candles etc from small-time craftspeople while the Mr perused the day's papers. If you're in the area and can't bear to sit in a chain coffee shop in The Spires, or if you're just having a walk through the pretty grounds, I would highly recommend having a sit down in here!

A very small cafe. We were a group of 5 and were looking through the window to see if there was…read moreenough space for us. Someone came running outside and brought us in and after shuffling a few tables around we were seated. Tried to order a lasagne and they had unfortunately sold out, so I ended up going for an all day breakfast. Slightly different to a normal greasy spoon. Better quality ingredients but smaller portions. So it all comes down to what you'd prefer. Food took a little longer to cook from what you would expect but at least you know it's cooked fresh as the kitchen is literally behind the counter. (Visit - 11/05/2015 Lunch)

This place is no longer in business. It is now called Sage…read more Called here for lunch mid week and I can only say that it it should be called "cafe slow". Waited nearly an hour to get food which was rubbish considering that we were the only people in there. The guy who I assume to be the owner also needs a little bit of help with the customer interface. However the food, when it eventually arrived, was good but for what the portion sizes was over priced. I guess that's why the place was empty?

As Starbucks goes there is nothing that stands out from the rest. There is plenty of seating ,…read morehowever the sofas that used to be there when it was a different franchise have now gone and they have put more tables with hard seating in. Atmosphere... Well there really isn't much, the staff are friendly however tables were left dirty from previous occupiers so not up to the usual standard you would get in the centre of a town. Coffee was ok to good, however there wasn't much in their chillers with regards to panini's , so I ended up going across the walkway to a subway to get something to eat with my coffee. On a long drive where you need a break, they certainly are a blessing, but it isn't the same as a inner town establishment that has the atmosphere as well.

Rudest, least helpful staff I've ever experienced at a Starbucks. Tempted to contact the manager.read more

Finally an independent coffee specialty cafe in Watford Hooray!!! And bloody great one at that too…read more The cafe is run by a lovely couple who are passionate about coffee and food. The cafe has that beautiful wooden floor finish, both in flooring and seating. They also have stools by the window if you want to watch the world go by. They have quirky lighting and lovely counter where you can see all that delicious food. Their are also framed photographs from the couple's worldly travels. I tried their Latte and I was in Heaven I had to sip that slow. I also had their festive porridge with the currents/sultanas on top, which was delicious. Their banana bread is to die for! Please get it toasted. I've also tried their homemade cake's which was a carrot cake and brownie which was lovely too. I also got to try their juicy, well seasoned sausage roll. They have an in and out pricing on their food it's roughly between £2-£5 but also do deals as well like coffee and bacon roll £3.10 from 8am to 11am. They have a corner where you can pick up flyers/leaflet of local events, and also a independent coffee magazine. The the also provide daily newspaper, and free wifi Its medium in size, so when it is packed, they do encourage you to share tables. The staff are friendly and have great customer service. I love the atmosphere in here, they have a really good playlist and love the fact that it gives a little bit of London in Watford.
