Snack cafe in Watford

“Cafe run by charity Mencap - fantastic initiative to give people with learning disabilities the chance to learn skills in catering, customer services and hospitality. I have never eaten there but just had a quick coffee / kids snacks - it doesn't feel that warm and cosy to me, so I've never been tempted to linger too long. My suggestion would be to remove the PCs and introduce some sofas and perhaps some toys or games. Not sure how feasible that would be!”

“I always enjoy my coffee here. The coffee is excellent, the staff are amazing, and Georgie is a lovely person with a positive attitude who creates beautiful coffee art.”

“Everyone enjoyed their food, the matcha was really good, the music really good and the actually inside of the cafe is gorgeous. All the servers were really nice & accommodating (especially Lisa! she took great photos for us) even though we had a big group. Overall had a great time and would definitely come back!”

“Great Cafe. When I'm in the area I always pop into this cafe for food! The food is SO tasty! And they have yet to get any order or request wrong! Which I'm really surprised about as my partner can make finicky requests. The people there are so friendly and helpful. Service is fast and portions are large. Great place to go eat! Enjoy!”

“I had a really good experience at Watford Chaiiwala. The customer service was excellent, and the staff were very friendly, polite, and welcoming from the moment I walked in. The shop was very clean, tidy, and well organised, which made it a comfortable place to sit and enjoy my drink. Everything felt fresh and hygienic. I would definitely visit again and recommend Watford Chaiiwala to others.”

“Lovely little cafe. Lovely staff, good food, good portions and reasonably priced. There is plenty to choose from.”

“Amazing little breakfast place lovely customer service and amazing fresh food would highly recommend if your in the area Would definitely be visiting here again”

“The staff are super friendly and helpful. I gave it a 4 in the atmosphere as it's a cafe but a very good one at that. You get value for your money”

“My son and his friends had an amazing time celebrating his birthday at the café! They loved the great food, unlimited squash, and getting to choose their own ice lollies. The party was held right inside the skatepark, which meant endless fun for the kids, while parents could relax and have a chat over nicely chilled drinks. A huge thank you to Ryan and the entire team — they were incredibly friendly, organised, and attentive throughout. From the moment we arrived to the very end, everything was taken care of with a smile. The staff made sure the kids felt welcome and excited, and nothing was too much trouble. It was a stress-free experience for us and such a fun-filled day for the children. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a brilliant kids' party venue with top-notch service!”

“My partner and I recently held our engagement party at the 143 Bar. I would absolutely recommend renting the bar out, it was a brilliant space for our friends and family. Thank you Martin and the team for a fab night!”

“I ordered a pepperoni pizza and another margarita pizza the food was fresh and it was extremely tasty the man that was working there was very polite and kind I was £1.50 short and he said it ok i would definitely recommend this coffee shop to other people.”

“Plenty of open space and wooded areas to explore, with the well appointed hub for all your other needs(cafe, toilets), and a great play park for the kiddies. Miniature railway and a small farm nearby, can't recommend enough. We went for this year's fireworks display and it didn't disappoint. Well worth a family visit.”

“Very friendly staff, good choice of items,will use again”

“I've been coming to this cafe with my family for at least 10 years. It's highly accessible via lifts for anyone with wheelchairs or pushchairs, I've never had an issue getting a table and the staff are friendly. After so many years coming they know us by sight! The food is simple, with lots of filling options for sandwiches/baguettes or other choices. Veggie options as well. The coffee is especially good, always piping hot. Can't fault it as a straightforward and inexpensive cafe that's that feels a little above the hustle and bustle of the shopping mall due to its elevated position.”

“Massive superstore with every conceivable item you could possibly ever want ranging from frozen food to fresh fruit and vegetables to clothes and tableware and more I really like the fact that within this store there is a McDonalds. Lottery Kiosk, Hair Salon, Card and Gift Shop, Dry Cleaning and toilets. Also the staff here are so friendly, polite and helpful which made a really enjoyable shopping experience. Huge car park with plenty of free parking and a petrol station too. Highly recommended.”

“I bought sausage rolls and hot chocolate. The sausage roll was delicious. It’s the quickest breakfast and trustable before catching train to my office throughout the year.”

“Good value food quickly prepared. The range of items on their menu is impressive for a cafe”

“A great local cafe run by volunteers for the benefit of the community.”

“Our wonderful local bar. 100% recommended. Happy hours Monday and Tuesday. Cheese board free with a bottle of wine to drink in on Wednesday.”

“Great food, vegetarian options, fresh orange juice and amazing price.”

“Perch & Co. near Croxley station is an absolute gem! The rustic vibe of the café immediately makes you feel at home, with its warm, cozy atmosphere and charming decor. The food is exceptional, made with fresh ingredients and bursting with flavor. Their menu offers a great variety, catering to all tastes, from hearty breakfast options to delicious lunch specials. The staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely care about their customers. Whether you're stopping by for a quick coffee or settling in for a leisurely meal, Perch & Co. never disappoints. Highly recommended!”

“I always have a relaxing time at Villiers. This is a cozy and laidback café, with a lot of different treats on offer that cater to a variety of diets. There are vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. I was very appreciative that I could choose between a few flourless snacks. I’ve had the flapjack, the cheesecake, and the salted caramel brownie, all of which I enjoyed. Shoutout to the barista Anna, who always ensures that the gluten free goodies I get are handled safely so I can enjoy them without getting a reaction! The coffee is very good, and I can't complain when there's nice latte art. I don’t love that the latte is served in a glass instead of a mug, but that's more of a preference than a comment on the quality. It tastes great regardless! In short: very nice and recommend!”

“I went to this coffee shop few days ago, and ordered a cappuccino which was damn amazing. The latte art in that coffee was so good that I even took a picture of it. There was this guy named Parin who was a very good guy exceeding excellent hospitality to his customers. I recommend anyone and everyone to visit this coffee shop if you’re craving for fantastic coffee drinks.”

“We had our daughter’s christening party here over the weekend and the team were absolutely amazing. A huge shout out to Amber, Rod, and George - you truly went above and beyond!! The food was fantastic — so many of our guests commented on how delicious everything was. From helping with preparations and decorating, to sorting out drinks ahead of time and even organising the music, you made sure the whole day ran seamlessly. We couldn’t recommend The Royal Oak enough for a special occasion. Thank you so so much for making our celebration so memorable! — Sarah & Tom”

“Elaine is such a friendly landlady! Always feel welcome. Forgot my phone once and the team not only kept it aside for me, but even charged it for when I picked it up! Absolutely stellar every time! And really good quality beer!”

“Since I tasted their coffee, there is no other place I want to drink coffee from. The taste is absolutely AMAZING, and if you are looking to cut sugar down but you still want your coffee to be tasty, this is the place!! The coffee is so good it doesn’t even require any sugar, sweetener or syrups to improve its taste.”

“If you’re heading to bottomless brunch and Pedro is your host, you’re in for a treat! From the moment we arrived, Pedro set the tone for a fun, laid-back, and unforgettable experience. He greeted us with a smile and a conversation , made sure our glasses were never empty,”

“I didn't use Chat gpt to write this, unlike some people! The food is great, couldn’t fault it so it’s a 9.5 out 10 from me. Staff are brilliant too. We will be coming back.”

“Great independent wet pub of the kind that is sadly diminishing. The Guinness is great and the sandwiches much appreciated.”

“Got a cappuccino for take away on a absolutely freezing old morning and it was really warming and tasty. Kept my hands warm too. Service was fast as they weren’t very busy as it was very early morning. Staff were smiling and friendly, nice and talkative as well which makes you feel a bit more comfortable Cappuccino tasted very nice and smooth. The standard Costa coffee taste that I’ve come to know and love. Will be returning again.”
